Can't add new address in 'contacts'

Hi,
As small, yet annoying problem: when I try to add a new contact to my contacts list all the text fields work fine, with one exception: filling in the address of the new contact simply doesn't work. The vertical bar fails to appear and nothing can be filled in. With older, existing contacts the already present addresses can be edited, this works as it should. Of course I've tried restarting, but this has no effect.  I've had this annoying problem since a couple of months now, the latest IOS upgrades/updates didn't change this.
So it's only the address text field that is dysfunctional for me...
My iPad 3 retina - IOS8.1.3 - has no further issues whatsoever
Any suggestions?

    Hi tizac,
    You will want to add them to your Contacts. 
    There's a "+" button at the bottom of the contact list on the left to add a contact.
    If you need to add the email address or phone number to an existing contact, there's an Edit button at the bottom of the contact info (on the right).
    Once you have the contact email address or phone number you want to message to, scroll all the way down to the bottom of their information and there are options to:
    Send Message               FaceTime
    Share Contact             Add to Favorites
    Of course choose "Send Message" to send an iMessage to them and you will start a new chat.  You will be given the options of how to contact them, via phone number (if they are on an iPhone) or email (if they are on an iPod touch or iPad).   They do need to be signed up for iMessage or it won't allow you to send.

  • Can't "add new address"

    8 Gb iPhone v.1.1.2 Mac OS 10.4.10 iTunes 7.4.2
    I'm having a problem with adding physical addresses to my contacts. In general, I sync my contacts via a group in address book. I noticed the issue when I was unable to access one of my contacts after a sync. What happened was that a physical street address was added to the contact in Address book, then synced to the phone. When I attempted to then call the contact some days later, upon pressing the contact to place the call, my phone would just jump back to the "home screen". After some investigation, I found that if I removed the street address from the contact in Address book, resync, I could then call the contact.
    Digging deeper, I then accessed the particular contact via the iPhone, and tried to add the street address directly to the contact on the phone itself. When I edit the contact, then press the "Add new Address" button, again, my iPhone just returns to the home screen.
    I then wondered if it was just this "poison" contact, or others as well. I've found that problem occurs in trying to add a street address to ANY existing contact on my phone, as well as any contact I add via address boot that has a street address. Upon pressing the "Add new Address" button, my iPhone just returns to the home screen.
    A search of the apple discussions and google found no hints other than a reboot or soft reset, which I've tried. I'm still experiencing the same issues. Any suggestions here before I have to slough it over to a "genius" at an apple store, which isn't very close or convenient?
    Regards and Happy Holidays.

    Upgraded. Still having the same issue. What was that upgrade supposed to accomplish? iPhone software is still the same (latest version) and I still cannot add a physical address to any contact on my phone - via the phone GUI or importing / syncing from address book. Also, any contact that has a physical (street) address, I am unable to call because once selected in the phone UI, the UI just returns to the "home" screen as if I pressed the home button.

  • Can't add new Address Book entries from Mail

    I can no longer add new contacts to the Address Book directly from Mail. I can go through the motions (right clicking on an email address brings up the appropriate options), but no new entry shows up in the Address Book. When I try to repeat the action, I can no longer "add" the entry, but instead it gives me the option of finding that entry. When I do that, it opens up the Address Book, but just defaults to the first entry. If I close and reopen Mail, it defaults back to the option of adding the entry again (as opposed to 'finding' it). Has anyone else seen this? (FYI, I can manually add entries to the Address Book just fine.)

    This hasn't worked since I did the new system install.
    That does not change my advice, whether you take it is up to you.

  • Can't add new MAC address to MAC ACL on Airport Express

    Hi,
    I just recently got a new iPhone 3GS. When I logged into my Airport Express to add it's MAC address to the ACL I found that the + icon was greyed out. I can modify old MAC addresses in the list and delete addresses, but I can't add new ones. Anyone have any idea why this might be the case. It seems like I can modify all other settings without any problems. I restarted the basestation, no help. I also even reset the password just incase, as you might expect that didn't help either. Any thoughts? Thanks.
    Setup:
    WDS with 2 other access points
    Mac Address Access Control set to "Local"

    If you are configuring the router as MGCP, you do not enter the mac address, just the router name.

  • Contacts. Can't add new contacts after upgrading to Mtn Lion from Snow Leopard.

    I can't add new contacts after upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain last week.  I do not use iCloud.  Any suggestions?

    Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    First, empty the Trash.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it, then drag or copy it — do not type — into the Terminal window:
    find . $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl \) 2> /dev/null | wc -l
    Press return. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "35." Please post it in a reply.

  • When I create a new address in Contacts the country is automatically coming in as Netherlands - though I'm using the phone in USA. Can't find how to change country default.

  • Can't add new bookmarks

    Just recently I am unable to add new bookmarks. All my old ones are there, I just can't add new ones. Usually when I click "bookmark this page" a small black window pops up and allows me to determine which folder i'm going to save the page in, but the widow now doesn't even show up. The only page I CAN bookmark and this window shows up is on yahoo's homepage which made me notice something. There is a star in the address bar that gets filled in blue only when i'm on yahoo. Every other page, it becomes colorless. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with this or not though

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • How can I add new content in iDVD to a DVD-RW disc which has ample remaining free space? After preparing the new video for burning and clicking on Burn to iDVD, I get a window saying the disc's already recorded and that I can either Erase or Eject.

    How can I add new content in iDVD to a DVD-RW disc with a video previously successfully recorded on it? (The disc has ample remaining free space.)
    After preparing the new video for burning and clicking in the File menu on Burn to iDVD, I get a window saying the disc's already recorded and that I can either Erase or Eject. My assumption has been that iDVD would automatically find the free space and continue with the new recording from there. I'd be grateful if anyone can shine light on this.

    There are, but not with a DVD written as a movie disk. It must be closed when completed, or it doesn't work.
    Apple's built in Burn utility also automatically closes any data CD, DVD or Blu-ray disk you burn. Doesn't matter how much space is unused, you can't use it. You'd have to use a more advanced disk creation app, such as Toast Titanium. I then have the option of choosing to write the data as a session:
    I can keep doing this until the disk is full. If I've written five sessions to the disk, when I put it in the drive, five CD/DVD icons will appear on the desktop since the OS will treat each session as if they are separate physical disks. At any point you choose Write Disk when writing a group of data, that means you're closing the disk, and again can't add anything after that. So if I had written two sessions, and the third was Write Disk, it's over. I can't put anything else on that disk.

  • My bookmarks have disappeared and I can't add new bookmarks.

    All my bookmarks have disappeared, including the defaults on the toolbar of most visited, etc. I can't add new bookmarks either. I have tried all the Help Topics on lost bookmarks. I tried restoring bookmark backups, but the backup from the date I lost bookmarks says "unable to process backup file." All the later dates will load, but they have no bookmarks saved in them. All of the other Help Topic attempts went fine but did not solve the problem.

    What I would say is that if you have any bookmarks at all at present that you make a manual backup of them, and then continue to make manual backups as any recovery efforts proceed.
    * see [[Backing up and restoring bookmarks]]
    There is a possibility that you had corrupt files, and may then have inadvertently overwritten any files that may have contained bookmarks. It is a good idea to make manual backups, for cases where the auto backups do not. work as expected.
    If you have already followed the instructions carefully about [[lost bookmarks]] and without resolving the situation, there may not be much you can do about your personal bookmarks. If they are important and you are willing to try there may be a possibility using file recovery software, &/or sqlite editors that something could be salvaged, but not something I can advise on, I am not currently a Mac user.
    The default bookmarks should be fairly easy to restore. You can probably also start the bookmarks working again. Trying the simplest options first:
    # work from [safe mode]
    #* at this stage when you see the first dialogue window with options do not make changes, press the continue button
    # use the customise / customize option from the toolbars and '''reset defaults'''
    #* Mac may differ from my Windows XP, I can right click bookmarks, or use the tools menu see [[How do I customize the toolbars?]]
    # if that has failed to resolve the problem go back to safe mode as in step 1 but this time use reset toolbars and controls.
    By now you should have the default bookmarks back and maybe the bookmarks work and will save new bookmarks, try it whilst still in safe mode, before going back to try in ordinary mode. If it works in safe mode but not in ordinary mode you probably have some add-on managing to cause problems
    If you still have problems and bookmarks will not save see [[bookmarks not saved]] that probably indicates corrupt places.sqlite &/or localstore.rdf the linked article explains how to find and delete them.

  • Recent convert to Apple. Previously, I backed up my family pictures from PC to an external hard drive,  a WD MyBook 3T. I can view the pics on my Macbook Pro, but I can't add new pictures. I'm sure this is a format issue, any easy way to correct it?

    If you were going to be reading and writing to a NTFS System Partition, you might have to worry about the instability messing up the operating system.  However, you are reading/writing from a non system, backup device so you don't have to worry about screwing up an operating system.
    I would still temporarily move my data to another device and reformat the drive for Mac OS X Extended.
