Trying to add Custom Label to iPad contacts

I can find the Add Custom Label in the list of labels through contact - edit. I can type in a new Custom Label - but there is just no way to save it. Tearing out what little hair I have. Any advice appreciated.

Sorry! Just press Return on keyboard. Idiot or what. Doh!

Why can I not add custom labels to some contacts?

Some contacts seem to have no ability to have custom labels be added to the label field, while others do. Why is this, and how can I fix it?

I've been so used to working seamlessly from external drives (I had a MBPro 2.2, 120GB drive, tip-toeing around in Lion), that it never occured to me that it would be different in ML on my new Mac Mini. So, yes, after further investigation, the problem seems to only occur on the ONE external drive which I used all the time for all my video files, photos, music and any other large folders. (I plan to migrate most of it to my main drive now that i have 1GB to play with, so it's a temporary hiccup at least.) This probably also explains why I have to "authorize" any move or transformation on that drive, but WHY? It doesn't happen on other drives and I even tried changing permissions to Read and Write for Everyone, to no avail. Perhaps it's still tied in to the MacBook somehow, but then so would be the other drives. ???
Anyway, thank you for your time and for making me delve into this further. At least now I know it doesn't affect the main system.

How to add custom label to a new contact in address book which is synced with outlook account

Hello all,
My iPhone is synced with outlook account. When I tried to create a new contact,'Add Custom Label' option was missing. Is Apple provides any solution to handle this? Is there any documentation provided about this behavior?

The second script is working but if I need to change the link it will not allow me to edit or delete it in iCal on my desktop. The only way to edit it is to use the online iCal in me.com.
And the worst problem is that the url does not show up on my iPhone iCal. The iPhone version of iCal has limited features. So if I'm away from the office on my iPhone I still have the problem of having no link to my iCal appointment. I still end up having to use both iCal and Contacts as separate Apps.
I still dont understand why Apple wouldnt make these 2 Apps work together! It seems so obvious! thanks anyway.

Why am I able to add Custom Labels to some of my contacts and not to others?

In some cases I have multiple telephone numbers I'd like to add to a Contact - sometimes several domestic and international mobile phone numbers for one contact. I'd like to be able to use "Add a Custom Label" to more accurately identify the phone (e.g., "Bob's India Phone"). Some of my contact entries allow me to do that, but other contacts do not include the "Add Custom Labels" option.
Some of my contacts come from Exchange, while others were added on a POP or Mac email account.

This is not completely true for me. I just added a new contact based on a call recieved and I am not able to add a custom label for this one. For others I can, no apparent reason why.
I would like to add that I am running iOS 7.0.2 and the contact in question is also on iPhone (FaceTime available)
I use this feature to add people in same company if small business and would be very happy to have this explained and solved.

i need it so muchhh!

Sort of depend on what you are trying to do precisely. In Edit mode, if you tap on any label, you will be given a list of options, plus an Add Custom Label option near the bottom of the list

IOS 6 creates custom labels and save them giving you the option to delete them.
IOS 7 creates custom labels but don't save them, so there is no need to have the option to delete them.
But here comes the problem, if you have some custom labes saved in you Iphone / Ipad with IOS 6 and you update it to IOS 7, the device will keep those labels saved, but you wont be able to delete them.
I realized this by going to contacts on Icloud. There those labels that I had on my devices weren't there. So simply restoring your device and configuring it as a new one to later sync your Icloud Contacts, will solve the problem.
I know this post is old, but I might just try this with iOS 8. I have outdated custom labels that annoy me, because I still seem them in the list as options. If I get desperate enough, I may try your solution.

IPhone iOS 7 "Add Custom Labels" order changed...No Longer Alphabetized!

Help! I updated my iPhone4 to ios 7 with the recent update. I love everything about it, but when trying to find a custom label in "Contacts > John Doe > Edit > Mobile" and then scrolling down under the "Add Custom Label" menu, I found out that all of my custom labels which had previously been in alphabetized order were ordered according to what I can only guess was their date of creation. With a massive list of clients and contacts from various walks of life and organizations, I created a reusable Custom Lable system since I came across that need in my line of work. After ios 7, that suddenly got rearranged. It never occurred in any other software or hardware update and I've been with iPhone since first gen. How can take my Custom Labels and return to the alphabetized order with which they were previously arranged without losing ios 7? Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi Konsultix!
Yeah, the customizable phone labels have been a real blessing up until recently. If they ever figure this out, you should give it a try. As for the lack of responsiveness which robodr mentioned, I'm not surprised. We've pretty much been an all-Apple campus at my work with computers, portable devices, & even iPhones due to Apple's history with the philosophy of user-friendly simplicity. Unfortunately, that philosophy seems to be changing towards lazy unforeseen complexity. The Mavericks switch (though free), the iWork updates, the rough iMovie launch, glitches with copier drivers resetting, the ios7 glitches, even this inexcusable lag in customer service here, all of it has my board and me rethinking our company-wide devotion to Apple including our iPhones. If we're constantly troubleshooting, then Apple's nullified their advantage in the business sector and we might as well go for the cheaper Windows product since we're still constantly wasting our time & $$ on IT. IT savings was the whole reason we convinced the board to switch in the first place. Without it, Apple might as well kiss our money goodbye. When Steve Jobs was alive, every detail was so well-thought out and customer service was at the top of its game. Now, it's been a month since I posted a problem on Apple's website and no reply. I'm glad to have this poor experience because, honestly, the timing couldn't be better. My organization's AT&T phone contracts are expiring and we might begin switching more than our provider on this campus.

Add Custom Label

Hello everyone,
I am having SOOOOOOOOO many problems with my iPhone (funny thou, have no problems with my iPod touch) after updating to 3.1 this morning that are unbelievable. Can anyone tell me what happened to the option to ADD CUSTOM LABEL to a new contact? I can't add a custom label to a new contact but I can add or change custom label to any contacts that were there prior to the update.... Please HELP!!!!

Creating contacts in your On My iPhone account will allow you to add custom labels; creating them in your Exchange account will not. I had the same problem until I realized that I had set the default account (under Mail, Contacts, Calendars in Seetings) to my Exchange account; I changed it to On My iPhone, and the issue went away. Of course, any contact created this way will no longer auto-sync with Exchange (unless you sync in some other way), but you will be able to use your custom labels.

Missing 'Add Custom Label' button again

A mate and I both have an iphone 4, same firmware i.e. 6.1.3 and as far as i can see all settings are the same. However when entering the same new contact on my phone I have at the bottom of the 'select phone type label' screen an add a 'Custom Label' button, the list of phone types labels on mine are 'Mobile, iPhone, Home, Work, Main, Home Fax, Work Fax, Pager, Other' On my mates his list is 'Home, work, home fax, work fax, pager, assistant, car, company main, radio' and the 'Add Custom Label' button is missing.
Other contact entries on his phone have the same list as mine and they include the 'Add Custom Label' button.
They are both only synchronised with icloud Can anyone help please?

I have found the answer - the 'Contacts' in my mates iPhone was set to 'Exchange' set it to 'iCloud' both iPhones now have the 'Add Custom Label' option

Adding Custom Labels Missing for Contact Numbers After Upgrading to iOS 8.0 and issue still exists on iOS 8.1

I noticed that after upgrading to iOS 8.0 on my iPhone 5s, adding custom labels for contact numbers got removed. It still exists on iOS 8.1 as well. Is there someone who is facing a similar issue or can someone help me how to get that back. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Yugendra,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I have good news. You can still choose a custom label in Contacts on iOS 8. The option should be below "Other" in the list of labels when editing a contact. This information is found in the iOS 8 user guide:
Contacts at a glance - iPhone
Change a label. If a field has the wrong label, such as Home instead of Work, tap Edit. Then tap the label and choose one from the list, or tap Add Custom Label to create one of your own.
Best Regards,
Jeremy

HT204150 My Custom Label file in Contacts is filled with outdated names. How can I delete them?

My Custom Label file in Contacts is filled with obsolete names. How do I delete them?

Thanks Applematt9812, that works great. I never saw that before. It lets you group pictures under the Albums tab nicely.
But, unfortunately, it doesn't fix the names of the groups that get created under the Events tab when you load pictures from a camera card. If that was editable it would help.

I am trying to add event from a email to my calendar on my iPad ios7 and it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong.

You could use icloud to sync contacts and calendars.
Both the ipad and iphone are intended to sync to a computer.
You can redownload apps from the app store, assuming that they are iphone compatible.
