IPad 2 has no contact record fields

iPad 2 running iOS5 syncing to iCloud.
My Address Book has ll the contact records I expect to see however none of the records have any populated fields, the "fields page" is blank. The Address Book on my iMac, iPhone and in iCloud are full and complete.
I have removed and re-added my iCloud account to the iPad and it has made no difference.
Any advice please?

Fixed....... create a new contact on the iPad..... that's a bug for Apple to fix!

  • HT5887 Air Drop does not transmit Contact info located in the Notes Section of the Contact.  How does one transfer All Fields of a contact record?

    Transferred a Contact from my iPhone 5S/ios7 to my iPad Air.  Successfully transferred the Contact including all ph numbers, email addresses, and street addresses.   But -- it did NOT transfer all the text in the "Notes" section of the original Contact.  Why?   Some of my Contacts also have a photo in the same Notes Section.  I don't want to sync the devices via the cloud because I just want selected Contacts.  Sharing via email does the same thing - no Notes.  Only way I've found is to Sync with Outlook Contacts on my Windows XP and Windows7 PCs.

    So far it appears Microsoft's Outlook program is the only contact manager capable of "Forwarding" a Contact record that is all inclusive of all the data in the Contact including the Notes data.
    While some may use the Notes field to store "secret or confidential" information...I've used it to store more mundane Notes that are not NOT confidential or sensitive in any way.  Moreover....only want to "Share" (Microsoft calls it "Forward") with my own multiple devices.  The "Notes" data might include a picture, another type of image, a map, a URL, etc.  I and the rest of the MS Windows user world began building Contacts in Outlook so long ago it is not practical to switch to iOS-based personal info management software unless it allows complete conversions or "Sharing" as Apple calls it.
    Microsoft figured this out years ago by allowing the user to choose whether to include Notes or not when "Forwarding" any individual Outlook Contact Record.  It sounds like we need Microsoft Outlook for iOS like we have MS Outlook for MAC.  With thousands of Contacts in MS Outlook 2010 I can't do without the Notes data in my files.  And it isn't practical to use a syncing function when I only need 10-20% of my overall contacts on some of my iOS devices.

  • Can two Apple IDs be linked so that they can share data? My iMac and iPad have the same Apple ID and sync contacts, bookmarks, etc. My wife's iPad has a different Apple ID. Can it be linked somehow to mine to share contacts etc?

    No. You cannot link your contacts to hers. However, you can use Home Sharing to share the information:

  • Ytd sales field in contact record

    Hi - I noticed there's a 'YTD Sales' field out of box. Is this maintained in anyway by the application? The reason I ask is we need a feature where a total sum across all a contact's accounts is kept - outside of a report, any ideas how I could automate the YTD Sales reflected based on the sum of account values? I don't see a way through workflow or defaulting rules to update one object (contact) based on updates to a related object (account).

    i'm not sure how that would work with joinvalue. Since I'd have to trigger it from the individual accounts, but then how to set the value in the related contact record? Seems like I may need webservices.

  • My IPad has my I cloud account set up but I'm trying to gt my husbands details up as his lost his iPhone 5 and needs his contacts and photos off it

    My iPad has my iCloud account on and need to gt my partners account derails as his lost his phone
    How do I do it from my iPad ??

    He could access his contacts by signing into his account on icloud.com.  You wouldn't need to sign into his iCloud account on your iPad.  If you want to anyway, you would need to save any photo stream photos that you wanted to keep to your camera roll, then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Delete from My iPad and provide the password when prompted (your data will still be in iCloud), then sign back in with your partner's ID.  (This will only allow you to access photo stream photos from the last 30 days as older photos are no longer in iCloud.)  When you're done, repeat the process, deleting your partner's account and data from your iPad, then sign back in with your ID to recover your iCloud data.
    Camera roll photos are included in the iCloud backup and can be recovered by restoring the backup to a replacement iPhone (they cannot be recovered by restoring the backup to your iPad).

  • My iPad has suddenly stopped printing to my hp AirPrint printer although it says that it has contacted the printer. My iPhone still prints o.k.

    My iPad has suddenly stopped printing to my hp AirPrint printer. It was working fine but now although it says it has contacted .the printer etc. nothing prints. My iPhone still prints o.k. So don't think it is the printer or router

    Try rebooting your iPad by pressing and holding the Home and Sleep buttons at the same time until the Apple symbol appears (Ignore the power off slider).

  • Searching Text in Contact Notes Field

    Hi,
    I have been a Windows Phone user all along. I am interested in switching over to Nokia.
    I am looking for one basic requirement of being able to search through the Contacts Field for any text.
    I use MS Outlook and store lot of text in the Notes Field inside each of my Contact and I need to be easily able to bring up all contacts that have a particular word or string inside the notes area. I can easily do this in Windows phone. But so far no nokia user has been able to tell me for sure if this is possible, if so how.
    Thanks in advance for your advise.

    Yes you CAN search the notes field (for any text) in a contact, but ONLY with Nokia's Search Utility (free download http://mobilesearch.nokia.com/index.html).
    The Address Book application is limited to searching by first name, last name, and company name only.
    The Nokia Search Utility is very good, but it's not exactly fast. Generally speaking the Symbian operating system requires patience.
    It's worth knowing that Nokia phones impose a limitation on the size of the notes field in an Outlook contact. The limitation varies from each Nokia model. But for example, notes (in a contact record) are limited to 255 characters on the N80, and 1,000 (one thousand) characters on the N95. On my old Nokia 6600 there was no such limit imposed, which was great. I often wonder why the oldest model phone had better support for Outlook sync, than the latest models - perhaps it's all about memory conservation.
    I also use the notes section in my Outlook contacts extensively. Ideally I would use a Windows Mobile device for true Outlook synchronisation. But I can't find a Windows Mobile device as capable as the N95, so I tolerate and find work arounds Nokia's sync issues.
    Nokia do a good job of updating their software frequently. Hopefully if it's demanded enough, they will remove the limitation on the size of the Notes field.
    Microsoft Outlook 2003 also has a limit on the size of the Notes field in a Contact Record, but it's much more generous at over 1,000,000 (one million) characters.
    Come on Nokia! Stop truncating the notes field!

  • ContactList_UpdateInsert will not update Contact Record

    I'm having trouble getting ContactList_UpdateInsert to work with Contact Records that have a username.
    1) First, I call Contact_RetrieveByEntityID('adminuser', 'password' , 1234, entity_id) to retrieve the contact record data for updating.
    cr = c.service.Contact_RetrieveByEntityID('adminuser', 'password' , 1234, entity_id)
    2) Then I modify some data, such as ExternalID
    cr.externalId = '123456'
    3) Calling ContactList_UpdateInsert returns an error:
    'Contact(s) saved in the system. Please review the list of error(s)/warning(s) found when processing the data.\n- Contact: John Doe | ERROR: The username [TestUser] cannot be assigned to contact with email [] as it is already used.'
    Manually adding the emailAddress field because it's not in the original cr record fixes that error.
    cr.emailAddress = '[email protected]'
    Calling again gives the error:
    Contact(s) saved in the system. Please review the list of error(s)/warning(s) found when processing the data.\n- Contact: John Doe | ERROR: The username [TestUser] cannot be assigned to contact with email [[email protected]] as it is already used.'
    It seems as though any time the contact record has a username assigned, I'm unable to update the record. What's the deal??
    EDIT: I thought I was posting this in the API section, but apparently not. Sorry.

    Okay I figured this out. When updating, you either have to supply externalId or emailAddress to match the record you want to change. If neither is supplied, or it doesn't match the supplied value, it adds a new record instead of update. So if you're trying to add an external id, you have to supply the emailAddress parameter as well, so it can match the record you want to change. I don't know if you can change the external id since it will try to match the external id before the email address.
    This is the explanation from the knowledgebase
    Please note that similarly to the import routine, you can utilize the External ID property to set a unique idenitifier value for each customer. If this value is present then customers are matched and updated accordingly. For example if every customer in your system has a member number, then assign that to the External ID property. If you do not utilize this property then the unique identifier used will be a customer's email address. If neither is provided then contacts are added and never updated as no unique identifier exists.
    I assumed that if you retrieve the record you want first (using Contact_RetrieveByEmailAddress), then make your changes and send it to ContactList_UpdateInsert, it should just update that record. But you have to set the emailAddress parameter.

  • Compare records fields?

    Hi,
    i have one requirement in the report. My user will select only 2 records from contacts at any time to run the report. Before executing the report it has to do some validation. If the validation matches then execute report. Otherwise report should say message proper matched field records not exist.
    for example.
    1) i have 1st record with data like this in one record
    contact name = test
    contact Phone = 000
    contact comments = xyz
    2) i have 1st record with data like this in one record
    contact name = test
    contact Phone = 000
    contact comments = 123
    in above records different is contact comments
    then report should execute.
    if suppose
    a) i have 1st record with data like this in one record
    contact name = test
    contact Phone = 000
    contact comments = xyz
    b) i have 1st record with data like this in one record
    contact name = test222
    contact Phone = 000
    contact comments = 123
    then report should say please select proper record with proper data message. At any time contact name and contact Phone should match.
    i have loop like this
    <?for-each-group:Contact[position()='1'];./ContactName?><?sort:current-group()/ContactName;'ascending';data-type='text'?>
    where to compare and write condition?
    Thanks,
    Anu
    Edited by: user7498756 on Sep 6, 2012 3:27 PM

    okay i have contact table. it contains several records. But user will select only two records at any time.
    once user select two records on contact, i have to compare 1st record fields with 2nd record fields. I explained the field with data in my posting. Hope you understand what i am asking?
    let me know if you need more clearly..
    Thanks,

  • My iPad has been syncing for 18   hours since I am trying to do the iCloud thing.  What happens if I stop the back up process? Getting tired of waiting for it to get done.  Could this be caused by the fact that I have 5gb of photos on the iPad ?

    My  iPad has been syncing for 18 hours / back up process since I tried to work with the iCloud.  Some items ie., contacts are synced to my new iPhone 4si and also books from the app store and also kindle stuff is okay.  No photos yet.  iPad has 5 gb of photos on it.  What happens if I stop the back up/sync process before it completes? Does it mess up my iPad??? Thanks

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info on any public forum).
    Apple can't help you find/lock a lost or stolen device. If you've can't locate it via Find My iPhone, or http://icloud.com on a computer, then you won't be able to try and locate it or remotely wipe it.
    You've reported it to the police ? You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc. and contact your carrier.

  • My iPad has a blue screen  What's wrong with it

    My iPad has a blues screen what's wrong ?

    Hold the home and power button down until it restarts. If it continues, restore it. If it continues and only happens in one app, contact the developer or update the app if it has any updates. If it happens with not just one app, reserve an appointment at your local Apple Store and have it replaced. http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/

  • Adding a New Contact Record link in a report

    Dear Gurus,
    I've followed instructions on how to create a New record link in a report using instructions from the Oracle CRM On Demand Reporting book but needed additional help in terms of how to auto populate the Account Name onto the New Contact Edit screen. I've created a custom Contact report that is setup as a web applet to replace the OOB Contact section that is showing on the Account Detail screen.
    On this report, I've created a hyperlink that opens a New record edit screen for a Contact record. I need to pass in the Account Name since this is a required field on the Contact Detail screen and needed help with the URL that I've entered as a custom text format in the column formula. From the M. Lairson's Reporting book, I've entered:
    @[html]*a href="/OnDemand/user/ContactDetail?OMTGT=ContactDetailForm &ContactDetailForm.Id="@target="_
    top">"Contact Details"*/a*
    (html not displayed correctly - I've to substitute < and > with *)
    This worked great but I need to pass in the Account Name. Can you help with a URL that will do what I needed? Thanks.

    Hi,
    Copy the URL from the contact create link and pass the values like Account Name etc by adding it to the URL, use & to separate the values.
    hope it helps,

  • The home button on my iPad has became faulty, it works sometimes although you have to press it really hard. Can Apple fix this for me?

    The home button on my iPad has became faulty, it works sometimes although you have to press it really hard. Can Apple fix this for me?

    They might be able to. If it's an iPad 2 then it is still within the warranty period, so as long as it's due to accidental damage it might be fixed/replaced free of charge. Have you tried contacting Apple ? I don't know what country you are in, and whether you are near an Apple store, but you could try looking on this page for your service options.
    Before you do that you could try a reset and see if it that helps : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons (assuming that it works) for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
