How do i edit numbers in the recent call list?

I'm using iOS 5.0.1 on the 4s currently
Can anyone tell me how to edit the contact numbers in the recent call list? Eg. I would need to add a certain prefix in front of the number to return an overseas call in my recent call list. I tried to copy n paste the number after adding the prefix manually via keypad, but this method erases the prefix. Is there any other way to do this besides saving a different number in my contact list?

As it happens, I use my "Recent Applications" menu as a list of "favourite" apps more than as a way to access recent apps. I won't go into too many details of "why", but I do have the "Finder" in there.
I am using "Panther" so I don't know if this still works, but try opening "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Terminal.app" and entering this command:<pre>defaults write com.apple.recentitems apps -array-add '/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app'</pre>It may be necessary to log out and back in again for the change to take effect, or the change at least may only be active in apps launched after modification of the file. There may also be issues related to the number of items in the list - it may be necessary to increase the "Number of recent Applications" through "System Preferences", or else clearing the list before entering the above command.
I also keep my "com.apple.recentitems.plist" file "locked" - this prevents items from being dropped through non-use. Despite being "locked", the menu does update during a login session so I still get some "recent item" functionality from the menu. Everything does of course revert to the saved state for the next login, however.
Regarding the "Dock", in "Panther", after "hiding" the "Dock", it is relatively easy to "pause" or restart it, repectively, using:<pre>killall -STOP Dock
killall -CONT Dock</pre>Perhaps these commands could be incorporated into an "AppleScript" application and added to "Recent Applications". However, you will also lose the use of ⌘-Tab application switching, Exposé, widgets, and the ability to minimize windows while the "Dock" is paused. Alternatively, there are a number of preference settings that can be applied to the Dock's ".plist" file to minimize its obtrusiveness without affecting other "Dock.app" functions. However, it will be more difficult to toggle between the two states than simply pausing the whole app...

  • I can't save my contacts through the recent call list or through a message !!! Help!

    I can't save a number from like my messages when a number text me that I don't have on my phone and I can't save it through the recent call list either. I have to manually do it from my contacts! Help!! Please

    The things is, I have access to all the severs with all the permissions.
    I don't have that option. But I tried something new. I've put all the files in one big folder on my desktop,. It seems to work that way. It's weird cause I don't have that problem with the other adobe apps.
    Thank you.

  • HT2458 How do i make my voicemail look kind of like my recent calls list?

    Right now i have to Call my voice mail but my friend told me that you could make your voicemail a list like the recent calls list. Please help me i am super confused.

    if your with an official US carrier what you are refering to is visual voicemail. 
    Go to settings then general, then Cellular.
    There turn cellular data off, then back on.
    Now go to voicemail and add your voicemail password, now you should have visual voicemail.

  • Is there a way to save the "recent calls" log/list?

    I would like to be able to document the calls made to particular clients.  The info I want to document/save is shown on recent calls (newest iPhone).  Is there a way to copy/paste or otherwise capture this information so it can be printed?
    Thanks!

    There's no way to print this from the phone.  You could take screen shots of the recent call list, the email the picture to yourself and print from there.  Also, some (perhaps many) carriers provide your call history when you log into your account on their website, which would give you another printing option.

  • RECENT CALLS LIST

    How do I clear just "one" selected entry in the recent calls list. The menue presents me with a "CLEAR ALL" button - but don't want to do that yet.

    Unfortunately, you can't delete them one at a time. Perhaps a software update in the future will provide this functionality. Until then you can leave feedback for apple here:

    Can you view the entire Recent Call List Limit from the screen?
    Today, as I would delete a call from the list, an older call would appear at the bottom of the list.
    Thanks!

    The Recent call list will display the last 100 calls.
    You can scroll through the list to see from the beginning to end.

  • My recent calls list shows 4294967295 missed calls

    The recent calls list is not working at all. Do you have a solution for me its pretty anoying?! I also restored my iphone twice with no succes!

    Try this: Force quit the Phone App by double tapping the Home button and swipe upwards on the App preview for "Phone"
    if if this doesn't work:
    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
    No content is affected by this procedure.

  • N82 recent calls list bug

    I have noticed in the recent calls list on my N82 that a mobile phone icon is shown no matter what type of call you have made or received, eg: if you make or receive a call to or from a home/telephone number that is listed in your contacts, you will only see the mobile phone icon in the recent calls list, this is a major firmware bug because when you check your recent calls you won't be able to tell if the call dialed or received was from or to a mobile or home/telephone number.
    Can someone confirm this is infact a bug, or am i the only one.
    Thanks!

    Yes, I've the same problem on my N82.
    This is not acceptable since this is a simple standard phone feature in today's mobile phone.
    I love my N82 except this BIG bug.

    You can't delete the All On My Mac as it is an automatic group to display all of the contacts that are stored "On My Mac." You can delete all of the contacts that are in the ON MY MAC section by selecting All ON My Mac and then selecting all contacts. Press delete and approve the deletion. Then, select each group under ON My Mac and delete those individually.
    Then, Make sure iCloud is set as the default account in the General Address Book Preferences.
