Ios 5 contacts

i dont have the option to delete a contact or to edit
anyone know's why?

Hi.
Do you use the same PC/Mac ?
Sounds like you accidently swoped your back-up files. You should simply plug your device to your PC/Mac and restore from a recent back-up file (make sure that it's from your device). This will turn your device back to all those settings, including contacts.
Hope this was helpful.

Unable to use iMessage on Mac with non-IOS contact with Yosemite and IOS 8.1

I have an iPhone, an iPad running IOS 8.1, and a Mac running Yosemite. I have set up all 3 to use iMessage, entering the codes as requested. The 2 IOS devices work fine and the Mac works fine on messages to contacts with iPhones but non-IOS contacts remain red and are not accepted and if I try to send a group message with a non-IOS contact I get "XXX cannot be added to the group chat - XXX is not registered with iMessage". I have tried deleting and replacing the contact and it still will not accept her. I understood that this would be fixed after updating to Yosemite and IOS 8.1 but the upgrades have not resolved the problem for me.
In my Mac iMessage preferences:
1-I am signed in with my Apple ID and the account is enabled.
2-In the "You can be reached for messages at" field, I have my iPhone number, preceded by a +1 and the area code and 3 email addresses (icloud, me, and gmail)
3-in the "Start new conversations from" field, I have my cell phone number - also with a +1 and area code.
4-I have checked all of my Apple ID and iCloud details and they are all correct.
All other Handoff features appear to be working correctly. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks very much -

Hi,
It will suggest and look like it will auto-complete until you type further.
As 204 is unlikely to be the full number the issue does not arise.
For instance if I start typing my name every option that I have listed with my name over three Contacts card (for my three computers) and some Accounts not linked to Address Cards are listed
Of course this lists also shows cross connections between the accounts making the list longer.

How can I get iOS "Contacts" to sort search results on a name-first, other-fields-next basis?

Example: I type "jo sm" into the search bar in Contacts on iOS 7, expecting John Smith and Josephine Smolens to appear at the top of the list, as they are the only ones of my contacts whose name matches the pattern "jo* sm*". Instead, they are perhaps numbers 15 and 34 on the list, as other peoples' Notes fields also contain the pattern "jo* sm*".
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

This does not answer my question. I apologize for my lack of clarity when I tried to explain the problem.
To clarify: I'm not using wild card characters; I was just trying to explain the behavior I get and how it's different from what I want. Let me try again a slightly different way:
When I type "jo sm" into the Search bar in iOS 7 Contacts, I want the first results to be the people whose First Name starts with (or even just contains) "jo" and whose Last Name starts with (or contains) "sm".
Instead, I get all contacts whose Notes contain the letters "jo" and "sm" anywhere at all (which is many many people), and they are given to me in an order that seems random. Therefore, when I type "jo sm", I don't see the contact I'm looking for because he/she is routinely three pages down the list.
Thanks in advance!

IOS contact lists revert to all when one contact is deleted

Running iOS 7.0.3 on mini. I have multiply contact lists as a result of syncing with our Exchange 2010 sp3 server. Was attempting to delete old contacts and each time I do all of my contact lists, including "suggested contacts" enable themselves. To be clear if I click on "groups" and then enable only one list to display, if I delete one contact from that list, iOS then enables all the lists and fills the contacts view with lots of extra addresses. I had this issue on 7.02 and 7.03. What is more odd is this does not happen on my 5S running 7.02. Both devices use same iCloud and Exchange accounts.

Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
If that wasn't the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again. Quit iTunes and restart your computer as well. Turn off your firewall and antivirus software when you attempt the update again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Bug in iOS Contact

This looks like a bug with the latest iOS update. I can't seem to go to a specific field in Contacts, the cursor jumps to the next field. The only way to update that field then is to go to the previous field. But that leaves me with the problem of filling in First Name....
Anyone else facing this?

Try power cycling your device. If that doesn't work, then try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. Test then. I actually added two different contacts today on my iPhone 5s running iOS 8.1. Once I added from a phone call I received, the second was just adding one from scratch in Contacts.

How to audit Mac, iCloud, iOS contacts for errors?

Don't miss Winston Churchhill's Address Book Accounts Basics (with iCloud).
On syncing: is there an Applescript or utility that will audit every linked iCloud account, Mac and iOS device for discrepancies between the Contacts databases? I thinking of the simple case like ours, where we want everything stored in the iCloud Account once-only-once, plus whatever Group-ings are useful.
Even better - a script or utility that will force synchronization?

Thanks heaps Julian for your nearly instant reply.
Out here in the South Pacific where we get intermittent Internet connectivity, with gaps of weeks, the sync issue seems to me to be more complex. For sure, some of this could well be due to configuration/preferences errors.
E.g., we registered for iCloud sync within a couple of months of Lion release. We bought all of Joe Kissel's relevant Take Control books and tried hard to make the migration from Leopard/Mobile Me error-free. Long-story short, I'm looking at an iPad/Contacts that displays all of the groups from the pre-Lion Mac Pro Address Book, an unknown number of entries in the All Contacts view (some of which are local-only entries?). NB that 5 hours ago I deleted some ten of those groups from Mac Pro Address Book. But they still appear on the iPad.
And AFAIK there is no way to display the item counts. E.g., how many unique contacts exist on
iCloud
iPad1
iPad2
MBP
MP
How many contacts in each group? What groups do a contact belong to (option key trick)?
Today I discovered that both Macs had (I think) incorrect preferences left over from the iCloud migration. That is Address Book/Preferences/General should have had Default Account = iCloud but actually were set to "On my Mac".
So every new contact would automagically NOT SYNC. We made the incorrect assumption that following Apple's migration instructions would "just work" as they have typically for almost 30 years:-)
So I am trying to clean up all sources of errors and make every device identical. Absolutely guaranteed identical.

IOS contacts issue

After i upgrade my iphone from 4.3.3 to 5.0, its very difficult to view contacts. If I save a contact including country code, the names will not appear in incoming calls but name appear in message and vs.
So this is like old Nokia phones. I wonderwhether this is a bug or Apple just changed this whole thing. Its very difficult when this happens. I have to save every contact with country code and without. This is a temp solution i found. I think iOS 4.3.5 contacts works same as this. I kindly request Apple to fix this.

Is this forum only for the US? Maybe I'm intruding here by posting this?
Not only the Verizon version unfortunately. We have the same problem here in some parts of the Middle East. I have heard reports from Kuwait and Bahrain, and I'm located in Oman and the problem exists here as well. And no solution except downgrading the phone back to iOS 4.3.5.

Facebook Contacts & iOS Contact Sync

inhave iOS 8.1 and my Facebook app is up to date. When I go into settings and then Facebook and then hit update contacts my friends photos aren't syncing to my contacts. Also, what if someone on Facebook isn't using the same name as the one in my contact list? Is there a way to get all of my Facebook people to show up in my contact list so I can link them to the person I have stored in my iCloud contaste?

You've basically answered your own question, as follows:
You are not using iCloud, nor are you using iTunes on a computer. These are the two vehicles Apple primarily uses for sync.
Therefore, as you said, any sync that occurs would be in the hands of Yahoo, your email provider. So it's really a question for them. I would guess syncing is likely, but that's entirely up to Yahoo.

How exchange contacts merge with iOS contacts?

i use iOS 8 Contacts on all of my Apple devices. I also have an Exchange account for work on them as well. If I turn on sync contacts, will it display the work contacts along with my existing contacts Without integrating them? I want to be able to turn my Outlook contacts off without losing my personal contacts. Also will my personal contacts then sync to my work Outlook?

All of your contacts from all of the accounts you have loggedinto on your iPhone will be displayed in Contacts. Your personal contacts will not sync to your work Outlook. Just be sure you have the right account selected in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars the default account for newly added contacts. If you have duplicate contacts, you can link them together by going into the contact, tapping the Edit button in the upper right and swiping down to the linking section. Linking ony affects how the contacts are displayed on your phone.

IOS contact info not loading in lock screen on power up on password protected iPAD Air

All I can say is that when my battery dies because I did not charge it in time, when it powers up again, address contact info is lost and get only numbers and non-aliased names for messages in SMS that show up in my lock screen. Now, don't know if this is because I have a pass locked machine or not... But I just thought I should mention it, since it is not acting in the consistent Apple way that seems to load after pass lock is applied. Wondering if this is a security feature.

IOS contact photo showing up in Outlook and Lync

Running Exchange 2010 SP3 UR7 and Lync 2013, all on-prem.
We have a weird issue where someone called up stating their picture was in email and to have it removed. We don't supply pictures in AD so normally everything is blank when you email or IM someone via link, no pictures for anyone shows up.
My manager said he noticed it as well. We found out that when he has a contact on his Iphone 6+ and he sets a picture (it is an active sync enabled device) it shows up in his Outlook client and his Lync client. As soon as he changes it on
his Iphone, it changes in Outlook and Lync. I believe it is only visible on his PC and when sending emails out, no one sees the picture.
How is this doing this or how do we stop it from happening? I'm just assuming it is something in active sync that is doing this.

Hi,
Generally, if the user change their own photo in Outlook or Lync or ActiveSync device, the photo would be synced to AD automatically. Once the picture is synced to AD. Other domain users would also see this picture for this user. It needs time to update
and sync.
If the user changes the photo for a contact in ActiveSync device as what Willard says, the contact photo would be synced to mailbox only for this user view. It would not be synced to AD for this contact and other domain users would not view the changed photo.
Regards,
Winnie Liang

Where is community or forum for iOS Contacts app?

I think there is a bug in importing contacts from Google.
In Notes and some other fields, every text line is added 'r' character at the end.
It becomes like :

Where is the appropriate forum to report this?
thanks,

You don't "report it" to Apple on these forums. These forums are just "users helping other users" and no one here has anything to do with Apple.
If you want to report a problem with your iPad and its operation, and attempt to get a resolution from Apple, then Apple Support is where you go ...

IOS contact sync direction

Need help on this confusion.
Say I have an iPhone, didn't setup any email account, all contacts are manual keyin.
Now I have an iPad, I want to setup email account (say Yahoo mail) on this iPad, and turn on contact sync. Yahoo contacts are empty.
So when the setup is done on iPad, iPad contacts should be empty.
Then I setup the same on iPhone. Question:
Will existing contacts on iPhone be synced to Yahoo contacts then synced to iPad?
Or they will be emptied?
I am helping elderly, don't expect they willI use computer or iTunes, all sync are done via email account if it supports contacts sync.
Thanks.

You've basically answered your own question, as follows:
You are not using iCloud, nor are you using iTunes on a computer. These are the two vehicles Apple primarily uses for sync.

HT4872 Synching Contacts iOS to Google - contacts not transferring to Google

I have followed these instructions to the letter including re-booting and starting again. My Contacts are currently on my iOS device but are not being transferred to my Google contacts. When I open the contacts on iOS, it does not seem to have the turning wheel idicating that it is synching. My google contacts are empty and my ioS contacts are stubbornly sitting there. Why is it not transferring? Could it be the number of contacts that I have? (2900) Any help would be most appreciated....

I'm having the same issue! Have you discovered any solution? I just did a fresh reformat and could not for the life of me get my contacts to sync with my MobileMe account. I kept getting an error saying that the data was corrupt. So, I decided to try syncing with google but the option was no longer there.

How to send emails from an iPad to a group set up in contacts?

Apple Contacts "groups" show up in iOS7 contacts on my iPad, synced from iMac.
But I cannot get the group list of contacts to enter automatically into "to" on the iPad as happens automatically on the desktop iMac. So the "groups" on the iPad really doesn't have any functionality other than giving one a list of who is in a group per my assignment on my iMac.
So I end up entering manually each individual in a group in the "to" line when I want to send an email to a group from my iPad. On the iMac, selecting a contacts group will automatically list the addresses of the people I have put into a group. A known problem, and any solution?

Thanks. So matters haven't changed. Ipad and iohone systems still not make use of the groups created in OSX Contacts, although one can "see" the groups synced through iCloud. They just do not function as real distribution lists in Mail.
With the Mailshot app, one creates Mailshot groups with Mailshot group name. It's as smooth as a work around can get.
Silly that Apple iOS folks never got around to connecting the contact groups now listed in iOS Contacts through iCloud syncing to also be fully functional in iOS Mail for the purpose of group emailing.

Contacts and Mac OS Address Book won't sync anymore

I have an iPod touch, 2nd generation, with iOS 4.2.1, which has worked perfectly well for years.
Since I got an iPad 2 with iOS 5.0.1, and iTunes 10.5.1, and set up iCloud, and synced the iPad to my Mac, now my iPod touch will no longer sync any address book entries between iOS Contacts and Mac OS X 10.7.2 Lion's Address Book.
I've tried restoring the iPod touch to its factory-fresh setting and syncing with the Mac. I've tried rebuilding the Mac OS Address Book index, and repairing permissions on Mac OS X. Nothing seems to help.
Another clue is that the iPod touch Contacts stopped syncing at 512 Contact entries, while the Mac's Address Book had 521 entries. I think 512 is a suspicious number; is it an upper limit on entries that sync with iTunes and Address Book?
Any help would be appreciated.

The messaget is correct, that is, your iCloud calendar will no longer be on your Mac as long as you are signed out of iCloud. Your calendars will still be on you iPhone and on iCloud. After syncing your contacts to your iTouch, you then sign back into iCloud on your Mac and everything will be back as it was before you signed out. I did it on my Mac and have all my calendars and contacts as well as my wife's iTouch has all calendars and contacts.
You seem to be concerned about losing data, which is a valid concern. Do you back up your Mac using Time Machine? It is a great resource installed on the Mac to assure that if you commit any errors that resutls in the loss of data, then you can easlily restore it via Time Machine. If you have not been backing up your Mac then consider doing it. The Apple Store sales personnel recommended to me the LaCie Storage devices since they easily interconnect with the Mac. A Google search will find them at competitive prices as compard to what Apple charges. I am so paranoid about losing data that I have three separate 1TB LaCie drives backing up my Mac. I will be installing a forth as a network backup drive for my wife's Mac and my MacBook Air.
