Quotation marks under some contact names

So I have this issue that's been bugging me for a while. Under some of my contact names there are quotations (ie ""). I know where they are coming from, they are from the field "Nick Name." The problem is that I do not have any nick names for any of my contacts. Whenever I go to edit a contact on my iphone, the "Nick Name" field is always there, but it is blank (and there is no way for me to get rid of it). Unlike other fields such as "Prefix" or "Suffix", if I add them, but then do not fill in that field with anything when I edit the name, the field automatically goes away. I have checked Address Book and none of my contacts have a "Nick Name" field. The same is true for my MobileMe Account. This is really annoying!!! It seems as though my iPhone is randomly deciding to add the field "Nick Name" to some of my contacts, and does not give me the option the delete that field. Does anyone else have this issue and know what to do?
Also, I have checked and there is no space or anything in that field (it is completely blank) and I have tried replacing all my contacts on my iPhone and even restored my iPhone to factory settings and then synced everything back. (No Workie)

Hi,
I have not worked out why but if the Contacts apps on both devices are not Synced then what you describe happens.
It seems worse if the Mac (System Preferences > iCloud > Contacts option) has been on in the past and then turned Off.
This seems to "lose" whatever was the Address Book/Contacts info before hand (even if it started on the Mac and was used to populate the iPhone's version).
Whilst iCloud is the listed choice here it also works with other method (System Preferences > Internet Accounts such as Facebook or Google)
To check open the Contacts app and go to Preferences > Accounts and see what it list for Syncing.
it can get confused if two are listed.

Some contact names disappeared

Yesterday some of my contact names just disappeard.
Some of them are in my favorites where they now shows up as a number instead.
I Updated the phone to the latest iOS three days ago.
Someone having a clue why and what to do?

Check under Settings > iCloud to see if the Contacts switch is ON (green side showing). If it's already on, switch it off for 30-60 seconds, then back on again. Your contacts should start showing up shortly.

How do i save a range of telephone numbers as under 1 contact name?

Recently company A has been send me SMSs using different number from a specific range eg. 012 231 0582, 012 231 0589, 012 231 0592, etc
So i want to save this range of numbers under 1 contact but not one number at a time, i just want to save it as a range e.g 012 231 0500-99 such that if i receive an SMS from any of the numbers it is just recongised as from company A and the sms is stored together with other previous SMSs from the same contact even tho from different numbers.
Can this be done?

yes you can, although im not sure if you can do it for as much as 99 numbers.
just create 1 contact first (e.g. Company SMS, 1234567) under Contacts, click on the "+" on the top right hand of the screen.
You will then see that you can input numbers under "Mobile". Once you do that, the next field appears, and if you key in a number there, the next field appears and so on.

I cant find face time in my iphone5 , and i tried via contact and i did not find a buttom of face time under a contact name

Hi there , i am a new on iphone , i cant find a face time in my iphone5 ( black 16 GB ) also i have been advised to go to contact and i will find the buttom of face time under the contact details , but i dont. i need your help on that as i need this service to contact my son in USA. Regards, Fathi

If you bought the iphone in the Middle East, then it likely does not have facetime, as many governments in the region do not allow it.

Why does my iPad recognise some contact names but not others I can send some messages but not others

When I try to send messages some names are recognised and some are not

If you are talking about iMessage... It will send messages to people that are using ios5, and have turned I message on on their device. For your other contacts, you need to send a good old fashioned e mail.

Some contact names are not being updated

Some of my friends show as live:abc123 or facebook:abc123 and don't update in my contacts list even when the friends change it later in their profile. I have this issue both on Windows and Windows Phone. Please fix this.

I am seeing similar results.
Amanda, did you find resolution?

On the search screen old messages show up under a contacts name

How can I remove old messages and email from the search screen.

he won't get them since iMessage runs through apple id's so if you guys have different apple id's your good

ASP recordset quotation mark trouble

Hello everyone,
I've got a recordset that pulls sales data based on a
specific product that
is selected by the client from a dynamic dropdown of all the
products in the
database.
The trouble:
If the product name has quotation marks in it, no results are
returned.
If there are no quotation marks in the product name, results
are returned.
I thought everything was going fine during testing, until I
used quotation
marks in a product's name. The client enters the product
names as he or she
adds new ones to the database for this online store and
should be able to
use quotes.
This product name works: The Gadget
This one does not: The "Gadget"
The value from the dropdown used in the recordeset is named
product_Name.
I'm thinking the quotes being inserted into the SQL select
statement might
be the trouble ( WHERE product_Name = ? ), but I'm not sure.
Here's the relevant recordset code:
<%
Dim Recordset1__MMColParam
Recordset1__MMColParam = "1"
If (Request.QueryString("product_Name") <> "") Then
Recordset1__MMColParam = Request.QueryString("product_Name")
End If
%>
<%
Dim Recordset1
Dim Recordset1_cmd
Dim Recordset1_numRows
Set Recordset1_cmd = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Command")
Recordset1_cmd.ActiveConnection = MM_conn_box_STRING
Recordset1_cmd.CommandText = "SELECT cst_FirstName,
cst_LastName, order_ID,
order_Total, orderSKU_Quantity, product_Name FROM
cwq_OrderDetails WHERE
product_Name = ? ORDER BY cst_LastName ASC"
Recordset1_cmd.Prepared = true
Recordset1_cmd.Parameters.Append
Recordset1_cmd.CreateParameter("param1",
200, 1, 125, Recordset1__MMColParam) ' adVarChar
Set Recordset1 = Recordset1_cmd.Execute
Recordset1_numRows = 0
%>
<%
Dim Repeat1__numRows
Dim Repeat1__index
Repeat1__numRows = -1
Repeat1__index = 0
Recordset1_numRows = Recordset1_numRows + Repeat1__numRows
%>
Here's the relevant dynamic dropdown page's code.
The dropdown works fine, but if needed this shows where the
product name
used in the select statement comes from.
<%
Dim eventlist
Dim eventlist_cmd
Dim eventlist_numRows
Set eventlist_cmd = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Command")
eventlist_cmd.ActiveConnection = MM_conn_box_STRING
eventlist_cmd.CommandText = "SELECT DISTINCT product_Name
FROM
cwq_OrderDetails2 WHERE product_Archive = 0 ORDER BY
product_Name ASC"
eventlist_cmd.Prepared = true
Set eventlist = eventlist_cmd.Execute
eventlist_numRows = 0
%>
<form name="form1" method="get"
action="eventresults.asp">
<label>Events
<select name="product_Name" id="allevents">
<option value="">(select an event)</option>
<%
While (NOT eventlist.EOF)
%><option
value="<%=(eventlist.Fields.Item("product_Name").Value)%>"><%=(eventlist.Fields.Item("pro duct_Name").Value)%></option>

Thank you for taking a look.
Take care,

Thanks Matthew,
I had thought about &quot but that would actually make
for a lot of work in changing other parts of the application. It
would cause some problems with a couple of reports the application
generates and exports as far as naming conventions as well as order
confirmation emails and invoices that are automatically sent.
Also, I honestly would rather not have to tell clients they
need to enter code in. I've had a couple of folks who had very
little experience with computers. Showing them how to upload a
product image in a very user friendly admin section was difficult.
I can't image trying to explain why they need to enter code instead
of just typing The "Gadget" in the box that say's "Enter your
product name".
Thanks for taking a look, and I actually have a less complex
app where that might work nicely :-)
Take care,
Tim

Copying contacts name and number onto SIM card

Hi. Firstly I know there are topics* on this, albeit outdated and offer no real solutions.
This issue need serious attention.
Scenario
BB Curve scroller is broke, can't scroll up/down.
Backed up my contact list to restore later when I get my fixed phone back.
Meanwhile, to use a replacement phone, I will need some contact names + numbers on my SIM.
I cannot count on the replacement being a BB, don't count on sync.
Solutions
Copying a few contacts one-by-one is _not_ an option, without a scroller this is impossible.
Example: Home screen > press "c" for contacts -> filter to contact > menu > press "v" to select view > can't scroll to the number to actualize the 'copy to SIM' menu action.
So, how can I copy my contacts to the SIM card?
Notes
Reading the older threads, there is very unhelpful biased rude remarks about how this requested "feature" is not 'important' enough or a real requirement for modern phones.
I say this house is built on wobbly foundations. This is the base of HID (human interaction devices), cross communication and transfer of data.
I'm disappointed in RIM for locking down the device in such a way - so many folks ask for this feature, because it is a standard around since the first of cellular phones.
SIM card may only have 32K of storage, but I still expect them to keep a name and a number if I need.

Unfortunately, I don't either. If you delete the MobileMe account from the iPhone, I believe you'll erase all of the contact info on the iPhone. If it's not in MobileMe either...well, that's not good!
One possibility for the contacts data (but not the calendar data). Contacts are backed up when you sync the iPhone (not to your Address Book via sync with MobileMe active, but in the iPhone backup made by iTunes before a sync). There's 3rd party app, MobileSyncBroswer, which can export the contact info from the iPhone's backup file on your hard drive. You'd need to buy a license to actually export the contact data, the free version lets you see part of the contact info so you can make sure it's there.

Phone number, not contact name, appears for new iMessage notification

I am currently in Israel and using an Israeli SIM card with my iPhone 5C. I have unlimited data so I was told I was able to use iMessage. I am having an issue when talking to just one person. When I receive the banner or lock screen notification that I have a new message from him it just displays the phone number (area code and seven digits, no 1 or +1 or anything). Then when I swipe or tap to view the message it automatically brings me to a new message screen "To" his phone number (also the phone number is showing up green even though it is an iPhone). When I cancel the new message and am then in my Message app and viewing all my conversations, the new message is there under his contact name that is saved in my phone... And messages are blue etc. in our conversation. His number is saved with a +1 in my contacts as I am abroad and the contact name was appearing in my Messages. When I removed the +1 from his contact the phone is not recognizing him in my messages and just shows up as the number. This is very very frustrating. Please help! Thank you.

this issue corrected itself 2 days later, the power of prayer!

New 4S won't recognize contact names for messages

I just got the new 4S iPhone (woohoo!). Everything synced to this new phone, including my contacts. However, it's doing this strange thing with the texts -- its not recognizing the phone numbers with my contacts. So, although I have the number stored under someone's name in my phone, the text is only showing the phone number .... What can I do to change this???
I even tried saying these text messages under the contacts name, but it still won't do anything.

I recently updated over the air to ios 5.1 over the air on my iphone. Now when I send texts to other iphone users, it is showing my old apple id as my identification on their iphones...instead of my name/mobile number shown in their contacts. I recently updated my apple id to a new email address because I changed carriers. Accessing itunes store with new apple id works fine.
So I send a text to my friend and he sees "[email protected]" instead of my name which is in his contacts. The same thing happens with other people with iphones. I have VW as my carrier. If I send texts to non iphone users, they show my name as listed in their contacts. So definitely an iphone to iphone issue.
I tried reprogramming the phone using *228 with VW and pressing 1. It hasn't helped. It also went back to normal for a day so I thought it was fixed, but is happening again now.
This is so frustrating. My iphone friends don't know who I am when I text them so they aren't responding!!!!

Quotations under Contact Name

So I have this issue that's been bugging me for a while. Under some of my contact names there are quotations (ie ""). I know where they are coming from, they are from the field "Nick Name." The problem is that I do not have any nick names for any of my contacts.

I have checked Address Book and none of my contacts have a "Nick Name" field. The same is true for my MobileMe Account. This is really annoying!!! It seems as though my iPhone is randomly deciding to add the field "Nick Name" to some of my contacts, and does not give me the option the delete that field. Does anyone else have this issue and know what to do?
Also, I have checked and there is no space or anything in that field (it is completely blank).

it's important to use 10-digit or fullly compliant international numbers for all contacts to keep things working smootly.
on the other hand, if when you have the contact properly filled out and the recent calls or sms list show just the number it's likely a corrupted addressbook.
I had this problem since i restored my iPhone 4 onto my iPhone 4s. turned out to be a corrupted address book database on the phone.
deleting the database @ /Users/Library/AddressBook (all files starting with AddressBook) (while Addressbook NOT running and when iCloud sync and iTunes sync both off) and re-run address book to create empty database before re enable sync solved it!

Some contacts have disappeared from my phone contacts. They are still in the phone because if someone calls me their name appears and if i search in text for contacts they are still there - but if i search in phone contacts they are not there, Help

Some contacts have disappeared from my phone. Not all just random ones. They are still in the phone because if someone (who has disappeared from my phone contacts calls me their name appears and if i search in text messages for contacts they are still there - but if i search in phone contacts they are not there, Help!

But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts. If they go, then a good size chunk of the other space goes. I know you CAN delete texts for good. It worked fine before. All i want to know is why its not working for me now, and how to fix it.
I also know that when you delete texts on your iphone, they get marked for deletion, however they stay on your device (thats why they show up when you search for them.) then when you sync your device with itunes, the texts marked for deletion should disappear. When i synced they didnt disappear. Thats what i need an explanation/solution for. Why the texts marked for deletion didnt get fully deleted after the sync.

Removing quotation marks from channel names

Firstly - I am new to both DIAdem and VB so please forgive my ignorance!
I have a large data set containg many groups with (almost) identical channel names in each group. For reasons not worth going into some of the channel names have quoation marks around them, while others do not.
I am trying to remove the quoation marks to make all channel names consistent throughout the groups, for this I was hoping to loop through the groups renaming channels as appropriate
I think this should work:-
For
i = 1 to GROUPCOUNT
Call GROUPDEFAULTSET(i)
CN(""ChannelName"")="ChannelName"
Next
Where ChannelName is the name I am trying to replace, But I get the following error:- Expected ')'
Can anyone point out where I am going wrong?
(Note - I also tried using triple quotation marks ("""ChannelName"""), but I get this error instead - CN(""ChannelName""):=ChannelName Close bracket ")" expected for field index)
For bonus points - how to I get the loop to skip over any groups where the channel I am referencing already doesn't have quotation marks in it, rather than giving me an error that the channel can't be found?
Many thanks in advance for any assistance!
Dan
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello Dan,
You are using an old script syntax to manipulate the data. Please find below the current way to replace quotation marks with an underscote:
dim iLoopG, iLoopC, oGroup, oGroupChns, sQM
sQM = chr(34) ' the " character
set oGroup = Data.Root.ChannelGroups
for iLoopG = 1 to oGroup.Count
set oGroupChns = oGroup(iLoopG).Channels
for iLoopC = 1 to oGroupChns.Count
'msgbox oGroupChns(iLoopC).Name
oGroupChns(iLoopC).Name = Replace(oGroupChns(iLoopC).Name, sQM, "_")
next
next

How to find some contact under Company option?

When you look for a contact under name or last name is very easy, but when you use your phone as integrated solution, most of the times you have to look for some contact under company name or other options different tha name or last name...how to do it? If can't, this will be a very good addition for the next version...keep this in mind you developing team! I use to have a Treo before a move to iphone, and this was a very nice option they have...take a look of this.
