Maiden name field in contacts not showing on iPhone or iPad or iCloud

I've changed my contacts template, on my iMac, to include the "maiden name" field, years ago... And to this date that field STILL does not show on my other Apple devices; iPhone or iPad or iCloud. Am I missing something or does Apple continue to not include some of THEIR "Std" fields on the ios devices or on iCloud?

I just talked to Apple Support, after upgrading to ios7...and testing more with the maiden name field...
There reply was that the "Mainden Name" field is unique to OS X Contacts, and is no plans to bring it forward. I also just noticed that if a edit a contact that has this field on ios7 (the field doesn't show) and it syncs back via iCloud to my iMac...it wipes out the maiden name info!!!
I did notice that the new ios7/iCloud have several new/additional "relationship" fields, ie Spouse (which has been there) but now Mother, Father, etc....
Sooo... I guess I'll use the Father field to hold the maiden name info... works for me... :-)

  • Albums created on mac not showing on iphone or ipad

    I created an album on my mac photo app.  How do I get this album to appear on my iphone and ipad? Upload to my photo stream and icloud photo library are active on all of my devices.

    Currently both are active. I don't want to have all of my photos on the icloud.  So should I only be using "icloud photo sharing"?
    I created an album on my iphone and this album shows up on my ipad and macbook pro.  However, I created another album on my macbook and this new album doesn't show up on either my iphone or ipad.
    These albums are not shared albums...they are only albums for me. Isn't "icloud photo sharing" different from the albums I speaking about?  My understandind is "icloud photo sharing" is for sharing my albums with friends and family.
    Thanks for your help

  • Photos in pdf documents not showing on iPhone or iPad

  • Home sharing not showing on iPhone or ipad

    Hey
    My iPad and iPhone can't see the shared library. The iPad could see it for about 3 mins and the lost it and not able to find it again. The iPhone has never found it.
    iTunes is upto date and iOS on both are upto date. Using a Cisco router with sky broadband running windows 7.

    Your Cisco router is the problem.  I was having download speed issues with my Netgear cable modem, so I had called my ISP.  They replaced the Netgear with a Cisco DPC 3825.  That solved the speed issue, but I could no longer connect iTunes on my Mac to my Airport Express or my Apple TV.  The other Apple TV internet-based functions (Netflix, the iTunes Stores etc) worked fine. 
    I called the cable company again and asked for another modem/router (anything but a Cisco or Netgear). They installed a Motorola.  Everything started working properly again.  There is an issue with the Cisco DPC 3825, it blocks all devices that you might use to connect to the media on your computer.  This includes not just Apple products, but xBox, and Sony Play Station.
    Get a different modem/router from your ISP.

  • New events on Outlook 2010 not syncing with Iphone and Ipad

    I have gone through the nonsensical uninstall/reinstall every 5 restars. This time my new events or contacts on Outlook do not show on iPhone or Ipad. There is also a new confirguration where the Outlook does not separate the iCloud calendar from Outlook calendar but lists them all, then iCloud as a separate box at the bottom. I've tried dragging to that box with no success. I make about 50 appointments and reminders to my calendar each week and use all devices whether in the office or out. How dare Apple not fix this known issue.

    I just looked at topic called "Outlook 2010 - Outlook does not sync with iPhone / iTunes and used the fix suggested in that string of posts. It appears to have worked!!! My happy camper.

  • Contacts not showing up

    Im having a problem with my iphone 4. My contacts are in my phone when i search for them and also show up in my recent calls and text messages. However, whenever i touch contacts to bring up the list none of them are there. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hello everyone!
    For all of you out there who have received phone calls, text messages, etc, and have tried adding a contact by means other than directly via the contacts app only to have your contact not show up ANYWHERE (except maybe in a spotlight search), this quick troubleshooting guide is for you.
    Disclaimers: This can be performed on an Apple computer, I do not troubleshoot for PC's (however, anyone who knows their way around computers can easily modify the steps for a PC). This method can also be used if you sync your contacts via MobileMe like I do, and should work for the iPhone 3G, 3GS, and 4. I have the latest OS on my iPhone, but it should work with any recent OS. My iTunes has been updated to the most recent version.
    Step 1: Open Address Book on your mac. Make sure your address book view is extended to show your groups in the left column. Under groups, everyone will have a group labeled "All Contacts". If that's the only group you have, it's time to create another one. Click the "+" at the bottom of your group column and name your new group whatever you want. For my purposes (as this was an iPhone issue), I named my new group "iPhone Contacts". Do not add any contacts from "All Contacts" to your new group, as this will be unnecessarily redundant. Close Address Book, you're done with it.
    Step 2: Open iTunes and plug in your iPhone. Hopefully you have your settings to manually sync when you plug your iPhone into iTunes, otherwise wait until it's synced to continue. Click the "Info" tab in iTunes. The first option is Sync Address Book Contacts. Make sure this option is checked. Under the first subheading, make sure "All contacts" is checked. Below the groups box, there will be a line that says "Add contacts created outside of groups on this iPhone to:" and make sure this is checked as well. (Bonus info- Unless you created a contact directly via the contacts app on your iPhone, that contact ends up in another list. This is why you can't see it right now.) At this moment is where that new contact group you created in Address Book comes into play. Use the drop-down menu to the right of this option to select that group (remember mine was "iPhone Contacts"). Do not change anything else. Now click "Sync" in the bottom right corner of iTunes.
    Step 3: Once your iPhone is synced, open the Contacts app on your iPhone. If it opens to a contact list, tap the "Groups" button in the upper left corner of the screen. You should see two or three sections. The top section will simply be "All Contacts". The second section will be titled "From My Mac" and will display both "All from My Mac" and the new group you created in Address Book. If you use MobileMe, you will have a third section titled "[email protected]", under which your MobileMe contact group will fall. Make sure you tap the top group, "All Contacts". You will find those "missing" contacts now listed among all your other ones.
    Bonus: If you find you have duplicate contact names but neither contact has a full information card, you can edit the contact, scroll to the bottom and tap the "Link contacts" button, then link your duplicates to insure you have all the info you want.
    Success!! If you have any questions, let me know.

  • Feature Request: Add Skype option to user name field in contacts

    Feature Request: Add Skype option to user name field in contacts
    I know skype maintains it's own names but this is so you don't lose everrything when you move from one place to another. Or need to skype someone from an internet cafe with your iphone.

    Why not simply add the field by modifying the template?

  • I tried to rename a file, it gave me an error message (can't remember the number - 43??) and then the file disappeared from the original folder. When I do a search, the file comes up under the new name, but it does not show a path, and even though preview

    I tried to rename a file, it gave me an error message (can't remember the number - 43??) and then the file disappeared from the original folder. When I do a search, the file comes up under the new name, but it does not show a path, and even though preview shows the contents, I can't open the document (Powerpoint) and I can't move the document. I tried "Copy" and paste but it doesn't work. I tried "Share" with Airdrop and iChat, but the file is inaccessible. When i try to rename the file, it says the filename is too long.
    When I try to open it, it says the alias is not good, and asks if I want to fix the alias. I'm afraid to do that and lose all access to this document.
    Right now, it feels like a ghost document - it is on the computer intact, but it is in an undisclosed location and inaccessible.
    Please help!!

    I was able to resolve this by repairing permissions, even though no permissions error was listed specifically for that file.
    I could also have recovered it through Time Machine, but I'm interested in knowing how not to have this happen again!
    I was afraid of rebooting and possibly losing track even of the ghost.
    I did not try EasyFind - I'll keep that in mind next time.
    Thanks for all the comments.

  • Contacts not showing up on incoming calls although it is stored on my iPhone 5

    contacts not showing up on incoming calls although it is stored on my iPhone 5

    There could be any one of three solutions... Try these:
    1. Make sure you set your own country code at Phone Dialer Screen > Options > Smart dialing.
    Set your country code in this format: "+xx" where xx = your country code. Some countries have two or three digit Country Codes. Do not place the '+' in your contact's entry.
    * In the US, set this Country Code as "+1", and place your loca area code in the proper box (this normally the default setting in a new BB).
    2. At the same location, change the National Number Length to the number of digits for your country (since some countries will have less than 10 as set as the default in the BB). Find out the total digits, minus the country code. Do not place the '+' in your contact's entry.
    * For example, some countries have a total number to 8 (plus 3 for country code). You would enter "8".
    3. You may have "Content Protection" set on your Address Book.
    Look at Options > Security > General Settings. Scroll down to Content Protection > Include Address Book = NO.
    On your device, it could be at Options > Password.

  • Icloud not showing iOS7 iphone or Mavericks MBA

    Hi everyone,
    I just updated my iPad mini to iOS 8.0.2, making sure not to install iCloud Drive because 1) I have a MacbookAir running Mavericks (10.9.4) and  no intention of installing a beta version of Yosemite 2) I haven't had the time to update my iPhone.
    Even without installing iCloud Drive, when I connect to my iCloud account, both my MBA and iPhone are no longer listed under My Devices.. So my questions are the following:
    Does this mean that changes made in MBA or iPhone are not being transferred to iCloud? i.e. a new contact entry while not at home, or a calendar entry from an email checked on my mac?
    If yes, then how can I fix this?
    If not, then why are they not showing up?
    Thanks the help!
