No alphabet list in contacts

My contacts comsists of just one big alphabetical list. I've seen other people's iPhones where the contact list is split by letter, and there is an alphabet down the right side for quick look-up. This is all absent in mine - any ideas? I've looked in the phone settings, but there doesn't seem to be a way to turn this function off. I didn't sync my contacts - I'm entering them manually. Please help! Thanks.

I believe your "big alphabetical list" is not big enough yet. It starts splitting by letter when you exceed certain number of contacts.

  • Lost single letter alphabet listing on right hand side in contacts

    I restored my iphone back to factory setting but lost the alphabet listing on the right hand side in contacts.  Can anyone help me get it back

    I think that alphabet only shows when you have several contacts.  How many do you have?

  • Many contacts are not visible to alphabetical browse on Contacts after update to OS 10.2 on the Z10

    After updating to 10.2 on Z10  many contacts do not appear on the Contacts list, but if I search for them, I get them one at a time. I can't browse for them, but they are still in a file somewhere. That file is no longer fully connected to the Contacts app, it seems. I'm going to call the two alternatives the "browsible" list when I refer to the Contact app working correctly and lsiting the contact alphabetically; and the "non-browsible" list, when I can only find them by a search.
    One other thing of interest. When I add a contact that is in the same name as one on the non-browsible, I will get a message asking me if I want to replace the [old] contact. If I say yes, the new contact listing joins the hidden list and replaces what was there. If I say no, I get the contact added to the browsible Contact app. Thereafter, if I search on that name I get two hits: one is the old, non-browsible entry and the other is the new one that is browsible.
    I did the 10.2 update when I was running the older BB link on a WinXP computer and it did not work to create a back-up, so I can't try restore. I now run Win7 64-bit and the new link seems to work okay,  but that was installed after I upgraded to 10.2..
    Any suggestions as to where I go to find the hidden contact entries on the non-browsible list? And how I get them to appear on the alphabetical, browsible, list when Contacts is opened?
    Thanks for all answers.

    That's another odd thing. I did make a big effort to back-up the Z10 before the update to OS 10.2.1.  But, it appears to me that by downloading the new OS to my computer [T-Mobile never does push the BB updates, not as long as I've owned it, which was a few days before the US distro, when I got hold of one for the South American market in Miami Breach] it seems to have removed my installed BB Link from my laptop. And my back-up files are empty.  
    Last time something like this happened. there was a workaround. Do this, do that, and suddently the contacts that are lurking somewhere on the phone, appear. I was hoping for this again.
    If this is a known issue, why is it not featured on the BB page where the installer was located? I would never have downloaded OS 10.2.1, if I was warned I might lose my contacts and texts. 
    A sorry mess.

  • I keep track of family totals for fundraising at a school, I want a family name and totals for each fundraiser and then at the end of the year I would like an alphabetized list.  Can I do this in numbers?

    in numbers, how would I make a line for each family (100+)  a column for each fundraiser. and at mid year, and year end be able to print an alphabetical listing?
    example:     entertainment books          Chip Shoppe       Yankee Candle
    Smith          $350                                   $245                    $100
    Total at the end of the line, but I could live without.  I am just trying to lose the paperwork, and have it in the ipad for when parents approach me at meetings.
    Help!

    HI m,
    Using Numbers '09 (the Mac version), I'd use a table with one header row and two header columns.
    Family     Total     Ent.Books     Chip S.     Y. Candle
    Smith, J      $695        350            245             100
    Jones, T      $765        250            445               70
    An ascending sort on column A will put the families in alphabetical order (and carry the rest of the row along with them).
    The formula =SUM(2) in B2, and filled down from there, keeps the total for each family right beside the family name.
    You could add a Footer row at the bottom to keep totals for each column. Formula for column B: =SUM(B)
    I would leave the currency signs ($) off the amounts—they just clutter up the table.
    This assumes that the features listed are all supported on Numbers for iOS, the version running on your iPad.
    Regards,
    Barry

    In my list of contacts I have entered a wrong address.  I was able to erase it from that list BUT  when I send an email it still appears on the list there and I cannt erase it.  What shall I do ?

    I have discovered this site which claims the ability to do what you might want. I have no personal experience of it!

    Copy the words to the Mac's clipboard (Edit menu> Copy)
    Paste into TextEdit 
    Next open the Edit > Find > Find window in Text Edit.
    Highlight a space between two words and Edit menu > copy, paste into the Find field
    Next create a return in the middle of your text and copy that and paste into the Replace field
    Click Replace All.
    Now Edit > Select All and Edit > Copy
    Open a Spreadsheet program with Sort ability and paste into the second column cell from the top
    place a "a" into the top column cell, select the entire colum
    Sort desending order
    Now if you need it out of spreadsheet format, then your going to need to copy just the data cells (not the entire column to avoid problems) and Paste "Special" as unformatted text into a word processing program
    If you need to get rid of the Returns, do the opposite you did in Text Edit, replace the Returns with Spaces
    A chore, but it's rare one needs to sort words into alaphabetical order.
    FYI, I used TextEdit and the free LibreOffice (Spreadsheet and Word Processing) for the above effects.

    I don't know where the contacts came from on that are now on my new phone. There are way too many and it is not my list of contacts I have on gmail. Where else is this from? I spent a LONG time on gmail going through my list of contacts. There were about 400 and I got it down to about 90. When I went to sync my new phone, ALL 400 synced.
    Thank you for any help!

    Sorry for the repeat...new here. OBVIOUSLY.

  • Passing result list from Contact search to Target group

    Hi,
    I have to pass the result list of Contact serch(BP_CONT_SEARCH) to Target group creation component(SEGED_TG). Can you give me the steps that I need to follow.
    Note: Here the contact structure is different in each component.
    Thanks.

    Yes Srikanth, you need to bind context of result list to SEGED_TG using component controller binding. Let me know if you have questions.
    But the question is did you make a navigation from the contact search result to target group creation or is it a standard functionality ?
    As per my knowledge we can navigate from Profile set creation creation screen or from Trade Promotions.

  • HT4993 Updated iPhone and now only numbers listed not contacts

    Updated iPhone to 6.1.3.   Now only numbers listed instead of contact names like before

    Try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, see if that helps.
    Check to see that the number you have listed in Contacts is the full number that is sent from Caller ID. The two have to match before the name is displayed.
