  • Spaces in contact numbers when syncing from outloo...

    When entering numbers in Outlook in international format and syncing with S60 phones you get spaces in the numbers which prevents the phone recognising callers.
    Does anyone know how to prevent outlook from adding the spaces or getting the mail for exchange synchronisation to remove them.
    Or does anyone have another solution to allow the phone to recognise callers whilst synchronising with outlook/exchange?
    Thanks
    Solved!

    Thank you for your help.
    I have just resolved the problem by setting my phone and modem options in control panel so my location is incorrect.
    Outlook adds a space in numbers for your own country.
    i.e. for the uk which has the country code 44
    You get:
    +44 1234567899
    For all other countries no space in inserted.
    +311234567890
    Every other phone I have had ignores spaces in the number but with my E61 I have to set my pc to the incorrect local.
    Problem solved.
    Hopefully Nokia will fix or at least not repeat this bug in phones. Anyone know where you can log issues with Nokia? I don;t need them to fix this now but as a programmer I know that without customer feedback it's hard to test and discover bugs like this.
    Thanks for you help.

  • Adding a space to contact numbers...

    I am adding mobile numbers to my contacts but am wondering how I can add a space when I add them e.g. 0411 000 000, at the moment it only will enter them 0411000000

    Why do you want spaces??? It's an evil thing, I hate it and it ***** up my addressbook! It won't turn off even if I have turned formatting off in Address Book.
    Apple PLEASE learn from other manufacturers who have the experience of making phones, like Nokia and Sony Ericsson. Just a simple thing as sending a contact to another phone via Bluetooth or SMS, how come you haven't added that yet???

  • Removing hyphens/spaces from phone numbers

    Hi there,
    Is it possible to remove hyphens and spaces that are automatically and incorrectly inserted to iphone numbers when storing them or is this a feature that Apple think everyone MUST have?
    Having many international phone numbers on my phone, the incorrect spaces and hyphens are a nuisance. It would be easier if the feature can be disabled or if the iphone checks the format for each international number prefixes. Not that difficult really!!! i.e. + 44 for the UK and if it's a mobile prefix, insert a space/hyphen after the 07xx bit or whatever, and then the city codes followed by a space/hyphen. That's it!

    Hi Meg,
    Thanks for your reply and the mention that Apple do take notice.
    However, my post is not one of complaint. It was/is a query. If I wanted to complain, I would go straight to Apple and do that! I have the relevant email addresses of Apple in the US and I have got effective replies when I have complained about things in the past.
    It is not my intention to complain in this post but to ask!
    As I mentioned in the initial post "Is it possible to remove hyphens and spaces that are automatically and incorrectly inserted to iphone numbers when storing them or is this a feature that Apple think everyone MUST have?"
    However, I thank you for your info, Meg.

    How can I get the phone numbers in contacts to appear with dashes between the first 3 numbers, the next 3 numbers, and the last 4 numbers?  Until very recently
    it did so.  Contacts on my macbook pro does show up this way.  I do have a mobile me account and in the past syncing was no problem.  What setting has changed?

    The phone number format as well as the date language and format and the time format are controlled by the Region Format setting. Go to Settings > General >International > Region Format.  When you change a region format, you can go back one page (to International) and see an example of the date/time/phone number format that your selected region format will produce.

  • HT2486 HOw do I transfer contact numbers and email address from my Mac to my new iphone?

    How do I transfer contact numbers and email address from my Mac to my new iphone?

    Connect your iPhone 4S to your Mac using the iPhone’s USB cable, and then use iTunes to transfer your contacts from to the iPhone. (An alternate way is to use iCloud.)
    I’m not sure what you mean by “transferring email address” from the Mac to the iPhone. But if you mean you want to access your email from the Mac and the iPhone, the best way is to configure your email account over IMAP in Mail on both devices.

  • I am trying to drag and drop my contacts into a numbers spreadsheet but it won't let me, can someone help?

    Hi
    So for my first project in numbers, I wanted to create a spreadsheet of all my contacts. I read the manual, watched a video tutorial, and tried just about everything I could think of, but I am un successful with dragging and dropping the contacts into a blank template. Can anyone help?

    Thanks for the feedback. You said you watched a video. Was it Gary's tutorial at MacMost.com? I really enjoyed that one.

  • Numbers and Spaces not working well together

    I'm having a problem with Numbers while using spaces. When I have multiple spreadsheets open between two different Spaces, Numbers jumps to the spreadsheet that was opened first when trying to enter data into the second... I hope this is clearer than mud.
    Anyway, I'm not sure why this is happening. It's VERY annoying, but I don't know if it's a Numbers issue or a Spaces issue. Suggestions?

    There is an old thread about a problem between Numbers and Spaces:

    Hello Brian Delaney,
    It sounds like you are trying to send emails but for some reason, thousands show activity. I would start by re indexing the mailbox to help troubleshoot the issue:
    1.Quit Mail if it’s open.
    2.In ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData, delete any file that begins with “Envelope Index,” such as Envelope Index or Envelope Index-shm.To show your home Library folder, hold down the Option key, then in the Finder choose Go > Library.
    3.Open Mail.Mail creates new Envelope Index files. This process may take a few minutes, depending on how many messages Mail is reindexing.
    Mail (Mavericks): Reindex messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14876
    If the issue persists, I would next remove the account, restart the computer, and re add the account:
    1.Choose Mail > Preferences, then click Accounts.
    2.Select an account, then click Remove.
    Mail (Mavericks): Remove mail accounts
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14944
    Removing an Exchange or IMAP account doesn’t permanently delete the account’s mailboxes and messages because they’re stored on the mail server. To retrieve the account’s mailboxes and messages from the server, add the account again in Mail.
    To add the account again, click the  rather than the  as described above and retest the issue.

  • Adding Custom Labels Missing for Contact Numbers After Upgrading to iOS 8.0 and issue still exists on iOS 8.1

    I noticed that after upgrading to iOS 8.0 on my iPhone 5s, adding custom labels for contact numbers got removed. It still exists on iOS 8.1 as well. Is there someone who is facing a similar issue or can someone help me how to get that back. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hi Yugendra,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I have good news. You can still choose a custom label in Contacts on iOS 8. The option should be below "Other" in the list of labels when editing a contact. This information is found in the iOS 8 user guide:
    Contacts at a glance - iPhone
    Change a label. If a field has the wrong label, such as Home instead of Work, tap Edit. Then tap the label and choose one from the list, or tap Add Custom Label to create one of your own.
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

    Be sure to close Palm Desktop before turning off your computer.

    Hey JustEhlan,
    Thanks for the question. When it comes to iPhone, very little is stored on the SIM card. Contacts, Photos, etc can be backed up with iTunes or iCloud and then transferred to a new device. For information on how to do so, see this resource:
