IOS 7 Contact with multiple FaceTime ID

I recently updated my iPhone 5 to iOS7, however I found that in Facetime app I cant differentiate the two ID I saved as favorite for the same person. Say that person want to be reached by his phone number on his iPhone, and be reached by his apple ID email address on his Mac, it used to show the lable of the email you saved on your phone, now it just says FaceTime.
And it even got worse, when I press the FaceTime button in the contact app, I can choose which phone number or email address I wanna ring in iOS6, but now in iOS7 it just start facetime and I can't even tell it is calling the phone number or the email address.
Is there a solution for this?

Here is a solution from iMore.com.
iMessage and FaceTime are wonderful, empowering, enabling technologies that... can frustrate the crap out of you at times. One of those times is when you update or restore your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad to a new operating system - like millions of people just did with iOS 7 - and it stops working. If you're having trouble with iMessage or FaceTime, if they won't activate or simply won't work, here are some things you can try:
Turn FaceTime or iMessage off and then back on in Settings.
Launch Settings by tapping the icon on the Home screen
Scroll down to Messages or FaceTime
Toggle the switch from on (green) to off (white)
Wait a minute
Toggle the switch back to on (green)
Wait for it to re-activate
Hard reboot your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad
Make sure you're on Wi-Fi
Hold down both the Home button on the front, and the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device
Wait for the Apple logo to appear
If it still doesn't work, repeat step 1 (turning FaceTime or iMessage off and on)
Reset network settings
Launch Settings by tapping on the icon on the Home screen
Tap on General
Scroll all the way to the bottom and tap on Reset
Tap on Reset Network Settings
If it still doesn't work, repeat step 1, then step 2, above (Turning FaceTime or iMessage off and one, rebooting).
One of those, or a combination of both, should get you going again. If it works for you, or if you find any other ways to trouble shoot, let us know in the comments!

How to set default email address for contact with multiple addresses.

Apologies if this has been asked before, it seems a very basic question but I'm unable to find an answer.
Can a default address be set in Address Book for a contact with multiple addresses? Or if not, which address does it send to "automatically" when this condition exists? I know you can manually select the address you want to use, but what if the contact is added to a group?
Thanks
Denis

Thanks for the reply, buy I have no idea what this means.
I have the same question. I have a contact that has five email addresses. When I add the person to a group, Mail automatically selects one of the addresses, but not the one I want. I need to go back and manually select the correct address. Can't I select one of these addresses as the default to be used all the time?
Apologies for not quite understanding the first reply.

Contacts with multiple mobile numbers

Hello all,
This is my first post here, so please be patient with me. I searched through previous threads, but did not find an sufficient answer to the problem I am having. To set the stage, I will give you what I am working with
g-mail account with close to 500 contacts
iPhone 5, latest version 6.1.3
MacBook Air, latest version 10.8.3
I have my g-mail account linked to my iPhone as an Exchange connection so that I can view the contacts. I have my computer contacts program connected with Google as well. The problem I am having is that most of these 500 contacts have multiple mobile phone numbers. I am able to create this contact easily in g-mail and can relabel the phone types to match what they are. Let's say for instance:
Name: John Smith
Home: 111-111-1111
Mobile: 222-222-2222
Mobile:333-333-3333
etc.
I have done quite a bit of testing and found that the computer contacts matches up perfectly with whatever I put in there, including multiple mobile numbers. My iPhone on the other hand, does not show the second Mobile number. It will recognize multiple home, work, and pager numbers, but not multiple mobiles (it only shows the first one on the list). Why would it allow multiple numbers of the other types and not mobile numbers?
Is there something I am doing incorrectly, or has Apple overlooked a simple, important function? The things I do not want to do are:
create custom phone labels for my contacts as in mobile1, mobile2 - there are too many and this is an inefficient solution.
change all of the cell numbers to be work numbers - same as above, and what if someone else is updating g-mail contacts and does not follow the rule?
unlink the Google tie I have on the computer - this seems to be the only one of the two that works, and I do not want to have to constantly remember to download an updated contact list. The list changes constantly, and I know I would eventually forget ( I am looking for a poka-yoke here).
Any ideas about solutions?
Thank you for the help

I have no prblem syncing multiple mobile numbers so I don't think it's a universal issue with iOS. The only difference I see is I am using CardDav instead of using the Exchange option. Have you tried it that way? You can urn off contacts in the Exchange account and add the CardDav account separately.

Contacts with Multiple Backup Assistant + Contacts Entries

I have read others with these same issues. Unfortunately, the responses they are getting have to do with having multiple contacts and joining those contacts. That is not the issue. The issue is that each contact has MULTIPLE Backup Assistant + Contact entries. Meaning, when you you start typing a name to send a text message to, it shows you multiple phone numbers for that person (only, they are all the same phone number). For example, if I start typing Zoe, it will show you contacts that match, it will have Zoe 555-555-5555 listed 6, 7, 8, or more times. But wait, that is the home number, how you keep scrolling them until you get to the mobile number which is also listed 6, 7, 8 or more times. When you go into you contacts and select Zoe, and then go to Edit, you see why - There are 6, 7, 8 or more Backup Assistant + Contacts entries!!! These duplicates are what we are wanting to know how to remove. My daughter has only one phone number, but when I click on the her picture in the favorite contacts widget, it shows 2 and they are both the same. Even the BAL #225 shows up EIGHT times!!!!! When you go online (to the Backup Assistant), they are all listed there too. HELP!!!!!!!

Help with multiple contacts with multiple phone numbers

I'm fairly new to the iPhone so thanks in advance for any help with this issue.
I have contact list with records for a lot of people (300+), each with several phone numbers each, home, mobile & work, etc, .I can't seem to find a way to have the iPhone announce the name & number or name & type (home,mobile,work) of the caller from the contact list, my old cell phone could do that easily.
At the moment what I've been doing as a work around for a few (important) people is to create a custom ringtone for that caller & that phone number. Since it also seems there's no way to attach a different ringtones to each number in a single contact record I've had to create multiple contact records for each person, each with a different name/number combination such as "John Doe Work", "John Doe Home" or John Doe Mobile" then assign to it the custom ringtone I created for that name/number.
I need to this so that if I receive a call while I'm driving (or whatever) that I can't answer right then for some reason (often happens), the ringtone I created for that name & number helpfully lets me know who & where their calling from. It's very important to know where someone is calling from, if someone's calling from home then I know I've got some time, but if their calling from work then I need to get back to them quickly.
This is a real pain!, having to make multiple contacts & ringtones for a every person with multiple numbers is a extraordinary waste of time. My old cell phone could do this with no problem but there doesn't seem to be any way to do this with my new iphone. Am I missing something here? I am new to the iPhone so if there’s a solution to this that I’ve missed I'd very much appreciate the assistance.
Thanks in advance.

Choosing an email address on contacts with multiple addresses

Has anyone found a way, using Siri, to choose which email address to send to when a contact has multiple addresses? She asks which address would you like me to send the message to and I have found no way to verbally choose and address.

You cannot rename the labels in Outlook except by modifying the Contact form. Which, as a developer, I can do. However, my fear is that it won't be pushed to the iPhone since they already have unique identifiers now and they are only showing up on the iPhone as "email". While it may be that Exchange only labels them as email Android devices equate E-mail to Business Email and E-mail 2 as Home Email by default.
Maybe the next iterration of Siri will allows us to chose first, second, or third.
Thanks for trying!

Identifying which number a message is sent to for contacts with multiple numbers

Hi there,
Like many, I have a lot of contacts that have 2 or more mobile numbers stored against their name.
I sent a message to a contact who has 3 numbers. A couple of days later I wanted to check to see to which number I sent the message but I couldn't see any way to display this from the message. The only information given is the contact name of the person I sent the message to, not the number.
Surely there must be a way to do this by tapping on some part of the message. I tapped the message and got options "Copy/More" and "More" gives me the option to bin or forward. Tapping on Contact, gives me the contact name and phone/FT/info icons and tapping on the "i" icon displays the full contact details with the 3 numbers!
The only way I got round this to find out which number it was, was to split the contact in to 3 different contacts as in Name 1, Name 2, and Name 3.This then allowed me to see the number because the message list updated depending on the number that was used. So really, the number is definitely there somewhere, but how to get it!
Any ideas anyone please?
Thanks,
Maz

Hey Maz K,
Thanks for the question. This can be done by viewing the contact info in Messages. Simply tap “Contact” in the top right corner, then tap the icon. This will bring up the contact card, and the number the message was sent to will be highlighted in blue.
View someone’s contact info in Messages.
To quickly view someone's contact info in Messages, tap Contact.
- Tap to call that person or to use FaceTime
- Tap to see the person’s complete contact info
If they're not already a contact, you can tap Create New Contact to add them.

Address book groups: can't customize contacts with multiple email

I have many groups setup in address book and frequently like to use them. Additionally, several of my contacts assigned to groups have multiple email addresses. Is there a way to specifiy which email address of a contact's associates itself with the group? I have not been able to figure this out and am aggravated when I send out personal emails to my friends' work addresses, much to their chagrin.
Thanks in advance for the help and ideas!

Thanks Lanny, but that is related to an iCloud issue. My issue is not iCloud related at all, rather when I use a group on any platform.
I am hoping there is someway to set a default email to a group for a contact having more than one email? I haven't seen any other forums discussing that issue, but if you are aware of one I would very much appreciate your help. Thanks!
Then you would use the, "Edit Distribution List" from the Address Book's Edit menu. Select the applicable group and then select which email address that you want the group to use.

Syncing Contacts with Multiple Outlook Profiles

My outlook has multiple profiles (email addresses) within it, and I am prompted to select which one I want to open when I open Outlook.
Unfortunately iTunes doesn't seem to support this feature and insists on pulling contacts only from the first profile in the list.
Is there a way to stop iTunes from doing this and tell it where to get the contacts from?
Message was edited by: HLT1

Been a while since I messed with this, but give this a shot:
You have to set a default profile so that iTunes will use that particular profile. If memory serves me correctly: Control Panel>Mail>Show Profiles>Highlight the Profile you want to use>Always Use>Click OK. Then launch iTunes: iTunes>Preferences>Devices(under the edit menu)>Reset Sync History. Connect your phone & sync. You should get a popup about your contacts & calendars asking to verify your change. Once finished, go back to Control Panel & put everything back the way it was originally.

VIP selection will not work on contact with multiple email addresses

Trying to add more people to my VIP list. When selecting a name that has multiple email addresses, I select the address I want added and selection will not "stick" or accept that contact to VIP list.
Help?

Hiya!
Well first off... I'm baffled that you succeeded in setting up personal email without a data plan.
You need a data plan to access the BIS network which allows you web browsing (off wifi), email, BBM and the like.

Siri - Invite Contact with Multiple E-Mail Address to Meeting = No Invitation

Hi
Wondering if anyone else notices this weird behaviour of Siri when trying to invite a person to a meeting. I know Siri is in Beta but maybe this could help to improve its functionality.
Scenario
- Schedule a Meeting using Siri and inviting a person to that meeting (i.e send out invitation to that person)
- Person Contact in Addressbook has more than 1 e-mail address (like business and private)
Outcome
When trying to schedule a meeting and inviting a contact to that meeting, Siri will ask you what e-mail address shall be used. However, when the meeting has been added to your calendar, the invitee/attendee does not appear in the calendar entry and therefore never receives a notification.
How it should work
When doing the exact same thing with a contact that has only 1 e-mail address in their contact details, Siri correctly adds the person as an invitee and sends out the invitation to that e-mail address.
This is very annoying as I'm guessing lots of people have contacts in their addressbook with their business and private e-mail address.
Can anyone confirm this behaviour or is it just me? Any help is highly appreciated!
Addtional info / Stuff I noticed
- I'm synching my Addressbook through Exchange. Unfortunately, although in my e-mail programm offers different form fields for various e-mail addresses (business, private, home, assistant etc) they all show up as "e-mail" on the iPhone. Therefore Siri could not even distinguish which address to chose without tapping on it with the finger.
- Siri seems to be much more unreliable when trying to schedule a meeting with a person having more than 1 e-mail address. In contrast to having just 1 e-mail address in the contact, Siri almost always responds by saying "uh-oh there was a problem.. could you try again".

Please state your problem and we'll try to help you.

Business Contact Manager 2010 - is it possible to connect a Contact with multiple Accounts

Hi, I'm proficient with Outlook but new to BCM. Currently setting things up but have some Contacts who own more than one company or are on another companies Board etc.
My questions is - Is it possible to connect a Contact to more than one Account?
Many thanks

Hi,
Currently it's not possible. The workaround may be to duplicate the contact in Business Contacts to make that happen.

Sending emails to one Contact with multiple Addresses

Hi,
I am a volunteer with youth sports, and frequently need to send emails to entire teams of kids. I have the players all listed as one contact, but have the email addresses both parents and themselves listed under their contact. When I send an email, I need it to go to all listed, Parents and Players.
Separating the contacts would be a disaster, as when I need to contact a player I always need to contact, Mom, Dad, and Player...
I did create a group for my team, thinking this was the solution to my issue. Unfortunately, when I went to send an email, it only went to one email for each player. That lead to many complaints "Why did I not get the message"...
Love everything Mac so far, but this is killing me... and may keep me away. Outllook lets me do it so easily, why not mac.
I would appreciate any help.

Thanks - starting a brand new SMS rather than continuing an existing thread gave me the option of which number to choose, and the thread then switched to show all the messages related to that number.

Contacts with multiple numbers under the same labe...

i
I have many contacts which have numbers saved under the same label.
For example a contact like this:
First name: A
Mobile: 11
Mobile: 22
Telephone: 33
Telephone: 44
When I open Ovi Suite / Contacts / Contacts in E51 and open the abovementioned contact "A" it shows:
A
Mobile: 11
Telephone: 44
Mobile (other): 22
As you see it deleted one of "Telephone" labeled numbers. It also happened when I used PC suite.
It is really annoying as if I save/sync the contact using Ovi, it causes loss of contacts data.
BTW there is no problem using Backup/Restore function of Ovi/PC suite, nor "Copy to memory card" function of the phone itself.
Ovi suit version : 2.1.1.1
Nokia E51 v300.34.56
Windows 7
PS:
tested another one with 6 different numbers under the same "Mobile" label
the result in Ovi is:
AA
Mobile: 11
Mobile (main): 33
Mobile (other): 22
the other 3 numbers were lost

Ah, you have an interesting setup here.
Could you answer a few clarifying questions regarding this.
> When I open Ovi Suite / Contacts / Contacts in E51 and open the abovementioned contact "A" it shows
* Did you perform a sync? Or did you just connect the phone and look at the contact card in the phone view?
I had performed sync before and realized that some contact data are missing in my phone, so I started investigating to see exactly which contacts are affected by creating some dummy contacts and editing them by clicking on my phones icon below the window of "Contacts" tab in ovi.
* Did you check the contact in your phone (using the phone's UI)? Were all the details there - or are you saying that Ovi Suite lost some of the details?
In fact both. Ovi fails to extract and show some numbers and thus fails to write them back to the phone correctly. The lost details are purged from the phone too.
Just to confirm I've understood the scenario correctly
1) you have contact card in phone with two mobile numbers (same label) and two telephone numbers (same label)
yep
2) you sync with Ovi suite
Either Sync or directly open and save contact.
3) the mobile numbers have been re-labled to Mobile and Mobile (other) but the numbers are preserved
They are re-labled only when viewed in Ovi, but written back to the phone with the same "Mobile" lable as created on the phone.
4) one of the Telephone numbers is completely lost from Ovi Suite and phone.
And this scenario happened with this setup:
- Ovi suite version : 2.1.1.1
- Nokia E51 v300.34.56
- Windows 7
I just want to be clear on the setup and scenario so we can investigate.
thanks, Aki
I also done another test
This is the contact created in phone:
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:2.1
N:;A
TEL;CELL:11
TEL;CELL:22
TEL;CELL:33
TEL;CELL:44
TEL;CELL:55
TEL;CELL:66
TEL;VOICE:11
TEL;VOICE:22
TEL;VOICE:33

TEL;VOICE;HOME:22
TEL;VOICE;HOME:33
TEL;VOICE;WORK:11
TEL;VOICE;WORK:22
TEL;VOICE;WORK:33
X-CLASSrivate
END:VCARD
And this is what happens to contact when I just click edit and then save in Ovi.
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:2.1
N:;A
TEL;CELL;PREF:11
TEL;CELL:33
TEL;VOICE:33
TEL;VOICE;HOME:33
TEL;VOICE;WORK:33
END:VCARD
I also attached what ovi shows about this contact as an image.
