IOS 8.2 - Initiating new email from contact list doesn't allow send

To whom it may concern,
I have noticed a strange issue with iOS 8.2 on iPhone and iPad where if you initiate a new email from your contact list, it will not allow you to press Send because it is grayed out. This option works fine in 8.1.3 and all other options to initiate and send mail appear to work fine in 8.2. I realize this isn't a showstopper, but hopefully this will get addressed in a future OS release. In any event, support case 765105326 has been logged detailing the issue.
Thank you

I had exactly the same issue, I solved it by restoring my phone to a previous backup where I still have my contacts (I recommend you do another backup before) make sure you deactivate the synchronization of your contacts with your ICloud account so you don´t allow ICloud to erase your contacts again ( do this before restoring) , Once you get your contacts back download a contact backup app, ( i bought the MCBackupPro which you can also use for free if you have less than 500 contacts). Keep them in a safe place and just be careful not to active the iCloud sync tab for your contacts on your phone SETTINGS> ICLOUD>CONTACTS TAB MUST BE OFF. Go to iCloud.com and upload your contacts file (.VCF) on the cloud so you have them backed up just in case, I recommend you do this once a month or after you add many contacts.

When composing a new email, my Contact list says I have none... I have over 100 !

The TO box used to auto fill when I started typing if an address was in my Contact list. The + at the end of the area for an email address says I have no Contacts

The mystery, however, is I have no problem with my email and contacts when I log into Safari..... Using the same Yahoo provider !

I've a new account on iMac. When composing an email the contact list does not show up on the bar. WWhen I start keying in a name, it comes up with the address. How do I engage the contact list from the email?

I've a new account on iMac. When composing an email the contact list does not show up on the bar, which would allow me to select the persons I want to include on the distribution of the email. When I start keying in a name in the email, it comes up with the person's address, which shows it is synced. How do I engage the contact list from the email like I do on my old account (where a contact list icon shows up, along with the "attach" and other icons) ?

With the New Message window open, go to the View menu and select "Customize Toolbar...".
In the screen that opens, drag the item labelled "Address" into the Toolbar area of the New Message window, then click the "Done" button.
That item should be then added to the Toolbar for the New Message window.
Note that the main Mail window and the New Message window (as well as the separate message window if you open a message that way) use different toolbars - the settings/inclusions for one do not carry over to another.

Bug: Failure to Send emails from Contacts after 8.2 update

After updating to iOS 8.2 sending emails from Contacts may fail. I can consistently get the following failure on multiple iPad/iPhone devices:
Open Contacts, select any contact with a valid email address field, select the email address, and a “New Message” window will open. Type in any subject and the “Send” text will turn blue – this is as it should be. Select “Cancel”, “Delete Draft”.
Return to Contacts. Once again, select any contact with a valid email address field, select the email address, and a “New Message” window will open. Enter any “Subject” text. The “Send” text will never turn blue and you will never be able to send an email from the Contacts.
The only way to once again send an email from Contacts is to end the email app.
This problem did not occur before iOS 8.2.

Others have seen it an reported as well.

Macbook 10.9.2 will not get new email from gmail

I believe I have found a solution to this problem of OS10.9.2 not being able to get my new email from gmail.
Go into Mail Preferences>accounts and select your problem account. Go down to "Outgoing mail server" and select the box "use only this server."
At first I didn't believe this would solve my problem because it's "outgoing" BUT it worked. My new messages instantly began loading. I quit mail and later opened it to see if I would instantly get new messages and it worked.
I was desperate and willing to try anything. Try it. You'll like it.

TS3899 I accidently turned ON contacts when I was turning ON my yahoo email account in settings and now all the emails from contacts have been merged to create SEPARATE contact right under the original contact name. Now I have double contacts for everyone

I accidently turned ON contacts when I was turning ON my yahoo email account in Settings and now all the emails from contacts have been merged to create SEPARATE contact right under the original contact name. Now I have double contacts for everyone with an email address!!! how do I UNDO? it says all CONTACTS WILL BE DELETED...when I go to turn CONTACTS to OFF.

Any contacts synced with the Yahoo account will be deleted from the phone if you turn it off. They will still be out there in Yahoo land, so if you turn it off and it deletes something you didn't want to, just turn it back on again.
It's extremely unclear what you did when you say " I only created contacts and typed in emails that I had for those contacts.....so I am still not sure how to UNdo what I did without deleting anything"
Undo WHAT, exactly? You said "I accidently turned ON contacts when I was turning ON my yahoo email account in Settings and now all the emails from contacts have been merged to create SEPARATE contact right under the original contact name."
Just turn it off.

I used my military (.mil) address as the backup for my appleID account, but now that I need to open the verification email from apple, the .mil doesnt allow me to open and verify that I am who I am?

Hey Edgew7,
Thanks for the question. The following resource may provide a solution:
iOS 7: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5223
3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
1. Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
2. Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
3. Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
4. Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.
Thanks,
Matt M.

How to send a number by SMS from contact list on 2...

Guys, I cracked my brains to solve how to send a number from contact list by SMS in 2630.
Maybe there's no such option at all?
Please help!!!
Message Edited by berzerk on 16-Dec-2008 09:24 PM

I don't think there is such an option on a limited phone like the 2630.
On phones running S60 such as the Nseries and Eseries devices (and a few others) there is an option to copy a number from the contacts into the clipboard and you can subsequently paste it into a new message. Older S40 phones like the 2630 don't have a clipboard facility to do copy/paste actions.

Problem loading an email from message list

When I click to open an email from the list (Inbox, Sent, etc.), I get: "There appears to be a problem loading the email "xxx". Retry". When I click on Retry, I get: "An unexpected problem has occurred. Performing your action again in a few moments will probably solve the problem. If it persists, we suggest you close this window and re-launch Yahoo! Mail." It does persist, but re-launching does not help. Please help me. Thanks.

This is because the SMTP server you have configured does not permit connections from off the ISP's network. When you are connecting via EDGE this is off-network from the perspective of the ISP.
Here are some hints from Apple on this problem:

You didn't say who your ISP is, but here are some common settings ISPs in various countries:

As a last resort in the US you can set the outgoing SMTP server to cwmx.com:25 with no user ID or password. This will work on EDGE only, not on WiFi.

Nokia C7 Dialing from contact list

I'm having problem dialing from contact list and recent calls. I can only makes calls when dialing the numbers. I can receive calls. Texting works fine from contact list and recent calls, but voice call can only be done by dialing the number .Phone has to reboot everytime it happens.

Hi Remembranze,
First of all, check via Nokia Suite and on the phone itself for any firmware updates that may be available. IF there is an update, please update to the latest version offered. If there is no update, then try re-installing your current firmware via Nokia Suite. Failing this, try Restoring your phone to factory settings, and if this doesn't work, then you try performing a three finger hard reset. Failing this, you will need to take your phone to your local Nokia Care point for them to inspect.
