How do I get "iPhone" to show up as a mobile device when I edit contacts?

Hi Chimbo,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you want to change the label associated with a contact's phone number. See the iPhone User Guide for the steps:
http://support.apple.com/manuals/#iphone
Pg. 101 says:
Edit a contact: Choose a contact, then tap Edit. You can:
• Change a field label: Tap the label and choose a different one. To add a new field, tap Add Custom Label.
Regards,
Jeremy

    I believe this is more about the default settings of the pop-ups. I have tried the 3 methods above and they have not solved my issue.
    As I have stated before this issue is not happening with other web browsers.
    Mozilla is better compatible with the program I am running.
    It seems you know your way around Mozilla so pleas help.
    P.S. I have taken screen shots and attached them to a word doc so I could best illustrate my issue with commentary and arrows but it will not save to my post. I have even tried posting it as a PDF.

  • My iphone has calendar history for 10 years.  my icloud only shows about 6-8 weeks back.  how can i get icloud to show all the calendar events in the past that are on iphone?

    my iphone has calendar history for 10 years.  my icloud only shows about 6-8 weeks back.  how can i get icloud to show all the calendar events in the past that are on iphone?

    I encountered a similar problem when finally (and with much regret) I was obliged to migrate my MobileMe to iCloud last month.
    Many years of iCal history vanished without trace during this automated transition by Apple and iCloud then kindly synched the resulting vacuum back to iCal on my Mac.
    Fortunately, iCloud wasn’t able to decimate iCal on my other Macs because (1) they are still running Snow and (2) I had switched them off as a precaution.  Good job I did.
    My solution was to export my iCal data on one of those other Macs to a backup file – then I imported that backup file into my Lion-updated Mac’s iCal. That restored all the iCloud-deleted iCal data back on to my Mac and this was promptly synched automatically to my Calendar on iCloud.  So now it’s all there and showing.
    Perhaps you could do something similar?  In the meantime, be very careful not to let iCloud’s amnesia get synched to your iPhone (and other devices).
    Experience has taught me never to trust an “upgrade” until it is proven to be working correctly and always to keep in reserve another Mac with a properly-functioning system and all synching to it switched off...

  • After updating to iOS 7 the contact photos no longer appear when I receive a call. How can I get them to show again?

    After updating to iOS 7 the contact photos no longer appear when I receive a call. How can I get them to show again?

    I'm having the identical problem on my iPhone 4 after upgrading to IOS 7--no ability to update apps or download new apps.  Here is what Apple tech support emailed to me:
    I understand that you are unable to download or update applications after updating iOS7 on your iTunes. I know you must be eager to get this resolved and I will be happy to help you today.
    ... to help you better with this issue I would request you to please try this steps given below to resolve your issue.
    Please follow this steps:
    1) Double tap the home button
    2) Hold down on an icon
    3) Tap the red "X" on iTunes, and the App Store.
    4) Tap Settings > Store > Tap your Apple ID, and choose sign out
    5) Tap Settings
    6) Tap General
    7) Tap Reset
    8) Tap Network Settings
    Once it has been closed with multi-tasking, and you have rebooted the device in the network settings reset, please sign in, and try again. 
      Howevr, if you are facing the same issue than for this issue, you may need to call our AppleCare technical support team. A technical Advisor will be able to tell you about Apple's complimentary and fee-based support. The technical Advisor can also assist you in determining what option might be most helpful to you in this case.
    Mildly amusing that the instructions for force-closing a program are the IOS 6 instructions, which do not work on IOS 7. 
    Otherwise I'm having a little success with this.  Some apps (not all) are updating. It seems that a few more apps update each time I go through the process (close everything, sign out, and either reset or reboot, then go to the app store, sign in and try to update all).  So far it has been a very lengthy, iterative process. 

  • How Do I Get Siri To Show Me The "Now Playing" Screen?

    When I'm driving, it's great to be able to push the home button and get Siri to play a playlist or all songs from an artist.
    But how do I get her to show me the Now Playing screen? When you say "show me the 'now playing' screen," (or just about anything similar), she searches the Web. That's not what I want. What is the command to get Siri to switch to the iPod "Now Playing" so I don't have to manually tap through to that screen (and take eyes off the road)?  This should be simple, but I can't seem to figure it out.
    Thanks!

    You can let Apple know you want this feature.

  • How can i get iphone 4s to remind me of missed calls

    how can i get iphone 4s to remind me of missed calls

    No, not even your phone will give you a missed call sound.  It just shows a red number in the top right corner of the phone app if you have a missed call/voicemail.  If you open the phone app and see who called, that number will disappear.  So if you want to be reminded to call that person later, then you need to create a reminder in your reminder app to remind you at a specific day/time to call them back.  Hopefully that all makes sense.

  • I downloaded a WMA audiobook from library using Overdrive. It shows up on my Itunes listing of Audiobooks on my Ipod, but on the actual Ipod it only shows up on Playlists. How do I get it to show up under Audiobooks?

    I downloaded a WMA audiobook from library using Overdrive. It shows up on my Itunes listing of Audiobooks on my Ipod, but on the actual Ipod it only shows up on Playlists.  It is marked as an audiobook in Options | Media Kind.  It is also marked to Remeber Position, but it does not do that. How do I get it to show up under Audiobooks and remember the position?  I have a 4th Gen Ipod running Ios5

    Check out the instructions for a work around on this post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18702732#18702732
    This worked for me.  I would like to see Apple fix this issue, as it isn't very fun to have to do this for every downloaded book.
