New contacts will not stay saved

I add a new contact to my phone. It stays saved for a few minutes. When i go back through the messages/ call list where I saved the number (to a name), it only shows the number and the contact is no longer saved in my contact list.

do u have icloud contacts turned on? do u have a computer that you sync your phone too? this happened to me a while ago when icloud was first introduced and i thought was fixed. i had contacts synced on my phone from my mac and then had a contact profile already saved in icloud prior. when i turned icloud on it had a conflict witht he new contact profile that was on my phone and the previous that was saved on the cloud. i had to delete the cloud contact by logging on to the icloud site and removing that contact list and then turning the cloud back on so it matched what was on my phone. i thought that problem was fixed so i am not sure if it will help you but thought i could maybe help

New contacts will not update via cloud on mac

I first sync'ed my contacts from iphone 3GS ios6 onto new mac pro book via the cloud. It worked fine. But if I amend or change the contacts on my phone those changes simply do not seem to appear on the mac contacts list. I have deleted the list off the mac several times and started again but each time once I set the icloud sync option on the mac or iphone, the same old contact list appears and not the new amended list on my iphone. The cloud is working fine for calendar updates but not for contacts.

When I try to update from within an app (Illustrator) the Applicaitons Manager appears differently, and is appearing to work. But, I only have one version of the manager installed--at least searching for another only finds one copy... Confused!

My new nano will not stay connected to my computer.

I recieved a 6 gen nano from the 1 gen replacement program. I completely removed all apple software from my system, and downloaded the newest versions to replace them before plugging in the new nano. When I plugged in the new nano, the computer recognized it for a few seconds, saw it was an ipod and started the registration process, but then started disconnecting and connecting the nano every few seconds. Now itunes does not recognize the nano at all. I ruled out the usb ports and the cable as the problem, so it has to be the nano with the issues. Please help, at least my old 1 gen still worked! Does anyone have any suggestions for fixing this?

I have the EXACT same problem. I believe also it is the NANO.

My home page will not stay saved,it keeps going back to the firefox default page

After I've saved my home page(yahoo.com)there will be no problem until my laptop either is turned off or restarted. After I turn on my laptop when I connect to the internet, my home page is changed from yahoo.com to the firefox default almost like if I just updated firefox.And I'm getting tired of having to change my home page back every time I turn my laptop on.

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Some security software has virtualization or sandbox features that may cause problems by protecting and restoring files in the Firefox profile folder.

IOS6 Upgrade - Contacts will not save

Ever since upgrading to iOS6 on my iPhone 4S, new contacts will not save to the list; however, when I type in the number their name will appear on the outgoing call. This is very frustrating. Any idea how to get the contact to actually appear in the list?

I have this problem in 10.8.2 on a mbp 2010. Don't know how long I've had the problem but noticed it when I needed to rely on some important information that I had previously added in the Note section of a contact. When I closed the app and relaunched it, the information was no longer there. It doesn't happen all the time so its frustrating and I don't know if I can rely on this app. I don't sync contacts across multiple devices or on the cloud. I just keep things simple and use it locally on my mbp.
Here's a couple of instances that confirms the problem along with a WORKAROUND:
Apple care support - advisor was able to replicate the problem and said he would report it. Kudos to the advisor for this workaround: after you edit a note of a contact, click on another contact, then click in the note area of that contact before you close the application. This seems to work most of the time.
Best Buy - salesperson was able to replicate the problem on a 15" mbp retina osx 10.8.2. The desktops, mbp's and mba's with osx 10.7.x did not seem to have the problem. (Interestingly, when the salesperson repeated this a few times, the Contacts icon disappeared from the dock and he had to go search for it and drag it back to the dock.)

I just bought a new laptop and my ipod nano will not stay connected to my computer. When I first connect the ipod it starts to sync on my ipod but not on itunes. The ipod is initially connected to my computer, I can see it when I look on devices in my computer. However, when it finishes syncing it is no longer detected to my computer. I cannot transfer any of my songs to my new laptop because of this. I have tried to reinstall itunes, reset my ipod and use a different port. None of these things worked. Any ideas?

TS3988 I am not able to open the settings icon from my old iPAD. When I try to select the settings icon it looks like it's about to launch and open however; it will not stay open. I am trying to transfer all my data from my old iPAD to my new 4th gen iPAD

Try a soft reset - press the home and power bottons and keep them pressed until the Apple logo comes on. Then see if you can access Settings.

WRT54G v.5 will not stay connected to new laptop/Windows 7 Premium

WRT54G v.5 will not stay connected to new laptop/Windows 7 Premium. It continuously runs through a cycle of detecting, connecting, losing connection; detecting, connecting, losing connection, etc. A the router runs through this cycle, basically acting as if I have disconnected then reconnected to power to reset it, it disrupts my Internet connection to both my wired iMac and other, wireless desktop upstairs. Paid for Linksys support today and through remote access he set up a new network on my desktop (iMac). After he finished, the problem still existed. When I told him the problem hadn't been fixed, he told me just wait for an hour or so and it should work itself out. It, of course, did not work itself out. Any ideas out there?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Never mind-I seem to have fixed the problem with a simple firmware upgrade. Funny how the Linksys support technician didn't think to ask what version of the router I have or suggest that I should try upgrading the firmware first. He was, however, quite good at trying to upsell me to a new router instead of trying to help me fix the problem I was having. Makes me want to go buy Netgear next time, thank you very much!

Droid Maxx, NEW...Contacts will not back up!!

Droid Maxx, NEW...Contacts will not back up to cloud app. nor will it back up to backup assistance. I have tried for two days. Says synced but says there is no contact on device. I have like 400 contacts. WTH??

Bigdr78,
Lets make sure your contacts are safe and sound. Ann154 is correct - they will not back up to both, but the work-around you're thinking of should do the trick!

My brand new PB will not charge when in standby or when on

I played with a number of PB's so far and finally have my own but... My brand new PB will not charge when in standby or when on; as soon as I plug the charger into the USB port it detects it and brings the screen up (if in standby) showing the lighting bolt on the battery but it does not charge; the lighting bolt stays but the % charge does not change (or hopefully increase) at all; it will actually decrease (??); the only way I can charge it is when I attach the charger and the PB is powered off… the PB brings the red (or green can't remember) LED on and starts to flash it on off and charges; tried the hard reset with no change; I am running the latest OS release 1.0.8.6067. Has anyone seen this? Is it h/w or f/w? Any Fix?

Here's a final update on this... the units goes back to its maker or the store sometimes tomorrow... Why? First I tried to understand if this was s/w or h/w related or maybe both before calling support which in the end I did; so I did try a different charger, hard resetting the unit, discharging and recharging etc; nothing helped or fixed the charging in standby; the unit continued to charge only after being turned off and then plugged into the charger. Here's what I learned:
1. Going through the initial setup and OS update it is quite possible for the unit to NOT load the OS image correctly i.e. it appears that it loaded the OS and displays the OS version as if it loaded properly when in fact it did not and the image loaded is corrupt. I found this out during a live session with support when they were looking at my PC screen while the PB was connected to the PC only to point out that the Desktop Manager was showing a s/w update being available (1.0.8 bundle 6067) while the unit was reporting 1.0.0 bundle 0. Strange, I thought I already had 1.0.8.6067... after accepting the update, which takes a bit to load, I started more testing, charging, discharging, hard reset (i.e. Volume Up + Power) etc with no positive results to report. This also proved that the USB port is working, both data (PC to PB communication alright) and power (PB displays the plug over the battery bar when the power contact work)
2. The charger I have works and it is the correct one: P/N PSM09A-050RIM; make sure it is not one of the incorrectly rated chargers some received.
3. In order to reduce the amount of current the unit consumes when on, you have to run the Video Chat app at least once and acknowledge the (c) page; otherwise this remains as a background app that take more CPU cycles on the battery. After doing this I did notice a slight improvement in the sense that PB did charge some instead of discharging. The problem is that it only charged to about 60% and did not move higher no matter how long I waited (yes I did reset just to make sure it is not the s/w acting up and deciding to not update the power bar)
4. The way the RIM RMA works is like this: they start the process for you to return the unit back for repair which I understand may take 10 days; you may get a unit to use for this time if so desired, it will be charged to your CC; your unit may get repaired if possible; if not possible to repair, your new unit will be replaced with a refurbished unit; once you get some unit back you need to send the “10 day replacement unit” to RIM to get your CC charge cleared. I find that this program is good for when you can not return the unit to the place you purchased it from. Otherwise it is not good as I do not like getting a refurb for something I consider brand new (not to mention that you may get a unit with a few bright or dark pixels)
5. Throughout this process I looked at three (3) Playbooks: 2 had bright pixels and were returned immediately; this last one does not charge correctly. No win for me!
6. The battery lasts approx 4 hours with the unit playing a video clip in a loop and WiFi on with a WEB pulled stop watch running as well (had to allow multi tasking in setup/general).
Finally, my theory about this problem is that it is h/w related and that it is caused by the noise the board or the display is making when the unit is either on or in standby; a component not soldered properly (cold joint) or out of spec may be the culprit; for example a resistor in resistor divider monitoring the battery voltage or a decoupling capacitor missing or not soldered...

Ipod touch will not stay connected to network after trying to use scrabble

I had a new ipod touch and purchased the scrabble app from EA games. I could not log into facebook to load my games onto the app on my touch. The ipod would send me to my home page and disconnect me from the internet. Eventually my ipod would not connect to the network at all. I called Apple and they determined that the ipod was faulty and sent me a new one. Upon receiving the new ipod I downloaded and tried to use Scrabble again not thinking that the problem was the Scrabble app from the get go. Now again my ipod will not stay connected to the network. I have deleted the Scrabble app and reset my network settings and still nothing. It will occasionally connect but I cannot do anything with the ipod. However, it will work when plugged into my computer. I have contacted EA Games with the problem and they have "escalated my issue to their expert team", but I have yet to hear anything back from them. Anyone else having similar issues and know how to resolve this?

Battery will not stay in place

My iBook battery keeps falling out, and it will not stay in place unless taped. I'm not within my 90-day warranty period, but I am within my one-year warranty period. Any advice on how I can contact a hardware specialist without paying a fee? Should I just buy a new battery?

I suppose they may help. But when my G5 started choking on memory because of a firmware update, I called. I was within the 1 yr. warranty. The Apple tech told me he couldn't help and I should take it in to an Apple authorized repair shop. That's what they're supposed to do. In the end, bring it in.
