Contacts modified on iPhone - changes disappear

I have had the opportunity to make changes to a contact record on the iPhone but when I return to my desk and plug the phone the changes are gone!
Thank God I've been able to remember what updates I made, otherwise it's a royal pain in the rear and totally unproductive. I feel like I cannot trust the phone.
For example: A call comes in, it's a client's Cell Phone. I select to add the recent call record phone number to the existing contact's record as a mobile. It seems to work fine, but when I plug in, nothing.
Now, once at my desk, I can uncradle the phone, make the same exact change and it's respected this time.
Thanks for your help

stsanford,
Had you made any more recent changes to the record on your computer?
In addition, you can set the sync process to warn you, and give you options anytime it will make a change to either the computer or the iPhone.
You can do this by opening iSync, going to preferences and set it to warn you whenever there is any change.
The percent option is based on the number of entries. 5000 contacts, you could have about 250 contacts changed before hitting the 5% mark.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

    Use separate Apple IDs for each family member and use Family Sharing features of those things (if any) that you do want to share. https://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/

  • TS4268 One of my contacts had an IPhone and we iMessage successful but now he switched to an android and now he can't receive my messages. He still has an iPod that receives them. How can I get my text changed to regular text instead iMessage? Thanks

    One of my contacts had an iPhone and we iMessage fine. Now he switched to a samsung galaxy note III and I need to switch his contact from iMessage so he can receive my text. He still has an iPod so iMessage still works for that but will that be effected by changing for android? How do I make the change? Thanks

    It isn't your issue, it is his. He needs to make sure he has turned of iMessage and removed his number from the iMessage database. If he does not still have the device, he needs to contact Apple Care to take care of it.

  • After changing contact photo on iPhone, photo no longer shows up in outlook

    I had my contact photos all setup on my iphone, and syncing correctly with iTunes and showing up correctly in Outlook 2007. The photos are stored on the iPhone, and set either by selecting the photo and doing "Assign to Contact", or in Contacts, Edit, Edit (the picture) and "Choose Photo". They would show up as a thumbnail in the Outlook 2007 Business Card view, and also in the detail when you double-click a contact. This part of the process hasn't changed.
    What has changed is iOS4. Now, when I go in and change a contact's photo on the iPhone, it no longer shows up correctly in Outlook 2007. It shows a blank space when showing the Business card view, but shows the photo correctly in the detail if I double-click a contact. Even if I change it back to the photo that it was, it still won't show correctly in Outlook 2007 Business Card view.
    Contacts whose photos I haven't changed since iOS4 show correctly in both places in Outlook 2007.
    Anyone else seeing this or have a fix?

    Hi!
    I'm having the same troubles and after searching for a while i found
    the following solution:
    In short (from http://gyoo.com/blog/?p=48)
    First, some figures:
    iPhone camera resolution: 1600×1200 (72dpi)
    iPhone screen resolution: 320×480 (160dpi)
    iPhone contact picture display size: 64×64 (160dpi)
    iPhone contact picture display size on call: 320×270 (160dpi)
    Outlook import resolution: 72×96 (72dpi)
    - On your PC, resize the image contact to 320×320 (160dpi),
    knowing that 25 pixels on the top and bottom will be semi-transparent when on call.
    - On your PC, create a folder iPhone Photos\Contacts and move your contact photos inside Sync the photos into your iPhone with iTunes through the Photos tab.
    - Select the iPhone Photos folder as source.
    - Manually associated the photo to your contact on the iPhone
    (Edit ->Add Photo->Choose Existing Photo)
    - Sync back the iPhone with iTunes.
    The photos will be associated automatically into Outlook with the good resolution this time.
    Regards
    Harry

    You should have been syncing your contact with your computer all along.  Just sync them from the computer to the new iphone.

  • I cant access control on syncing iphone with mac air to get contact via outlook to change on phone

    I cant access control on syncing iphone with mac air to get contacts via outlook to change on phone. Worked fine on old itunes.

    Hi Steve, Thanks for that. When I conect the phone it comes up with iphoto and starts to sync and then when that is finnished the itunes window shows my phone syncing at the top of the screen. The only button that says iphone which is on top right only asks if I want to eject and then disapears when sync finnishes. I can not see any other way of showing a side bar view and i can not access any way of controling the sycn service. It seems to be syncing calander but not my contacts. Have I missed something?

    All my contacts on my mac and iPhone have disappeared. Any ideas what happened and how to fix it?

    Do you see them at iCloud.com
    Do you think you could have done anything that might have caused this, if not then it might be best waiting a while in case they just come back.

  • How can I establish bluetooth connection with my iPhone so I can share and modify my iPhone's contact list on my macbook?

    How can I establish bluetooth connection with my iPhone so I can share and modify my iPhone's contact list on my macbook?

    The Mac and iPhone sync with iTunes though the charge cable that is included with the iPhone. Through this, you can sync your calendars and contacts.
    Bluetooth is an impractical sync scheme as the time it would take to say transfer your song catalog could be longer than your phone contract. I suppose it is entirely possible to implement with hacks and jailbreaking, but I am fairly sure it is beyond the rules here to discuss such activities.
    You may wan tto ask this same question in the iPhone section of the comminitie here. There may be some workarounds for just contacts.

  • New contacts that I create on my iPhone keep disappearing. I am using iCloud too.

    I am using an iPhone 4S, a MacBook (not the Pro) an iPad 1 and the iMac.I am also using the iCloud on all devices other than the iMac. For some reason I frequently find that the some of the new contacts I am certain that I created on my iPhone just disappear and I can never find them if I search for them after a few days. Why does this happen??

    Have you followed Apple's troubleshooting tips?

  • Since the upgrade to IOS7, the default phone label when adding new contacts on my iPhone 5 is "Radio".  Previously the default was "Mobile" how can this be changed back to "Mobile"?

    Since the upgrade to IOS7, the default phone label when adding new contacts in my iPhone 5 is "Radio". Previously the default was "Mobile". It is a hassle as when my iPhone contacts are synched with Outlook via Exchange, the phone number I've entered on the iPhone doesn't show on the default Outlook view as it is a "Radio" number rather than a "Mobile", "Work", "Home", etc number. It is still stored both on the iPhone & in Outlook & I can still use the number to phone or SMS, it is just incorrectly labelled & hence the source of frustration.
    Apple please return the default to "Mobile" or alternatively find a way we can alter the default ourselves to "Mobile" or "Home" etc.

  • All contacts "lost" on iPhone 3GS

    Hi,
    For some reason all my contacts on iPhone have disappeared. I have push enabled. I have tried synching from itunes Info Advanced "Replace information on this iPhone" with Contact list ticked. All the contacts are still on my laptop in Address Book Any ideas what I should try please? Thanks Rick

    If you have a MobileMe account and are syncing contacts over the air with your MobileMe account on your iPhone, DO NOT select to sync contacts direct with the Address Book on your Mac via the iTunes sync process.
    If you are unable to follow directions or prefer adding to the directions provided, I'll be done here and with you in a hurry.
    Deselect sync contacts direct with the Address Book on your Mac under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Select Apply. DO NOT select this again.
    Try deleting and recreating your MobileMe account on your iPhone.
    If no change after this, restore your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup. You can try restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup first, but since email account information and contacts are included with your iPhone and there is a problem with this on your iPhone, restoring from the backup will also restore any problem included with the backup.

  • Why is contact sync from iphone or ipad to local iMac address book gone?

    An option for syncing contacts from iphone or ipad to iMac seems to be gone.  From searching other posts on this topic, I see where contact sync is now "through iCloud" but is this the EXCLUSIVE choice for syncing contacts?  In other words, there is no longer any sync of contacts NOT through iCloud; I cannot sync contacts from my iPhone to my iMac without it all being stored in the cloud.
    This is absurd.  My iCloud was hacked (not a password issue on my iMac or any local trojan/etc there are support threads about this) and tons of spam sent to my contacts when I used to sync through the cloud.  I turned off iCloud sync for contacts and opted instead to sync from phone to mac and from iPad to mac and this was working just fine, keeping me nice and updated every day no matter where I modified any contacts.
    Now it seems that is no longer possible.  Is this by design?  Why on earth was this removed?  Is it a "feature" of these new products to remove working sync methods and force everything through the cloud??

    The ability to sync contacts, calendar and browser bookmarks directly from a Mac running Mavericks to an IOS device via USB or WiFi has indeed been removed. Synching through iCloud, Exchange, WebDAV or a similar cloud service is the only option now. You can comment to Apple in this issue via their feedback page, if you wish:
