Hovering in Mail doesn't create new contact...Please help

It always worked. Now I hover, I click create. But I can't find it in Address book. I go to ALL CONTACTS and do a search and nothing. I even made a fake contact in an email I sent to myself and called it test. Nope! yet, when I select Add to existing contact, it brings up the box like it is a contact. I have snow leopard and I have been doing this forever. It just stopped tonite. I also tried quitting mail and address book. I guess I could shut reboot the computer....

helpless21 you do not have the same problem. In any case post your issue in the applicable forum so folks can respond directly to you.

There is a script running which Noscript lets me forbid, called akamaihd.net. It runs a script which is the same as in html when you highlight a word then attach a url to it.
I don't know why I am seeing it but not others. FF and Chrome seem susceptible to it. It's not malware as usually thought of because no virus/malware program finds it here.
Unfortunately, I have to forbid this script for every site I visit.
In the other thread where your browser displayed an 'i.trkjmp.com' link which isn't really in the web page, I gave you a Google link for info about the problem. You said that it must be something else. Well, for months now, Chrome and Firefox users have been troubled by extensions which cause the 'i.trkjmp.com' problem. You might want to revisit the link I gave you.

Can't Create New File, PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hello,
I've been trying to read the previous forums on this topic and none of the advice has worked for me. I am running Photoshop 7.0 on Windows XP. It has been running fine for several years until this week.
I ran the Spyder 2 Suite to calibrate my laptop and LCD monitor and now the problem has arisen. One of the software's requests was to disable Adobe Gamma so I deleter my Adobe Gamma Loader.exe file from the start up folder.
As I went to create a new file in Photoshop, nothing would happen. The whole drop down menu for File was grayed out and I would have to Ctrl+Alt+Delete to get out of Photoshop. I then uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop, as well as uninstalled the Spyder software and still can't create a new file.
I checked and my Adobe Gamma Loader is back in the startup folder.
I also tried deleting my printer and took down my firewall like other posts have listed but those also did not work.
Please help!!!! I need to get back to some work asap!
Thanks,
Ryan

try resetting your preferences per the faq:

also make sure you're running ps 7.01 there were tons of bug fixes in that update over vers 7.0.

Expand page width without creating new section- please help!

When I expand the width of my page, iWeb creates a new section instead of expanding my content. Does anyone know how to fix this?? Thank you!

Here is a visual refferance. The first tab of the inspector is the "page inspector" then click Layout then adjust page width to fit your needs

How To Add Additional Fields When Creating New Contact From w/in Mac Mail?

Hi there. When in Mac Mail and clicking on contact information provided within an email, we are able to either (1) CREATE NEW CONTACT or (2) ADD TO EXISTING CONTACT (by clicking on the arrow next to a phone number, address, etc.). If I choose "Create New Contact," how can I add additional fields BEFORE clicking on "Add to Address Book" button in lower right corner? Let's say, for example, I know this new contacts URL or company. (Currently, I am creating the new contact from within Mac Mail and then going to Address Book and finding the contact, then editing, the adding the additional fields, then saving, and then going back to Mac Mail. This all takes time.)
Note: When creating a new iCal event from within Mac Mail, we can click on Option/Alt key when selecting drop-down arrow...and this will allow us to add additional information. The same feature isn't available for address book???

I have the exact same question and problem. If there was a way to automatically open the AB entry after "creating new contact" this would solve it.
Thanks for any suggestion

Missing contact when "create new contact" from email or number

I am having a really strange problem on my iPhone and think it will be a fun mystery to solve. Please help me!
It is currently set up with google so that my mail/notes are using gmail IMAP and my contacts/calendars are using Google Sync. So far it's been working pretty well except for all the known many bugs and issues (please fix these, google!). I have no other email, calendar, or contact accounts set up (not even syncing with my computer).
I received an email from a friend who I did not yet have a contact for, so in the email header I clicked her name and chose to "Create new contact." As usual, the email address was already in the "email" field, so I just edited her name and filled out the "company" field and pressed Done. The "from" field in the email updated to show that the contact had been added to my phone and that it recognized the email as being from her.
Now, I go to add a number to her contact and when I navigate through my contacts list, her name is no where to be seen. I've tried searching through the contacts by using the search bar at the top of both the Phone and the Contacts apps, but nothing shows up. However, when I compose an email and start typing her address, it recognizes her as a contact. Even weirder, I just tried the entire phone search spotlight feature, and it found her contact right away, as if it were any normal contact. When I click on it, it brings me to her contact page, which I cannot edit, and when I press the little left arrow "Contacts" in the top left of the screen to go back to the whole listing, she's not there!
When I go to add contacts using the little + symbol in the top right of the phone app, it works normally and the contact appears as usual. But every time I try to do a new contact from email, this happens! Choosing to "update existing contact" works fine, though. So I've been forced to create an empty contact with her name in the Phone app, and then add the email to it.
Please help my find where in my phone this contact is residing, and how to bring it out so I can find it. I have tried force-quitting the relevant apps from the multi-task dock, and even turning off and on my phone, but to no luck.
Update: Just tried creating a new contact from a phone number I've previously dialed and the same thing happens! Where are my contacts going?? This is so weird!
Not sure if this is just a google sync issue, but I figured I'd post it in case other people are having similar issues
Device: Apple iPhone 4
Carrier: AT&T
Country / Language: USA English
OS: iOS 4

I recently experienced a similar event. I was adding from Contacts "+" button on the iPhone 4. I completed entering the data & hit "done". I went back to add a photo. I hit "done" & went to test the result. No new contact. Search did not find it. Tried two more times with different contacts. Same result.
At one point, the "All Contacts" directory went blank. Nothing. Seconds later the contacts returned. Scary. I rebooted the iPhone. No new contacts but old ones fine.
I then entered with an old iPhone on OS 3.2 same data. Showed quickly via MobileMe. On the new iPhone added photo the photo. All OK. From an iPad, OS3 I did the same. Added photo in new phone. All OK. I added from the new iPhone including photo. All OK.
The iPhone IOS4 reboot may be the answer. Wish I had tried older systems before reboot.

Mail does not create new emails based on the highlighted mailbox, but rather the receiving mailbox of whatever individual email happens to be highlighted. This was not the case prior to Lion. Is this a bug or an error on my part?

Mail does not create new emails based on the highlighted mailbox, but rather according the receiving mailbox of whatever individual email happens to be highlighted. This was not the case prior to Lion. Is this a bug or an error on my part? (I do have the setting for creating new emails from the highlighted mailbox checked.)

The questions about time was not only because of thinking about the Time Machine, but also possible impact on recognizing which messages remaining on a POP server (doesn't apply to IMAP) have been already downloaded. In the Mail folder, at its root level, in Mail 3.x there is a file named MessageUidsAlreadyDownloaded3 that should prevent duplicate downloading -- some servers may not communicate the best with respect to that, and the universal index must certainly be involved in updating that index file. If it corrupts, it can inhibit proper downloading. However, setting the account up in a New User Account and having the same problem does not point that way, unless your POP3 server is very different from most.
That universal index is also typically involved when messages are meant to be moved from the Inbox to another mailbox -- in Mail 3.x the message does not move, but rather is copied, and then erased from the origin mailbox. That requires updating the Envelope Index to keep track of where the message is, and should keep track of where it is supposed to have been removed after the "Move".

'Create New Contact' not working in Phone app

I want to Create New Contact after a call from a new number (selecting the "circled i" button next to the "unknown" phone number in the Recents tab) but while I was entering data in the Contact app, I was interrupted, the iPhone went to sleep and my extensive Contact entry was lost because no data is saved until the Done button is manually selected which closes the record.
When I go back to the Phone app and select the "circled i" button next to the "unknown" phone number in the Recents tab, both the "Create New Contact" and the "Add to Existing Contact" buttons to take me to the Contact app do not work...i.e. nothing happens when I press them, even after putting the iPhone to sleep. After several tries, I let it sleep for 10 minutes and now these buttons linking to the Contact app from the Phone app again work as usual.
So we have two unacceptable defects in the iPhone basic Apple apps here:
1- interruptions while entering a new Contact app record causes the new record to be lost because it isn't automatically saved when the iPhone goes to sleep or an incoming call, etc, but only when the user manually selects the Done button in the Contact app record, which closes the record and one must then select the Edit button to resume data entry (repeat often to simply save as you enter in case there is an unexpected interruption...how dumb is that?. This is just poor iOS implementation that doesn't consider common usage situations that cause data loss, and it could be data that isn't easily retrieved. If Apple doesn't know how to implement auto save at frequent intervals, or upon certain events like sleep or incoming call, then they should at least put a Save button next to the Done button so we can manually save without the stupid Done and Edit button pushing, repeat, repeat, repeat.
2- A bug in the Phone app that causes the link buttons to the Contact app to stop functioning in at least the situation I describe above. This is unacceptable in a mature iOS basic usage app.

When in phone and I add dialed number to create new contact, I cant find it in with my contacts. Why is this?

How come when i am on the phone or in phone app, I add number to "create new contact". But when I go back to contacts to look it up, its not there?

Some mail programs, including Apple Mail, can reduce the size of images that are attached to a message. It's happening at the sender's end, and all you can do is ask the sender for a larger image.

My contacts are organized in different groups. An iPhone trade show app (Vinexpo) displays exhibitors infos and allows to create new contacts. Is there any way to save a new contact in a specified group instead of the contacts root? Thks in advance

My contacts on my iPhone are organized in different groups. I have downloaded a trade show app which gives infos on the exhibitors of the show. It offers to create new contacts from these info. Is there any way to save these new contacts in a specified group instead of putting them into the contacts root, where they are mixed with all the old ones? By the way, can we create a new contacts group directly from the IPhone, without having to go through the sync process with the PC?
Thanks a lot in advance

Sorry, I forgot to bookmark the thread where the app was mentioned, but searching for "group" or "contacts" should bring a few results in the AppStore.

Can't create new contact in OS7

My husband has a new iPhone 5c. Some of the calls in his recent call list give the option of "create new contact" when you press on the "i" next to the phone number of the recent call. Other calls give the option of sharing the contact, but not creating a new one. Why can't he create a new contact with every call? Is there a way around this?

if only the share contact is available, it means the contact is already stored in the phone.

Can't create new contacts from email message

I get an email message that has a phone number in it and of course an email address. I want to create a new contact. I hold down on the phone number and a dialog appears asking if I want to add to contacts. I select it and press Create New Contact. I type in a name. I click Done. The dialog disappears. I go to Contacts and there is no entry. Is this supposed to work?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

This solved it. Don't know why. Shouldn't be like this. When I searched for it, the file appeared. Not only it it appear but my three other attempts appeared as well. All four of them are in Contacts. That's a bit wacked I think.
Thanks very much.
Wait it gets better. I went back to the email. Clicked the email address to save it. Selected Add to existing contact. Found the contact. Added it. Click Done, and the name is gone again from the Conatcts directory. Used the search function again, and it reappeared.
But there's more. Left the phone app. Came back to it and the name is gone again. Apparently every time I want this name I have to add it by searching in Spotlight, and of course it's not updating iCloud so it's never going to get back to my computer.

You cannot uninstall the update. Apple does not support downgrading. What troubleshooting have you done? Start with a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. Are you syncing contacts with iCloud?

I was having trouble sending to hotmail accounts from my Earthlink account, they had me go into Mac Mail preferences and make changes (because they claimed it was Mac Mail's fault, even though the hotmail error code said it's because Earthlink is blocked by hotmail), now Mac Mail doesn't work AT ALL - any help changing the settings back to correct Mac Mail settings? I can provide a transcript of the entire tech chat session, if that will help...

both apostrophes are used correctly, thanks
doesn't = does not (this is called a contraction)
it's = it is
Mac Mail's fault = possessive
any help with the actual issue? thanks!
