Why are my contacts under the group Professional?

My contacts have always been disappearing whenever I'd restore my phone/iPad, and I never knew why until a few days ago. It turns out that ever since I've been making contacts from who knows how long ago- my contacts have been saved under a group called "Professional."
I don't know what that group would be other than my email that I labeled Professional. Which, I don't understand why my contacts would be saved on that account, I only use it for email and never told my contacts to save to it. Also, I can't find any way to switch it to iCloud or even my sim cars. It's really annoying because I am often switching to a different iPhone or fresh restore and it stinks having my contacts unorganized. It's a mess.
So anyway, I'm wondering how do I move the contacts from Professional to iCloud. I'd like to organize my contacts as much as possible and right now it's just the super opposite. There's Facebook causing duplicate contacts and it makes everything complicated- but that's a different story.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hello Bobbert1yBobby
If the contacts are on your iPhone and they are separated out with on your iPhone and then iCloud, then all you need to do is turn off iCloud contact syncing. It will ask to delete or keep the data; you will want to keep the data. After that then turn the syncing back on and it will merge everything to iCloud for contact syncing. If you are using Exchange to sync the other contacts, then they are kept separate. Check out the second article for more info on that and resolving duplicates if there are any.

Contacts Issue - Several Contacts are now sorted under the '#' sign

I had an iPhone (original) and recently upgraded to the 3G version. When I completed my first sync, the first thing I wanted to do was call my buddy to tell him I had completed activation. I couldn't find his name in my contact list. I looked and looked, and couldn't find him. Using the new contact search, though, returned his name. Weird right? Well then I realized that at the very bottom, under the '#' in the Alpha Sort-Scroller on the right, was about 150 of my 250 contacts.
Why are these contacts sorted this way? They were not sorted this way on my old iPhone.
Any help would be appreciated!

I was able to fix this by doing the following:
* Export my whole address book as vCards
* Quit Address Book
* Move/delete the folder "~/Library/Application Support/Address Book"
* Restart Address Book
* Import the vCards
* Resync iPhone
Hope this helps!

Why is there space under the copyright bar on the contact page?

why is there space under the copyright bar on the contact page? all the other pages in the site fit flush at the bottom except on the contact and coaching page. does anyone know why? thanks

What I'm saying is that the footer will always follow the content above it. On short pages, footer may not align with bottom of browser viewport because the page content above isn't long enough to fill the screen. Since everyone uses different display sizes, this is perfectly normal behavior and shouldn't be a major concern.

Why are my contacts in icloud different to those on my iphone?

Why are my contacts only partially downloaded to icloud and also in a different format? I want them to be exactly the same as on my iphone 4.

Welcome to the Apple Community Rob.
Please try the following…
    1.    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    2.    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    3.    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

User can see the subject are but nothing under the subject area.

Hi
I have OBIEE 11g.
I was thinking this is a very simple case where I have one subject area for which I want to create a user such that it can create analysis and reports on that subject area.
I BIAdmin can do that currently.
So I created a new user in console. Under the 'Groups' tab of this user, I choose 'BIAuthors' from the 'Parents Group Available'.
Then I logged in as this user. User was able to see the subject area but only the header. When it clicks on the expand ( + icon in tree) it expands to nothing.
So i logged into the rpd and Under Identity -Manage , and open the properties for BIAuthor. and under Permissions , I gave BIAuthor the permission to the subject area.
That did not help.
I also opened the subject area from the presentation layer and under permission I made sure that "Everone" has Read access.
But even after a bounce the user just sees the header and it expands to nothing,
Any suggestion.
(I was also thinking that why do I see BIAuthors in weblogic where as BIAuthor in rpd (without s ). I was thinking the rpd BIAuthor is something from 10g version.
Thanks for all the help.

Hi,
Better to decline the subfolder permissions from the user @answers,then user can only see the subject area but he can't access the subfolders...
mark if helpful/correct...
thanks,

Why are my contacts that i am now saving, saving as unified contacts?

I saved a contact in my phone and only the name and number, but when i went back in to view the contact its showing as unified info, and i didnt put all the info listed under that contact in i.e. Twitter account, facebook, address, etc. why are my contacts now being saved that way and how come peoples full names, or facebook names showing up in the text if they are not even saved into my contact list?

This is being caused by using the same Apple ID for iMessage. To fix this you have two choices:
On all but one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. Note: you can still share the same ID for purchasing in Settings>iTunes & App Stores; or
On all of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at".

Why are my contacts not backing up to iCloud?

My iPhone shows I have 1676 contacts but my iCloud shows i only have 382. Why are my contacts not backing up to iCloud?

On your phone, how many of your contacts are in the On My Phone group, or any other group that is not iCloud, and how many are in the iCloud group (382?)

Not the same thing, don't confuse a backup of your phone with an iCloud data account. Backup is a separate function.

Why are my contacts doubling up on my macbook and my calender doubling up on my iphone?

Why are my contacts doubling up on my macbook pro and my calender doubling up on my iphone?

Solarbiz,
I have the same issue. No certain sense as to why it happened although it seemed to start after I was on the road and turned my iphone into airplane mode and went one step further and turned off a bunch of other services to ensure I was not hit with a big roaming bill. I don't know but I suspect that turning those services back on may have been part of the reason.
I have found that in the case of my calendar, going to icloud.com allowed me to delete the duplcated calendars rather than having to try and clean up specific enteries.
I am still looking for a solution for my contacts however. On icloud.com I can delete duplicated groups, however the master list still shows duplicates for every entry. When I am on my Mac I can filter "out" the icloud data and be left with a single set of my contacts. It seems however that no matter what I do the syncing services thinks that I should have two of everything.
BTW - using the find duplicates does not work.
I hope someone else can chime in with a more complete solution. It is very strange as all worked well for a few months.

Why would it state under the "more about this mac" that i already have10.8.3 and then in the app store say i need to "resume" do you know what i mean? is it possible i already did download mountain lion entirely once? I am confused and don't want it twice

This is cause by the way the App Store checks to see if an application is installed on your system.
Basically when an app is installed it is in the Applications folder and this is where the MAS looks for them. So it looks at your purchase history for the apps you bought and looks in the Applications folder to see if they are installed. If an app is in your purchase history but not in the Applications folder the MAS says you need to install it.
For normal apps this works fine but the OS doesn;t install into the Applications folder. So the MAS sees you have Mountain Lion in your purchase history but it's not in the Applications folder and so it says you need to download it.
Hopefully one of these days Apple wil fix this.

Why are my contacts and calendars showing up on my daughter's iphone after I updated? Help!

Why are my contacts and calendar showing up on my daughter's iphone after I updated? Is there anyway to remove them or stop
them from going directly to her phone? Help!!!! Thanks guys

So, am I to conclude from all this that the best thing for one iMac and multiple family devices (2 x iphones, 1 x itouch, 2 x ipods) is to set up itunes account for each family member. We don't use iCloud except for my (primary iphone)
We had similar problems to the above, and since the recent 6.0.1 update we've started getting each others texts, on top of my wife and I's contacts being replicated to our young son's itouch, and a seemingly random redistribution of apps.

Why are my Contact listed on my IOS 7.1.2 iPhone 4S in My Contacts as many as 6 times?

Why are my Contact listed on my IOS 7.1.2 iPhone 4S in My Contacts as many as 6 times?

If your settings are correct then the issue maybe with the recipient phone especially if both of your phone sends those pics as green/mms instead as imessage.

Why are my contacts showing numbers and not names

Why are my contacts showing numbers and not names?

When you added your contact details in the contact app did you fill in the fields correctly. For example in contacts where it says "first" did you enter a number instead of a name?

I had the same thing happen to me. It's a bug in iPhoto 9.4.2.
The first time you run iPhoto after upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2, it "updates the iPhoto library". This sometimes tickles a bug where iTunes can see all your iPhoto albums, but iTunes thinks they are empty. Since iTunes thinks all your albums are empty, it dutifully deletes any photos from your synced iOS devices.
It's easy to tell if this is the problem you are seeing. Open iTunes and go to the photos sync panel for one of your iOS devices. If you have multiple albums checked, but iTunes shows a total of 0 photos, then you have the problem.
I spent an hour with an Apple Genius. he couldn't find any mention of this problem in their internal support system. His recomendation was to reinstall the operating the system. I suspect that this won't solve it.
The only solution I have found is to restore iPhoto 9.4.1 and the corresponding iPhoto library from your backups.
I would refrain from upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2 until Apple has a fix for this issue.
