How can I add an icon for a contact to the home screen?

New to iPhone and can't find a way to add a shortcut/icon for an individual contact to the home screen. I have looked in the user's guide and searched the web but no luck other than suggestions to download some type of app. This function has been available on two different Android phones I've used the past several years. Surely the iPhone has this capability???

That is not a standard feature on the iPhone. There are many features available on one and not the other.

  • How can I add an icon for an application into the dock?

    I just installed an application that I will using often, but I cannot add it to the dock for some reason. I tried dragging it from the applications menu but that didn't work. How can I get it on the dock? Thanks in advance

    Launch the application and then press the Control key or hold down the mouse/trackpad button while clicking on its icon in the Dock; choose Keep In Dock from the menu which appears.

  • How do I remove an icon that I added to the Home Screen in Safari?

    I accidentally added a webpage icon to my Home Screen in Safari and cannot remove it.  On the Home Screen the icons do not act like they do on the other  pages of the iPad.  They do not jiggle nor can they be dragged to be removed.  In the process of trying to get rid of some I ended up creating duplicates.  How can I delete some of these?

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

  • Is it possible to make an icon for a movie on the home screen?

    Is there a way to make a direct icon for movie instead of going into the "Videos" icon? 

    If there is a website that plays your movie, then you can go to safari, type the website in, open the page, then tap the share arrow, then tap add to home screen. Thats as close to it that you can get.

  • How do I add multiple emails for one contact to the same group list?

    When trying to set up a group email list using address book, is there a way to include multiple emails for the same contact to one group.  For example I'm trying to set up a baseball team group email.  Some kids want emails sent to both mom and dad which have different emails.  I currently have them in my address book as the boy's name with the emails listed as mom and dad.  I can add one "mom" to the list but when I compose the email, it will use the most recent email used.  I would like the group to contain both addresses for mom and dad without setting up to different contacts for the same player.

    var cToAddr = this.getField("saManager").value + ";" + this.getField("ManagerEmail").value;

  • My macbook will only turn on to a blue screen  how can i restart it so it turns on to the home screen?

    So last week my macbook froze and wouldn't respond. So i restarted it and now the computer wont turn on past this light blue welcome screen with a thinking sign. Any recommendations?

    That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
    Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    Or if you are running 10.7 Lion, boot from the recovery partition (Command +R on boot) and use Disk Utility to repair your OS 10.7 partition.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
    If it is, then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions. After repairing use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for restarting from your hard drive.
    If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead.

  • HT3500 How can I add WPS (pin)  [for a WiFi capable CAMERA] to Time Capsuale WiFi

    Hi,
    How can I add WPS (pin)  [for a WiFi capable CAMERA] to Time Capsuale WiFi network?
    Regards

    I suggest that you use the Add Wireless Clients feature in AirPort Utility.
    Normally, this feature is used to add a wireless printer, but it will work with any wireless device.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Select the Time Capsule and click Manual Setup
    Click the Base Station tab at the very top of the screen
    Click Add Wireless Clients

    Hi
    i want to create a xml file with the following content:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <OpenSearchDescription xmlns="http://...."> 
    </OpenSearchDescription>
    i did this with the if_ixml interface and rendered the content in a file 'D:\usr\sap\IFD\DVEBMGS01\log\TEST_out.xml
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <OpenSearchDescription xmlns="http://...."> 
    </OpenSearchDescription>
    BUT the document attribut(?) encoding="UTF-8"?> is missing!
    How can i add encoding with value UTF-8 to the document object?? it should look like:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    *here is my coding.
    TYPE-POOLS: ixml.
    CLASS cl_ixml DEFINITION LOAD.
    DATA: lo_ixml           TYPE REF TO if_ixml,

    Thanks for help
    Britta

    Use the following code:
    set an document encoding
      l_encoding = l_ixml->create_encoding( character_set = 'UTF-8'
                                            byte_order = if_ixml_encoding=>co_none ).
      l_success  = l_ostream->set_encoding( encoding = l_encoding ).
    create a xml renderer
      l_renderer = l_ixml->create_renderer( document = l_doc ostream  = l_ostream ).

  • How can I add photos to a video without interrupting the sound of the original video?

    In PE11, How can I add photos to a video without interrupting the sound of the original video?

    RLHeflin
    Thanks for getting your details posted. Good job.
    You further explained
    I am simply wanting to “overlay” a new visual element without disturbing the underlying audio.
    A classical way to do a Premiere Elements Overlay is to hold down the Ctrl key of the computer main keyboard and drag the new clip over the area of the one you want to replace on the Timeline. That should not do anything but replace one portion of the video on the Timeline. No change in duration video or audio track if you are dealing with video linked to audio.
    If you hold down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard, I am envising a scenario where you want to add to (not replace) some Timeline content.
    A just in case note, if you have video on Video 1 and 2 and the video in 2 does not have transparent areas in it, then all you will see is the Video 2 content. I believe that Hunt eluded to that concept as a possible technique for what you might be doing.
    Another just in case, if you have not seen the following Adobe documentation on arranging clips, you might be interested in the following link

  • How can you add a 2nd i Tunes account on the same computer?

    How can you add a 2nd i Tunes account to the same computer?

    I had an application where I spawned (= ran with Start Asynchronous Call) multiple (reentrant) copies of VIs, and would occasionally "lose control" of them.  I needed a way to find all VIs that were running "Top Level" and stop them (so I didn't have to log off from Windows).
    I used the Application Property "All VIs in Memory" to get an array of (wait for it ...) All VIs in Memory.  I took each name, opened a VI reference to it (simply wire the name string in, as the VI is, by definition, "in memory"), looked at its VI Execution State, and if it was Run Top Level, Invoked the FP.Close and Abort VI Methods.  [To prevent the VI that did all this from "committing Suicide", I compared the name string with the current Call Chain, and did nothing if there was a match].
    I think you could adopt this idea to do what you need.

  • How can I set a default for webpages to expand to full screen?

    How can I set a default for webpages to expand to full screen? Every webpage I go to does not expand to a full screen which causes me to have to ctrl+++ each time. How can I set my preference to expand to full screen automatically?
    Thanks.

    The Firefox [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Page+Zoom Page Zoom] feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox, as with some other browsers.
