Why when I create contact on my iphone does iCloud add a 2nd unknown number?

I've had a few cases where I've added a new contact to my iphone and when I save it, iCloud adds in a second number that I've never seen before.  My contact now has 2 numbers; one linked to my iphone and the other linked to my icloud though I've never seen that icloud number nor input it.  Any ideas why and how I can stop this from happening?

its not possible to restore to a backup from a newer IOS

  • Why when i go to restore my iphone does itunes stop working?

    my phone went into recovery mode for some reason, and when i go to restore it on itunes it gets to "registering with apple" and then a message comes up saying itunes has stopped working. any ideas?

    Check for hardware issues
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.

    You must be running one of the versions shown in this graphic with the incompatibility sign on it:
    You will need to use the Apple ID and password used to purchase the Mac. If you continue to have problems contact the support personnel at the App Store thru this link:

  • Since the upgrade to IOS7, the default phone label when adding new contacts on my iPhone 5 is "Radio".  Previously the default was "Mobile" how can this be changed back to "Mobile"?

    Since the upgrade to IOS7, the default phone label when adding new contacts in my iPhone 5 is "Radio". Previously the default was "Mobile". It is a hassle as when my iPhone contacts are synched with Outlook via Exchange, the phone number I've entered on the iPhone doesn't show on the default Outlook view as it is a "Radio" number rather than a "Mobile", "Work", "Home", etc number. It is still stored both on the iPhone & in Outlook & I can still use the number to phone or SMS, it is just incorrectly labelled & hence the source of frustration.
    Apple please return the default to "Mobile" or alternatively find a way we can alter the default ourselves to "Mobile" or "Home" etc.

  • Why when i update my status via iphone 4s on facebook they appear that i updated it via mobile not via iphone .. whyyyyyyyyy

    why when i update my status via iphone 4s on facebook they appear that i updated it via mobile not via iphone .. whyyyyyyyyy

    From an older post...
    Facebook changed their mobile site so that it's the same for other mobile devices as it is iOS devices. The result is, if you post using the mobile website, it no longer labels what device you used, just that it was the mobile website.

    Hi evan191,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has some steps you can try if your messages aren't sending as iMessages:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
    If you still can't send or receive iMessages
    Ensure that iMessage is turned on in Settings > Messages.
    To send and receive iMessages, your device must have a valid cellular or Wi-Fi data connection.
    iPhone: Troubleshooting Cellular data
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    iMessage registration validates your Apple ID for use with iMessage. If you are unable to activate iMessage, follow this article.
    If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will be resent using SMS or MMS, depending on the content. You can turn this behavior on or off in Settings > Messages > Send As SMS. Carrier messaging rates may apply.
    Verify that the Apple ID or phone number is listed in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
    Cheers,
    - Ari

  • HT4863 Why when I open mail on my iPhone it automatically goes to iCloud instead of my mailboxes page?

    Why when I open mail on my iPhone it automatically goes to iCloud instead of my mailboxes page?

    Could that be the last page you were using?
    For me, it seems to go back wherever it was the last time it was closed, be it the mailboxes/accounts page, an account's mailbox list, a message chain list, or an individual message. I'm not aware of a setting that affects this.

    HOW CAN I SYNC ALL MY CONTACTS FROM MY IPHONE TO ICLOUD?

    Go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your Apple ID to create your account if you haven't already done so, turn Contacts on and choose Merge with iCloud when prompted.  If you are syncing contacts from an external account (Gmail, Yahoo, exchange, etc.) you will need to take additional steps to add them.  Let me know if that's the case.

    Why arent my recent contacts showing up on my icloud on my computer?

    Are they showing on icloud.com?  If not, check to be sure you are adding the contacts to the iCloud account and not a non-iCloud account, such as On My iPhone, Gmail, Yahoo or an exchange account.
