Phone numbers not appearing correctly in Messages

I love the new feature that allows you to reply to anyone in Messages, not just users with iOS devices.
However it doesn't seem to be bringing up my saved contacts correctly. On my iPhone I will receive the message with their name as it is saved in my contacts, where as on my Mac it comes up as just their number. One year ago I moved from the UK to the US, and although I bought my Mac in the US, when I go to reply to the number on my Mac, it is adding +44 in front of it, so obviously these messages are not going through (or if they are they're going to the wrong person!)
Is there a way around this? To set my Messages up to be default to +1, so therefore the numbers come up correctly as they do on my iPhone??
Thanks,
Mark

Incoming Phone numbers not appearing on Nokia N97

I was got my Nokia 97 today and I've noticed that when receiving calls, even from numbers I know are not private or blocked, the phone number doesn't appear on the screen or in the call log. I have tried going through all the settings and everything I could think of to try and fix th problem but nothing would help. This is frustrating as when I recieve a call I have no idea who it is from, or who to call back!
Any help at all with this problem would be much appreciated!!
Thanks heaps!!
God Bless you!

Solved!
Go to Solution.

1. open log = options = and set it to 30 days
2. if it didn't work, backup your data and press *#7370# ((soft reset))
n.b : of course there's no duplication ... (( open contacts optios and use one memories only sim or phone memory to display contacts ))

Hello, For some reason, phone numbers that appear correctly in MSIE are missing in Mozilla. Sometimes they appear for a fraction of a second, so that I have to open the page repeatedly to read the whole number. Any clue about this? Alan Schaaf

Try the url below in both Firefox and MSIE. You will see that the words "Toll Free:", in red at the top center, are followed by a phone number in MSIE but not in Firefox Firefox3.6.8.

You can disable the Skype extension by going to Tools | Add-ons | Skype | Disable. You will need to restart Firefox.

TS1717 Having trouble running iTunes version 11.0.2 on a Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1. Keep getting an error message "the software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly..." reinst

Having trouble when I launch iTunes (version 11.0.2) on my Dell Laptop running Windows 7 Professional (service pack 1). I get an error message indicating software required to communicate with iPod and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you? I normally respond with OK and it immediately tells me "could not be repaired. Please reinstall iTunes..." I have done this a number of times to no avail.

I also notice Quicktime is not getting installed at all.
That one is normal nowadays (ever since the iTunes versions 10.5.x).
The software required for communicating with iPods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want iTunes to try to repair this for you?
Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

Error message: "the software required for communicating with Ipods and mobile phones was not installed correctly....

2 error messages when opening itunes: "The software required for communicating with Ipods and mobile phones was not installed correctly. Do you want Itunes to repair this for you?" When clicking yes another message indicates not able to remove services. Another message is: "Service (ipod service) could not be installed. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to install system sources." I've uninstalled all Apple services (itunes, quicktime, apple software update, apple mobiles devices support, bonjour and apple application support and reinstalled itunes/quicktime - no change in error messages. I cannot burn CDs using Itunes. This all seemed to happen when I updated itunes to version 10. I have a Windows 7 64-bit operating system on a Dell Inspiron Zino HD; the Itunes software is also 64 bit.

My personal ringtones are on my iPhone 5, they are attached to the correct phone numbers and play correctly when I test them on each contact. But when I receive a call instead of the proper ringtone, it plays the generic. What Am I not doing right?

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

Phone numbers not recognised (sms & incoming)

After a momunmental mobile me sync disaster (it somehow trippled every contact), I had to wipe mobile me (and subsequently all conatcs on my phone) and restore it from a back up. Activating one device at a time and replacing info on device with new data on mobile me.
When I did this with the iPhone, the contacts were restored, but all messages recieved from my contacts appear as phone numbers not names, so I have no idea who sent them. Also, half of incoming calls have the same problem, not using contact info - just the number. Have backed up & resotred my phone (from said backup) and issue continues.
Any idaes on how to resolve?

I already have most recent update 4.3.3

The software required for communicating with ipod and mobile phones was not installed correctly

ok i've seen this in several threads and haven't found one with an anwser. the software required for communicating with ipod and mobile phones was not installed correctly. of course when you tell it to repair it does not. this has happened several times now and only cure i have found is uninstalling itunes and reinstalling. works for maybe a few weeks then does the same thing and i start all over again with uninstall and reinstall. i tunes version 10.4.1.10 64 bit running on windows 7 64 bit and trying to sync with Iphone 3gs - so anyone have a fix for this or am i stuck reinstalling itunes every few weeks???

"The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again, or enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package "iTunes64msi"
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

RoboHelp 8 numbers not appearing as in WYSIWYG

Since updating to RoboHelp 8.02, the fonts of the numbers in numbered steps are not appearing correctly in the generated CHM.
I am attaching 2 images - 1 is of how the numbering appears in the WYSIWYG and 1 of how it appears in the generated CHM.
The font and size change.
I've looked at various sites explaining how to use numbering, but couldn't see what to update to change the font and size of the numbers.
Thank you,

" software for this i phone is not installed correctly. reinstall iTunes"

Hi guys
I managed to get iTunes to open but now I receive a warning message "software for this i phone is not installed correctly. reinstall iTunes", when connecting my iphone and ipad as well... reinstalling itunes does not solve the problem.
I tried removing the latest itunes from my registry and installing the previous version that worked, hence the problem persist.
I'm sure i'm not the only victim out there.
Pls guys, any advise on how do i fix this problem.
Thanx

"Non rectangular objects will not appear correctly when exported using CSS."

I am using Ind CC 2014 exporting a document to a reflowable epub. The document contains an .ai image. The image exports correctly in some parts of the.epub but not others, where it is distorted. There is a warning on export :"Non rectangular objects will not appear correctly when exported using CSS." Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks!

"Printer cartridges not installed correctly" error message

HP Tech Support and HP Envy Users, Still getting the "Printer cartridges not installed correctly" error message for no good reason and it's July 2015! HP should have fixed this problem a long time ago based on the date of the posts from users. And/or corrected the misleading error message, as the users did install them correctly. I didn't get an installation error message when I installed my cartridges and I have been able to print successfully on this current set of cartridges. My error message appeared out of the blue. I've done all the troubleshooting steps except replace BOTH cartridges. I will do that. If the error message goes away once I've replaced one or both cartridges, HP should have long provided an update that says, "replace ink cartridges" and not the misleading one of not being installed correctly. If that doesn't clear up the problem, I will call HP as it's still under warranty. Hope I didn't get one of the "lemons" that require servicing.

Hello @jimboware and welcome to the HP Forums!
As far as I'm aware, there is no Windows 6, did you perhaps mean Windows 7? This What's My OS link will help if you'd like
When you're starting the install, do you plug in the USB cable before the software asks for it?
Let me know that information and we'll go from there!

'other' phone numbers not synchronised from outloo...

when synchronising contacts in outlook, phone numbers that appear under the category 'others' as oppose to business, or mobile are not synchronised. they show up in outlook, but not on the phone!
is it possible to either:
a) synchronise these
b) automaticaly change the number type to another,
c) solve this problem in another way?
the contacts were all synchronised from an earlier phone, where they show up as normal....

I saw that post and i had to reply for it.
A little-great-working solution for that is to run those 3 lines (one line at a time) on powershell and all the "Other" lable contacts will change to "Mobile" label and here you go, like a magic - all contacts phone numbers are now visible on the phone again.
(Drop the 1. 2. 3. from the lines of course)
Hope i helped someone
1.     $outlook = new-object -com outlook.application
2.     $contacts = $outlook.Session.GetDefaultFolder(10)
3.     $contacts.Items | % { if($_.MobileTelephoneNumber -eq "") { $_.MobileTelephoneNumber = $_.OtherTelephoneNumber; $_.OtherTelephoneNumber = ""; $_.save() } }

SIM card inserted in the phone does not appear to be supported?

I have an Iphone 4 and I got the email form ATT telling me I could unlock it, after I sent them a request. I did all the steps and the "Congratulations, your Iphone is unlocked" message did not show up in Itunes. Instead, it went to the "The SIM card inserted in the phone does not appear to be supported. Only compatible SIM cards from a supported Carrier may be used to activate Iphone." I have a Tmobile SIM card that I want to activate my phone under, but as of right now, I don't think my Iphone 4 is unlocked.
I tried the Apple support guide to this message, but there isn't a restore button for this. What should I do?!
