With multiple contact lists, list title not correct

I have an original iPhone w/ 2.0 software, hooked up to my company's Exchange server. I created multiple contact folders on Exchange to categorize my contacts: Clients, Company, Friends, Family, etc.
The multiple folders show up just fine as Groups on the iPhone. The problem is that when I select one of the individual lists (e.g. Friends), the title on the list reverts to "All Contacts". The list still contains just Friends, but the title has changed.
Bug?

I noticed a lot of people read this question and judging by how many similar questions appear on this and other forums, it appears there is a lot of interest in this topic
I was finally able to resolve it by using a blackberry back up file (which contained all my contacts from the multiple address books on my device) and converting that data into outlook ready files. I had to use a third party tool to do this because you cannot directly import contacts to outlook from an .ipd file. I can provide the name of the tool if anyone wants but dont want it to look like I am spamming.
Once everything was in my desktop outlook it was easy to synch with my my device to get everything into the desktop address book and then delete the entries in the other addres books All a bit fiddly, a little bit time consuming but it got the job done.
Cheers.

I've a new account on iMac. When composing an email the contact list does not show up on the bar. WWhen I start keying in a name, it comes up with the address. How do I engage the contact list from the email?

I've a new account on iMac. When composing an email the contact list does not show up on the bar, which would allow me to select the persons I want to include on the distribution of the email. When I start keying in a name in the email, it comes up with the person's address, which shows it is synced. How do I engage the contact list from the email like I do on my old account (where a contact list icon shows up, along with the "attach" and other icons) ?

With the New Message window open, go to the View menu and select "Customize Toolbar...".
In the screen that opens, drag the item labelled "Address" into the Toolbar area of the New Message window, then click the "Done" button.
That item should be then added to the Toolbar for the New Message window.
Note that the main Mail window and the New Message window (as well as the separate message window if you open a message that way) use different toolbars - the settings/inclusions for one do not carry over to another.

My contact list does not always include a video icon so I can use FaceTime with wifi- how can i fix this

my contact list does not always include a video icon so I can FaceTime with a contact- how can I fix this?

Thanks so much for your reply but that won't help in my current situation. Maybe I didn't make it clear. The latest version of Quicktime as new as it sounds doesn't support screen recording on a powermac G5 Motorola chip with OS 10.5.8 which is the highest os I can go with that machine. If I can sync the two computers so I can get the application to record from my newer computer then I'm ok. I just don't have the recording application for audio that I'm using to demo for the website on the laptop as it's about 10,000 dollars. So, I have to use the older computer to do the audio presentation and try to get the newer computer synced to it so I can use the new version that works on snow leopard to record a screen shot that will hopefully appear on my laptop instead of the old machine. Hope that makes sense. It's a bit confusing but in a nutshell it's like this:
1. I am a Pro Tools Instructor which is the state of the art application and recording device for audio and movie scoring and I have a new job where I make small snippets of tips using Pro Tools which I'd like to record with quicktime on screen as they happen
2. the best version of Quicktime Pro available for the Power Mac, OS 10.5.8 will not do screen recording on it.
3. I can use the Quicktime application from my newer laptop but I need to sync it to the old machine
4. I'm hoping but I don't know, if I do this, that I can record Pro Tools in action from my new machine buy seeing it on this laptop screen and then recording it with the new quicktime.
5. If I can sync the two computers, I'm hoping this can happen but I can't use my ethernet connection as I have it used to connect to my recording console and can't afford to buy anything new like an ethernet hub yo connect the two so I'm hoping that there's another way to connect them.
I hope that makes sense and that possible you or someone else can help. Thanks so much! Scott

Artist list is not correct.

Artist list is not correct, U2 is in under V and R artists under S etc. I had this problem also in my contact list but this part is solved with 5.1
It starts direct with the A, Anouk is under B. And Bryan Adams under C and so on.
Do anyone now this problem?

On certain iPod models you can choose whether to display a Compilations section in the Main or Music menus. If neither of these are displayed then, regardless of the *Part of a Compilation* settings, all Artists will be displayed in the Artists menu.
The iPhone/iPod Touch do not have such menu options and no longer make use of the *Part of a compilation* flag but instead group albums on the *Album Artist* tag, however the Artists menu still lists all distinct values of the artist field. This can be annoying if, like me, you'd prefer to only have the principle Album Artists displayed and means that an album where there are some guests will not play through properly if selected via the Artist menu.
A (not very good) workaround for when you select an artist and get one track from a compilation album is to switch to landscape mode, touch the cover to flip the album over and then touch any other track to start playing the whole album.

My contact list does not show all my contacts.

My contact list does not show all my contacts. If I keypad a number not shown in the contacts it does know who that contact is. What can I do to show all contacts? I have 352 contacts in the phone.

Do you have different Groups for contacts? For example, perhaps you have some contacts stored on the device, some associated with a Yahoo account, and others associated with an Exchange account. If you have multiple groups like this, tap the "Groups" button at the top-left corner in Contacts and see if you're looking at only a subset of your contacts. There is an option to view "All Contacts", which summarizes them all for you.

Contacts issues - send contacts to at&t phone book or sim card? and un able to unsync email contact list with phone contact list

I have had several issues with my contacts on this phone. I cannot figure out how to send my contacts to the at&t phone book or to my sim card. The options/menu button in contacts is completely useless. It should give me the option on the sim card to transfer contacts form one list to another. I have already written on another forum about the contact list not letting me unsync one of my email contact lists and how I have 3 copies of all of my contacts because my email contacts are mixed in with my phone contacts.
BB really needs to fix this issue with the contact list because it is beyond frustrating. I even downloaded the new BB software today and it still hasn't been fixed.

OK...so this post is strictly about wanting to send your contacts to the SIM. That capability is one at a time only. And there's a reason for that.
The BB Address Book is robust, allowing you to have one name with multiple phone numbers and addresses. The SIM phonebook, on the other hand, is much less capable...if, for instance, you have one contact with three phone numbers in your BB Address Book, the SIM phonebook would require three separate entries to contain the same data (with the obvious duplication of the name on three separate records).
So, I must ask...why on earth do you want to send your contacts to your SIM? There are much better methods for moving your contacts from the BB to somewhere else...

Muse is NOT Working, Illustrator Update FAILS, Apps list is NOT Correct. What Do I Do?

I started having issues with CC a couple months ago out of no where. Mostly just with updates from CC for the apps.
I did the suggested re-installs of CC and then had to try to update by fully re-installing apps and I had funciontality but errors trying to update Illustrator and most of the installed apps did not show up in the CC interface.
Now I try to do a quick update to a site thru Muse and it tells me that it would not validate my subscription and would be canceled in 2 days.
I again followed instructions on Adobe to delete a couple of folders and try to re start Muse.
Now I get an unexpected error and cnont use the program.
I test out CC for updates and the Muse app shows up to date, Bridge app surprisingly updated fine, and as expected, once again, Illustrator errors out on the update and still my CC app list is not correct so I honestly dont know what updates I have to do on the other programs.
I checked my subscription details and everything is fine.
Not having the ability to update efficiently from CC is not a huge deal as long as I can use the programs to work. Not being abel to work because of some programing hiccup is NOT ACCEPTABLE.
Anybody have any possible paths to fix these latest issues?
Should I start by wiping the machine clean of any installs and then completely try to re-install everything?
what a pain.

UPDATE:
I got home tonight and tried to open up Muse.
This time it opened up the login screen and actually made it past the point it errored at previously.
Illustrator update stilll gives an Error 8.

Names from my contact list are not appearing when someone phones, when a receive a phone call

Names from my contact list are not appearing on the screen, when I receive a call

I'm not a Verizon user (I'm with Rogers, in Canada), so this obviously is not a Verizon issue. Would love to know why one second all my texts and calls had names associated with them, and then suddenly all the names were replaced by phone numbers.

Cannot forward email message. Contact list does not appear to select. Can reply to sender only

When trying to forward an email message, the contact list does not appear. It can
only be forwarded by entering addresses manually. I can return an email by replying
but I cannot forward under the Mozilla Fox server.
When I am in Internet Explorer I can utilize the email forward without a problem.
Contacted AT & T to see if it was their problem, since I use att.net.
The technician stated it was a problem with Mozilla because it was not compatible
with the AT & T net work. It could possibly be in recent updates, since I just
discovered the problem within the last week.
Would prefer to enter my email through Mozilla Fox. So can you solve this problem
for me.

HT5824 my contact list does not update to its current state. After I sync to Itunes or after I back up to I cloud Also I did a doccuments and data restore and it still didnt change. How do I fix this?

My contact list does not update to its current state after I sync it to itunes or back it up to icloud I did a documents and data reset and the contact list still didnt change.. How do I fix this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
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).
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.
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.

After installing the latest software from apple on my Iphone4, I have not been able to retrive my saved data in contact list and notes, evidently I did not create a back up to the system first? is there any solution to restore my system. technical support

how do I restore my system or my lost contact list and notes, that I lost when I upgraded with I tunes. technical support and store people where unable to help
I tried many solutions, but none seeemed to work, any genius suggestions?
I think this is a flow in the system when you can not do restore. which should be done automaticaly, we are not all computer savy?!

Go to iTunes menu, EDIT/PREFERENCES/DEVICES tab, do you see any Backup files with Date and Time? These are the backup file you have everytime you sync your device to your iTunes.
Now close the dialogue box, connect your device to your computer. In iTunes left Pane, your iPhone will appear under "Devices". Right mouse click yout iPhone and select Restore from backup, select the backup from Date and Time you can remember that has all the contacts and notes and proceed from there.

Since installation of 32.0, my contact list does not show in alphabetic order. Appears to be in date, then alpha by name. Why?

Currently running Version 32.0. Since this was installed, my Contact List is not displayed in alphabetical sequence. Instead the contact seem to be displayed by Activity date and/or time, then by name sequence. Example, I had a 25 contact list in jumbled sequence, when I changed a piece of dat and found the changed contact was now at the top of the list! I changed a contact which should appear above this on and it also went to the top of the list. In this manner, I got the entire list in order. I then saw an error on one and corrected that contact data. That then went to the top of the list!
If I can provide any other information, please let me know.

May I suggest reverting to a previous version and adopting a more conservative upgrades approach?
In Windows Thunderbird updates are automatic by default. To avoid similar situations in the future, you could change that and decide to have a more conservative approach to upgrades.
Before trying anything, [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_backing-up-a-profile make a backup of your current Thunderbird profile].
You can uninstall the current Thunderbird version via '''Control Panel > Programs and Features''' and reinstall a previous version, download it from here:
* [http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/31.0/ Version 31.0]
* [http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/24.8.0/ Version 24.8]
Click on the type for your OS. eg: If using Windows select 'win32' then select the language eg: en-GB = English british then download the .exe file
You can [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configuration-options-updates?esab=a&s=automatic+updates&r=1&as=s customize automatic updates behavior], however, it's under '''Tools > Options > Advanced > Update'''.
My suggestion would be to set it to '''Check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them.''', specially if you depend on email for critical / important business or personal matters.

You can use the Group function on your MBP.

Merging Sim card contact list from old phone with Outlook contact list

iPhone synched with Outlook Contacts during iTunes activation, subsequently transferred old phone contact list from SIM card to iPhone. I want to merge the two files, but synching operation tells me that transferred items will replace existing Outlook Contact list. Not what I want - - How can I merge the two files?

I don't use Windows but the following states that it will sync contacts with Outlook on Windows 8 via iCloud. You will need to go to Settings > iCloud on the phone at turn Contacts on and also download the iCoud control panel to your computer as described in http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html
