Nov 6, 2011 10:46 AM in response to Comalies25by tomfromwindermere,This happened on my father-in-law's iPhone. I haven't had a chance to try the suggestions yet but I wanted to mention that although the option to edit or add a contact was missing from the "Contacts" icon/app, it was available when I went to "Phone" and then to Contacts from within the "Phone" icon. Which I thought was strange.

Nov 7, 2011 7:52 PM in response to greenman83by Verosoto,i figured it out!!! after waiting almost an at the Apple store (even after making an appt) the guy tells me to just restore my entire phone....not knowing how long it would take to restore everything back ( a couple of hours) and that did nothing for me!!! I went into Settings> mail, contacts, calendars> accounts> ICloud....from there I deleted ICloud as one of my accounts because I dont use it since I dont have an Apple computer it does nothing for me. Well after doing that I went back to my contacts and the Edit tab finally came back!!! Good to know these Genius Bar people wasted around 3 hours of my time!!

Nov 17, 2011 9:16 PM in response to mwitrogby Leadfoot12000,Ok for all of u who are still stuck and nothing is working I think I have finally solved the base issue. For me it was an issue with my mail account and iCloud. I could add contacts and edit them but as soon as I went back to the main list any changes I made would disappear. I had turned iCloud on and off, deleted existing iCloud backups, turned contacts in and off in iCloud a zillion dam times and could not get rid off the problem. I was ready to throw the phone out the window an restore it but kept on playing and I solved it.
If you have multiple email accounts go into each one and turn contacts off.
As soon as I turned them off I could edit add delete etc... The one that was causing my problem was my yahoo.com account. After u can edit again u can turn them back on.
Hope this helps!!!!

Nov 19, 2011 8:02 AM in response to Comalies25by tory_789,I have the same problem...updated it a few weeks ago and now its starting to do my head in that I can't add/edit my contacts. I've tried doing what you suggested but every time I try and turn contacts on in icloud, the merge with pc comes up and when I click on it it just disappears back to the homescreen. I can't get into mail, calendars and contacts in settings either and I've restored it, re-set it etc. Anyone know what I can do?

Nov 22, 2011 1:15 PM in response to christyyhby EpicQ-Hunt3R,Dude it solution made everyone's day but me:p. you said when u turn it on don't worry about the "Merge" thin ... Well here what I've done : Home screen>setting>iCloud>celendar and mail are successfully on , but here comes the problem the contacts...I can't turn'em on each time I try to turn it on they ask me to merge and with a message that says:"the contact you previously synced with your pc will be merged with iCloud" and ofcourse I clicked on merge but then it crashed before the merge even started so basically the setting were not saved as contact -ON. And it crashes too when I try to acces Mail,contacts,celendar at setting... Please help?? Sorry if I wrote so much incorrect things I'm writing this on my iPhone :)
