Why do I have to browse all my email contact in the phone app?

When browsing for a phone number in my contact list from the phone app, why do I have to browse through the 100's of contacts for which I just have an email address with no phone number?
Thanks

You can browse for the name, or you can use the search feature available at the top of the contact list. To move to the top of the contact list and the search feature, select the status bar to go directly to the top of the list and the search option.

Why do I have to enter all security info to download a free app AFTER I enter my ID?

Downloadinf a FREE equalizer app and enter my Apple ID. The icon appears on my screen, then I'm "told" I have to enter all of my security info for the download to actually occur.
TextFree assigns me a phone number just by downloading the app; why would a free music EQ require all of my info?

Ok I can understand the reason for additional security but the questions!!!!! When was I first kissed, which is my least favoutie car, what was the first album I owned. I have no idea yet I'm required to enter answers for storage and recall later.
I suppose people are sad enough to remember all this - my password app is bulging already
Why not allow people to add their own questions from their associated Mac
Yes i can put fictitious answers on the iphone but i'm less likely to remember these

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.

Hi all! Been given my bosses old iphone as a work phone. Need to keep his contacts on the phone and update my own(from previous non iphone phone). Ideas and Help PLEASE??

Hi all, I have recently been given a new work iphone. It was my bosses. He wants me to keep all his old contacts already on the iphone. However I will also need my old contacts from my own old phone(not iphone). I was wondering how I go about this?
This will be my first experience with iphones and so I know very little about them, however I am worried about itunes libraries. If I try to update my iphone software etc using itunes will I lose all my bosses contacts from the phone since I will obviously be using a new itunes library that is not his!
Sorry for the confusing nature of the this post. But any ideas, input or help will be greatly appreciately!

You'll need to restore your phone from the latest backup you made before he synced his phone.
To check if there is still a backup you can use, do this:
Open iTunes Preferences:
Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
Mac: Choose iTunes > Preferences.
Click Devices (the iOS device doesn't need to be connected).
iTunes will show the phone number, IMEI, and serial number of the backed up iPhone when you position your mouse pointer over a backup (iTunes shows only the serial number for iPad and iPod touch). You can use this to find the backup you want to use.
Then restore from that backup by following this article:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
Do the same with his device after that, using his old backup.
If you can't find one, set it up as new device without using any backup.

You don't have to post the same question at one minute intervals. Somebody will answer it, but perhaps not in 60 seconds.

Hello Jesslb23,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps first
Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you have registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you have selected iMessage for use. Learn more about troubleshooting iMessage registration if the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use.
Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. Learn more about troubleshootingcellular data or a Wi-Fi connection if a data connection isn't available.
iMessage over cellular data might not be available while on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn more about which network your phone supports. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while on a call if your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls.
Restart your device.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
If you are still unable to send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
Verify that the contact you are attempting to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact in the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
Back up and restore your device as new.
Best of luck,
Mario

I have accidentally deleted all my email inbox! Can it be retrieved?

I have accidentally deleted all my email inbox! Can it be retrieved?

Unless you stop using your computer immediately and purchase file recovery software, the answer is 'No'. It's a deliberate process to delete all your email, so that makes me wonder why you were messing around with it, or not paying attention to what you were doing.
This is exactly type of situation where you need to have a bootable backup of your entire hard drive.

I have an iphone 3gs. I have 7 separate email accounts on the phone. Everytime I update, it reloads all of the emails as new unread emails. Is there any way to either delete all or alternatively stop it from reloading all prior emails?

I can click each one, move them to trash and then delete all. However, I am wondering whether there is any way to either (a) delete all from the inbox or (b) stop them from reloading?

Hello Kizzyk,
I would start with taking a look at the settings to make sure that you are able to send and receive messages. If everything looks good then the next step would be to remove the accounts and add them back in. Take a look at the article below for more information and details on how to troubleshoot your issue further.

I have an I pad2, an iMac desktop and an I phone 5, how do I get them all to be bale to face time with each other, do I need different email addresses, use the phone number, or the sim number in the iPad ? Ay help gratefully received !!

Graham,
For the iPad, iMac you need to create verifyible e-mail addresses created with one of the providers such as Yahoo, Gmail,etc. For the iphone you should use it's phone number, but an e-mail could be used for it too. If you want to associate these e-mail addresses with a single ID, I'm including a link to give you info about how you can do that. Read it carefully, as it can be a bit confusing.

HT4623 I recently updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 6.1 and lost all of my contacts. My phone was less than 30 days old and I did not have an account with iCloud prior to the back-up. Any way to restore my contacts or are they lost forever?

I have the exact same problem. I did the update on my iPhone 5 yesterday, opted for the iCloud set up in the update and then it wiped my contacts. They are not on my phone or in the cloud...

Ok, I had a glitch, forced to restart, and lost my train of thought.
Reinstalling iTunes should fix the major issue that might have gone wrong, perhaps your explaination points will disappear and everything will be peachy again.
But if they don't, you can open the XML file in iTunes Folder using a Text edit program to see what the common pathname is to the iTunes Music folder or where your content is located.
If you moved the itunes folder, it needs to go back.
I can't download iTunes to my Vista virtual machine to test it out right now because iTunes is down, so I can't verify the pathname, perhaps your issue and the iTunes being down are related somehow?
You don't want to import all your music again, but it's a option, but you lose all your playlists, that's what I'm trying to recover.
If oyu don't have a whole lot of playlists, then simply select all the explaimation point music and delete, select File from the menu and import your itunes folder again.

I have a G5 iMac. The browser and other apps were deleted by mistake. If I had a working browser I think I could recoverss the other apps I need. Question is .... Where to start without a browser?

Anyone else getting a message that they have almost used all of their data for the month?

We just got a message saying that we have used 90% of our data for the month and we are only 10 days into the billing cycle. I looked at our account on line and it says that we aren't even close to using our total data for the month. When does all of the stupid stuff stop? When I switched to Verizon 10 years ago, they were great. Great customer service, great plans, etc. Now that has gone away. The 4G service is an absolute joke. Where I used to have great service, there literally is none, and the phone won't even switch to 3G if it is in a bad area. I travel through a major city every day and I am amazed at how crappy the service is.
Now I'm getting messages that aren't even correct??? I have a lot of lines on my account and I don't want to go elsewhere, especially since I live in the country and Verizon is the only way to get decent internet service, but this is getting rediculous. I guess listening to the customers doesn't matter anymore as long as they get their money.

Hi GeoffPrice
I'm sorry to hear your getting alerts that are incorrect. Let's get to the bottom of this. What zip code are you in? Are any other devices having the same issue on your account?

Do you see two versions of iMovie in your Application folder?
You can drag the icons out of the dock and then drag what you want back to the dock from the Application folder.
