When I add contacts from text messages they don't show up in my Contacts list.

Right, I hope I didn't miss another thread. Nothing appears in my contacts list when I try to save numbers from text messages. The only way to save a contact is to type it manually. But the "save to contacts" option is there, so where is it actually saving all those numbers ?

Hey Xyz321Abc,
Thanks for the question. Let’s check to make sure all of your groups are being displayed. It is possible that your new contacts are defaulting to a group that is hidden. With the Contacts application open, do the following to make sure that all groups are checked:
Show or hide a group. Tap Groups, then select the groups you want to see. This button appears only if you have more than one source of contacts.

    I purchased audio books from Itunes and they aren't showing up on the purchased list so I can't down load them to my new computer. I have authorized my computer. So any suggestions?

    You cannot redownload audiobooks at all.
    They will only be where you put them.

    Hi, Mrs.Frankie57. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you want to delete a song from your iOS device on iOS 7, tap Songs, swipe the song from right to left, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

  • When I take photos with my iPad they also go on my iPhone but when I take photos with my iPhone they don't show up on my iPad. What's that all about?

    When I take pictures with my iPad they go to my iPhone but when I take pictures with my iPhone they don't go to my iPad. How can I get the pictures I take with my iPhone to my iPad?

    Check the following:
    From your Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream, and make sure the slider is set to the ON position.
    From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi, make sure the slider is set to ON, and that your device is connected to a wireless network.
    Ensure that Camera app is closed on the device where you took the photo. Photo Stream will not upload photos from an iOS device until the Camera app is closed.
    Ensure your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device, and the battery charge is greater than 20%.

  • I changed to a Sumsung S4. I deactivated my iphone.  When some iphones sent me text messages they get error messages.  The texts don't send.  Help?

    I switched from iphone 5 to Samsung S4.   I could not receive messages from iphones.  Learned I needed to deactivate imessaging.  I did.  Iphones give error messages now when sending messages to me,  and I don't get the messages.   Help!

    See this about all the steps to deactivate iMessage. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5185
    The last step is to contact Apple Support if necessary.

  • Add family members? I clicked the add family and verified but they don't show up in the family members.  Help?

    I added a email address for a family member, it says they are verified but then I go to see if they were add to family and they are not there.  What  do I need to do?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • When people activate connection keys, they don't show up in the Admin users list. Why?

    I send people their key by e-mail. In most cases, when they click on it and it loads Contribute and they plug in the password, it will show up in the Admin listing of users. Other times, the same process is followed but they don't show up on any user list.  What can I do to get them listed?

  • I have a iPhone 3GS and my husband has the iPhone 4 , both phones with updated current . We added iMessage to them at first it was great, now I don't get half the texts my husbands send and when I send him a text message it will come up from my email???

    I have a iPhone 3GS and my husband has an iPhone 4, both phones are updated. We added iMessage the them both and at first it was great, the messages appear in the text messages under the phone contacts and when I send a text message it will either be a green message  or a blue one for (iMessage) depending on the signal.  Now when my husband sends a text message to me I don't get them all or some days none. When I send him a text message he gets them from my email address. I cannot send him a standard text anymore my phone only wants to iMessage, so if the signal is not right it just sits there undelivered???
    I also have a friend who that we regularly texted each other, for the past 4 months I can receive her texts but she never gets mine? And I have tried countless times, now iv given up trying and I don't use texting to either, but everyone else no problem.

    You and your husband can share a store account and still have seperate iCloud accounts for your contacts, bookmarks and stuff like that.  Click here for instructions to make an apple account without entering a credit card.  Make sure you use a different email address for each apple account. 
    Set up your iPhone/iPad whatever using the new account for iCloud.  Then go into settings/store and sign in with your purchasing account, you may need to sign out of the other account.  To the best of my knowledge, your household is allowed to share purchased legally, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
    Once you each have your own devices set to your own accounts you can set them to backup to that account and it will keep all your contacts seperate.

  • Deleted Contacts show up when trying to send a Text Message.

    I have deleted contacts that still show when I try to send text messages out.Their name still appears even when they are deleted in my contacts. I've tried countless methods but nothing works. It won't go away. It's a huge problem for me and a lot of other people that I've talked to. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    That is a last resort for me. I've done it before but I don't want to do it again. Why can't apple just make this problem disappear?

  • How come when I look at my text messages, my contacts' phone numbers appear instead of their contact names?

    How come when I look at my text messages, my contacts' phone numbers appear instead of their contact names?

    If you're with Verizon, here's what I found on the boards:
    Dial *228, press 1 when the nice lady answers and wait until she tells you your phone has been successfully programmed.
    Then hang up, and press the home key twice rapidly and delete the open/running apps that appear there - delete from that second screen, NOT from the Dock at the bottom of your home screen!  You don't want to delete the programs, you just want to close the open/running apps.
    Wait 5 minutes or so, then voila!  Mine was fixed!

    My iPhone 5S drowned in a rainstorm. How can I retrieve contacts and text messages from iCloud backup onto my iPad mini? There are some contacts on the iPad already but nowhere near all of them. I need to re-enter the contacts manually into an iPhone 4 as it does not support iOS 8.

    Let me get this straight.....You lost your phone.  You never backed it up, either to your computer or to a cloud service.
    How in the world would you expect to get data back?
