Question in regards to multiple addresses and phone numbers in one contact...

Hello iPhone users!
I have a quick question in regards to contacts. If I have a name of a restaurant that has two separate phone numbers and two separate locations, do I need to create a separate contact for each location and each phone number? For exmaple, let's say the Restaurant name is Luigi's and there is one location in Boston and one in New York. I wish to enter both of the addresses and both of phone numbers.
Ideally, how would I combine both of these? I think to further qualify is if I'm able to combine both entries into one contact, how can I differentiate the phone numbers? I realize there are labels that I can customize (i.e. name one label Boston and the other New York) but it seems if I do that, then those custom labels appear to carry over for any other new contact I create which is not ideal.
Am I on the right track or am I over thinking this? Does anyone have any suggestions?
Many thanks!

Thanks for your reply! I'm just trying to figure out the best way. Basically I was hoping to create one contact entity with the restaurant name and withing that contact the following:
1. Addresses for both locations
2. Phone numbers for both locations
3. A label to distinguish which number belongs to what location
So at the moment, I have one contact and the label for one phone number is "main" which is not ideal because it doesn't distinguish what location the number is calling. Let's say I create a custom label called "Boston". It works fine and I can assign that label to that number. The drawback is that now the custom label "Boston" now appears globally in my custom label list. I guess this is fine with one or two labels but then I can see how this might get out of control with more labels being added. I was hoping a custom label would apply only to that one contact and not be globally available to all other new contacts.
If I do create a custom label and delete it from my list, it then goes away for the contact that I assigned the label to.
So given that information, I guess if I don't want the custom label list to get out of control, it's probably best to create a separate contact for each location... i.e.
1. Luigi's - Boston
2. Luigi's - New York
I was just hoping to have everything consolidated into one contact as opposed to creating multiple ones. It seems like that can't be accomplished unless I have a huge list of custom labels in which I probably won't use them to apply to other contacts : )

HT4528 my iphone synced with my computer and left my contact info but erased the address and phone numbers but left notes and email addresses on the phone and computer

Is there any way to restore the addresses and phone numbers to the contacts on the iphone and computer that were erased after it synced?

Then chances are you won't be able to get them back. You can try restoring from your last iPhone backup to see if they're still there. To do this, prior to connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences; on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically". Then connect your phone to your computer and when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on its name and choose Restore from Backup. Of course, if your backup has already been overwritten with a new backup that doesn't contain the missing contact information then this will not restore it to your phone.) When done you can go back to iTunes Preferences and re-enable automatic syncing if you prefer this.

International Addresses and Phone Numbers

How do people typically deal with International Addresses and Phone Numbers? Do you use special attributes for these?

I know how to create attributes, the issue is how to create the right set of attributes that can be used for all given international telephone and addresses?
I would think there would be some sort of predefined standard for doing this but if you have to create your own custom attributes just to do this, then that's not really a great thing.
Oracle or the ldap standards people whomever they are should include all the object classes and attributes for International Telephone numbers and addresses so all you need to do is add the objectclass to your users and use them!
Sorry it just doesn't make sense to have everyone create these...

Names, addresses and phone numbers have dissappeared from my list, favorites and tx mess

Suddenly I went to favorites and realize most of my phones have no names only phone numbers. I went to all contacts and they are not there. I lost names addresses and all info. I need to know if is still there? in the memory? or I need to do it all over again.

Try importing your contact list from Verizon Backup Assist.
If you do not have that, then upload them from your saved contacts in your computer.
If you do not have that, then try to restore your backed up phone data from a previous backup on itunes.
If you still have none of those, then yeah. You're SOL and will have to manually insert everything. I recommend afterwards getting the backup assist app and backing everything up so you don't have to do that ever again.
Hope this helps!

"buy android software" make no sense, but if you wish to buy an Android based phone, that is certainly your prerogative. But no one here cares.

I set up a list of names, addresses, and phone numbers and when I went to print the printer only printed each
column on a different sheet of paper. I would like to have it printed exactly the way I typed it. How can I do
this?

I think if you use structure array syntax you should get the results you want.
<cfloop from="1" to="#Session.NumberOfSurveyFields#" index="arrayindex">
<cfset session[Session.SurveyField[arrayindex]] = Form[Session.SurveyField[arrayindex]]>
</cfloop>
Or probably even easier.
<cfset session = duplicate(form)>

Advice on indexing names and phone numbers

Hi!
I currently have a database with 2,6 million records containing names, addresses and phone numbers. I would like to do fast search like: Give me all persons called "Hansen" living on "Elm street". More complex queries like "%sen" living on "%street%" with a phone number like "3888____".
I'm running on a huge Windows 2000 server with Oracle 8.1.7
I currently have indexed the fields with interMedia and substring indexing. Below is my setup.
BEGIN
ctx_ddl.create_preference('tdk_store', 'BASIC_STORAGE');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('tdk_store','I_TABLE_CLAUSE',
'TABLESPACE tdk_imt STORAGE (INITIAL 4M NEXT 512K PCTINCREASE 0)');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('tdk_store','K_TABLE_CLAUSE',
'TABLESPACE tdk_imt STORAGE (INITIAL 4M NEXT 512K PCTINCREASE 0)');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('tdk_store','R_TABLE_CLAUSE',
'TABLESPACE tdk_imt STORAGE (INITIAL 4M NEXT 512K PCTINCREASE 0)');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('tdk_store','N_TABLE_CLAUSE',
'TABLESPACE tdk_imt STORAGE (INITIAL 4M NEXT 512K PCTINCREASE 0)');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('tdk_store','I_INDEX_CLAUSE',
'TABLESPACE tdk_imt STORAGE (INITIAL 4M NEXT 512K PCTINCREASE 0)');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('tdk_store','P_TABLE_CLAUSE',
'TABLESPACE tdk_imt STORAGE (INITIAL 4M NEXT 512K PCTINCREASE 0)');
ctx_ddl.Create_Preference ( 'tdk_wordlist', 'basic_wordlist' );
ctx_ddl.Set_Attribute ( 'tdk_wordlist', 'substring_index', 'true');
end;
CREATE INDEX tdknavn ON tdk ( navn )
INDEXTYPE IS ctxsys.context
parameters ('WORDLIST tdk_wordlist STORAGE tdk_store');
CREATE INDEX tdkadresse ON tdk ( adresse )
INDEXTYPE IS ctxsys.context
parameters ('WORDLIST tdk_wordlist STORAGE tdk_store');
CREATE INDEX tdktelefon ON tdk ( telefon )
INDEXTYPE IS ctxsys.context
parameters ('WORDLIST tdk_wordlist STORAGE tdk_store');
Query like this gives horrible execution times:
SELECT count(*)
FROM tdk
WHERE contains(navn, 'bedsted') > 0
AND contains(adresse, 'gade') > 0
A query like this caused a dump:
SELECT count(*)
FROM tdk
WHERE contains(adresse, '%gade%') > 0
Is this a stupid approach??

Yes it caused a core dump! End-of-file on communication channel.
I just learned about the catsearch function. I read in this forum that is doesn't support wildcards until 9i. So I have to use contains for now.
But... is catsearch faster than contains when you combine to catsearch' in one where clause?
Another question: Is catsearch only faster than contains when you combine it with structured data??

I have model series KX TG7641 /w 5 phones....
My questions:
1. Can the directory of phone numbers with in my iPhone be transferred to the Panasonic and retain the individual number designations; i.e., "home-moblie-work-etc"?
2. Can I use the manual select on the Panasonic to selectively transfer numbers from my iPhone?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?
FYI, there are no viruses that affect iOS unless the device has been hacked or jailbroken, in which case they cannot be discussed here.

I deleted my old email address and added a new one, after my iPhone died iCloud keeps popping up asking for the password of my old email address. I can't remember my password and the account is still gone, it pops up every few seconds. How can I fix this?

If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

Viewing addresses (with phone numbers) in Mail

Is it possible to view addresses with phone numbers by selecting the address button/icon in the toolbar in Mail? All I see are the email addresses and it would be convenient to see the phone numbers as well...
Any advice...thanks.

Not a way I know to do this now. As for what is coming in the future, there is no way to know unless Apple announces.

I have four devices on one Apple ID, i have separate emails and phone numbers for each device but when I tried to add one to my iPod, it said that the email was already in use.

I have four devices on one Apple ID, i have seperate emails and phone numbers for each device but when I tried to add one to my iPod, it said that the email was already in use. I have tried many things and the only guess I have is that either someone else has this email as their iMessage but is fake or it wasn't taken off my old iPod when I reset it. Any ideas on what to do?

Thanks but that doesn't give me the information I need. I am putting an email on my ipod for people to contact me for iMessage and FaceTime but when I put the email in, it gives me an error saying that the email cannot be veirified because it is already in use. My Apple ID can be varified, just not the email that they will contact me with.

That isn't possible, you cannot delete an iCloud account, you can only stop using it.
