Has been like this forever no matter what iOS am I using.
Have been typing the contacts address in the NOtes field.
Any idead what have been causing this?

hola James
Didn't work. It results that I already did that half an hour ago.
installed last night the latest iOS and hanged up at 80% of progress bar on the black screen with white apple logo.
today in the morning was still frozen at that stage. Had to do a simultaneous On and Home button to restart the iPad.
I Was blessed, the iPad restarted OK with new iOS installed. this issue is happening all over the world with new iOS installation.
Fist thing I tried was to go to Contacts and check if the problem I've been facing was solved on this new version of iOS and nope.
No solution yet.
Many thanks.
Rob.

Unable to add contact to facetime or contact list, unable to add contact to facetime or contact list
OS 5. Unable to add contact to contact list or facetime. + sign disappears. Tried reset already Any thoughts?
Hi Jon-Ren: I had recently updated my Iphone 4s software to the latest one. and prior to this update, I did have the same issue of not being able to add or delete to my contact. I don't want to use my Icloud because it will overwrite the new contacts that was in my iphone. my icloud have old contact info which I don't like to overwrite into my iphone contact. I have tried that before and it mess up my iphone contact which prompted me to restore everything from scratch. it's a pain in the butt. I hope someone can find a solutions to these issue. I've viewed all the commenst above and I have done them all without any resolutions. I've been contemplating to give up on buying apple product(s) in the near future because of these issues. Hope somebody can share their experiences and help resolve this issue. I'm sure I am not the only one having this problem. Thanks...

Unable to add address when attempting to order photos
This is somewhat odd. The other day I ordered photos via iPhoto no problem. Tonight, I want to order more but ship them to a diff. address. Click on drop down box to add new address, account info window appears, I sign in, then a blank window appears. Anyone know what to do?
Thanks!I'm glad I checked the discussion forum and discovered that I'm not the only one who has encountered this problem. I've ordered many books in the past, but this week tried to add a new shipping address to my list, and the system will not let me add. I emailed customer support, and after realizing that I had tried all the proper steps, they indicated that they think it is a technical problem. I even took it to the Genius Bar where they double checked all my settings and couldn't figure it out. Customer Service suggested that I call Apple Technical Care at 1-800-275-2273. Hopefully they can help.

My iPad contacts disappeared after adding a contact
My IPad 2 contacts just disappeared after adding a contact. What will I do aside from syncing? Are there any other solutions?
Upon purchase of my iPad 2 I began saving contacts to my IPad Contacts application that is already set up upon purchase of iPad 2. I then learnt about synching ( push ) my Gmail contacts to the Ipad 2 contacts 'exchange'. I did this happily and was very pleased with the results however when synching the first time I chose not to delete my iPad 2 contacts I had began saving upon purchase. This meant upon opening 'contacts' I had three choices 'iPad contacts', 'Exchange contacts' or 'All contacts'. There is no way to save ipad contacts directly to the 'Exchange contacts' it has to be saved into a file or vcard and then imported in using e-mail or a PC.
A few days in to using push/exchange I also added calendar and notes to the push/exchange as I was happy with the contacts and e-mail. I did notice some glitches since doing using push/exchange although I think it began when initially I began pushing contacts/mail there may be a slight chance that it began when I turned on calendar and notes facility to the push/exchange. The glitches that began meant sudden blinking during or after saving in calendar, contacts and notes. Sometimes this would mean the item added was there but also sometimes it would mean that it was not. Also double entries began arriving on both m iPad and in my Gmail Contacts online. These were a mix of contacts that I had and had not not created or edited since acquiring my iPad 2 so the was no pattern or obvious reason. They were all also a mix of contacts from different groups saved in my Gmail contacts.
Today suddenly whilst adding a contact the contacts blinked shut again. I re-opened to see what had happened wondering if my contact had been saved or not however not only did what I add not get saved but all approx 500 contacts from both my iPad contacts and my Exchange Contacts vanished from my iPad 2. I opened and closed the contacts to see if they would return but there was nothing. I also hibernated and then later shut down and restarted the iPad many times to no avail. I checked my Gmail Contacts account and thankfully all my contacts were still there. However, it was still extremely frustrating to have everything vanish from my iPad and then not just come back from there especially as he e-mails and calendar seemed to be still working fine with Exhange/push. Also, why had the contacts saved to the IPad contacts directly vanished also ?!! For a £800 gadget not including accessories it really is unacceptable !!!
Finally what worked for me was going to 'Settings', then going to 'mail,contacts,calendars' and then selecting the 'exchange' account and then switching 'contacts' to 'off', then I selected 'delete' iPad contacts i.e delete the contacts saved in the iPad contacts group however with nothing there to lose this time and having a feeling that perhaps that may have contributed to the issues/glitches and this contacts vanishing I clicked on the 'delete'. I really do have a feeling that perhaps the issues may have been due to having two sets of contacts even though there were only a few there in the iPad before they vanished along with the Exchange contacts. I clicked 'done' and then I didn't hibernate the iPad 2 instead I shut it completely down.
Upon restarting my iPad 2 I went to see if the contacts had returned but unfortunately once again they had not. I returned to 'settings', then 'mail,contacts,calendars' and then selected 'exchange' from accounts and switched 'contacts' back on i.e enabled this once again and clicked done. I then once again switched off ( shut down ) my iPad 2 and waited a while. Upon restarting I again went back to contacts and found some of my contacts finally arrive but not all. My 'push/'fetch' for exchange is set to every 15 minutes and every push/fetch showed me more and more contacts until finally I had all but one which has still not showed up ! However, I am once again happy and this time I only have one contacts group I.e for exchange and no separate iPad contacts to confuse me or iPad. I don't know if this will mean all will be okay now as I do feel like perhaps I cannot now trust iPad contacts and maybe need to print out everything and keep this on me also just in case. I'll keep you posted ! -
I use the Notes section a lot in the Contacts application (iPad).
The copy paste function is still not working. When I type a note in the iPad Contacts application and select some text, select Copy, then Paste; I get a previous paste (-1) result, not the most recent copy result I am expecting.
Try "Normal" and "Modify" modes of editing "Notes" in the Contacts application.
There are a lot of little things like this that just make the basic apps broken. Quality control needs to be #1.works just fine on my ipad2 with latests ios version
likely the QA department are in the same boat -
How to add multiple e-mail addresses into my iPad Contacts?
I just received an e-mail with 40 addresses in the distribution list. Now I want to add all of the addresses into my iPad Contacts. How can I do this in one operation rather doing each of the 40 addresses individually?
Unfortunately you can't add all at once. But you save a lot of time by the copy/paste method (double-tap at a mail address, tap "copy", go to the "Contacts" app, enter the contact you want to paste the address in, tap "Mail address", then double tap again and tap "paste").

Ipad unable to add new contacts
updated my ipad to ios5. now, i see that i am unable to add new contacts on my ipad. there is no plus button
Hi I found this elseware and it does correct the problem
It all has to do with stupid iCloud. If you go to Settings - iCloud - Turn on Contacts and Calendars you will be able to add contacts and calendar events. Its so Apple gets to know everything about you, there goes all our privacy. Thanks apple....... with your new update...now you can sell our data to make you even richer -
I have my iCloud account synced to an iMac, MacBook, iPhone 4, and iPad 2. Any changes I make to a contact on the MacBook and iMac result in 2 different contacts on my iPhone with the same name.
In other words, making changes in the address book on my iMac or MacBook, adds another contact on my iPhone / iPad with the new information and same name. As an example, if I have "John Doe" as contact on all of my devices, and I decide to make a change on my MacBook or iMac, I suddenly have 2 entries on my iPhone as John Doe. They are not exact duplicates. 1 of the John Doe entries has my original information, and the other John Doe has my new information. Deleting the "old" John Doe contact deletes all of the entries on all of my devices and I lose all of my contact information completely on all of the devices for John Doe.
Making changes to a contact on my MacBook and iMac only causes issues with my iPhone / iPad. The synchronization between my iMac and MacBook work just fine, and a new entry with the same name is not created. My MacBook and iMac do not show duplicates so the "Look for Duplicates" function in my address book doesn't solve the problem on my iPhone. The only solution so far that seems to work is to go into the iCloud Settings on my iPhone / iPad, temporarily turn off my Contacts, thereby effectively deleting them, and then turning the Contacts back on. I did change my Apple ID email address recently so I wonder if that plays a role or not. My new Apple ID has been changed on all of my devices.
Hope that makes sense and hope some people out there have some ideas.If you are using Outlook 2011, make sure you have the latest service pack and update.
Make sure your Mac Book and all devices have the latest update.
If the Calendar on the Mac Book is correct go to step 3
Assuming Mac Book Calendar is correct, remove accounts from iPhone, iPad.
Reconnect account to iPhone, iPad account.
All calendars should now be in sync.
There are times when the Mail, Calendar, Contact application has been corrupted (Outlook 2011, Mac Mail, Entourage, etc). This will cause all kinda of issues on your devices. You have to repair the mail client first. In the case of Outlook you can delete the profile and recreate it. In Mac Mail you can rebuild (from Tools on the menu bar) -
Unable to add account to Outlook 2010 for email address under custom domain
I am unable to add a new account in Outlook 2010 for an email account set up under a custom domain.
Can anyone explain why login credentials that work for outlook.com (successful access to email inbox) return an authentication failure (401 error) when used to test connectivity via https://testconnectivity.microsoft.com?
Details:
I set up a custom domain at https://domains.live.com and did the following DNS configuration steps at my web hosting company following instructions from domains.live.com:
Created custom MX record
Created CNAME record [name:] autodiscover.jrergonomics.com [value:] autodiscover.outlook.com.
I created email addresses at domains.live.com > jrergonomics.com > Member accounts and tested by successfully logging in to outlook.com.
When I try to add either account to Outlook 2010, I get a popup box with this information:
Title: "Windows Security"
Connecting to [email protected]
[[email protected]]
[ ] Remember my credentials
[ OK ] [ Cancel
The credentials that I use successfully to log in to outlook.com don't work here; I get the popup box 3-4 times and then the Outlook 2010 Add New Account dialog displays an error:
"An encrypted connection to your mail server is not available. Click Next to attempt using an unencrypted connection."
Clicking Next results in an error message:

how do i allocate more memory from my hd to my iphoto application? i have over 80 gb on my hard drive, but only 1.7 gb allocated to my iphoto application & i am unable to add more photos to my library. i keep getting a popup that says not enough application memory.
There is excessive swapping of data between physical memory (that is, the memory chips on the logic board) and virtual memory (one or more files on the startup volume.) That activity is relatively slow and causes the whole system to be less responsive. It can happen for two reasons:
A long-running process with a memory leak (a kind of bug)
Not enough memory for your usage pattern
Tracking down a memory leak can be difficult, and it may come down to a process of elimination.
These instructions are for OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks.") The procedure may be slightly different for earlier versions of OS X.
When you notice the swap activity, open the Activity Monitor application and select All Processes from the View menu, if it's not already selected. Select the Memory tab. Click the heading of the Real Mem column in the process table twice to sort the table with the highest value at the top. If you don't see that column, select
View ▹ Columns ▹ Real Memory
from the menu bar.
If one process (excluding "kernel_task") is using much more memory than all the others, that could be an indication of a leak. A better indication would be a process that continually grabs more and more real memory over time without ever releasing it. Here is an example of how it's done.
The processes named "Safari Web Content" render web pages for Safari. They use a lot of memory and may leak if certain Safari extensions or third-party web plugins are installed. Consider them prime suspects.
Another process often implicated in memory leaks is "inkjet4" or "inkjet8," which is a component of the HP printing software. If it's present, force-quit the process in Activity Monitor to solve the problem temporarily. Empty the print queues in the Printers & Scanners preference pane (which has a slightly different name in each recent version of OS X.) If you don't use an HP printer, remove the software. Otherwise, if the problem is recurrent, update the software (which may not help) or contact HP support.
"Wired" memory should be a small part of the total. That memory is not swapped, but it makes less physical memory available which may then result in swapping. If you have a lot of wired memory, that's usually an indication of a memory leak in a third-party program that modifies the operating system at a low level. Ask for guidance in that case.
If you don't have an obvious memory leak, your options are to install more memory (if possible) or to run fewer programs simultaneously.
The next suggestion is only for users familiar with the shell. For a more precise, but potentially misleading, test, run the following command:
sudo leaks -nocontext -nostacks process | grep total
where process is the name of a process you suspect of leaking memory. Almost every process will leak some memory; the question is how much, and especially how much the leak increases with time. I can’t be more specific. See the leaks(1) man page and the Apple developer documentation for details. -
Can't find how to get iPad Contacts into new iMac Address Book
I've got a brand new iMac and if I look in the import feature of Address Book it wants to import from a file on my iMac but there's no iPad listed there even though it's plugged in. iTunes only seems to sync first time from iMac to iPad but all my contact details are on the iPad. Surely there is there some way to migrate my iPad Contacts to my iMac address book isn't there?
Data to and from your iPad is managed via iTunes. With your iPad connected to your iMac, open iTunes and then select the Info Pane. There you can choose to sync data. I would advise that you first right click on the name of your iPad in the iTunes Devices list and choose BackUp. Just in case anything goes funky!
From the iPad 2 manual:
Info Pane
The Info pane lets you configure the sync settings for your contacts, calendars, email accounts, and web browser.
• Contacts
You can sync contacts with applications such as Mac OS X Address Book, Yahoo! Address Book, and Google Contacts on a Mac, or with Yahoo! Address Book, Google Contacts, Windows Address Book (Microsoft Outlook Express), Windows Vista Contacts, or Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync contacts with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync contacts with only one application at a time.)
If you sync with Yahoo! Address Book, you only need to click Configure to enter your new login information when you change your Yahoo! ID or password after you’ve set up syncing. -
how do i erase a corrupt contact list from iCloud,iPhone, iPad and MacBook Pro and restore Address Book backup to all devices and cloud?
I saved a corrected, most up to date version of my master Address Book Contacts as a back-up on my Mac Book Pro.
then in an effort to "simplify my life" i attempted to sync my I phone contacts - ( pre clean-up version) with my clean list on Mac Book Pro, New I pad and newly available icloud. DUH!! Using iTunes to do the sync caused the clean MacBOOK Pro list to be commingled with the dirty iphone contacts. amd now the whole mess is in the cloud.
I need to clear out the contaminated lists from all iplaces, and startover with Back-up on my macbook pro. BUT HOW???
Help
KarenI had exported an address book backup: abbu
so since i wrote, i have found my way into the cloud: selected all entries - deleted them all from the cloud.
This wiped out contacts on my iphone and i pad, and MBP, as well as on the cloud. I then imported the abbu back into my now empty address book.
To repopulate the crowd, i selected all in my address book and created a single card vCard for export to my desktop. I then dragged that vcard into my empty cloud. Now my cloud has the same clean contacts as my MBP addressbook. The cloud then pushed the clean contacts into my empty ipad and iphone contacts.
I had to go back to Address Book>preferences>Accounts and Add an I cloud account - but if you accidentally create a second i cloud account - all of a sudden your address book will duplicate itself. I quickly reversed it by deleting one of the icloud accounts in my Address Book>preferences>Accounts.
I created a new entry on my MBP and it is now on all devices and in cloud
I also created a new entry on my iPhone and it is now in the address book on my MBP.
I feel empowered!!
Have i missed anything?? -
Add contact from Mail directly to Address Book group?
I am aware of adding a contact to Address Book by Control-clicking the email address, however I would like to add an address directly from Mail to an Address Book group. How is this done?
You first need to open the message(s) that have the addresses you want to add to Address Book, then select the Add Addresses… script from the Mail Scripts folder listed in the Scripts icon in the menu bar (you can activate this by launching the AppleScript Utility.app program in HD/Applications/AppleScript and check the box labelled "Show Script Menu in menu bar" if it isn't already there).
The script will launch and gather the information it needs about those messages, including the To: and From addresses and present them to you in a window; you need only check which ones you want to add and select the group you want them to go to from the drop-down menu it has and click Add or Okay, or whatever it has listed there to execute the script.
Rinse and repeat for each different group of messages you want to add to a specific group.

My iPad has a different Apple ID than the Apple ID on my computer. The iPad Apple ID has an email address that I no longer use. If (while on the iPad) I go to My Apple ID and try to change or add the email address that I now use (and which already is my Apple ID on the computer), it won't allow me to add it. It says : "Email address is already verified for another Apple ID" I haven't really been aware of this as a problem until I tried (for the first time) to sync my iPad to the computer and became aware that certain things wouldn't transfer. What is the solution to this?
What are you having problems with ?
This post was about having updated the primary email address on an iTunes account via a computer - if you do that you might need to log out of the account on an iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version of the account for that email address change to be recognised on your iPad. If you don't log out and back in then an iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch) might continue to show the old version of the iTunes account id.

I've noticed that when I try to burn a playlist to CD, I could set how many seconds between tracks (0 to 5). That drop down menu is still there but it doesn't seem to be functional now. It always defaults to 0 seconds, no matter what number in the dr
