IPhone 5s number of contacts

Sometimes I can see the number of contacts I have & sometimes I can't. Why is that ?

Yup, I've had that problem. I don't think it's indicative of anything significantly wrong.

How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

Phone A = phone with information you want duplicated
Phone B = phone that you want to copy from A
Backup Phone A.
Wipe Phone B using these instructions. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Phone B should be on the 'Hello' screen. Do not swipe it. Launch iTunes. Plug in Phone B.
When iTunes asks if you want to set up as new phone or restore from backup, choose restore from backup of Phone A.
After this setup, any changes to one phone (i.e. adding a contact, downloading an app) will have to be manually duplicated on the second phone, if that is your desire). Making changes to one phone will not affect the other after setup.

Iphone dialing. A basic phone allows number manipulation to add a prefix on a stored number in contacts, is there a way to do that?

This is specially useful while traveling and you need to use numbers stored in a domestic style. Adding the possibility to have a prompt or cursor in the number dialing screen would be very helpful

Further to my question Ill add an example:
I'm in the US and need to call to Mexico City, the way to do,it is +52 55 12345678. This number is stored (and has been stored for years in yahoo contacts) as 12345678, the way you dial it locally; so now in order to call I need to add +5255 as a prefix to my stored contact.
This is extremely easy in other simple phones and smartphones like Blackberry by copying, pasting and editing the final number you need but it seems impossible on iPhone. It requires a great deal of manual copying.
I travel a lot and would be very thankful for a solution

Maximum Number of Contacts on iPhone

Did the maximum number of contact change on the iPhone with the latest update? Prior to 1.1.3 I had more than 3700 contacts on my iPhone (I'm in sales and have my entire contacts database synced from Outlook). I have not been able to sync all of my contacts since the update. I have an iMac24 and a Windows XP Laptop. The problem seems to exist on both and if I remove a bunch of contacts I'm able to sync. I also received a new iPhone from the store today and I seem to have the same problem. Is anyone else having issues syncing large numbers of contacts to their iPhone?

not sure if this holds true for you but it did for me after long discussions for apple. though it is related to outlook on an xp computer
do you have more than one contact folder in outlook?
if so try this
Navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin.
run this at the command prompt in that directory with no quotes
"defaults write OutlookSyncClient.exe ShouldLog YES"
Outlook debug log file in Windows XP will be created and stored in C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Comuter\Logs\OutlookSyncClientHelper
The log file will be named osch.log.
so run the command and then do a sync. when you open that log file, scroll down or do a search for "ipm" no quotes included. you should see it says "contacts.ipm" or somethign to that effect. if it says other than "contacts" you have either a secondary contact folder or had at one time and outlook is seeing it as a default
also yo must run "defaults write OutlookSyncClient.exe ShouldLog NO"
to shutoff the log. VERY IMPORTANT cause if you dont the log keeps growing
i had the same issue, would only sync 137 outa 1300 contacts. it was because i had a secondary contact folder that i used to sync my razor phone too. it only held 250 contacts

I have a large number of contacts in my Outlook account. As long as that account is active on the iPhone (6 ) the contact are available on the phone but disappear when that account is removed from the phone. How do I transfer the contacts?

Archive the contacts you have in Address book, then delete them, they will be removed from iCloud as well. Restore the archive

The number of contacts on my Macbook,iPhone and iCloud are all different.

Really want to get this sorted if i could

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
This user tip might help you understand how accounts work with Address Book. (25)

TS4009 I deleted a large number of contacts on one iphone when i got a new one. icloud must have automatically synced to the old one, then synced my new one to that, thus deleting many contacts. can i restore them?

When a device that is connected to an icloud account has it's contacts deleted, the same contacts at icloud.com are also deleted and then the changes propagate to other computers and devices also connected to the same icloud account. In other words, the contacts are deleted everywhere. Also, any iOS backup to icloud does not include contacts or any of the other Apple data, like calendars, reminders, etc. The only way you can get that data back is if it was on a computer which has been frequently backed up. You restore the data from the backup. (This reference to "backup" is a local backup, it has nothing to do with icloud.)

I cant find the number of contacts in my iphone IOS7 by either going in thru the contact appl or the phone

How can I find the number of contacts in my iphone. When i go in thru either the contacts application or thru the phone i don't see the number at the bottom of the contacts. I have IOS7. I also saw in one of the postings that you could find it thru the Group in the upper left hand corner but I don't know where to find that. Thank you for your help

If you are a Verizon user try this:
Open the phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating "Settings updated."
Double tap the Home button to bring up the recently used apps list at the bottom. Locate the Phone, Message, and Contacts apps, swiping if necessary, and press and hold until they jiggle then press the red minus sign to stop them.
Wait a 3-5 minutes.
Try your phone again and see if it's fixed.

Can I limit the number of Contacts by syncing just an Address Book Group?

My Mac Address Book has 3000+ entries (yes, I use it for all kinds of info) which is fine on the Mac but is unusably slow on the iPhone 3G. It's also too many entries to sync with the Parrot Minikit Slim Bluetooth Car Kit, which has a limit of 2000 entries. So I need to cut my iPhone contacts down to a much smaller size.
Is there a way that I can limit the number of Contacts on the iPhone by syncing just a 'Group' from my Mac Address Book? Or can anyone suggest a solution?
Thanks.

Thank you very much Joe.
Just goes to show how little I know about the iTunes/iPhone sync system
Now I can just create a smaller 'Group' of my key contacts and keep them in sync with the iPhone - the answer to my prayers.

My iPhone is merging different contacts with the same firstname into one contact. How can i resolve this.

My Bosses iPhone is merging different contacts with the same firstname into one contact. How can i resolve this? He seems very disturbed and thinks i don't know what i'm doing. I've set up all his devices to sync across and now its messed up on his iPad, and two iPhones.
E.G Contacts with firstname 'Adams' and different numbers are synced into one account.
Now i have no clue how many contacts are this way cos he has a huge number of contacts (he's the ceo).
Please i need a suggestion on how to fix this.
Thanks for the help.

How do I edit the device in iTunes?
Double-click on the name.
My screen shot shows both devices because I sync wirelessly. Right now I can change the iPod name but not the iPad name because the iPod is idle while the iPad is syncing. In another minute or two, I'll be able to change the iPad name.

My number in contacts is an old one

How do you change "My number in contacts" when you have brought your number from another provider?

Iphone stores NOTHING on the SIM card.

Hey c3095016,
iCloud and iTunes can back up most data on your iPhone, including photos and video in the Camera Roll, Contacts, app data, and more. If you backed up your device using either of those methods, you can restore those items by following the directions in this article:

Can I call an iPhone (international number) using FaceTime for Mac?

I have a MacBook Pro. My husband, who's stationed in Okinawa, has an iPhone 4 with an international phone number. If we are both in a wifi area, does FaceTime for Mac work when calling an international number??

Yes.
Note that iPhone must be using iOS4.1 (or later) to FaceTime to Mac (or iPod touch).
On your Mac in your wi-fi area, click "Contacts", find and click on his iPhone's number. If he is connected to compatible wi-fi, he will get your invitation.

I have a Mac, an iPad and an iPhone. When I contact someone using iMessage, for example using my iPad, the entire conversation also appears on my Mac and iPhone - How do I stop this duplication?

Hello ctb4408,
With iMessage, it is meant to show up on all your iOS devices and Mac. If you do not want them to go across all your devices, then you will need to turn off iMessage on your iPad and Mac Pro.
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
