In address book, if I try to show first name before the last name, why do only a few names change?

Using address book on 10.7.2, when I go to "preferences" to change the display order between showing the "first name" before or after the last name, only about 25% of names will change.  The rest all stay in the same order.   Any ideas? 

By default any outgoing email has the addresses saved in the Collected address book. You can turn this option off if you want.

  • HT2486 want to know how to add pictures to address book that DO NOT appear as fullscreen images on the iPhone but remain as icons with the iPhone background visible

    want to know how to add pictures to address book that DO NOT appear as fullscreen images on the iPhone but remain as icons with the iPhone background visible (see attached image). for some reason, all new contacts added through Mountain Lion appear as fullscreen caller ID images.

    This would be better addressed in the iPhone forum, I would post there as well.

    My credit card  has been charged for book, however my purchase history shows no record of the transaction and I have not received the book. The online problem reporting system does not have options to report this incident. Who can I call?

    Would be problems with purchases, billing, and redemption option.  It's not 100% exact to your issue, but it will get you to the right department.
    Go here https://expresslane.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.do then select ITunes, then Store, then Purchases, Billing, and Redemption.  Then.. probably pick "My topic is not listed."

    5 crashes after upgrade to ios my address book immediately and I can not access emails, because the password is wrong and when I go to mail settings crashes the application immediately from 

    Same issue also. Occurring both on my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 after upgrading to ios 5
    By the way, Mattban and Sancasslano, are either of you also experiencing any of the following issues:
    * Problems with Contacts either crashing or listing no names
    * Problems with turning iCloud on or off for application under Settings->iCloud... On both mine I just get a pop up saying that iCloud is being turned off but Contacts then just locks up.
    * General problems when trying to synch applications on the iPad or iPhone over iCloud?
    I am wondering if all these issues are in someway related to and whether it is worth trying to turn off iCloud somehow, though I cannot work out how this can be done once set up.

  • HT5361 Why can't I put a address from my address book in the to: by pressing click in address book ???? I have to select the name, and then go  to To: and press to get the name entered....

    I have been trying since I installed Mountain Lion to get my mail  to put my names from my address book into my new messages, but I must select the name and then select To: Box to transfer name, Why????

    You cannot mve the songs manually from iphone to your computer.
    The way you do this is exactly what you did :  File>Transfer Purchases

  • Address Book in Lion will not launch an email from the contact card.

    I used to be able to go to a contact in Address Book on the macbook pro and double click the Email field on the contact card and it would either launch Mail with an email addressed to that address or it would give me the option to do so. In Lion nothing happens. If I right click it asks me to open the URL of the website of the email address with Safari and not Mail.
    For example: Open Address Book, double click a contact and double click the Email field lets say just for example, [email protected]  It used to launch the Mail app with an email addressed to [email protected], however now nothing happens when you double click the Email field on the card. If you right click it you get the option to open the URL and it sends you to www.apple.com
    Is this new with Lion? In Snow Leopard it worked great.

    Address Book v 6.1.3 allows you to place the mouse cursor over the word "home" and then
    click to reveal a context sensitive menu - "Send Email" is but one of the options available.

  • I have change my phone language to english. but the phone shows chinese language in the internet pages and with call details. how to change it. why is this occuring?

    i have change my phone language to english. but the phone shows chinese language in the internet pages and with call details. how to change it. why is this occuring?

    If the phone is not unlocked, let's say for example it is locked to another carrier such as at&t, when you put in the Tmobile SIM in, the phone would complain about the SIM.
    Does your phone do that? If yes, then the party that sold you the iPhone4S (if you purchased it from another person) may have not done the unlocking properly, and that may explain why Tmobile is insisting on the phone being locked.
    If you purchased your iPhone4S new from Apple, did you pick Tmobile, or did you choose unlocked?
    If you picked the Tmobile choice, then it should come up ready to use.
    If you picked the unlocked choice, then you would need to visit Tmobile to purchase a nano-SIM and usually they should be more than willing to help you, since you're paying for their service.
    But as you have indicated, this phone is under AppleCare, so if it doesn't work with a supposedly good Tmobile SIM, the quickest way to fix this is to get a replacement phone. When we troubleshoot we always try the least time consuming methods first.
    You may have noticed it, that a good number of unfortunate uses of the iPhone4S have had their wifi become strangely disabled after upgrade to iOS7. Your situation is the reverse, your wifi is useable but not your cellular network.
    In the mean time, you can apply for a Google Voice account (see http://www.google.com/voice), and obtain a free North American telephone number. You can then download one of many free Google Talk applications. Set it up, and you will be able to call and receive phone calls using your wifi. This would be just for the transition period before you get a useable phone.
    Google voice provides average voice quality calls to and from US & Canada numbers for free for 1 hour per call. You can use this as a temporary work around while you are waiting for your replacement phone.
    Cheers!

  • Everytime I try to purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store it tells me that iTunes has changed their terms and agreements and I need to first read and agree to them before I can proceed. It never pulls up the terms and agreement window to read?

    Lately I have been getting a rectangular screen titled Login Setting, with my Username and Password and asking me to Login.  This screen shows up on opening the computer and has never been seen before the last month or so.  It has one box titled Login Credentials with a username and password field and a second box titled Login Status at the bottom where it says "Profile not found" in red.   I've never seen this before and ignoring it does not effect any operations.   Is this legitimate or some kind of identity fishing?

    http://www.mac-and-i.net/2012/04/flashback-detect-and-remove-uprising.html
    In order to avoid detection, the installer will first look for the presence of some antivirus tools and other utilities that might be present on a power user's system, which according to F-Secure include the following:
    /Library/Little Snitch
    /Developer/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/MacOS/Xcode
    /Applications/VirusBarrier X6.app
    /Applications/iAntiVirus/iAntiVirus.app
    /Applications/avast!.app
    /Applications/ClamXav.app
    /Applications/HTTPScoop.app
    /Applications/Packet Peeper.app
    If these tools are found, then the malware deletes itself in an attempt to prevent detection by those who have the means and capability to do so. Many malware programs use this behavior, as was seen in others such as the Tsunami malware bot.
