HT4623 why cant we be able to save contacts to our phone like every other phone?

When i get a new iphone i loose some cantacts, because you cant save them to the sim card from the iphone, and iknow you can do it throught the computer save them there, but what happens if the computer breaks? I think this should be a feature added to the new update for all iphones.

" but why cant we just be able to save the contacts straight onto the simcard"
Becasue this is not a feature of the iphone.
A phone is not the place for all of you info to reside.  It should all reside on your computer where you have a complete and regular backup.
The iphone simply allows it to be portable.
"would just be easier if you could save it to the sim."
No.
You can sync contacts over the air, if you like.  I use icloud.  All contact I input on my iphone are immediately transferred to icloud and to my computer.  I backup my computer regularly.  Very simple.

  • Why is How I Met Your Mother Season 3 "Episode Only" when every other season has the option to buy the entire season?

    Why is How I Met Your Mother Season 3 "Episode Only" when every other season has the option to buy the entire season?
    Seems rather unfair to pay nearly £40 for each individual episode when each other season has the option to buy the entire season for £9.99 (including seasons after season 3)

    Just recieved this from iTunes Store Support:
    Missy here. I am a Senior Advisor from the iTunes Store. Your request has been escalated to me by Irish.
    I understand you have some concerns regarding the numbering of the episodes for "How I Met Your Mother, Season 3". I can certainly appreciate your concerns and I'm happy to offer some additional information about this.
    Episode 17, is a music video that accompanies the episode "Sandcastles In the Sand" however it is not available on the UK iTunes Store. This is why 17 has been omitted.
    Apple is constantly expanding the iTunes Store's catalog of music, audiobooks, videos, and movies. To ensure that your request is considered, please submit it through the Request page at:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
    This solves the issue. I have filed a request to get the music video added to the iTunes which hopefully it does, completing Season 3 of How I Met Your Mother.

  • HT4623 why cant i save phone image to photo album...its show save this image to your phone app?,,,,,but no image is save

    why cant i save phone image to photo album...its show save this image to your phone app?,,,,,but no image is save

    Hi FANMixco,
    To be clear, you can see the image from your file system but cannot access it from code?
    I'd like to know what could be my bug because I don't understand why I can access from the URL,
    -> If you can access the image from URL, you should definitely download it and use it, I'm not quite understand your question now.
    I'm not knowledgeable with chmod under Linux, let's say if we give it full accessibility, what will be the result?
    Anyway if you can see the image from file system, that already means the upload is succeed, I think you may need get some suggestion from php side to see how can we save the image with a correct permission.
    I will move the question to off topic, since the question is on the server side but not client side, which is out of the forum support scope, thanks for your understanding.

  • HT4623 why cant i join my wifi at home?

    Why cant i join my wifi at home?

    Tried the hard reboot earlier today. Just tried the airplane/DoNotDisturb combo. That did work. I was able to reconnect to my wi-fi. Now 2nd problem. My wife can not send imessage to me. I thought it was because I was not connected to wi-fi. She has iphone 4(not on ios7). I have iphone5(ios7.0.3). When selecting my phone# to txt to me, it shows as "green", not "blue" which would send as imessage instead of SMS. I have a work phone which has SMS texting turned off due to company policy. I can send her txt message. He txt returns as "undelivered".
    I also tested the imessage by sending a txt to my apple ID. That seemed to work. So, I don't understand why txt to my phone # do not work but txt to my apple ID is working. Any thoughts on this?

  • HT4623 why cant i continue my phone usage after updating without a sim card

    why cant i continue using my iphone 4 after an update with out having a sim card

    I'm not sure what you mean. You can't use any cellphone without a SIM (except for CDMA phones which don't use SIMs at all). What is your exact situation? Do you mean that you have been using your iPhone as an iPod and now after the update it's requiring activation? If that's what you mean, then you will need a valid SIM, for the cell carrier your iPhone is locked to if it is locked, so you can re-activate the iPhone. You don't need active service with the carrier, though.
    If that's not what you mean, please post back and explain further.
    Regards.

  • HT4623 why am I not able to update my os to ios7,

    Why am I not able to update to ios7?

    Could be several reasons, the first being not enough available memory.  You also could be trying to update on a computer where iTunes is not up to the required release.  You could be having trouble accessing a very busy server.  Point being ...you need to say a little more about your specific problem to receive helpful advice.

        CLu27,
    I am sorry you are having issues with viewing your contacts. Where exactly are you trying to view your contacts? (ie Backup Assistant or Verizon Cloud). What happens when you try to sign in to view the contacts? Are you receiving any error messages?

    I have an Iphone 3GS and I'm trying to update it to IOS 6 but its not letting me upgrade it. Until I upgrade it I cannot add any apps onto my phone. Someone please help.

    Hello Hana-Morris,
    I would be be concerned too if I was not able to update my iPhone.  If you have not resolved the issue, I recommend following the steps in the article below for an issue like this:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

    As always, it is a good idea to create a backup before hand:

  • HT4623 why cant i update my ipad

    I am not sure which Ipad I have (I suspect the oldest version possible) but it will not allow me to update the software on it. Any ideas?

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
