Mixed phone numbers and names after sinc N9 and ov...

I have problem with my contact list. After i synchonised my previous N79 with N9, everything was fine. AFter adding new contacts to the new phone i wanted to synchronise it with ovi, i did so but it made completely mess with all my contacts. I cant say if i miss any numbers but it was way worse, it has mixed up names and numbers without any sence so I realised that under name A i had a phonecontact of B and C. At some names were suddenly no phone numbers. And some of them were even doubled - like there was the same number saved under both A and B but it belonged to C. I hate it, had to rewrite all the ontact list manually along the old phone. That took me hours if anyone can imagine. Now Im not brave enough to try the sync again eventhough i need to do that... Anyone having the same problem or even better - solution?

Try plugging your iPad into your computer and opening iTunes. Select your iPad underdevices on the left side of the screen and right click. You should be given an option torestore from a backup.
If this option is not available to you, you can go through the Summary tab of your iPad on the right side of the screen and if you scroll down under iCloud you should get an option to restore from a previous backup, where you select the most recent backup to put on your iPad.
Hope that helps.

  • How do I fix the mixed up phone numbers an name after upgrade?

    Wrong names appear with correct phone numbers, WHY?  This began after last Apple upgrade.

    If you're talking about Contact entries, your contact data was corrupted during the update.  Nothing at all to do with the update itself.  If you have a good backup, restore it.

  • HT4623 Why on earth don't you tell people to back up contacts and photos before they update software? There was no mention of the need to back up until it was too late. I have lost hundreds of valuable phone numbers and photographs.

    Why on earth don't you tell people to back up contacts and photos before they update software? There was no mention of the need to back up until it was too late. I have lost hundreds of valuable phone numbers and photographs.

    The update process DOES back up contacts and photos, unless you interrupted the backup. The manual tells you to sync contacts to an app on your computer, and to import photos regularly to your computer. So Apple DID tell you to back up, you just didn't bother to read it.
    If you didn't sync yet (and even if you did) connect the phone to your computer, right click on its name, and choose "Restore from Backup". If there's more than one backup choose the one with a timestamp before you updated.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    A lot more detail is needed to understand your issue...for instance:
    Your specific BB Model
    Your specific BB OS (all 4 octets)
    Your DTM version (again, 4 octets)
    Your PC PIM version
    Your PC OS version
    Good luck and let us know!

  • My personal ringtones are on my iPhone 5, they are attached to the correct phone numbers and play correctly when I test them on each contact.  But when I receive a call instead of the proper ringtone, it plays the generic.  What Am I not doing right?

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

    how to get i cloud to show phone numbers and not emails

    In the contacts app the information is as you have entered it.  You can include the added information you want for the contacts.  Open a contact and tap edit and add the information you want there and then tap done.  It soulds to me like Facebook friends who have email addresses only have been merged into your contacts

  • Does the iphone itself back up information about phone numbers and names before being saved?

    Here’s one to stretch your brains..
    I was adding a new contact in my Add feild (phone # and name) portion of my iphone 4 but was unable to complete the task. I had added a phone number and name and left this window open for half an hour. When I came back to it I accidentally pushed Cancel (my eyes are bad) I instantly realized y mistake but the name and phone number is gone. Is it possible that it was backed up automatically and I can recover this information?

    No. It was never saved, therefore there was nothing to back up. Not to mention the fact that it didn't get plugged into iTunes inbetween so there would be no place to back up to.

  • Hyphens, phone numbers and discretionary line breaks

    We have hit a problem with InDesign/InCopy. When we enter a phone number with dashes, InDesign will not create a line break on any of the hyphens. We want it to break on hyphens in phone numbers (that is our style). Is there any way to change ID/IC behavior?

    Apparently, InDesign CS3 treats the phone number as one object, regardless of the hyphens.
    I assume you are on CS3, since the problem does not arise in CS2. In my quick tests, if I put a discretionary hyphen following the regular hyphen, ID allowed the phone number to break but did not double-up on the hyphens.
    Option 1]
    You can use GREP to search for the phone number and put a discretionary hyphen after each phone number hyphen. (I would tag the phone numbers with a character style while I was at it.)
    Option 2]
    If you don't like GREP, create a character style called "Phone Number"; search for the phone numbers (^9^9^9-^9^9^9-^9^9^9^9) and apply the style. Then search for a hyphen set to the style and change it to a hyphen and a discretionary hyphen.

  • Why I get double phone numbers and addresses but not notes within a contact when I sync iphone 4S with Outlook 2007?

    I get double phone numbers, double addresses, but not double notes, when I sync iPhne 4S with Outlook 2007. How can I prevent it from happening?

    Yes, I removed iCloud add-on from Outlook; and uninstalled iCloud.  I then re-installed, and sync would not work (no tab for sync in Outlook either). There was no improvement.
    However, since reading your post, I have just tried signing out of icloud control panel and signing in again....and now all si working as it should.  Weird!!
    Thanks for your assistance.

  • Skype phone numbers and how they work?

    ok so here is what I know. With skype you can choose the country of the phone number you want your phone number to originate from. So if I choose my number to be an Australian number any person calling me from Australia will be charged at a local rate if from the same state.
    This is my question.
    If I set up my phone number to be an Australian number, then I travel overseas to Canada and someone calls my number, what will the rate of charge be for the caller? will it still be a local call since the number is an Australian number or will it not work at all????
    And will I in return be able to call back to Australia at a local rate since my number is australian??
    Also, Im assuming I need to be connected through wi-fi for someone to call my skype account from a land line phone?

    That is your phone accessing the internet, or media data.  Generally this was how older phones that accessed WAP sited reported their usage, instead of the way newer phones using the WWW report usage.

  • Is it possible to see my phone numbers and addresses that I backed up in the blackberry desktop manager

    I know it may be a silly question -- but I finally was able to download the blackberry desktop manager and then back up all the data from my blackberry to my computer via the desktop manager.  For my peace of mind, I would like to see some of this data (addresses and phone numbers) just to insure that I did the back up correctly.  Is this possible?
    Solved!

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    The file that contains the backup data is designed as proprietery to the Backup/Restore process. It is not designed to be read independently. There are some third party readers, can't recall the names (Amber-something-or-other?), but if you search for an application that can read an IPD file, you might find what you are looking for.
    Good luck!

  • Merging Phone numbers and email addresses in a new user account

    OK... here goes....
    For the last 10 years my wife and I have shared one user account on our desktop computer, a G5 tower.
    We have been able to successfully keep our 'digital lives' separate because I used Apple Mail and Address Book with my iPhone, syncing with mobile me. She used Microsoft Entourage and a flip phone.
    She has just gotten an iPhone 4S and I want her to be able to sync contacts with Address Book. So... I am FINALLY setting her up with her own user account and getting her to use Apple Mail and Address Book. We do NOT want my Address Book to sync with her new iPhone.
    I think I can import her messages and mailboxes into Mail in the new user account easy enough. And I am pretty sure I can get her Entourage email addresses into Address Book also. I have seen some articles online and I think I got it straight.
    Here is the part I am not sure about. When she got her iPhone last week the Verizon store transfered her PHONE NUMBERS into the iPhone form her old flip phone. How do we merge the email addresses (from Entourage) and phone numbers (currently on the new iPhone) into Address Book?
    I am asuming there are gong to be many double entries and such as the names will not match.... but i do not want to overwrite anything and lose data. Will we just have to suck it up and manually merge the data?
    We can not use iCloud yet, as the machine is not Intel and is only running Leopard. There is a new Mac Mini in our near future and I will get the iCloud running for her soon enough. And I anticipate no issues moving over her new user account, from the G5 over to the new Mini. 
    I ONLY use my white Intel MacBook running Lion and the iCloud to keep MY life in sync these days and doubt I will put my MacBook user account on the new desktop... but I might at some point.
    Thanks

  • Email showing Phone Numbers and Address for a Split Second then Disappears

    Hello - I have the I-Phone 4 and am having difficulty with receiving all parts of emails for my business. On incoming emails I am able to see the numbers for only a split second before they disappear. However, if I click on where the number should be (as the screen is white in that area), it will ask if I would like to call the number.
    Any ideas for fixing this issue?
    Thanks!

    Yes, I understand that. But The screen issue is not a result of user damage. The phone was not dropped when the screen got cracked. My daughter was standing in a chair at the table and dropped one of her toys onto the bottom of the phone and cracked it right by the home button. (Nowhere near the LCD/digitizer flex cables, connections, or logic board components) then a few months later my phone had died, I plugged it in, it showed it was charging, then Apple logo disappeared and screen didn't work. AFTER contacting Apple about the issue and them telling me that it "is a result of the very minimal crack to the sheet of glass that has no relation to the LCD or Digitizer and that the warranty does not cover it I had taken it upon myself to change the LCD/digitizer to no avail, as well as backlight ic and backlight coil to no avail. But how do I go about letting Apple know that it is in fact NOT due to the cracked screen nor is it due to the flex cable connections? I can't. So the lady that works the call center phones  trying to "convince" me that she knows what she is talking about and "convince" me that it is from the cracked screen I have to take her word because I can't show Apple that its not because of that without paying them $199 to fix the screen in which case they will just send me a new phone rather than fix the faulty hardware under warranty.
