Creating a contact from the call list. Doable on the iPhone 4????

OK, recent BB convert here, a feature I use on the bb all the time was when some one called me, or I called someone, and they weren't on my contact list, I could highlight their number in the calling list, hit menu and add contact. Type in their name and done, contact created. Can you do something similar on the iPhone 4?

On the Recent Page, click the blue arrow to the right of the number.
Click Create new contact.

  • Restore contacts from the iPhone to our iMac?

    Recently the hard drive in our iMac crashed and needed replacements.  We want to restore the contacts from the iPhone.  How do we make that happen?

    Copy everything from your backup copy of your computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you would have to enter a unique contact in your computer.  When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge.

  • How to sync MobileMe contacts from the iPhone?

    Hello,
    Initially, I had the same contacts database on MobileMe and on my iPhone.
    Both contacts lists originated from my Mac Address Book.
    Syncing was not switched on - I simply forgot about it.
    Since then, many additional contacts have been added to the data on my iPhone - that's where I casually enter new contacts during the day, not my computer.
    Now I realize, I would need to sync my enlarged contacts data from my iPhone to MobileMe.
    Or, back to my Mac Address Book.
    When I want to switch on syncing, my iPhone says "Syncing with MobileMe will remove your existing contacts from your iPhone".
    This is not good!
    I want it just the other way around: MobileMe should be overwritten with the iPhone data!
    Is this syncing a one-way street? It can not be...
    Could anybody please help, how I can solve this?
    Thankyou.

    When first turning on over the air syncing for contact information on your iPhone, it is in one direction only - from what is available at MobileMe to your iPhone. Afterwards, the sync process is bidirectional.
    Sync your iPhone with the Address Book on your Mac via the iTunes sync process. Then sync the Address Book on your Mac with MobileMe. Make sure the Address Book on your Mac has been synced with MobileMe before turning on over the air syncing for contact information with MobileMe on your iPhone. Leave it on and any contact information entered on your iPhone will be synced with MobileMe and vice-versa from then on.

  • HT201269 How can i sync my contacts from the iPhone to my mac pro?

    Hi

    If you want your contacts to remain in sync across iOS devices, then you can use any Exchange-type of account.  For example, once you have a "clean" set of contacts with no duplicates, you could upload that into iCloud so that any change you make from your iPad would be reflected on your iPhone.  You don't have to use iCloud for e-mail since your devices can pull a contact from iCloud for use with GMail or Yahoo.
    But you can also set GMail up as an Exchange account if you don't want to use iCloud.  The GMail account type in iOS is not Exchange, but you can set it up that way:
    http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?l=en&topic=14252&answer=138740
    The benefit of doing this is (a) your Google contacts remain in sync across all your devices, and (b) your GMail will then support Push notification.  Just one caveat, when you do this then the default behavior when you delete an e-mail is such that it is archived to your "All Mail" folder in GMail.  The only way to change this behavior is to use your device's Safari to navigate to m.google.com/sync and change the setting on Google's server for each of your devices.  This is a one-time thing, but important if you want trashed e-mails to really go to Trash.
    As far as Contact Management Software options to clean things up, Google search is the only recommendation I have

  • How can I sync my contacts from the iPhone to google contacts while checking for duplicates?

    I have been using Outlook to sync contacts and it works well.  Now I would like to get rid of Outlook and put the contacts that I have into my gmail and Yahoo contact accounts and keep all 3 in sync.  When I do it the first time, I'd like to be able to check for duplicates.  Is there a way to do this?

  • HT4859 I backedup iphone 4 and iphone 5 to icloud. I need contacts from the ipone 4 backup but I do not have that phone anymore and icloud will only let me restore the iphone 5's backups now. Is there anyway to get the contacts from my previous iphone 4?

    I backedup my iphone 4 to the cloud before upgrading to an iphone 5. I also backedup my iphone 5 to icloud. I can see both phone's backups side by side on the my screen on icloud. But it will not allow me to restore the iphone 4 backup to my iphone 5.  I need contacts from the iphone 4 backup but I do not have that phone anymore and icloud will only let me restore the iphone 5's backups to my iphone 5. Is there anyway to get the contacts from my previous iphone 4 backup?

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

  • Windows 8.1 & Skype: how to call a contact from the Windows Contact List?

    Hi  I just added a contact on Win 8.1 Surface. When I try to call directly from the windows contact list I get a message that skype has been replaced by skype for desktop. When I remove the skype app (and keep skype for desktop) calling from the list is also not possible: I get a message that no app is associated (message-skype-com) Is there a way around it? Or is it currently not possible to call a skype contact from windows contacts? 

    Hi, Pancake12,
    Because I am not certain I an interpreting what you mean - although it looks quite literal - I am going to provide three separate pieces of information:
    - To remove a contact's name from your Skype sign-in window, please refer to the instruction in this FAQ article - using their account name, not yours:  https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA11070/how-can-i​-remove-my-skype-name-from-the-sign-in-screen-in-s​...
    - In case you mean removing a contact from the Skype Home Screen when you say, "sign in window," unfortunately, we cannot do this.  Skype has some arbitrary algorithm which places recently contacted people on the Home Screen.
    - In case you mean removing a contact from your contact list, here is an FAQ with the details how to do this:  https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA421/how-do-i-or​ganize-my-contacts   In Windows, it's as easy as highlighting by single-clicking a contact's name, right-click, and choose Remove from Contacts or Block.
    Hope this helps!
    Elaine

  • I am trying to create a group in the address book.  When I drag over the contacts from the contact list they duplicate in the address book. I am using "Lion"

    Hi cavu10horses,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has instructions for changing a contact's photo using a photo from iPhoto's Faces feature:
    Contacts: Add or change contact pictures
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11580
    Select a contact or your own card, and then double-click the picture well.
    Select a picture:
    Drag an image to the picture well.
    Click Camera to take a picture.
    If you have pictures in iPhoto, click the Faces button to use a face from iPhoto.
    If the contact is linked (it’s in multiple accounts, but displayed only once in Contacts) and has multiple account pictures, click Linked.
    Click Edit to edit the picture.
    To zoom in and out of the picture, drag the slider. Drag the picture to change which part of it is visible.
    To rotate the picture, hold down the Option key while you click and drag the picture.
    To apply special effects, click the Effects Gallery button and choose an effect.
    Click Done.
    Cheers,
    - Ari
