Try this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19100650#19100650
Basically go to https://appleid.apple.com and set your language preference there. I have no idea how mine was set to Portuguese!
Very annoying that this answer is hard to find.

How to save international numbers on iphone

Hi, my uncle lives in europe and i would like to add his phone number to my contacts to chat with him on whatsapp or viber, but i dont know how to add an international contact to the contact list.

You need to save the number with the international dialling prefix then the country code, area code and then the phone number. For example my cell number is 0419 xxx xxx and I am in Australia. The leading zero is dropped. The iPhone selects the international code for your country automatically by using "+". So you could use +61419 xxx xxx if you wanted to call me. Australia's country code is 61. If it is a land line you are calling, number would be +617 xxxxxxxx.
My area code is 07 and once again drop the leading zero.

IOS7 'upgrade' deleted my internal contacts?

"Upgraded" to iOS7.1 and some of my internal contacts were deleted.
Bizarrely, the missing contacts seem to be some of the most frequently contacted.
It also caused iPhone to do some screwy things with e-mail threading.
Specifically, it merged threads with the same title ("Hi") from different contacts.
Maybe test updates a bit more before release?
Also, maybe test the OS updates on the previous gen hardware?
kthx.
P.S. This is really just a bug report about Apple's buggy iOS release.
It's easier to just re-enter the info than deal with de-bugging Apple's OS, so I don't need any long troubleshooting procedures to try as a "fix."

You were not "made" to do it at all. As with ALL updates, it was completely optional. It will ONLY update if you decide to update it.
Iphone is designed to be synced to your computer regularly. Your contacts will be in whatever program that you selected to update. If you have failed to sync your contacts, then they are gone.
You can try restoring from backup.

Can not sync iTunes to Contacts on iPhone

I just upgraded my internal HD to 1TB. Reinstalled Snow Leopard. Now when i sync my iphone it says "iTunes could not sync contacts because an error occured while sending data from the phone". Both MacBook and iphone are current rev.
My contacts in HD are all gone, not sure why this portion of the shadowing of disks didn't work. Want to transfer the contacts from iphone to new HD.

Did you restore the HD with a copy of the original drive?

How do you delete all contacts on iPhone 4S? I have tried to sync and end up w/duplicates and now triplicates. 4,000 contacts have now turned into 12,000 contacts!! I "upgraded" to Lion and hate it - it was so much easier before. I managed to delete on MacBook (to start from scratch there), but cannot delete from iphone or ipad. I am so frustrated! Please help

Hi Cynthia! If you are syncing from something like Gmail you can go into the iPhones Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>(account you are syncing)> and turn off contacts. It will ask you if you want to delete them from your phone - just click delete. Exit Settings and turn phone off by power button (not all the way OFF). Then re-open Settings>mail, Contacts, Calendars>(account you are syncing)> and turn Contacts back on - This is where you need to be careful - When you turn contacts back on you will be prompted to delete or save the contacts already on your phone. CLICK DELETE. You should now have only your synced contacts on your phone! Hope it helps!

How to delete contacts from iPhone and update changes to PC after synch?

I spend a lot of time deleting old/unwanted/duplicated contacts on iPhone. Then I synch with PC through iTunes and I get two options: 1. MERGE or 2. Replace contacts on iPhone with PC information. If I click MERGE then all those contacts I deleted come back to my iPhone. MERGE seems to be a merely 'collapse' information feature...whether is from PC to iPhone or viceversa.
Obviously I don't want to replace my iPhone contacts with those in PC, because then I will loose all those pictures I took to my contacts...also, all the time spent assigning pictures to contacts will go to trash can.
This is kind of irritating...am I the only one having this problem? Active Synch for SmartPhones or Pocket PC nailed this down beautifully (it knows where the latest/most updated information happened and keeps that one).
Help please.

Thank you for trying to help.
I don't want to replace the information on my iPhone because in my iPhone where i have the most updated information (pictures assigned to contacts and deleted duplicated/unwanted contacts)...I would like to replace the contacts on my PC instead.
After doing what you are suggesting will I be able to replace information on my PC? Is this what you mean?
Thank you.

How can I organize contacts in iphone into categories?, How can I organize contacts in iphone into categories?

How can I organize contacts in iphone into categories? I have over 4000 contacts and need to organize them as clients, personal, etc. I used to be able to do this in Blackberry but have not found a way to do it with the iPhone.

I don't think that function is possible with IOS. The only thing I see is you can put the company that the contact is with for clients.
there maybe an app that can do that, try doing a search.

Dilemma: How Can I Transfer My iPhone 3G Contacts to iPhone 5 or iPhone 4 If iTunes Won't Sync It?

Hi. The iPhone 3G has 4.2.1 which iCloud doesn't support. It means my Contacts on the iPhone 3G can't be synced to my iMac because Mountain Lion gets the updated Contacts from iCloud. If I'll buy the iPhone 5 (assuming it great beyond expectations. Almost 4 years with iPhone 3G is great- very durable even if it's made in China; it's the designer that counts when it comes to quality I guess for the most part) or future iPhones I won't be able to transfer all the data, the Contacts especially to iPhone 5 or later? (even If use apps like iPhone Explorer which doesn't actually see the Contacts in the iPhone 3G but if even if it did it still won't be compatible with iTunes to transfer the Contact to iPhone 5).
What could be a solution. Should install onto an USB external drive an earlier OS that has an iTunes that'll work with iOS 4.2.1 so I can primarily backup Contacts? If that's a solution, what OS would that be and what iTunes version?
Thank you in advance.
Gbu.

I would sign out again, then update your Mac (latest version, not 10.7.3 as shown in your signature), open "Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars" and then choose iCloud and sign in again. I would also do the same on your iOS device (sign out and in). Make sure to confirm the message when you will be asked to merge the contacts with iCloud.

You have to follow the process outlined here to recover contacts from an iCloud backup: Recovering deleted iCloud contacts from an iCloud backup.. Otherwise, as you have noticed, the recovered contacts are overwritten when your device reconnects to iCloud.

HT4528 I have 3 iPhones, one Ipad, and two PC's that I have tried to "connect" using one iTunes account and am having issues.I connected iPhone #3 to one PC, it removed all contacts from iPhone #3, replaced w/ contacts from iPhone #2. How can I get back?

I have 3 iPhones, one iPad and 2 PC's, all using the same iTunes account. I want to be able to have each iPhone keep their own list of accounts and music list and the I pad different as well. I want to 2 PC's music list to match. How do I do this?
Additionally, when I connected iPhone #3 to one PC, it removed the contacts from #3 and replaced it with contacts from iPhone #2. How do I get those contacts back and prevent this from happening again?

Hey joshuafromisr,
If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

or here:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

How to delete multiple contacts in iphone 5s

Is there an easy way to delet multiple contacts on iphone 5s annd 5c. I can delete them one at a time, but wondered if theres a way to do some of them but not all.

No, there's no mass delete or partial mass delete option.
If these are iCloud based contacts, you may find it easier to go to www.icloud.com and delete them there.
