Searching the IPhone contacts list

Is there any way to search the contacts list and make calls like the search window in the address book on the IMac?

No search, just taping on the letter or scrolling

  • Does the iPhone contact list update your online contacts when syncing?

    I know that you can update your iPhone contacts thru your Yahoo contact list, but does this occur vice-versa when new contacts have been added to your iPhone and you sync with Yahoo?

    In an indirect way, yes.
    It syncs with Address Book and updates the contacts
    there.
    Your computer will then sync with .Mac and update
    contacts online.
    Hopefully Apple will implement direct .Mac sync'ing
    in future versions, but who knows if they will.
    obviously syncing your iPhone to your mac, will update address book, which in turn will update your online contact list on .mac
    this was not the question, the question was, will changing the contacts from a yahoo contact list update your online contact list through yahoo when sync'd.
    best way to find out, try it, see if it does.

    Are you sharing the iCloud account with someone else?

  • N my house we have 2 iphone 4, and everytime we get the same contact list freom each other, how can we unsync the contacts so each user keeps thir own contact list?

    Hi user 1724, before icloud, we had the same issue.... 
    so yes,  the solution was to  each log  into the mac separately.
    i kept the main itunes library and apple id, and my son made his own itunes library (which linked to the main itunes/apple id)   - so we were able to maintain separate contacts lists.
    but then w/ the cloud i guess we assumed the cloud would know we each have different contact lists on diff. phones, but it seems the cloud just lumped it all together -

  • My iphones contact list in whats app is showing same contacts twice how to solve this problem

    my iphones contact list in whats app is showing same contacts twice how to solve this problem

    APPLE says:If the previous owner is not present
    Make sure the device is powered on and connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network. Then contact the previous owner and ask them to follow these steps:
    Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
    Select the device from their Find My iPhone device list by clicking All Devices at the top of the screen.
    Erase the device by clicking the Erase button. This will erase all content and settings from the device. When prompted, do not enter a phone number or message. Click Next until the device is erased.
    When the erase is complete, click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from the account.
    After the device has been erased and removed from the account, you can proceed with the device setup process.
    i forgot to erase the phone.i just removed it without erasing.

  • Help. My iPhone contact list is a mess.

    I use the iPhone's "mail" App to connect to my Outlook, Yahoo mail, Gmail and also sync with my MacBook.  Now the address books from all 4 sources are on my iPhone and they are all separate entries. I kind of expected the iPhone "Contacts" would have merged those entries during the import process or at least prompt me to merge them.  No, it just silently created a mess for me.
    I have heard about some 3rd party apps that will merge contact list entries.  I have also heard that some apps are secretly stealing user info without telling their users. So I am shy away from downloading apps to perform tasks that Apple should have done.
    Can someone tell me a way to clean up the mess by using Apple's tools alone?
    Perhaps I can sync all the entries into my MacBook's Address Book first and do the clean up on the MacBook.
    Then from one consolidated source, I can update my Outlook, Yahoo Mail, Gmail and iPhone afterwards.
    But does Address Book support a merge function?
    Please give me step by step instructions if you know how to do these. (both merging and they redistributing the list)
    Thanks.

        Yikes! Let's work on getting you down to one copy of each contact, nanalovespopa. How do you back up your contacts? Do you use Backup Assistant Plus, Blackberry Link, an alternate method, or a combination of a few?

  • My iPhone contact list was appropriated and spam emails were sent to them all.  How do I stop this  from happening again?

    How can I stop my iphone contact list from being appropriated again?

    It was not, the more likely issue is that someone got access to your email contact list.
    Change your passwords for all your email accounts.

  • My Iphone contact list was used to send Spam

    My yahoo e-mail was recently used to send Spam to everyone in my Iphone conact list that has an e-mail address associated with it. I do not use my yahoo account on a PC just on my Iphone. My phone contact list is not synced to a PC and I don't send emails from my personal email to co-workers and they recieved the Spam from my Yahoo account. Has the Iphone finally been hacked? How can I prevent it.I will change my Passwords but how did it send from my Iphone contact list. The e-mail that was sent is not in my sent or deleted folder. was sent on Friday at 11:15 at night while I was asleep and phone was charging.

    It was your Yahoo email account that was hacked, which is why the spam was sent from your account, or  more lilely spoofed to appear to be from your account (actually sent from the spammer's email).  This is common with Yahoo email which has been easily hacked.  If you ever sent any emails to the people who received the spam, their email address's are easily found by the hackers.
    As far as your Contact list on your iPhone, the only way it can be hacked into is if the phone was ever jailbroken.  OTOH, if you sync your contacts with social media like Fakebook and Twits,  your contacts are long in the wild.

  • My iphone contact list got deleted without me doing anything

    my iphone contact list got deleted without me doing anything

    Sounds like you activated one of the features of accessibility. Go to Settings, General, Accessibility, turn off Invert colors. Also check under Triple click to see if that is what is selected and you can turn that off as well.

  • My iPhone contact lists

    I was having some problems viewing all my contacts. Part of the problem was that when I clicked on the Contacts icon, I could not find the "All Contacts" option. I updated to the latest OS. Of course, my iPhone crashed and I had to restore to factory defaults. But luckily, I was able to recover all my previous information. Now I can use the "All Contacts" list.
    However, I also realized that my personal contacts list is actually split into two:
    All On My iPhone
    Contacts (my Outlook contact list associated with my work email)
    Is there a way to somehow merge both list into a single list? If this is possible, I'm not sure which list is best to maintain and the pros/cons of each option.
    I just don't want to have to manually duplicate each contact again to then store it on to the other list.
    Not sure how I end up getting two contact list.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thx in advance!
    --Tan

    Well... I checked her itunes settings and no, she does not sync with itunes contacts...
    I'm still puzzled as to where  do the duplicate contact list comes from
    I've always thought that selecting the "contacts" button on the phone app is the same thing as the "Contacts" app (when selected from the main menu) but not on this phone.
    Please help

  • Transfering exchange contacts to my iphone contact list?

    I have an exchange account I need to delete off my phone, but I want to save some of the contacts to my iphone contact list before I delete the exchange account, is this possible?  Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

    The ideal method would be to export them as VCF files using a computer.
    If you only have access to the Server on your iPhone, you can individually open each one and Share it to yourself by text or email.

    How do you backup IPhone Contact List to PC Computer(XP) ?

    The easiest way that I have found is to open Outlook, go back to Itunes & select your phone.
    Choose the 'Info' tab at the top of the screen & tick the box marked 'Sync contacts with' & choose Outlook from the drop down box.

  • Contacts disappeared from the master contact list ...

    Ok, I have a new problem to update with FP2. Suddenly last evening I noticed that all my contacts are showing as unnamed, although their details are intact. Just the names are missing. The whatsapp favorites/contacts list looks fine and the contact search before making a call is also identifying the contacts. The names have disappeared only from the master contacts list. I tried doing the usual restart couple of times. Also did a Nokia sync but the issue hasn't been resolved. I'm worried about restoring the backup lest the problem remains. Please anybody suggest a remedy.
    Solved!

    Problem resolved. Kindly ignore. There was a confusion regarding server synchronisation. Sorry
