Contacts added in Messages don't show up in Contacts/Address Book?

Okay, here's what's happening:
1) A friend messages me for the first time
2) At the top of the message window I hit "Add contact"
3) I type in the details
4) Now, this new contact SHOULD show up in my Address Book/the Contacts app, right? But it doesn't!

If found a thread on stackexchange dealing with several suggestions, none of which worked for me. The last message in the thread is diappointing as it basically says "don't use the add contact feature in the Message app". Unfortunately that is the answer I'll be going with since the feature is obviously broken.
Here's the link to the thread: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/36131/some-contacts-not-showing-up-but- are-still-stored-in-iphone-4

  • New contacts added on phone don't show up on synced address book

    I use iSync to sync contacts and calendars with my Sony Ericsson T610 phone over Bluetooth. Since upgrading to Leopard, I noticed that when I add a contact on my phone, the contact will never appear in the address book on my Mac. It works fine the other way around and calendar entries added on the phone will show up in iCal.
    I've set iSync to sync all contacts. The iSync log doesn't show any errors, but also ever only shows entries like [Mac -> Phone] (for both contacts and calendar entries) and not the other way around, even if I add a calendar entry on the phone (which gets synced fine).
    Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas?

    It works now. Maybe it was the 10.5.2 update.

  • New entered contacts on ios 7 don't show on phone contacts and on icloud

    the new entered contacts on my iphone 4s with ios 7. is not showing  on iphone contacts search  niether on icloud. However, if i dial the phone number corresponding to the new entered contact it shows the name on the phone screen.

    It's probably because they belong to a non-iCloud account on your iPad.  (iCloud only syncs contacts that belong to the iCloud account.)
    To check, open the contacts app on your iPad and tap Groups.  Do you have any non-iCloud accounts listed, such as On My iPhone, Gmail, Yahoo or an exchange account?
    Also go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section).  Do you have the Default Account setting there, and if so, what is selected as your default account?

    The question is why do you want to show the URL?
    Faces apps don't change the url with each click (as the click might be going into a region).
    Can you give us a use case? Do you use bounded task flows?
    JDev version?

  • Format address panel in iCal to show Department from the address book. At the moment it is showing 'Job Title' even though that has been removed in Address Book.

    Can anybody help please How do I Format address panel in iCal to show Department from the address book. At the moment it is showing 'Job Title' even though that has been removed in Address Book.

    I have a similar problem. I actually spoke with a Paypal customer Representative a few months back who informed me that they had deleted all of my previous *Hidden* Address but when I just purchased an item today on a online merchant's site that I had never been to before and checked out using their Paypal option, I noticed that my default shipping address was in fact my old address and when I went to change the address to my current address, I noticed all of the old addresses I ever used were still there. I've just spoken with 2 separate paypal representatives who confirmed on their end that all of the old address have been deleted and the only one they have on file is my current address. Can anyone provide me an explanation as to why the old hidden address can still be showing up when I check out on merchant's sites using paypal even after they've seemingly been deleted? The last Representative suggested clearing out my browser's cache, but I don't believe that will resolve my issue. Thank you in advance.

    This information is correct for Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents.
    It's also correct for Outlook if the Outlook Calendars where exported in the ics format.

  • Why don't the names from my address book show up to the left when I compose a message? They did in Windows XP

    Previously, when I clicked on "write", a column of names from my email address book would show up to the left of the message box and now they don't.
    When I imported the personal and collected addresses, two folders of each showed up: an empty "Personal Addresses Book" and the "Personal Address book" that I had imported. The same happened with the Collected Addresses. I wonder if this is part of the problem.

    Open a Write window and press F9 to turn the Contact Sidebar on.

  • Is there a way to exclude certain groups from my contacts so those birthdays don't show up in my calendar?

    I like the birthday button in iCal, but it is pulling in birthdays from every contact that I have a birthday for in my addressbook.  I have a sub-group that all have birthdays, but I don't want to see those birthdays in my calendar as they are not a group of people I have to deal with on a regular basis.  I don't want to delete those birthdays and lose the data, but I don't want to see their birthdays in my calendar (over 400 people).  Is there any way to exclude certain people's birthdays from my address book?

    The birthday calendar lists all contacts that have a birthday listed in the birthday field.  You would have to do something like cut and paste this data into the notes field of the contacts you wanted to exclude from the birthday calendar in order to keep this data without showing them in your birthday calendar.

  • New contacts added on iphone don't make it to addy book or Mobile Me

    Hey - Not sure if this is a Mobile Me or an iphone issue.
    When I add a new contact by clicking the return address and selecting New Contact on an email I receive the new contact does not show up in my iphone's contact list, and even after synching my phone it does not show up in my imac's address book either.
    But, if I start a new email and start typing the person's name, it will autocomplete with the address I just added.
    If I then add the contact at home on my imac, and synch it into my phone I see it once in my phone's contact list. But, if I start a new email and start typing the name I will have both entries to choose from, if I entered them differently. One from the one I added on my phone and another from my imac. This is most noticable for my brother. The one I created on the phone just has his first name, but the one I created at home is under first and last name. So if I start typing his first name it will show the first name entry and the first and last name entry as if they're two different people. I do not see a first name only entry in either address book.
    This behavior followed me from my iphone 3G to iphone 4 upgrade.
    I am using Mobile Me and in itunes I have all the synching turned off and in the iphone's Account settings I have all the synching turned on.
    Thanks!

    This happened to me in a way on my new iPhone 4. I have many contacts on my phone and had them on other iPhones. My phone had been restored from my 3Gs back up when I got my iPhone 4. Someone texted me that wasn't in my contacts list and I clicked the option in SMS to add new contact. When I went to my contact list the name or number wasn't in there. However when I searched the name in spotlight it found it. I then synced to my computer and it didn't help. To fix it I just Spotlight searched, remembered the number and added it to my contact list straight up. I then had 2 results when searching spotlight and had to find out how to delete the one that wasn't exactly in my contact list and keep the one that showed up and now everything is fine.
    However is there a fix for this so it doesn't happen again or an explanation to why.

  • Notes and other fields don't show up in Contacts on my iPod Classic 160GB

    I don't know if this is just a bug or if I missed a new option somewhere to hide/show Notes and other fields in Contacts, but they don't show up at all. This problem is specific to the new 160GB iPod I bought today. Notes show up fine on my 4GB Nano (2G) and old 3G iPod.
    I would at least like confirmation from some other people that the Notes field is not showing up in your contacts.
    I just ran through a few other contacts and it appears this is a more serious sync problem. There is a field listed in my Address Book as "work" that is showing up as "home" on the 160. The field is identified correctly on my nano. I also noticed that the field for the iChat id is completely missing from all the iPods.
    This is a pretty serious bug for anyone that uses their iPods for Contacts. Since someone is bound to ask, yes I did try resetting the iPod. I even went as far as completely restoring it from both Windows and the Mac, but always saw the same problem, so I went back to my default Mac setup.

    I did another restore and let iTunes move my whole library over before going back to the summary and syncing contacts, but I got the same result. No notes on any contacts and various contact fields that are named incorrectly compared to the Address Book originals.
    I would appreciate confirmation of this bug or people with 80/160 classics identifying that notes due show up in their contacts so that I can post an accurate description to the bug report form.
    Thanks!

  • Contact in Mail app, doesn't show up on Contacts

    I have one email address contact, with name, that shows up in Mail. When I go to the TO: box, and type in the first letter of that person's name, they show up, with their email address. When I go to my contacts, that person is not listed whatsoever. They are also not a contact in my address book, nor do I synch my Yahoo or google address books.
    My problem is, I want to delete this person out of my iphone, but I cannot. I can't find any way to edit the "TO:" contact list, and since they aren't in my Phone Contacts list, I don't know where to go to edit, or delete this one email.
    I also recently restored my iPhone, and re-synched but the person is still in there.

    All email recipients are stored in a list of previous recipients that is used for the autofill feature when addressing a message in addition to the address book. The Mail.app on a Mac includes the same along with an option to access the list of previous recipients. You can add a previous recipient to the Address Book that is not already entered, or remove a previous recipient from the list.
    Access to the list of previous recipients with the iPhone's mail client is not available - at the present time anyway.
    If you restored your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup, this data is included with your iPhone's backup.
    To get rid of what is currently in the list of previous recipients at the present time requires restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup. Relatively big price to pay regarding something that shouldn't be extremely difficult to ignore - at least until access to the list of previous recipients is supported.
