Email in Contacts app

Why in the world did Apple remove the ability to select email types in the Contacts app? The only choice you get when adding a contact is email, instead of work, home, etc. this seems like a bug on their end or was it done on purpose?

I think the iPadMike and I both know how to do it - it just does not work anymore on our iPads. I thought the functionality was removed as did iPadMike. I can still edit previous contacts and choose the title that I want, but I CANNOT do it with a new contact added directly on the iPad.
It really isn't the end of the world to me, just another in a very long list of little "hinky" issues that others seem to be experiencing. Aside from this issue with the contacts app, everything else that I have tried to do, set up, go back to - whatever - has gone very well.
I will not lose sleep over this, but I would like to have the feature back at some point in a subsequent iOS update.
BTW ... Enjoy your time at Disney!

  • Contacts App in my macbook pro displays an image and I don't want it. I can change it but I cant just get rid of it. Actually I cant change it, neither from the contacts app or the settings users profiles. Appears changeable but changes dont stick.

    The image in question is next to my own entry in the address book. If I open the padlock any change in the selected image appears set but when I send an email the default image still appears so I cant even change it let alone achieve my goal of just not having a silly icon/image next to my name. I actually dont want an image at all, I want my recipients just to recieve my email. I think its really unprofessional to have silly images assigned and I cannot stand to send emails this way. Really appreciate if anyone could help me rid this daft image from my emails and contact app. I just dont get the point of not having control over this silliness myself. Apologes for being grumpy but i just wasted and hour and half trying to simply stop this happening. Really frustrated. I cant use my macbook pro for emailing as they look unprofessional and silly if sent from the mac.
    Thanks for any help.

    It doesn't show when you send mail.  It's only there to tell you which user sent the mail.  It does NOT show up on any mail you send.  It should be the image that you selected in System Preferences> Users & Groups > Your Account. That is where you can change it, and it will "stick."

    My 16gb iPhone 4S keep tell me that my storage is almost full and I don't have enough space for any upgrades. I don't have any music or videos on my phone. I deleted all old emails, texts, contacts and apps but still nothing. When I check my settings, I noticed that my Instagram is at 732mb and it keeps rising. Now it's at 814mb. Please help!!!!!

    What is the precise wording of the message that is occurring?
    Are  you attempting to update via iTunes on a computer or over the air on the device?
    How much free space is actually on the device?
    If updating via iTunes on the computer, how much free space on the computer?

  • How do I delete an email address that cannot be found in my contacts app

    An unknown email address always pops up when I try to select a recipient 
    That email address cannot be found anywhere in the contacts app when I try to get it deleted.
    It is an invalid address, as when I sent out a testing email, it was bounced as delivery failed.
    Is there a way to delete it ?
    Thank you.

    No there is no way to delete it. The addresses that the mail app "remembers" have nothing to do with what is in the Contacts App. If you mistakenly typed an incorrect email address at one time in the mail app - it is going to continue to come up as a suggestion from now on. There is no way to remove those short of restoring the iPad as a new device.

  • How do I add new contacts from email in Gmail app

    I recently just switched over from the native iPhone Mail app to the Gmail app and I'm enjoying the Gmail app a lot.
    However, I have one issue that I can seem to figure out.
    With the Apple Mail app, inside any email you can hold down on the sender and it will allow you to save that email address as a new contact.
    Is there a way to do this within the Gmail app? When you hold down on the senders info it only allows you to copy the info. It doesn't send it to the Contacts app to make a new contact.
    Am I missing something or does the Gmail app just not sync up with Contacts that way?
    I'm running an iPhone 4S ios 6.1.3
    Thanks!!

    The mail app that came with the phone allows you to add email senders as contacts because that feature is built into the iphone operating software.  I have looke dat gmail app on my phone and htere is no way of doing what you said you would like to do

  • Contact app no longer gives option to send text or email, why

    On my iphone 4s when it press my contact app and it gives me a list of my contacts and I select one I used to be able to hit send message and it would give the option of either sending it to email or sending it to iphone.  It no longer does this.  Anyone know why?

    I am frustrated by the same problem. I have been using OSx since the beginning. And, all that time, through every interation, by double-clicking on an entry in the Address panel, I was able to bring up a new mail compose window and have the address entered in the To: line.
    No more. In Mavericks a new compose window does indeed come up when an address is double-clicked, but the adress does not get entered on the "To" line. I have to click the "To" button (on the address panel), an extra operation.
    If someone knows how to restore the original sleek functionality of having the address moved, please tell me.

  • My Ipad 2 was working fine, after  syncronizing with iTunes the contacts App froze completely, in the Settings everything works, but if you go to the mail settings they the settings freeze. I can't send Emails. I am using outlook, anybody has an answer?

    My Ipad 2 was working fine, after syncronizing with iTunes the contacts App froze completely, in the Settings everything works fine but if you go to the mail settings the entitre settings freezes. I am usng Outlook but can't send mails.  Any body has a solution?

    Update to above question:
    Hello All,
    To anyone with the same problem described above, on THEIR iPad (if it is running iOS 7.0.2):
    Go to Settings; Mail, Contacts, Calendars; DELETE your *******@btinternet.com e-mail account, that you originally set up either using 'Other', or the 'BT' option which I am sure was in the list previous to the iOS 7 update.
    Then ADD a NEW account choosing YAHOO from the list of options. DO NOT USE 'OTHER'.
    Enter the correct details just as you (almost certainly) had already done in your previous attempts using 'other'.
    When you see the 'verifying......' and 'the blue ticks' you should be able to exit settings and open your mail app and then receive all your 'old' e-mails again, AND be able to SEND as well.
    All my 'old' e-mails, were NOT found in the 'old e-mail' folder though. THEY are still in my inbox.
    So this fix worked for me.
    After I deleted my account from 'OTHER' and put it in Yahoo, I like other people also ended up with more folders.
    I hope this works for you on YOUR Apple devices.

  • Contacts app? no accounts. can't add one. won't save a new contact.

    My Contacts app shows no accounts, I cannot add an account local or cloud, and if I add a contact it is not saved to disk. Anyone have any idea what is going on? and how I might fix it. Other apps in this group (Calendar, Mail, Notes, etc) seem to be working normally.

    I'm having this as well. I have a 15 inch Retina MacBook Pro (late 2013). I added an iCloud account in the preferences panel, and it added it successfully to email and calendar but not contacts, even though it is checked. I've tried to add it from within contacts, signed out of iCloud and signed back in, and restarted the computer with no success.
    I can't sync with iCloud or add a new contact.

  • Tried to sync my 5c on itunes but my daughter was logged in and now all her contacts, apps, and messages etc are on my phone. I was in the process of trying to run a backup because there was not enough memory for my phone to perform it. Help!!

    I was in the process of syncing my iphone 5c and then wanting to do a backup through iTunes because my phone did not have enough memory to backup. When I connected the phone to my computer and pulled up Itunes I thought I was logged into Itunes (my name was showing) but apparently my daughter had used and logged into itunes. Needless to say it started to sync and now my phone has all of her contacts, messages, apps etc. I followed what had been previously posted :
    This solved my question by Malignance on Feb 23, 2013 11:27 AM
    You should use separate Apple ID's for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime. These services are separate from iTunes.
    Create a new Apple ID > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ -- Note: You need a verified email address
    On one of the devices go:
    Settings > iCloud > (Scroll Down) Delete Account > Sign in with the new Apple ID -- Note: This only affects the device
    Settings > Messages > Send and Received > Apple ID > Sign Out > Sign in with the new Apple ID
    Settings > FaceTime > Apple ID > Sign Out > Sign in with the new Apple ID
    This will separate your iCloud content (i.e. Contacts, Notes, Reminders etc.), Messages and FaceTime.
    You both can continue to use the same Apple ID for iTunes and share purchased Apps, Music and Movies
    See the answer in context
    But I still have all her info on my phone. Is there any other way I can fix this or do I need to physically delete each contact, app, and message from my phone (and I still have not run a backup). Thanks for any help you can give me.

    If her data was not backed up or synced to something, it's gone. Sorry.

  • Shutting down or restarting my Pre causes software to change and limit email/text/contact functionality.

    Hi all,
    I just got back from a two week vacation, which happened to be just about a week after 1.4.  First off, before my vacation, I noticed a couple of weird things happening:
    Universal search wasn't working, except for applications and phone numbers.  So if I slid open my phone and started typing, I'd get no contact results and no option to search the web/wikipedia/etc.  Searching for something like "contact" would bring up a result for the contacts app though
    Clicking on the messaging app would register on the screen like I had clicked on it and it was about to open up, but it would never actually follow through.  It didn't lock the phone up, it just registered that you had clicked on it and never did anything about it.  This meant no messages of any sort, including text messages .
    Certain folks phone numbers had disappeared.  Not everyone, but a few scattered throughout.  Their contact information remained, just sans phone number.
    When opening the email application, am greeted with simply a white page, and the +app button in the lower left.  Going to accounts, my two emails accounts aren't accounted for at all( gmail and a work imap ).  Unable to re-add either account.
    So I figure something's gone wonky in the 1.4 update and that before I go off traveling for two weeks, I'll just hard reset it to make sure everything works.  I do that, everything seems to work fine, grab my spare battery and I'm off.  Unfortunately, no luck.  I'm in Washington DC and all the same problems are popping up.  Especially bad not being able to get text messages.  Fortunately, internet and the phone application work.  I took it in to a repair store, and they told me I was going to need to replace my phone, but they wouldn't be able to get one to me until after I had already went off to NYC.
    So I get to NY, my phone still isn't working - though all of the above problems aren't totally consistent.  Sometimes it seems like everything is working.  Sometimes all of the problems are happening at the same time.  I run the diagnostic tests and get a result of 100- bad memory.  So I finally get a new phone from Sprint in Brooklyn, and get everything set back up.  Hurray for the cloud and palm profile here - saved me oodles of time and was pretty close to seamless.  Except for the random deleted phone numbers.  Anyway, everything seems to be working fine, no issues.  My battery ends up running low on me later that night, so I shut it down and put in my backup battery.
    Bam! Back to the same issues.  Now mind you, this is on a new phone from Sprint( I watched him switch it over, so I'm certain they didn't just tell me I was getting a new one ).  The only things that are the same are my batteries, the back( it's a touchstone backpiece ) and my profile.  The issues seem to occur with both of my batteries, and the sprint guy seemed to think they were in ok shape.  I can't imagine it's the backplate, though I haven't tried with a different one yet.  So I'm left thinking it's my profile.
    Now the odd part - very consistently after a reset my phone works beautifully.  The first time I shut it down or restart it the issues pop up and don't go away.  I've tried canceling all of my applications from loading, deleting all installed applications( installed via the app store only ), etc with no success.  It's kinda driving me nuts now.  It doesn't seem to be hardware based, the sprint store guys haven't been very helpful past replacing the phone the first time, and I'm not sure where to go next.
    TL;DR: I'm having phone issues that appear to be related to my palm profile and am unsure as to how to go about solving them.
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    Thanks for the help.
    I've done as you've suggested and so far it seems to be working.  It's been about 30 hours now, I've drained the battery all they way down once, and when I get home this evening I'll try shutting down and switching to my backup battery just to double check that that works.  Otherwise, it certainly seems as if it's a profile issue.
    So, if that is the case, is it going to be possible to get my contact information that was stored on my old profile?  I don't really use the calendar too much, so that's not a huge issue, but I would also like to get my paid apps back too if possible, or some sort of credit so I can buy them again.
    Thanks again for the help,
    Ryan
    Edit: I just swapped out batteries and as expected, everything still works so does look like the profile.

  • How can I link contacts (e.g.. Facebook and Exchange) in Mountain Lions Contact App

    After I installed ML and setted everthing up, everthing is fine. On my iPhone and iPad as well as on the Mac the contacts are there. Alle contacts with same Name / Email are linked. But some, where name is not 100% matching are not. On iPhone and iPad i can link them manually but this linking is not synced between the devices. Well anyway, this is not a problem. Then i tried to link the respective contacts in Contact App on the Mac. There seems to be no option to do that. How can I link contacts on the Mac?
    Thx
    Jan

    Do you think it's acceptable if I simply put the contact email address without a link so users can just look at it and then copy and paste into their own web client/browser?
    You have to be a masochist to consciously publish an email address on a site anymore.   In a matter of weeks or months, you will get hit with so much spam mail, you won't want to open your inbox.
    Use a form-to-email-processing script in PHP, ASP or whatever programming language your server supports.  Find one that hides your email address and has good spam prevention built-in.  It may take you an entire day to set-up your first contact form but it's worth it.  Otherwise, use a service.

  • Contacts app not finding names in Exchange 2010

    Contacts app not finding names in Exchange 2010 server
    This is weird, could be a bug in 10.8.2, not sure, want to see if anyone else is seeing this.
    Mountain Lion 10.8.2
    Exchnage account created for: Mail, Contacts, Calendars. All looks good there.
    Cannot lookup names / email addresses in Contacts Global Address List (GAL) or in Mail app.
    Can delete the Exchnage account in Contacts and re-add it, and it will work.
    Once Contacts quits and is re-luanched, no dice. No connection, just spins and spins.
    Eventually Contacts app crashes, (not responding).
    Outlook 2011 works just fine, seems an issue with Contacts.
    Thanks,
    John K

    I thinkk this is a bug in Contacts app,  7.1 (1167),  in MT Lion.
    If one inputs the actual AD domain controllers dns name, for the Internal Server, Contacts app does the lookup successfully and pretty quick.
    This is how it is on Outlook 2011 BTW. Directoy Service in OL 2011 is the AD domain controller FQDN, not the Exchnage server.
    thanks,

  • How to email multiple contacts with mail in yosemite (holding down the shift key no longer works)?

    Does anyone know if it is possible to select multiple contact email addresses simultaneously from the contact list in Yosemite in a similar fashion to what we used to do (hold down the shift key)?  I have tried all the key combinations I can think of and none of them work. The "smart" address is a pain to use (to me at least) and I would have to make so many groups up to do what I use to do with just a few key strokes that I am really frustrated. Thanks for any help.

    Electron Mover,
    You can still open the stand alone Contacts App located in your applications folder and then drag and drop your contacts into the "To" field and it will add them. Also As you said.
    If you want to select multiple people in the Contacts App,  you can ( Command ) ( Click ) them and then drag and drop them into the "To" field.
    You can also place all the contacts into a group in the Contacts App. Then either drag and drop the group name from The Contacts App to the "To" field in Mail or you can start to type out the group name in the "To" field in Mail and from the pop down list select the group name and it will add all the contacts from that group.
    If you are willing I encourage you to send them feedback here: https://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html or https://www.apple.com/feedback/mail.html they won't respond but at least they will know your opinion.
    Hope that helps,
