Add a contact to iPhone 6

When I enter a phone number, then try to add the name, the keyboard does not open. What am I doing wrong?

Are you using Google's 2-step verification? If so you need to use an application-specific password rather than the normal password: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/1173270?hl=en

Force iPhone to put newly added contacts under iPhone contact group

I want to be able to have my iphone put a newly added contact under my iphone contacts and not all contacts. Is there a way to force iphone to do this? I am using mobile me, think I remember hearing someone mention a setting in itunes for this. Don't have this option with mobile me.
Thanks,
Toby

I agree with Oregon Farmer. All Contacts contain all contacts from every created group (i.e. "iPhone contacts"), so once you add a contact into "iPhone Contacts", the same info is placed in the "All Contacts" group. Sort of like "Music" in library and playlists.
There used to be an option on the iTunes, but from this website, it suggests that option was for the original iPhone http://www.apple.com/mobileme/setup/iphone/mac.html
I was browsing around looking for a way to add a new contact (i.e. from my recent calls list) directly into the "iPhone Contacts", rather than it going automatically only into the "All Contacts" list. If anyone has an idea, I'd appreciate it. I'm also using Mobileme.

I have installed iOS7 on my iPhone4. I am able to add/edit contacts by clicking the "contact" icon. But when I am trying to do the same after clicking the "phone" icon, it is not displaying the keypad. I believe it is a bug in iOS7. Please confirm. iPhone

Hello jayanand,
You may need to force close all open apps, then restart the phone. If necessary, you may need to reset the phone after that.

I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago avaiable. Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore which i assume will literally delete any new contacts added...?

I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I recently sold my macbook air and also my mac book pro, so have no recent backups avaiable. I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago available on an external hdd as a time machine backup. Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore? The reason i wish to do this is because in the update i didnt lose any messages, so all of the people i have met and networked with since that last update those many months ago, i have in my messages listings. They are all unidentified numbers at present but over time i will be able to work through the messages and based on the conversation recall who each was with. Also, yesterday, some two weeks after the update had left my contacts list entirely empty... a vast majority just reappeard, though all of them are without any phone numbers, all just emails or facebook contacts. This is the work of facebook not mac/ios6 isnt it...? Any help here would be greatly apprecaited. I am about 2 days from flying to canada and having those contacts would make life a lot easier.

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

My wife and I share one itunes account with separate libraries. When I sync her iphone in her library, it adds all of my iphone contacts to her contact list. How can we void this?

How can I add a contact to a group on my iPad Air or IPhone 6?

I'm away from my computer for a while and was trying to add a contact to a group on my iPad/iPhone. I don't want to download another app to handle this simple task. All my mobile devices are up-to-date and have plenty of memory. I tried logging into iCloud on a non-Safari browser but the contact list wouldn't download so I could work on it. Did I miss a link somewhere inside of the Contact edit where I could just add to a group? Thanks for any help you can give me.

You are not doing anything wrong. The feature that you need is totally lacking in the built in Mail app on the iPad.
There are a couple of third party mail apps that will let you do this ... MailShot and Group Email with Attachments. You can check them out in the App Store.

How can I add a contact to a group on my iPhone?

How do I add a contact to an existing group on my iPhone?

Should not be a problem. If you have set up your
groups in Address Book, they will sync over to your
iPhone. If you view All Contacts, you should have a
tab in the upper left corner which shows Groups. You
hit that, it takes you back to your Group List. Pick
the Group you want to view and this takes you to a
list of contacts within that group. Then in the
upper right corner hit the + key and add your
contact. When you sync back up, your contact should
appear in your Address Book under all Contacts and
under the assigned group.
Hope this helps.

This only solves half the problem. If you have created a NEW contact from a Google Map lookup, you cannot assign it to a group on the iPhone. You have to wait until you sync back up with Address Book, assign that contact to a group, then sync again. I have pulled a lot of new contacts through the Google Map function (which is amazing BTW) but I have yet to find a way to assign the new contact to a group. Any ideas?

In the Contacts app, select "Groups" in the upper left hand corner.
Then select all the groups that are desired to be displayed.
Select Done.
Now search for the contact(s) in question. Do they appear now?

Syncing issues with Outlook when I add a contact to my iphone

I'm using the icloud to sync my calendar and contacts to my iphones and Outlook. Everything seems to be working perfect except one thing. When I add a contact to my phone it will not show up on my husbands phone or Outlook. I have checked my defaults and it apears to be se correctly. Can anyone please help?

Hmmmm....But even when I do that, the two playlists go into the general music file and mix together. So I don't understand the point of a playlist if it all just gets thrown into the general mix. Seems like if you create a playlist, it should be separate--otherwise, what's the point? Or maybe I'm missing the point. Sigh...

thank you in advance.

Your suggestion worked perfectly. I can't believe there is nothing in any of the instructions I have seen online at the Yahoo and Apple help sites about the making sure the right default account is checked. I don't think I was even aware there was a "default account" setting. Thank you so much.

I can't get a keyboard to show when I try to add a contact on my iPhone 5s

Can I add a contact to the desktop of my iPhone 4s

Sometimes I'm in a hurry and need to reach a contact fast. Siri is sometimes slow and often just doesn't work for me. If I could add the contact to the desktop?..opening screen? whatever it's called, It would be much faster.
Thanks,
Paul

Put the contact in the Favorites page in the phone. That way it is only a couple of clicks. I am not aware of there being a way to do this on the iPhone.

Are you using a PC or a Mac?
What application are the contacts in on your laptop?

HT4137 I purchased the iPhone 5 switched from iPhone 4S, how come if I delete a contact or add on my old iPhone it shows it on my new iPhone? How can I make it stop I'm planning on someone else using my old device

I transferred from an iPhone 4S to an iPhone 5, everything switched but it seems to be synced to my old phone. Info I delete or add a contact or music it will then do the same on my new phone. A family member will be using my old phone , how do I get it to stop syncing what I do?

If you have everything that you need on your iPhone 5 then do this to the iphone 4.
Go to settings - general - reset - erase all contents and settings - this will wipe your phone clean.
Then you can give it to your family member for use.
