Unable to add contacts on iphone 4

I am unable to add or edit contacts on my iphone 4. The green plus add button is missing. Whenever I go to the mail, contacts, calenders in the settings it reverts back to the home screen. The same also happens when I go into the icloud settings and try to turn on the contacts. Does anyone have any ideas about how to fix this?

    Hi,
    Troubleshooting a start up script can be difficult. There are some third party programs that also keep logs of start up programs, however for Firefox this may be different.
    Is Firefox a startup program? [http://www.winxptutor.com/msinfo32.htm]
    Its also possible to check the Web developer tools for any scripts in a page: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Debugger]
    In the control panel there is also Administrative tools to view event logs, but this may be something a local technician can walk you through.

  • Unable to add invitees to iPhone meeting request

    I am unable to add invitees to meeting requests when sent directly from my iPhone.  When I create an appointment the option to 'add invitees' is not displayed and therefore I can't  create and send meeting requests to contacts.
    Note that I am using Outlook 2011 (with latest update) and am syncing calendar etc via itunes.   This seems to related to default calendar set up, which seems to select the categories I use in Outlook.  I would greatly appreciate some help with this.
    Thanks

  • Unable to add contact

    I have just discovered Skype To Go.
    I have put two people on my contact list and made a very satisfactory call to one of them.
    All attempts to add a third contact fail:-
    I click 'add contact' then enter the name, country and number and click 'save'.
    The window closes and re-opens but the new contact is not there.
    I have plenty of credit.
    Can you help?

  • Add contact to iphone 4s how to sync to iclouds

    how do i had contacts to iphone 4s to get them to show in iclouds

    Be sure you are adding the contact to the iCloud group and not some other group such as "On My iPhone" or "On My Mac".  Then just go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts to On.

  • Unable to sync contacts from iPhone to Address Book...works the other way

    I am unable to have changes on my iPhone reflect in my Mac's address book. For example, I would delete a contact on the iphone, but it stays there in the Mac's address book after sync. The worst part is that now on subsequent syncs, the contact is never added back to the phone or deleted from the computer. I am able to create as many contacts as I want on the phone and sync them to the address book, but just not delete modify them.
    Creating/deleting contacts in the address book works.
    So far, I have tried:
    1. Resetting the sync history.
    2. Replacing all my iPhone contacts with those in address book.
    3. Unselecting and reselecting sync contacts from iTunes.
    4. Archiving my address book, deleting everything in it, syncing, and then repopulating it.
    5. Restoring my iPhone.
    None of this has worked, and I am close to pulling my hair out. I just fixed issues with the new Safari bookmarks sync, and now this. Can anyone please help me fix this issue? Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the idea of looking at the Console. I've created new contacts on my MacBook and my iPhone, but neither is syncing to the other, in fact a new contact group I created in Address Book doesn't even show up in the list of groups in the Contacts sync window in iTunes. Here's what the Console says every time I sync:
    3/28/08 2:45:54 AM AddressBookSync[315] AddressBookSync (client id: com.apple.AddressBook) error: Exception running AddressBookSync: CoreData could not fulfill a fault for '0x1a02fc0 <x-coredata://2123D5A6-CBBA-4900-B49B-0DDF0F8195A8/ABCDPostalAddress/p68>'

  • Can't add contacts to iPhone 3G

    Hi. I have an iPhone 3G and have a problem when trying to add a new contact. If I receive a call from a new number and want to create a contact i press the "add to new contact" button and then type in the persons name and save it as normal.
    However the new contact does not appear in my contacts list. the only way it can be found is if use the iPhone search facility to look for the contact's name. If I create a new contact from scratch it works it's just the "add to new contact' that doesn't work.
    Can anyone help??? Thanks

    I have the same problem. 4.5 hours total across two mobile me chat support sessions have not found a solution.
    The problem is the iPhone is saving contacts when created outside the Contacts App locally on the phone, and not within the MobileMe group.
    I previously had Mobile Me (personal) and Exchange (work) on my phone. New contacts were never saving to either group, but would remain only local on the phone. MobileMe tech support suggested removing the Exchange account on my phone. They said that when creating a new contact the phone didn't know if it should be saved to MobileMe or Exchange, so it always defaulted to the local address book (thus never synced to the cloud). Upon removing my Exchange account, contacts created within the Contacts iPhone app will save to MobileMe and sync perfectly. Unfortunately, when outside the Contacts app (MMS, recent call log, website, email, etc), creating a new contact will still only save locally on the phone. Since MobileMe is the only contact account, the Contacts app will only show contacts within that group (not those that are local on the phone).
    MobileMe support had no recommendation on how to fix this except for deleting my MobileMe account on the phone and trying to recreate. The problem seems to be the previous existence of the Exchange account and the iPhone thinking that group still exists somewhere, so by default, new contacts are still being created in the local phone group and not on MobileMe.
    I hope someone has some solution to this big problem.

  • Unable to add contacts to address book from Mail

    When I mouse over a phone number (or address) in an email message in Mail, an arrow appears that lets me add a new contact with that phone number directly to address book from mail. Unfortunately, when I fill in the information and click "add to address book," the little window disappears but the contact does not appear in my address book.
    Any suggestions for fixing this? Thanks!

    Thank you so much V.K. Your solution worked for me too.
    BTW, I actually had two similar files in the app support:
    AddressBook-v22.abcddb AND AddressBook-v22~.abcddb
    I deleted both, but only the first one gave me the cannot empty trash message.

  • I am unable to add to my bookmarks and my reading list on my iPhone.

    I am unable to add to my bookmarks and my reading list on my iPhone 4S. I was able to perform these two functions yesterday. In addition my bookmarks have been deleted. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    Make a master list, preferably on iCloud.
    You should be able to move contacts around via iTunes.
    Just drop the vCards into the Address Book and wait for the sync to finish.
