HT1386 my iphone doesn't import phone numbers correctly

my iphone doesn't import phone numbers correctly from my address book. some are imported with the area code separated from the number, as it is in the address book (by a dash or parentheses). these the phone will dial correctly. others are imported with all the numbers bunched together, without separations between the number and area code, even though in the address book they are separated. these the phone won't dial correctly, and I get a message from verizon saying it won't connect with the number as dialed. how can I get the phone to import the numbers as they appear in the address book?

apple wont give me a new phone cause I broke the screen and I replaced it my self.
Correct. When you did that, you voided all warranty/support, & forfeited the right to an out of warranty replacement.
There was nothing wrong with the screen I bought,
And, exactly, how do you know that? Since Apple DOES NOT sell iPhone parts, there is no official source for genuine parts. Thus, many on the market are counterfeit & produce nothing but problems.
Good luck.

Sync to outlook doesn't copy phone numbers with type "iphone"

I noticed that outlook is missing many phone numbers that were added from my iPhone. I then realized the pattern was that the missing numbers all had been entered with the phone type of "iphone". Other types that match predefined Outlook categories (i.e. "mobile", "work", etc) seem to work ok.
I have a 3GS, all the latest updates, Windows 7 on the desktop.
Any ideas?
Thanks

For all of you (us) that had this problem I have found the solution!!! After hours on the phone with Apple - who were very nice, but didn't have the solution - I found the fix on Google.
You need to export your calendar to a .pst file (save it on your desktop or in an easy file to find later). Once you have exported all calendar items you'll need to select 'view All Appointments' and then delete them. This clears your entire calendar - the source of the problem is one of the appointments getting corrupted somehow. Once the calendar is clear sync your iPhone with the 'replace all calendar items' selected in the Advanced section of Info on iTunes. This should completely clear the calendar on your iPhone as well. You can then add a test appointment to your blank calendar in Outlook, sync regularly and it should appear on your iPhone. Once that test is done and things are working correctly, import your .pst file back into Outlook, restoring all of your valid appointments. Sync again and voila!
It took me the better part of two days, troubleshooting and searching to find this and hopefully this helps solve your issues as well.

HT1386 My Iphone has stopped importing new photos to my computer when I connect and does not show a photos option under the device when in itunes. I don't have any access to the photos except directly through the phone.

It seems after my latest upgrade that my phone has stopped importing new photos and vids when I link up to my computer. It always would ask me if I wanted to tag new photos and then would import to computer. Now it does not and when I am in Itunes the options under my device does not include photos so i can't even import them manually. Any ideas on what is up?

iTunes doesn't import photos from your device, in only syncs photos from your computer to your device.
You may need to adjust your autoplay settings as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500 (except to enable digital camera notification, not disable it) in order to restore automatic prompts to import photos.

Importing phone numbers

I have a .csv file loaded in Excel, which is to be imported. The (Ozzie) phone numbers mostly are in the format
8888 8888
while some of them are in the format
03 8888 8888
When I use "find and replace" in Excel to remove the spaces, it also removes the leading zero from the area code. How do I get around this?

Info from a Ozzie ;-D
Set your column format to Text, this prevents to 0 from being dropped off.
Sort your numbers so that all those that start with an area code are together.
Do your find and replace so that there are no spaces.
Then a text to columns on those with an area code, fixed width so it sorts into 2 columns, area code 03 then phone number 88888888
Join it back together as =A1&" "&B1 or ="61"&A1&" "&B1
This will give you phone numbers in 88888888 and 03 88888888
good luck.

Will iPhone 4s support 2 phone numbers?

I am self employed and find myself needing 2 phone numbers, one personal and one for business. I also don't want 2 phones if I don't have to. does anyone know if it will support 2 numbers??

That's a good question considering it is both CDMA and GSM. IF it can, which I doubt due to software limitations (iOS), you would need one line to be on a CDMA carrier and the other to be on a GSM carrier since the iPhone 4S only has one SIM slot.
Alternatively, you could use something like Skype with an incomming number or the MagicJack app with an incoming number. If you used both these software solutions, you could technically be recieving three numbers on your iPhone.

How can I make iMessage work on 2 iPhones with 2 different phone numbers using the same Apple ID?

My work requires me to split time between two countries (Ph and Bn). I had an iPhone 4 with a Ph number and a Nokia for the Bn number. iMessage was running on the iPhone 4 with the Ph number and my apple ID. I recently replaced the Nokia with an iPhone 5 which I set up using the iCloud back up of my iPhone 4. I cant seem to set up iMessage (and Facetime) the way I want it to work on the iPhone 5. Im not sure if iOS 6 would allow me to do this so I'm throwing this out to the forums to check if its possible.
iPhone 4 w/ iOS 6
- uses Ph sim card
- Ph number set in Phone>My Number
- iMessage>Send & Receive has the following data
Ph Number - greyed outand checked
Apple User ID - checked
iPhone 5 w/ iOS 6
- uses Bn sim card
- Bn number set in Phone>My Number
- iMessage>Send & Receive has the following data
Ph number greyed out and not checked
Same Ph number checked
Apple User ID checked
Ive tried turning on/off my iPhone 5 and logging on and off iMessage but I cant seem to get it to update the iMessage phone number to the Bn number. Any idea how I can do this?

I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered

Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
Hope that helps

HT1495 I have 2 iPhones for 2 different phone numbers and a new ipad. Is it recommended to use 1 Apple ID or not?

I have 1 phone number with an iPhone 4 and I have got one more number with an iPhone 5s and an ipad air.
I don't know if to set the new devices (5s and ipad) with the same Apple ID or not.
Of course I would like to use the same contacts and emails on all the 3 devices but I'm not sure how to proceed.
Thx in advance!

First, my answer assumed you are the primary user on all the devices.
To use a different Apple ID, simply log out of the Apple ID in Settings > iCloud and log in with the old one.
Check these other locations to be sure they use the same Apple ID (the one you want to use).
Settings > Messages
Settings > Facetime
Settings > iTunes & App Stores

IPhone 4 sync erased all my phone numbers

Okay, call me technology-challenged but I'm new to having an iPhone and getting used to the sync-ing process.
Had a Verizon phone ported over to my new iPhone with 100s of phone numbers in the address book. The first time I tried "sync-ing" with my Mac Pro, I was really just trying to recharge the iPhone and get some tunes on it. Next thing I know, ALL of my phone numbers disappear from the iPhone and I have all these useless old email addresses in the contact list of the iPhone.
I'm the type of person who doesn't keep phones numbers in the Address Book on my main computer because I don't need phone numbers in there ... just addresses for my email lists for my business.
So, is all lost?
I noticed that it said the iPhone was "backing up" before the sync-ing process began but can't seem to find the actual back-up file anywhere or any way to "restore" it.

Phone Numbers in BI Publisher report woes

Hi,
I am having the following issue in BI Publisher reports, with phone numbers.
Essentially what happens is that BI Publisher displays the phone number with a string of zeros after it (which is in fact the value stored in the Siebel database).
I wondered if there is a way round this problem?
I'll include some information below about how Siebel handles phone numbers.
How Siebel Handles Phone Numbers:
1) There is List of Values with Type PHONE_FORMAT.
Inside the LOV's is a string of zeros (0) a different number/with/without spaces/ etc defined for each country.
The 'Order' column of the LOV contains the country code.
Next, there is two different scenarios about what will happen to the phone numbers you enter in Siebel:
1) You enter the phone number EXACTLY as specified in the PHONE_FORMAT LOV.
Result:
UI Display:
In the Siebel UI the phone number will be displayed correctly.
For the Object Manager you entered it in, the country code would be trimmed off the front if you entered it.
For other Object Managers, the phone number would be displayed e.g. with +44 before.
Database Level:
The phone number is stored WITHOUT additional zeros after.
BIP report based on the field:
THe BIP report always displays the database value (in this case without zeros).
2) You enter the phone number DIFFERENTLY to as specified in PHONE_FORMAT LOV.
Result:
UI Display:
In the Siebel UI the phone number will be displayed correctly.
For the Object Manager you entered it in, the country code would be trimmed off the front if you entered it.
For other Object Managers, the phone number would be displayed e.g. with +44 before.
Database Level:
The phone number is stored WITH additional zeros after (I guess they represent the formatting in some way).
BIP report based on the field:
The BIP report always displays the database value (in this case with the zeros).
Finally, just to say we work across the whole of Europe, Middle East and Africa which includes a great many different countries.
Each of these countries can have different length phone numbers, and there may be cases were a country has more than 1 number of digits in a phone number.
(So trimming the number is not very helpful)
Does anyone have any experience of getting BI Publisher to display phone numbers 'correctly' or 'how they are displayed in the Siebel UI?'
Any help you can offer would be appreciated.

Please post the details of the application release, database version and OS along with BI Publisher.
Is the issue with all reports or specific one(s) only?
Do you have the patches in the following docs applied?
Overview of Available Update Patches for Oracle BI Publisher Enterprise 10g [ID 797057.1]
Overview of Available Update Patches for Oracle BI Publisher Enterprise 11g [ID 1276869.1]
Overview of Available Patches for Oracle XML Publisher embedded in the Oracle E-Business Suite [ID 1138602.1]

Import Serial numbers in Goods Receipt

Hi Experts,
We are receiving 100's of serialized items per day that have serial numbers that are not sequential. It is not very efficient to type them in one by one.
How do I import them using DTW? Or is there another more efficient way to do this?
Thanks!
Jane
