Contacts won't save

version 7.0.4
In messages I click an unsaved number to add to contacts. After I enter their name and back out to view all my messages the contact I entered before deletes or after a couple of minutes the number I just saved deletes. VERY ANNOYING.. and it has all been messing up since I turned on iCloud. As soon as i turned on iCloud. BAM like 30 - 40 on my contacts deleted. So fed up with apple...They need to make syncing information on the iPhone sync to the mac instead of if you have new contacts/music/info on your phone and you go to sync with your mac it deletes it all... I wish i knew this about Apple before i slipped in their slippery slope of a money pit.

Hi jayv. Thanks for the quick reply.
I'd deleted the contact that had been behaving naughty and created a new one- i then pasted the
correct info into that contact form a textedit file. It seems to be sving changes now.
I did also recheckaccounts and noticed one infrequently used exchange acct
had grabbed the contacts checkbox (though i never sync with thos contact).
So- it might have been either thing that fixed it- more testsing tomorrow....
thanks again!

Contacts won't save in my iPad....... Help!

The done button doesn't do anything, so I have to click on cancel and the info is not saved... Any hints?

I'd suggest trying a reset. Hold the Home and Power buttons down simultaneously until you see the apple logo.

Iphone 6 won't save contacts

my iPhone won't save my contacts. every time i try to save a number it disappear from my contacts?

Every time I saved a new contact, I noticed it wouldn't appear in my list... I clicked on 'Groups' at the top left and realised that my Gmail account wasn't ticked, I presume this is where they save to as default, I clicked 'Show all accounts' and all the ones I thought were missing appeared!

HT204150 iCloud contacts, they won't save. I get a message stating that "Your changes to this contact could not be saved because of server error". What can I do?

Some of my edits of contacts in the iCloud contacts will not save. Instead, I get the message that "Your changes to this contact could not be saved because of a server error". Other, similar, edits are saving and synching to other Apple devices.
Thanks for help

Jeffeighmy - I had this same problem last week. I think it is an iCould issue. It resolved itself. Just frustrating. I had reinstalled iCloud Control Panel and it would not let me save contacts or calendars. Then it just happened after a couple of days of trying. My contacts on my iphone are now duplicated, not in Outlook. Then when I delete one on the iphone it deletes it up through icloud and my pc so I loose that contact. Go figure.

Address book won't save changes to note field

Like the header says. Address book won't save changes to note field. There's another thread with the same header: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2591053?threadID=2591053 But it's archived so I had to post this new one.
If I made a change in any non-note field however, it would stay.
Note: the notes field can be edited with actually having to go into official "edit" mode. Does this make it more prone to corruption? Why would Apple make the notes field NOT need that extra step of protection. Do they think my notes aren't as important? How would they know?
I fixed this one card with a bandaid solution by exporting it and reimporting it. But I guess I need to do that with all 2,000 of my contacts now. It was mentioned on theother thread that somebody made an address book backup and then deleted every contact in the address book and imported them fresh from the backup and that worked.
The underlyilng issue is still not solved though. How could this happpen in the first place, and how do I know what other contacts haven't held lthe changes I thought I made?

Hi,
Using the Note field
You can add notes to any contact in Address Book. This makes it easy to keep track of details about a person in your address book.
Select the person in the Name column in Address Book, then click the Note field in the card.
The Note field can be edited at any time, even if the card is not in edit mode.
You could make a dedicated field that requires the edit button...
Using custom labels
You can change the label that appears next to a piece of information on a contact's card. For example, you might want to change "work" to "support" next to a phone number.
Select the contact that you want to change.
Click the Edit button at the bottom of the window.
Click the label next to a field, then choose Custom from the pop-up menu.
Enter a new label for the field.
The new custom label appears on this contact's card only.
If you want to change a specific label on all cards in your Address Book, edit the card template. Choose Address Book > Preferences and click Template. The Template pane also allows you to add other types of fields on contact cards, such as a nickname, job title, birthday, anniversary, and URL. Use the Add Field menu.

Settings won't save Yahoo mail after adding second verification?

My Yahoo email was hacked.   Most of the emails in my Yahoo account were sent a spam mail from my Yahoo account.
As advised, I changed my password and added some extra security - a second verification so no one can login to my account without additional security questions or verification code.
No problem adding email back on my android phone.   But my iPad and I can't figure it out.
I signed out of yahoo mail on iPad.   Deleted the account in settings.   Verified it was gone.
Added the account back in settings, or tried to.   I get the message server unavailable.   It won't save the new password.   It won't trigger second verification.
I went through Safari and I can login to Yahoo mail on Safari.
I am also able to add the account to the yahoo mail app and use it.   But my iPad is constantly asking for the password.
I'm hoping someone else has had a similar problem and solved it.

I hope I have a self answering question.... Thanks to the "more like this" side bar.
the problem comes from your second sign-in verification, go to your setting in your yahoo account then go to Edit your account info, then go to Manage your app password a new page come out, go to the Manage your app passwords box and write " my iphone mail" then press generate password, this will give you a long password this password you gonna use it ones in your iphone and ones in your ipad.
then go to your iphone open setting then go to your emails,contacts, calender. Then press yahoo account and go to your yahoo account information, erase the old password and enter the new long password and done.
hope work for you guys, did work for me.

Voice Memos won't save my recordings?

I'm in college so I usually record my classes for further detailing, but I just recently discovered that Voice Memos just won't save my recordings like 2/5 of the time. I already lost like 4 important ones for the past 3 days.
The thing is that I see it recording, but it just doesn't save it, and it's just sitting there at 00:00:00 with the name tag I had put. I want to die.

- Does you iTunes library already contain a Voice Memos playlist? Some users have had to manually create it in order for the sync to occur.
- Also try resetting your iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Photos won't save to camera roll

Since I installed iOS7, all the pictures I take with the camera won't save to camera roll. I see them in the lower corner of the camera but when I click on it, they are not in the camera roll. In the camera roll, I just have a bunch of pictures that I deleted months (or years!) ago. I uninstalled my profile and reinstalled it two or three times with always the same result.
All the settings are ok.
I installed the profile of a friend on my phone to test it and everything works fine with his profile.
Anyone can help me out with this issue?

bluetooth is an APPLE issue: they have blocked many of the 'normal' bluetooth features on 'other' handsets..
an example you may be thinking of is Sharing a photo via Bluetooth .. simple everywhere else, but can not be done on iphone
-you have to use it via an app such as iphoto, or send it attatched via an email, from the iphone.
stupid, annoying, yes.

HI, I just got a Macbook Pro. It's great but my mail doesn't work at all. It will come up correctly, but take forever to download messages, then won't delete them, then won't save them to folders. Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck.

Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck between quitting and not. I have to force quit, then restart my computer if I want to pull up my mail again. How can I fix this?

If you just got your new MBP you have phone support from Apple (which is quite good) call them. 800-692-7753 tell the automated answerer "mail technical support" you'll have human quite quickly. Hope this helps.

My iPhone 4 refuses to save pictures and at some instances, delete my existing pictures. I take a picture, and then go to camera roll and look, but it doesn't show up. The same thing happens when I try to screenshot things; it won't save.

My iPhone 4 is severely making me mad. It won't save any pictures I take. I will take the picture, then go to view it in the Camera Roll, and it just won't be there. The same thing occurs when screen shotting things on my iPhone. Some times it won't even let me delete the existing pictures I had on my phone before this all happened. I will click delelte, then it will pause, and eventually close me out of the photos app. However, when I go to settings, it says I have 440MB of pictures on here somewhere. But I can oly see 3 pictures in the camera roll. Also, it says in the camera roll app that it is 'Restoring...' then just sits and loads and won't restore anything at all. HELP ME PLEASE. I have iOS 7.1 currently installed.

Google calender and google contacts won't sync AGA...

I am getting very tired of Nokia now!
Actually I've had it with Nokia!
One last Change,
My wife and I have now received Nokia phones number 4 and 5 from the care center.
I now have a E7-00 with a poorly responsive touchscreen,
my wife now has a N8, wich just again is different than her previous.
I'm still haven't been able to find out whether the touchscreen is broken or...
Namely because I can hardly use the phone, again google calender and google contacts won't sync.
Got it to work last time around, but things (espacialy with Nokia) change.
Can somebody, Please, give me the page with the CORRECT instructrons? for the e7-00 and the N8?
I am very tired of clicking pages wich do not contain the anwsers.
Meanwhile, my friends and colleagues laugh at me, with their smasung's, HTC 's, LG 's, and iPhone's.
Which all sync (nearly) hassle-free with all they want.
Help

Hi Gucky66,
Thanks for your post and welcome to the forum.
Please reset and update the phone to fix any software issues you're experiencing on both your E7 and N8.
Connect your phone to Nokia Suite and create a back up via Tools > Back up.
Now disconnect the phone from Nokia Suite and enter *#7370# and default security code 12345 into your phone. Once the phone has rebooted, please reconnect with Nokia Suite and click on the green arrow icon where you will be able to update the phone to it's latest software version. If no update is listed, please reinstall the current software. This option is displayed in blue.
When the updated has completed, please restore the back up via Restore > Back up.
You should now have a fully working phone. If you're still experiencing difficulties with your Email account, please delete the account and reconfigure, you can do this via Menu > Mail > Select the email account > Long press > Delete mailbox.
If the above doesn't work, please contact your local Care line where they will be able to look at your previous repairs and look for a solution.
Please get back to me if you manage to resolve the issue, otherwise I can provide further support.

How can I sync the contacts in my phone with those on my MacBook Pro? I already have an iCloud account, and everything else (calendars,music, etc.I is already synched) but the contacts won't.

How can I sync the contacts in my phone with those on my MacBook Pro? I already have an iCloud account, and everything else (calendars,music, etc.I is already synched) but the contacts won't.

Ok.
Open System Preferences, Apple Logo icon in the menu bar and then System Preferences or the Sys Pref iocon in the Dock and go to the Internet Accounts area and look at your iCloud account. It should list what is and isn't synced by a checkmark next to each item.
Also in the Contacts app click on Contacts in the menu bar and select Preferences then accounts and make sure your iCloud account is listed. You can also do that from the Internet Accounts area in System Preferences.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 won't save scanned document in searchable PDF or .rtf format

HP Officejet Pro 8600 won't save scanned document in searchable PDF or .rtf format
The scanner scans the document without a problem but when I select 'SAVE' and
specify a location and file name, a system error 'The HP scan application was
unable to save the file to the specified location'. It will save a regular PDF file
or a JPG file with no problem, but trying to save an searchable PDF or .rtf file
results in the above mentioned system error.
This problem occurs either from HP SCAN or from the 8600 scan panel.
The computer is running Windows XP and the I.R.I.S. OCR software is
loaded.

Hello TrailsEnd,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're receiving an error message "The HP scan application was unable to save the file to the specified location". I will do my best to assist you!
First, I would recommend downloading this tool called the Print and Scan Doctor. This tool diagnoses and helps resolve common printing, scanning, and connectivity problems, including: (This information is stated here.)
USB: Verifies that the USB connection from your computer to the HP product is working correctly.
Network: Verifies that the network connection between your computer and your network is working correctly.
Device Status Test : Checks for device errors such as out of paper, paper jams, carriage stalls, and paper feed issues, and then provides instructions for fixing the error.
Driver Check : Checks for missing or corrupt driver files.
Device Manager : Checks for problems in Device Manager that would prevent printing.
Device Online : Checks if the product has been paused or set to offline, and then sets the status back to online if necessary.
Print Queue : Checks for and clears pending print jobs in the print queue (a log of print jobs waiting to print).
Port Match : Checks the port settings for the HP product.
Device Conflicts : Checks for conflicts with other drivers, such as other printer brands.
Ink Issues : Checks the cartridges and ink levels for issues that affect print quality.
Print Settings : Checks and adjusts the print quality settings.
Test Print : Prints a test page for print quality evaluation, and provides options for cleaning and aligning the printhead if necessary.
Scan Tests : Checks the scan mechanism, drivers, and registry entries.
Let me know if this tool fixes a scanning problem on this post. If this doesn't resolve your issue, then I am going to recommend uninstalling the software. Please follow this HP document on Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once this is complete, you can perform a clean boot on your computer. I will provide a Microsoft document here to help you. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program. Now, you can install the full feature software from the HP website here.
Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!

Logic Pro 9 won't save, hangs and quits??

I have just installed the latest software Logic Pro 9 with the latest update.
It won't save it hangs and quits??

First of all, you are still in Learn Mode, as the button on the bottom right is still darkened. Click it so it becomes lighter, meaning learn mode is no longer active. Then proceed to delete all the assignments, in your screenshot I can see the top message is assigned to A#1 (look at the "input Message" values on the right). But the rest of the assignments do not look like you conciously made them, it's a bit of a mess. You should be aware that cmd-L opens the CA-window, and engages Learn Mode, meaning that whatever is the very first MIDI message you send will be "learnt" as a controller assignment, and it will no longer be availbale as regular MIDI. That's how notes can "disappear" if you're unaware of this function. To open the CA window without engaging Learn Mode, use cmd-K.
(and clicking on the smaller picture will present the full size picture, no need to add that extra link.)
