RE: Cannot edit text field in contact cards
Hi Anita, This is a known bug and has been mentioned a few times since the release of iOS 7. You can actually delete what is in the text box, but you can't move the cursor until this is fixed. If you double tap in the edit field I think Voiceover only says Insertion point at start, but you can just try to double tap and hold delete, then swipe out of and back to the field. If the name is still there you were probably at the beginning of the text, just double tap again and delete again, I was able to successfully delete and rewrite a name. Probably a good idea to write to Apple Accessibility about this, i.e. to also write to them since I am sure quite a few by now probably have.

I recently created another contact card. After noticing VoiceOver added jibberish, I clicked on the edit button and attempted to make the correction. To my surprise, I was not permitted to make any corrections, although the text field was editing. I then had a sighted person try to make the correction. The cursor wouldn't move and there were no clicking sounds as we swiped a finger. The text box just would not edit! I ended up deleting the contact card and starting over. Anyone run into this issue, if so, any work around, when this occurs? This is the second occurrence. Could it be an IOS 7 bug? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Re: Cannot edit text field in contact cards
Hi, This bug was introduced in IOS 7.0. I've tried to find a workaround for it but couldn't do anything but clear out the field in question and re-enter the information. It's a major annoyance. Definitely write to accessibil...@apple.com about this, and encourage anyone you know who experiences this to do likewise. If enough people do, maybe Apple will take cqare of it. You will very likely get an e-mail back from them which is of the standard form letter variety: yes, we're aware of it and are looking into it and bla bla bla, but at least your e-mail will be acknowledged.

RE: Cannot edit text field in contact cards
I consider this bug a very minor annoyance because there really are not vbery many occasions when one has to actually Edit a contacts name. For me once a contact is in my list it's in and there really isn't much of a reason to change the name unless somebody's name actually changes. I use Office 365 for my business Contacts (that is hosted Exchange) and I use Outlook.com for my personal contacts. I sync both with Outlook on my laptop and a number of desktops at my store, so if I really need to make changes it's in any case much quicker to do it in Outlook, then it automatically syncs to my iPhone without me doing anything. I did, of course, report this inability to edit a contacts name properly to Apple Accessibility and it would be my guess that this will be fixed soon.
