About * or # in the contact

Before, with 3GS, I wrote pre-programmed contact with * or #. It was for exemple to avoid waiting on a responder or dial a code for taxi.
one of my contact was 0142880469p*2 ; and it was working!
BUT now with my iphone 4S, my operator says "it s a wrong number" How can I do?
please help me

Not supported yet. Just like *67. Have you tried a comma instead of a # sign?

  • I have an iphone 5 and use verizon service.  I just lost about 60% of my contacts.  I am using verizon back-up assist to sync my contacts.  I actually had to have my phone reset at the store and lost all my app etc.  I want to avoid this in the future.

    I have an iphone 5 and just suddenly lost about 60% of my contact list.  They just disappeared from my contact list.  I also could not add new contacts. Someone told me that it might be because I was using verizon back up assist.  I had my phone reset at the store and am now using icloud.  I lost all my apps and have had to manually re-enter my contacts.  I would like to avoid this happening again.  Is it my phone? Can anyone comment.  Thank you!

    From reading Vista forums support for SSD is one of the things Vista SP2 and Windows 7 hope (need) to improve upon. I was in a similar discussion once befoe on SSDs:

    I don't think it is EFI issue, but with XP and drivers, lack, and wonder if you can try with Vista?

    That won't solve performance issues, but should work.

    "My guess is that [Samsung and Microsoft] are maybe working on the OS recognizing an SSD with a 4K-byte sector size instead of a hard disk drive with a 512-byte sector size," Wong said.
    Sun is already working with Samsung to bulk up SSD support on the ZFS (Zettabyte File System), which is included in the Solaris OS, and will also be supported in Apple's upcoming Mac OS X 10.6, codenamed Snow Leopard. Sun is adding capabilities to boost the durability and performance of SSDs on ZFS-based operating systems. For example, Sun may add defragmentation capabilities for SSDs, which organizes data in a particular order to enable quicker data access.
    SSDs were not considered ideal for defragmentation because of limited read-and-write capabilities, Wong said. However, Samsung and Sun in July jointly announced an 8G-byte SSD that bumped up durability from 100,000 read-and-write cycles to 500,000. That brings defragmentation in SSDs closer to reality, which could improve its caching and provide quicker access to data. Sun plans to put SSDs into storage products later this year.

  • I can not get imac w/Snow Leopard's address book to sync with ipad 1correctly? I only get about half the contacts?

    I have tried repeatedly to get my address book on my imac w/ snow leopard to sync to my ipad 1 correctly and have failed every time. I only get about 1/3 the number of contacts and they don't all even correlate with the ones on the imac. Like one will have full middle name and the other only the initial. I don't know where itunes is getting these contacts but doesn't match those in my address book. I keep telling itunes to replace the contacts on the ipad with those on my mac but it doesnt work. Can't do it with icloud cause snow leopard doesn't support, it still wants to use the non existant mobile me format. Hope someone can help. I added the all amnually once before but they screwed up when I sync each time.

    Thanks for your response Ernie. You are correct in that whenever you type a series of letters, Address Book (as it always has) finds every single thing with that combination of letters - Names, businesses, adjectives, people's dogs' names, letters in product serial numbers, etc. This is useful for finding a subject on the Web, or finding all documents related to 'iPhoto' on your Mac, etc., but not useful, quick or convenient when trying to find one person to call in your Address Book (which is what people use Address Book for).
    What is DIFFERENT in the Snow Leopard version, is that the ability to type one letter to instantly go to last names with that letter has been removed. Previously, you could easily find 'Bill Tilman' in one second by simply typing 'T'. Now you get every word that starts with T and all the words in the card that have a T in them. If you type out a full name like 'Bill', it finds every person named Bill. No one would ever want to find all their contacts named Bill to call them. You could type out the full last name 'Tilman', but there again you are forced to type out a complete name to do a search. It would actually be quicker to scroll down and find it manually. The ability to type a single letter to find the last name (or business name) of a contact you needed to call, was much quicker and easier than having to type out the entire name.

    It is asking if you want to delete all the iCloud contacts off your Mac (not in iCloud).
    Delete them. If you keep them you will have duplicates when you turn it back on. You will have the copy you kept and another copy when they resync with iCloud

    I have exactly the same problem on my ipad. It is happening on only some contacts but, as with you, when I delete one of the contacts on the ipad, the second ipad contact and the contact on the imac are also deleted. This is even the case when I have differentiated the two contacts on the ipad and can see the one I have deleted on the ipad is not the same one as is then deleted on the imac.

  • About the contact on Lion

    After buying lion the contact looks different.  I want to keep adding the new numbers by group but there is no more grouping function. Please help.

    To get to your groups you need to click the red ribbon up-top. Then it will take you to your groups then you click on a group to input your data.  

  • Hi everyone. New IPad 2 for christmas. Synced via my computer using iTunes. Question about contacts. My contact list only copied to my iPad contacts with email addresses only. The contacts that were transferred only have email address.

    Hi everyone. New iPad 2 for Christmas. When I transferred contact to the iPad, I only got some of my contacts. In the contacts that I did transfer, the contacts only have the email listed. No phone numbers, birthdays,etc. Is it possible to correct this as I would like to have all the same contact lists on my iPhone and iPad?

    Do the numbers still exist in your google contacts?
    Google recently terminated support for new configurations of gmail using Exchange Active Sync for unpaid accounts. In theory, existing configurations will continue to work, but there have been some problem reports.
    I've seen several mentions of the problem you describe in the last few days and so far, they've gone unresolved as far as I can tell. The root cause may be in google's termination of AES support.
    Facebook contact sync may also be a suspect.

    I just got my new i phone 5 s and did all the syncing and backing up for my old iphone 4s and set my 5 up and synced it on itunes.  It synced evrything but the contacts and other minor things. those were the only things that really transfered.  My apps and all my music did not. Tthe thing is when i just went to go manually start dowmloading a few of the songs that i knew i already bought , itunes is making me pay forthem again.  Its not saying instal like it usuall does when you go download something aleady purchased on your itunes account.  I think or thought it might have something to do with the fact that i just changed my apple id name right before i got my new phine but my apps all re-downloaded (manually-no syncing) without making me pay for them again.  i dont want to have to purchase allllll my songs again.  Can someone please help me!!  Itried going back to my old id or signing out of this id and signing in as my old apple id but now it wot even get on that oneits likjeit doesnt exist anymore..   And when i plug my old phone it shows in the itunes everything thats supposed to be there but all that doesnt stay in the itunes when i actually un plug it so when i plug my 5 in to my computer none of the stuff is in the store for me to actually transfer it  I am so good with technology and this has me stumped  please help

    No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
    As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

  • The chapter about php_db4 in the BDB documentation need to be updated

    Hi all,
    I think the chapter about php_db4 in the BerkeleyDB documentation should be updated.
    The first sentence "A PHP 4 extension for this release of Berkeley DB..." gave me the concept that the extension can be ONLY run with PHP 4. I've got the idea that DBXML's php extension can run with PHP 5, so the BDB's extension should work with PHP 5 too.(Perhaps I'm not clever enough, but it did give me the wrong thought.)
    It's too simple in the documentation to let everyone know how to sovle the problems in compile process(and such subjects are hard to be found through search engines).
    I had compiled BDB 4.5 on my Fedora Core 6. When I make the php_db4, it could not finish normally(with some errors). When I added CPPFLAGS=-DHAVE_CXX_STDHEADERS, it solved - this should be written somewhere in the documentation or at lease in the INSTALL file, right?
    In the INSTALL file, it says "PHP can itself be forced to link against libpthread either by manually editing its build files (which some distributions do), or by building it with --with-experimental-zts". But at least I can't find this option in the configure of PHP 5.2.1. Only an option '--enable-maintainer-zts' can be found, and it is noted as 'for code maintainers only'(so it should not be enabled by end-users with less experience, isn't it?). PHP 5.2.1's TSRM is ptheads-enabled by default, I don't know whether I should follow the note about pthreads or not.
    Anyway, I can use the native API of BerkeleyDB in my php code now. Thanks for the developers! Hope the documentation can be updated with more directives, so the new users of php_db4 can use it more smoothly:-)

    Nothing is further from the truth.  Installing updates does not cause hardware issues or hardware to stop working.  Anyone that tells you otherwise is completely ignorant.
    I (and millions of others) have installed iOS updates with little or no adverse affects.  The vast majority of issues that arise during an iOS update can be rectified with basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide.
    There is no legitimate reason to not update the iOS which adds new features and fixes security issues in iOS.

    My other problem is that someone proxied the call to ATT to obtain the unlock so I don't know exactly what happened and if in fact they did agree to unlock or perhaps lied instead or did something else.  But I don't have the account information for ATT since it's a group account so i'm SOL. 
    Well, there you go.  You need to contact AT&T or get the correct information and go to AT&T's website and request the unlock.
    There are no codes, as you've already found out.
    Once the unlock has been approved, AT&T will email you to let you know it has been processed and that the next step is to restore the device.

    On each of the phones you're gonna use a new Apple ID for iCloud: turn off Contacts, Calendars, etc. for iCloud. You'll be prompted to keep the data or delete it from the phone, then turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account...Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then, setup iCloud using the new Apple ID, turn on iMessage & Facetime.
    This will have no affect on the ID you share for iTunes content, & you can continue to do so.

  • How do I transfer the contacts from my Nextel/sprint SIM to a 3G iPhone?

    I am trying to determine if I will buy the Google phone or the iPhone 3G. I have been using a very powerful, military grade phone from Nextel for over three years. It has GPS voice turn by turn (1st negative for the 3G), the ability to track my son, with his phone, PTT, 25 groups and up to 600 contacts in each, etc.
    My biggest concern is how to transfer ALL of my contacts (437 in one group, 392 in another group, and 47 in another), to the 3G.
    Second question: I have been doing a great deal of research on this phone and many of these 3Gs are being sold on EBay for over $700.00. I guess it is because they are "unlocked", and some are described as being unlocked from the factory. If I understand correctly, "unlocked" simply means that the phone is able to use any network available, not just the 3G. But you can buy the SIM over-lay to "unlock" your own 3G, for only $5.00. So why would anyone buy a 3G for over $700.00 if they can unlock their own phone? Does the factory truly "unlock" some phones (BTW, these "factory" phones are sold as "NEW", as stated on EBay)?
    Also, Nextel/sprint are soon switching to the 4G network.
    The reason, and only reason I am separating myself from Nextel, is because they are in bed with sprint. I would not do or buy ANYTHING that has anything to do with sprint.
    I would appreciate some answers to my inquiries, and any other info regarding/about the "iPhone 3G".
    Thank you very much for your time and help with these questions. I truly appreciate it.
    Cheers,
    PM
    PS, is there a manual on this phone, on this site, in PDF format? I have not looked yet, but I might find it. This site is extremely hard to navigate. Many times the buttons need to be clicked multiple times in order for the next page to show up. It seems strange the things that are hapening on this site.

    If the contacts are on your current SIM card, you can simply insert that SIM card into the iPhone 3G and select Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Import SIM Contacts. The iPhone does not store contacts on the SIM card (they are stored in the flash memory) but it can import them. Alternatively, if they are on your computer, sync from them there (that's normally how contacts are managed, synced with Outlook/Address Book).
    This is not the place to discuss unofficially unlocked iPhones. All iPhones sold in the US are carrier-locked to AT&T. In some countries (Italy, Hong Kong, Belguim, for example), iPhones can be officially unlocked by the carrier. The phones on eBay are not these, they are hacked, and have not warranty coverage.
    Manual is here:

  • How can I get the contact book to work?

    I cannot get the contact book to save any contacts.  I have to enter each one each time.
      Which given that I have to enter it in the contact book and cannot enter just the e-mail address, is really really irritating.  The next time I open the contact book after sending the e-mail, there are no contacts.

    Hi there.
    By chance, I too have the readability bookmarklet installed (but I don't use it that much, to be honest), and it works ok for me. It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

  • I've just came on board from Andriod and need massive help with the Contacts application any one out there willing to help the 'noob'?

    I had the folks at the store port over all of my contacts from my old
    ratty Andriod phone to my new shiny iPhone.
    however all 200+ of my contacts sort of "shook" out,
    meaning say John Smith, on my old phone,
    had in my contacts the following:
    John Smith
    123 Main St. Anytown, Anystate USA
    555-826-4879 home
    555-799-4247 cell
    [email protected]
    johnsmith@facebook
    all nice and neat on my andriod but when it ported over
    all that information was just scattered all over my contacts sort of like:
    john smith, smith john
    john smith 123 main st. etc.
    johhn smith home 555 etc.
    john smith cell 555 etc.
    john smith johnsmith@ etc.
    etc.
    so for all those 200+ contacts in my phone, I've got a zillion of them now...
    so I'd like to get this all back in order before I and Siri explode.
    I know nothing, and I know even less about outlook and the sort.
    But I do know I am in Dire need of help with this... I figured that eveything else
    involving iphones and apple in general was supposed to be cake but it seems
    like this is the only thing that isn't cake at all... unless, I'm just a right idiot. (which is possible, hence spelling and grammatical issues).

    I believe I've tried to sync it with google, but it didn't seem to take
    muchless take my calender. it seems to favor my facebook calender
    more over my google calender, but Siri seems to be helping me re-write
    it...but that's not the game here, it's the contacts. I've tried to export
    the cvp (??) list and import it into my iTunes account. However, It only
    doubled my issue because it didn't over write my existing contacts.

  • How do I automatically sync outlook contacts to iphone contacts? My email and calendar does this but even though in settings I have the contacts ON it does not.

    How do I get my outlook contacts to automatically sync to my iphone 5? In settings I have it set up to do so BUT it does not. My email and calendar updates every 1/2 hour but I can't get my contacts to auto update. Please advise.

    Start with your finger at the bottom of the screen (about even with the home button) and swipe in an upward motion.  There should be a row of icons at the top of a grey field.  if the quarter-moon icon is bright white, tap it.  If it was (and still is) dark, take the iPhone in to be evaluated by a qualified technician.
