Trouble with contacts for texting

When I type a new text message and try to enter a name in the To: field the contacts do not come up in alphabetical order.  I have to type several letters of the name before it comes up.  I have my Contacts setting for Sort Order and Display Order set to First, Last names.  Doe anyone know how to change this?

Sorry you still don't understand. There's no point in deleting one contact, I don't want to delete my Facebook contacts I just don't want them to appear in with my local contacts. And I wouldn't be able to re-add that one contact without deleting Facebook completely and reinstalling it since the contacts app gets its data from Facebook. I'm not "pushing any memory limits" I have a 16gb phone and a 32gb memory card and that's pretty sad if it can only handle 486 contacts ESPECIALLY if it's going to add your Facebook contacts and not enable you to remove them. The contact app is having trouble saving my preferences. I highly doubt it has ANYTHING to do with the actual contacts, i believe it is a problem with the app itself because I can still add local contacts and delete them but none of my preferences such as the Facebook contacts not appearing and setting it to the dark theme will save.

    How do I create a group in contacts for texting to several people?

    Create your group on your computer, and sync it on your iPhone. But you cannot use this group for texting. You need an application for this. Easy Group is a free one I have developped.

    Olga, this is not a default feature in iPhone. You need a 3rd party application. I have created a free one, Easy Group, for group texting and group emailing.

  • How to edit phone numbers in contacts for text messages

    My number is blocked so others can't see my phone number.  In order to unblock my number for friends and relatives, I added *82 in front of those phone numbers in my contact list to override the block and show my number.  So here's the problem -- when I want to send a new text message to someone in my contact list (whose number is preceded by *82), I need to edit the number to remove those extra characters in order to be able to send a text message to them.  Is there any way I can edit the phone number from within the messaging function?
    Thanks.

    I am havng a similar problem that I can't figure out. I have mutiple numbers for each contact. i.e. mobile with *82, mobile without *82 for texting, home number, work number etc...  I would like for them to come up in a spicific order. The two mobile numbers first and then home and work. That way I can get to the mobile numbers first as those are most used. Also so to save time knowing that all contacts are in the same order.  So far it has been random for each contact. Some come up mobile first either with or without *82, others come up home first and some come up work first. I have tried deleting the entire contact and starting over thinking that the first number you enter becomes the primary. That didn't work. Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance

  • Problems with searching for text in Preview

    Hi, everyone...I'm hoping someone can help me out with this. I have an old MBP with Tiger installed and Preview 3.0.9. I have attempted to search for words in numerous PDF files and the search function NEVER brings up the words even when I know the words are contained in the document. I read the Preview manual and I know I'm following the correct procedures in searching for text, but nothing seems to work. Can anyone help me out with what I may be doing wrong? Thanks!

    I can't picture what you could possibly be doing wrong, there's not much choice in the matter.
    The only time Searching fails here is if the text in the PDF is actually only a graphic of the text.
    Are these PDFs that you made? If so, what APP?
    If you down load this PDF, does Search work on it?

  • Trouble with Contacts (address book)

    Dear Apple Community: I have problems with Contacts. When I open up Contacts there is noting there and noting works like adding a new contact or group; it's like it's locked up somehow. I always try to find answers myself before asking the Apple Community. I Found a U-Tube video explaining how to fix a problem similar to mine. It told to reimport your Contact data base, but my import menu item is grayed out. Any ideas of how I can fix my Contact app? Is there something is Library that might be corrupted that I can throw away? Thank you!

    In Finder hold down the option key while selecting the Go menu. Select your library. Go to Preferences/com.apple.Addressbook.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.

  • Updated Z10 to new software release 10.2.0.429 and having trouble with sending BBM/text messages

    I recently updated my Blackberry Z10 to the new software release 10.2.0.429 and I'm having trouble sending messages on BBM b/c the red X shows up on every single message that I send to any contact on my list. This was never a problem for me prior to updating it. I also suddenly cannot open my browser nor can I open my texts properly nor send or receive texts. The keyboard on the touchscreen shows up constantly while im trying to navigate through the phone and it stays frozen until I lock/unlock the phone. All of this ONLY started happening ever since I updated it. What's going on? Please help, this shouldn't be happening!!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community! 
    Keep the phone on, and remove the battery for about a minute or more and then replace it

  • I am having trouble with contacts syncing (CardDAV vs iCloud)

    I found that a number of recently added contacts do not sync across iCloud (devices). I have read several forum threads and can't seem to find a solution. I digging into my group text app (Text2Group) I discovered that somehow the missing contacts are not in iCloud but CardDAV. I added them in my phone by opening contacts and tapping on the + symbol in the upper right hand corner of the screen. I did the same thing over the years and never had this problem before upgrading to iOS 8 and then 8.1.1, or at least noticing it recently..
    I logged out and back in from both devices. turned off/rebooted my iPhone. The contacts I added today on my MacBookPro (13-inch, Mid 2009, 8 GB ram, OS 10.9.5) today appear on both my iPad Mini and Phone 5S....
    Any thoughts other than manually adding the phone CardDAV-contacts to iCloud so the will syn. All of the contacts in CardDAV can be found in contacts, but cannot be added to groups.  Baffling

    You can sync/manually mange iphone with one and only one computer.  If you sync/manually mange to anther, then it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.
    What "trouble" are you having?

  • Nokia 500 GPS questions/troubles with: Contacts, F...

    So... I have owned my 500 now since Christmas (I received the 500 as a gift from my father-in-law). Overall, for my first GPS device, I really enjoy all the features... But, I'm having quite a few troubles and hoped that some expert users or Nokia Support folks might be able to help.
    1) It took me forever, but I found a program to sync my Treo 700wx from Verizon to the Nokia 500. When I first tried syncing my phone it was recognized just fine but then only downloaded my 5 favorite (or quick dial) contacts from the Windows Mobile homepage. Then I did some looking on the internet and found a program from a company called JETware Mobile Software at www.jetwaremobile.com. The first time I used this software (the trial version only) I suceeded in syncing 623 contacts to the Nokia 500. Here are the issues though... The addresses did not sync (what a huge inconvenience considering this was 90% of the reason I wanted to sync the contacts). The phone numbers for each contact (if there were multiple phone numbers for the same person) sync as seperate contacts on the Nokia 500 (not a huge deal).
    Question# 1) Isn't there a way to use some sort of a program on the PC to syncronize contacts from let's say Outlook or VCF files or a CSV file to the Nokia 500 manually?
    2) I copied all the data from the supplied 2gb SD card and loaded it onto a new AData 16gb SD card & re-inserted the card to make sure everything worked ok on the device - No problem. I uploaded 8 gb of MP3 & 4 gb of Movies (in MP4 format - great program to use is www.pqdvd.com - buy the iPod version or PSP version so you can use it for both) and 1 gb of pictures.
    Here are my comments:
    MP3's - The player is a bit cheezy, but I was finally able to figure out how to play at random all the MP3s or play individual folders of songs at a time. Too bad you can't create or import a playlist!
    FM Transmitter - Totally worthless in Sacramento, CA where there isn't a whole lot of open FM channels on the radio dial. Unfortunately my Jetta doesn't have an audio input plug otherwise this might work a lot better!
    Note: the only place I can find to turn the FM transmitter on is in the MP3 playing mode (very strange & annoying)
    Movies - I read a lot here to find out why the playback was so choppy & pretty low quality... Bottom line - You have to record the MP4s at about 15fps and create a MP4 file for about a one & a half hour movie that is about 600mb or so. This seemed to work pretty good.
    Question #2) Is there a recommendation from Nokia experts on how to help the FM transmitter function worth a darn?
    3) I've searched for many addresses on the GPS and echo other's complaints about very strange missing information & strange city lines in Nokia's software. It's very odd to me that I have to go thru about 10 clicks to "Take me home" and that everytime the device navigates me home it takes me a very off-the-beaten-path way home.
    Question #3) Is there a way to save the route you actually drove between two destinations and store that as a trip on the Nokia 500 - vs. storing just the end destination & the Nokia solution to get from point A to B.
    4) Battery life - If I had to guess the average battery life I've seen using this device is about 1 hour from power up to "I really need charging". Is this normal for GPS devices? I'm guessing it must be and most people just keep these plugged in at all times to their cigarette adapters.
    5) Traffic - From my testing in Sacramento, CA there is no traffic service or alerts.
    Question #4) Is there a service I need to purchase & how would one go about turning on traffic services for the Nokia 500?
    6) User-interface - I'm brand new to this whole GPS world but as you can tell from this review I'm pretty tech-savvy... I'm a bit surprised at home much savvy it really takes to operate this device and I would think the average not-so-savvy user would be very put off by this.
    Overall if I were to rate this device out of 10 I'd have to say it's a strong 6/10 and possibly a 7/10.
    I really appreciate any expert feedback on my above 4 questions & 6 topics if at all possible.
    Thank you!
    ~Jeff

    Jeff, here's my input on your points and questions. Thanks for writing your post...
    Question 1) It only supports syncing over bluetooth with phones that meet its bluetooth specs (see the user manual on the DVD for more details or the product website)
    Point 2)
    While you can't create or import a playlist on the Nokia, you can use your media player on your computer (e.g. Windows Media Player), while the SD card is inserted in your card reader on your computer, to create a playlist. Then copy the playlist file over the existing playlist file found in the root of your SD card.
    Question 2) Not sure how to answer this one. The transmitter is built into the Nokia. So you just need to program it to use an available frequency (understanding that it is hard to find in your area). It doesn't unfortunately have the ability to scan for available frequencies (that would be cool).
    Point 3) After you've selected to take you home, press the menu button and the Alt Route button where you can (according to the manual) configure the Nokia to block a route from being used.
    Question 3) You would have to create a trip that includes enough waypoints (which you can create by creating bookmarks as you drive along) and then use that. Not to be sarcastic, but I find it funny how obsessed we all get about a GPS choosing the best route when if you already know of a better route then why do you even need the GPS' guidance? I'm guilty of this too so I'm also laughing at myself.
    Point 4) I'm guessing that if your using the bluetooth integration, the FM transmitter, the TMC receiver, streaming video, using navigation, and keeping the brightness at the max setting, the estimated 2hr battery life isn't going to happen. The manual actually recommends using the cigarette lighter because it is your TMC receiver.
    Point 5) My city (Vancouver, Canada) does offer TMC and my Nokia says its tuned in (I know because I've also seen the message where it says it is Tuning) yet I've not seen one traffic advisory yet. My Nokia's manual included an addendum from Nokia saying that TMC service is not available in the US and Canada. We all know this isn't true but maybe this is Nokia's way of saying their version of a TMC receiver doesn't work in North America.
    Question 4) Good question. I think the answer is no because this TMC receiver is meant to work with a free TMC service. I'm thinking that maybe the only TMC services in US and Canada are pay-services that require you to enter a subscription unlock code in your GPS - the Nokia doesn't appear to provide such a function. *** This is my theory, I haven't confirmed this with any TMC provider ***
    Point 6) I agree the user interface is not meant for non-tech-literates. It took me awhile to figure it out. Especially the meaning of icons and when to use them. This is NOT the Tivo of GPS
    Overall I'm satisfied with my GPS even though I suspect there will never be map, POI, or software updates. I plan to figure out a way to mount it to my motorbike and ride all the way down to Mexico City (if I can figure out how to unlock the license for the Mexico map!)

  • Problem with Contacts for 6500 slide

    I recently bought a Nokia 6500 slide and i`m very pleased, except one thing.
    I used to have some other phones, and all my contacts were on the memory of that phone (not on the SIM).
    For me to have my contacts on the 6500 slide, i had to move all those contacts on the sim, then insert the sim into the 6500 slide and move them again from there to the phone memory (i hate having my contacts on the sim couse i can't add any aditional info).
    Ok, so.. after i moved all my contacts to the phone memory, i saw that from about 200 contacts, i only have about 20. At first i thought "ok, there was a problem with the moving process and i lost them all..." I was just about getting over this, when I realized that those numbers that I lost are still in there, but i can't see them.
    If I manualy enter a number of a contact that don't show in my Contacts List, when it dials, the number appears on the screen. Same if that contact calls me. I can't see them in the Contact List tho.
    It's like there are hidden or something..
    I tried changing the settings so that i can see only the contacts in the SIM (in which case, none apear), only in the phone (only those 20 or so appear) or showing both (still, only 20 or so appear).
    The contacts are not in the SIM couse i tried putting the sim back in the old phone, and it's empty.
    They must be somewhere in the phone. Is there a hidden setting that i can find, that allows me to see those contacts that I thought I lost? It's very annoying to wait till someone calls me so I can add his number again in the phonebook
    To be more specific, let me give an example.
    Let's say I had contact "John" with the number "12345678". Now I can't see it anymore.
    If i dial 12345678 and then hit "Call", it apears like "Calling John"
    If John calls me, it apears like "John" on the screen.
    If i try to add John to the phone book I get a message like "A name is already entered for that number"
    It's like... all the contacts are already there, but I can't see them
    Can someone help me please... I`m really desperate

    Hello and welcome to the forums;
    First, you mention the error references a SIM card, however your profile says you have a Sprint device. A small problem there, and I would like to clear up any confusion as which device you have: a Sprint CDMA device, or one with a SIM card.
    Second, have you tried restarting your device? Hold down the power button and move the ringer mute switch next to it back and forth 3 times, then wait 4-5 seconds for the device to restart by itself.
    Try this, and let us know what happens.

  • Trouble with auto size text in a single line form field

    Hi.  I'm having an issue with filling out a form in Adobe Reader on my iPad.  The text field is single line.  The font is set to "auto" so that the line of text will not exceed a certain width.  When filling out this form on my laptop using Adobe Reader, it works fine.  As I type additional text, once the field is filled, it shrinks the text font size.  On my iPad, however, it won't let me type any more text in the field once I reach the end.  Does Adobe Reader for iPad not support the "auto" font size in form fields?  And I did check that my version of Adobe Reader is up to date on my iPad, so I do have the latest version.
    Thanks in advance for your help,
    Ashley

    Actually, nevermind.  It must be something wrong with the file.  I tried opening another file and auto resize worked perfectly on it.  Weird though that it works on one file and not another.
    Thanks!

  • More trouble with exporting for web

    Alright,
    Sorry to say but I am still having trouble converting/exporting my film trailer to the website for PC users to be able to access it.
    I converted it to a quicktime movie film from FCP, which plays beautifully but apparently PC users can't see it still.
    I have tried exporting to Compressor and tried every format there (mobile devices, web and so on...) they all came out pretty blurry.
    Does anybody have a full proof plan for converting/exporting for website viewing (PC and Mac compatible)?????
    P.S. It may help some of you to see the problem on the page http://www.inthelandofsmiles.com/Site/Film_Trailer.html
    THANKS IN ADVANCE!

    I will second the Flash suggestion. Great a .flv file and play it on your site with a flv player. Some are more difficult than others to use.
    NOTHING is fool proof with this kind of stuff. Flash has the highest install rate on all computers and is as close as you can get to fool proof. You can also put a link on you site to download the latest flash player. The other plus is that it tends to have the best results with low file sizes. This is what YouTube and similar sites use to play their video.
    PS. I highly suggest this flv player... It's free for non-commercial use and almost free for other uses...
