Cannot edit contacts on ipad

On my ipad 2 ios 5 there is no option to edit my contacts.

If you have a gmail, yahoo, etc. account go into settings>mail, contacts and make sure you're not syncing through yahoo for example.. Turn that off, if that still doesn't work delete the yahoo account and simply set up the account again..will add the + & edit functions again..

  • Cannot edit contact book

    Elements 9
    Windows 7 (64 bit)
    Outlook 10
    My elements contact book has 10 contacts listed and will not allow me to manage this list.  I cannot save any changes (edit/delete/new) to this book and I realise I cannot use my Outlook contacts list as Elements does not allow Outlook (64bit) use.  Can anyone suggest a way of managing the existing contacts book in a dynamic way or is 10 the maximum nymber of entries you can have (I've tried deleting entries to 'free' up the list but with no success)?

      The only method I know is to save contacts a V cards.
    In Outlook you select a contact and use Save As under the File Tab and choose V card format.
    In Organizer click Edit >> Contact Book
    Click Import and select V card
    Unfortunately Outlook only lets you save V cards individually but it’s a lot quicker than adding data manually.
     

  • Cannot edit contacts after download to iOS5

  • Cannot edit contacts on iPhone 4S with iOS 6

    My friend changed his number so I went to contacts and edited his phone no. However in a few minutes the contact number reverts back to the old one. I tried this twice...and it still reverts back to old no. What's happening? My contacts are NOT synched with icloud. Please help !         

    I am having the same problem - across 4 computers and 6 iOS devices all synced to the same iCloud account. It just started happening last week. If I edit a card on any device and click Done, it appears to save the edits...but within 60 seconds it reverts back to the old data - AND it adds the edited info in a new field. So if I edit a person's home phone number, it will revert back to the old phone number AND add the new edited phone number in a second Home Phone field. Does the same thing with addresses and email addresses. Needless to say it is making a mess of our address book and I'm at a loss. I will try systematically taking devices offline to see if the problem persists as I remove various iPhones and computers from the picture. I called Apple Support but got a guy who was actually more clueless than me.

  • Cannot sync contacts from iPad to pc?

    I'm desperately trying to copy my contacts from my iPad to Outlook (2013), since I have lost them all on my pc. But when I connect and go to Info (at least this is what it's called on my Danish version), I can't tick off "Sync Contacts" (nor calendars for that matter). Neither is there a choice on what on my iPad is called Resume.
    I hope it makes sense. I really need advice soon - and preferably in a not-too-technical language which this elderly, Danish lady will understand ;-)

    You can only sync to one computer/iTunes library.To make this your syncing computer:

  • Yahoo Mail does not auto fill addresses and I can't edit contacts

    With FF v9.0.1 my Yahoo mail no longer auto-fills email addresses from my contacts and I cannot edit contacts. It works if I use Safari on the same Mac.

  • Cannot edit pictures in contacts

    Trying to update some contacts and I cannot edit any of the pictures.

    I'm a little late to the game here, but I just got off the phone with a Senior Advisor and his statement was very clear:  The software on the Mac when using Contacts (or Address Book as it used to be aptly called) is different than the software on your iDevice for Contacts.  As such, and because of a limitation with the way Exchange handles the embedded photos, you can not make changes from your Mac. 
    He went on to say that he was unable to identify a work around or whether this would be addressed in the future.  I suggested there's likely a little finger pointing going on between MS and Mac as to who owns the problem.  Let's just say he 'didn't disagree'.
    So, for now, just get used to changing those photos on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch because that's what we're stuck with.  For now....

  • I cannot edit my contacts after upgrading to IOS5 .

  • HT1414 the thing comes that my ipad cannot be restored at this time because the server is temporarily unavailable  or cannot be contacted what should i do

    Please help me because i need to get this thing done fast. i was restoring it via itunes in my laptop and it say now the service cannot be contacted of is temporary unavailable what should i do Give me a quick response please. Thanks

    You could try again later but usually, that message means that the server detected a jailbroken device. Has your iPad been hacked or jailbroken? Or, has your computer been used with a hacked or jailbroken device?

  • I am 12 and want a 13 inch Macbook for video editing and stuff I cannot do on my iPad.

    I need a Macbook for video editing and stuff I cannot do on my iPad (flash web browsing, iMovie or Final Cut Pro for YouTube, small games, photoshop, Reaktor 5, etc). I was thinking of buying the MacBook Air 13" refurbished intel core i5 for $999. I can pay up to $1,300 so I was thinking of getting the 13" MacBook Pro with retina display refurbished intel core i5 for $1,260. But then I couldn't buy many accessories or AppleCare. I do not really want to buy the non-retina MacBook Pro because it is not as portable and I am only 12 but I don't know much about how heavy it is because there is no apple store where I live but this is why I came here. So which MacBook should I buy? (I am probably going to wait until the new MacBooks in June 2013)

    Hilary:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Congratulations on your upcoming graduation and the really wonderful gift you anticipate from your parents. Unfortunately, I am unable to give you information about upcoming Apple products or promotions, as I honestly don't know.
    All my purchased music, and games, and videos, etc are on the computer I am currently using. Is there a way to transfer all of it to my new MacBook I will be receiving?
    If the computer you are currently using is a Mac, yes, it can be transferred. One of the difficulties with the new MacBook is that it does not have any firewire ports, which will make networking a bit of a pain, but it can be done. Post back after you have your new computer with specs and we will give you directions on how to do it.
    And are they going to make a new Macbook? So should I wait?
    While I do not have any specific information about upcoming products, it is fairly certain that Apple will be coming out with new products. Of course this is a continuing process so you can be waiting for a long time. I would, personally, go ahead and get one now, and that should certainly see you through college. By then who know what wonderful products will be available!
    Please do post back with further questions or comments, if you have any.

  • HT1386 I have just rceived an upgrade to an iPhone 3GS. Now, when I visit the Store all the prices are in US dollars, not a big problem but I cannot edit my card details or contact to a UK address. I cannot see how to change this.

    Hi Roger
    Thank you for your reply.
    My original feed is: http://casa-egypt.com/feed/
    However, because I modified the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast and nothing changed, I redirected it to another feed and then I deleted this feed.
    Is there any way to change the feed in itunes? The only feed I have now is  http://feeds.feedburner.com/CasaEgyptStation
    I tried to restore the feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/imananddinasbroadcast but feedburner refused.
    I know that I missed things up but I still have hope in working things out.
    Thanks is advance.
