IPhone displaying deleted contacts when writing SMS

When writing a new SMS, I try to enter the name of the contact. My iPhone then displays deleted contacts. How do I fix this?

The only way is to erase all content and settings and then restore the iPhone as a new device.  Just make sure to back up the content you intend to save.  Do not restore form the backup because that will restore the text history as well.

  • Why is my iphone 4 deleting contacts automatically? They sometimes re-appear later but not always. My phone lost 1000 or so contacts today alone!

    Why is my iphone 4 deleting contacts automatically? They sometimes re-appear but not always. The phone deleted 1000 or so contacts today alone!
    Any suggestions?

    Robert, to clarify, I have the contacts section of icloud switched off. This was done some weeks ago in an attempt to stop this phenomenon. Didn't work. At one stage yesterday I had 1400 contacts but now it has swelled to 4500. Strange!

  • Why iphone displays "No content" when i try to browse by genre?

    Why iphone displays "No content" when i try to browse by genre?
    I have huge collection of songs. I have organised all audio according to album, genre, composer, artist and so on.
    after syncing my iphone when i tried to browse songs according to genre it says NO CONTENT.
    Prob is that I can browse it by album, composers but am not able to by GENRE.
    What should I do?

    Reset your iPhone, no loss of content.

  • My iphone started deleting folders when syncing or updating

    My iPhone has started deleting folders when I sync or update my apps.  This is a brand new problem since my recent software upgrade.  Never occurred before.  Any ideas what is going wrong?

    Standard troubleshooting...
    - Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    - If still a problem restore with your backup.
    - If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    I think your next step is to restore with your backup.  FWIW, I've not seen or heard of this issue.

  • IOS6 on iPhone 4s deleted contacts and calendar dates

    I updated iOS6 on my iPhone 4s and it deleted all my contacts and calendar dates.
    I have a 2008 Macbook Pro running 10.5.8 Leopard and iTunes 10.6
    I plugged in my phone after realizing all my contacts and dates were deleted. iTunes popped up and said that my iPhone was not compatible with it and I needed to download iTunes 10.6.3 or later.
    Since I am running 10.5.8 Leopard, I can't download iTunes 10.7 (which I think is the only thing I can download currently off of Apple).
    Does anyone have a solution for me on how to get my contacts and dates back?
    Thanks!

    Any update or response from an Apple employee/technician for this problem?
    I too have had everything wiped off my phone when updating to iOS 6.  Never had this problem before and was not clearly informed that the phone may get wiped (sure, there was an essay to read but, like most people, just clicked confirm).  Every other update I've had has gone smoothly without a problem so presumed this would be the same.
    Why was there not a clear warning stated before going ahead with the upgrade that your phone may get wiped and you will need to back it up just incase?
    Not a happy customer!
    NB was able to get my contacts back only via iCloud.

  • Iphone displaying Exchange mail when Entourage doesn't display same messages (sync issue)

    For the past few days, I've noticed email showing up in my Exchange mail on my iPhone 4, but the same messages aren't displaying in Entourage.
    There are a just a few messages that display on my iPhone but not in Entourage.
    I'm on a MacBook, v. 10.5.8 using Entourage 2008.
    I already emptied the Inbox cache in Entourage which ddidn't resolve the issue.
    Thanks so much for any help!

    Have you tried deleting and then recreating the Exchange account on your iPhone? Do these messages appear through OWA? What you see on your iPhone and what you see through OWA should be the same. If Entourage is the only place these messages appear then the issue is likely with the application and not the iPhone.

  • Does the iPhone display turn on when the iPhone is asleep anan alarm sounds

    My iPhone was asleep when its alarm sounded. It was in airplane mode (I didn't want someone calling me during the night). When the alarm sounded, I heard the alarm sound and the phone vibrate, but the display itself was still off; I had to press the on/off/sleep button to see it.
    Is that as expected?

    It's weird -- I set an alarm, put the phone to sleep, and this time the display did turn on when the alarm sounded. Hmm...

  • IPhone 4 deleted contacts & emoji's - HELP!

    My iPhone deleted some of my contacts the other day and left some of them. However, i noticed that the ones that were left - the emoji's i had next to the names has gone.
    I have had the emoji app since i got the phone in February and it has never been a problem until now. I keep replacing the emoji's next to my contacts but they seem to disappear as soon as my phone gets a text or something. It's really annoying because i can't remembering changing any settings on my phone or anything.
    I have tried deleting the app & keyboard - then reinstalling it. But the same thing just keeps happening. The emoji's are fine on twitter and my text messages, it's just in the contacts name they now keep deleting themselves.
    If anyone knows how to fix this or has any suggestions, i'd be very grateful. Thanks

    You are following the wrong guidelines. The Software Update option was not introduced until a later version. You need to connect to iTunes to update if you currently have iOS 4 or earlier.

  • Delete mail account on iPhone without deleting contacts

    I can find no way to delete all mail at one time on my iPhone 5s with iOS 8.1.2 except to delete the account. Then I get the message that deleting the account will also delete the Contacts, Calendars, and Notes—which I do NOT want to do. So, two questions:
    1. Is there a way to delete all the mail at one time? Or at least one mailbox at a time?
    2. Is there a way to delete the account without deleting the Contacts, Calendars, and Notes?
    Thanks for any help you can give.

    I called Apple support and they managed to solve my problem
    They gave me the following instructions:
    1. Go to appleid.apple.com, press "Manage your Apple-ID" and write in your current apple-id and password.
    2. Change your primary mailadress to your OLD mailadress (your old apple-id).
    3. Log on to your old email and confirm.
    4. Now you can write your ordinary password on iCloud in your iPhone, using your old apple-ID.
    (Settings > iCloud)
    5. If you would like to keep that apple-ID, you don't have to do anything else. If you rather want the previous apple-ID, you first delete the account on your iPhone.
    6. Change back your primary email address as it was before (on appleid.apple.com), and log on to your email to confirm.
    7. Now you can type in your current apple-ID account on iCloud. (Settings > iCloud)
    This solved it for me anyways!
    Sorry for the bad english

  • IPhone Commercials, my contacts when receiveing calls vs. on the commercial

    I noticed on the commercials that when they show the phone receiving a call the contacts picture and number show up on the same bar at the top and the rest of the phone has the wallpaper.
    My phone does not do that. When a contact calls the picture takes up the whole screen and the number is just on the bar.
    Does anyone notice the same? Is this a setting that I can change to?
    Thanks

    Excellent! I learned something new.
    Now off to

  • Iphone 4, save contacts when reinstall

    I've an iPhone 4 and it has been working great in 2 years and I hope it can last a bit longer. My prob is that it has turned to be very slow. I tried to reset it but there's no different. I suspect it could be some **** in the soft ware and thats why I want to reinstall the phone and not use the backup.  BUT I really need to keep my contacts, phonebook. How can I save only that? Can I in some way copy the contacts to my sim card as I could before witth my no-smartphone?
    Thanks for your help!

    If you use iCloud you can do a back up for just the contacts, turn everything else off for iCloud back up BUT the contacts and back up that way. Also if "some" email domains you can save contacts to as well.
    As a for sure real "just in case" and is time consuming but is also a last restore - write them down or make an excel sheet on your OS.
    Regarding the device being slower than normal, besides the reset step what else have you tried in troubleshooting to resolve the issue?

  • Why does my iPhone 5 delete music when I press shuffle?

    I am using ios 7.0.2. and have found a new problem that's been driving me crazy!
    When I press the shuffle button, my phone deletes music, between 2 and 10 tracks per time. Any ideas why this is happening and ideas to resolve it?

    Yes, that's the way it works. Once it's plugged in, you can turn it off. There's no harm in leaving it on, however.

  • Why doesnt the iPhone actually tell you when your SMS wasnt sent???

    I get spotty service at my house and 50% of the time my text messages don't send. But thankfully the iPhone doesn't alert me when my messages don't send. So usually I end up waiting 10 minutes for a reply and I check and my message hasn't sent. VERY ANNOYING(to me at least). Is there anyway I can get my phone to tell me if a message was sent or not sent? Or can someone sent this up to the Tech Guys at apple so they can include this in their next software update?
    Thanks

    In your first post you say:
    the iPhone doesn't alert me when my messages don't send.
    Then in the post above you say:
    i look at my phone to find the little red exclamation point and it says " this message was not sent".
    So, which is it?
    Are you complaining that you choose to wait 10 minutes before checking whether the message has been sent, despite knowing that you "get spotty service at your house"? How is that Apple's fault?
    Why not just wait a few seconds after sending for the iPhone to notify you that it hasn't been sent?
