"Add to contacts" from Messages doesn't work with me

Hello everyone,
When I receive a phone number by text, and I want to save it in my contacts, how do i proceed?
Here's what I'm doing : long press on the phone number, select "add to contacts", select "create new contact", I enter first name and last name, but the phone number doesnt appear anywhere... I tap "Done" , but when I chech the contact details, there is no phone numbers, just the empty contact I created...
What am i doing wrong?
I have an iPhone 5S on iOs 7.0.2 ...
Thanks!

Yes, I just noticed this issue too. My friend sent me his address in a text, and I tapped on it and did "Add to Existing Contact" and selected him from the list and nothing happened. I tried a few times, and then once when I tried manually entering it, like 6 copies of the same address suddenly showed up. I deleted all but one, and then it didn't display an address anymore, even though I left one intact. I tried adding his address to a different contact using the same method and that worked, so I had to delete my contact and re-add his information fresh. Adding the address using the automatic URL in text worked after that. Ridiculous.

Add new contact from Recent no longer working

I was in the process of adding a contact from my Recent Calls list. Another call came in, so I took it. When I went back to complete the process, the contact add screen was gone.
Now, after multiple shutdowns and restarts of the phone, I can't add a contact from my recents list. It's as if partially entered screen is lurking in the background, and until I complete it, it won't give me a new screen to fill out for another number. (This is my interpretation of the issue.)
Anyway, when I click on the Create New Contact or Add to Existing Contact buttons after hitting the arrow to the right of the number in the list, nothing happens. The text and call buttons still work.
How can I get the phone to "release" the partial data, if that's the issue, and start giving me the screen to enter the contact info?

Try adding a contact from another app, like Maps or email yourself a vCard.
If that doesn't work, you'll need to restore the iPhone from backup or setup as a new device.

Messages doesn't work with AIM

I've been trying out the beta. Messages isn't working with AIM (will not connect and stubbornly remains Offline). It seems to work fine with text chat with other Messages users and no problems with FaceTime either. But I have some friends on AIM I like to chat with and also a couple of people I sometimes help via screen sharing and it is annoying not to be able to get the AIM part to connect.

Yes, enabling and disabling the AIM account (sometimes it takes doing it a few times) seems to work. And I found elsewhere that opening activity monitor and killing off the imagent process (which then automatically relaunches) seems to work as well. Those workarounds are not permanent solutions for me though. As soon as the iMac is either restarted or shut down and then turned back on... Messages seems to be right back at square one with not being able to connect to AIM unless I use the workaround again. I just hope Apple can figure out what is going on and fix the app before it goes final.

Synchronisation of photos from Aperture doesn't work with iPad4 and Apple TV

IPad4 with IOS 7.1.1
ITunes 11.1.5
Doesn't work with Aperture!
I couldn't synchronise my albums after upgrading Aperture to the latest software version, both for Apple TV and iPad2/iPad4.
Recovery of Aperture Mediathek doesn't help.

Could there be a relationship with the fact tha wifi syncing with itunes doesn't work too?
Also: I installed vlc remote last week which also gave connection problems. After manual input of ip adress and port it worked fine. Still I don't understand why. I have just a regular home network. Moreover apple remote combined with itunes just doesn't work still.
Any hints?

Nokia Messaging doesn't work with vanity domains

Nokia Messaging's "simplified" setup means I can't get it to work with my vanity domain. I can't get it to ask me what server it should use, it just complains that it can't connect - which isn't very surprising when it doesn't give me any opportunity to tell it which server to use.
I have emails from my domian forwarded to my Gmail account. The Gmail account itself works fine with Nokia Messaging, because the automatic setup works. The problem is that I want the reply address to be [email protected], not [email protected] Entering [email protected] as the address means Nokia Messaging insists on trying for some non-existent mail server for mydomain.com and doesn't give me the opportunity to enter the details for Gmail.
Does anybody know of a way to enter the details manually?
Assuming it's not possible to enter the details directly, not only is this a major problem for people who forward mail from their vanity domians, but it's potentially a serious security problem too. In its attempts to find the right server, Nokia Messaging must be connecting to some mail server somewhere and trying to log in with my username and password. Who knows what server it decided to try? Who knows who now has my login information? It's bad enough that Nokia store your login credentials, but it's just plain dangerous that they think it's OK to send them to random servers on the internet as they try to find the right one.
Why isn't there an "advanced" option so I can just set it up myself? Why, even after it has failed to connect, can't I just enter the required details myself?
Seriously Nokia, it doesn't take a genius to work out that if you never ask for the right server to connect to, your service is not going to work for anything but the most straightforward cases. You can't guess it right every time and when you try and guess you leak people's login credentialsto who-knows-who.

"Reply-to" address should be a feature of Nokia Messaging. I too have my work email forwarded to gmail to be able to use it with Nokia Messaging.
I have requested this feature since the app was on beta. and i'm doing it now again.
Maybe if we all request it they will take it seriously, but here is the wrong place to do it.
All feedback about Nokia Messaging should be written to: [email protected]
Last time I wrote to that email they replied asking for more details about what i was requesting. I'm not sure if they will do it or not, but at least their questions made me feel they would.
Thank you for clicking on the Green button with the white Star for Kudos!!

The character count when sending a message doesn't work with the new iOS 5.

Hi,
After I upgraded to the new iOS 5, the message counter no longer appears. I've gone into the settings to verify that it is turned on. I've turned it off and then back on. I've rebooted the phone, but to no avail. Has anyone else encountered this new "feature"?
Thanks,
Allan

The only way I can get character count back is to disable both iMessage and MMS. I agree it is annoying. iMessage only works between iOS 5 devices, and since the whole world does not use Apple products, it's not like I still won't be sending plain old SMS text messages to people. If you type more then the SMS character limit, AT&T still happily sends it, their servers just truncate it, so the character count feature is hardly an outdated or pointless feature.
I have been sending fewer and fewer texts though anyway, and using email instead. but this just pushes me further away from texting. Most of my work texts are to blackberry users, so no iMessaging with them, but having to go back and forth into settings to enable/disable iMessage means I will likely just leave iMessage off all the time anyway.

i need help

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.

E72 - Contacts quick search doesn't work correctly

Hello!
I have over 1,500 contacts in Outlook and has successfully synchronized them with Nokia E72 (last firmware). But quick search in Contacts application simply doesn't work - I can find only few contacts - others just dissapear when I start typing correct letters.
I tried to kill the process of this app and restart Contacts. Voila, it works correctly! But then in 5 min. I tried again and got just the same problem.
Desktop quick search doesn't work too.
I've already tried to reload all the contacts in my phone - no results.
What would you advise to solve that problem?
Thanks in advance.

The E72 Is from the most point of views a complete and very good phone.
But this bug drives me crazy!
Zam72 is completely spot on: Pathetic, Killer Feature, frustrating.
I've done som more testing:
Started with a quick search from home screen, found the contact I was lookng for.
Made a Mail for exchange sync. Same search, no hits. (thought I found the issue...)
Reboot, speed search work again.
New Mfe sync, search still works, repeated a couple of times, still ok.
Two hours later: Search still works
New mfe sync, search once again goes blank!
Now i'm noticing that when I open the contacts, I can browse the contacts, but if i enter a letter it first appears, but directly disapears making search impossible.
I'M NOT ABLE TO USE THIS PHONES CONTACTS!!!!!!
I believe this is related to Mfe synchronizations, but it's a random issue.
Yes, I've tried a *#7370# with no luck.
I'm not using PC-suite sync at all (no conflicts)
I'm not running other programs simultaniously.
I feel like a Beta tester!

Why Position:Relative from CSS doesn't work at Safari 5.03?

If you watch my web page: http://clubdeleonesst.tk
I designed a ComboBox and have some problems with position relative. I used jQuery to create it, you could watch the original example here:
http://www.marghoobsuleman.com/jquery-image-dropdown
And I have been watching that the transparency from Flash doesn't work too. I hope you can solve these bugs.

The "disappearing" affect you describe is not normal. You may need to reinstall Safari.
First, try removing the Apple cookies from your Safari Preferences>Security>Cookies panel. Also, go to your Safari Menu and Empty cache. Then try to log-on to Apple Discussions.
Also, regarding the "disappearing" effect, try Safari from another User Account.
Here is guidance from Apple on how to set up the account. You can ignore step 7 in the article.
Also, on the system preference>Accounts panel, click on "log-in" options. There, select "fast user switching". This allows you to go back and forth between user accounts via an icon in your Menu Bar at the top of the computer screen.
Log-on to the new account and start Safari. If Safari is stable in the new account, then your problem is specific to your regular user account. Otherwise, similar response means a system-wide problem.
Post back with results.

How do I add a contact from the same company to my address book?

How do I add a contact from the same company to my address book? I do not want to re-type all of the information. Thanks for your help.

Any card in your address book can be duplicated. Select the card within the Name column, and use the Edit > Copy menu item followed by the Edit > Paste menu item. Then you can update the card copy and only change the name/email/phone fields as needed.

Iam from Yemen we have CDMA carrier called Yemen mobile I bought an iPad from the US CDMA works with Verizon when I got to Yemen doesn't work with the carrier Yemen mobile and both carriers verizon and Yemen mobile work by the CDMA system don't know whey

Iam from Yemen we have CDMA carrier called Yemen mobile I bought an iPad from the US CDMA works with Verizon when I got to Yemen doesn't work with the carrier Yemen mobile and both carriers verizon and Yemen mobile work by the CDMA system don't know whey can anyone help me please..

A Verizon-model iPad can only work on CDMA with Verizon. You cannot use it with any other carrier. Apple, to my knowledge, has not released the iPad in Yemen, so there is no iPad you can use with any carrier there that works only on CDMA. You would need to find a GSM carrier and then get an unlocked GSM iPad.
Regards.

I have upgraded Acrobat Standard from version 8 through time until I am currently using version X, which doesn't work with Office 2013. Can I upgrade to version Standard XI?

Over the years I have upgraded Acrobat Standard from version 8 to currently working with version X.
However, since getting a new laptop it doesn't work with Office 2013.
Can I upgrade to Standard XI?

Upgrade pricing now only applies to version 9 and X. So if you have a retail serial number for X, you should be able to upgrade. (Or consider subscription).

I have 3 macs. 2 are Lion, 1 I left Snow leopard so I can access data from my old Quicken Application that doesn't work with Lion. If I move to iCloud, will I no longer be able to access my MobileMe email on the Snow Leopard mac?

What version of word do you have? The TS3938 sounds like it's a PowerPC app- written for an old architecture that is no longer supported in Lion. If this is the case, your files are fine- you just need a newer version of word that will run in Lion in order to open them. The newest version (2011) should be readily available anywhere, and has worked fine for me ever since I switched to Lion on release day....
