Contact info gone when I sinc

I just upgraded to a 3G and want to fix something that has been a problem for about 2 years before I add all my contact info. Here's the deal.
In contacts I put in a company's name then their main number. I then add a phone and put numerous names and numbers in there. Some companies have 10-15 names and numbers.
Example:
ABC Company
bob smith 614-555-1212
bob smith cell 614....
larry smith....
Larry Cell
Amy smith
Amy cell
Now all this shows up on my I-phone fine but it doesn't show up in my outlook address book. Outlook only recognizes 3 numbers per contact. If anything happens to my phone and need to sync up I will lose all but 3 of the numbers. Per my example, Bob's numbers and one of Larry's numbers will be there all the others will be gone.
I tried an apple store, e-mail to apple and everyone else, nuttin. Everyone says "I never heard about that". Today someone said there is box/menu to change the number of phone numbers in outlook but I’ve spent an hour looking and can’t find a thing.
Using widows XP, Outlook 2007
Anyone???????????
Thanks
Jay

What you need to do is create every person at ABC Co as a separate contact on your iPhone and include "ABC Co" in the company line. They will each then become a separate address book entry in Outlook when you sync.
To quickly find everyone at ABC Co in your iPhone contacts, use the search function (at the every top of the contacts list), enter "ABC Co" in the search box and by the time you have got part way through entering the company name, a list of everyone at the company will have appeared on your screen for you to select the one you want to call. This will also enable you to include more information about each contact (e-mail address, cellphone number, notes or even a photo) should you want to.
You may also want to create a separate entry for the company itself to avoid having to enter address, main switchboard, website details etc for every contact at the company.
Incidentally, even if all the information in a contact entry on the iPhone doesn't sync with your address book, it will nonetheless be backed up when you connect the iPhone to iTunes. Should you lose the phone, you can restore everything that was on it when you last backed it up to a new one.
Hope this helps.

MobileMe/Iphone Contact Info Gone!!! Out the blue...

I use MobileMe Push service as my primary email ([email protected]). When I unlocked my iPhone a few minutes ago and went to "Recent" calls, no names were there...only a list of phone numbers. When I go to "contacts", same thing: all the info is GONE except the name. *** just happened?? Has anyone else experienced this??
I still have my Macbook with all of the original contact info and I also have Time Machine backups, but when I power up tonight, I don't want the "cloud" to overwrite the Macbook and remove all my contact info!!
I have no clue as to what's going on. Any suggestions??

Well..my original post was at 11-something this morning, Eastern time. It's 7:15 now ...and still..no luck. I'm relieved it's not just me however. That said, I just turned "off" MobileMe Contacts on the phone and did a manual sync via Itunes and ..viola...all contacts are back, but still...this *****.
The problems is actually worse now. Before, at least my contacts were on the phone, just w/o the additional info (phone number, address, etc.). Now, when I turn MobileMe Contacts "on", ...absolutely nothing happens. I logged in to me.com and all my contact info is there, 100%. Nothing is getting pushed to the phone. Oddly enough, the other apps (mail, calendar, etc.) seem to be working fine.
I think I'll just go w/o MobileMe Contacts for a day or two until Apple can sort this out...

Deleted Contact Info Reappears when I create SMS

I replaced my friend's number on my contacts since he changed his number already. Problem is whenever I send him a message, his old number reappears together with the new one when I type his name on the "To" field. How do I solve this? My contacts are only backed up in iCloud. I have tried wiping all my contacts in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendar>iCloud>Contacts>Delete from my phone. All my contacts are gone, then I turned back iCloud on again, my contacts were back, and the problem was still there. I checked my Contacts on iCloud, it only shows the new number.
Same thing happens for my old messages. Deleted messages appear on Spotlight Search and it's really bothering me. When I click the message, it just opens the Message App. Im afraid it's consuming my phone's memory. How do I solve this?
Thanks!

The only way to delete this information is to restore the iPhone as new, not from back up.

Phonebook contacts have gone from car since updating to v2.0

Via Bluetooth the contacts in my iPhone appeared in the phonebook in my car until I updated to version 2.0. Today I downloaded and installed v 2.0.1 hoping this would fix the problem. No luck.
Can I reinstall the old software 1.xx to get my phonebook back in the car? or does anyone know how I can fix this?

Hurrah!
Software v 2.2 fixed the above. Only waited 6 months.

How to correct safari autofill to my contact info, not my husband's

Autofill on my MacBookPro persistently uses my husband's contact info. When I go into Safari Preferences, there is an "edit" option, but it only opens my husband's Contact Page to edit. I cannot edit to change the contact page to my contact page. How can I do this?

Select your card in Contacts. Then select
Card ▹ Make This My Card
from the menu bar. If you share an account with your husband, he will now have the same problem you had.

Hi stanlaw,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The information below should help you with this.
Associating and verifying email addresses with your Apple ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE68
How to verify the primary email address for your Apple ID
When you first create an Apple ID (using your email address) a verification email will be sent to that address. If you sign in to your Apple ID from the link in that email, the email address will be verified as the primary email address for your Apple ID. You can also resend the email verification if the email address is not verified:
1. Sign in to My Apple ID to manage your account information.
2. Click Resend under Primary Email Address.
3. Verify your changes by following the link in the email you will receive from Apple and signing back in to your account.
I hope this information helps ....
Happy Holidays!

When i added my comcast email acct, my contact info is empty. how do i transfer my contacts?

when i added my comcast email acct, my contact info is empty. how do i transfer my contacts?

You have to get the contacts from the online address book into whatever application that you are using on your computer in order to sync them with iTunes
I have Comcast email as well and have never done this since all of my contacts in the online address book are already on my Mac. I believe that you can combine all of your contacts from Comcast and Outlook, Mac Address Book and other online email accounts then they can all sync with Outlook or Address Book on the Mac.
Read this online help article and I think it will link you to where you want to be to get started.

IOS7 update deletes my contact info when I send a text, why?

Since the IOS7 update I have been losing my contact info (Most recent saved numbers within 2-3 months) when I send a text message and when they respond it comes back as a blank number and no name. I send goup text quite often and I have to go to to that numbered text to see who it is. I have discussed this with several family members that has a I4 phone and I5 phone and they are experiencing the same thing. It is very annoying that I am ready to turn this phone in. I powered the phone off and did the home button and power button to reboot and still experiencing the same problems. Please help!!

I found the problem. If you set your text alert tone to none. The phone will not make a message sent sound. I set it to Tritone and it started make the sound again.

HT5624 Why in my email ( the one on my ipod5 that I use with my apple ID) when I get emails about my use of my apple ID to use a service in the from field it has my fathers name and when I click on it it shows his contact info ????

Why in my email ( the one on my ipod5 that I use with my apple ID) when I get emails about my use of my apple ID to use a service in the from field it has my fathers name and when I click on it it shows his contact info ???? I also set up my apple ID with a new email account and also I signed up for iCloud but used the same apple I'd email and password but it gave me a I cloud email! I did activate the favorites in my email . Noticed the from field has my fathers name and contact and it is a notification about me using my apple ID to sign in to FaceTime! Something is messed up, not sure how or why???

i didn't read a lot of your 2nd paragraph, but it seems like the password is the issue, right?
do a true clean install
reboot your machine and hold down command+option+r, you should see a spinning globe - if you don't see the globe or anything that reads internet recovery, shut down and try again
at menu, chose disk utility and once there, find your HD on the left side, select the physical name and erase it as mac journaled
exit disk utlity
at menu, choose install OSX
this time, when it asks for a password just hit continue, it will let you complete without a password
you should be able to get into your laptop, now figure out what password you'll be able to use with your kb issue

Problem when using a different data element in Employee Tab Contact Info

Hello,
My version: Nakisa OrgChart 4.1
I created a data element whose fields I wanted to show in the Position details (in the Employee Profile panel, which use the default Static layout 'Employee Tabs'). I am trying to display some contact info, and I used the Employee Tab Contact Info section within Employee Tabs to do it. Somehow the fields captions do not show once I do that (see picture attached). I tried using the 'Employee Tab Data Sheet' section to display the same information, and it works fine.
Any thoughts what could cause this behavior? All the fields captions have values that were configured in the data element.
Thanks
M.E.

Sorry, just re-reading from the start, you are saying this is purely dependent on the type of section you select. Right?
With "Employee Tab Contact Info", you say it doesn't show; Have you tried using Field/Value Section (Multiple)?
Also, when it doesn't work, what <presentation> is referenced in your custom section within "OrgUnitPositionEmployeeDetail.xml" (in \.delta\AppResources\detailconfiguration)?

Unfortunately the Mail app on the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch does have the option to clear previous recipients. If you don't want to live with it, the only way to remove these cached email addresses from the Mail application is by restoring the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch as a new iPad/iPhone/iPod. If you restore from backup, the cache is also restored.
This article shows you the screens you will see during the restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

When I merged my iPhone and iPad contact info., I lost all of the names that my messages were posted under. All conversations are now posted under phone numbers.

When setting up some iCloud info., agreed to merge iPhone and iPad contact info., and now most of my iPhone messages are listed by phone numbers, rather than by the person's name. Some of the names eventually showed up, but not many, and most of those now have the husband and wife's name together or just the family name (Millers, Smiths, etc.).

No, your iPhone and your iPad should not appear in the finder.
I'm not sure what you mean about downloading photos with iPhoto being double handling, but you can download direct to a folder with Image Capture. Image Capture can also be used to delete photos from the Camera Roll on the iPhone or iPad (preferrably after they are downloaded).
You can remove the photos you synced from your phone with iTunes by syncing again with an empty folder, That will delete all the photos that were previously synced that way, replacing them with the contents of the empty folder (that is, nothing). This will not effect photos takes with the camera on your iPhone.
