Email addresses are being saved as contacts

Every person I email from my desktop (work) computer, their email address is being automatically saved as a contact in my address book. Considering I can email up to 50 new people a day, its becoming very frustrating. Only happened since upgrading to iOS6. I may have changed a setting but I can't seem to locate. Any assistance welcomed.

I assume you are referring to it physically putting another separate contact in Address Book, and not the autofill list when typing an address into a new message window.
Mail does not have an option to add addresses from email to the address book automatically. The fact that you say it happens with the Exchange account and not the other accounts indicates that it's an exchange account problem.
Are you syncing the exchange account contact list with apple's address book? If so, you might take another look to the exchange account for something there.

When I look into my contacts, everyone's email addresses are there, but all the phone numbers I had are completely gone. Does anyone know how this could have happened, and what I do to get them back?

How to stop email addresses from being added to contacts

hofw do you stop email addresses from sent emails from being added automatically to contacts?

No. They are not being created by the phone. They are being created by your mail system, whether that is Exchange, Yahoo, Google, etc. They all have settings to automatically create contacts from people you correspond with. There is no setting on the phone to control this. Check the settings for your mail account with or talk to your IT department.

Phone numbers are on phone only. I haven't been using iCloud to sync with iPad & Mac yet. This morning I started to text & my yahoo acct popped up &'asked for my password. When I entered it, that's when all info disappeared except for email addresses.

Text send to email address not being delivered

Can anyone tell me why texts sent from my iphone 4 to my home email address are not being delivered? I like to send reminders of things I need to do from my phone to my email address. Have always been able to do this from other phones I've had but not now with this iphone 4. It saying they were sent but they never show up in my inbox or any other box.

If my reply is being sent as an SMS, what is to prevent the new message from being sent as an SMS?
What prevents the new message being sent as an SMS is that your actually sending an email -- not an SMS, when you initiate a [email protected], that is an email, not an SMS.

And are you aware of a way to send messages of any type to an email address from this model phone without having to have a data plan
Nope, you don't have the data plan. Sorta like refusing to install a trailer hitch on your truck, and then wondering why you can't pull a trailer behind.

Check on vendor email address change before saving PO

Hi All,
I need to check Is there any change in Vendor Email address in PO before
saving. I am trying to find userexits.
I found some like EXIT_SAPMM06E_012, But here I am not getting complete
Vendor address...
Req: I am maintaing multiple email address for Vendor at PO header level.
Here is the path: PO Header --> Address tab --> Click on Address Details
--> Here we can maintain(Insert/ Delete/Change) multiple e mail address.
So I need to check is there any change in email address before saving.
Could you please any body help me on this....
Thanks
Rays

Hello Rays,
One base question,
Are you going to check the vendor email address manually before saving the PO?
The vendor address in the puchase order is copied from the vendor master so you can maintain email address (single or multiple) in the vendor master before creating the purchase order. At the time of purchase order creation/save, you can change the default email address and use this to trigger PO to vendor.
By the way, user exit EXIT_SAPMM06E_012 (Check Customer-Specific Data Before Saving) is used for custom field not for SAP std field.
Hope this helps.

Business emails sent are being discarded from hotmail account, it's bona-fide, how do i register it?

Business emails sent are being DISCARDED (spam/virus - none present) when I send emails to my printer's hpeprint email address. I am sending them from my HOTMAIL account.
How do I go about stopping emails being discarded from printing from bona-fide email accounts?
Thank you,
Andy

Hi Andy, a couple of things to check :
When you're sending emails to your printer do you have any other addressees in the "To:" field? If so the service will reject these messages as spam. If you want to include other addresses on the messages use the BCC field
If you have opted to set the printers ePrint Settings to Allowed Senders Only, ensure the Hotmail email account you're trying to send from is included in that list of allowed senders.
Let me know how you get on.

HT204266 My apple ID for the App Store on my Iphone is incorrect. It is the email address of someone on my contact list and not me. How do I change the Apple ID Password on my Iphone to my Apple ID Password

When I go on the App Store App on my Iphone my Apple ID is not correct. It is the email address of someone on my contact list. How can I correct this and replace the incorrect Apple ID with my ID?

Go to Settings, iTunes & App Stores, click on the Apple ID. Sign out. Click again and sign in with your Apple ID.
Is it possible that this someone in your contact list had the phone and downloaded an app for you?

Email messages from my personal email account are being posted (copied) to SMS messages. I have a new cell device (swtched from Droid to iPhone) and this is happening on the new device also. The copy/forward to SMS is NOT being initiated by my email provider, and not by Gmail. How do I end ûVerizon's forwarding my personal email to SMS?
Thanks.

Maybe I'm missing something but how can Verizon have control over your personal GMail account? Sounds like you do have your email set up to forward to sms.
I have certain emails that are forwarded to me as SMS but that is an option that is enabled on the email side of things and is independent from Verizon.

AppleWorks documents are being saved automatically as Unix files. How?

Working on a G3 iBook with OS X (10.3), all AppleWorks documents are being saved as Unix Executable Files by the program despite the dialogue box saying they will be saved as Appleworks documents complete with ".cwk".
After a while of successfully opening these files via Get Info/ Open As, AppleWorks itself refuses to open up and I have to reload Appleworks onto the computer from disk for another brief lifespan.
Ideas? Help please.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Welcome to Apple Discussions
The files aren't actually saved as Unix executables, your system just thinks they are. I find this kind of file confusion often occurs if permissions aren't repaired using Disk Utility after a system update.
You can "re-teach" your system what program opens those files. Click a known AppleWorks document in the Finder to highlight it & choose Get Info from the File menu. In the Get Info box, click the triangle next to "Open With." Click on this drop-down menu & choose AppleWorks 6. If AppleWorks 6 is not a choice, choose "Other" & navigate to the AppleWorks 6 application. Now click the "Change" button under the text that asks if you want to open all documents like this with AppleWorks 6.
