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.

  • 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.

  • Email and Contact Issues

    My emails are not coming through to my phone unless I manually refresh. I have three accounts setup (Yahoo! and 2 school email accounts). Both school accounts, when I sign on from a computer says something about Outlook: one says Mircosoft outlook and the other says Outlook live.
    I contacted my school and got the correct settings for each account. They work because I get the emails as long as I manually refresh. I initially had my phone set to check for mail every hour but after realizing it was not automatically doing this, I set it for every five minutes. That still didn't help.
    Out of frustration, I called Verizon who told me they knew nothing about such an issue. They connected me to Samsung who said the same thing. Apparently they were both lying as I have Googled this issue and see that it has been posted since Sept 2010. I just have not noticed a solution (possibly overlooking it).
    The solution that they gave me was so a hard reset (didn't work), delete then re-add the accounts (didn't work) or use a workaround. My response to their last suggestion was that I did not feel it was necessary for me to do that when the phone I purchased was supposed to handle email. This has been an issue since I got the phone in Nov 2010 when I switched to VZ. I didn't really notice it until this month because I was having text messaging issues which they didn't fix until this month.
    Samsung ended up telling me to send them my phone and they would troubleshoot it but I had to contact VZ about getting a loaner phone as they were going to have it for a week. When I called VZ back, they told me they would just send me a replacement phone and to not send the phone to Samsung because they could have given me a defective phone. The order wasn't placed because their system was down that Friday and the guy was supposed to call me back. He never did so I called VZ a third time.
    The tech support rep told me that she was positive that if I got a brand new phone I would still have the same problem because its a known issue that Samsung has yet to fix. Also she had the same phone and also some other people she worked with. She told me to make sure I deleted junk mail, sent stuff, kept the inbox down, and empty the trash and that should help. She was supposed to call me back and see if it helped (which it didn't). She never called back....that was Monday and today is Friday.
    Now I'm feeling like they are lying to me because they don't want to replace my device. Then on top of that they told me it would more than likely be a refurbished device instead of a brand new device even though I still have a warranty. Should I push for a new phone or is this really a known issue with Samsung that they have yet to fix? If it is a Samsung issue, what's the workaround until they actually fix it?
    By the way, Gmail works almost instantaneously. They told me to forward all of my mail there but that didn't work for my two school accounts. I don't like that anyway.
    As for the contact issues, I just noticed two weeks ago that my Facebook and Twitter contacts are unsyncing themselves. I don't have all of my Facebook friends or Twitter followers in my phonebook but those whose phone numbers I have, are linked to their Facebook and or Twitter accounts but I notice that both of these accounts unlink themselves. I have no idea why this happens. I keep having to go back into my phonebook and relink about 30 people to their Facebook and or Twitter profiles. Any idea why?

    In your email app, have you tried going into each account, pressing the menu button, account settings, and setting email check frequency to the desired time?
    If that's not the issue, then perhaps pressing the menu button at the home screen, going into settings, accounts and sync, and clicking the background data option is the issue.
    The reason why Gmail works well is that instead of polling (which is what the email app uses, where it queries the account to see if there's anything new), it pushes your email through meaning that it's virtually instantaneous.
    With regards to the Twitter and Facebook issue, try going into the accounts and sync area that I mentioned before.  There, you will be able to set the SNS sync interval and sync the contacts, birthdays, and whatever else it allows.  You'll probably have to click on each of those accounts to check various options before it will autosync.
    My frequency is set to every 5 mins. That hasn't worked. 
    The background data sync option is clicked already.
    The Twitter and Facebook SNS syncing is set. I have noticed though that sometimes when I go in there, the sync arrow is red by Twitter and Facebook. I uncheck the box and recheck it and then it turns green again. What I don't know is why it randomly turns red in the first place. I'm assuming this is the reason the Facebook and Twitter stuff unsyncs itself. 

  • ACS 5 and IOS command issued records

    on ACS Ver5.2.0.26.11, where can i find the records of IOS command issued from a router?
    thanks,
    Han

    Well, it depends.
    If you're sending accounting messages for commands from your router, it would either be in the report with Radius Accounting or TACACS+ Accounting.
    If you're performing command authorization it would be in the report for TACACS+ Authorization.
    If you provide a 'show run | inc aaa' it should be enough detail to determine what report you need to look at.

  • A list of known iPhone 4S' iOS 6 issues?

    Hello.
    It seems like many people are having issues with iOS 6 upgrade on their old iPhones (not the new 5). Is there a list of known iPhone 4S' iOS 6 issues of them so far?
    Thank you in advance.

    From this discussion   https://discussions.apple.com/message/16977127#16977127  the pairing is reported as possible.
    Pairing of your iPhone with other iPhone was not successfull. May be not done in the right way.
    iPhone pair with many BT devices without any problem.  I have Samsung Headset and they work.
    I would suggest you go the the shop and ask them to try with an head phone or let an Apple store check your BT.

    After updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 5, I have alot more contacts than I did before. Where did these contacts come from. I currently have my iPhone connected to our works Microsoft Exchange server and when you look in outlook alot of the contacts are not in outlook but are on my iPhone

  • IOS 5 Contacts issues

    After update to IOS 5 of my iPad 2, any application including contacts crashes immediately. E.g. Contacts application, Maps using the "i" button, Mail/Contacts/.... in the Setup, Contacts in the iCloud Setup. Any suggestion, apart waiting for a new rel?

    Hi there - it's me again - found a solution which involved a totally clean restore as a new iPhone.
    Do NOT USE an existing BACK-UP to restore or YOU'LL END UP WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS.
    When asked to sign on to iCloud ----DECLINE ---- then put your stuff back on piece by piece. After all that's done you can switch Contacts on in iCloud and Roberts your Auntie's husband.
    Once all done back it up a few times to overwrite old existing back-ups.
    Best of luck

  • 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.

  • Bluetooth IOS 5 issues with infiniti

    Hello,
    I am at a loss so far with my Iphone 4.  I recently purchased the Iphone 4 about 3 weeks ago and was able to pair it with my infiniti G37 no problem.  Well, after a week or so, I connected to iTunes and upgrade my IOS to IOS 5...BIG mistake...I am having intermitent calls through my cars bluetooth...it connects, then disconnects, the conmects, then disconnects...etc...  Aty any rate, I need my phone to stay connected!  I went from a droid to this iphone and I am seriously regretting this decision, as I had 0 problems ever with my droid.  I have tried disabling the bluetooth, deleting it from both my car and my phone and reconnecting.  I have done a hard reset, but nothing seems to work.
    Question:  when will apple be fixing this...it has got to be soon!  I cannot pssobily work wityhout bluetooth and sicne verizon FAILED to mention this issue, I am stuck with this phone, that is of no use to me for my work...
    HELP!!!

    I've been having the same issue with my '08 G35.  Apprently there is a problem with iOS 5 and Bluetooth; if you search this and other forums there are many reports of this issue with other manufacturersincluding Audi, BMW, Ford and Volkswagen.  Also, aftermarket stereos and even some earpieces are having similar issues. 
    I brought my phone to the Apple Store in Birmingham and the "genius" told me it must be a car problem and I should contact a dealer.  I contacted Infiniti Customer Support and the Bluetooth Department said there are no firmware updates available for the car.  The rep also said he has been hearing about this problem a lot. 
    I called the Apple Store back and they backed off their "it must be a car problem" line.  The employee said he would send some sort of report to Apple Engineering. 
    I have tried a hard reset of the phone after deleting the pairing from the car and the phone.  It helped but the car still drops the phone randomly.  I have also tried disabling then restarting Bluetooth right before I get in the car, also turning the phone to airplane mode then back to normal; neither reliably fixes the problem. 
    To me this is a more serious issue than the well-publicized battery problems.  People use this feature to safely make calls.  To have a system that will randomly stop working in the middle of a call is less safe than having no handsfree capability at all.  Especially for people like me with a manual transmission.
    Apple may want to think about fixing this before someone crashes his or her car. 

  • FXO/FXS IOS COMMAND ISSUES

    Hello,
    I've got 2 1760 routers with each a VIC2-4FX0 and VIC-FXS/DID cards. I've got 128mb of system RAM in them, running IOS c1700-advsecurityk9-mz.124-3.bin, which is supposed to be a voice ios with advanced feat. pack according to Cisco's website. I've also got 2x of the needed dsp's (can't remember model number, but its only 1 dsp chip on it - again cisco said 1 dsp would handle 4 channels, unless we're using the high-end codecs. My issue is that I cannot issue any of the voice-port commands. I don't think the hardware is somehow installed correctly. When I issue a "show hardware", they are not listed, however, when I capture a boot, they are listed as "card in slot 2/ card in slot 3" where the router allocates memory to devices.
    Can anyone please help? And by the way, these are default no config, all I have done on the one is give a hostname, fastethernet ip and some basic password sec. and that's it.

  • 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.

  • 2960s IOS Upgrade Issue

    Hi 
    I have a issue when i try to upgrade the IOS of WS-C2960S-48TS-L, the curretn version is 12.2(58)SE2 , the verison im trying to upgrate to is 15.2.SE6.
    I do the "archive tar /xtract tftp" command to extract all the files to the flash, then i do the "boot system flash:"  command to change to the new but when i reboot the switch it loads the new ios then loads the old ios and boot using the old ios, how can i change to ignore the old ios ?

    Here i am again...and with new weird news.
    I've made new tests and analisys on my six WS-2960S-48LPS-L.
    Cables are ok (said by TDR).
    Five on six no way to upgrade, from CLI, upper 15.0.1-SE. This is the newest working IOS i found, tested:
    c2960s-universalk9-mz.150-2.EX
    c2960s-universalk9-mz.150-2.SE6
    c2960s-universalk9-mz.150-2.SE6  <-- suggested by Cisco
    c2960s-universalk9-mz.150-2.SE7
    c2960s-universalk9-mz.152-2a.E1
    no way to boot, always the same error i've already posted.
    Tried to format the rom also, always same things.
    Anyway with 15.0.1-SE that should have fixed the poe problems, poe doesnt work...So i guess it's a hardware problem. Well ...5/6... i must say i have really bad luck...
    But now, give me your attention please.....
    One of them works, every port do its job with my voip cisco 7912 phones, with an old IOS also (12.2.58-SE2). So, i checked if it is a 2960S-48LPS-L for sure, serial number on case is the same i have on the package. It says it's a LPS-L. So, from CLI, i tried a show version....look at this:

  • IOS MDM Issues

    I don't want to sound silly, but I would just like to get a confirmation on a hunch that I have. I've worked with apple computers for some time, but its been awhile since I've had to play with the built in MDM features and it seems to have changed since the last time I used it. Long story short I've got some iPads I'd like to deploy to remote areas, but there are a few issues I'm running into. Keep in mind that I've been trying to, for test purposes, keep all my tinkering sandboxed before doing any kind of official real world release. So the server is currently on a closed local network with self assigned certificates.
    Running the server off a 2010 mac mini on 10.9 with an iPad on iOS 7
    1. To install 3rd party apps do you HAVE to have a VPP? (Even though I have them selected and setup for the device under the payload settings it doesn't seem to install onto the device)
    2. To setup remote management do you HAVE to have Apple Configurator? (Running into an issue with installing the enrollment profile, says it can't contact to the server, so I don't know if its a network issue, or a change in how apple MDM works now)
    3. I can't find a compatible version of Apple Config for 10.9, anyone know of one still on the net?
    4. So far I've been installing all my profiles via email. In a mass deployment scenario what would you suggest from experience? Once again does that come back to Apple Config?
    Suggestions are much appreciated

    Hi schaafsmaster,
    I manage 2,600 iPads using an MDM. I am very familiar with Apple Configurator, MDMs, VPP, and DEP. I'd be happy to answer your questions:
    1. To install 3rd party apps do you HAVE to have a VPP? (Even though I have them selected and setup for the device under the payload settings it doesn't seem to install onto the device)
    For Apple Configurator, you do not need VPP for free apps. However for paid apps, yes, you must be signed up for VPP.
    2. To setup remote management do you HAVE to have Apple Configurator? (Running into an issue with installing the enrollment profile, says it can't contact to the server, so I don't know if its a network issue, or a change in how apple MDM works now)
    No you don't need Apple Configurator (but you can use it if you want). You can use an MDM and either have users enroll through a web portal or via Apple's Device Enrollment Program (DEP) using a Pre-stage enrollment set up in your MDM.
    3. I can't find a compatible version of Apple Config for 10.9, anyone know of one still on the net?
    I would contact Apple to see if they can provide you with a link. Apple Configurator 1.7 is the only one on the App Store, and I wouldn't trust downloading from a 3rd party site. Call Apple's Enterprise Support at 1-866-752-7753 and let them know your situation.
    4. So far I've been installing all my profiles via email. In a mass deployment scenario what would you suggest from experience? Once again does that come back to Apple Config?
    We use an MDM to automatically install configuration profiles to our fleet of iPads. Given your description of wanting to manage devices in remote locations, I would highly recommend using an MDM for OTA management. That way you can make changes on the fly and deploy them wirelessly without having to use Apple Configurator which requires a physical connection.
    There are many MDM's out there that offer many of the same features. Robert offered the Enterprise iOS link that offers a good overview of most of the major players http://www.enterpriseios.com/wiki/Comparison_MDM_Providers .
    I would also strongly recommend you sign up for VPP MD for use with DEP. Here's a quick reference guide to DEP: https://www.apple.com/ipad/business/docs/DEP_Business_Guide_EN_Feb14.pdf .

  • Work connect on iOS - notification issue

    Hi all, I have an issue with the work connect nofitications on iOS. I need to be able to configure the app only to notify me on mails from a specific contact as I have to react only on that one during the night. I have deactivated the mail sounds within the work connect app and set the important contact as VIP, but the phone is still ringing on every received mail.....with an additional sound for the VIP.I assume that is not even possible at the moment.... But maybe the app could be changed to send only notifications for VIP´s to iOS and not for every received mail... Regards,Alex

    For posterity: the problem seems to be that I hadn't enabled netcfg@<networkprofile>.service with systemd. I had only enabled my wired profile. I.e. doing 'systemctl enable [email protected]' fixed it.
    In short this was a failure to configure netcfg startup with systemd. But hey, that makes it (drum roll...) a sysytemd issue! Like most of the problems one encounters while setting up a computer; it is a configuration issue (i.e. PEBKAC). But hey, thats what the forums are for.
    @Trilby, @WonderWoofy Thank you both for your insightful, constructive and, above all, helpful comments. I hope everyone else coming to this thread for information on why their wifi won't start will find them every bit as useful as I did.
