Phone numbers in contact list disappeared after last SW-Update

Hi,
everything worked fine until this week. My contacts were synchronized with outlook exchange. I got all contact phone & email details.
Now, I see only email addresses of my contacts. Forcing manual synchronization don't help. It seems that the synchronization works fine but there are still no phone numbers available. A mobile phone without stored phone number is a nightmare!
Can somebody help me?

Problem with Facebook status blocking phone numbers in contact list

Unlike a lot of users, I don't mind that my Facebook contacts merge with my other contacts. However, I am having a problem with viewing all the information in some of the individual profiles. It seems that whenever someone updates their FB status, the status posts where the phone number usually is. The only way to view the phone info for these contacts is to "edit" the entry, then you can see the phone info. Does anyone know if there is any way to eliminate the status update from the contact information?

I don't mind seeing their updates, I don't even mind seeing the update on the individual contacts page. I mind not being able to see the phone number field in my contacts list. I have a friend that has the original Droid and he stated that the update is at the bottom of the screen, not the top covering the phone number. Why is it that on a phone with so much "ability" that it has to put the Facebook status field over the phone number?

How to addlong distance phone numbers to contact list

do you have to add 1 in the number or does it add it when you call

It automatically adds it... you don't need to add a "1"

HT4972 I have lost most (but not all) of the phone numbers from Contacts.

This is my work iphone, connected to my work MS Exchange account. First I upgraded to iOS5, but that caused the 3G connection to stop working (my phone contacts were still there at that point). The IT guy at work eventually fixed the 3G connection - it was something to do with the profile being blocked, I don't know exactly, and I don't know what he did to get it working. However, whatever he did, it caused most of the phone numbers in Contacts to disappear. Unfortunately they're not in my Contacts in Outlook either, so I can't restore them from there.
I guess the most likely option is to restore them from the backup that occurred during the iOS5 upgrade - can someone suggest how I can do that? Or any other ideas?
Thanks for your help.

Contacts are not completely backed up as part of the iPhone backup. Only contacts necessary to back up your recent call and favorites lists are backed up, which often won't include all your contacts. (In fact, if the IT person backed up and then restored your phone from backup that may be how he lost many of your contacts.) Also, restoring from backup will revert all settings and data on your phone to those contained in the backup. If you want to try to restore from your backup anyway follow this procedure:
Before connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer, go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent…from syncing automatically"
Now connect your phone to your computer and import your photos to avoid losing any recent photos (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083)
Open iTunes and when your phone appears on the left sidebar, right-click on its name and choose Transfer Purchases (to transfer any recent purchased into your iTunes library)
Right-click on the name of her phone again and choose Restore from Backup, choosing the backup you wish to restore from
When this completes you can go back and re-enable automatic syncing if you prefers this

How can I get the phone numbers in contacts to appear with dashes between the first 3 numbers, the next 3 numbers, and the last 4 numbers? Until very recently
it did so. Contacts on my macbook pro does show up this way. I do have a mobile me account and in the past syncing was no problem. What setting has changed?

The phone number format as well as the date language and format and the time format are controlled by the Region Format setting. Go to Settings > General >International > Region Format. When you change a region format, you can go back one page (to International) and see an example of the date/time/phone number format that your selected region format will produce.

Contacts list cleared after recharging

All my contact info disappeared after recharging the iPhone. Everything is gone and now I have 0 contacts. I have no idea what happened. Does anyone know? Has anyone else experienced this?

It has happened to me several times this week -- but it has nothing to do with recharging. I'll be using the iPhone normally, including a phone call, then go into Contacts and they're all gone. Once, I got a "No SIM card" message and so I removed the SIM card and reinserted it; the Contacts came back. But I got the SIM card replaced a few days ago yet I lost the Contacts again last night (with no SIM card error message) but they came back a minute later. I spoke to Apple support who suggested that it had something to do with losing the cell signal (because I sync my Contacts via MobileMe) but last night when I lost the Contacts I did not lose the signal. So I don't know what's really causing it.

ICloud you have the ability to NOT format phone numbers of contacts; this ability is not available on the contacts of iPhone. If I set-up a phone number in iCloud with NO parenthesis, ex. 123- 456-7899, then this format should be available on the iPhone

That is correct is doesn't. Standardized formatting of phone numbers in the iOS app is more important because it supports contact from a variety of locations (gmail, hotmail, etc.). iCloud doesn't (not directly).

Hey joshuafromisr,
If you resintall iTunes, it should fix the issue. The following document will go over how to remove iTunes fully and then reinstall. Depending on what version of Windows you're running you'll either follow the directions here:

Max phone numbers per contact in the phonebook for...

Hi,
I have Nokia 5300 which is running s40. I also have a Nokia N70 which is running s60.
Nokia N70 can store more than 5 phone numbers per contact where as 5300 can only store 5 which i found out when i tried sending a business vCard. I was wondering whether this is a problem because of the s40 version on 5300 and whether there is a software update for this. If not, i would just like to know what is the reason (out of curiosity - is it the 5300 hardware and runs s40 or something else ...).
Thanks & Regards,
PS: I found out that Phonebook is part of the OS/firmware for the phone.

The S40 Nokia operating system - what the 5300 is based on - is in many ways simpler & more limited than S60/Symbian. (In some ways it is also more efficient and at least simpler/smaller.)

Deleted one field in phone section of contact list can it be restored

By mistake i deleted one field in the phone section under contact list can it be restored. I do not see add another field for phone number.

Try reproducing the issue in Windows safe mode with Networking.... I think the guess of a synchronization issue was correct. I just think the blame finger went to the wrong place. Windows safe mode should confirm my guess... Or prove me wrong
Note that i can move messages in imap to live from junk to inbox and they are not corrupt.

Nokia 3125: contact list disappears suddenly

in my nokia 3125 contact list disappeared suddenly and now it saves just one contact. pls help

This is a fix/workaround for that issue.
If you dont have a gmail account. make one.
setup itunes to sync contacts to Google.
run a sync with your iPad on itunes like you normally would. This should fix that problem since the contact entries will be reset and replaced again.

How do i display phone numbers from Contacts in large type?

The phone numbers displayed in Contacts are difficult to read for old eyes. How do I display them in a large font size so I can read them without glasses? Is there a setting or an alternate app that can do that?

The only thing that I know of is Settings -> General ->Accessability -> Zoom
With that on, when you tap the screen twice using 3 fingers, the whole screen zooms. I've tried the "Large Text" feature, but it does nothing to the phone numbers in contacts, just the text portions.

hi - i think you should not use 'xhost +' - it's not secure and you shouldn't need it....
in your .bashrc or .cshrc or whatever, you should have setenv DISPLAY .0 or the equivalent export...
then ssh -Y hostname should be all you need... no xhost, and not setting DISPLAY every time...
could you enter the following command from a terminal window and post back the results?
grep X11 /etc/ssh*_config
cheers

Cannot access internet through itunes after last itunes update. Cannot get to itunes store or itunes help. Everything else works fine.

After last itunes update I cannot get to the internet through itunes. Cannot get to itunes store, itunes help, etc. Also, now when I sync everything syncs properly but I get message at end that tells me that my phone cannot be backed up on the laptop.

Something may be corrupt in your iTunes installation. The backup problem may or may not be related. The first step is reboot your system, disable your antivirus and firewall and try again. The next thing to try is completely removing iTunes and reinstalling: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925.
Also, if you used TinyUmbrella or Recboot as unauthorized apps to help with the update they corrupted your network settings on your computer. You will have to edit your hosts file and remove all references to Apple servers.
