Can't create a Contact from a recent call on iPhon...

Hi Folks,
I just made a phone call on my iPhone 4 (IOS 7.12) and want to add the called number to "Contacts". It shows on the "recent" tab, but there the only option offered is to "Block", "Cancel" or add the number to favorites! I have added them to favorites, but can't create a profile for this number and add a name to it.
I can't add this person to my Skype Contacts which is rather mornic. But then again, SKype was acquired by Microsoft.
Has anyone figure this out? I have 2 engineering degrees and developed software with user interfaces. But this one got my stumped.

yep . . . facing the same problem and sadly, unfortunately representing the huge void of intelligence one of the world's largest company and operating at the forefront of advanced communucation technology. i am fairly confident and seem to recall much written about how this happens when companies get so large and have so much going on and with lots of employer turn over at all levels "things" get lost, overlooked, ignored due to the combination of the afformentioned and overall lack of intelligence (leadership, setting the goals and directions) and while self percieved as the opposite.

Can't create new contacts from email message

I get an email message that has a phone number in it and of course an email address. I want to create a new contact. I hold down on the phone number and a dialog appears asking if I want to add to contacts. I select it and press Create New Contact. I type in a name. I click Done. The dialog disappears. I go to Contacts and there is no entry. Is this supposed to work?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

This solved it. Don't know why. Shouldn't be like this. When I searched for it, the file appeared. Not only it it appear but my three other attempts appeared as well. All four of them are in Contacts. That's a bit wacked I think.
Thanks very much.
Wait it gets better. I went back to the email. Clicked the email address to save it. Selected Add to existing contact. Found the contact. Added it. Click Done, and the name is gone again from the Conatcts directory. Used the search function again, and it reappeared.
But there's more. Left the phone app. Came back to it and the name is gone again. Apparently every time I want this name I have to add it by searching in Spotlight, and of course it's not updating iCloud so it's never going to get back to my computer.

I can't save my contacts through the recent call list or through a message !!! Help!

I can't save a number from like my messages when a number text me that I don't have on my phone and I can't save it through the recent call list either. I have to manually do it from my contacts! Help!! Please

The things is, I have access to all the severs with all the permissions.
I don't have that option. But I tried something new. I've put all the files in one big folder on my desktop,. It seems to work that way. It's weird cause I don't have that problem with the other adobe apps.
Thank you.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Any contacts that are in iCloud will be restored to your phone when you sign back into iCloud and enable iCloud syncing.

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.

You can try contacting the support staff for the stores at http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html but reportedly, if they grant that it is a one time only event.

How can i get my contacts from itunes to my phone if my usb slot on my laptop is broke?

basically im looking to get my contacts from my itunes on my old laptop onto my new phone but the usb slot on the laptop is broke so i cant connect to itunes is there any way to get the contacts without connecting the phone to the laptop or is there another way to connect the phone to the laptop??

Hello Joe,
Congratulations on your new iPhone 5! If you do not have a working USB connection on your laptop, you can use iCloud to transfer contacts from your computer to your iPhone:
You can create and edit your contacts by using the Contacts app on iCloud.com from a Mac or Windows web browser. Changes you make are automatically pushed to your iOS devices and computers where you set up iCloud for Contacts. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, changes are pushed to the Contacts app. On your Mac, changes are pushed to Contacts (or Address Book in OS X v10.7.5), and on your Windows computer, changes are pushed to Microsoft Outlook. No matter which device you use to edit your contacts, the changes are updated everywhere, so you never have to connect your iOS device to your computer to keep your contacts current.
Access iCloud Contacts from a web browser
Go to icloud.com/#contacts and sign in using your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).
You can find more information about iCloud and Contacts at the following help article:
iCloud Help - Contacts overview

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

I want to b able to delete from my recent call list and set certain contacts to no ring, when is that software update coming?

I want to b able to delete from my recent call list and set certain contacts to no ring, when is that software update coming?

Can you not now set a silent ringtone for an individual contact? I can by opening the contact and changing the ringtone. Only prerequisite is to download or make a silent ringtone (Google should provide any information you need) and sync it to your iPhone.

Everything that you have checked in your icloud settings will be shared between devices using the same Apple ID. If you don't want icloud to share that information, then simply turn off that process under settings > icloud

How can I prevent personal contacts from syncing with Exchange corporate email?

I have my phone synching with my work Exchange server over ActiveSync, and have 2 personal email accounts (POP and IMAP). The 2 personal accounts are also configured in Outlook 2010 on my home computer. Itunes is also installed on this computer.
I want my contacts from my 2 personal accounts to sync to my phone (which is working), but not have them sync to my work account (this part is not working the way I want). I now have all my personal contacts uploaded to my work account. How can I remove the contacts from my work account without removing them from my phone?

Unless you are in the same household, the agreement for Mountain Lion does not allow the setup you have now.
You need to spend another US$30 and buy an additional copy and get that other MacBook on its own unique Apple_ID.

I have updated from IPhone 4 to IPhone4S - how can I move my contacts from one to another?

I have updated from IPhone 4 to Iphone 4S - how can I move my contacts from previous phone to IPhone 4S?

Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer, which is selected under the Info tab for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Sync your iPhone 4S with the same address book app on your computer as you were syncing the iPhone 4 with.
