How do I alphabetically sort people in a contact list?

I created a contact list of about 50 people. Their information was added at different times. It appears that every-time I added a contact it went to the end of the list. Is there a way to take the completed list and arrange it alphabetically by last name?

Address Book -> Preferences -> General, use the Sort By pop-up.

Why do all my incoming calls show unknown, even when they are from people in my contact list?

Hi Hedland,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may want to first check your caller ID settings, as mentioned in this article:
iPhone: Understanding phone features
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4515
Caller ID
iPhone (GSM networks)
Turn on or off in Settings > Phone
iPhone (CDMA networks)
Contact your carrier for information on using Caller ID
If your settings are correct, try the troubleshooting steps in our iPhone Assistant:

HT5463 how i can block particular number from my contacts list

how i can block particular number from my contacts list please guide me because even true caller software is also not supporting iphone

As Ocean20 said, there is no official function that does this built in. What you could do however is to find an app that mute calls that come from "blocked" numbers.

HT5361 How to send a mail to my entire contact list of my Mail app ?

How to send a mail to my entire contact list of my Mail app ?

Hello Madhu,
The only way to send an email without opening a client is: using server-side mail objects invoked by your app.
This would be the workflow:
- your user fills in form data (subject, body, mail_to)
- your application sends form data to a server (via httpservice or webservice or AMF)
- the server takes care of sending the mail in a way that is transparent to your user
So: it is not possible to send emails without opening the iPhone client (I think by "outlook" you mean the "mail client" with an Exchange account) for security reasons. You wouldn't want any app to send mails without you pressing "Send" in a known interface.

How Can I find my other line's contact list?

Hi,
How Can I find my other line's contact list? when I click "Messaging" on top menu, it shows all my line's contact list but I cannot change it to other line.
Thank you

If you are logged in with your number, then the backup assistant will give you the contacts that are backed up for that number. Is this what you mean by "messaging list"?
If you want to see the backup contact list for the OTHER numbers, then you need to register for a MyVerizon for EACH number (choosing from the drop down is NOT the same!)
To register the other numbers, you need to log out of your account (and may have to close the browser as well), then go to verizonwireless.com, and click REGISTER. Enter the other number(s) on your account and set up a username and password, and you will then be able to see the backup for THAT number only.
Secondary lines will see limited information on MyVerizon, and unless you have designated that number as a manager, they will not have all the options you do as the primary number.
HTH, and post back if you need more assistance.

My iphone 4 randomly dials people in my contact list.

My iphone 4 randomly dials people in my contact list. Any suggestions? It may be people in my Favorites list.

My wife's phone does this, as well as delete apps...it's because she doesn't bother to lock the phone when she puts it in her purse by tapping the sleep/wake button. Not saying this is the case with you, but I've seen this before & that's the reason why.

TS3274 Why can't I send text messages to some of my people in my contact list?

Why can't I send text messages to some of my people in my contact list? What do I have to do?

You can send imessages to anyone who is using an Apple device (recent models).It will try to go via wifi but if it can't then it will try to send as an SMS and for that you need cellular capability.
Does your iPad have cellular capability? If not then you can't send to non-Apple devices through iMessage.
Hope this helps a bit.

Receiving IMs from people outside my contact list

I am receiving IM's from people that I do not know even though I have selected my Privacy Settings to Allow IMs from People in my Contacts List ONLY! This feature does NOT work. Please fix this feature to protect all of us!

Hi, MarkJohn777, and welcome to the Community, What you are receiving are contact requests, or invitations, which arrive looking like instant messages. Skype does not provide for a way not to receive contact invitations, or to "opt out" of receiving contact requests. Please check the Windows Desktop Idea Board for ideas posted relating to this subject, and offer your support. Regards,Elaine

Can I have a ringtone for people on my contact list and a different tone for unknown people?

I want to have a ringtone for people one my contact list and a different tone for people not on my contact list, which for me is always commercial that I do not even want to pick up.

To do this, you would have to assign the ringtone to each contact individually, and then set the default tone to something different under the Sounds menu in Settings.

Only allow people in my Contact List to contact me...

In my Privacy settings, I have "Only allow people in my Contact list to contact me" checked, but I just recently, within the past week, started getting spam requests from people.
Why? I haven't touched my settings pretty much since I signed up (maybe at the beginning to get things right, but not within the past year and a half).

How to Control the Sorting Order of iPhone Contacts from Outlook?

In a series of editing steps we've loaded ca. 1,900 personal and business contacts from Outlook into a 1st gen iPhone with 2.0.1 software on it. To our surprise we found that while most of the entries were listed and sorted by company, certain entries were listed and sorted by the person's name. It looked random and there didn't seem to be any way to control it on the iPhone.
While troubleshooting the problem we synced up the iPhone with an empty Address Book on a MacBook Pro and found that the sort order flag was indeed set differently on these entries. When we changed the sorting flag of a contact in the Mac's Address Book to "Company" it also changed on the iPhone after the next sync.
Problem: In our business environment it is impossible to switch to Macs for contact administration. We need to do it from Outlook. This is one of several features needed for the adoption of iPhones.
Question: Is there a way to control this flag on the individual iPhone contact entries from Outlook Contacts?

Well, I think we figured it out.
Outlook doesn't offer a sorting flag on person or company name. Instead it uses a separate "File As" string. The problem with our contacts was that this "File As" string was frequently edited to be something else than exactly the personal or company name, e.g. it was set to an abbreviated company name. Once we set the "File As" to any of the defaults offered, i.e. person or company name, the sorting flag in iPhone was properly set through the synchronization.
Obviously, the application logic compares the content of these fields in Outlook and decides how to set the flag. If it can't find the company name in "File As" it defaults to person.
This was an expensive holdup for us. It cost us 2 man days to figure it out. Is there any place where such application logic is described?

HT1296 my calendar is showing all the birthdays listed against people in my contacts list a day earlier than they should. Why?

Since receiving a new iPhone 4S to replace a previous phone, my calendar is now showing all birthdays as being a day before the date they are listedon within my contacts list. Any ideas why and how to rectify?

I posted this question a while ago and didn't receive any responses but there are a lot of people who have viewed it and 10 have said they have the same question so I thought I would update you that I added my nanny to my exchange server account (created an email for her) and I send all invites to that email address and they work. So sending invites from an exchange server account to a non-exchange server account apparently is a bug so to solve it, get on an exchange server I guess.

How to send a number by SMS from contact list on 2...

Guys, I cracked my brains to solve how to send a number from contact list by SMS in 2630.
Maybe there's no such option at all?
Please help!!!
Message Edited by berzerk on 16-Dec-2008 09:24 PM

I don't think there is such an option on a limited phone like the 2630.
On phones running S60 such as the Nseries and Eseries devices (and a few others) there is an option to copy a number from the contacts into the clipboard and you can subsequently paste it into a new message. Older S40 phones like the 2630 don't have a clipboard facility to do copy/paste actions.

How Do I sync my iPhone 4 Phone Contact List to my iPhone 4s?

I just recieved my new iPhone 4s and I was able to sync most of the stuff from my iPhone 4 to it. However when it came to my contact list we're having an issue. I have a MacBook Pro i5 Dual Core processor running OS Lion but can't seem to know how to get it to synce my adress book with my iPhone 4 so I can make the transfer to the 4s. When I try to sync the contacts it tells me that they are already on icloud but why synced the new phone the Contact list synced was the one on my MacBook which isn't complete...What do I need to do and how do I get access to my iCloud account?

You can backup to iCloud, and restore that backup to your new phone. No requirement to use a PC anymore.
