HT201287 How do I share contact info over SMS while viewing a contact?

I am using iPhone 5S. While viewing a contact information, I would like to send the contcat info over SMS.
As per user guide, if I click on Share Contact and then select Message, New Message screen is popped up but without the contact info.
Need some help here.

When I share a Contact (named "Emergency" in my case), I see a screen like this:
Note at the top is where I would address this message to the person with whom I am sharing.
Are you sure you're set up for messaging?  This may be an MMS message.

  • How do I share contacts with other users on my network

    How do I share contacts with other family members?

    Click on the Sharing button in Contacts. Several options:
    You can also select a bunch of contacts and Export them as vCards. Deliver them to the Family members via disk, thumb drive, email, Airdrop, etc.
    If you mean "share" as in Calendar sharing, then that is not possible.

    How do I share contact details with another contact suing Skype for Windows 8. When I right click on the contact I do not see the option "Share Contact" any more. Any ideas?

    What do you mean share? 
    It is not possible to send contacts from one iPhone to another without installing an app that would support this.  Bump is one such app.
    There is no functionality in iOS to do this.  iCloud can share contacts across multiple iDevices, but it would be ALL contacts, just just a few.

  • How can I share contact list with another MAC

    How can I share my contact list with another MAC?

    Hi,
    There does seem to be a presumption in the other reply that your girlfriend is living with you.
    A File transfer via Bonjour would then work.
    Also the File Sharing in System Preferences > Sharing would cause her computer to show up on your Finder's side bar as a Share.
    With iChat if you both have AIM Login names you could still do File Transfers.
    (It is slightly more complicated if you have Jabber ID logged in alothough not impossible).

  • How do i share contacts on icloud between 2 iphones

    I just updated my iphone 4s and want to share all the contacts on my wife's iphone 4s. How can this be done using iCloud?

    It is difficult to reply to Winston Churchill, sir, but I feel compelled to pursue the question.
    Your suggestion, which no doubtedly works, is not what I would call sharing. 
    I mean no disrespect: neither would you, if the matter was sharing of calendars.
    In that case, you would say that we should mark any specific calendar and mention a different iCloud account and read-write rights. You need not know it's password.  It is up to the email account of that iCloud account, to include these calendars or not.  Since this is iCloud level privileges, it works like magic, on a desktop or when mobile.
    Your suggestion cannot be easily used to share the contacts with a co-worker. 
    Knowing the password means you own the account, in my humble namespace this is not sharing.
    I think there is no way to share contacts in iCloud, just yet, please correct me if I am wrong.
    Sincerely yours,
    Koray

  • How do I share a drive over wireless?

    I recently read an article on CNet that showed how to share a drive over wireless...on Windows.  I have a Macintosh and Airport Express 2g router.  Is it possible to share a drive over the USB port in the Airport express to other Mac or iOS devices?  For reference, I have linked to the CNet Windows sharing article below.  They didn't give any Apple instructions, so I am asking here.  Thanks in advance!
    http://www.cnet.com/how-to/share-an-external-hard-drive-over-a-wi-fi-network/

    You can share files.. with the following notes..
    Sometimes what you can do is not what you should do.
    Store files on the TC.
    This is asked several times a day.. obviously people are struggling with their latest SSD being too small.
    The TC is not suitable for network file server.. but many people having no choice press it into service as such.
    Major issues.
    1. No backup.. no way Time Machine can backup a network drive. No place to backup to.. So all your files will be at risk on the TC. And you will need to buy a third party like CCC to do backup.
    2. The TC cannot be partitioned and mixing TM backups and data is not great. It was and is and ever shall be a backup device for Time Machine.
    3. The drive is slow to spin up and quick to spin down.. there is no control. In fact the TC is so lacking in controls for even the router side.. that you cannot do more than the most basic of setups.
    The following are controls on the hard disk side.
    Reformat it. You can name the share. You can do a full archive of the whole disk. This will go at a speed of aprox. 30-50GB/Hr so calculate how long an archive of a full 2TB will take.
    4. iPhoto in particular can easily corrupt its entire library with wireless networking causing a disconnection to one photo. Even if you do this;;; do not move your photo library... you have been warned!!
              Even apple btw say don’t do it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5168 Although mostly about FAT32           it adds network drives.
    5. iTunes can constantly lose connection to the library. The disk is slow to respond.. itunes on the computer will constantly spit out errors. Even in the midst of streaming the TC can spin down the disk due to caching.
    6. Do not use any live files on the TC no matter what else you do.. if you edit files in whatever program the file must be on the local hard disk.
    7. The only suitable location for most libraries is a computer. You can plug in an external hard disk.

  • How Can I Share iPod Music Over a LAN ?

    I want to share music from an iPod over my LAN.
    I've searched the forum, and can't find an answer there.
    Current Situation
    I have all my music on a G5 and share it over an Airport network, so I can play it from any computer in the house.
    I'm running out of disk space + I need to have iTunes running all the time in the background to serve the music over the network.
    Proposed Solution
    I want to use an old iBook as a music server. The iBook doesn't have enough disk space to store all the music, so I want to move all the music from my G5 to an iPod - then connect the iPod to the iBook and serve the music directly from the iPod.
    If I store the music on the iPod, I can play it fine on the iBook, using iTunes.
    If I enable music sharing on the iBook, the iBook music library can be shared over the network - but this does not include the music in the iPod music library.
    How can I share the iPod music directly over the network ?
    I can't copy the music from the iPod to the iBook - there's not enough disk space.
    I know I can do it by using the iPod in disk mode - and storing the music in an iTunes folder on the iPod. But I also want to use the iPod to play my music in the car - so storing the music in Disk Mode won't help.
    I guess I could set up the iBook to refer to an iTunes folder on the iPod using Disk Mode - then sync the iBook with the iPod --- but that just means I'll have 2 copies of the same music on the iPod --- there must be a better way ...

    To the best of my knowledge, you can't. iTunes can only share music that's in the main iTunes library, not tracks from an iPod. Your best route will probably be to get an external hard drive for your iBook and put the iTunes library there.

  • How can I share contacts with Android users via the "share contact" button via messaging or otherwise

    Appologies in advance if this has been asked before.
    I have an iPhone 5/iOS 6. My friend(s) use Android phones. At times, they request a contact I have, but every time I select "Share Contact" via the button in my iPhone's Contact list, either as an Email or Message, they recieve an unusable file format - in other words, it just doesn't get to them. If I manually copy and paste the fields into a txt, they will get the info. Is there an app, or something I need to do differently to be able to share contacts with Android users via the "Share Contact" button in iOS?
    Thanks,
    Nathan

    Shouldn't be an issue here, as the iPhone shares the contact info in standard vCard format.

  • How do I share contacts with "Family Sharing"?

    My wife and I had been sharing my iCloud account on 2 phones because we want our calendars and contacts synced. I'd rather use the Family Sharing, but it seems like it will not allow you to share contacts. Anyone know who we can do this without having to share the same iCloud account on 2 phones?
    Thanks!

    I have the same issue more or less.
    iMac contacts are set up to support us both, some contacts are common, some for each individual, separated by groups. Prior to iOS 8 shared my iCloud account to get contacts and iCal across iMac and two iPhones. Just tried family share, worked fine for iCal but did share contacts for wife's phone, who was an invited group member. I understand that Family Share does not work for this operation. That is a FAIL in my opinion if true. Deleted family share. Now back to one iCloud account. Issue with one account is that I get all of her "recents" showing up in mail and messages and now on the home screen. I would really like to have things more separated.  All ideas are welcome!
    Just read this:
    My thinking is the the new Family Sharing is a FAIL and that following the advice of this article is still valid.

  • How can I share contacts in a specific group

    I want to share a specific group of contacts without having to share each of the contacts individually.

    iPad
    Yes, her contacts show up on her iPad, but only on her iPad
    iCloud
    She has her own iCloud ID but none of the contacts show up on it because they are in a group called 'Hotmail' and it is impossible on her iPad to change their group to 'iCloud'
    Mac
    I had already set up an account for her on my Mac, so her iPad is backed up.  But when she syncs her contacts to Mail on my Mac, none of the contacts come across, because they are not iCloud contacts.
    My question is still how do I get these contacts off the iPad and onto either the cloud or the mac so I can change their group so they sync in future and so that we can send a group email advising her friends and relatives of her change of email address.  If this is not possible it means emailing a hundred or so people individually.
    How sad that it is not possible on the ipad to select all contacts and assign them to a different group.

  • How can you share Contacts and use Family Sharing?

    Still sharing 1apple ID & 1 iCloud from way back when.  Kids were little, syncing was simple... turned off their device iClouds and synced apps, playlist, shows w/ iMac via usb.  I loved having my contacts, bookmarks, notes synced via iCloud and it became VERY handy when kid1 got an iPhone (appointments, practices, friends #s w/ ease!)   We've recently added a macbook and another iPhone to the mix, we've got music issues & iPads ringing.... so a potential overall may be due?
    Now that Family Sharing is here, it's still missing features that we USE:
    * Notes (grocery list, packing lists...)
    * Contacts (each family member has a 'group' name, they add to their group and the family's master list is 'all contacts' for anyone to access incase of emergencies.... anyone keeping up w/ kids lately?!)
    * And the ever present iCloud icon is a looming feature for anyone, any age in the shared-family to be too curious...
    * CAN any of these features be added along w/ Family Sharing?
    HOW do I set up a simple family sharing system w/o interfering w/ bookmarks, personal notes, FaceTime/msg crossovers :
    share our purchases (apps, music from our iTunes/playlists, podcast),
    share our calendar
    share our contacts
    share a family notes
    msgs/facetime for each member
    mom: iphone, ipad, imac
    dad:  iphone
    kid1: iphone, macbook
    kid2: ipad
    kid3: ipad
    Thanks to anyone that has this set up and will share the method to my madness.  Didn't know where to post this, sorry about that.

    After having burned the AudioCD from iTunes Menu Advanced choose "Submit Track Names ..."
    That will put the data of your CD into CDDB.
    It may take between some hour and a few days until it is recognized on a second computer through CDDB.

  • How do you share same info on multiple account computer

    Excuse what may be a simple or obvious question, but I'm new to this particular environment...
    We're moving info from an older G4 computer to a new MacPro.
    On the older G4 computer, we had just one account which all users accessed -- it was a very simple work setup. On the newer MacPro, all users will have their own account.
    There is still certain info/data that all users will need to access, such as Address Book info, iPhoto photos, and iTune songs.
    1. After we set up the separate user accounts, what is the best way to set up the MacPro so that all users can access the same iTunes, iPhoto, Address Book, etc. data?
    2. For other files that an individual may be working on -- such as Word, inDesign, Excel, etc. -- how can one user best access another user's file.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Re: Sharing iPhoto...
    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

  • How do I share contacts between separate users on the SAME Mac?

    I need help with an issue that came up today. A client asked me to put all her friend's names and addresses into her contacts.  After entering all the names into the address book I realized that I had entered them all into her husband's contacts, as his user ID was logged on when I opened the computer.  I now need to find a way to export/transfer/copy all those entries to a separate contacts/address book on the SAME Mac?  Anyone have a simple solution?

    Hello Whigged-out,
    It sounds like you would like to share one library between two different users on your iMac.  I found an article with steps you can take to accomplish this:
