IPhone Contacts won't let me "add to favorite"

I have an iPhone 3g - not the newest version - with the new 3.0. When I go into Contacts and then find a contact I want to add as a favorite, the only options it displays is "Text Message" or "Share Contact". There is no "add as favorite". What gives?
Thanks!

The "Add to Favorites" tab doesn't show if the contact is already a favorite - should show a star next to the number - or if there isn't a telephone # in the contact (email and physical addresses obviously can't be favorite numbers for the phone app). If the entry isn't already a favorite, and is a telephone #, you need to restore the phone in iTunes.

  • After syncing and updating my iphone my iCalendar on my computer lost most of my information. Including wiping out an entire calendar group.  When trying to readd the calendar group it won't let me add events to my calendar under that category.

    After syncing and updating my iphone my iCalendar on my computer lost most of my information. Including wiping out an entire calendar group.  When trying to readd the calendar group it won't let me add events to my calendar under that category. A message pops up that says: "You can't add events or to do items to a calendar group. Select an individual calendar in the calendar list, then create your events or to do items." Any help here would be greatly appreciated! I would like to either retrieve the old information or find a way to add the category back in to start over. Thanks in advance!

    hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music'  then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

  • Windows 8 itunes won't let me add anything to iphone

    windows 8 itunes won't let me add anything to iphone..apple community doesn't list the iphone as a product registered under my apple id, but the phone is listed on my authorized devices.  any ideas? and do i need to get it to show as a registered product?

    I have the same problem. I can't sync any apps or music on my iphone. I can't sync any music purchased through itunes on my ipod. I haven't even tried connecting my ipad for fear that it'll mess that up as well. I try to authorize my macbook but I get an error. The weird thing is that I am able to still play all of my purchased music through itunes so it seems that the authorization is at least somehow partially recognized.

  • ICal-all events deleted and won't let me add new HELP!!

    Hi there,
    Recently I started my iCal and all my entries were gone. Not only that, but it won't let me add new entries no matter what I do. As well, my to do list on the right is blank and the space on the left where my calendars were listed before is also blank. If I go into my computer I can find the files from iCal with the information but they aren't showing up in iCal itself.
    HELP!!
    Thanks

    klgreene595,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    1. Can you associate this behavior with anything that you recently installed on your computer?
    2. Are you using MobileMe, or any other sync software?
    3. Do you have any backups such as Time Machine, or an iCal archive?
    4. What calendars do you have listed in your sources pane?
    5. Have you subscribed to any calendars?
    6. Do you have an iPad or iPhone?
    7. Where have you found the iCal files on your computer?
    8. Have you attempted to repair disk permissions?
    9. Try refreshing the iCal plist file. You will find the "com.apple.iCal.plist" file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Quit iCal, and drag the .plist file to your Desktop. Then log out/in or restart.

  • My Game Center account won't let me add friends on this device. Can anyone help please?

    My Game Center account won't let me add friends on this device. Can anyone help please?

    What's more, it's absolutely ridiculous that there's no direct way of contacting Apple about this. In fact, as far as Game Center is concerned, there's no support network at all.
    It's either sheer idiocy or arrogance in action, here. Products go wrong - even yours, Apple.

  • My iPhone 5 won't let me use my apps until I connect them with iTunes after downloading ios7. Solutions?

    My iPhone 5 won't let me use my apps until I connect them with iTunes after downloading ios7.  There's just a thing that pops up and says that in order to activate banners and push notifications I have to connect the app with iTunes. The thing won't go away no matter how many times I push ok, and it doesn't give me another option. Solutions?

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • Just downloaded 10.7 and it won't let me add videos to iTunes.

    Just downloaded 10.7 and it won't let me add videos to iTunes. Previous version worked fine. I tried to "add file to library" nothing. I've tried to drag the file....nothing. Just a red circle with a line through it. Any suggestions?

    These sound like interrelated problems that are probably system errors/issues on your computer.   I see you are already pursuing them here  https://discussions.apple.com/message/16835461#16835461

  • Iphone 5s won't let me delete a song, and its a christmas song that I don't want on my phone.

    I don't understand why the Iphone 5S won't let me delete artist, instead I have to delete each song. Does apple know how annoying that is? Espcially when every frickin song  Glee has ever reease goes on my new phone. I already hate this phone and i just got it yesterday. I'm done with Apple, they need to get there **** together.

    You purchased it originally, and so it remains. I have two albums which I now don't want. I called about it before I got my 5s and was told there was no way, because it was a purchase I made. When I got my 5s I was hoping I could get rid of them, but you can't. They don't want people's music to disappear and then want it back. It is frustrating, but they feel they are helping people.
