Messages Does Not Display Contact Card

When I message someone or they message me to/from my Messages App on my MBP Messages will not fill in their contact information from my contacts. The only exception to this is when I am messaging someone who uses their email as their iMessage/Messages primary address.
For example, if I am messaging my friend who has an iPhone and their primary form of contact is their phone number then they show up as a phone number in my Messages app on my computer. However, on my phone they show up with their contact information filled in and the messages usually sync (sometimes there is issues where my computer will take me back to the last place I sent a message on the computer even though it has synced all of the messages I have also sent from my phone that day.) *See Screen Shot 1 Below*
The opposite example is if I am messaging someone who has set their primary contact information to be their email address. In this case, Messages will add their contact information and picture to the message thread similar to "Brent" and "Mom" in Screen Shot 2  below.
I don't know what else to do. I've tried restarting the app. Deleting message threads and restarting them. I cannot find other people who are having this issue as well. I'm just trying to figure out why my messages won't sync contact info. It all started when facebook updated their syncing with contacts. And yes, all of these phone numbers are in my contacts and assigned to contacts with pictures both on my phone and synced to my MBP.

Hi,
Not sure I would have got that one.
Can't say I have seen it before.
Custom in Language and text can mean two things.
1) You have either added things to particular Displays  (such as day and Date to the Time display)
2) You can changed something like a Measurement setting from British Imperial to Metric
There are other "tweaks" such as using a Chinese Calendar whilst saying you are in the US.
I have mine set to United States so I can use the AIM SMS "feature"  in Messages.

  • Nokia 5800 does not display contact names

    With some of my contacts an incoming call with a Caller ID does not display the caller's name, although they are in my Contact List and the number is in a valid format.Same is the case for sms's from the same contact.I only have one entry of that contact in my phonebook...Any 1 facing the same issue?

    This is inevitably caused by duplicate entry, (many posts already exist) check settings in options in contacts and make sure memory in use is phone memory. Then you need to go through contacts and make sure you don't have more than one name attached to each number  .
    Good Luck

  • ADF FACES: af:messages/ does not display my messages at all

    I am having an issue displaying messages using ADF MyFaces EA20.
    <af:messages />
    Within all backing beans I call messages with the following method to conveniently display messages when needed.
    // Add invalid email address message
    JSFUtils.addMsgToContext(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR, "setEmail_error", MsgConstants.INVALID_EMAIL);
    The method utilized can be seen below:
    public static void addMsgToContext(FacesMessage.Severity severity, String msgKey, String descKey) {
        // Check the parameter, if either short desc or desc both are empty
        if (StringUtils.isEmpty(descKey)) {
            logger.error("Message description are empty. Do NOTHING just return");
            return;
        try {
            logger.debug("Add Message to Context");
            FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
            Application application = context.getApplication();
            // Add the message to the context
            context.addMessage(msgKey, getMessageFromBundle(descKey, severity));
        } catch (RuntimeException e) {
            * Supress RuntimeException.
            logger.error("Error occured when add message to context", e);
    With the first login page when validating username and password, the messages I send to the context display correctly, for example, “incorrect password please try again” and this uses exactly the same code as above in the backing bean.
    However once a session has started the messages simply do not get displayed and are not included in the HTML the <af:messages /> is replaced with nothing.
    No runtime exception is thrown.
    If anyone has any idea of why the messages are not being displayed I would be very grateful to hear them.
    Finally if I may add that I used this method of displaying messages in a previous project and it was fine. This time the only difference is that I am using Hibernate.
    The closest answer I could find to a similar issue with Oracle Forums was:
    The messages have to be added before the Render Response phase. It's generally very unusual to add messages in a bean getter/setter. I'd restrict yourself to adding messages in event listeners and actions.
    I do put messages in my setter methods as this is where I perform validation, but I have tried moving them to the main method called by the action button and this still does not display my messages.

    Frank
    There is a standard way? Next time you can simply tell me to RTFM ;-) . I am working on a project and was assigned my particular section and was told that the messaging aspect and validation was not urgent, until now near the end of the project when it has become urgent. Rather then listen to my colleagues answer of "this is the way to do it" your answer suggested that we working in a non-standard way.
    Having looked at Oracle JDeveloper 10g (10.1.3) Documentation, Validation, Conversion, and the Application Lifecycle section I noticed:
    Render response:
    Either display new page based on invoked navigation rules, or displays same page with errors.
    I was providing a new navigation String to the same page under all conditions, which I guess gives a new context and so does not display the messages. Under error conditions I now return an empty navigation String and now it displays my messages.
    Thank you for your help with this and I promise to read the manual next time.

  • Outlook "send to" does not display contacts

    Using Outlook / Office 365, and Windows 8.1, with iCloud . All appears to be working, except when composing an email. Clicking either the "TO" or "CC" buttons opens the "Send to" dialog.  No contacts are displayed there, and the address book pull down displays no address books.
    I have completed the Apple Support trouble shooting process with no change.
    How do I correct this?

    G'day all -
    I've got the same problem, sort of. One person in particular has a Vodaphone branded 6234, which insists on sending the number as a fully qualified international, that is, with the +61nnnnnnnnn.
    I imported the contacts from a Sony-Ericsson on my SIM, which worked fine and they seem to have migrated seamlessly into the phone memory (I didn't do it!!!!!), and there are no duplicates. Other numbers show the person's names, but not this number,
    My phone details are:
    V 04.22
    05-11-07
    RM-122
    Nokia 6110 (24.01)
    I've deleted the contact from SIM, re-entered it from the keyboard, copied it to the SIM, all in various combinations -- nothing works. This person/number has NEVER been duplicated (apart from the SIM and phone memory).
    Is this something I have to live with, or is there a fix?

  • Does Not Display contacts name

    Hello,
    Just wondering why on my 6110 when some one in my contacts list sends me an sms it comes up with their mobile number not their name. Only just new and still trying to work out phone.

  • Picture messages does not display

    When I receive a picture message and I try to open it, It open up a grey sceen with IMG_12345. It allows me to save the picture and view it in my camera roll. How can I fix this?

    probably something to do with jailbreaking your phone, which can't be discussed here. try google.

  • My messages are not displaying, in the body of the message?

    When going to mail I see messages but the body of the message does not display.

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if they show when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Mac outlook 2011 not display "Contact and Recent addresses"

    I just installed Mac outlook 2011 in my new 2014 Macbook Pro OSX 10.9.4
    When I type email address to the bar it does not display "Contact and Recent addresses" to list all the typed email address. Only if I press "tab" button, it will finish the rest of the address. The point is I cannot choose the address
    from a list of same name persons.
    However, it works well in my old Mac Book pro. OSX 10.9.3
    Thanks.

  • Messages on Mac app not displaying contact name

    On Messages on my Mac, despite being synced up with iCloud, the Messages app does not display the contact names of anyone. It shows their phone numbers or Apple email addresses. Is there any preference I can change to make it show the contact names? If it exists I haven't found it. I also used the app meant to scrub contacts to make the phone number format conform with Apple's standard (xxx) xxx-xxxx please help!

    HI,
    I take it you are no longer on OS X 10.7.2 ?
    The display of Names (and/or Pics) in Buddy Lists and the main Messages window (when in a  Chat)  in Mountain Lion is controlled from the View Menu > Buddy Names.
    To set this choice the window has to be the "Front" one.
    So the Messages window (CMD + 0 in the window Menu) gets brought to the Front when any sort of Text Chat is going On.
    the View Menu > Buddy Names items is selected and navigation to the choice you want.
    Full names is the First name, Last name as seen in the Contacts app (Formerly the Address Book)
    Short Names are Nicknames (normally set via Messages) or First name only if no Nickname exists.
    Handle is the Screen Names (If AIM), Jabber ID (If Facebook, GoogleTalk or other Jabber ID) or in the case of iMessages the current contact ID or iPhone number.
    You can do the same to any Buddy list that you also display.
    It can be used in Conjunction with the View Menu > Messages which has options to display Pics, Names or Pics and Names.
    (Names now refers to whatever is set in the "Buddy Names" option).

  • When I try to create a new Message on my Mac, Messages does not bring up my Contacts

    I have followed the instructions to setup Messages, I can send messages to the email addresses that I have memorized, but when I try to create a new Message on my Mac, Messages does not bring up my Contacts when I type in the search field for a person that has an iPad or iPhone.
    This sems out of sorts for an Apple product. Their stuff normally just works.
    For some reason, My Mac Mini with Mountain Lion doesn't recognize my contact names, or it isn't synched with my contacts...
    Anybody else want to weigh in, please?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    I would point out that I did say...
    Of course the Contacts List has to have people listed in it.
    The Error seems to be that you have not even got an My Card.
    The OS when the computer is brand new and you set up the first Admin Account should create at least once Card entry for the Address Book/Contacts which has the Head and Shoulders icon (the My Card)
    The does presume the the first account on the Mac doers have a person's First name and Last name to work with.
    Of course not everyone sets things up this way.
    Anyhow
    To Check the Contacts List open the app.
    Go to the Preferences.
    Go to the Accounts section.
    This should list at least two "accounts
    One is for Syncing with iCloud and the other is for storing the Info on the Mac itself
    In System Preferences > iCloud you can only set up one Apple ID to be the iCloud ID.
    If you do or have changed this you may have extra accounts in the Contacts > Preferences > Accounts

  • Phone number does not display in Lync Contct Card on mobile devices

    Good day for all!
    I faced with strange issue with Lync Contact card on mobile devices.
    We have installed Lync Server 2013 (with last CU (December 2014)) and Exchange server 2010 SP3 (Rollup 4)
    All lync enabled users have filled AD attribute telephoneNumber  - 4-digit internal work phone.
    this work phone has shown correctly in Lync Contact card on Lync 2013 desktop client, but it does not display for some users on Lync Mobile clients (Lync for Android, Windows Phone and iOS)
    May be someone have an idea why this is happening and what is going wrong for me?
    Thanks in advance!
    P.S. sorry for my English.
    P.P.S I cannot submit screenshot with problem because "Body text cannot contain images or links until we are able to verify your account"

    Hi,
    It can be the issue caused by the privacy relationship.
    Please check if others set the relationship for these issued users to be workgroup. If not, change it. For these issued Lync users, on their desktop client, also make sure the relationship set to be workgroup.

  • SMS text message header does not display sender information

    When I receive a text message the only header information that displays is the date and time.  The senders information does not display.  The lines are not even there.  There is no way to reply to a text message or tell who the sender is.  This problem is only with SMS messages.  Regular email headers display just fine.  I have done a wipe, reset, reload, everything possible with no luck.  I am the only one in my office with this problem.  I have not been able to find any information or postings from anyone having the same problem.  I can read the text message, but there is no header (except for the date and time).  Any thoughts?
    Blackberry Curve 8350i

    I was able to resolve the problem by uninstalling the Blackberry desktop manager software and reinstalling it selecting Internet Email vs. Blackberry Enterprise Server.  If you get to the screen that asks you to choose which type of email service you use and you accidentally choose the wrong one your phone will work but will do strange things, including sending all sorts of redirect emails.  For me, this seemed to do the trick.
