My iPhone 4S randomly loses contacts, even if I have re-entered them into the phone. Tonight 12 of the contacts I text to are no longer in my address book. Their text window just shows their phone number. I need help.

I need help with this problem, is there a solution?

Mine continue to do the same thing. I have stopped my contacts from syncing with icloud (not that they were anyways) and re-entered a bunch. 5 minutes later some are missing phone numbers or are completely missing altogether. What is causing this and how can I stop it??

If I upgrade to ios 5.1.1 on my iPhone, will I lose all my apps or have to redownload them?
Or how can I prevent this?

Now everything should remain the same as it was prior to the update.
But a good practice is to always do a backup prior to any update - "Just in case"

I cannot change my phone number. NEED HELP!!!!

I want to change my phone number, but the website always told me"The activity you are trying to perform is currently unavailable. Please try again later." What can I do for it?

Call customer service - 800-922-0204, choose option 4 (Other) and say "Agent" when prompted. You should be connected with a live person who can get your phone number changed.

Also, what are the source of your contacts? are they created on the phone, or you synced from yahoo/hotmail etc.
If thats the case, the circular arrow wont be visible but instead show "groups"
Contacts from different accounts are not synced to iCloud.

HT4528 hi, my iPhone is already completely updated and I want my iMessages to go to my phone number, however my phone number shows up on the settings screen for that, but will not let me select it to be used. How do I fix that?

Thanks to all who responded. You are all absolutely correct. However, this Ipad was a gift to my wife who was dying of cancer in the hospital and wanted some entertainment. So I started it out with her Apple ID. After she passed away I moved from Sacramento to Austin and eventually proceeded to get the Apple ID changed from my wife's to mine. Meanwhile when she was in the hospital I opened an Itunes account in my name to buy movies for her. That was the first mistake.
Then during the move to Austin I lost track of the IPAD and later found it and tried to use support but could not remember the proper ID. Later the folks at the Apple store helped me create a new and novel Apple ID that was unfortunately unlike any other.
The botom line is that I am stuck with three Apple IDs and three passwords. I am told by Apple there is nothing they can do about this as IDs cannot be changed or destroyed. I can quit using them or start a new account but when I try to do that the system keeps remembering too many things from the past and resists.
Even if I sold this Ipad and bought a new one, the system memory is still there.
I think the real problem is that destop and laptop computers are totally owned by an individual and that individual can control logins and passwords to his liking. IPADs and similar Apple products are different in that the corporation has built in their own intrusion detection schemes because of the relation to Itunes.
One thing I thought about is to open a new Itunes account pretendding to be a new customer with my regular Apple ID. Perhaps I could do the same with Apple Support.
Thanks for your comments.

I deleted a contact out of my iPhone 4S but when I go to send a message the contact appears although that individual is no longer in my address book. I deleted all text and call history pertaining to the deleted contact but still shows up.

Yes. That is why I added...
it will disappear over time due to non-use.

I just bought a new iPhone and accidentally backed it up with my old iPhone backup, I do not want this. I lost everything on my new phone and I need it back. PLEASE HELP! This includes pictures and texts, etc.

So just to be clear, when you say "just bought" how long ago was that? Is it on this new iPhone that you had pictures, texts, etc that you want? Were you backing up to iCloud or onto iTunes?
This may not help for everything but if you go to iCloud.com and log in, are you able to find your pictures there?

E90: How to enter a space into a phone number?

Hi,
does anyone know if it's possible to enter a space into a phone number in the E90's Contacts manager? It is possible with my Nokia 9500, and I transferred my contacts from it to the E90, and spaces in phone numbers were preserved, but when I enter a new contact I can't find any way to enter a space! This is very frustrating, as I find it very useful to pad out numbers with spaces, for example to make it clearer which provider a mobile number has, or what city code a land line has, and it also makes it easier to read out numbers over the phone. I have the same problem with hypens, which are handy for separating extension numbers from the rest of the number. I see that there is an optional label "Extension (bus.)", but that's not much use if the extension is for the fax machine...

Solved!

Thanks for your suggestions, and for bringing OVI to my attention, which I hadn't heard of before. However, all the suggestions require the use of another computer or service, whereas what I want is to be able to work with my communicator "stand alone" as far as possible, without having to rely on other systems, especially Windows systems! One of the features I most appreciate about the E90 is the USB interface, which means I can make backups without having to rely on software that only runs under Windows. In my case this means I can make backups to my Linux PC very quickly and easily, without needing to install any special software.

I don't know about the E90, but with the E61 and E71 you can:
- add spaces from OVI and then update the mobile
- add spaces in Outlook (or whatever PIM you use) and then update the mobile
- import a text file (using PC suite) with spaces from your PC to your mobile
My guess is that all of the above would work with the E90. Let me know!

I just upgrade from the 4 to 5s. Are my apps supposed to transfer over and perhaps it just takes time to load like my email and pitures. I tried to install apps and it showed that they are already downloaded. What do I do to get them to show up?

Hi, Twilavegas3.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your restored from a backup and the apps that are missing on the device show "Open" in the App Store, then they are located on other pages on your iPhone or are in folders. Also, with the iOS 7 update most developers have changed icon badging. This can cause some applications to be difficult to find.

The ID Program folder will be relevant to your OS...
I took a shot and right clicked on my Scripts Samples, choose reveal in Explorer and opened up the ID Program folder.
As shown, there is a Fonts folder.
Drag/Copy/Paste fonts to this folder.

You sould have been given the option to delete them after importing when you imported them, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
To do this on your phone, open the album you want to delete photos from (so you are viewing the thumbnails), tap Select, tap the photos, then tap the trash icon. (There is no "select all" option.)

Hi there cortleavis90,
You may be able to download the purchases from the Past Purchases section of the iTunes Store. Take a look at the article below for more information.
