How to bring up "Favorites" contact list (& where are "Home" preferences)?

I see this in some on-line pages about how to use the iPhone:
"your list of favorite contacts is only a double-pressed home button away"
but on my iPod (4G Verizon), double-pressing the home button gives me a gray upper screen and shows me the currently-running apps in a row on the bottom. How do I get to the favorites list? I'd like to have a speed dial list accessible from the main screen as quickly as possible. Also, I saw this:
"As of iPhone OS 3.0, the home button can also be set as a shortcut to open the camera or search applications on the phone. As with the other settings, in the Home option of General settings, you'll find check boxes to set either the camera or search apps as shortcuts."
When I go to Settings and then General, I see: Auto lock, passcode lock, restrictions, date and time, keyboard, international, accessibility, and reset. Nothing about the Home option. What am I missing?
thanks in advance!
Mike

The Home Button functions changed in iOS 4 to support multi-tasking, and you can't any longer assign functions to the double-click.
To get to Favourites (or even Favorites ) yI always have the Phone icon as one of my fixed bottom 4 icons, and I click it once to open the phonebook and then hit the Favorites button. 2 clicks instead of one, but...

  • I've a new account on iMac.  When composing an email the contact list does not show up on the bar.  WWhen I start keying in a name, it comes up with the address.  How do I engage the  contact list from the email?

    I've a new account on iMac.  When composing an email the contact list does not show up on the bar, which would allow me to select the persons I want to include on the distribution of the email.  When I start keying in a name in the email, it comes up with the person's address, which shows it is synced.  How do I engage the contact list from the email like I do on my old account (where a contact list icon shows up, along with the "attach" and other icons) ?

    With the New Message window open, go to the View menu and select "Customize Toolbar...".
    In the screen that opens, drag the item labelled "Address" into the Toolbar area of the New Message window, then click the "Done" button.
    That item should be then added to the Toolbar for the New Message window.
    Note that the main Mail window and the New Message window (as well as the separate message window if you open a message that way) use different toolbars - the settings/inclusions for one do not carry over to another.

    How can I move my contact list to new ID account?
    And should I update my iOS system ?

    Hello Godde
    Lets start with checking out the articles below for setting up Family Sharing and more information about Apple ID’s. I will say that you will not be able to transfer any purchases to a different Apple ID, but you can rename the Apple ID. If you want to use Family Sharing, then you will need to just create a new iCloud account and then follow the steps in the second article to start sharing content between you to.

    You can create your groups on your computer and sync them on your iPhone. Or you can use an application. I developped Easy Group, to manage group of contacts, and send group texts and group emails.

  • How do I recover my contact list which I lost while transferring it from iPhone 3GS to windows address book via iTunes, How do I recover my contact list which I lost while transferring it from iPhone 3GS to windows address book via iTunes

    How do I recover my contact list which I lost while transferring it from iphone3gs to windows address book.

    Did you try and sync it with an address book on your computer that contained no entries at all?  If so, then they are gone.
    IF you backed up the phone before trying to do this, you may be able to recover some of the information using 3rd party software to try and extract it from the backup. I have no personal experience with any of these programs, so I'll leave specific recommendations to others who do.

  • HT204053 How can I get the contacts list on my iPhone to appear in my iPad Air

    How can I get the contact list on my iPhone to appear in my iPad Air?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Please try the following…
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

    how can i import my contact list from the Nokia Suite to my I phone?

    Oscar, keep in mind that my suggestion could not be the best one.
    I have a copy of Nokia suite on my Windows XP partition on my Mac, just to test it.
    The second icon on the upper row explains as a syncronisation with Outlook.
    Try to do it and later you should use the iClod manager from Apple and Sync Outlook to ìiClod and to any iPhone iPod and so on.

  • I have a Verizon LG Versa cell phone, how do I get my contact list from there to my new iphone 4?

    I have a Verizon LG Versa cell phone, how do I get my contact list from there to my new iphone 4?

    Matt,
       My new iPhone 4 is on the way from Verizon, and I too am moving on from the LG Versa (a poor man's iPhone) so I've researched this.  I trust you have been using the backup assistant on the LG phone to backup your contacts?  If so, and you investigate the app store you will see an app for doing the same task on you new iPhone.  Initially it will take you LG contacts you have backed up at Verizon to their new home on the iPhone.
    According to user comments there appear to be a couple of issues with the app you need to be aware of:
       1.  It will not automatically backup your iPhone, you will need to initiate updates in the future on your own.  and
       2.  You will see in the comments, that there have been some issues with length of backup when you add lots of contact photos to your list.
       This coupled with the address book sync from your computer should make your list whole, in fact the move to the iPhone will allow me to consolidate my address book with my cell phone contacts.  Then once I remove the duplicates all will be right with the world.
