Verizon Contact Transfer and sorting contacts

I used Verizon's Contact Transfer and it worked great. I've went into Settings : Mail,Contact,Calendars : Contacts Sort Order and Display Order and have set both to First,Last. Contacts are displaying by first name but are sorting by last name. I cannot get them to sort by last name.

Sorry....I cannot get them to Sort by First name

Contacts Display and Sort by Company Name

I have over 1000 contacts in Outlook which synced wonderfully with my new iPhone.
Alas, I need to lookup and sort by Company Name. This is a VERY standard method for contacts. The options presented by iphone are first and last name, sigh and tech support had no suggestions and the helpful tech support genttleman could find no 3rd party applications which could help.
Help!
I relly like my iPhone, but I need to be able to look up contacts and notes by company.
Thanks

I have noticed something useful when entering contacts directly into my iPhone. When entering a contact that I want shown in the list by the company name, I enter the company name first (without entering the "first name" and "last name") and save it. If you do it that way, the little square where the photo would be will change from the blank head to some buildings, and the contact will be listed by the company name. You can then go back and edit to add a first and last name and it will stay listed by company name.
However, if you enter the last name, first name, and company name all at the same time it will list the entry by the "last name" instead of by the company.
For example, if I want my son's doctor's office to display as "Arizona Pediatrics" instead of "Dr. John Smith" in the contact list, I would enter the Arizona Pediatrics first, save, and then go back in and add the Dr. John Smith in the last name, first name fields.
I need to check the manual to see if this is detailed, as I stumbled on it accidentaly, but it's pretty useful.

Bluetooth contact transfer and creating photo album

Ok, generally I am technical and can figure this stuff out quickly but have not been able to yet.
I have a need to transfer my entire contact list via bluetooth to my car. In my windows phone i could just choose select all contact then send via bluetooth. How is this accomplished in andoid?
I have transferred 3 directories of photos from my pc to the micro sd card in my phone. I am able to see them on the android photo app but they appear in a single album. How do you create albums in the photo app? Can't you specify that each subdirectory is a different album?
Why is android so user-hostile compared to windows phone?
HELP PLEASE.

Not all car stereos support this option, this is controlled by the bluetooth supported stacks in the device, usually as technology is upgraded older devices can not communicate on the profile because of the update... If I had to guess the update 2.3.4 OS us using a new bluetooth stacks that the stereo does not support so there isnt any way to get this to work simply..

The reason they are showing in the same directory is because you copied them into the same folder, you need to seperate the items into different folders to have them display in different directory..
Why is android so user-hostile compared to windows phone?
All OS has their own unique ways of handlings files and data and if you are accustom to using one platform everything different take some getting use to... Android hands data and file much better than a windows device would in my opinion..
Give it time to learn the OS and then you will come to like it better..
HELP PLEASE.
Hope this helped clarify things...

How to sync contact list and yahoo contact list and macbook pro address book without mobile me

How does one merge the contents of my verizon iphone contact list and my macbook address book and my yahoo contact list and have ongoing syncing without mobile me? thanks

THANK YOU! I have been using companion link up until you posted this. This makes it so much easier to keep my business contacts on my phone. Much faster too! I use the Exchange Server so I'm hoping by doing this, my contacts will be synced via wireless. I'll let you know if it works. Thanks again for the great post.

How to sync up apple contact book and exchange contacts

I have a bunch of contacts in my Apple Contact book but am using Outlook for Mac 2011 for email, contact management, and calendar. I have read that you have to sync your Apple contact book to your exchange account rather than directly to the Outlook for Mac 2011 programs so you don't create duplicates (contacts coming from the Apple address book AND the Exchange server). However, I can't find anything that tells me how to sync the Apple Contacts with my Exchange account. I figure at that point once synced, my exchange account will push the new contacts from the Apple Contact book back into Outlook for Mac 2011 making everything whole.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

itsamacthing,
Thanks for the quick response. I do have the exchange service added and am only bringing the contacts down from the exchange side into the Contacts portion (not syncing mail, calendar, etc). It has seemed to create two different "sections' in the Apple Contacts Address book (Please see screenshot). I was hoping to somehow merge/sync these two so I am always working out of one directory. When I create a contact in my Outlook for Mac 2011 it dumps it in the "Exchange" section and up to my Exchange server. However, when I create one on my iphone and sync the phone with this system via usb cable, it puts all new contacts created in the "On My Mac" section thus not moving it to my Exchange or Outlook for Mac 2011 causing new contacts to only sync with different sections based on where they were created.
(As a side note, I have to sync via the firewire cable due to having over 10,000 contacts. There was an issue with the previous release of IOS that caused massive problems with syncing over the air with that many contacts. I've never fully recovered and have not had the hard to do over the air syncing again, hence the tethered sync).
If there is anything I can do to get this rolled into one Address book that syncs from phone all the way through to Exchange server, I would appreciate any additional direction. I've also included a second screen shot to show the difference between the Exchange contacts total (10,660) and the All on my Mac contacts total (10,774). Ideally they would both say 10,774.
Thank you again.

Sync Outlook Contact List and AOL Contact List

I have several Outlook Accounts and an AOL Account. I would like to combine my calendar and contact lists into a single one. When I sync my phone, will the sync process allow mw to do that? If so, how?

The iPhone supports syncing contact info and calendar events direct via the iTunes sync process with Outlook 2003 or 2007. It doesn't matter how many email accounts you are accessing with Outlook.
The iPhone's mail client supports accessing POP or IMAP accounts, and can access an Exchange account via ActiveSync, which Apple licensed from Microsoft for the iPhone's mail client.
You can access an AOL account as an IMAP account with the iPhone's mail client, which includes an AOL account preset that creates the account as an IMAP account.
If your AOL contact list is not available in your Outlook contact list, you needs to do so since the iPhone does not support syncing contact info with the AOL program's address book.

Whenever I open iCloud it "checks" Contact automatically and I don't want it to store Contacts.

Whenever I open iCloud it "checks" Contact automatically and uploads Contacts and I don't want it to. How do I get it to open with no selections?
Regards, Jim Easton

Go to System Preferences>iCloud and uncheck 'Contacts'. Note that since the contacts are kept on the server they will disappear from your Mac, so you will need to download them. So you need to follow the following procedure:
1. Go to icloud.com, the contacts page. Select the top contact, then shift click on the bottom contact to select all. Click the cogwheel icon and choose 'Export vCard'. Save this on the Desktop.
2. Go to System Preferences>iCloud and uncheck 'Contacts'. Your contacts will disappear from your Mac (but not from the server).
3. Go to Contacts on your Mac and choose 'Import' from the file menu. Select the vCard file you exported from iCloud.

No contacts appear in icloud contacts

I open up icloud.com on my Windows computer and sign into icloud. Press on the contacts icon and no contacts appear. why?

I have find out something and want to share with you though I had no answer from anyone. If you backed up your information on iTunes (espacially contacts, other stuff may appear on your iphone, ipad anyway) you have to restore it from the computer you have backed up on. If you have a new one probably conacts will not sync.

If you lose your phone, will your unread messages, missed calls and contacts transfer

I don't know why it's such a hard question to find the answer to, but I can't figure it out. If you've lost your phone, when you get your number put on a new phone, will the:
Contacts transfer?
Will you have your un-read messages?
Will you see your missed calls?
Will you have your voicemails?
Please, someone help me out here

Will you have your un-read messages? As long as they had not been delivered to your phone yet(for texts). If they had been delivered to your phone but you just hadn't read them, then no. For emails, as long as they have not been deleted from the server.
Will you see your missed calls? Don't really think so.
Will you have your voicemails? Depends on what kind of phone you had and will have. For example an iPhone utilizes a different voicemail system than any other phone(of course it does, its an Apple product) and voicemails will not transfer to/from an iPhone to any other type of device. Any other phone, they should.
Please, someone help me out here
Edit: Verizon only tries to deliver text messages for 5 days. If you have not had a phone active on your line for more than that length of time, you will start to lose some of your "un-read" messages.

Your content will only be where you put it. It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Device>Transfer purchases.
You can import your pics taken with the iphone as you would with any digital camera.
You can e-mail the other pics to yourself, they will never be of the original quality.
You can out a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. You should get the option to merge the data when you sync.

Hi, I have an old iphone 3 and for Xmas received an iphone 5. I have 2 apple ID accounts, one on each phone, for me to be able to transfer messages, fotos, contacts etc from the iphone 3 to 5 do I have to be using the same Apple ID account? Many thanks.

hi everyone, first time using this forum!

You should only use one Apple ID for both phones. All apps that you bought for your 3 are linked forever to the Apple ID used to buy them. If you set up your iPhone 5 as a new phone, rather than restoring from a backup of the 3, you will lose the messages, but you can sync to get the pix, contacts and music. It is safer to do it as a new phone, because sometimes restoring a backup from an earlier version of the phone can cause problems in the new phone (as told to me by an Apple store "genius" two days ago.)

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If you can't do this on a computer, which would be much easier using drag and drop, then you will need to share the contacts with yourself in order to move them to the iCloud account.

Phone shows duplicate and wrongly sorted contact e...

Have synched my 6303 Classic with my contacts in Outlook 2003 SP3 on XP
Nokia communication centre (from PC suite 7.1.30.9) looks perfect - my contact list is fine and sorted by first name, last name
Unfortunately my phone is sorted last name, first name and (worse) is showing double entries thus
Bloggs, Fred and
Bloggs; Fred/M
Can I change this on the phone?
P.S. I use subfolders within my Outlook contacts, and also copy the contents up to the top level as I also have a Palm which only looks at the top level. I had assumed this was the cause of the duplicate entries on my phone, but if this is the case how come communication centre gets it right?
Solved!

Hi tolgan,
Atleast in S60 5th edition phones have the following options
In phone Contacts > Options > Settings > Contact to display
1) Phone memory
2) SIM memory
3) Service numbers
Check boxed will be there in front of all these options, you can select/deselect. If you select both phone and sim memory, and if the same contacts are present on both these memories, it will duplicated on the Contacts of the phone, but an icon will be displayed before those contacts on the phone to show SIM contact/phone contact. If its a sim contact, an icon of SIM will be displayed before that SIM contact.
One way is to cumulate all those contacts either in Phone memory or in SIM memory and select only the required option where all the contacts are stored, its one time manual work but it will avoid some confusions. Once you cumulate all the contacts in SIM memory, it would suggest you to copy those contacts to phone memory and select phone memory as your primary contact, so that those contacts can be backup-ed while backuping your phone using Content copier of Nokia PC Suite/Nokia OVI SUite, because as of now, Content copier will backup only phone memory alone, it wont backup SIM memory contacts.

HT2486 HOw do I transfer contact numbers and email address from my Mac to my new iphone?

How do I transfer contact numbers and email address from my Mac to my new iphone?

Connect your iPhone 4S to your Mac using the iPhone’s USB cable, and then use iTunes to transfer your contacts from to the iPhone. (An alternate way is to use iCloud.)
I’m not sure what you mean by “transferring email address” from the Mac to the iPhone. But if you mean you want to access your email from the Mac and the iPhone, the best way is to configure your email account over IMAP in Mail on both devices.
