I can't edit new contacts

any newly added contact (after updating my iPhone software) cannot be edited. Note that adding a contact only works when it is done through the Call App, not through the Contacts App!! and even then,
I can't edit the newly added contact.
If I attempt to add a new contact through the Contacts App it does not allow me to enter a phone number, and even then, when I click Done, it just saves a blank contact!!
PLEASE HELP!
I've asked other friends with the identical 3GS phone that have also done the update, they are NOT facing this same problem, however they updated their software on iTunes while in Ireland, and I'm in England, could some installation updates over iTunes be dodggy?

I am having this identical issue. Ever since upgrading to iOS 4 on my 3GS some users do not have the "Edit" option when I go into contact details - nor am I able to search for them in the phonebook. Yet they are in there somehow because if that person calls me their name/contact shows up. I only have 1 contacts "group" so I'm not sure what is going on.

I can't edit my contacts on my iPhone 4, after upgrading to iOS 5

After updating my iPhone 4 to the iOS 5.1.1, I can't edit my contacts or add any new contacts. Can anybody help me with this? Thank you.

Try this:
Settings>iCloud>Contacts>On...see if you can edit now...if so, you can go back into Settings & turn this off, if you like.

I have the IPhone 4 , after updating the software to version 5.0 , i can't edit my contacts, is it only from my device or the updated software should be adjusted?

I have the IPhone 4 , after updating the software to version 5.0 , i can't edit my contacts anymore(the button edit doesn't exist anymore), is it only from my device or the updated software should be adjusted?

That's exactly right. And since you have a MacBook Air (as I do), that means the synching should occur just fine (if you've set it up right in iTunes). In other words, once you actually do the update, the iTunes on your MacBook Air will re-sync your photos back to your iPhone.
Basically, the process is that your iPhone gets backed up, wiped clean, then the new iOS version gets installed, then the backup gets restored. That will restore everything in the article above, which does not include your photos. But the sync process that happens after the iOS installation would restore your photos from iPhoto given you've set it up that way in iTunes.
When you have your iPhone plugged into iTunes, while looking at the iPhone's summary page, click "Photos" on the right side of iTunes to see how you have your sync set up.
Regardless, it sounds like you'll be fine! Your photos will wind up in iPhoto once you place them there. They will be safe there.

Can't sync new contacts from Outlook to iphone 6. Turned off all add-ns and still will not update.

Did the suggestion on the Apple site for contacts. When I do the sync I can see the new contact in my contact list then it goes away when the sync finishes.

@ Laurent P.
Some things to try.
Reset Sync History. To do this on a Mac, open iSync in your Applications folder. Once open, click the iSync menu and choose Preferences. Small window opens with a Reset Sync History button. Does not delete any data, just don't expect your next sync to be super quick.
Also, under the Info tab in iTunes, choose the Advanced option of replacing everything on the iPhone with what is on the computer. If it works, be sure to uncheck that setting. I think it is a one time check only thing, but be sure.
Wait...
I just noticed you said MobileMe...if you use MobileMe to sync your stuff, flip Contacts Off then back On. If that doesn't work, delete the MobileMe account on the iPhone and re-add it.
Otherwise, try a hard reset (both buttons for about 10 sec. ignore slide to power off), and reset network settings.
Also, does the Mac contacts show up in MobileMe? If they don't, go to System Preferences > MobileMe > Sync tab and check your settings. Perform a sync too. Under the Advanced button you can Reset Sync Data and choose to replace MobileMe stuff with stuff on your computer or vice versa.

Contacts are synced with a compatible programme in the computer; in the iCloud or with Yahoo and Google Mail. You can directly "edit" a contact on the phone and/or within the programme that you are syncing your contacts with.
Have you configured/setup mails on your iPhone? If yes, check the contents of the mail account(s) individually. (including iCloud) from SETTINGS - MAILS, CONTACTS, CALENDARS
"Contacts" if chosen from the mail account (s) would add email addresses to your contacts.

Geotagging - how can I edit new places that I have previously created but with typos, errors etc? How do I delete a place I have set up?

Geotagging - how can I edit new places that I have previously created but with typos, errors etc? How do I delete a place I have set up? Then I could create a new, correct entry. I'm using iPhoto '09.

Is it OK to reply to my own question?? Thanks to the related posts that appeared AFTER I'd made the post above, I learnt about the 'Manage my places' item under the Windows menu. I felt a bit dumb not knowing this.
BUT it doesn't completely resolve the issue. The info shown in the EXIF (using opt-cmd-I) under Places has the place name I choose, but it is followed by a few other lines that are incorrect and do not seem to be anything to do with any data I can see under 'Manage my places'.
Can anyone explain where these other entries might come from, and how to edit them?

Contacts. Can't add new contacts after upgrading to Mtn Lion from Snow Leopard.

I can't add new contacts after upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain last week. I do not use iCloud. Any suggestions?

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it, then drag or copy it — do not type — into the Terminal window:
find . $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Press return. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "35." Please post it in a reply.

how i can save my new contact in sim card using iphone 4S ?? plz

iPhone stores no data on a sim card, thus there is no way to save anything to the sim card.

Can't add new Contact

After I clean installed my Macbook last week with Maverick, I sync my old file with TIme Machine, and I had to reinstall the whole system due to a problem with permission in a system wide range ! After that, everything look clean, but I just realised, that I can't add any new contact, all my old contact still there, but there's nothing I can do to add new contact !
