Contacts state showing incorrect

A lot of my contacts state show that they are online or busy or DND, For example one of my friends on Skype has gone on holiday to NYC, so there is no chance that they could be online, when somebody else happens to want to speak to me over skype (I know they're online) it will show me that theyr're offline and when I try to call, it simply does not work, just get the "Busy" message or that there is no answer and the call didn't even go through.
Any help appreciated.

I had the same problem after returning from a trip to India and have tried everything to fix it. (I thought!) I just came back from the Genius Bar at the Vancouver Apple store and Alan figured it out in about 5 minutes. So simple! Go to Settings> General> Reset (at the bottom)> Reset All Settings. This restores your default settings and does not affect your data. You will have to reset desktop picture, wifi etc. but your phone numbers should be back to the proper format. I lived with it for two years but all better now! Genius indeed!

  • Im having problems with contacts on my iPad. One of my contacts names shows up when I choose any one of 36 contacts. the email goes to the correct email address that I've chosen but the incorrect name shows up in the To: area of the email

    I'm having problems with contacts on my iPad. One of my contacts names shows up when I choose any one of 36 contacts. the email goes to the correct email address that I've chosen but the incorrect name shows up in the To: area of the email. Has anyone else experienced this...if so I hope there is a fix

    Hello there erika274,
    It sounds like no matter what contact you put into the 'To' field, a different name appears, but the email makes it to the intended recipient. I would recommend a few things here. First, close all the open apps on the device:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the phone:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • From line on emails shows incorrectly

    i belong to a group where i must send an email to the entire group at once, because it is a group mail it will also come to my inbox. the problem is the "from" line shows someone else's email, when i send the same email from my other email client the "from" line shows my email as it should... i have screenshots of both clients... the thunderbird one shows incorrectly. i have contacted the group owner and my emails are not moderated and my email shows as sender on her end.
    why is my thunderbird showing the incorrect email in the "from" line... it is a valid email but it is not mine
    is there a way for me to post screenshots to explain better?

    lets test that shall we.
    Tools menu > options > Advanced > Reading and display and uncheck the "Show only display name for people in my address book" restart Thunderbird
    Does that fix the display issue?

  • Logviewer 1.14 showing incorrect times, and other issues.

    Couple of issues with running LogViewer, wondering if anyone can help.
    First, and seems to be the most frustrating, is that the LogViewer screen is showing incorrect times for the events. I am in Mountain Time zone in the US, which is GMT-7. When looking at the log from a web browser, my router is displaying the correct time. The text file that LogViewer saves on the local computer shows the same correct time. The LogViewer screen, however, shows a time 7 hours into the future. IE, if I type out the log from a DOS window, the last event will say something like "Mar 28 1:15:05 2008", but that same event number will be listed on the logviewer screen as "Mar 28 8:15:05" Any ideas on what may be wrong and how to correct it?
    Second, all events seem to be grouped exactly 3 minutes apart. I realize this is probably an effect of the router sending the information every three minutes. Anyone know of a way of changing that period?
    Hm, just noticed a third, but very minor issue. The text file written has the wrong day of week on it. It's listing Mar 28 2008 as a Wednesday...
    Thanks in advance for any advice.
    OK, the tech info. I am running LogViewer 1.14 on a Windows XP machine, contacting an WRT55AG with firmware 1.20. The connection is through a Cat 5 cable, not through the wireless.

  • My bank statement shows purchases that I did not buy!

    My bank statement shows purchases that I did not buy. There is an extra transaction that I did not make but I am being charged for. I have receipts for all my purchases and I did not recieve one for this transaction. What do I do?
    -Sharon

    Is this perhaps a new account, and this transaction is for $ 1.00? If so, that the normal hold charge almost all online vendors use to verify the validity of the account. It'll be reversed in a few days.
    If that's not the case - it's not a new iTunes Store account or the charge isn't for $ 1.00, contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department using the form at the bottom of the Purchase Issues FAQ web page and explain the problem to them.
    Regards.

  • Contact info for different contacts is showing up in wrong contact person's fields!

    Recently switched from mobileme to iCloud. Now, not only do old (formerly deleted) contacts show up on my iphone & ipad, but a lot of the contact information seems to have randomly merged with each other. So that for my contact Ash, it shows her phone number and a different contact's address and email address!
    How did this happen and how can I fix this? Different info for different contacts is showing up in wrong contact person's fields! Random information is showing up all over the place, so that in order to fix it manually, I'd have to scroll one by one on my phone and then try to figure out if the random incorrect contact info still shows up for the contact it belongs to. I'd rather not have to do this!
    * my iPad & iPhone have iCloud, not my macbook.

    I have Verizon and I tried the *228 thing and it didn't help

    Try this...
    have a text convo with the person you want to delete. Go to the top contact in the text convo, hit edit contact, and delete that contact.
    That resolution came from another thread on this issue, and this did solve to poster's issue.

  • How can I print out contact list showing info for contacts?

    How can i print out my contact list showing info. (phone #, email address, etc.)

    Go to my web site at https://sites.google.com/site/ipdparse to download macro and view documentation. IPD Parse runs on Windows and Excel.

  • Birthday calendar for only some of my contacts are showing up twice in my iPhone. They are not showing up twice tho on my iMac. No, I do not have duplicate names in my address book either. Any idea how to fix that?

    I have uploaded the InDesign file so that you can take a closer look at:
    http://www.hsdesign.comuf.com/downloads/
    The file is called "Template_File.indd"
    So, as discussed the main issues are:
    1) The TOC doesn't generate all the listings (only those with the applied paragraph style "Heading 1 - Appendix")
    2) When I try to create a new pargraph style and apply it to existing or new text, it reads the pargraph style in the Paragraph Style menu, but the style doesn't actually apply.
    Hopefully you can figure something out from this. I really appreciate your help.
    Thanks!

  • Creative Zen (16GB Model) showing incorrect song information

    <Creative Zen (6GB Model) showing incorrect song information I was given a Creative Zen for christmas, and I'm very happy with it.
    The only thing is, I've noticed that it seems to occasionally display the wrong title for the song it's playing. I have a playlist called RandomAll which I created using the Media Explorer software. Sometimes, when I look down at the player, I'll notice the wrong song information on screen. Not just the title or anything, but completely wrong information. For example, right now, my player is telling my that a Rihanna song is playing, and gives me all the details for that song (including the extended details if I go into the menu). But the song that's actually playing is a cover of Fraggle Rock by Me First & The Gimme Gimmes. It doesn't seem to be the same songs every time or anything like that, so I don't think it's a problem with the files.
    Is this an issue that has been noticed by anyone else? Is there anything I can do to fix it's And if not, is it the kind of thing I need to send my player back for?

    @ It could be incorrect ID3 tags on your .mp3s, if the source for your music had the wrong ID3 information, your Zen won't show the correct information unless you use an? ID3 Tag Editor to correct the source.

  • How do I get company's central contacts to show in OWA?

    During summer 2013 we shifted from SBS 2008 (Exchange 2007 which worked great but just constantly bottle-necked) to Windows 2012 with Exchange 2013. The migration seemed have gone well but when users went to access the company's public folders, mainly the
    central contact database (a Public Contacts folder) via OWA and Outlook 2011 for Mac, they were able to access them. The only contacts that showed was their local contacts and the Directory which I can't seem to update at all.
    Is there a way for me to get the users access to the contacts database via OWA and Outlook 2011 for Mac?
    I've tried the following so far:
    * Created a new user mailbox, copied all the contact to the local contacts list and shared but didn't work.
    * Manually updating contacts and then copying to individual users' local contacts
    * Directory contacts only show the name and email address and no other info which is a huge problem for the organization.
    * When I access the Public Contacts folder via a PC, I have full access but when I update contacts, they either don't show or don't update in the directory in OWA under People.
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
    TDWIL

    Hi TDWIL,
    I am not quite sure about the “central contacts” you mentioned in your post. Please confirm whether the issue is the Global Address Book cannot update or users cannot access public folders.
    In my Exchange 2013 CU1 environment, I access OWA and switch to People pane. There are many folders listed in Directory: All Rooms, All Users, All Groups, All Contacts, new, Public Folders. And I can click Directory to get all mailboxes in my Exchange environment.
    Directory contacts only show the name and email address. But after I set the user organization information in AD, it works and shows other information.
    If the issue is about GAL updates, please try running the following command to
    Update a Global Address List:
    Update-GlobalAddressList -Identity "Default Global Address List"
    Note: Running this command only starts the update process. It may take several hours for the GAL to be updated.
    If the issue is that users cannot access public folders, Please check whether the
    public folder permission is configured properly and the
    public folder migration from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013.
    Thanks,
    Winnie Liang

  • Contact Photos Show Up with 10.4.3 Update

    I just updated to 10.4.3, and the contact photos show up. Apparently, the software is being updated, and Apple is listening. I'm sure there will be more updates for added functionality.

    Congratulations to all you "MAc" users, however, from what I gather, this feature is not supported for Windows users and would have to be addressed in a future release of iTunes for Windows.
    Deduction: It's an APPLE iPod, so I guess it has more support for APPLE Mac users than MICROSOFT Windows users.

  • Please help me. I've just lost my iphone so I related to my backup contacts on icloud to get my contacts back. But my contacts only show at the first time and then they dissappeared, my contacts was empty. How can I see my contacts?

    If they aren't on icloud.com they are no longer in iCloud.  If you don't have another backup, I'm afraid they're gone.
