IOS6 Upgrade - Contacts will not save

Ever since upgrading to iOS6 on my iPhone 4S, new contacts will not save to the list; however, when I type in the number their name will appear on the outgoing call.  This is very frustrating. Any idea how to get the contact to actually appear in the list? 

I have this problem in 10.8.2 on a mbp 2010. Don't know how long I've had the problem but noticed it when I needed to rely on some important information that I had previously added in the Note section of a contact. When I closed the app and relaunched it, the information was no longer there. It doesn't happen all the time so its frustrating and I don't know if I can rely on this app. I don't sync contacts across multiple devices or on the cloud. I just keep things simple and use it locally on my mbp.
Here's a couple of instances that confirms the problem along with a WORKAROUND:
Apple care support - advisor was able to replicate the problem and said he would report it. Kudos to the advisor for this workaround: after you edit a note of a contact, click on another contact, then click in the note area of that contact before you close the application. This seems to work most of the time.
Best Buy - salesperson was able to replicate the problem on a 15" mbp retina osx 10.8.2. The desktops, mbp's and mba's with osx 10.7.x did not seem to have the problem. (Interestingly, when the salesperson repeated this a few times, the Contacts icon disappeared from the dock and he had to go search for it and drag it back to the dock.)

  • Safari 5 will not Save a pdf

    Apparently since the OS 10.7.4 upgrade, Safari will not save a pdf from a google search page. Error message is "cannot export  (file name)". Any Mac users know what is going on here? Firefox works fine. I've ;ooked in Safari and Finder prefs but can't find anything that would relate to this. Trying to download some Camera RAW tutorials. Bookmarked them in Safari, and later d/l  in Firefox which sends them to Finder> Downloads by default.

    For anyone else who runs into this problem, go to your hard drive's Library/Internet Plugins and trash the two AdobeReader plugins that have PDF in their name, then restart Safari.   Many others have had this, starting with some Adobe update. It si probably not copnnected to 10.7.4, since one complainer was using Snow Leopard.

  • After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading.

    After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.

    The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
    Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update?

  • UPGRADED 10.4.11 ON MACBOOK PRO TO 10.5, NOW UPDATES TO 10.5.8 WILL NOT SAVE, "DIGITAL SIGNATURE DOES NOT MATCH". ANY IDEAS.

    UPGRADED 10.4.11 ON MACBOOK PRO INTEL TO 10.5.1 (FAMILY PACK VERSION), UPDATES TO 10.5.8 WILL NOT SAVE DUE TO, "DIGITAL SIGNATURE DOES NOT MATCH". ANY IDEAS? CAN I UPGRADE TO 10.6.1 WITHOUT SAME ISSUE.

    Well, not sure if having the disk in a firewire case or over a network would have made a difference.
    The solution of making a disk image as in article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2664 was what worked for me.
    After, mounting the disk image the Migration Assistant completed without errors. So far everything seems to be working like it did on 10.4.11.

  • After upgrade to Lion, iPhoto will not save events nor save albums after created.

    After upgrade to Lion, iPhoto will not save events nor save albums after created. Once iPhoto is shut down and re-launched, albums and events created no longer exist. How can this be fixed?
    Also, when attempting to create cards, iPhoto freezes.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Photos will not save after upgrade to iOS 7

    Hi!
    My iPhone 5 will not save the photos I take with the camera, or other apps.
    After I take it and goes to the Camera Roll, there is nothing there.
    This was not an issue with the iOS 6. And the settings are the same.
    Everything is ok in Settings-Privacy-Photos. And in Settings-General-Privacy everything is Allowed.
    Does anyone else have this problem?

    You have to download the proper ipsw file again: http://www.ipswdownloader.com/
    And install it on your iPhone, using iTunes.

    My Mac Acrobat XI 11.0.7 will not save as WORD/ PowerPoint / etc.
    Is there anything I should check out or turn on so I can save PDFs at PowerPoint?

    Rave
    Whenever I try to save a pdf to WORD, POWERPOINT OR HTML page I get this error --- Save As failed to process this document. No file was created.
    Problem occured when I upgraded to XI. I am using a Mac OS X 10.9.4 and Mac Office 2008.
    I have been on chats with Adobe online and on the phone several times and they can resolve the problem.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled Acrobat XI but still have problem

  • Photoshop CS will not "save" or "save as" my canon 5d jpegs

    CS works fine for me. No need to upgrade. But it does not like my jpeg files from a Canon 5d. The program just freezes when I try to save or save as.
    I've looked at the file permissions and preferences. Can't see anything, but who knows? Any advice gratefully received. Tried renaming file, tried converting to TIFF but no luck so far. Argh!
    I'll attach a file if anyone wants to look at the settings.
    Best wishes, Patrick,

    Just replied in the PS forum. Yes reset all tolls works. File opens and Saves As - but on opening gives warning
    "embedded ICC profile cannot be used as is invalid. Ignoring."
    So somewhere - uploading from camera or loading into PS something sometimes goes wrong.
    So I'm not much wiser, but thanks for the fix anyway. Best, P.
    PS Was not a freeze as such, the main screen dims, and I regain control by clicking on a PS window on my second monitor. Did not check what Task Manager has to say - but will next time it goes wrong. Thanks.

    When you save "freeze" do you mean that Windows Task Manager says it's "not responding" or is it crashing or what?
    Out of curisity, when you do this, what happens when you press ESC on the keyboard? If the program comes back, then it might just be showing up off the screen.
    You might just try resetting preference per this FAQ:

  • Outlook 2013 will not save Compact Navigation Option setting

    We have started upgrading some of the machines in our office from Office 2010 to 2013, (win7 and win 8 machines). I have found that Outlook will not save the selection of "compact navigation" in the "Folder Pane/Options" settings. I
    have tried a complete uninstall/reinstall of office 2013, resetting cleanviews, profile, etc. I cannot get it to save this setting. It always goes back to the extra large "Mail, Calendar, People, tasks" navigation. Any ideas? This is happening on
    muiltiple machines that we have upgraded from Office 2010. 

    Copying answer from similarly asked question:
    FOR THE FIRST STRING (To keep a compact navigation pane):
    Press the START button and type in "regedit"
    On the left side drill down to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Options]
    Under EDIT in the toolbar select NEW>KEY and name it WunderBar. Make sure you have the new key selected.
    Under EDIT in the toolbar select NEW>DWORD (32-bit) Value and name it ABCompact. Make sure you select it.
    Under EDIT in the tool bar select MODIFY and change the value to 00000001
    FOR THE SECOND STRING (To modify the order of the navigation items):
    With regedit still open.
    On the left side drill down to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Preferences]
    Under EDIT in the toolbar select NEW>String Value and name it ModuleOrderAB. Make sure you select it.
    Under EDIT in the tool bar select MODIFY and change the value to 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
    Adjusting the order of the numbers will adjust the order they appear in. For instance in my case I wanted NOTES to show up fourth so my string is 1,2,3,5,4,6,7,8,9.

  • Aperture 3.0.2 will not save Print Presets

    I am extremely frustrated right now as I burn through very expensive paper. Aperture 3.0.2 will not save any of my Print Presets. I have two Epson Printers a Epson Photo 900 and and Epson R2400. I want to print to the Epson R2400 and when I do, the photo comes out all screwed up it keeps putting in Adobe PDF 9 as the printer. I had my printer completely dialed in and could print orders with no problem in Aperture 2.0 lost all those settings upgrading to 3.0. Attempted to duplicate them, but it will not save my Printer or Paper Size. I have an order to fill and it's looking like it's going to cost me money because of all the paper I am wasting trying to get this to print. Tried numerous posted tricks and nothing is working.

    I discovered the image quality was a more basic duh thing. Had to clean my print heads. However, the Presets will STILL not save my printer or paper size.

  • Key will not save

    I have installed 7.1.3 and upgraded to the pro version but the key will not save. After entering the key the "buy quick time" button is replaced with "quicktime pro 7" as described in the install instructions. The key will not save and the Pro features are not unlocked. I have unistall, deleted all registery keys found, reinstalled the stand alone version rather than the itunes version. No luck.

    I also just uninstalled 7.1.3 and installed 7.0.4 as a couple of other posts suggested. Same result, key does not save.

  • Scan will not save

    Windows 8.1 - HP MFP1536 will not save the scan. You can see that the document has been scanned but it will not save it. I tried saving the scan to different file types such as .pdf or .jpg. No go. When I run HP Scan doctor jit just sits there and churns away.
    This is a follow-up to a situation about a month ago where the scanning control panel would not even open after a forced windows 8.1 upgrade. At that it was recommended (on this forum) that the HP print software be uninstalled and reinstalled. I did that and it resolved the one issue - getting a scanning control panel. I never checked the functionality of the scanner at the time as this is my wife's machine. Today she neede to scan an item and it will not save.
    What should I do?

    I am sorry that you are still seeing nothing. I would like to find out if scanning is successful on your machine. During a scan the HP Scan software saves scanned images to the user's temp folder prior to finalizing and saving the scanned document. Please try another scan, but before clicking 'Save' or 'Done' in the scan preview dialog, check the current user's temp folder location for scanned images.
    Location of current user's temp folder: C:\Users\<current user>\AppData\Local\Temp\hpscanNNNN\
    where <current user> is the name of the current user on the system and NNNN is a random 4-digit number (you will have to choose the hpscannNNNN folder that was most recently created).
    (Hint: you can enter %temp% in Windows Explorer as a shortcut to the above folder path)
    (NOTE: you will need to allowing viewing of hidden files and folders to see the 'AppData' folder)
    In this folder should be the scanned files that are "ready to be saved". If files exist, then the scan was successful and there is something (a bug in the software?) that is preventing you from saving the files. If no files exist, then the scan was not successful (a different type of bug in the software or drivers) - and you shouldn't see any scanned images in the scan preview screen.
    If you see scanned files in the temp folder, then you can use them (cut & paste to your folder location). But, this doesn't solve the larger problem of saving to your chosen local folder location.
    Another thing to try: save a file using a different application to the same folder location you are trying to save scanned documents. For example, try saving a BMP from Paint or a TXT from Notepad. Does this work?
    Uninstalling and reinstalling the HP software probably will not help, but you can try this again if you'd like. (You mentioned in your original post that you already performed a uninstall/reinstall.)
    Regarding the HP Scan and Capture application, most of the 'not-so-good' reviews had to do with connectivity of the scanning application to various HP All-in-One printers. Many of these connectivity issues have been corrected; and, if HP Scan and Capture application can successfully connect to your device, then is a good, albeit simplistic, scanning application that will allow you to save your scan to a file. It might be worth a try. (If you don't like it, then you can always uninstall it.)

  • Firefox will not save my passwords

    Firefox will not save my usernames and passwords. When I enter a password on a site FF will ask me if it wants to remember it. I always click "Remember Password". When I go to options>security>saved passwords it's always a blank field and I have no sites listed under exceptions.

    I'm having a problem where Windows Live login won't remember both of my ID's. In FF 3.6, I used to be able to click in the empty username field and select which ID I wanted to use but since upgrading to FF 4.0, I can no longer do this.
    I don't want it to remember passwords, just usernames....help pls.

  • Itunes 10.5 update will not save or update!

    Need help!
    My itunes 10.5 update will not save, and i need itunes 10.5 to update my phone HELP!

    Same here - I'm running 64-bit Windows 7 and have had the same problem since just before upgrading to 10.5 (64-bit) and now after too.  Same issue occured a couple months ago (I *think* last when iTunes updated), when I was directed by Apple support to close iTunes, clear all Apple process in Task Manager and try again which fixed everything (also tried suggested fixes of moving old backups, deleting the backup folder, etc).
    Seems like syncing\backups are breaking with every iTunes version upgrade (and only 64-bit Windows systems?)
    This is very frustrating to be left hanging right when big updates are available.

    Very weird day in Firefoxland
    First on a Powerbook G4 running 10.4.11 I respond to an invitation to upgrade to Firefox 4 (like a lot of others). Long story short, I wind up losing the browser altogether -- including all bookmarks. Why? Because neither the Firefox homepage (or CNET downloads) makes it clear that 4.0 is for OS 10.5 only! Amazing!
    Then I try to register to post a reply in a thread that crits Firefox for not making this System Requirements info upfront clear. But the Register page I’m taken to (https://support.mozilla.com/bs/users/register) is in SERBO-CROATIAN!!
    Then I try to log into Chat a couple of times and when it’s not CLOSED its a long line waiting and THEN it closes.
    WOW!! Are the wheels off the wagon here or what!?!
