Contacts not working.

My problem is that after downloading and installing iOS5, my contacts information refuses to be displayed on the phone, or anywhere else. If i go into my contacts i can see all the names there, but as soon as i select one it just crashes to home, but the app stays open just like if i had hit the home button. This also happens if i go into the phone section of my iphone and try to select a contact to call, ditto for messaging. The only way i can make a call is if i go to my recents and select a name and the only way i can send a message (text or iMessage) is if someone already sent me one and i reply. If i try to search a contact in my contacts list, i dont get a single result no matter what i type in, even though i have over 50 contacts in my phone. One more thing: when i go into icloud and try to set contacts to ON and then merge the same thing happens, it crashes to home.
My iphone is backed up on to my computer, and i have tried restoring and moving everything back on to my phone twice to no avail. This is infuriatingly frustrating, and i was wondering if anybody is having the same problem or a fix if they managed to figure it out. I eagerly await a reply.

I have the same problem. It always send me back to the home screen when i want to see a contact info or want to merge with Icloud... I don't know what to do, I need some help please!

  • Adding Faces to Address Book Contacts-Not working!

    I tried adding some faces to my Address book's contacts, but the "Face" icon, that is supposed to link you to your iPhoto Library does not work.  It is dimmed.
    And choosing my iPhoto Library instead, in hopes of being able to access my photos with faces, does not get around this problem.
    Anyone know of a fix?
    Thanks.

    I placed this question up here almost two years ago, and the problem has since resolved itself.  I think because I have upgraded my mac's operating system (OS) several times since then.
    You might want to check and see if you're using the latest version of Mac OS X (currently 10.8.4).  If you're not up-to-date, go into the App Store on your Mac and see if there is an OS update waiting for you.  That might help.
    Good luck.

  • 'Create New Contact' not working in Phone app

    I want to Create New Contact after a call from a new number (selecting the "circled i" button next to the "unknown" phone number in the Recents tab) but while I was entering data in the Contact app, I was interrupted, the iPhone went to sleep and my extensive Contact entry was lost because no data is saved until the Done button is manually selected which closes the record.
    When I go back to the Phone app and select the "circled i" button next to the "unknown" phone number in the Recents tab, both the "Create New Contact" and the "Add to Existing Contact" buttons to take me to the Contact app do not work...i.e. nothing happens when I press them, even after putting the iPhone to sleep. After several tries, I let it sleep for 10 minutes and now these buttons linking to the Contact app from the Phone app again work as usual.
    So we have two unacceptable defects in the iPhone basic Apple apps here:
    1- interruptions while entering a new Contact app record causes the new record to be lost because it isn't automatically saved when the iPhone goes to sleep or an incoming call, etc, but only when the user manually selects the Done button in the Contact app record, which closes the record and one must then select the Edit button to resume data entry (repeat often to simply save as you enter in case there is an unexpected interruption...how dumb is that?. This is just poor iOS implementation that doesn't consider common usage situations that cause data loss, and it could be data that isn't easily retrieved. If Apple doesn't know how to implement auto save at frequent intervals, or upon certain events like sleep or incoming call, then they should at least put a Save button next to the Done button so we can manually save without the stupid Done and Edit button pushing, repeat, repeat, repeat.
    2- A bug in the Phone app that causes the link buttons to the Contact app to stop functioning in at least the situation I describe above. This is unacceptable in a mature iOS basic usage app.

  • Search in contacts not working

    the searchh bar in the address book does not work?... I'm not loving the new layout either

    Not that you provided a lot of info to work with, but...
    Note that the search will work only within the Group that you are currently in. To search the entire address book you have to select the All Contacts group.

  • Ringtone for individual contacts not working help!

    I have had my Iphone for a week or so and I can not get individual ringtones for each contact to work. The guy at the ATT store was kind enough to transfer my contacts from my old Razr. ALL my calls are reverting to the default tone. This is very irritating. I can not find any duplicate entries in my contact list. I am on the verge of wiping all my contacts and starting over. Can someone help? Running OS 3.1.3.

    Sorry user error.. There is a sneaky little toggle switch right above the volume controls... It was in silence mode... Doh!

  • Exchange notes and contacts not working on yosemite

    After installing yosemite my contacts and notes are not working, I click on them to be incuded and it automatically unclicks them. Please help

    You can tell what account they are in by opening Contacts, tapping Groups, then selecting your non-iCloud groups one at a time to see the contacts that belong to each non-iCloud account. 
    Let's assume that they are scattered across multiple iCloud accounts as you stated.  To get them all in iCloud, do the following:
    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (they will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup to your phone.  (You'll need to get the "Pro" version if you have more than 500 contacts that you need to copy to iCloud.)  Use this to backup the remaining contacts on your phone (from the other accounts) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), set this to iCloud.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap each of the other accounts that you are syncing contacts with (such as Gmail) and turn off contacts syncing.  This will prevent having duplicates when you re-import them from the backup your made earlier.
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the other accounts back to your phone.  They should be in iCloud, and as a result, will sync to your other devices.

  • Calling through Contacts not working on iPhone 4s

    I am a brand new Verizon customer, although I have had an iPhone 2G and an iPhone 4 with ATT.
    The good news is that I can finally get cell phone service in my Manhattan apartment.  The bad news (apart from the fact that I am being forced to pay for way too many more minutes than I could possibly want) is that the new phone is giving me lots of trouble making call through the contacts app.
    When I try to call someone using the contacts app, I get a message saying that I am not signed up for long distance or international calling.  This happens with regular old domestic phone numbers.  If I manually type in the number to call, it works fine.  I never had this problem with my ATT iPhones.  What gives?
    Any help will be much appreciated.

    Hello balkan,
    If you have not resolved the opportunity you were having with the contacts not listed in your sms conversations I have a suggestion.  From your device navigate to Settings>Phone>International Assist and if it is on please turn it off.  Once you make sure that feature is off return to the home screen and double tap the home button to clear the application manager then power cycle the device. Test a message and if unsuccessful dial *228 send and choose option 1 and let the phone re-program again.  When that is complete the device should populate the contact name.  You can also find assistance here  Please let me know your results.  Thank you.

  • "merge duplicate contacts" - not working

    I have roughly 3600 contacts, many of which are duplicate names. I ran 'merge duplicate contacts' and Address Book came back and advised there were 1500 duplicates (which seemed high but, hey). I said, yes, 'merge' and it went off for two to three minutes and finished. There was no change in the number of contacts! All dups were still there.
    So I ran it again and Address Book found no duplicates, even though there are still as many as there were originally.
    Mystified.

    Hi,
    I'm sure that people will be happy to help you if you would explain better your problem.
    You simply wrote "is not working". Don't you think it is a bit too generic?
    Do you get an Oracle error, data are not updated as expected?
    We don't know what your problem is. Sorry.
    Please follow Paul advice and check the FAQ which is explaining how to post a question.
    A well written question will definitely get a good answer.

  • Phonebook/contacts not working since update

    My phonebook/contacts has stopped working, so I can't call or find numbers. All this since the update, everything else seems fine at the moment.

    Hi,
    I'm a bit confused, how do you mean that it does not work? What happens when you enter the phonebook, do you receive any error message?
    Where is the contacts stored? Do you sync via Gmail or an Exchange account or is it local contacts? After the repair, did you restore any backup were your contacts was stored?

  • Q10 - Contacts not working properly

    I just received a Q10 five days ago.  It is a corporate activation on BES10.  All my Outlook Exchange info has sync'd with the phone (e-mail, contacts, calendar) and, for the most part, the phone works well.
    However, when I am in the phone application the Contacts list is empty.  If I want call a contact, I have to go to the Contacts application and make the call from there.  Also, Caller ID comes up with the number only, not the person's name in the Contacts list.  It pretty clear that the Phone App and the Contacts App are not talking to each other.
    WhatsApp is also not working properly.  Contacts list is blank and I can't start a new chat, even from the Contacts App.
    This problem is not unique to me as I have read about quite a few cases of the same on other threads and boards.
    Is BlackBerry aware of and working on this problem?

    Now I just discovered my Q10 does not support Telenav. I have used Telenav on my last two Bberrys all over Europe + America and am now feeling betrayed. Anyone have a suggestion?

  • Internet Accounts LinkedIn. Contacts Not Working; Certificate Warning

    I'm running into this problem on two different Yosemite (10.10.1) installations. I've used Internet Accounts under System Preferences to add LinkedIn as a source for Contacts. However, when opening the Contacts app I get this message:
    If I click Show Certificate the cert looks as follows, which appears genuine:
    Regardless of whether I show the certificate and accept it, or Continue, the Contacts app is unable to retrieve Contacts from LinkedIn. It spins for a minute and then shows a connection error.
    Is anyone else seeing this? I've had LinkedIn Contacts syncing to my Macs for some time now using this manner; it only just starting breaking yesterday.

    A quick update on this in case anyone runs across this problem.
    Today, LinkedIn contacts started working again on both of my Macs. It isn't clear what was causing the problem; perhaps an issue on LinkedIn's end.

  • Share contacts not working

    When I choose "share contact" and send to an email address, all that's showing up is gibberish (to be more specific, the vcard information is showing up as HTML coding and not as an attachment). My brother sent a contact to me from his iPhone to test the feature and it arrived as a vcard attachment that I was able to import to Outlook. Here's what it looks like when I send one:
    BEGIN:VCARD
    VERSION:3.0
    N:;Commerce Bank;;;
    FN:Commerce Bank
    TEL;type=WORK;type=pref:(816) 234-2000
    TEL;type=WORK:(816) 234-2468
    item1.TEL:(800) 617-7480
    item1.X-ABLabel:_$!<Other>!$_
    item2.ADR;type=WORK;type=pref:;;1000 Walnut St;Kansas City;MO;64106;
    item2.X-ABADR:us
    item3.URL;type=pref:commercebank.com
    item3.X-ABLabel:_$!<HomePage>!$_
    END:VCARD
    Is anyone else having this problem? Thanks.

    I have traced this issue the the server used by the pre-installed Yahoo! email client on the iPhone. I set up the same email account as a POP manually and sent a vCard with success. Switched back to the Yahoo! pre-installed settings and the garbled failure returns. I have contacted Yahoo and my case has been escalated.

  • Only ONE contact not working for Messages?

    Hi All,
    Hope you can help me with this one... and please, I'm hoping for input from as many who have an idea, so please don't feel like there's no need to jump in on this even if there's someone else here posting with a solution. These threads are most useful with more than one insight. I'll try them all.
    So, here it goes...
    We've got an iPhone 4s on one end... and probably (but I'm not certain) an iPhone 4s at the other (could be an iPhone 4).
    On both ends, both users can send texts and SMS/MMS messages to everyone else in their respective phone books. They can also send each other emails successfully. But they cannot -- on either end -- send each other Messages (SMS/MMS or regular Messages).
    On both ends, the other user comes up as a red contact and the messages bounce back "not delivered."
    And we can't, for the life of us, figure out why.
    ALSO, in case it means anything, only this ONE contact comes up as red when typed into Messages on the companion Macbook.  So it's not just the iPhone on our end that's an issue. (NOTE: I'm only at one end of the chain here, helping my mother-in-law with her phone. Her daughter is at the other, several States away. So we can't see what she's got going on with her phone.).
    Here's what we've tried so far, with no luck (so jump past any recommendations that include the following, please):
    1) On both ends, we have deleted and recreated Contact cards.
    2) I logged out of iCloud, allowing it to delete the local contact cards etc. and logged back in.
    3) I logged out of the Messages account on this end and then logged back in.
    4) On both ends, we've checked to make sure neither contact is blocked (well, on this end anyway... on that end, they say they have but we're not sure if they're doing it right).
    Note: I have NOT reset the Network Settings... but only because all other contacts but this one are working.
    Any ideas, guys?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks... and then for the suggestion to sign out and sign back in. I've already done that though (see #3 in my original post... that's what it meant). And I've already sent a link to the person with the other phone, suggesting she do that too. Also thanks for the point on the MacBook not being able to send SMS. Good point.
    That said, yep... I'm sure I'm not trying to send an SMS. Even so, that would at least go in green... right?  But we cannot send either SMS or iMessage from this end.  When I open a new Message... and type in the contact name... it goes red. Just red. As though it's already unreachable. Even though it's the right number and the right email address. I would at least expect that it would, if she weren't registered to iMessage, be deliverable as an SMS (green)... but no.
    Here's the process, if it helps:
    I open a new message and type in the address -- it goes red (already a sign of trouble).
    Then I try to type in a message anyway. It goes green.
    Then I hit send and get back a "Not Delivered" error.
    Same on her end.
    Now, here's something interesting.... I'm typing to you now on a different machine, running under a different administrator (me) and I've just tried to send a message to the same two recipients. One, my mother-in-law's, works just fine. The other, my sister-in-law's ALSO goes red on my machine.
    Hmm.
    Question: You say "I would suggest you both go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, sign out and sign back in. Also make sure that the addresses that you are trying to reach each other at are listed there."
    By this, I'm assuming you only mean that each person's sending and reachable addresses are listed in the settings, right?
    I guess it's possible she never set that up (on the other end) but she says she can text fine with everyone except her mom.
    On the other hand, why would her email address go red in my new Message window too?

  • "End contact" not working on first click

    Hello everyone,
    We're currently developing the ICWC in CRM 5.0 with a CLM extension pack.
    We're having a problem with the End Interaction button. The functionality behind it (raising the events, saving transactions, ending the current customer) are all working perfectly, so when End Interaction is pressed, the IC navigates back to the default views and so on.
    And now the problem: the contact information is not cleared from the Contact Information Box in the contextareapage. I already debugged the whole thing for some days now and I'm quite sure that the problem is somewhere with a refresh and maybe at javascript level.
    The context area custom controller display_name and company_name variables are empty, even when the view is loaded (breakpoint in contextareapage.htm) but still the information is shown on the screen. When I play around with other functions in the contextareapage (like pressing back on the history breadcrumb, opening the scratchpad, pressing the end contact button again and so on) makes the contact information dissapear so this makes me think that a javascript refresh function was not called correctly.
    We already replaced quite some views now but we did not touch the contextareapage itself. I debugged the end contact procedure in our Z profile together with the SAP default profile and I don't see ANY difference, all the correct custom controllers are registered for the correct events and so on.
    I already tried to launch some javascript functions from the contextareapage (ic_base_contextarea_scripts.js) like updateCallerInfo(), interactionEnded() but without luck. (I launched the javascripts by placing them in <script> tags on the bupasearch.htm page, this page is called when the interaction is ended)
    Could someone help me on track again?
    I know that the MCM thing is responsible for injecting(?) javascripts in the required pages but don't know how to use it, maybe someone has any info on this?
    Many many thanks in advance,
    Kind regards,
    Joost

    Thanks for your suggestion! Creating a new profile and adding everything step by step was my last resort but I wasn't that desperate yet
    Anyway, just if people would encounter the same problem, I solved the problem by changing the javascript ic_base_contextarea_scripts.js and cleared myself the contact information box variables when the end contact button was clicked.
    I added following lines to the function wsb_handler(event) at the context
    if(value=="End"){
      closeLTXFrames();
      forwardCall(cAppEventCode,cAppEvtReqEndInt,"","","","","","","","","");
      contextArea.ContactDisplay.setContactName( '' );
      contextArea.ContactDisplay.setCompanyName( '' );
      contextArea.ContactDisplay.setContactType( '' ,  '' );
    Kind regards,
    Joost
