How do you add an extension to a phone number in iCloud?

I just attempted to edit a contact's business telephone by adding an extension to the end.
Here's what the number looked like to start: (212) 555-1234
My goal: (212) 555-1234 x101
What resulted in iCloud when I hit save: 2125551234101
I tried several different ways of formatting the addition of the extension, but none worked. The results all ended up exactly the same. Anyone have any insight as to how to make this work?
Thanks much!

From what I read, using a comma to separate the main number from the extension should work. It inserts a pause, with each additional comma increasing the length of the pause. So:
4155551234,,3710484
might be long enough for the automated system to pick up and reach the point where it'll accept the extension number. If not, add more commas.
Commas will also sync to your iPhone if you have one, and work as intended.

How can you add an extension to a phone number

How is it possible to add an extension to a phone number in contacts, so that when you call the number its extension direct dials?

To begin, determine which contact you want to add the phone extension to
Then, in either your phone app or Contacts app, tap that contact
Tap the "Edit" button at the top right of the contact
Tap the phone number you want to add the extension to
Tap the "+*#" button at the bottom left of the screen
When the new options come up on the screen, you'll see a "pause" button at the bottom center. Tap that
That will add a comma to the phone number. After the comma has been added to the phone number, type in the person's phone extension

HT2486 How do you enter an extension to a phone number in contacts?

How do you enter an extension to a phone number in contacts?

From OSX daily:The easiest way is through your iPhone or add a semicolon ";" NOT a comma in Mac Address book .
Though you’ve long been able to add automatically dialed extensions to contacts on the iPhone, the newest versions of iOS handle extensionsmuch more intelligently, allowing you to create a “Dial Extension” button to any specific contact. That extension dialer can be activated manually, making the navigation of telephony menus infinitely easier, here’s how to quickly add this to a contact:
Open Contacts and tap the contact name to add the extension to, then tap the “Edit” button
Tap the phone number entry, place the cursor at the end, then tap the “+*#” button to access additional options
Choose “wait” then enter the extension afterwards, it will add a semicolon and the extension afterwards to the address appearing like so: 1-888-555-5555;123
Tap “Done” and exit out of contacts
Now dial the contact to discover a “Dial 123″ button has appeared, tap that whenever you want to dial the extension
The extensions can also be added from a Mac in Contacts (Address Book) by adding a semicolon to numbers followed by an extension, just be sure to sync it through the same iCloud account or it won’t go over to the iPhone.
Anyone who frequently uses extensions to reach specific people at an office, or anyone who has battled an automated phone system knows how useful this can be. You can even set a string of numbers, though the Dial button remains the same.

Anyone know how to add an extension to a phone number in Address Book? And even better, how to create a pause when I call, so the extension is entered?

How do I add an extension to the phone number in Contacts.

I want to add phone extensions to the main phone number in contacts. How do I do it?

4155551234,,3710484

How do I add an extension to a phone number in Contacts 7.1?

Now that the perfectly servicable Address Book has been replaced by overly complicated Contacts 7.1 in OS 10.8.3, I cannot add an extention to a telephone number. A phone number with an extention ends up looking like "4155551234ext3710484". Creating a new field named "ext" doesn't help, as any number entered into this field that is longer than 3 digits is autoformated to a phone number. Some of my contacts now have 6 digit extensions!
Contacts Help is no help whatsoever. Very frustrating.

TA38622 how do you delete a contact name and phone number from this? i have deleted it from my regular contacts, but it remains in a text memory when i begin to type the beginning of a name

How do I delete a contact name and phone number from my texting memory? I have deleted this contact from my regular contact information; however when I text and begin to text a contact beginning with the 1st letter of the name I had deleted, it brings up the old, deleted contact information in my texting history only.

You would have to restore as new.

How do you set a contact's default phone number

I have contacts that have multiple numbers. I would like to such one from mobile to iphone and was wondering how it is done.

I think you mean "switch" instead of "such" - you're trying to have the phone number show up as an iPhone in contacts instead of a mobile phone.
If so, open the contact, click "Edit" in the upper right, click "mobile" and change it to "iPhone".

How do I display an extension to a phone number

Many of the numbers that I call since switching jobs have extensions. Can they be added to the phone number listing as shown when making a call? Currently, I have been adding the 'notes' field to the contact lists when someone or a particular department needs to be accessed. I find it confusing sometimes and would like it displayed even though it may not dial it. Can it be displayed?

You should be able to add the extension to your contact by tapping Edit, then adding a pause at the end of the number (tap the +*# key on the keyboard to get the pause button), then add the extension and tap Done.

How do you send an iMessage with my phone number, not an email address

Ever since I have had this iPhone on pay as you go with Vodafone in September, I have not had an option to use my phone number, it doesn't bother me as such but my friends get annoyed as one hour I'd reply on text as their contact and the next it will use iMessage when I have Internet as my apple Id email address. How do I do this!!!!

There is no option, just emails. I signed out of apple Id and signed back in, it asked me to use either my number of email so I deselected my email but the phone number was greyed out, it hasn't activated again so I don't think it has worked.

TS3989 How do you add more people to a shared photostream in iCloud

I have set up a shared photostream and a couple of people have access . I want to expand the access to more people - how do I do this without deleting the photostream and starting again?

Dear Tildeline,
The above answer was for the iPad.
To add/delete people or delete the stream on your iPhone, tap on the little blue arrow on the right side of your photostream, in the photostream overview tab within the Photos app (do not go inside the stream).
Best regards,
Thibaut

How Do You Add Multiple CSS Rules to Text?

Hi everyone, I have these css rules in my css styles window they are all assigned to some text in a cell on my page.
.Def14grey4 <body>
.def14grey4 a:link <a>
.def14grey4 a:visited <a>
.def14grey4 a:hover <a>
.def14grey4 a:active <a>
.def14grey4 a:focus <a>
How do you add (all of) these styles to the text in the first place, I know how to add the first one (.Def14grey4), you select the text in the cell and choose the rule from the drop-down menu in the css panel, but how do you add the other ones to some text as well, so that it can have the same link properties.
Basically I have some more text elsewhere on the page and want to assign these rules to that as well.
thanks Gareth

You would want to change your order as shown here -
.Def14grey4 <body>
.def14grey4 a:link <a>
.def14grey4 a:visited <a>
.def14grey4 a:hover, .def14grey4 a:focus <a>
.def14grey4 a:active <a>
That way, the hover and the focus states are equivalent.
How do you add (all of) these styles to the text in the first place, I know how to add the first one
You don't really. The 4 bottom selectors say -
"find an element with a class of 'def14grey4', and style any link inside that element this way"
So, <span class="def14grey4"><a href="whatever.html">Whatever</a></span> would get the pseudo-class styles, as would any of the following -
<span class="def14grey4"><a href="whatever.html">Whatever</a></span>
<td class="def14grey4"><a href="whatever.html">Whatever</a></td>
<p class="def14grey4"><a href="whatever.html">Whatever</a></p>
<body class="def14grey4"><a href="whatever.html">Whatever</a></body>
<div class="def14grey4"><a href="whatever.html">Whatever</a></div>
<strong class="def14grey4"><a href="whatever.html">Whatever</a></strong>
and so on. These examples assume that there isn't some other more specific rule that would apply to the same links. You need to study up on the CSS cascade and specificity....

How do you add non-Garage band instruments into a Logic project so that you can hear them on playback?

How do you add non-Garage band instruments (orchestral instruments) into a Logic Pro (8) project so that you can hear those insrtruments' sounds on playback? I've tried to understand and follow the Logic Pro 8 User Manual, but the process comes off as so complex and the writing so technical that it does not help but only confuses.
To be precise - I want to add instruments (orchestral) that are not offered in the current Garage band menu which is offered in the Mixer's channel strip menus for Logic Pro 8. To be clear, the instruments that are offered are Bass / Drum Kits / Guitars / Mallets / Organs / Pianos and Keyboards / Synth Basics / Synth Leads / Synth Pads. Most of these that I've tried seem to work and give their characteristic sound when placed in a particular channel and playback is clicked.
However - there is one orchestra instrument offered in the standard Logic Pro 8 Mixer channel menu and it's the item labelled "Performance - 000 flute 1 or 001 flute 1." And it is this instrument that presents a problem. When I click on it and choose it from the menu and enter it as the instrument of choice for a specfic channel / track in my Logic Pro project arrangement, when playing back the music for the overall piece this particular track, the flute, does not playback and produce the notes (Midi events) in the track in the sound of the flute. Instead, nothing comes out at all. I can't imagine why this does not work. Any ideas, anyone? Again, when choosing this instrument for a track and clicking the playback no flute sound is forthcoming. Why not? I have not tried them all, but when most of the other various types of keyboards, such as an electric piano or an organ, are chosen for a track the playback successfully renders the sound of these instruments. Why then does playback not produce the sound of the flute when it has clearly been chosen to play and sound the Midi events given it?
Anyway, the overall, larger issue for me is the inability I have to choose and get non-Garageband instruments (largely orchestral) to play the Midi events given on various tracks. If my guess is correct then technically, orchestral instruments not offered in the standard Logic Pro 8 Garageband Mixer channel menu are referred to as external Midi sampled instruments - still, IMHO the process is not clearly spelled out in the User Manual. The simple step by step process whereby a non-Garage band instrument, say an orchestral instrument, is placed in a channel replete with Midi event (notes) waiting to be played should be easy, logical and given in a simple to follow format, but is not.
What with all the talk of routes, busses, auxillary channels, GM devices, GM mixers, audio bins, libraries and audio files this Logic Pro User is confused to the max. Can someone please help me and, in simple English, describe the step by step process whereby presumably external sampled orchestral instruments can be successfully employed, in any given Logic Pro arrangement project, to render their characteristic sounds upon playback?
On my two Macs, one a laptop and one a much larger Mac, I have any number of the GSO (Garritan Symphony Orceshtra) and Vienna Symphony Orchestra instrument library samples - and yet - I've yet to figure out how to actually get them INTO a Logic Pro project of any kind! To put this as a question, even as a humble request, how can I make good use of these orchestral sample libraries in a Logic Pro project? Can someone steer my to a clear resolution of this issue. I'd sincerely appreciate it! Thanks all!

David, you understand that this is professional software and is not necessarily meant to be easy but is in fact designed to give the professional user as many choices as possible, that's why it's in the Pro Apps section. You WILL need to learn about buses, GM Devices, Audio Bins, Libraries...etc..etc if you intend to use Logic.
That said, you are looking in the wrong place in the channel strip.
May I offer you advice?
Go here:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/
Open "Exploring Logic Pro" (a short PDF Document). Pay special attention to chapter 3. Also pay special attention to the included graphics of the channel strips.
I encourage you to read the whole document as it will clear up many things... even though it's a Logic 9 document.
