Email contact note field is missing

I was going to add a note to one of my email contacts but cannot find the note field there. Went and looked at others and cannot find the note field in any of my contacts. Can anyone help me?

If you are using the Verizon webmail, there is not a space to enter general notes on contacts.

E55 contacts note field 1000 character limit

In PC Suite, in can enter really long text into the contacts note field. Unfortunatelly, E55 displays first 1000 characters only (according to my tests), despite data being there after a successful synchronization. How do I know? I can synchronize the same E55 with MSOutlook in the next step, where the complete note field is transfered, not just the first 1000 characters. Is it possible, to get rid of this silly 1000 character display restriction? By the way, in my old E71, I did not have this problem.

Please post what you find with BB10 re: the hard limit or character limit for Contact Notes. If BB10 simply carries over their existing limits to their new platform (which is very stingy), then this could be a deal breaker. I'd be VERY disappointed but definitely NOT surprised.
By the way, I bought a 3rd party program that syncs BB with Outlook and any other program and it's called "CompanionLink" and it works with BB Desktop seamlessly. You don't even know it's running as you still sync using the native BB desktop. CompanionLink increases the hard limit that BB has set for Contact Notes, Tasks, etc. However, there is still a limit. So instead of getting maybe a 1/4 to 1/2 page of notes (on a word doc) you get almost a full page.

Activesync issues with large contact notes field

I'm running into an issue where changes made at the end of a large note in a contact do not get synced, while changes at the beginning do.
Can anyone else confirm? Is this an activesync or apple implementation issue?
I ran into something similar on the blackberry side - would only evaluate first 1k chars. Fixed with a software update.

Please let me know whether you experience the following issue, and submit feedback (or if you are an Apple Developer, a bug report). This issue is not related to synchronization.
Title/Subject:
Contacts 7.1 replaces one contact's Notes with another contact's Notes
Summary:
This issue's significance is severe because data is permanently lost: After searching for contacts and editing one of the contact's Notes, all found contacts' Notes are replaced with the changed contact's Notes.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch the Contacts 7.1 app in OSX 10.8.2.
2. Search for a string that appears in several contacts' Notes field.
3. Click on one of the contacts in the search results.
4. Ensure that "Edit Card" mode is NOT enabled.
5. Alter the found string in the contact's Notes field.
6. Click on a different contact in the search results list.
Expected Results:
The change is saved and the changed contact disappears from the search results list.
Actual Results:
All found contacts disappear from the search results list, and all found contacts' Notes are replaced with the changed contact's Notes.
Regression:
This issue did not exist in OSX 10.7's Address Book app. I have not had the opportunity to test earlier releases of OSX 10.8's Contacts app.
Notes:
Example:
Suppose a search for "P1" finds three contacts:
Name: Alan | Note: Ask permission. P1
Name: Betsy | Note: Backup files. P1
Name: Charles | Note: Call. P1
While "Edit Card" mode is NOT enabled, in Alan's note, change "P1" to "P2". Then click on Betsy in the search results list. Betsy and Charles' Notes are erroneously and permanently replaced with Alan's Note:
Name: Alan | Note: Ask permission. P2
Name: Betsy | Note: Ask permission. P2
Name: Charles | Note: Ask permission. P2

Sync'd contacts 'notes' field not showing in Outlook

Hey all,
Short version: Our notes fields on contacts is rarely visible in Outlook, but often shows when synced to a device.. Can someone point to something that says how to fix it, or something that says it's not supposed to do so?
Here's the longer version with details...
We use Outlook 2013 and 2010, mailboxes are hosted on our 2013 server and everything is synced via Activesync. I have a local contacts folder in Outlook that is synced to an iPhone. If I modify the Notes field for the contact on the iPhone, it
never shows up on Outlook. If I modify it in Outlook, it never shows up on the iPhone. If I modify it on the iPhone or Outlook, it shows up on an Android. If I modify it on an Android, it shows up on Outlook and an iPhone. Here's the
kicker... No matter what I modify it with, it ALWAYS shows up in Outlook Web Access.
Please keep in mind that I'm referring to a contact in a contact folder in the users' mailbox, NOT a contact from the GAL. We know the difference.
Can anyone clarify what's happening here? I've got a user who's driving me nuts about this and she's high enough in the company that this issue will never "go away" without a satisfactory explanation.

Was this ever resolved?
I have a similar issue with my iPhone iOS7 and Outlook 2013:
1) If I add/change a note in Outlook, it will show up in the contact info on iPhone
2) If I add/change a note on the iPhone, it will SOMETIMES show up in the contact info
3) Some contacts on my iPhone have two different "note" fields, one of which does sync, and the other not.
I'm guessing the issue could be that some contacts have that second "note" field which is called something else in Outlook... but what?

Strange behavior in Contacts 'Note' field

I am getting strange behavior in the 'Note' fields of my contacts. I am sending out my Christmas cards and, in the process, making a lot of comments in the 'Note' field. Here is what has been happening.
Notes disapper from one or many contacts.
Text from one note gets inserted into the note of several other contacts, replacing whatever content was previously in that contact.
The common thread here seems to be that the changes are being applied across all the notes in a Smart Group (I use a number of keywords to create Smart Groups).
A few questions.
Is my contact database corrupted in some way? If so, can how can I clean it up?
Are other people experience erratic behavior in the 'Note' field?
Is there any way that I can use the 'Note' field reliably?
As it is, the 'Note' field is essentially useless to me … and the address book is increasingly frustrating.
Many thanks,
Heather

Others are seeing this problem. I posted a reply to another link and was told to submit feedback to Apple.

Searching Text in Contact Notes Field

Hi,
I have been a Windows Phone user all along. I am interested in switching over to Nokia.
I am looking for one basic requirement of being able to search through the Contacts Field for any text.
I use MS Outlook and store lot of text in the Notes Field inside each of my Contact and I need to be easily able to bring up all contacts that have a particular word or string inside the notes area. I can easily do this in Windows phone. But so far no nokia user has been able to tell me for sure if this is possible, if so how.
Thanks in advance for your advise.

Yes you CAN search the notes field (for any text) in a contact, but ONLY with Nokia's Search Utility (free download http://mobilesearch.nokia.com/index.html).
The Address Book application is limited to searching by first name, last name, and company name only.
The Nokia Search Utility is very good, but it's not exactly fast. Generally speaking the Symbian operating system requires patience.
It's worth knowing that Nokia phones impose a limitation on the size of the notes field in an Outlook contact. The limitation varies from each Nokia model. But for example, notes (in a contact record) are limited to 255 characters on the N80, and 1,000 (one thousand) characters on the N95. On my old Nokia 6600 there was no such limit imposed, which was great. I often wonder why the oldest model phone had better support for Outlook sync, than the latest models - perhaps it's all about memory conservation.
I also use the notes section in my Outlook contacts extensively. Ideally I would use a Windows Mobile device for true Outlook synchronisation. But I can't find a Windows Mobile device as capable as the N95, so I tolerate and find work arounds Nokia's sync issues.
Nokia do a good job of updating their software frequently. Hopefully if it's demanded enough, they will remove the limitation on the size of the Notes field.
Microsoft Outlook 2003 also has a limit on the size of the Notes field in a Contact Record, but it's much more generous at over 1,000,000 (one million) characters.
Come on Nokia! Stop truncating the notes field!

Email contacts not appearing

I have had my phone for several months and this problem just started happening a day ago and I'm not sure why. Normally, when I compose a new email message and begin to type the recipient's name, it will automatically show me a list of names that start with the letter I type. Unfortunately, now it does no such thing. However, my contacts are still there because if I type the full email of a contact and go to the next line, it recognizes the email address and displays the persons name.
Any ideas on how to resolve this? I can't remember toying with my email options or address book and am quite lost. Any help would be much appreciated!!

I don't store contacts on webmail or use webmail so I could be wrong with this but it may be that only the contacts that you have received emails from will show up in the to address box when you partially type their name.
This would mean that any new contacts that you have added to your contact list would not show up in the above manner until you have received an email from them. Until then you would need to use the To+ button to the left of the address section to access the contacts list in order to add the contact to the email address section.

New Address Book contacts insert leading space into Notes field

When I create a new contact from scratch in Address Book (4.1) the Notes field at the bottom contains leading spaces / tabs. (I can't tell which). This means that information I type in at the bottom looks unusually formatted. This behaviour (I seem to remember) was also in Tiger; although now I m using Leopard (10.5.2).
2 questions:
1) How can I get rid of this leading space / tab for new contacts?
2) How can I get rid of this leading space for all existing contacts Notes' field.
thanx!
Diddles.

Ahh, I see. After you have entered the contact details, click the edit button to turn off editing mode before putting anything in the notes field. You don't need edit on to change notes.

IOS 5 will not search "notes" field in Contacts

I just upgraded my iPhone 4 to iOS 5 and I cannot search the ''notes" field in the Contacts App.
I work with a bunch of technicians and use the "notes" field to keep track of their expertise. When I want to find a technician with a specific talent, I usually just search the notes field in the Addressbook program on my Mac.
But, searching within the Contacts App on iOS 5 apparently only searches within First/Last Names and Company Names. iOS 5 will NOT search the "notes" field.
I have verified that this does not work on two other iPhone 4 phones.
Anyone have a solution? Or can you at least verify that this is happening on both the iPhone 4 and the iPhone 4S?

Alas, the searching of the contact "notes" field has never worked in iOS 5 or any previous version of iOS. It is baffling as to why Apple will not fix this issue. Worst of all, there is an ongoing dialogue about this since iOS 4 first came out. And most notably, the iOS search does successfully search the calendar "Notes" field, so why not the contact "Notes" field. So why oh why won't Apple fix this? Whether for personal or professional use there are so many iOS users that rely on a quick search of contact notes for various purposes. And I don't want to use another app for this. I just want this to work as expected in iOS.
Lastly - as everyone continues to state, even palm pilot used to search contact notes. This must be easy to implement!
Dear Apple - please be insanely great and implement this contact notes search feature into iOS 5 ASAP.

Contacts not populating

I'm having issues with just one particular Iphone device using IOS6 and the email contacts not populating. In other words when I start entering in the TO field it doesn't come up with suggestions. I'm connecting to a Microsoft Exchange for email over 4g or wifi.
Thanks... Gary

Hi,
Agree with DJ Grijalva.
Also suggest ask ActiveSync Forum to double confirm this issue. For your convenience:

Contact notes: MFE lost formatting after edit with...

The text in my contact notes field loses the formatting. End of line is not being kept in the device. In Outlook the text remains normally formatted with proper end of lines.
I have this problem with MFE (I use the last versions of MailForExchange). The problem does not happen with Roadsync.
Tested with E65, E71.
In Outlook, I store lot of text in the Notes Field of each of my Contacts. After syncing with the mobile device, I check the content in the device and the text appears as one sentence. The End Of Line EOL (input by enter key) is being ignored.
If I create the contact on the mobile device and edit the contact notes only on the mobile device this does not happen. As soon as I edit the notes field in outlook and after the next sync, the text appears as all lines together without EOL.
Switching back to Roadsync and resyncing all data: all contact notes are properly displayed in the mobile device too.
Does anyone know how to avoid that Outlook messes up the formatting of the contact notes in the device?

i saved some information in the task boxes, which somehow do hold the original format. it is a better than nothing option since the contact details permitted in n71 are so sparse.

Backing up Yahoo email and notes to icloud from iPad

Hi
Can anyone help me as I am new to the whole icould thing. I have an ipad with icloud backup activated and have turned on the icloud back up for email, contacts, notes etc. What I didn't realise (untill I lost a note) is that I was putting my notes and emails on my yahoo account and that these don't seem to back up to icloud. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to use my icloud email and notes to ensure everything is backed up from ipad and iphone? Thanks

You should use icloud's email account for notes. Also, icloud does not support other email services like yahoo.

Cannot open email, contacts, etc. folders once on my icloud account. I am using a PC.

When I try to open my icloud folders on my PC (email. contacts, notes, etc) they will not open. I can get into my account and see these links, but they do not open. I am able to open the "find my Iphone" link, although it does take a while for itr to do so.

Try opening in an "inprivate" window. I saw this on another post and it works for me!
