How can I get the parenthesis to work in contacts

I have the iPhone 4s from Verizon.
When I add contacts using recently called numbers, or when I add a new contact directly, the phone numbers seem to get entered simply as a string of 10 numbers.  I am pretty sure it used to automatically put it into this form (xxx) xxx-xxxx which I liked.
I would like to know how to get this formating to work (automatically) again.  BTW, I checked my region settings and it is still set for USA.
Thanks,
Robin

    I have just won an iphone 3gs in a raffle but when i put in my sim it tells me that it is not supported how can i get the iphone to work?

    In that case the procedure assuming it is a PAYG phone is to get an o2 PAYG sim, put £20 on it and then make a few calls making sure you leave £15 on the sim to pay for the unlock. Then there is an online unlock request form on the o2 site just fill this in. It takes between 1-14 days and you get a message from o2 telling you how to complete the official unlock through iTunes.
    I got my o2 unlock in nov 09 so this is not just opinion.

  • How can i get the SSO to work successfully?

    How can i get the SSO to work successfully?  I followed the note for configuring infoview with ad sso using kerveros & .net.
    Adding the AD group into the win ad authentication configuration page creates the user group but the members of the group aren't being pulled in when I go to the group and select / query the users tab

    Bart,
    By default the setting for update options on the Windows AD tab of authentication does not actually create the aliases until the user attempts to login the first time. We set it this way to prevent a huge group of alias's being created when the administrator sets up Windows AD and also so that only user aliases for users actually using the system get created.  You can change this behaviour though if you like.  Simply change the radio button option to 'New Aliases will be added and new users will be created' this will create the accounts for you when you hit the update button.  If you have a large group your adding I would wait until and afterhours time when you have less activity as this will impact CMS performance while it creates all the accounts.

    HOW CAN I GET FIREFOX SPELLCHECK TO WORK

    I have tried changing the volume both by using the volume buttons on the side and through settings.  I have updated all the apps. Closed and reopened a million times hoping it was just a one time deal but I have had continuous problems since the update on my ipad.
    I love the update on my iphone but for some reason the ipad did not adjust well.  I really would like to get it fixed because I love my ipad but there is no use when the apps an volume do not work.

  • TS3274 How can I get the volume to work?

    We have an iPad but can't get the volume to work?

    Alright now if you are talking about issues using Safari, here a few things that you can try.
    1. Quit Safari completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    2. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    3. Clear Safari. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • How can I get the volume to work on my ipad after the iOS 7.02 update?

    The performance of my ipad plummeted after the iOS 7 and 7.0.2 updates. The apps crash and some do not work at all and worst of all, my volume does not work at all. Is there a way I can at least get the volume to work?
    I was planning on purchasing a MacBook Pro but with all these issues I am reconsidering.

  • How can I get the keyboard to work ?

    I am using a Windows disc that has multiple software versions of the Windows OS and must choose A-J to get the Windows XP-SP2 version. The problem is that at this point of the install there does not appear to be any drivers for keyboard function. I am using Leopard. I don't believe I had this issue with Tiger. I have tried using the original Apple keyboard which does not work at this point. I have an old windows KB but it does not have a USB plug. Is there a way to get keyboard function at this point of the install. Thank you in advance for any advice.

    I want to clarify my problem. When Boot Camp starts and brings you to the windows screen,this is where my problem exists. I have a corporate cd that has multiple Windows programs on it, Window XP SP2 being one of them. This is choice G. At this point in the start up I have no keyboard control. I did try removing all USB devices and used the original Mac keyboard with no luck. Interestingly I did not have this issue in tiger, I think. Some how prior to Leopard I was able to access the choice in the DOS screen. I'm thinking that this may be an issue with the firmware but I am not sure. The firmware is up to date. If you have any other suggestions other than spending $200 on a Windows XP disc I would love to hear about it. If I open the Corporate DVD I can find what I need and make a disc but I don't know how to make it bootable . Many thanks.

  • Q: G40, How can I get the USB to work? Error message: go to a srink...

    I have a Thinkpad G40 2388 A9G and the computer is running full so I decided to clean up and in that connection I bought a 16 GB SanDisk mini Cruzer to copy files to from the G40 harddisk. However, now I have spend all day to get this to work and it still does not work. When I plug de USB stick in I do see the one of the two drives, namely E: which is the one with programmes, however I do not see F: which I should use as storage. When I click on E I can from there click on F, however then I receive this eror message: This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Go to the sysadm. I do have adminsuitrator rights and other memory sticks work ok on G40 just as weel as the mini cruzer works fine on other laptops. I thought that maybe it is the driver. However the system claims that I have the most recent driver (from 31 january 2001 which I find a bit old). I have checked the websites from windows, Sandisk and Lenovo. On the Lenovo website it is stated that the USB driver is the one I have, however then it is mentioned that it is for Windows 98E. My OS is Windows XP Pro.
    I am about to give up, can someone help?? What do I need to do??
    Thanks.

    Error 1015 points to an unauthorized downgrade of the iOS or a jailbreak and then attempting to restore to an authorized iOS. The person you bought it from likely jailbroke the device. Use Google to fine a solution as we can't help you with jailbroken devices.
