Unable to change new contact email type?

I'm suddenly able to only create emails of type "email" for new contacts. Normally I set various emails to "home" "work" etc. Existing contacts still have multiple email types and when I edit them there's a menu below the email-text entry box with a standard type selection, "home" "work" "other" and all the custom types I've created. However, when I create a new contact that selection menu just isn't there anymore. I only have the text entry box to create the email address.
I've recently changed one setting - I started syncing my contacts to an exchange server. Is there some limitation I don't know about connected with that?

Something similar happened with the original iPhone launch, when I for one "assumed" that Notes and Task syncronization would be included. If a Palm could do it, why not the iPhone?
I have since learned to let other people be first adopters and read reviews and comments before buying. This time around I knew about the lack of Task synchronization, but I had not read anything about mail and contact field issues.
Oh well, next time I need to wait a little bit longer I guess. Either that or enjoy living on the bleeding edge of technology (and inter company squabbling )

  • Since the last software update, I am unable to add new contacts or change existing contacts - neither if I use the green Phone app nor using the brown Contacts app. Any suggestions?

    *Update*
    I thought I had found the offending 'app' namely "Songpop."
    I regularly use "Songpop" on my phone late at night via my wifi connection.
    All enteries on my phonebill are at midnight (even though I have a data allowance it was excluded from allowance). I switched 3G off on Friday, played "Songpop" at midnight and at the exact time I got a "Server Error" message.
    I posted a message on the "Songpop" support forum.At first they said this was a problem relating to my ISP.
    I have spoken to my ISP and asked if there are connection drops at the time I have been billed (ie to establish if my wifi dropped and 3G kicked in without my knowledge) and have been advised that there aren't any connection drops at that time.
    "Songpop" have now responded that "This is an issue to take up with Apple Support"  see: http://support.songpop.fm/songpop/topics/playing_songpop_on_phone_via_wifi_but_i ncurring_download_data_charges_for_3g_useage?utm_content=topic_link&utm_medium=e mail&utm_source=reply_notification
    Hopefully someone at Apple can respond ....

    If you have given correct info about you ios 6.1.3 - all you need to do is delete account. You will be able to sign in with new one afterwards. Make sure you don't delete any info when you see those prompts.

  • HT4528 Is there any way to change the contact email?

    Is there any way to change the contact email? I had deleted my contact email without even a thought about my Apple ID. Any suggestions?
    <Re-Titled By Host>

    Without being able to login with the Apple ID credentials, it is not possible to change the recovery email address.  This is called security and prevents others from forcibly changing your Apple ID password and taking over the account.
    Options are either remember the security answers or fix access issues with the recovery email account.

  • Ipad unable to add new contacts

    updated my ipad to ios5. now, i see that i am unable to add new contacts on my ipad. there is no plus button

    Hi I found this elseware and it does correct the problem
    It all has to do with stupid iCloud.  If you go to Settings - iCloud - Turn on Contacts and Calendars you will be able to add contacts and calendar events.  Its so Apple gets to know everything about you, there goes all our privacy.  Thanks apple....... with your new update...now you can sell our data to make you even richer

  • Contact email type changed when syncing

    hello!
    i have quite a few contacts on my iPhone with various emails each one. most of which i took the time in assigning each one either work or home email type/label. but after syncing with my computer (pc / outlook 2003), most of the contacts have the email type wrong/switched.
    any ideas?
    thanks!

  • Unable to recieve new contact requests.

    I'm trying to stay calm and collected to get this issue resolved here. I can only begin to imagine how much oppertunity I have lost, as clients are unable to send me contact requests. Those who have been patient enought to stick around, insist they have sent me requests 3+ times. Still I get nothing. I am unable to find any solutions to this anywhere on the internet post 2012, reverting to older versions doesn't help, uninstalling doesn't help and the latest version of Skype doesn't help. Mobile android versions don't help either. Please someone help?

    Right, screw you Skype, I'm going to WeChat and becoming an envagelist for the product too.
    After some investigation, I discovered Skype is actually owned by Microsoft. Theres the reason why it this product sucks.
    I bought an expensive Microsoft HD webcam the other day too. The video and audio does not sync with my "Record to Desktop" feature on Nvidia's shadowplay, while 10 other programmes recorded at the same time seem to do it just fine.
    **bleep** you and your company to hell.
    I'm actually developing a new virtual reality system I started implementing your Kinect into (probably the last innovative product you released), but then came along Leap Motion, now your company is well and truely screwed.
    Have a good day rotting in hell

  • Facebook changed my contacts email address

    The new facebook change, changed the email address of anyone in my contact list who has a facebook account.
    Can I put this back to the way it was?
    I want to be able to have the contacts real email address not the facebook email address in my contact list.

    I noticed Facebook changed everyone's default e-mail address to the Facebook address it assigned. Lame! Anyway, I looked through my contacts and the real e-mail addresses are still there. They haven't been overridden by the Facebook addresses. This may be because I use the browser for Facebook and not the app.
    What happens if you choose to view only your phone and Google contacts and not Facebook contacts? Do their real email addresses return? I know this isn't a long-term solution if you want your FB contacts in your address book. I'm sorry, I'm at a loss for an answer right now, since mine didn't change. But maybe someone else will have an idea.

  • Changing my contact email address

    This one is weird. I can't change my email contact address. In that my icloud and apple ID addresses are correct, but for some reason the notification address in Apple Support Communities is wrong. I can't see where in preferences I can change this. All discussion found points me to apply ID which is all fine.
    Can  anyone help please? Thanks.

  • Changing New Account Email Profile

    I have a client site that I have taken live. When I set up their email addresses, the emails that are generated instructing them to set their password and the welcome emails are picking up the logo and company information from my partner site rather than the logo and domain information from their site. I cannot seem to find where in the system to change this or update what information is being used in those emails (I would like to configure the emails to provide additional information). Any help would be appreciated.

    I just finished a chat with support on this. It seems that if I create a client site under my partner plan, even though the client site has its own domain and email system through BC, the email account instructions for setting up a password and the welcome email that is delivered to their inbox is generated and branded from my partner account, not the client account. Support says that there is no way to change this. The net for my client is that although they have their own domain and email addresses, any new email account that is created will deliver messages to their employees new email, (e.g. welcome messages and instructions) with my partner branding. Can anyone verify that this is the way it works? My expectation as a client of mine is that once my domain and email are set up as mine, I don't want to see any branded messages coming from the company that set up the system i.e. partner account. Comments from BC please - am I missing something? Thanks.

  • I am using Outlook with Icloud and it is changing the contact email order and in calandar is losing the ability to access a web address by directly clicking on it

    I just intstalled iCloud on my PC which uses Outlook.
    As a result I have to select iCloud everytime I open Outlook to see both my contacts and Calandars
    when i go to send an email, iCloud reverses the order of the email address for a particular contact.  For example, within the contact in outlook the husband address is in the first email and the wife's address in the second spot.  However when I try to send an email in some cases it presents the email address's in the reverse order
    When booking southwest airline flights, i save the flight info to outlook calandar.  this flight info contains active links to Southwest which allow me to check in without having to enter name, etc.  once the calandar event goes to iCloud and comes back to my PC it strips out the ability to have an active link and shows the web address in a text form.
    I hope someone has some ideas about this

    First make sure Settings > Facebook > Contacts is turned off. Tis might be different from what you described in your question.
    Then open your Contacts app and check carefully what is there for your son and grand daughter's contact info. Correct if necessary.

  • Apple ID changing contact email

    I have 3 Apple ID's
    two are for uploading Ibooks and the third is for an Apple developers account.
    The ID I want to use has an Email contact address which I can no longer access, how can I change the contact email for that Apple ID as when I enter the password it tells me it's incorrect and if I request a password reset it is sent to the email address which I can no longer access.
    Any help?

    Apple ID security issues -
    Account security issues almost always require you to speak directly to an Apple representative to securely establish your identity as the account holder. You can set it up so that Apple calls you, either immediately or at a time convenient to you.

  • Applescript cannot reference Outlook 2011 Contact Email Address

    Hi All,
    Hair all pulled out; about to kick my head against a real brick wall.  I have an applescript that had worked great in Entourage but Outlook has changed the dictionary. Trying to tweak it, but it's painful.
    Basically, I'm trying to add email addresses to a contact object. In entourage, I used this:
    set addx to (make new email address with properties {type:home, contents:(item i of emailAddresses)} at theContact)
    And it worked great (obviously, I declare theContact earlier and do stuff with it later)
    Accordng to the dictionary, in Outlook it seems the list of contact email addresses are in a property called "Email Addresses" which contains a list of "Contact Email Address" items.
    Any attempt to reference, declare, make new, ANYTHING with contact emaill addres fails with an error.  As an example (emailAddresses is my own list of text items)
    This command: set addx to make new contact email address with properties {type:work, address:(item i of emailAddresses)}
    Returns this: Microsoft Outlook got an error: Can’t make class contact email address.
    This one: set end of email addresses of theContact to (contact email address with properties {type:work, address:(item i of emailAddresses)}
    won't even compile, and returns: A properties:true can’t go after this contact email address.
    So I'm not sure how to add an address if I can't declare one.
    If anyone has successfully added an email to a contact record via applescript, I'd LOVE to see how you did it!
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    I don't have Outlook, so can't be sure here, but there are common AppleScript parallels that might help.
    This command: set addx to make new contact email address with properties {type:work,address:(item i of emailAddresses)}
    Returns this: Microsoft Outlook got an error: Can’t make class contact email address.
    Typically you cannot arbitrarily make a new object without defining where.
    I would suspect this code would work better as:
    set addx to make new contact email address at end of email addresses of theContact with properties {type:work,address:(item i of emailAddresses)}
    By telling AppleScript where to create the object you should be OK
    Just a guess, though.
