Nano displays contacts details wrong

Hi everybody,
have any of you come across a problem with contact details with contacts that were synchronized from Outlook ?
Although I don't really like Outlook, I've installed it to sync my Contacts and Calender to my Nano 5G.
So I entered all the details I know about my contacts like email addresses, websites, etc. But after syncing my contacts and calender to the Nano, every email address is shown as "work". Not "email", "email2", "email3" or something like that. The same with the website. My Nano doesn't say "website" or "www" but "work", although everything is correct in Outlook.
So every contact looks like this:
John Apple
mobile 001-555-12345
home 001-555-23456
work [email protected]
work [email protected]
work [email protected]
work www.facebook.com/people/John-Apple
Could anyone please give me a hint if this is a bug or what I could do about it, so my Nano would correctly display these details ?
Many thanks,
Andreas

Of course I have a Nano 5G. That's what I've been writing in all my posts :-o
"*Although I don't really like Outlook, I've installed it to sync my Contacts and Calender to my Nano 5G.*"
So why do you ask if I've got a Nano 5G ?
I had actually hoped for only ONE person with a Nano 5G to check out his own contacts and see if he's got the same labels displayed for the different contact data. This would actually help me more than driving to an Apple store a few hundred kilometers away, as I'm currently not even sure if it's a bug or not. If someone tells me that his contact data is displayed correctly with "email" and "www" in front of it, then I know that my Nano has got a problem. If everybody here gets the data displayed as "work" as well, then I know that EVERY Nano 5G certainly does it like that, and then driving to an Apple Store won't be of any use.
So please... Could someone with a Nano 5G please take a look at his own contacts ? It would help me a lot, and it's only a matter of 5 seconds, much less than it takes to write that I should read the manual or ask Apple
Unfortunately I personally don't know a friend with a Nano 5G, that's why I thought I'd ask some other ipod users on this forum if they could have a short look.
Thanks and greetings,
Andreas

Any application to display contact details while r...

hi guys,
i was wondering that while making or receiving a call, is there any app which could display the label of the detail under which the number is saved ??
let me try to explain with the help of an example:
let's say i have a contact saved with the name of "XYZ". there are two numbers saved under that contact. one number 1234 is saved under "Mobile" and other 9876 under "Telephone". so now when i receive a call from XYZ and if it is calling from Mobile the app should display the label "Mobile" along with the number 1234. same with while making a call.
i thought of this feature because i have a lot of contacts with more than 2 number saved under them, and while receiving a call it gets really confusing to remember under which label is this number saved.
hope to find a solution.
thank you...

No, not AS the call comes in.
While on a call, you can press the ESCAPE key to go to the history with the that contact or phone call to make notes.

Ipad2 contact details are not displayed

Hi guys, since a few days I have got the following problem on my iPad 2, OS 5.01, sync with iCloud. The contacts are displayed in 2 pages layout, left the alphabetical list of contacts and (usually) on the right the details of the selected contact.
The alphabetical contact list is displayed but the details are not shown. The right side only shoes the options 1) new contact 2) add to contacts 3) send contact. A new contact 1) can be entered, the name is shown on the left, the details are not shown on the right. If I choose options 2) or 3) the contact folder is closed.
The contact details, however, must be available because the email app has access to the email addresses.
In order to solve the problem I tried the following
a) deleting all contacts and importing them again. Result: the problem remains
b) restoring the ipad from the last back up on my computer. Result: the problem remains
c) deleting all contacts, switching the ipad off and on again, entering a new contact. Result: the problem remains
I am also using the ipad 1 as well as the iphone with OS 5.01 both devices working as normal.
I do hope somebody can help, thanks.
Mike

could solve the problem by using iEA's suggestion:
I've been having this problem every since I updated to iOS 5. I called Apple and they told me to restore. That didn't work, I deleteted my icloud account, that didn't work, I switched contact off in icloud that didn't work.
I did a spotlight search for a contact, and it pulled up the contact info, then I touched the top left of the screen even though it was black, and went to the groups area. Then I clicked all, and they all magicly appeared with all fields in tact, wowowowo!! Hope this works for everyone

My call logs and SMS messages display the incorrect contact details on the BlackBerry q10

Hello there!
I met serious problem like in the subject. Is anybody know what is going on ?
Best regards,
Paweł

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Here is a KB that discusses that error:
KB34772 Call logs and SMS messages display the incorrect contact details on the BlackBerry 10 smartphone
Unfortunately, it contains nothing useful -- except for formal recognition by BlackBerry of the issue. We would then hope that a future OS release will correct it.
Good luck and let us know!

Contact details in wrong order - am I the only one?

I use an iPhone 3G and sync it with my Macs using MobileMe. All software is up to date.
One thing bugs me since I have an iPhone:
The contact details are in a different order than on my Macs. They are even different for different contacts.
Example:
Contact 1 on Mac: 1. Mobile number 2. home number 3. work number 4. pager
Contact 1 on iPhone: 1. home number 2. work number 4. pager 3. mobile number
Contact 2 on iPhone 1. work number 2 home number 3. mobile number
This is really anonying. I wonder if I am the only person with this problem? I use the german language on iPhone and on my Macs.
I know that in the Mac Adress book I can set the order of the various contact details and that works very well. But not on the iPhone.
I do not so much care about a particular order, I just want to have my contacts in order. It is very difficult to quickly dial somebodys number when you first have to look where the mobile number is hidden.

hi,
I tried something new and i found it interesting. in Address book under Edit menu you have "Edit Distribution List". you will see three columes;"Group, Name and the third one on which you can click and change it to the phone. then you can click on the desired number which turns to bold and that will be the default number for that name. you will encounter a conflict when a name has assigned to different groups so you should check that name for each group.
Let me know your feed back.
Happy New Year

IPhone 4 - iOS 5 upgrade - LOST ALL CONTACT DETAILS

I upgraded to iOS 5 and now I can't get to any of my contact details.
What I have -
The list of my contacts is displayed under the contacts option, but when I touch any contact name it takes me back to the home screen. Can't make any phone calls. But I can receive phone calls and the caller-id displays the correct name too. So my guess is the information is there somewhere, I just can't seem to find it or use it.
What I have tried so far -
1) Resynced contacts from the Info tab in iTunes. I get the following error msg - "iTunes couldnot sync contacts to the "iPhone" because contacts are being synced over-the-air
2) turned off sync over wi-fi from iTUnes. Tried syncing again. Same error message as above.
3) Tried going to "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" under settings, it takes me back to home screen. It displays the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" details screen for about half a second and takes me back to home screen.
4) Went to iCloud under settings and tried to turn off teh "Contacts" from there. It simplays doesn't turn off. I can turn off everything else listed under there, but contacts. No matter what I do, it stays on.
5) Signed into iCloud.com with my account. The contacts info there has only one contact listed (mine).
6) Tried to edit contact details from one of my recent text messages. Doesn't work. Takes me backto home screen.
Does anyone have any ideas about how to fix this. At this point I can't even use the main function a phone should be performing, i.e. make calls from my stored contacts.

I had the same problem. Time Machine proved invaluable here. I opened up Address Book, selected "All Contacts", started up TIme Machine via Spotlight, and scrolled back to the day before I ran the 4.2.1 updater. Bada bing, all contacts restored to the address book! Simply did an iPhone sync after that and all was well again.
Still, nasty bug Apple. :-|

Lync User Phone Number Changed in AD - Still Showing Old (Normalized) Number Days Later in Lync Client Contact Detail

Environment: Lync 2013 backend; Lync 2010 and Lync 2013 clients. Enterprise Voice not implemented. November 2013 CU Applied on Server.
Issue: Lync user (User A) phone number changed in AD but still showing old number for others days later.
Believed Cause: User A has not logged into Lync since change to republish new phone number?
So after reading this http://masteringlync.com/ I am beginning to think that something I perceived as an issue may actually be by design?
Action:
User A work phone number changed in AD. User A has only one phone entry in AD. Normalization rule in place to basically leave number unchanged (working)
Result:
New phone number propogated fine to Exchange/Outlook fine. Old number displaying only in Lync client when viewing User A contact card detail
Lync 2010 Client displays only old number when looking at Client A contact detail (this client only presents phone numbers if they are actually normalized)
Lync 2013 Client displays two work numbers.
One that we identify as a "display number" just as entered in AD - this shows correctly as the new number. Another that we identify as the "normalized number" which is still the old
number (same as 2010 Client)
Same results whether contact is saved in Lync Client or not and is not related to Outlook contacts - in fact one test was with a Lync account that is not Mail Enabled.
I did a dbanalyze to view the SQL database detail for User A and see that Category 'userInformation' has the old phone number and the time stamp on it seems to coincide with a Lync Cllient database change (user login or refresh on that end) so this seems
to futher confirm my findings thus my reaching the point of conceding it might be out of my control.
My Question I guess is ....
Have others discovered this? Is this a bug or do normalized phone numbers actually requre a client login to accept/republish the number correctly to others even though the information is updated in AD? User detail and how it propogates seems to
be the biggest mystery and it gets harder and harder to explain to users why changes aren't displaying accuralely.

Thanks Richard... your blog definitely hit home with what I was seeing but guess I just didn't want to accept that as the end of the road on this. I'm still in a little misbelief that client interaction is necessary to update a backend change.
This process really makes phone numbers in Lync an unreliable source given a user will never know if it is it up to date. And the problem with Lync 2013 client is it shows both numbers in the client ... the address book one with the
updated AD numbers and the one the normalized AD one that the user has to login to republish. I now more fully understand the process but trying to explain that to users when they see different work numbers .. ugh.
Oh well, guess the important part is to understand the process so thanks again.

Employee Broadband contact details.

I was employed by BT and receiving the free employee broadband package. I am no longer receiving this and I have been billed incorrectly. I have contacted the BT billing team but they have told me to contact the Employee Broadband team.
Having left the company I cannot find any Email addresses or phone numbers for the Employee Broadband team, please could somebody pass on some contact details.
Many thanks.

one fine day yesterday, my i phone just hangup lost all contact detail. The screen only show a picture depicting cable connection to iTune. I have tried to restore iphone to factory setting but not working . May i know how to proceed to recover lost contacts.

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

Selecting Contact details not working

When I'm in 'Contacts' when I click on some of the contacts the phone goes BLACK and then goes back to the main screen. I've checked in my phonebook on my Mac and the contact details for these people exist.
Is this a common problem? Will a full reset resolve the problem?

Just realized I posted in the wrong forum.
Will re-post this where there is a better fit.

IPad address book does not show contacts' details after iCloud setup

Hi everyone,
I setup iCloud today on my Mac and my iPad. It is working fine on my Mac - when creating new contacts they show up online and vice versa. However, a strange thing is happening on the iPad. iCloud syncs the contacts list fine - but when tapping on a contact (in the book layout on the left side) the app does not display any details of that contact on the right side. All it shows on the right side are three buttons: "Create new contact", "Add to contact" and "Send contact".
Does anyone have the same problem? Any tips/solutions?
Thanks!
F

I had the same problem on both my iPad & iPhone. I adding a contact on my iPad and now everything seems to sync properly. Hmmm, interesting..... THANKS FOR THE SUGGESTION.
