Why can't I add or edits contacts after upgrading to ios 5?

I just updated my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5 this past weekend. Today when I went to add a phone number from my Recent Calls to an existing contact, it let me get as far as the actual contact, but wouldn't let me save the change. I then went into Contacts directly and found that I could not add or edit contacts. Does anybody have any advice?

I turned off all the iCloud functions and got this problem. Only way to get rid of it was to go into iCloud settings and DELETE the iCloud account. Somehow turning of contacts in iCloud disables the add/edit contact function which must be a bug!

Why can't i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading it to ios 6?

why can't i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading it to ios 6?
It says,
''There is no sim card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate''
Thanks for your help in advance!

There are several common causes for this problem:
Your security software (Antivirus, firewall, router settings) is blocking access to gs.apple.com, Apple's activation servers. Try temporarily disabling your security applications on your computer.
You have a redirect in your hosts file that defines a different IP address for gs.apple.com. you must delete all references to gs.apple.com from your hosts file (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts, or /etc/hosts on a Mac)
Your phone is jailbroken or otherwise hacked.

Why can't I use word, excel etc after upgrading OS X lion ?

Why can´t I use word,excel etc after upgrading too OS X Lion ?

Office 2004 is a PowerPC app that requires Rosetta to run. Roseeta and thus all PPC aps are not supported on Lion. Further Office 2008's Installer is a PPC app. Office 2008 will run if installed before installing Lion, but you cannot install it from Original Office 2008 Media after installing Lion.

Why can't I open my numbers docs after upgrade to 3.0?

why can't I open my numbers docs after upgrade to 3.0? I have downloaded Maverick. I had the same problem with Pages at first. Is there any way to get my spreadsheets back? I'm nervous about upgrades anymore.

If you recently updated to Mavericks and updated the Numbers to 3.0 then it is likely you are trying to open a Numbers 3.0 file with Numbers 2.3.
Numbers 2.3 Numbers 3.0
Be sure you are careful about which version you are launching and using to open files. If you want to be able to open a file in Numbers 2.3 then you should continue using Numbers 2.3 (which is located in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09")
If you already opened a Numbers file in 3.0 and saved if but want to open in 2.3 you can export from Numbers 3.0 by using the menu item "File > Export To > Numbers '09..."

Why has Siri stopped working on iPhone 4 after upgrading to IOS 5?

Why has Siri stopped working on iPhone 4 after upgrading to IOS 5? I've tried the disable and reboot but continue to get the network error.

Apple has not been forthcoming on the explanation. My Siri worked on my iphone4 (not 4s) immediately after upgrading to IOS5, but I take it they have redirected the servers that used to support Siri to only work with Iphone4s.
It is one thing for apple to only bundle the improved Siri with IPhone 4S, or for them to remove Siri from the Ap store.
But it is another thing all together for apple to purchase a company, and then cease the service that many of us paid for.
Attempts to contact apple at apple store and via email have been unhelpful.

Hello pichastos,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot this issue where your camera is displaying a black screen, please follow the information outlined below.
You see a closed lens or black screen
If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping (camera swap icon). If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Take care,

Can't add/edit contact after upgrade to IOS5 - HELP!

After upgrading to ios 5, I can't add or edit the contact. The buttons are gone! How to get them back? I tried numerous restart also no use.

I was having issues with Calendar after updating to iOS 5.0.1 also. I finally was able to get Calendar functioning again by turning it OFF within Settings > iCloud. This action keeps all my calendars on my iPod. I also reverted to backing up my iPod Touch to my computer within iTunes, then restoring, and re-syncing after I made the changes. Now, I am able to add, edit, and delete events in my calendar just as I was able to do before updating to iOS 5.0.1. Restoring my iPod Touch only worked temporarily for me (before I change the settings), as the problem returned the very next time I attempted to add an event. This fix probably will not allow syncing with other Apple devices through iCloud, but it is less drastic than deleting my iCloud account.

Why does the ipad 2 speaker stopped working after upgrading to ios 8

WWhy does the iPad 2 speaker stopped working after upgrading to ios 8 why plz respond

Hi A_S85,
It appears your iPhone has an issue relating to sound. The following article may help you find a solution:
If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support
Can't hear anything from the built-in speaker of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch? Maybe you can hear, but the sound is distorted, muffled, intermittent. Or maybe you hear static or crackling noises. If your iOS device has any of these issues, follow these steps.
Follow these steps and test the sound after each one.
Go to Settings > Sounds and drag the Ringer And Alerts slider to turn the volume up.
If you can hear sound from the speaker, then the speaker works. Continue with these steps to find the setting or switch that's affecting the sound. If you can't hear sound from the speaker, contact Apple Support.
Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is set to ring. If you can see orange, it's set to silent.
Restart your device.
Open an app that has music or sound effects. Adjust the volume with the volume buttons or the slider in Control Center.
Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn off Bluetooth.
If there's still no sound, connect a headset. If you can hear sound through the headset, remove it and clear any dust or debris from the headset jack of your device.
If the device is in a case, make sure that the case doesn't block the speaker.
Use a brush to gently clear any debris from the speaker and Lightning connector (or 30-pin dock connector). The brush should be clean and dry and have soft bristles.
Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
If you followed these steps and still hear no sound or distorted sound, contact Apple Support.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

Problem with contacts after upgrading to iOS 7 (iphone 5)

After upgrading to iOS 7 (iphone 5), the contacts (loaded from icloud) in greek language aren't sorted!!! They are under the # symbol!! Anyone has a solution. I didnt have this problem with previous iOS versions!!!!

My phone was fine after I connected to iTunes. It appeared in recovery mode and then it downloaded the update, installed and all was fine.

Can't read PDF's in iBooks after upgrade to IOS 5

After upgrading to IOS 5 (and selecting no sync to avoid PDF's disappearing) I can't open any of my PDF's in iBooks. I can't see covers, and if I select any of them, they only change to a "selected color", but they never open. Please help.

I just opened iBooks for the first time since upgrading my iPad to iOS 5. At first, I saw all my PDFs, but the cover pages were rendered in generic text. Then... they suddenly disappeared. I had all sorts of important references, manuals, documents for a trip I'm about to take. All gone.
From what I'm reading here, it looks like I'm not getting them back easily. Even if I can use tools to extract them from a backup (now in iCloud, hmm...) I'll have to get them into another app, so I can use them. If I can't get them back from iCloud, and they're really gone from the iPad, I'm screwed.
So very un-Apple.
I'll submit a report to Apple. I hope they fix this, but I'm surprised that such a big bug got through.

I am missing some of my contacts after upgrading to iOS 6

I am missing some of my contacts in my iphone4 after upgrading to iOS 6. They are still in the memory but how to retrieve them.

What do you mean "they are still in the memory"? What memory?
Here's a test to perform - using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and go to the Contacts page. If they are gone, then they are gone (must have been a setting during the update to iOS6).
If they show up, then the problem is that your device is not connecting to the Contacts database on icloud.
On the device, go to Settings>icloud. Be sure icloud is on and using the right ID. If not, scroll to the bottom of the page and tap Delete Account - this just disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost. Then log back in using the correct ID. ALSO - be sure the Contacts are turned on (on the same screen).
Note: Contacts are not part of an iCloud backup, since they are part of contacts database on iCloud's servers.

Why can't I add a new contact from the phone app?

I am trying to add a new contact from a call I got this am. I get to the contact screen but I can add anything - ie no keyboard pops up to type anything in. I also can not use the copy function to copy the number into the contacts app.
This is TERRIBLE!! As a person who is on the phone for a living, I need to capture numbers as I get those calls!!
Has anyone found a solution to this problem with IOS 7?
I will probably go to the genius bar this afternoon....
Thanks

Try resetting your phone:
Hold the home button + the lock button for about 10-12 seconds until the Apple logo appears. You will not lose any data or current settings.
