9800 adds prefix No's to all contact numbers

New torch bought in Australia adds the No. 86 to the start of each of my contacts numbers when I call/message them. So the contact number 04xx yyy zzz becomes 864xx yyy zzz. Being Chinas' country code I am guessing my phone originated in China???? How do I stop the phone from adding the prefix??? OS is 6.0.0.668

How do I add the country code to all contacts when it did not previously appear?

I just moved from the US to the UK and purchased a new iPhone 4S. When my contacts migrated from Outlook to the iPhone they did not include the country code in the US and therefore all contacts numbers are now listed incorrectly. How can I add the country code to hundreds of contacts painlessly?
Thanks in advance.

International Assist is activated. Upon further review this appears to be a case of the original country codes not being added when the contact list was constructed. iOS has not figured this out and thus when changing countries I've been forced to add the country codes to every contact record manually. Disappointing and very labour intensive. If only Apple allowed for a macro that simplified the mass change.

Lost all contact numbers, what should i do to recover?

She's lost all the contact numbers so many time during this week.

I will repeat a post I have just made:
See [[lost bookmarks]] and as a cautionary tale with a happy ending the [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/787020#answer-141048 thread] ''"I deleted by mistake bookmarks by uninstalling the previous version of Firefox beta 4.011b... Is there anyway to recover them? "''
Sorry to hear of your problems and hope reading the other posts helps you with what may well be a very similar problem.

IPhone shows all contact numbers in new sms

When I create a new message and select the recipient from my contacts, my iPhone lists landline numbers that I would never send a message to. I want it to show the recipient's mobile number first. Can this be done? I think I am correct in saying that the numbers are shown in the order that they have been entered against the contact. So if I create a new contact and add a home number, office number and the their mobile number, then when i create a sms to that user, the home and office numbers are offered first and i have to scroll down select the mobile number.

Thats quite an undertaking. For existing contacts I would have delete all the entries which are above the mobile number and then re-enter them underneath.

How to use Find Change to add FC in front of all item numbers?

Hello,
I am using Indesign CS5 on iMac, running OS 10.8.3.
I designed a product catalog that has 148 pages. Now I need to save the same design and make a new catalog for our wholesalers. On the wholesalers catalog I need to change the item numbers and add FC in front of each item number. How can I use find change to find each item and change them with FC in front of the item numbers? The following are a few examples of the item numbers:
LED-4042 I want to change it to FCLED-4042
UA-42 I want to change it to FCUA-42
SC-110 change it to FCSC-110
KN-10 change it to FCKN-10
etc....
I am hoping there is a fast way to find and change these. I was looking in to GREP, but I could not figure how to do this.
Thanks,
Omar

One way would be to just run it and then *remove* any double FC's -- but GREP can do even more! One of its many functions is to scan ahead for the presence or absence of certain text, and only act when it is (or it is not) there. This is called "lookbehind" (before the text you want to match) and "lookahead" (after the text you want to match).
In this case, you want to find a phrase starting with capitals, but NOT the exact string "FC". That's a job for Negative Lookahead -- Only Match If Not.
Try this: search for
\b(?!FC)\u+-\d+\b
... the Replace With stays the same.

Is there a way to restore the All Contacts app on my iPad 1. it seems the data and cannot turn a page or add more contacts

Is there a way to restore the All Contacts app on my gen 1 ipad? I seem to have lost the data and can't turn a page or add new contacts. I did try to reload the contacts (and I guess everything else) from my itunes computer backup but nothing happens to the All Contacts app. everything else seems to work fine on the ipad so I'm not sure what happened to the data or why. not sure i want to try and reset the whole ipad just for this one little app or feature...thanks in advance to any replies.

Sorry, had to sep out. I see the contacts "page" but I can't use the letters on the left margin or a finger touch to change location. Nor does anything happen when I touch the plus sign to allow me to add a new contact. So maybe he actual old contact data is still there I just can't get to it. Rick

Hi,
commonly used conversion routine is ALPHA.
It is conversion used to insert leading zero for document number.
For example, in sales order (VBAK-VBELN length 10),
when we key in order no, for example we key in '4302',
conversion routine input will automatically add leading zero,
so it will become '0000004302', this is real value stored in table VBAK.
On conversion routine output, it will delete leading zero
function CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT, this will add leading zeros to a character based field of any length.
Ex:
data: lv_c(10) type c value '123'.
call function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
          exporting
                  input = lv_c
          importing
                 output = lv_c.
write:/ lv_c.
Regards.

All Contacts won't open a new contact page

I am a first time owner of a new iphone4 which was professionall set up and synced (Macbook Pro, ipod) for me. I was successfully enterering contacts when the ALL CONTACTS + function unexpectedly froze.
Not sure if I hit something in error and have no idea where to investigate this problem.

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

How can I replace ALL Contacts on the iPhone with my MobileMe Contacts?

I have removed all duplicates in AddressBook on my various Macs and have uploaded the master copy to MobileMe. I would now like to replace all Contacts on my iPhone with that MobileMe master.
I have followed the steps in the KB article for syncing the iPhone but when I get to the step of turning on the iPhone Settings for the Contacts it looks like the sync wants to merge the contacts. Of course, I do not want to "merge" since that will reintroduce all those duplicates.
I suppose I could manually delete each of the the hundreds of contacts that are on my phone until it is empty ... and then turn on the iPhone setting for Contacts. That way it will have no option other than "add." But surely there is a more efficient way.
(FWIW, when I turned OFF the setting for the Calendar it did empty the iPhone's calendar, which is what I wanted. But it didn't do that for the Contacts -- I turned that setting off but I was not asked if I wanted to keep or toss the Contacts. They are all still on the phone.)
This is an OG iPhone, if that matters.

Brilliant! That worked like a charm.
I created a new User Account on one of my Macs and logged into it. I connected my iPhone to its iTunes and checked my iPhone's Sync Contacts option in iTunes. Since that account's address book was basically empty (two dummy contacts, one for Apple and one for this new user), I ended up with only those two Contacts on the phone. Then, going back to my real User account (which does not have syncing turned on in iTunes) the phone synced nicely with the MobileMe account and populated the phone with all the MobileMe contacts and groups.

When I open Contacts file in Applications a dialog box states "All Contacts (no cards)"

When I open Contacts file in Applications a dialog box states "All Contacts (no cards)" My contacts are still located on the computer because I can still send emails as the contacts address is show as soon as I start to enter the name.
Therefore I am unabled to view the full contacts listing.
How do I restore this list?

Hello Barney-15E
I was not aware of the existance of Previous Recipients.
However I have only added my contacts via the Contacts v Card.
I have selected all contacts and clicked "Add to Contacts" All now restored to original location.
Thanks Barney-15E for your prompt response.

E-mail addresses in Apple Mail not showing up in Apple Contacts (iCloud All Contacts)

I've been going though my contacts in the Apple Contacts app, which I have set up to use iCloud, deleting old contacts and cleaning up messy ones. And I've noticed there are a lot of e-mail addresses that I have in Apple Mail - I just start to type a few letters in the To: field and they come up - that are nowhere to be seen in the Contacts app.
Shouldn't these be in my Contacts app? Where else would these contacts be stored? And is there a way to sync them into my iCloud All Contacts or do I have to manually track each one down and add it in the Contacts app?
Quick edit to add: I've also now noticed that the same applies on my iPhone. E-mail addresses appear in iOS Mail that are not in my iOS Contacts app (I've performed a search to be doubly sure). Where do these contacts live and why are they not in my Contacts apps?

I do have both of those, but only iCloud shows up in my Contacts sidebar, and addresses are being sent there so I guess it's the default. Funny how this stuff is all so murky.
Not murky at all:
And as the On My Mac account does not show then it is empty. (It's visible if it is the default or if it has any content)
I haven't come across your last point, (no email address) so no help there I'm afraid.

Almost all contacts disappeared on iPad

I used Contact Cleaner to remove duplicates in my Address Book, a problem created long ago with sync problems with Outlook.
A subsequent sync with my iPhone went OK, but the sync with my iPad deleted most contacts, leaving only one each for a few of the letters of the alphabet.
I am not using iCloud because I was burned by the password fiasco way back when with the introduction of iOS 6. I have been successfully syncing calendars, contacts, podcasts, and music up to about three weeks ago.
For some reason I had Sync Contacts in iTunes unchecked for my iPad, but even checking Sync Contacts for all contacts does not restore contacts from my Address Book.
Oops! I also had Sync Contacts unchecked in iTunes for my iPhone. When I checked it and set All Contacts, on syncing I lost almost every contact on my iPhone.
I also tried Replace information in the Advanced section. On the next sync, no information was replaced.
The only place that I could switch on Contacts was from a mail account. Nowhere could I find a place to switch on Apple's Address Book.
Is this one of the marvelous fixes to iOS 7.0.4?

It looks like Apple jumped the gun on not syncing contacts in iOS 7.0.4.
"Sync contacts from your computer or Yahoo!: In iTunes on your computer, turn on contact syncing in the device info pane. For information, see iTunes Help."
From iPhone User Guide For iOS 7 (October 2013)
"You can use iTunes to sync the contacts, calendars, notes, Safari bookmarks, and email account information on your computer with your iPod, iPhone, or iPad. iTunes also syncs this information from your device to your computer—for example, if you add contacts on your iPad, syncing adds those contacts to Contacts on your computer (or Address Book, in some versions of OS X).
"When you sync, iTunes determines whether your device or your computer contains the most recent information, and lets you choose the information you want to sync.
"Note: These instructions apply only if you use OS X v.10.8.5 or earlier. If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud."
From iTunes Help, "Sync contacts, calendars, and other info with iPod, iPhone, or iPad", accessed 2013-11-26
Since I am still running OS X 10.7, iOS 7 should still sync my contacts through Wi-Fi or USB cable.
This dictum does ignore people who have a Mac and an iPhone but no home internet access. I know of such people. Suppose I receive a letter and put the contact info in my Mac. I then write a paper response and use a program like Easy Envelopes to print the envelope (a lot neater than my handwriting). Easy Envelopes takes the info from my Address Book. Now I go out with my iPhone a few days later but without my Mac and decide to follow up the letter with a phone call. Unless I had hand-copied the phone number, it won't be on my cell phone. This is even more problematic if I have an iMac rather than a laptop.
As for the password fiasco, if I remember correctly, it was when iOS 6 was introduced and iCloud was offered. If a person forgot their password, they couldn't get a new password for the ID they used. They had to use another ID. I think it finally settled out somehow. I am not sure of my password for iCloud, it is already in my iPhone/iPad settings and I successfully turned on iCloud syncing of my Address Book and the Contacts. I hope it is now that linked to my Apple ID; that password I know.
I also hope that none of my information raises a red flag with the NSA or that iCloud doesn't go down when I need it the most. Or even my local DSL service! Which has happened!

My iphone 5c "all contacts" list suddenly shows groups in the upper left corner and has lost the phone numbers on most of them. how do I get them back?

The contacts list on my iphone 5c suddenly shows groups in the upper left hand corner of the all contacts list and many of the phone numbers no longer show. How do I get them back? I can't seem to get the groups word to disappear.

Hi there bvb913,
It sounds like you may have a group of contacts hidden. While in the Contacts app, tap Groups > Show All Contacts. Take a look at the User Guide below for more information.
