200 iPhone 4 contacts, but 200 entries called mobile too
Howdy!
I picked up my iPhone 4 last week, synced it with my MB, didn't really pay much attention to what it was syncing. Now I've noticed though that it has synced my mac's address book, and for every contact I've got another contact called 'mobile' with their mobile number in there.
If possible, I'd prefer to just delete the entire contacts list, and import from my gmail account, but again, I don't know if this can be done!
Thank you in advance lovely Apple peoples! :o)
You can export all your Google Contacts as a vCard file and then import them into your empty Mac Address Book.
In Google, select all, export, vCard, export, save
Empty your Address Book, then sync.
Then import your vCard file, then sync again

IPhone deleted contacts, but I do not use the cloud?
My iPhone 4S deleted my contacts! I do not use the cloud but I do the wi-fi sync with iTunes. I only sync the music from my iTunes to my phone. Also, iTunes is not giving me the option to restore the backup, what now?
You should be syncing your contacts with your computer regularly.
If you have failed to do this then they are likely gone. -
IPhone 4 contacts do not sync with Mobile Me
For some reason there is a small piece of syncing that is not working. My contacts and calender events sync from my iMac to MobileMe to my iPhone perfectly. However, when I enter contacts in my iPhone they do not sync to MobileMe or the iMac. The Calender events work, but not the contacts. I have searched many other posts, but I cannot seem to find how to get thie fixed. Any thoughts? Thanks
Hey..
Hopefully this support article will help you. The problem is clearly between your iPhone and MobileMe/Mac...check the settings of your handset using this document:
MobileMe Setup - iPhone & iPod Touch
Hopefully this post has been helpful in solving the issue.
Please let me know how you get on.
Best of luck..

Cannot make calls from my iPhone from contacts
I just installed yosemite and was able to make calls on my iPhone from contacts but now it seems as its gone away
Your car BT device has to support the Bluetooth Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP) to sync contacts from your iPhone. Check with the manual for that device.

I deleted a contact out of my iPhone 4S but when I go to send a message the contact appears although that individual is no longer in my address book. I deleted all text and call history pertaining to the deleted contact but still shows up. Does anyone have the same issue and how do I fix it?

I have imported contacts from Outlook to Mail and they have synced via iCloud to my iPhone 3GS. I can't get my iPhone to make a call using these contacts (it tries but then says call ended) but if I dial the number of any of the contacts on the keypad, the call DOES work! Help me please - is there something I need to do to the contacts because tehy came from Outlook? Thanks
Thank you for replying. Yes I deleted the old email address..

Hi,This morning I wanted to call, so I took my phone ( Iphone 4 S) ,but my All contacts list was empty! I checked in my computer ( windows 8) I have them in Iclould. How can I bring back my data?
Hello Noushin,
It sounds like you are unable to see your contacts in the phone, but have confirmed they are still at http://www.icloud.com. I would next try these troubleshooting steps from the article named:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3998
If you're using iOS 7, quit and restart the Contacts app on your iOS device:
Press the Home button twice to see preview screens of the apps you have open.
Find the Contacts preview screen and swipe it up and out of preview to quit the application.
Tap the Home button to return to your Home screen.
Wait a minute before reopening the Contacts app.
Turn iCloud Contacts off and back on:
Tap Settings > iCloud.
Turn Contacts off. Choose to delete data only if your data exists at icloud.com/contacts and on one or more of your devices. Otherwise, choose Keep Data.
Wait a few minutes before turning Contacts back on.
Restart your iOS device by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and then swiping the screen when prompted to power off. Then turn your device back on. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Contacts and calendar entries go to ipad from iphone but not vice versa
i've got the cloud set up on both my new iPad and iPhone--problem is when I make contact or calendar entries on the iPhone, they cloud right over to the iPad, but when I make entries into the iPad, they don't go to the iPhone--I've checked settings on both devices and can't figure out the issue--please help!
Make sure you are entering the contacts and calendar events on your iCloud account. On your iPad, check Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar. Here make sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default, and not something else like On My iPad, Google Calendar, and exchange account calendar, etc.
Then go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the contacts section) and make sure you have selected iCloud as your default. (If you don't see this settings, this isn't the problem).
If your settings for your calendar is correct on your iPad and it still won't sync new calendar events to your phone, go to icloud.com from your computer and enter any missing calendar events on your iPad that are not on your calendar on icloud.com. Once your iCloud calendar is up to date, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Calendars to Off, choose Delete from My iPad when prompted, then after a minute or so turn Calendars back to On to sync your iCloud calendars back to your phone. Then enter a new event on your iPad and confirm that it syncs to icloud.com now.
If your settings for your contacts are correct on your iPad and it still won't sync new contacts to your phone, do the same thing for Contacts (add any missing contacts to icloud.com, turn iCloud syncing off, choose Delete from My iPhone, after a minute turn contact syncing back on, try adding a new contacts to confirm that it syncs). -

I have set up my new iPhone 4 to sync with my MacBook Pro using iCloud as default. This works fine with Calendars on iCal in both directions. However, I am struggling with Contacts because new entries on the iPhone appear on my Mac's Address Book fine but erratically the other way. New entries on the Mac seem to appear OK on the iPhone but edits to existing accounts do not appear. Also, many entries were missing when I imported the main list from Mac to iPhone but that was done by cable through iTunes before setting up iCloud.
Welcome to the Apple community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing. -
Is it a way to increase from iphone 5 the phone caller list and individual info details of the contacts? I can increase font for Contacts but not for the caller list nor individual info details of contacts.
No JG9, no remedy yet. Still hoping.
I'm wondering if we should ask help from RIM instead of other users, as this is obviously glitch of the device, not tips ans tricks we want to learn. -
Help! We have a form with more than 200 entries and when I looked at it yesterday it had one! When you download the form to excel they all show up. However, when I added another record today it disappeared. Can you tell me what's happening? I've been using adobe forms for 2 years with mass response feedback and have never had this problem.
Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,

my iphone automatically locked and it does not open again,but if u call the sim that was inserted you will hear that it was active,so please help me how to open my iphone 4,no display appeared if you touch the switch button,
Hello arlyn-cavite,
If the screen is not showing anyting when you press any of the buttons you may want to try these steps.
From article iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 15 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Take care,
Sterling
