Why aren't new contacts being added from incoming texts and/or recent calls loading in main Contacts?

Everytime I get a text and I click the "Info" button and then "add new contact"... There name appears at the top of the screen and in the caller id/text message screen, however when I go to contacts the new addition isn't loading up.
Then when I went to Groups and to "Show ALL Contacts" I can see the new additions. However I also see EVER SINGLE email address listed seperately from my Yahoo account. I am so confused. Is there a way to get the new contacts added to display in my contacts list, without it also displaing my Yahoo email contacts?!??!

When you add new contact you are adding the contact to your default contacts account. Your default contact account is set in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Contacts > Default Account. If this account is checked in the Contacts app Groups view, you will see the new contacts in the Contacts app. Otherwise not.
I suspect your problem is that your default contact account is not set to the account you think it is.

Why wont my new contacts save to my contacts list?

why wont my new contacts save to contact list?

Exactly what's happened to me... Did u manage to solve the problem?

I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago avaiable. Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore which i assume will literally delete any new contacts added...?

I recently updated my iPhone 4s to ios6, and lost 1200 odd contacts. I recently sold my macbook air and also my mac book pro, so have no recent backups avaiable. I have a backup from about 4-5 months ago available on an external hdd as a time machine backup. Can I add/update contacts from the back up rather than restore? The reason i wish to do this is because in the update i didnt lose any messages, so all of the people i have met and networked with since that last update those many months ago, i have in my messages listings. They are all unidentified numbers at present but over time i will be able to work through the messages and based on the conversation recall who each was with. Also, yesterday, some two weeks after the update had left my contacts list entirely empty... a vast majority just reappeard, though all of them are without any phone numbers, all just emails or facebook contacts. This is the work of facebook not mac/ios6 isnt it...? Any help here would be greatly apprecaited. I am about 2 days from flying to canada and having those contacts would make life a lot easier.

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

New contacts added on iphone don't make it to addy book or Mobile Me

Hey - Not sure if this is a Mobile Me or an iphone issue.
When I add a new contact by clicking the return address and selecting New Contact on an email I receive the new contact does not show up in my iphone's contact list, and even after synching my phone it does not show up in my imac's address book either.
But, if I start a new email and start typing the person's name, it will autocomplete with the address I just added.
If I then add the contact at home on my imac, and synch it into my phone I see it once in my phone's contact list. But, if I start a new email and start typing the name I will have both entries to choose from, if I entered them differently. One from the one I added on my phone and another from my imac. This is most noticable for my brother. The one I created on the phone just has his first name, but the one I created at home is under first and last name. So if I start typing his first name it will show the first name entry and the first and last name entry as if they're two different people. I do not see a first name only entry in either address book.
This behavior followed me from my iphone 3G to iphone 4 upgrade.
I am using Mobile Me and in itunes I have all the synching turned off and in the iphone's Account settings I have all the synching turned on.
Thanks!

This happened to me in a way on my new iPhone 4. I have many contacts on my phone and had them on other iPhones. My phone had been restored from my 3Gs back up when I got my iPhone 4. Someone texted me that wasn't in my contacts list and I clicked the option in SMS to add new contact. When I went to my contact list the name or number wasn't in there. However when I searched the name in spotlight it found it. I then synced to my computer and it didn't help. To fix it I just Spotlight searched, remembered the number and added it to my contact list straight up. I then had 2 results when searching spotlight and had to find out how to delete the one that wasn't exactly in my contact list and keep the one that showed up and now everything is fine.
However is there a fix for this so it doesn't happen again or an explanation to why.

Why does my new Iphone 4S sync without transferring calendar entry from phone to desktop using outlook?

Do you have Sync Calendars with Outlook selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?

Can't see new contacts added to iphone during sync

During my iphone sync i used to see a window that would pop up indicating any changes in the address book and any new contacts to add during the sync
then i would hit Sync Contatcs and it would add the new information to the address book and iphone and finish the sync.
Has anyone else been missing this feature , Is it due to the lastest IOS software update ? . is there somehting i am overlooking in preferences .

Butting multible batches on a CD is not the problem, and having full accsess is not the problem, Youa are able to read them on a pc because they are not as picky about the media that is used, Chances are the company is using a media that your Mac can not read.
Not all Mac drives can read all Media types.
and likewise not all PC's can read and write to all media types as well.
For the most part DVD-R and CD-R are the most widely compatible media's that almost all Computers can read and write to.
You will probably find that if they are in buisness doing this they probably have the latest technology and are using a media type that your Mac can not read.

Why does Apple update my apps without my permission

Last night I was syncing my iPhone. After syncing I noticed that many of my Apps had been updated!
I have several apps on my iPhone that I did not wish to update, and in typical Apple fashion is very difficult to go back to previous versions.
How can I prevent Apple from updating apps without my permission?

The only way to update apps is for the user to initiate an update. Are you syncing to iCloud? At a Mac/PC via USB or wifi? If by USB, you need to go to the update tab and choose individual apps or all those that need updating. So please tell us which method of syncing you are using. Maybe there is a setting that I'm not aware of that updates automatically when syncing.
For security reasons I do not use iCloud. I am syncing with a USB cable.
I tried to uncheck all of my apps. I received a warning that any/many apps that were not checked would be deleted.
I synced using iTunes. I didn't know there was any other way.
I am using a Mac with 10.6.8 (was using 10.7.2 but switched back.)

Why the App can automatically installed without my permission?

Why the Funshion Online Technologies App can automatically installed on my iPhone which without my permission?

What good does that link do? That web link tells you how to go back to version 3.6. I just want to go from version 9 back to 8.

WHY cant the new Droids transfer without disconnecting to my Apple desktop computer?

I have the Sony Xperia Z3V and have like one day to decide to return it. Nobody has been helpful. I cannot sync or link my new phone to my Apple desktop. I used to have an HTC Thunderbolt which was flawless and I was able to mount as a drive, view items on the phone before transferring over to my desktop. For this Sony I have NO option but to use that Android File Transfer but it keeps disconnecting on me using the USB connection - VERY frustrating!! It was ok the very first day I had it, but realized it just doesn’t work with Mac. Each day something odd happens to it. I am not into apps so I don’t use a lot of stuff besides basics. So I find the Sony Bridge app for Mac users. But that wouldn’t load because I had Mac OS 10.5.8 and it required Snow Leopard 10.6. So I upgrade to 10.6, an upgrade I didn’t want to make but nothing works without it anymore, and then software updates took it up to the slow 10.6.8 (which significantly slowed and ruined my productivity). I tried the new app and it doesn’t link with my phone at all. So again I contact Sony support and they were NOT helpful, saying that app works with their own Xperia Z3, not with Verizon’s version of it.
I had contacted Verizon and they tell me all that is available for Droid is the Android File Transfer and to contact Sony since they are considered last tier. Sony tells me Verizon developed the phone, so contact Verizon. I am sick of “support” shifting responsibility. 3x I have contacted Sony and have gotten RIDICULOUS suggestions like opening the USB door and restarting the phone, and trying a different USB slot on my MAC and even to install JAVA, which was already on my computer and has nothing to do with anything. I literally stayed quiet on my end knowing full well that these suggestions were absurd by “tech support” who knew nothing at all.
I need a simple function like the HTC Thunderbolt that had the ability to mount as a drive and I was able to view (before transfer) what I am seeing before transferring to my Mac desktop. It was SIMPLE. I was able to see my SD card contents and the internal contents. My SMS-to-Text showed up and that was it. On the new Droid phones, the SD portion doesn’t show up at all!! I am wondering if this is standard behavior for Droids now. I refuse to go iPhone as I do not like the functionality of it and HTC wont come out with a better phone til next year and who knows if it will give me problems with this lack of connectivity.
On the Sony, the naming convention in photos is poorly managed. It is not a good tool to transfer photos over to the desktop, delete them off the cell phone, as they are no longer needed and then when you start to re-shoot photos on the cell phone, it starts over on the naming convention and hence when you transfer files over to the computer, that file already exists and the computer will ask if you want to replace them but you cant because the image is different! (i.e.) If I shoot a photo and they name it #IMAGE_3, I transfer it on my computer and delete #IMAGE_3 off the cell, when I shoot with my cell again, it replaces the old #IMAGE_3 with the new image and hence when I take to my desktop, an #IMAGE_3 already exists with a different image, thus having to rename one of them manually. This recycling of naming convention is NOT efficient.
Bugs so far (a LOT showed up after one day):
Duplicate repeat photos, especially after viewing them, some triplets.
Duplicate text messages on receiver end on a HTC.
Random restart once.
Hit messages – get the settings button or something else. Had to get messages through notifications.
Sony Xperia Z3V does NOT work at night. During night mode and fireworks and any low light, it would focus, be clear and then when you click, it re-focuses and shoots the blurred image, over and over again – clear to shoot, re-thinks at the press of a button and shoots the blur.
Speakers are WEAK! Nothing like the awesome HTC or even the new Motorola Turbo.
The auto rotation was working great when it physically was turned over but not anymore. Does the Incipio Sony Xperia Z3V case have something to do with the triggering system on back?
What is the difference between viewing in “Photos” versus “Album” – “always” or “just once.” Which is best to use so I can stop this dialog box?
My Apple used to run Leopard 10.5.8 and I upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6 (which automatically self updated to 10.6.8) and now my computer runs sloooooow. I did all the “cleanup” necessary and its still slow. Trash takes forever to delete and even if I have 3 items in there, it claims I have over 1000. The only reason I upgraded to 10.6 was because nothing online was functioning for my “outdated” OS any longer. I cannot afford to keep up with technology.

New contacts added on phone don't show up on synced address book

I use iSync to sync contacts and calendars with my Sony Ericsson T610 phone over Bluetooth. Since upgrading to Leopard, I noticed that when I add a contact on my phone, the contact will never appear in the address book on my Mac. It works fine the other way around and calendar entries added on the phone will show up in iCal.
I've set iSync to sync all contacts. The iSync log doesn't show any errors, but also ever only shows entries like [Mac -> Phone] (for both contacts and calendar entries) and not the other way around, even if I add a calendar entry on the phone (which gets synced fine).
Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas?

It works now. Maybe it was the 10.5.2 update.

New contacts added to my iPhone don't upload to my Outlook Contacts

When I synch my iPhone to my Outlook, it downloads all info from my Outlook Calendar & Contacts to my iPhone, but won't upload info that I added to the iPhone to Outlook.
Please help!

I don't understand why no one has responded yet. I don't think this is a very difficult question. I'm starting to suspect that because we both use PC's that we are somehow black listed.

Why does a new contact created by a phone number from a mail not show up in my folder of "All contacts"?

I've tried this once before, where I got a text message from a person, whom I would like to add to my contacts.
Even though I tried it several times I did not succeed.
Has anyone an idea of why and how to solve this?
Best regards
Steen

Hi brennerp,
Thank you for contacting Mozilla support. I understand that you have imported bookmarks and now there are two unsorted bookmark folders.
There is one by defualt and there is the one you imported. To better understand how you imported the bookmarks, can you please provide the steps you took to do this?
Looking forward to your reply.

Why was the "new tab" button option removed from the "customize toolbar" set?

Back in 3.x and older I was able to place a "open new window" button, and an "open new tab" button on the bookmarks toolbar. This worked well for me. Now with 4, the "open new tab" is unavailable, and you can only open a new tab using the default button right next to your already open tabs.
Any chance of that open new tab button coming back? I'd rather use that (what I am used to) than the new one.
They're called options, stop removing them.

You can find the New Tab button showing as a '+' on the Tab bar.<br />
You can open the Customize window and drag the New Tab button from the Tab bar on another toolbar and it will become a regular toolbar button like the New Tab button that you have in Firefox 3 versions.<br />
If you want the New Tab button at the far right end of the Tab bar then place a flexible to the left of it.<br />
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"

Why was a new contact added without my permission?
