Contact app missing

At the screen the short cut to contacts is missing. Any clue?

Look under Utilities folder or some other folder maybe some other pages as well.
See if you can use spotlight to find it.
You put the default apps screen back by
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout

Built-in contacts app missing

I set up my Sports Watch 42mm Space Grey on Monday, but I can't find the built-in contacts app anymore on the app screen:
I can still see it in the iPhone Watch app listed under "My Watch" and change it's settings, but I can't get it to show. I know I deleted a bunch of apps from the watch by pressing their "x" their, so I maybe I deleted the contacts app as well.
How do I get it back?

Hi,
There is no contacts app for the Apple Watch which is why you cannot see it.
You can set your twelve friends for ease of access using the side button.
It is possible to view your contacts list from within the message and phone apps.
The contacts icon/ option is only in the Apple Watch app so you switch between mirroring your iPhone contacts or setting it to custom for the message and phone apps.

Contacts app missing tab to add contacts

Hello, I am having a problem with the contacts app which came with the iPad 2. The tab which allows you to add contacts has disappeared, maybe a month ago. Has any one had the same problem and if so is there a fix for this issue. I appreciate any help, thanks Rob.

Hello WithLatitude,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with linking your Yahoo! account with the Contacts app. I recommend checking the password in Preferences for Contacts. You can check this under Preferences > Accounts and then select your Yahoo! account.

Missing plus/add button at contact apps

I buy new i pad 2,2days ago and I found a problem to add contact at contact apps from home screen. I using iOS 5.1.
At contact apps only have return button.
Is here have some body to help me in my case?
Before, I already tried to restart the ipad, still no work at contact apps. So is there any other way to solve my problems?

Try going into Settings > iCloud and toggle 'Contacts' off and on and see if you then get the '+' in the Contacts app.

My contacts app is no longer on my iPad mini

My contacts app is gone but my email account and iMessage work fine. How do I retrieve the app on my mini?

Hello Phildebeldorado,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you are missing the My Photo Stream album on your iPad, then you may have the iCloud Photo Library beta enabled. When you enable this option, it removes the Camera Roll and My Photo Stream albums from your device.

Some problems with Contacts app and Apple iCloud CardDAV sync

Hi all,
I've managed to get my iCloud Contacts to sync with Playbook 2.0 Contacts app using the CardDAV account.
So far, so good, but I'd like to report many small annoyances which make me feel sad.
1. No clear separation between the accounts. I have the Contacts from two of my Gmail accounts and now from iCloud. There is NO WAY to view just one account, one must see all of them.
The Messages app is clearly better for separate different accounts.
2. The sort options are poor. I can sort by First or Last Name, but the presentation is still First Name followed by Last Name. I like the Last Name first. And the sort reverts all the time to First Name. VERY ANNOYING!!!
3. Related to item #1, no possibility to indicate when the new contact will be created. I presume it will be created on my Gmail account, because it's my primary account, but no mention about it.
4. Some fields are missing. I presume it's just the limiation of the Contacts app. For example, the Spouse field syncs, but not the Father, Mother or Child fields.
5. The Groups are synced as empty Contacts with the Name = Group Name.
6. No advanced sync options, like iCloud -> Playbook only to avoid to screw up my whole Address Book.
Hope all those annoyances will disappear with time. I understand that some problems with Google Contacts sync are due to Exchange limitations, but I hope full CardDAV support will be added soon.

I will figure out to to use Mail, Contacts and Calendar in best possible conditions, don't worry. I use them all the time, so for me it's a vital question, overwise I just sell the Playbook.
So far, Contacts suck because of the limitations enumerated in my first post, Messages suck because of the impossibility to select multiple messages at once and Calendar sucks because it doesn't support the Floating Time Zone.
All iCal users that use and abse this feature understand me

Phone and contacts app freezes, becomes slow and scrolling is jittery

My setup:
iPhone 4 with iOS 4.2.1 (8C148)
I don't have 3G on my CIM (provider BASE.BE), I can only use WiFi to connect to internet.
I sync my gmail contact (mail and calendar are turned off) through the iPhone built in Exchange account connector.
Fetch new data is off, push is off, fetch set to manually, advanced schedule set to manual.
I only turn WiFi on once a day, when I'm home, sync contacts and then I turn WiFi off again.
Spotlight search is turned off.
Device runs fine, battery life is great (much better than my iPhone 3Gs), I have about 2700 contacts, no duplicates, updates in both directions, everything working perfectly.
Then without any warning, or even without any use of the phone, this happens:
1) The phone and contacts app becomes unresponsive for a few seconds, remains very slow, scrolling becomes jittery or freezes. When the symptom occurs both apps have this issue. I assume because both use contacts. Both apps don't crash, they just get very slow as if they were trying to do something heavy. This does not happen with any particular event, like getting a call or text message. This can happen even at night without any missed calls or text messages send or received. The symptom does not affect any other app. For example when I open the iPod app, scrolling though the long list of music is fast, without any freezing or jittery behavior, while the Phone and Contacts app is still very slow. The problem does not go away by itself. Hard rebooting the phone does not help. I assume the problem is not related to any purchased apps because this can happen when none of them are running.
2) The phone gets really hot.
3) The battery drains very fast. I can go from 100% to 0% in under 30 minutes.
4) CPU usage (use System App to measure) goes from < 20% to >75% or more.
I notice the symptom mostly when in the 1) phone app, or 2) I feel the phone heat up or 3) in the morning when the phone battery is almost empty when it was full the night before.
I can fix the problem by 1) turning on WiFi, opening the contacts app. Then I see the circular indicator in the top left hand corner turning round. This takes just a few seconds, to sync 1 or 2 contacts en when the indicator disappears, the problem is gone. Scrolling is fast again. Problem fixed. It can take a day or two and the problem comes back. Do sync trick again and problem gone again, and so on...
I can also fix the issue by 2) deleting my gmail exchange account, putting it back and syncing everything back. But like with solution 1) the problem will just returns after a few days.
I have even tried a full factory reset and manually putting all my apps back. But again, when I import my gmail contacts, wait a few days and problem returns.
I've been having this issue for a few months now and have done quit some research on the subject. I'm pretty sure I also had the issue on iOS 4.1 and possibly also 4.0. I did not have the issue in iOS3. I had the same problem on my iPhone 3Gs which Apple replaced. I thought the battery was dying. Now I bought an iPhone 4, same problem.
I purchased many system monitor apps to find out what process was causing the problem. The problem is that none of the apps I found report CPU or memory consumption per individual process. So I only know CPU goes from below 20 to 75% and more, but I can't pinpoint which app or process is doing the extra consumption. But it has to be one the standard built in iOS processes. I can see when what process started. And when the issue happens, I can hard reset and don't launch anything, and the problem is still there.
When iPhone apps crash and you connect your phone via iTunes the crash reports are put on your computer. I found these logs but because the contact and phone app don't crash I have found nothing interesting there.
I have not found a way to trigger the problem on purpose. I tried adding, changing deleting contact on my iPhone, none of these actions trigger the issue. The problem just appears at random.
I have also not found a way NOT to have the issue. I've tried not changing any contacts for a few days, but the problem still creeps up.
I have read dozens of threads on the internet and only this one comes close:

I solved this problem by restoring my phone to factory setting. I dint find any solution to this problem. Now instead of using "Google Sync" i use iTunes contact sync which does the same thing.
The key is not to use "Google Sync" when you restore your iPhone. Follow these steps:
1. Take back up of everything. Sync your contacts so your gmail has latest contacts.
2. Restore your iPhone. And set it as new iPhone instead of reloading everything from previous backup.
3. Sync everything using iTunes.
4. For contacts go to Info -> Sync Contact with -> you can set up gmail here and it will load all gmail contacts to your iPhone.
My iPhone is working perfectly after this. I hope it works on your too.

How do I transfer Yahoo e-mail addresses to the Contact app?

How can I transfer my e-mail addresses from my Yahoo address book to the Contact app on the main screen of the iPod touch? If I go into my Yahoo mail on the iPod, the addresses are there but if I click directly on the Contacts app on the main screen it's blank. I'm just setting up my new IPod touch and I've read and re-read the synch directions over and over but other than just plugging it in there's nothing that tells me HOW to move the addresses to the "Contact app" where I'd like to be able to access them from. I'm thinking there must be a better way than to enter everything manually...
Thanks in advance for your help!

Now I have and it worked perfectly!!! Thanks very much. When I went into the iTunes the first time, I missed all the tabs across the top of that screen. For a beginner, the whole iTunes thing is way to busy! My opinion ofcourse. Thanks again!

My Facebook contacts not showing up in Mac Contacts.app!

After the introduction of syncing your Facebook contacts with iOS, my contacts aren't syncing through iCloud completely.
Contacts that are added through Facebook show up in my iPhone Contacts but are not showing in the Contacts.app on my Mac (Mntn Lion).
When I manually add a field to a Facebook contact on my iPhone it does finally sync to my Mac. But then I would have to find all my missing Facebook contacts so this is not a solution.
The solutions offered on http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998 have not solved anything.
Anyone else with this issue, solution? Thanks.

That's because they are not on iCloud, they are on Facebook which is a seperate account.
Add the Facebook account to your Mac.

Contacts do not come up when searching through Contacts App

I'm connected to an exchange server. Email, calendar, notes, all come through ok. Even though you can't sort notes by name which is a pain at least they are there. Work decided to give me an Apple iphone over my long trusted Blackberry which I miss horribly. Using the Iphone is more like a toy then anything and its messaging features seem to be all geared towards texting and imessage. Anyway when I load the CONTACTS app and start to search for a user it will not find that user. If I open up the mail app and start an email and start searching for a user, the user will come up fine. It is pulling that from the exchange server fine. I want to know why the CONTACT app isn't doing the same? It is not pulling from the Exchange server. I have deleted the account, created it again, made sure my contacts are to sync, everything I could think of. This prohibits me from looking at a contacts information, which you can't do from within the MAIL app. I also can't add a contact because I can't bring any up. Is this another "bug" that I'm beginning to find out between Iphone and Exchange possibly? Why would the MAIL app bring down the contact(s) I was searching for fine, but the CONTACT app won't? I tool a couple of hours and went through every setting possible and still at the same position I was when I started. I do not use icloud. Any suggestions on this? I have an Iphone 5S.

I have found the solution. There is another "group" called "Exchange Active Sync GAB" which means Global Address Book. You can't put a check mark on this group but you can select it once then prompts you for a search. If you input a search name that is in the Global Address Book it will take a about 10 seconds before it finds it and brings it up. We have over 30,000 addresses and groups in our Global, so it is quite large. I was under the assumption that when I checked ALL CONTACTS that group would be included, but it is not. If I ever want to go back to my own saved contacts I would need to go back into the groups area and select ALL CONTACTS. I wish I could do a search with them all together, but apparently the iphone can't do that right now. This is where I really miss by Blackberry. Blackberry did messaging really well and with the track pad it was a breeze to navigate and operate it. I guess I just miss that and have to get use to the iphone. Kind of weird all high school teenagers have the same exact phone we use in the corporate business world. I think Apple should keep making the iphone but start a new business line model for employees at work in a company. In my opinion there shouldn't be one phone model for ages 10-65. Anyway, just a thought.

How do I delete contacts in Contacts App. when not on iCloud

iPad2 IOS 6.1.3.
When I disconnect from iCloud by deleting mi Apple ID account, I still have information in my Contacts App. which I can't delete because the "Edit" button is missing. I presume this means that they are physically stored on my IPad. Is there a way to remove these contacts since I'd like to exchange my iPad?

If you see the contacts in the contacts app, then they are still on the iPad. I'm not sure what you mean about exchanging your iPad, but if you are getting rid of it for any reason at all, you should totally erase the device in the settings.
Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and settings.

Add contact icon missing from my contacts.

I can't add new contact as there is no + icon in contacts. Problem started after I did iOS 5.0 update.
Can anyone help?

Check out this iPhone discussion regarding the missing + sign in the Contacts App. Hopefully one of these solutions will work for you. The iPhone app works the same was as the iPad app so this applies to the iPad as well.

Contact icon missing

I have an IPhone 4 using iOS 6. My Contacts icon is missing and can only be accessed by clicking my Phone icon. I've already reset my Home Screen layout. I don't have a Utilities folder. Any other suggestions?

Look in Spotlight and you find witch folder contains the Contact App.
Look at the right side when Spotlight founds the app.

IPhone Contacts list missing Address Book Notes

In my Address Book app I like to put a bunch of information in the Notes field. All other fields transfer over to the Contacts app on the iPhone but the Notes field doesn't show. How can I get Notes information in Address Book to appear in iPhone Contacts.app?

Amendment: though some entries (if they're 5 lines or less) show complete, others appear truncated, others are repeated (two notes fields appear on the phone under the one entry) and still others are missing entirely. IOS 5.0.1, syncing using MobileMe.
Is this a limitation of iPhone Contacts?
