How can I choose what default number my iPhone 4 chooses when I select a number with multiple contacts as a favorite?

Everytime I click on a contact to add to "My Favorites", it randomly selects the info that it will use as a default contact for that number, and recently it's only been choosing the e-mail for FaceTime (which not all of my contacts have) instead of the mobile number, which is what I would like to have it default to for each contact. Please Help!!!

Go to Phone > Favorites.
Select the + button to add a Favorite.
Select the phone number for the chosen contact that you want to add as a Favorite. You can add the cell phone number and the home number or office number as separate Favorites for one contact.
And I just used the Add to Favorites option for a contact. When I selected Add to Favorites for a contact with more than one phone number entry, I'm provided a list of the phone numbers to choose from for the number to be added to Favorites.

  • How can I change the default number for a contact when using Siri

    My husband has one mobile for work, one for home, both are in my favorites. When i'd ask Siri to dial his number, it would always ask me which one to use. Recently when calling him Siri asked if I would like to use his work number as the default and I mistakenly agreed. Now Siri never asks which number to dial and always dials the work number. How can I change that? I would like to make the default the home number.

    Thanks all for your responses.
    I tried to "order" Siri to change my husband's default number and whatever syntax I used for my request Siri responded with a web search on how to set favorites.
    So I ended up deleting the work number from my husband's contact information and I used Siri to call him a couple of times. After 24 hours (random time frame) I added his work mobile back to his contact information, but not in the favorites.
    SIri now dials his home number because it's the only one in the favorites.
    I'll add it to the favorites in due course.

  • In Contacts version 8, how can I print ALL information in each individual card? When I select the print command the only thing printed is the name and address. I need phone number(s) and all other information in the cards.

    In Contacts version 8, how can I print ALL information in each individual card? When I select the print command the only thing printed is the name and address. I need phone number(s) and all other information in the cards. We enter various pieces of data, other than the standard name address & phone numbers and we print all information on each card so it fits in a 5x7 inch loose binder. We have used InTouch software for many years and it has served us extremely welll, however, the publisher (The Prairie Group) has not, and apparently has no plans to update their software to be compatible with any Mac OSX OS beyond 10.6. Any help will be appreciated!

    You can select what you want included in a list format. In the Print command from Contacts, click the Show Details button. Then in the Style pulldown menu select "Lists" and there you'll be able to select what you want included. You can also select what you wish included if you select the Pocket Address Book style.
    If neither of those options will work for you, then you will need to look to third-party software. Here's one possibility that seems to get good reviews:

    I haven't done more than try it to make sure that it works with OS X 10.9's Contacts, which it does, but you can download their demo and try it yourself.
    Regards.

    Unfortunately you need an airprint enabled printer to print from an iOS device. There are some work arounds but they are very complicated and aren't proven to work 100%. From what I understand through rumors they are working on allowing all wireless printers to work with iOS but at the moment that's a pipedream. I don't know how important it is but if you really need to print from iPhone you can find some great AirPrint printers on Ebay for decent prices. Good Luck!

    You mean for an iPhone 4S?  You can't.  Yo can only update an iPhone 4S to iOS 8.1.3.
    The only iPhone that can currently download iOS 6 is an iPhone 3GS.

  • How can I change the location name my iPhone pulls up when I am home. The info that pulls is not correct?

    How can I change the location name my iPhone pulls up when I am home. The info that pulls is not correct?

    If the size of the iPhone backup is putting you over the edge you have bigger problems than just this backup. You really need to solve the fundamental problem of your C: partition being too small. Even if you could solve the iPhone problem something else will come up soon that will again challenge your disk space. New drives can be had for well under $100, and even a 500 GB drive is only a little more than $100. This would be a good time to upgrade. You can even clone your current drive AND increase the partition size in one step with disk imaging software such as Acronis True Image.

  • HT201269 how can i tell what phone number is associated to what Iphone in my itunes account? I currently have 5 iphones

    I have 5 iphones associated to my itunes account but I can't tell what number is associated to what phone. Two of the iphones are no longer in use. Help please!

    Find the number on your phone using the Settings app. Then connect that phone and only that phone to iTunes. Select that phone in iTunes and double click on it. This will allow you to change the name of that phone. Change the name to something that identifies the number. Do this for all phones. They can then be all connected at the same time and you will be able to identify which is which.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Unfortunately, since Front Row has no preferences you can actually change, there's no way to change the screen now. (Besides the work arounds you've already discovered.) I would send Apple some Mac OS X feedback (since Front Row is considered part of OS X, not a stand-alone application) and let them know you'd like to be able specify the screen. You're not the first person here to ask for that option.

  • How can I prevent Firefox from opening the file I create when I print a page with PDF Create! 5

    After I print a web page using PDF Create! 5, Firefox opens the file so i can view it. Before I print, I select print properties and disable "view resulting pdf". However, the file is always opened in Adobe Acrobat, although I believe I have Adobe Reader set as default. I do not want any file to open. This happens on my non-privileged accounts. On my privileged account, the file is not opened. I have removed Firefox profiles, re-installed Firefox, Reset Firefox in Help-Troubleshooting. PDF Create!5 print screen can only be viewed in a host program such as Firefox, Libre-office Writer, or any other program that prints. They do not open the file either.

    Thanks for your help. This is the Scansoft (Nuance) program. What I do not understand is why when I tell the print driver not to open the file with a privileged account, it obeys me. I am not sure where in the registry I would look for the information. I do not want to, but perhaps I should remove the Adobe Acrobat program (temporarily?) - then what would it do? Again, when I print from other programs - browsers, wordprocessors, etc - the file is not opened after printing, just with FireFox. I guess I can live with it, I have spent too much time already.

  • How can I change the default location ipad/iphone pictures are stored in on my desktop?

    So here's my dilemma.  I have lightroom mobile on my ipad and iphone.  Seamlessly, lightroom mobile pushes these images to my desktop and saves them in a folder in windows.  I use an SSD and would prefer not doing read/writes to it that are unnecessary.  What makes the default location problematic is that I can't seem to change it.  Further, when I sync my ipad/iphone to my windows desktop using a cable, I will now have duplicates of images that were synced via lightroom mobile.  So, it would be infinitely simpler, I think, if lightroom mobile would sync ipad/iphone images to a directory I specify, on a supplemental hard drive for instance, and using dates for folder names rather than some default directory on my main drive where they are just dumped.

    Currently, Lightroom saves the images in a directory structure under a folder named "Mobile Downloads.lrdata", which is created in the same folder as the catalog file.
    For example, an image will be saved as:
    Windows = C:\Users\<username>\Pictures\Lightroom\Mobile Downloads.lrdata\<random hexadecimal name>\picture1.jpg
    Mac = Users/<username>/Pictures/Lightroom/Mobile Downloads.lrdata/<random hexadecimal name>/picture1.jpg
    you want to change the location of this "Mobile Downloads.lrdata" to another path.
    You should file an Idea, AKA Feature Request, to the Feedback site:
    http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family
    If there is enough people voting for it, the Product Managers will evaluate it and eventually apply it to a future version.
    It's your interest to advertise the Idea in order to increase the number of votes (I would vote for it).
    There is another similar discussion in the forum (How do i change the location of 'Mobile Downloads.lrdata' ?), I am posting the same answer there.

  • Moving home - how can I leave my phone number with...

    Hi all,
    I've searched but not found an answer to this one. I want to:
    1) Move my phone line to a new property 
    2) Set up a new account for the current property (for someone still living there)
    3) Move my current phone number, to the new account, on the current property.
    To be clear - I don't want to move my phone number to my new property. I want to move my phone number to a new account - held by someone else - on the existing property.
    My question: what is the best way of arranging this? Can BT provide account management for a complex move?
    Read on for gory details of how we find ourselves in this mess.
    A short history - how I lost my partner's father's phone number
    A few months ago, my partner and I moved in with my partner's father (hereafter: PF) while we prepared to buy a new property. At this point we had no property to move our still-in-contract BT package to.
    BT told us that to prevent a large charge for the remainder of our minimum term period, we should move the account to PF's house, but keep 'putting off' the installation until we had a new address to have the service re-instated.
    When it came close to the original installation date (you can specify a maximum of a couple months from move date), I asked BT to 'put off' the installation by a few weeks. They obliged. 
    What BT didn't mention was that the current account holder (PF) would automatically have their line/number disconnected, and account closed, on the orginal installation day. My 'putting off' of my installation day had no effect on the disconnection, thus PF was left without a working phone. Worse, the phone number (held for ~20 years) was lost.
    After much wrangling with BT, we managed to get my line installation expedited, and PF's phone number attached to my line.
    The current state: PF has no BT account. I have the same BT account I've always had, but with PF's phone number.
    My partner and I will move out ASAP. PF wants to have his own BT account, and his own phone number. If necessary, I can close my BT account.
    Thanks for reading!
    My life is in your hands lovely BTCare people (you should meet PF...)

  • How can i get kinect serial number with KinectSDK1.8

    Now I'm getting depth datas and color datas from 4 Kinect with Kinect SDK 1.8.
    I use Windows 8, Visual Studio 2013, Kinect SDK 1.8 and Kinect v1 × 4
    /***** getINuiSensor Instance *****/
    INuiSensor* sensor;
    HRESULT result = S_OK; // device_id : 0～3
    result = NuiCreateSensorByIndex((int)std::stoi(device_id),&sensor);
    But this way, the couple of the Kinect and "device_id" 
    such as the order of the device connection is changed.
    Therefore, in order to specify the device to start more explicitly,
    I would like to know how to get the serial number of kinect on Windows.
    I know the way that There is a way to get INuiSensor Instance 
    by a serial number getting from the device manager with OpenNI.
    With Kinect SDK, how to get the INuiSensor Instance using the serial number ?
    If Kinect SDK have no way it, please tell me some good ideas about that.

    The serial number is printed on the sensor. We do not provide an api that gives you the serial number of the device.
    As for the api you are using, that will only provide a unique identifier for the port the device is connected to. Plugging in another Kinect device to the same USB2 port will get you the same value. See other threads that discuss this.
    There is nothing at a Kinect SDK level that will allow you to identify the exact device. You may need to look at Win32/OS level api's to see what is exposed through the raw driver. A tool to query the device that will let you see what these api's can provide
    is USBView.

  • How can I highlight the default data in a numeric control when a VI loads.

    I have a VI that features a string constant that asks for a numeric response via a numeric control, a "next" button that enters the data (controlled by the enter key), and two leds, one that lights if the data entered is correct, and one that lights if the data entered is incorrect.  Is there anyway that I can make sure that when this VI loads, the zero in the numeric control is highlighted?
    Currently the opeator must use the mouse to highlight the zero in the numeric control, type the number and press enter ("next") to advance in the program.  I want the operator to be able to simply type the number after the VI loads and press enter.  This would require the zero to be highlighted when the VI loads.
    Is there anyway that I can format the numeric control to do this?

    If you set the key focus of the control to true (Right click on
    control->Create->Property Node, then on the property node, select
    "Key Focus") before anything else, it should be highlighted when you
    run the program.
