Can't "Quick Find" Contacts Anymore After Deleting Categories

A few days ago, I deleted a few of the categories I used for the contact database on my device (Work, Restaurants, etc). Now, when I look to send an email or call one of those contacts that used to be in a deleted category, I can't use the "quick find" (or "quick fill," not sure what Bberry calls it) to type the first few letters of the person's name. I can still find them if I go to my address book and scroll far enough to find the name, and then send a message or call, but only then.
How can I fix this so contacts that used to be in "Work" or "Restaurants" pop up once again just by typing the first few letters?
Been a happy Bberry 8330 Sprint Curve user for a year, until it froze this morning (different post/thread). Found this forum, thought I'd post this question too. Thanks!

Hi and welcome to the forums!
A couple of things to try. First make sure you are not accidentally filtering your contacts. Clear any check boxes in your contacts-filter option. Second, if that doesn't work try pulling the battery out with the device ON. Wait about a minute and put the battery back in. Let the BB completely restart and see if that doesn't help. Clears out the memory and refreshes the BB; like rebooting your pc. When you have anomalous behavior in your BB a battery pull often helps to clear it up too.
Happy to have you here and let us know how it goes!

Adding a new contact anymore after the IOS5 upgrade!

I can not add a new contact anymore after the IOS5 upgrade - the " + " sign is gone? - how can this be fixed?

I think cpohlink has made a good observation. The same issue- no plus sign- is showing up in both calanders and contacts for some people. I have the plus sign on both apps, and do not have the problem at all. So what is the difference?
I have i cloud turned off for everything but find my phone. And i am not synced to any external calander or contact list except my phone.
Change your cloud settings to off, and see if that does it. Also, think about what other clalanders/ contact lists you might be syncing with. If they ae considered the 'master' then that may make the pad pad a slave, and unable to add entries.
Related question, can you edit entries, or is that blocked as well?

Contacts reappear after deleting them (Exchange)!?

Hello everyone,
I'm not entirely sure if the following problem only occurred after upgrading to Yosemite or if it was there before.
However, I recently noticed "contacts" in the Mac contacts app that I didn't save there. They are just email addresses shown as such, without a name or anything.
Those where mostly people I've sent mails to, but didn't bother to save them as an actual contact. Nevertheless, that also happened with email addresses that where already linked to a proper contact. This for example confused FaceTime or Mail. Those apps where not able anymore to relate the mail addresses to the actual contact. After deleting those strange contacts everything was fine for some time, but now they keep coming back. Every time I delete them they show up again a day or two later. I have no idea what triggers that.
I've got two accounts synced with my address book. One being my iCloud account the other one an university Exchange account. Furthermore those contacts don't show up on my iPhone. I also noted that I don't see these contacts when I just choose the iCloud contacts in my address book. So I guess it must have something to do with the Exchange contacts!? I already deleted the account twice and also deleted the relevant library files as well as recent recipients from mail. Still they keep coming back. It's always the same couple of addresses and they don't really have something in common. At least nothing I can see.
It's really annoying. I should mention that I keep the exchange contacts in sync because I can then easily search for people's mail addresses from my university. Furthermore, as far as I know I shouldn't be able to create new contacts on that Exchange account and the contacts in question are not university mail addresses.
Has anyone experienced similar problems or does anyone know where the contacts app pulls those contacts from?
Thank you for your help

Go to iMessages and Sign out fo the Apple ID and sign in with a unique one for each phone.
You should not share Apple IDs for this exact reason.

How can you get a calendar back after deleting it

How can you get a calendar back after deleting it

You will have to restore the device from a backup on icloud. (this assumes you have backups turned on in settings>icloud)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

When can an email address be reactivated after deleted from another acount?

May I know when can an email address be reactivated after deleted from another acount?
I am eagar to register an email address, let's say "[email protected]"
I created this address as an alias email in my original Apple ID + iCloud account. But that is not what I want.
So I deleted the alias email.
Register an new Apple ID.
And then re-register the icloud email address "[email protected]" via the new Apple ID
But was being rejected. And the reason was that, the address has already be picked up.
So I would like to know when can an email address be reactivated after deleted from another account.
Please Help !!

You can't do what you want.
Email aliases are forever tied to the account that created them, cannot be moved to another account, and cannot be made into a standalone account.

Can't search for words anymore after saving PDFs in Preview

Hi everyone,
I would love to use Preview for my day-to-day use of previewing PDFs + highlighting + setting annotations. However, once I have saved the pdf with Preview I can not search for words anymore. If I search for one letter only, I would get cryptic hits like "7;%! 2%8%P%8!".
I am not sure, but I guess when preview saves the pdf using a Quartz PDF context, something happens with the index, or the underlying the font structuring.
Does anyone have had experience with these kinds of troubles?
Thanks in advance,
Heinrich

Hi, thanks for answering quickly, and the heads up on that other thread.
It undoubtedly has to do with the annotations or mark ups (the last, in my case).
In the linked-to thread they end by suggesting that it's because it's has "commenting not allowed" when you see it
using Adobe Reader, File > Properties > Security says Commenting: Not Allowed.
However, some documents with "commenting not allowed set in Adobe Reader I can highlight or annotate fine, without it messing up after saving.
Besides, any document I save as pdf even from Word, will say commenting not allowed in Adobe Reader. So if even my own documents are not highlight- or annotate-able without garbling the text, what documents would these functions be for, then?
I think what somebody mentioned in the other thread about character encodings hold some truth, I see it in documents in Danish with æ ø and å (however, not all!), but not in English-only docs (yet. Have any of you?).
Thanks in advance,
- Alexander

No. Absolutely not possible in SAP. Once the invoice is deleted / cancelled, it is actually not deleted, but marked for deletion.

How can I restore a contact which was deleted from Contacts?

I opened Contacts on OS X 10.9.1. I noticed there was a duplicate contact. I deleted the duplicate, then added some information to the remaining copy of the contact. I closed contacts. When I returned a few minutes later, the remaining copy was also gone, now I would like to restore it, but there is no information on how to do that.
Thanks

What if it was synced - either to iCloud or iTunes (I'm not sure which one I backed up to) after the video was taken? How do I recover it? I have synced/backed-up my iPhone 4 since the video was deleted from my device. Is it still recoverable? Thanks.

How can i restore back all my data after deleting the apps and re-install back.
After reinstall back stll retrieve all my data.
Can i syncing back the original frm my macbook since last update is Mar

Favor the route via iTunes and local storage on the computer. MUCH faster than any cloudy backup, no matter the speed of your Internet connection. No network beats the speed of a hard drive. Just make sure there's enough room on the computer before you start, must contain all that's on the iGadget.

How can I restore my contact list after updating it to iOS 7

I have updated my iPhone 4s to io7 and all of a sudden my contact list got replaced by someone else contact list. How can i restore my contact list

The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer or cloud service regularly, most especially before any update/restore/etc
If you have failed to sync your contacts, then they are very likely gone.
You can try restoring from backup

I can't activate my iphone 5 after deleting its data on Find My Phone?

I lost my phone yesterday at the gym, someone found it but they didn't return it, so I came home and tracked my phone on the Find My Phone app, sent messages and I called the phone but the person did not reply, however, I deleted all its data clicking on the Erase Phone button and I sent a last message saying the Iphone was blocked and there was no way of them using it so they should return it.
This morning my gym called saying someone had returned it, the thing is, I can't activate seem to activate my iphone. The Message I sent from the app still shows on the screen and when I unlock it, it tells me to activate my iphone with itunes or wifi. When I try to activate it by wifi it says there's a technical problem and when I connect it to itunes it says the SIM card is locked and I have to unlock it, except that when I turn my iphone on it doesn't tell me to unlock my SIM card, it only tells me to activate my iphone so I don't know what to do really.
Thank you for your time and help.

Activating after a Find My iPhone lock bricks the device if you don't know the password used by Find My iPhone.
Read through this article to find if your device has an activation lock.

Can't find mails anymore after update from Tiger to Leopard

I've just updated my IMac from Tiger to Leopard (OSX 10.5.6).
After opening the Mail program I just see the menu bar (no window for the postbox).
When I open the postbox via the menu bar, the box is just empty. Are my mails gone? Where can I find or restore them?
Thanks for help,
Vanillia

Let's force an overall reindexing via the removal of the Envelope Index. Note the special instructions when forcing the reindexing of IMAP or Exchange accounts in the following:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/3.0/en/14019.html
This will force the reindexing of all the POP mailboxes and all On My Mac mailboxes. With regard to any IMAP accounts if you have any, the practical result of this action of removing the account folder, is that with the IMAP account still set up in the Preferences, Mail will connect to the IMAP server and create a new account folder, and while doing so will index the messages in the mailbox folders of the IMAP accounts on the server.
Keep me posted.

HT2486 TO MORE QUICKLY FIND CONTACT THAT ARE NOT FAMILIAR, CAN I DISPLAY THE ADDRESS BOOK IN A MORE OPEN FASHION, LIKE OUTLOOK "ADDRESS CARDS"

How many different views are there available in Address Book?
I can not find a way to display the raw alpha list or multiple cards within an alph letter
Thanks, I am new to Mac and learning the many limitations and some of the advantages.
Mike

Thanks very much for your reply.
I did see the ability to flip between the two levels of the data. However, that isn't the same thing as what could be done previously, and what I used to do/the functionality I'd like back.
Flipping back and forth between the two sets of pages makes it harder for how I worked because I make extensive notes about the contacts in the notes field. I need to see those notes to know if I want to move that contact to another group. So you would need to constantly flip back and forth when before it was just scrolling a list and dragging the contact when you saw one that needed to be added to a group.
Bottom line is without the third "window" or view to all three levels of the data open at the same time, much of what I need to do is very difficult now.
I don't have a small screen, and would like to be able to use it. I don't like the idea of having limits imposed and having to work around what used to be there. That is going backwards, not forward.
