Q: Can't edit Contacts any Help? (iPhone

i'm having the same issue.  Any update on how to do it??  Cant delete or edit contacts??

Ditto. I also can not add any contacts!

Same problem again. :-(

I have the same issue. After updating iPhone 4 to IOS5 I can no longer edit or add contacts.

Nor can I :/ My calendar doesn't work either...I can't add anything

I just had that happen to me, but after massive amounts of googling, scanning other forums, and fiddling with my phone, I think I found the solution (!!)

Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > iCloud/ or whatever email account you have (I used iCloud) > Turn on Contacts and Calendars (don't worry if it merges) > TADA. It should work (well, it worked for me anyways). Once you got it working, you can go back and de-toggle Contacts and Calendars.

Hope this helps!

Same problem here. iPhone 4S will not add or edit contacts. I transferred the data from my 3GS backup, if that makes any difference.

This worked!  Awesome. Thanks.

If u turn the contacts option on in settings, iCloud, it brings back the edit/add option :-)

You can the turn it off again with no ill effects.

It worked!  Thanks!

YEs - same problem. I initialized phone by restoring back up from my old 3g iphone (so i could transfer contacts/calendar etc). Then i renamed my phone, backed up the new name and data. now I have restored to oringal settings, and then restored backup - no change. still can't add contacts. HELP???

Oh you legend. Worked!!

Thanks!

It never showed the solution above when I left my post, honest guv!  

THANKS!! Finally I have a fully functioning device once more
