Deletion of "Business" Phone Numbers in Outlook af...

Has anyone had problems with business phone numbers stored in Microsoft Outlook being deleted after synching a Nokia N95 thru PC Suite? I have contacted Microsoft and they cannot help. Interestingly, it is only the "Business" phone number filed in Outlook that seems to have this problem - all others are OK.

SOrry i forgot to mentions the reason i said check for Dublicate numbers with one digit difference.
i have almost the same problem since 9300 Series. i figured out that i have too many cantacts number where their mobile fields consist of 10 digits each, the only difference between the numbers is in one digit only ( ex. 0505 XXXXXX and 0555 XXXXXXX ) if the Xs are the same I wont be albe to see the caller ID if I saved each on a different contact card . But, If i deleted the contact card of the number 0555 XXXXXXX all the outgoing calls and incoming call from this number will show the caller ID of 0505 XXXXXXX.
what i found it odd is when the one digit difference is at the end of the number it will show the caller ID for xxxxxxx1 or xxxxxxx2. Very Strange!
Hope the Helpdesk will provide me with a suggestion to resolve such little problem.

HT4759 help I have deleted all my phone numbers and contacts from my I phone they are stored in the icloud but I do not know how to reload them into my phone

I need help restoring my contact and phone number nformation backto my phone from the I cloud how do I do that

Welcome to the Apple Community Mom Mom barb.
if you are sure your contacts are still available at iCloud.com, then you've probably turned off contact syncing on the phone.
Go to settings > iCloud and turn contacts on.

My android 2.3 upgrade deleted phone numbers and won't let me edit some of my contacts now.

My Android 2.3 upgrade deleted contacts, deleted some random phone numbers, gave me text and email options for people when it eliminated needed phone numbers. It now has contact from Facebook and yahoo... and I can't seem to edit these and add in the phone numbers it deleted. I need help!!! I am soo frustrated with this new upgrade, I have barely used my phone for days now!! How do I fix this?

LadyLaRee, I can understand how losing contacts can be frustrating! First, which Android do you have? If you have numbers from Facebook, those cannot be edited because the information is coming from the user's Facebook profile. Also, your contacts from Yahoo may only have the email address which is why it is showing that way. They would need to update the number on their profile. The settings will vary by phone, but if you open your contacts, press the Menu button, you will normally have options for View or something similar. You can select which contact groups you want to show or not. Verify which options are checked. You can deselect Facebook or Yahoo if you choose. You will also have an option to only display contacts with phone numbers.

Need to correct and update my contacts' phone numbers

I need to correct and update (or delete) my contacts' telephone number, but there seems to be no place to edit phone numbers or delete them, once they are in the list.
Everything else seems fine, but I cannot delete old/wrong phone numbers.
The Help docs make no mention of editing contacts, strangely.
I am running Skype v5.8.0 on Mac OSX MountainLion.

The matter of contacts is a complicated one. Skype has a number of different contact types (Lync, Facebook, Skype, MSN/MSA, SkypeOut, AddressBook), and unfortunately some of them behave differently.
The thing to know is this: you are not allowed to delete a contact's identity. This is the string or number that Skype uses to uniquely identify a contact. It makes some intuitive sense: you probably wouldn't expect to be able to view your friend's Skype profile and edit their Skype name. At the very least, if this were a limitation, you'd probably understand why that was so.
Phone numbers in Skype work the same way. You can add and delete numbers to your heart's content AS LONG AS: (1) those numbers are not the identity number; (2) the contact type allows it (e.g. not Facebook, Lync, AB); and (3) they were added by you in Skype (not the Address Book).
The situation that seems to be tripping people up in this thread is when you create a contact which has a phone number as its identity. These numbers are called SkypeOut contacts, because they will use the SkypeOut service to call over the PSTN network instead of VOIP. They can be created in the Add Contact page, or by using the little plus button in the History or Conversation views after you’ve already made a call to the number.
Since Skype uses a phone number to refer to these SkypeOut contacts, and to save and recall history about them, you cannot remove that number. Skype wouldn’t know what to call this contact anymore without its identity. This is the behavior that tmcdanel was describing. You can change the number, but deleting it would lead to the contact itself (and all its other numbers and information) being deleted. And that may not what you were after.
So, where does that leave us?
If you have a SkypeOut contact which you want to change the number for, you can Edit the identity and change it. (It wasn’t always so: this feature was released about a year ago.)
If you’ve added other numbers in the meantime and would like one of those to become the identity, you can rotate one of them in by copying the number, deleting it from further down the list and then pasting it into the identity field (the first one in the list on the contact info page).
If you are never going to call this person again, and don’t have a new number for them, then you can delete the contact entirely. Do this by selecting the contact in the Contact List and pressing Delete. This won’t delete the history of calls and SMSes that you’ve made to that number, it will just remove the contact from your contact list. And if you ever you get a new number for them, you can add a new contact with the new number.
What I do personally is try to use SkypeOut contacts sparingly. I always add a number to the person’s Skype contact if I can.
I definitely recognize that this could be much simpler. Unfortunately, I can't provide a timeline for a more unified contact experience. But I thought people would want to know why it works the way it does at present. Hopefully this will give you a clear idea of how to use SkypeOut contacts as they exist today.

HT204023 My husband and I have different phone numbers for our business; however, we need a way to keep track of incoming and outgoing calls on both phones. By the end of the day, our phone has deleted several numbers. How can we locate those deleted nu

My husband and I have separate phone numbers for our business but need to keep track of incoming and outgoing calls; however, by end of day many numbers have been automatically erased from our phone. How can we find those deleted numbers?

I believe the total amount is 100 calls that will list.
No way of changing that.

I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I followed the steps given and ended up with just email addresses showing in my contacts even though I have phone numbers and snail mail in my Outlook Contacts. Using Windows 7

I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I used the knowldge document and set it up to transfer my Outlook contacts to the iphone using itunes.
In contacts on the iphone I only see the email addresses.
Yet in Outlook I have email, snail mail and phone numbers.
I followed the knowledge document from iphone.
I did it once, didn't work so deleted all the contacts from the phone and tried again. Same result. I have a PC using Windows 7 64 bit.

You can't access an Exchange account via ActiveSync with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac.
You can access a MM account with Outlook on your PC at work and keep your MM email account server stored mailboxes synced between your PC at work, your iPhone, and the MM "cloud". Not sure about syncing MM contact info and calendar events with Outlook at the same time with an Exchange account.
This will not provide for syncing your Exchange account contact info and calendar events with the Addresss Book and iCal on your Mac because the accounts are separate.
You can access an Exchange account and a MM account at the same time with the iPhone's mail client, and sync contact info and calendar events over the air with both accounts at the same time. You can view combined contact info or separately for each account, and the same for calendar events.

Sync to outlook doesn't copy phone numbers with type "iphone"

I noticed that outlook is missing many phone numbers that were added from my iPhone. I then realized the pattern was that the missing numbers all had been entered with the phone type of "iphone". Other types that match predefined Outlook categories (i.e. "mobile", "work", etc) seem to work ok.
I have a 3GS, all the latest updates, Windows 7 on the desktop.
Any ideas?
Thanks

For all of you (us) that had this problem I have found the solution!!! After hours on the phone with Apple - who were very nice, but didn't have the solution - I found the fix on Google.
You need to export your calendar to a .pst file (save it on your desktop or in an easy file to find later). Once you have exported all calendar items you'll need to select 'view All Appointments' and then delete them. This clears your entire calendar - the source of the problem is one of the appointments getting corrupted somehow. Once the calendar is clear sync your iPhone with the 'replace all calendar items' selected in the Advanced section of Info on iTunes. This should completely clear the calendar on your iPhone as well. You can then add a test appointment to your blank calendar in Outlook, sync regularly and it should appear on your iPhone. Once that test is done and things are working correctly, import your .pst file back into Outlook, restoring all of your valid appointments. Sync again and voila!
It took me the better part of two days, troubleshooting and searching to find this and hopefully this helps solve your issues as well.

If I delete phone numbers and contacts from my phone, and I go synch up and back up my phone to computer, will I get the contacts and phone numbers put back on my phone again

If I delet contact/phone numbers from my iPhone and then go to back up my iPhone in iTunes, will it put them back in my phone> if so, how do I get rid of those contacs.number out of the stored info on the computer?
Kris

it depends on whether or not the contacts are in a contacts program on your computer and where they are on your phone. if they're on your phone in icloud, then no. if they're on your phone from an email account, then no. if they're on your phone in a group called 'from my pc' or 'outlook' or something like that, then yes, by default, they'll most likely come back to your phone from your computer

HT4910 Have two phones with same apple id as I got one for my hubbie .he tried to back up his numbers in I cloud . Our contacts have now merged and neither can delete from our phone without it coming off the other . Any ideas how we can stop this

Have two iPhones with the same id as I got hubbie one in week and when I got it they asked for email address so I gave the one we use, so when my husband started phone up he just put my password in. When he tried to back his numbers on iCloud they all appeared on my phone and now I can't delete his numbers without them deleting on his phone as well . Any help would be appreciated.

You'll have to migrate one of the phones to a different account, then delete the other person's data from each account (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores).
Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't from each account.

HT1296 How can I stop and delete facebook names and phone numbers from my iphone

How can I stop facebook names and phone numbers from being downloaded to my iphone and how can I delete the ones that are already there?

A better way might be
Settings > Facebook > Contacts > turn off.
There are other Facebook settings you might want to leave on. But I also prefer to turn off Calendar there as well to keep every Facebook friends birthday from clogging up my calendar app.

Back up Assistant lost all my business contact phone numbers

Saturday My Droid 3 that had already been difficult to use because it would not keep a new phone contact and would freeze in emergencies (I am talking get an ambulance, input a doctor's number while standing in the emergency room, or in business meetings, occasions like that) started losing the screen, it would go black if I opened the keyboard and then freeze with a black screen, continuously. It would not respond to attempts to turn it off. I took out the battery for a minute and put it back in and rebooted only to have the same thing happen over and over if I tried to use an app, make a call, view picture gallery, whatever. So I took my phone to the Oklahoma City, OK Verizon Wireless Store #331769 for CUSTOMER SERVICE. I showed the sales people my frozen black screen phone and that the back was broken and was being held on only at the top and by the neoprene case. They took the battery out and put it back in and declared my problem solved and told me that my phone was like a computer and needed to be turned off once a day and kept charged. I assured them that I was aware of this and that I did turn it off and let it reset and I charged it up every night and sometimes in the day as needed. The FIRST SOLUTION was to reformat the phone which WIPED ALL INFORMATION AND APPS OFF OF MY PHONE. I let them do that and they sent me home with it to replace all my information and apps.
Now I come to find that ALL MY BUSINESS CONTACT PHONE NUMBERS ARE MISSING from using Back Up Assistant. This is critical for my work!
ALL CONTACT INFORMATION was missing on my online account! Why would that happen? I will synch what is left on my phone to my BACK UP ASSISTANT account online.
I still haven't transferred the sim card to my "replacement phone". How can I insure that I don't lose all my contact information again???
I am going to Verizon Wireless Store #331769 for CUSTOMER SERVICE directly after work. If they lose my business contact information and phone numbers, I will be forced to re-enter 200+ contacts before I leave to go out of state for work tomorrow..
Any suggestions for a positive result?
THE CUSTOMER SERVICE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!

Hello Drucatic
I'm sorry you were not able to get the contacts back. I know how irritating it would be to reload all those contacts.Were the contacts synced with the Gmail account? Please try backing it up with Gmail. Are you able to log in online at www.verizonwireless.com/myverizon ?If so, Please log in and check the trash the contacts may of accidently been moved.
Thank you

Why I get double phone numbers and addresses but not notes within a contact when I sync iphone 4S with Outlook 2007?

I get double phone numbers, double addresses, but not double notes, when I sync iPhne 4S with Outlook 2007. How can I prevent it from happening?

Yes, I removed iCloud add-on from Outlook; and uninstalled iCloud. I then re-installed, and sync would not work (no tab for sync in Outlook either). There was no improvement.
However, since reading your post, I have just tried signing out of icloud control panel and signing in again....and now all si working as it should. Weird!!
Thanks for your assistance.

I'm trying to input phone numbers starting with 0, into Numbers spreadsheet. It keeps deleting the 0- any clues?

I'm trying to input phone numbers starting with 0 into Numbers Spreadsheets. It keeps deleting the 0. any clues anyone?

select the cells (or column) where you are entering the phone numbers and change the format to "Text":
Then "Natural" way to write numbers is to omit leading zeros.
Another ways is to leave the the cell format as "Automatic" and type a single quote BEFORE entering the phone number... like this:
'0408

My contacts all got deleted from my phone, and was replaced with names and numbers of people I've never met before.

My phone was working as normal, then all of a sudden when I checked my text messages all the names of my contacts got replaced by their actual phone numbers. When I checked my contacts, it looks like everyone got deleted from my phone, and was replaced with names and numbers of people I've never met before. Even when I check my icloud for a backup it has the same issue. I don't know how this is possible and not certain as to how to rectify and get my contacts back.

Hi Also iPhone, need update to ios 8.1.2 do this over WiFi Use same Apple ID & Password. Cheers Brian
