Contact Help...

Not sure if this has been discussed or not:
I just noticed that on my Gmail account, I have a contact name for Kathy and Kaitlyn, as well as a Mike and Michael. For some reason when I synch my Droid, it will put all of Kaitlyn's info under kathy, and all of Michael's info under Mike? For some reason, it doesn't recognize the differences in the names. If I change Kaitlyn to Katy, then it saves it as a seperate contact.

These contacts may be linked on your phone.  Open the contact on your phone.  On the right side next to the contact name, there will appear two little spheres that appear joined with a green dash.  Press this.  It will open a link screen.  clear the link on the contact names you do not want joined.  Press done.
Now, back up by the contact name, you may see the work "LInk" in green followed by a number.  Press this.  Again, the link screen will appear showing you a list of contacts that it feels can be linked.  Press "clear suggestion."  Don't forget to press the "Done" button as you back out or your changes won't be saved.
Now, you should have separate contacts on your phone.

  • Every email address ever used in my contacts- help!

    I've got a new Blackberry Pearl 9105 3g, on the network 3. No idea what operating system, sorry!
    I set up my emails to come to my phone- yahoo and hotmail. And now, every email address that I have EVER sent an email to is in my phone contacts list!!!! All I want is my phone number contacts in there and now theres literally hundreds in my contacts list- sooooooooo annoying.
    Is there any way of removing them all other than to delete one by one which will take FOREVER?
    thank you x

    Your email addres is gmail? or yahoo?
    At your BIS account login where setup the email push, click to NOT sync contacts.
    Then, to clear the "bad" address book data from your device, See option 4 in this link.

  • HT4515 Contacts Help (Groups)

    How do  I take my contacts in my iphone 4s and make groups out of them? I was able to do this with my android but can't on my iphone device. Do I need to do this in itunes? If so how?

    Hi, I'm not 100% sure what you mean, but if you hi-lite a contact from list and select options then edit, you can add and remove details and edit existing ones.
    Hope this helps.
    Good Luck

  • Managing Contacts - Help!

    I am using PC suite 6.8.
    I've got an old Nokia 6100 and I'm using the CA-42 (if that's the correct code; it's a serial - usb adapter). I'm on a laptop running WinXP SP2.
    I can connect to my phone although I confess it was't as intuitive as I expected!
    What I want to know, and cannot find the answers for, is how to get my contact telephone numbers off my phone and into the contacts section of PC Suite?
    I have another question to ask about synching with Outlook, but it will have to wait till I clear up how to get my contacts to appear on my pc.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    sister-bliss is right (as always.
    One additional comment, with PC Sync you can syncronise the phone data to Outlook, Windows Address Book (Express) or Lotus Notes (even some Lotus Organiser version) so there is a need to have some counter part application in you PC where you can manage the content that you syncronised from phone.
    However, the contacts can be edited in Nokia Phone Browser also, once you have updated the contacts to PC side, you can double click a contact and it opens in edit window.
    You can also add new contacts to phone by using the left hand side button in Nokia Phone Browser picture bar (or what ever you call that area between folder tree view and the right hand side content area). Not very smooth, but doable

  • Contacting Help For A Zen Mi

    I have had my zen micro for months now and have finally decided to try to fix the head jack problem. The trouble is that I do not know which help forum I should go to since I do not have a warranty. Also, can anyone tell me how much they charge to fix the problem. I appreciate the help!

    Lilush,
    I pressume you are from the US. The player bought should be cover by one () year parts, ninety (90) days labor limited hardware warranty. If you are well within the year parts warranty but excess the 90 days labour warranty you will just need to pay for a small fee for the labour charges. Either way, just contact Customer Support and get ready your proof of purchase(receipt) and they should be able to assist you further. You can contact them either through phone or email.

  • Cannot get website email address from clicking Contacts Help

    Hi
    A lot of websites I go to and click on Contact us or email us nothing happens and therefore I cannot find the email address ,

    example of webpage below

    I click on there contacts email address and it just flashes but never see address
    How can I see the email address - is there some setting wrong somewhere ??
    thanks all

    Hi Globalmark,
    How can I see the email address - is there some setting wrong somewhere ??
    The email address should appear in the Status bar at the bottom of the Safari window when you mouse over the address. If there is no Status bar there, press cmd+/ to turn it on.
    Normally when you click on an address it should launch your local email application. Open Mail (Applications > Mail) and check in Mail preferences > General to see what application is currently configured to handle emails (don't ask me why this setting is here... only Apple can answer that one!).
    If it is set to Mail aready, try changing it to something else (any program, it does not matter which one) and then quit both Mail and Safari. Restart Mail, and once again change the default application to be Mail and quit Mail once more. Lastly, restart Safari and retry a site with an email link.
    Hope some of that helps!

  • IOS 5 update on iPhone 3 lost all my contacts, help!

    iOS 5 update on iPhone 3 lost all my contacts. I tried synching from sim and turning contacts off in iCloud, and advance synching on itunes, but still nothing. Help!

    Hi Bob,
    I had the same problem while updating my wife's 3GS and after panicking for a few mins I googled it and it seems that a lot of people ran into the same issue.
    Now then, IF you backed up your phone prior to doingthe update then you could try any one of the solutions on this page
    http://www.seangw.com/wordpress/2011/10/ios-5-upgrade-lost-my-contacts/
    Solution #5 worked for me but I have to add somehting that they won;t tell you.
    When doing the resotre it will ask you if you want to do a back up
    **********DON'T DO IT***********
    Just run the restore and make sue that any questions Itunes asks you during the restore process you answer with the sole purpose of getting your contacts back.
    Good luck!!!!
    Solution #5 – Restore Your iPhone
    This fix submitted by Chris (thanks!) in the comments, and seems to work for a few people:
    Plug iPhone into Computer
    Launch iTunes
    After it’s done syncing, right click on iPhone (under devices in the left) and click on “Restore from Backup”
    Choose one (it may not be the most recent, some folks have bad backups just before the upgrade)
    Let the iPhone restore completely

  • BT Yahoo Mail export contacts - help please!

    Hello,
    I'm trying to export my contacts from Bt Yahoo mail. I select all, click actions, click export all, click yahoo csv. However when I come to import contacts with outlook 2003 (I have also tried with gmail) only one (the top one) is imported. Also, when I open the CSV with Excel I can only see that one contact (an error message also appears saying "file not loaded completely). I have tried the same exporting contacts to an outlook csv with the same results. I have also tried selecting just some contacts but, equally, only the first one gets exported. I have also tried to sync my outlook with the account with yahoo sync, but no luck.
    I'm out of ideas, can anyone help?
    Gail

    Cheers but in the end I just exported all contacts as a "vCard, Zip of .VCF files" and imported each one individually to outlook then exported contacts as a csv file, then imported that to gmail.
    Labourious, but possibly a solution unless anyone else out there has anything better?

  • Contacts, Help!

    Hello,
    My iphone is set to sync with my Google contacts.  Here is the problem...in my phone, I want the contacts listed separately.  For example, I am friends with both a husband and a wife.  I want them listed as one contact in my Google contacts (For my christmas card list, etc).  In my iphone however, I want them listed individually with their phone number, email, etc.
    Is there a way to do this?  I'm really struggling.  I guess the option is not to sync, but then I run the risk of not having the updated addresses in the right place.
    Am I making this more difficult than it needs to be?
    Thanks for your help!

    Your question might be paraphrased this way:
    "I have my contacts organized one way on my computer.  I want them organized a different way on my iPhone.  How can I keep these two orgainzations yet maintain the contacts in only one place?"
    Yes, I think the option is not to sync -- that is, after you have imported the Google contacts and use them as a starting point for your newly organized contacts on your iPhone.  In other words, I recommend syncing exactly one time to get your iPhone contacts started.
    If you prefer the new organization (e.g., keeping husband and wife separate), you might consider switching to iCloud so your iPhone's contact organization can be used on other devices.
