Sorting contacts on iphone by company rather than individual names

has anyone seen an application that will sort the contacts by company name rather than the individual names?

You can't sort your contacts by anything but name directly on the phone, but a little work on the computer can give a result that might work. I create groups in my contact manager that syncs to the iPhone. I can put people from different businesses in different groups. That way I can choose a specific group to look through, rather than all the contacts. It also works to separate out family and friends, etc. But you can't create the groups on the phone, only on the computer, and then sync them to the phone.

  • Merging contacts between iphone and Outlook  rather than syncing

    I want to be able to update a contact on iphone and in Outlook and when I sync I want the contacts to merge.
    At the moment they seem to sync so if I have deleted on old phone number in Outlook but it is still on iphone it reappears after the synce and vice versa.
    I want to merge so I can edit freely on both devices and on syncing be given the choice what information to accept or reject (like my Nokia E51 used to).

  • I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago avaiable.  Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore which i assume will literally delete any new contacts added...?

    I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I recently sold my macbook air and also my mac book pro, so have no recent backups avaiable.  I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago available on an external hdd as a time machine backup.  Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore?  The reason i wish to do this is because in the update i didnt lose any messages, so all of the people i have met and networked with since that last update those many months ago, i have in my messages listings.  They are all unidentified numbers at present but over time i will be able to work through the messages and based on the conversation recall who each was with.  Also, yesterday, some two weeks after the update had left my contacts list entirely empty... a vast majority just reappeard, though all of them are without any phone numbers, all just emails or facebook contacts.  This is the work of facebook not mac/ios6 isnt it...?  Any help here would be greatly apprecaited.  I am about 2 days from flying to canada and having those contacts would make life a lot easier.

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

  • In "Save As", display as "Kind" rather than by "Name"

    Hi. I have a number of users asking this question. On their Mac, when trying to "Save As", how do they get to sort the contents of the target folder by "Kind" rather than by "Name". The default way results in a muddled display of files and folders. It would be nice to Have all the folders listed, and then the file names. (See below)
    In Finder, I have this button,
    enabling me to get the desired result.
    Thank you.

    Hi
    Sadly...from Text Editor, I dont.
    Click this first (list view):
    Sorry, I should have mentioned, the 'save as' is from Word, Excel etc. In Text editor, I see the Kind header, but it is just a lable, not an active column.
    It can be done in Excel also. 
    (You might have to right-click the colm headings and select Kind to have it listed):

  • TOC based on filenames rather than heading names.

    I created a WebHelp project by linking to a FrameMaker 12 book. After first generating the output, the TOC and index were not included although they were part of the book.

  • Sorting Contacts on iPod by Company

    Hi, my father and I own a business and i'm giving him my iPod. He has a Windows PC and uses Outlook and likes the idea of having an all-in-one gadget for music and contacts, but we've hit a problem along the way. How do I sort the contacts by company, instead of a First/Last name basis?
    Thanks,
    Mark.

    I'd also like to be able to sort contacts by Business->User (like iTunes does with albums->songs).

  • Siri sometimes makes me feel like iPhone 3.99 rather than 4s...

    One of the major reasons i sold my iPhone 4 and purchased the 4s is because of siri (and i wanted a different color).  However, what i didn't know is what is bothering me.  I didn't realize that siri is dependent upon a network connection for ANY command.  For the past few days, i've felt like I downgraded rather than upgradeed...i cannot even voicedail because siri "cannot connect to the network."  Seriously???  Can't even voicedial consistently? 
    I hope apple figures out a way to roll out an update that allows voicedialing to be done from the local handset separate from siri's servers or something...this is major FAIL.

    Well, for one thing, Siri has had some service hiccups, in the last day or so, and wasn't able to connect to the network for a large part of yesterday. I think things are fine now...
    Also, Siri is in beta. Apple warned us that they would constantly be making tweaks and changes to the Siri engine, and if that means that some things don't work here and there, just know that it is because they are trying to make it 10X better.
    Sorry that you are having those problems, though. Remember, it's a beta.

  • Why is my iPhone called "iPhone" rather than my name ex: Cynthia's iPhone?

    I recently had my iPhone 5s replaced and the replacement phone's name is just "iPhone" rather than personalized with my name, such as "Cynthia's iPhone"
    As a matter of fact my old defective iPhone 5s was only referred to as "iPhone" also. If anyone knows why this is I would appreciate the help. My old backups (from my old iPhone) are still listed in iTunes and are referred to as Cynthia's iPhone, but new phone is just called iPhone?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Looking for an app that will manage all my business contacts (5,000 ) by company and then by name

    I'm looking for an app that will manage all my business contacts (5,000+). Want the app to categorize by company and then by name, kind of like an organization chart
    Ex.     Apple, Inc.
    -John
    -Sam
                                        -Nicole
    I just downloaded "FastContact" for free but its too slow while searching. After more research I saw "ABContacts" but don't want to pay $5 for something I may not be looking for.
    Any suggestions?

    The only thing available to you is the restrictiions section in settings.  Due to sandboxing, apps cannot interoperate with other apps except for sending data files from one app to another if allowed.  There is no app that will help you.
    Settings>General>Restrictions.

  • [SOLVED] ls -l shows GID rather than group name

    Hi Guys,
    As the title suggests, ls -l shows GID rather than the group name. (The username is listed correctly). The groups command also shows only GIDs and not the corresponding group names.
    I have issued the pwconv, grpconv, pwck and grpck commands and these all run without error.
    What am I missing here?
    Any ideas much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks very much Celf, you were correct, the /etc/group file was only readable by root. The chmod 644 fixed it.
    Thanks again for your help, much appreciated.

  • Transfer file to iPhone with wire rather than use iTunes match

    Hi, I have iTunes match. I create DJ mixes and my own tunes so every time I want to put them on phone I have to currently:
    1. Save them to itunes
    2. Upload them to iTunes match (which takes around 43 days)
    3. Wait another 3 weeks
    4. Download them to iphone
    Now this process has slowly started to irritate the absolute sh!tters out of me especially when on my old android phone I just plugged it in and dragged them over - thus 200MB file done in less than a minute - compared to around 67 days using iPhone.
    Do I have to just turn off iTunes Match and never ever user it again? I suppose I could do this but I do quite like the facility to download any track at any time so WHY CANT I JUST F%%$KIN DRAG MY MUSIC ACROSSS FFS.
    Any help would be much appreciated, thanks

    It's ok I've [sort of] solved this, it's a bit long winded which is what I expect nowadays from Apple but at least it doesn't allow anyone to access their iPhone filesystem - god forbid.
    Basically you have to turn off iTunes match on iphone, plug in iPhone - you may have to 'set up as new iPhone' which scared me a bit as it isn't new - I 've just never plugged it in... anyway it will then start 'syncing' which scared the sh1t out of me, but it seemed to be ok. Then you can drag files from iTunes into your iPhone viola!
    I'm beginning to think iTunes Match is probably great for someone that buys all their music from iTunes and only ever listens to individual tracks/albums, but for me when I mainly listen to 2-3 hour long mixes, none of which are obviously in apples matching library - the upload speeds are just too slow.
    Still, the frustration is in the v poor iTunes interface - the fact that the progress bar gives no actual indication where it's up to or what it's doing. And another thing is when you try and import an unrecognised file format such as FLAC or AVI. OK this is frustrating in itself but ignoring the fact you can't, YOU JUST DONT GET ANY ERROR MESSAGE - NOTHING, it doesn't say sorry it can't import the file, iTunes doesn't support it. It just does NOTHING - so the obvious assumption is that it HAS ACTUALLY IMPORTED IT. And then when you go to play/view said file sometimes ages after you realise that it didn't actually import.
    These user interface errors I learned to avoid whilst writing computer programs in GCSE computing when I was 15 years old. So maybe Apple need to hire some new developers it's shocking.
    RANT OVER.

    I would like the flexibility to sort the mails in my in-box by sender, subject, date... as can be done using Outlook. Is it possible?..If so, how?’

    That's not possible using the Apple Mail App. Try looking at some of the many other Mail Apps in the App Store to see if one meets your need.
