N73 Contact list showing Arabic contacts in jibber...

Hi,
hen I use PC Suit to view my phone contacts on the computer, it displays the arabic language contacts in jibberish format like this "ÃãíãÉ ÈíÊ".
I've checked my language and regional settings and they're ok.
Please help.

Just to check we got this right:
arabic contacts are OK in phone ? (I assume yes)
arabic contacts are garbled in PC after you update them to PC Suite in your PC ?
Do you use the Arabic version of PC Suite ? latest version is 6.81.13.
Does your PC have arabic code pages and unicode support, see

(I don't think there is necessarily anything wrong with your phone, if it is originally equipped with arabuc support)

"Recent contacts" list showing old contacts

I see a lot of questions about removing contacts from the new "recent contacts" list, and a lot of solutions saying to hide the list altogether. however, there is only one contact I want to remove from the list because they are not recent. I found one solution stating that you remove them, search for their phone number in messages, click the i and then click "remove from recent contacts" but this does not work because all messages, email, phone calls, and facetime from this contact was so old that it has already been purged (thus I don't get the i when I enter the phone number). This is a business contact, so I need to keep her number, but there are a lot more recent contacts from the past 3 months that I would rather have on my recent contacts list because they are recent. Is it a software glitch that she is still showing up on my recent contacts list? Is there any way to remove this contact specifically without hiding the list altogether?

It is standard that the personal list is not updated.
it is personal, you have to update it yourself.

How can I print out contact list showing info for contacts?

How can i print out my contact list showing info. (phone #, email address, etc.)

Go to my web site at https://sites.google.com/site/ipdparse to download macro and view documentation. IPD Parse runs on Windows and Excel. It produces reports for several DBs including Address Book (contacts). My contact information is on my website. Let me know if you have questions or comments. All my services are free.

Email contact list is 1/2 gone. I import and it's there again, then it's gone again. Contact list shows up in Explorer, but not Firefox. How to fix?

My contact list is half gone, the last half of the alphabet (all letters after "J"). I "import" my contacts from the same email account and magically they are all there again. However, when I click on Inbox and then go back to the Contact list, they are half gone again. When I open Internet Explorer, all of the contacts are there.
I'm In Firefox 22.0 and use Windows 7.
How do I get my contacts to stay put??
Thanks in advance for your help.

Why is my contact list showing Facebook profiles of people whose number I don't have in my contacts? Isn't the "contact list" supposed to only identify and match facebook profiles with contact phone numbers within my iphone?

When I went into the Facebook app on my iPhone 4S, I tried finding friends through my contact list. I thought only contacts with cellphone numbers matching a Facebook profile would appear to add as a friend. What's being populated are friends of my friends. Why is this happening? A friend of a friend isn't my contact. Shouldn't a true contact have a phone number in my contact list when attempting to match contact to Facebook profile or did things change with iOS 7.0.3??

Many mail clients reject images, JavaScript and embedded CSS styles. For best results use plain text near the top to communicate your message and give a link to the actual web page on your server.
For mail clients that do have limited support for HTML, use uncomplicated tables and inline CSS rules (inside the body tag).
All that meta data description is a red flag to spam filters. You shouldn't be using meta description or keywords in e-mails.

Local Contacts not showing in Contacts List

Local contacts list only displays two contacts, my own and an emergency contact after sync'ing my Samsung 10.1 tablet with Google.
1.Local Contacts.
When l now open Contacts app, l am constantly presented with 'Setup/ Sync/ Import' contacts.
Yet all my local contacts are still available in the 'Groups' tab.
Through the Groups tab some days ago, l ended up on the full Contacts list, yet am unable to find it again, so the contacts are all there, the problem would seem to be with the App itself?
2. Google Contacts
a) When l attempt to 'Sync' with Google, a repeated 'Sync' error is given. I am assuming this is because there are none and all contacts are saved locally.
b) Why is it not possible to sync Local Contacts with Google and thus have a separate backup.
What l have tried as suggested on 'Setup/ Sync' dialogue:
1. Syncing and reimporting Local Contacts - This has resulted in multiple entries within 'Groups' tab yet not updated main list.
2. Syncing with Google account. - Local contacts are not on Google account and as l said above 'Sync' error
3. Import Contacts - Tried loading SD saved Local Contacts vcf file.
Please advise.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Whilst there is little I can do regarding the syncing behaviour I may be able to resolve the first issue:
Main Menu > Contacts > Menu Button > Filter > Untick both options under the "Filter" Section > Ensure "All" is ticked in the "Local Contacts" Section under "Display Contacts" > Done.

Does contact list show company´s name??

I use my iPhone for my business contacts. When I add a new contact, I regulary enter first name, last name and the company´s name. The problem is that I have many contacts with the same first and last name *that works in diferents companys*. Since I can´t visualize the company´s name when I tap a letter, it comes up with, 3 or 4 contacts with the same name. So I have to open one by one until I find the one I´m looking for. The question is: is there any way I can configure my iPhone to see name in one line and the company´s name in the botton line in the contact list?
Thanks

I know it's obvious, but a workaround would be to add the company name/initials to the last name where such clashes occur.
E.g. First: Joe - Last: Smith (BT) - Company: British Telecom

After updating to ios 6.1.2 my contacts only show facebook contacts. I know my contacts are there because I can text by name.

I updated my phone last night to ios 6.1.2. When a text came in I saw it only showed a number but no name. It was a friend that should be in my contacts list. I then checked my contacts and it only shows facebook friends with no phone numbers. I then tried to send a text to a friend by name and it linked the name to the correct number but then only showed the number on the text and not the name. How do I get all my contacts back? I have many professional contacts that I need during the week. I'm pretty sure they are still there but just hidden somewhere.

nope. I think the update erased the contacts. The update was for an exchange calendar bug. This may have affected my contacts. I use windows mail version for vista. It just seemed simple to read mail without setting up outlook. So I guess ordinarily I would just get them off the computer thru itunes but without a program to sync to I guess they are gone. Some are still there with phone numbers but I guess only facebook friends. What a mess. I guess they are all gone. I had originally thought that they would be backed up. Now I guess I am building two or three years of contacts again. Wish I'd kept my old phone. Would have been worth the money to just keep that as a back-up.

Contacts issues - send contacts to at&t phone book or sim card? and un able to unsync email contact list with phone contact list

I have had several issues with my contacts on this phone. I cannot figure out how to send my contacts to the at&t phone book or to my sim card. The options/menu button in contacts is completely useless. It should give me the option on the sim card to transfer contacts form one list to another. I have already written on another forum about the contact list not letting me unsync one of my email contact lists and how I have 3 copies of all of my contacts because my email contacts are mixed in with my phone contacts.
BB really needs to fix this issue with the contact list because it is beyond frustrating. I even downloaded the new BB software today and it still hasn't been fixed.

OK...so this post is strictly about wanting to send your contacts to the SIM. That capability is one at a time only. And there's a reason for that.
The BB Address Book is robust, allowing you to have one name with multiple phone numbers and addresses. The SIM phonebook, on the other hand, is much less capable...if, for instance, you have one contact with three phone numbers in your BB Address Book, the SIM phonebook would require three separate entries to contain the same data (with the obvious duplication of the name on three separate records).
So, I must ask...why on earth do you want to send your contacts to your SIM? There are much better methods for moving your contacts from the BB to somewhere else...

Sync Outlook Contact List and AOL Contact List

I have several Outlook Accounts and an AOL Account. I would like to combine my calendar and contact lists into a single one. When I sync my phone, will the sync process allow mw to do that? If so, how?

The iPhone supports syncing contact info and calendar events direct via the iTunes sync process with Outlook 2003 or 2007. It doesn't matter how many email accounts you are accessing with Outlook.
The iPhone's mail client supports accessing POP or IMAP accounts, and can access an Exchange account via ActiveSync, which Apple licensed from Microsoft for the iPhone's mail client.
You can access an AOL account as an IMAP account with the iPhone's mail client, which includes an AOL account preset that creates the account as an IMAP account.
If your AOL contact list is not available in your Outlook contact list, you needs to do so since the iPhone does not support syncing contact info with the AOL program's address book.

Why doesnt contact list show full phone numbers

Why doesnt full phone numbers show on iphone5

Hi,
What do you mean by "full numbers" ?
And compared to what ?
It sounds like that possibly your Contacts apps on iPhone and Mac are not syncing.
Make sure this is On in both places.
