Using # & p in saved contact numbers

I use a company voicemail and used to be able to add extra pauses and characters to a saved number in order to access the system. This no longer works since I have IOS5. Any suggestions?

The symbols used in the iPhone are:
soft pause => , (that's a comma, if it's not clear)
hard pause => ; (that's a semi-colon)
Those work in my contacts phone numbers with iOS 5 at least.

How can I remove space in saved contact numbers

Does anyone have any idea how to remove the space created by the phone after the first 5 numbers in my contacts so that my phone works in my car.
Thanks

Hi
Please try to check Item size defined, change that to Uniform spacing.
Also, if you have increased stroke value for menu items then it would show same.
If still same, please upload screenshots , so that we can have a better idea.
Thanks,

Using pauses in stored contact numbers for dialing.

Apple or anyone,
I am trying to add a pause after a phone number. Specifically, I want to add the PIN for my calling card after the number. Before posting this call for help, I read through many other Apple Discussions on the topic as well as other internet sites. I understand that the Pause (or comma) feature can be found on the dialer. I have tried manually entering in the comma, using the formal "Pause", varying the number of pauses, and I've tried to access the number through the contact app and the phone app. I've even shut the thing down to see if that worked. All with the same result.
My phone will dial the first number up until the first pause, then absolutely nothing else. No pause, no long dial tones like some other posts talk about, nothing. For all intensive purposes, my pause feature is completely inop.
Apple, or anyone else, do you have a suggestion? I'm using a brand new iPhone 3G with 2.2.1 loaded. I also live in Japan.
Cheers,
Hector

I don't know about what you are referring to when you refer to a "pause/comma comma feature can be found on the dialer". I haven't found one.
The only way I found to successfully get commas/pauses in a phone number is to put the number in my address book and then sync that to the iPhone. It works great. I believe that each comma is about a 2 second pause (don't quote me on that part).

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

Is it possible to use a single iPhone with two contact numbers via dual sim or an app?

This would be a useful feature for personal and company numbers but using one mobile, rather than carrying two devices or diverting calls.

Then go ahead and try it. You'll find it's probably a load of crap.
You want 2 numbers, then use Google Voice or TalkaTone
Those are US based only Apps or numbers so no good. I won't be wasting money by just trying something either, especially because using a dual sim would mean purchasing another sim card on either pay as you go or monthly contact.

I wonder if I buy a new iphone but I will use my old simcard is everything in the simcard will stay if I place in a new iphone ?? Exp: contact numbers photoes application and messages.

Hey JustEhlan,
Thanks for the question. When it comes to iPhone, very little is stored on the SIM card. Contacts, Photos, etc can be backed up with iTunes or iCloud and then transferred to a new device. For information on how to do so, see this resource:

How do I change the default folder for saving contacts?

I have happily used Outlook for several years for POP accounts. My recent addition of an Exchange account has hijacked several default behaviors that I was used to. For one, contacts are now saved by default in the exchange related contact
folder instead of the folder that is associated with my primary POP account. How do I reconfigure Outlook to saved contacts to my preferred folder, so that I don't have to constantly move the new contacts after they are saved? I do not want this
information on the exchange account. This bad behaviour occurs no matter what email account is read, from which I am saving the contact info.
To reproduce the problem: Open a message in the POP email, right click on the FROM email address, choose Add to Contacts from the menu, find the contact stored in the exchange contact folder instead of the contact folder for the POP account (the folder
that Outlook USED to save to prior to adding the exchange account).
Work around: (annoying the first few times, mentally unhealthy after more than a few) Save the contact, then manually move it to the correct folder.

Hi,
What version of Outlook are you using?
I have test this in Outlook 2010/ Windows 7.
If set POP as default outlook data file(.pst),
Open a message in the POP email, and right click "Add to Contact" in FROM with External email address, it will save to POP contact folder.
If the Email address end with @Exchange.com, it always save to Exchange contact folder, no matter what is default email account, maybe this behavior by default.
Hope this helps.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Origami?
You can transfer the excel spreadsheet in to a .csv file and import to Outlook.
Or use desktop manager (see link below)
Do you have these numbers on another device?
What version of Windows, Outlook, desktop manager etc. are you using?
Thanks,

Why in the blue blazes can't I use my old "iWork's " numbers when I downloaded the software onto my computer that has Yosem

For years I used 1)apple works, 2)then iWork's 8 3)even iWork's 9 to do the books for a small business. Now that I have a computer with yosemite I can't even make a spreadsheet.
I have loaded my older iWork's 8 software into my computer PRAYING that I could then just make spread sheets using it, or even more blessedly, not having to
update every freaking report/spreadsheet I had done over the past years and transfer them individually.
No, I can't use my old software, nor can I even figure out how to make comparable spreadsheets for a template, if I have to do everything from scratch I will no longer use apple software for such--yes, if you are listening, that is me screaming at the top of my lungs.

mama,
I am sorry you are so frustrated. Keep in mind these forums are answered by fellow users. Non of us are Apple employees.
We are focused on trying to find solutions to problems that exist now with the constraint that we can only use what is available to every other user. Yelling or venting here is really a waste of good energy.
If you have iWork '09 installed then you should use that to migrate Numbers '08 files as you come across them. Numbers '08 is dead and is not supported. For that matter I guess that Numbers '09 is likely to be dead-ended soon. You should make sure you have completed all updates by
- opening the Finder menu item " > App Store..." then clicking the "Updates" button:
The latest Number (version 3.x) will open Numbers '09 documents
Numbers '09 (version 2.x) will open Numbers '09 and Numbers '08
I do not think Numbers '08 will run on Yosemite (but I cannot check that).
You can have both Numbers '09 (version 2.x) installed on the same computer as Numbers 3.x
The two icons look like this:
Numbers Numbers
2.x 3.x
I keep both in my doc so that I know which one I am launching. To open a particular document with a particular version of Number drag and drop the document on the appropriate icon in the doc. Note that Numbers '09 CANNOT open documents created, or saved by, Numbers 3.x.
If you have specific question, please post back

I am using Garageband and saving my tunes as iTunes files but can´t find them in iTunes on my computer after syncing. Where are they?

I am using Garageband and saving my tunes as iTunes files but can´t find them in iTunes on my computer after syncing. Where are they?

My answer in the older thread is still valid
Maybe the "iTunes Music" folder is hidden.
Please open Terminal and issue the following command
ls -ladO /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music
you should get a line similar to this
drwxrwxrwx 13 yourusername staff hidden 442 12 Mar 21:49 /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music
Numbers, date and time may differ.
If you see hidden then the folder is hidden. To unhide "iTunes Music", in Terminal issue the following command
chflags nohidden /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music
