If you change any contact on your phone....

If you change any contact on your iPhone and then sync it with Outlook, it automatically files it as "Last Name, First Name"...which is driving me crazy!!
any ideas??? now i just have to keep a mental note on who i changed and then go to outlook to manually fix it!

No...that's not the issue...i have both the iphone and outlook set to first name, last name...but if you make a manual change to a contact on your iphone THEN sync...your outlook data will automatically change to LAST name, First name...despite any settings
Try it
please help if anyone has any ideas!

Can you put any MP3 onto your phone?

I've asked someone with a 4S this, and they so far are having big difficulties.
On my phone (not an Apple device), I can use an MP3 I made. It's made using audio editing software, and it starts with the Thunderbirds are go, and then merges into another track. So it's rather amusing and lightens my day when I get a call and I hear it.
But I want to know if I could put that track onto an iPhone, and use it as a ring tone.
A friend has tried with her cable and with iCloud, to no avail.
With Windows/Android/Blackberry phones, doing this is truly simple.
How do you do this on the iPhone - if possible at all?

Does iTunes force any AAC ringtone file to never be more than 30 seconds?
That is correct. Ringtones cannot be more than 30 seconds.

How do you delete contacts from your phone for good without having it appear in the messages app?

How do you delete contacts from your phone for good without having it appear in the messages app?

Hi tieyce,
You need to hook up your iPhone, select it under Devices, and then go to the Photos tab on the Device Profile, and uncheck Sync Photos, then sync. That should delete all photos that were downloaded from your computer.
When you say you have 2 separate albums of the same sets of pictures, what 2 albums are you referring to? Can you provide us with names of those "duplicate" albums?
Cheers,

How do you transfer voice memos from your phone to computer

How do you transfer voice memos from your phone to computer

Is it possible to transfer a voice memo to my computer and then convert that to text that can be printed?
Here is my problem. I study harbor seals and have always taken hand written notes that then must be typed into the computer when I get home from an observation. Is there any way I can dictate what I see to a voice memo and then have that translated to text. If there is which would do it best an iphone or ipad (I have neither, just a tracphone for an emergency).
Perhaps this is asking too much from the technology available but it would be a great help if I could do this.
Thanks for any help you can give!

Why is it that when I change the contacts on my phone, it changes them on my mom and dad's as well?

My family and I recently got iPhones for Christmas. One for my dad, one for my mom, and one for me. We also have an iPad 2. They are all hooked up to iCloud via one username. When we got the phones, we had trouble transferring our contacts from our old verizon phones to our new apple ones but we eventually got the contacts we needed. At first, my mom's phone was not connected to the iCloud account shared by the rest of us and the iPad. She wanted the calendar from the iPad so I deleted the account on her phone and added the iCloud account that the iPad was using. All was fine until my dad and I realized that our contacts were wiped from our phones and replaced with my mom's. I then started painstakingly deleted my moms contacts and replacing them on my own on my phone. However, contacts were being deleted from my mom and dad's phone at the same time. It's almost like the three phones are constantly synching with each other. It would be ideal if we could get all of our contacts back the way they were before my mom changed her account but we would settle for this constant synching to stop. Please give us some direction here, we are new to this. Thanks in advance!

Why is it that when I change the contacts on my phone, it changes them on my mom and dad's as well?
Because, as you said "They are all hooked up to iCloud via one username. ". That is exactly what iCloud does.
You need independent iCloud accounts for each person to maintain independent contact lists.

How can you sync individual contacts to your facebook that haven't already synced up?

I have synced my iPhone with my facebook contacts, but there are some that haven't synced up. How do I do this?

I had this problem as well and after several weeks of research I found something that worked for me. I went into contacts clicked on groups and determined which email I had synced with contacts. I had 2 however I was only showing my Gmail account in my contact list. I went to my Gmail account and entered an individuals name, phone number and email address into my contact list in Gmail. Then went into settings, Facebook and update all contacts. it updated that one contact with all the information that is shared with me on Facebook, including the profile picture. I found an even easier way to accomplish this if you're using a Yahoo account because at this time Yahoo has a sync option that it seems that Gmail's latest version currently does not. Go to your Yahoo account, contacts and import all contacts from Facebook. Once that is done go back to settings, Facebook and update all contacts. Voila all you Facebook information in now in your iPhone contact list. Note: You may end up with some duplicated in your contact list. Simply link the contacts together and all of that individuals information is stored in one contact in your phone. Hope this helps and Happy clicking! lol

Hi King Arthur 2000,

How do you change the dates on your iphoto pictures?

You'd need an app that can edit EXIF data. You can't do that natively on an iPhone but there may be apps in the App Store that will let you do it. Take a look at Snapseed. I think it might.

If you need to get contacts off your phone... here is a way to do it

Hi all,
I had a user who lost their address book on their mac. Luckily their contacts were on his phone, but when he went to sync, it erase them.
However, that being said... we still needed to get the info off and couldn't figure out how to move them over. Itunes wasn't helping...
Ecamm makes a product that does it. Best 20.00 bucks I have spent.
http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/
Found his data, and allowed me to save it off and he is one happy camper.
So... if you are having problems getting your data... try this

With ATT here in US, if you go to ATT Store, and ask they will give you a new micro-SIM card with your old #, so you will be happy.
The SIM card you have now however, is very easy to cut down to exact size with sharp scissors. If you screw up then just see your Carrier for a new Micro-SIM with your #.

If you are missing contacts on your Pre that are present in GMail...

I had two problems when I first got my Pre on release day. Multiple contacts "nesting" and missing contacts (not brought over from my GMail Contacts). Recently I had a reboot issue following 1.3.5 and 1.3.5.1 updates to WebOS. Palm had me run WebOS Doctor and that wiped all my info. When I came back into WebOS my two email accounts, contacts and calendar did not work. I was able to remove the emails and rebuild them back to working order. When I tried to log into contacts or calendar (GMail) all I got was a spinning circle and "Logging in". After completely removing and re-entering contacts and calendar I got all of my calendar and what looked like 20 of my 392 contacts to come into the Pre. After examination I noticed two nested (Pre calls them linked) contacts. Inside a single contact were 25 others. I am not aware of a batch file to do this so I clicked on the linked contacts icon (top right corner) and 25 times I selected "unlink". When All were unlinked (including another cache) I now had 85 of my 392 contacts. I then called Palm and got level one (of whom had never heard of this issue!!) and after an hour was given level two. I had previously spoken to Dev techs about this back when the phone was released and had not yet heard of a solution. After a lot of wrangling with level two the tech asked me if I have any contacts that begin with "special characters". I first said, "No". Then I asked if a number is considered a special character? I removed the first three of my 392 contacts as they started with a number and WHAM! ALL of my remaining contacts came screaming into my Pre!! I find it hard to believe that the WebOS is so unyielding as to not accept a contact named "800 number for Palm" or "1922 Peachtree RD" but if you want all of your GMail contacts to sync to your Pre make sure all names begin with ONLY a through z.
