Where does the Iphone get the Contacts from?

I recently purchased an Iphone and set it up. When I looked at my Contacts, there were hundreds of Contacts in the Contact list. I recognized most of them, but I'm wondering, where did it pull the Contact information from? It seemed to have pulled the information from numerous souces, based on what I saw in the Contact list.

from your contacts on your Mac? icloud.
From your old phone-  that got carried over.
Back up assistant from your carrier- if you use that service.

  • Where does "Skype Comunity" get the display name?

    I just registered to the support comunity forums and wondering from where this site gets my display name. I have never entered it myself. I have no options to change it. I have no confirmation emails.  The other weird thing is that this name is corresponding to one of my email boxes never revealed to skype. What is that all about??? Could someone kindly explain please.

    I'm working on the project but the Telecom team is asking for this information. I can only guess on the reasons why he needs this information at this point. I do know he asked for it and deemed it "necessary." Hence the question to the boards. My PoC in Telecom is administering the MDM.

  • Can the iPhone get a virus from a link in an email?

    While trying to delete a suspicious email, my phone accidentally opened the email and clicked the link. Could I get a virus from this? Thanks!

    Not unless it's been jailbroken. If you supplied any personal information to the site you accidentally went to, consider it to be compromised.

  • When will the iPhone get the camera flash added to it???

    I do love the look of the iPhone and everything else, it is brilliant all in one thing.
    However, I did not buy one for myself just yet....
    As, my friend have one, and my friend let me to play with, so I was fiddling around with it, and playing with the iPhone.
    However there is one problem, that there is no camera flash or bright light to make the object/people to be visible. Like being in nightclub. or other darker places.
    Which there is other mobile phones, do offer the light or flash already built in.
    Which I am bit disappointed.
    So I was wondering when they will add this option...?
    Also they need to improve the Photo taking option, as sometimes when I try to snap shot something, and notice the images are bit blurry, so it needs a very firm hands to shoot the images accurately, without the look of being blurred, so it is annoying in some ways...!
    So I will wait until they improves on this phone a bit further...
    As it is quite expensive enough!

    This would be hardware and would require a new handset.

    I don't have any problem taking good pictures and I don't have super steady hands.

  • Where does InDesign CS4 get the name for the .icml file when using "Add to Assignment"?

    I'm trying to figure out a larger problem with InDesign and InCopy files and was curious about where the names comes from. When I add a story to an assignment it doesn't ask me for a name. It seems it is using a name from sometime in the document's past.

    Found it...
    ${bindings.XXXXXX.path}Found it when trying out LOV's... The messageLovInput node uses it to populate it's id.

I tought iMessages are always received on bothe devices, like the advertisment says i should be able to start a iMessage conversation on ipad and finish it on iphone because both devices receive my iMessages... Thats not like it is on my devices, most times iMessages are only received from the iphone.

  • How do I get my contacts from the icloud on pc?

    How do I get my contacts from the icloud on pc? I am not able to get my contact on a different phone. I can't even see my contact without iphone.
    So tell me from where i'll be able to get my contact or contact backup in pc

    If your contacts are in iCloud, you can view them from your PC at icloud.com.  You can also download them as a vCard as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606.   If your computer meets the system requirements, you can also sign into your iCloud account on your computer and sync the contacts using Outlook (PC) or Address Book/Contacts (Mac), as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/.

  • How to I get my contacts from the iCloud  to my new phone

    I am having problems with my new iphone5 the lady in the shop saved all my contacts on the iCloud and said I could get them once I have started up my new phone.does anyone know how I can get my contacts from the iCloud to new iPhone. Thanks

    It depends on how she saved them on iCloud.  Check your contacts on icloud.com from your computer.  If they are there, all you need to do is go to Settings>iCloud, sign in with your iCloud ID, then turn Contacts to On. 
    If your contacts aren't on icloud.com, she may have simply backed up your phone to iCloud.  If that's the case, you would have to restore the backup to your new phone by going to Settings>General>Reset, tapping Erase All Content and Settings (which will erase the phone), then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud backup.

  • Just one month before i bought iphone 5... but the iphone has the internet connectivity problem... while a iphone 4s is cathcing 3G tower, whereas iphone 5 is catching 2G network only.... I've tried so many things to get recovered, but alas

    Just one month before i bought iphone 5... but the iphone has the internet connectivity problem... while a iphone 4s is cathcing 3G tower, whereas iphone 5 is catching 2G network only.... I've tried so many things to get recovered, but alas, nothing is workable- such as- restaring the iphone, reseting the networks etc... Please help me out from this problem..

    to be clear, my phone works fine when not in motion in a vehicle.  If I pull over and come to a complete stop, remaining in the car, my phone works.
    And while the phone is not working when I'm in motion, an internet search or a text message will go through, but I can not use Siri or any voice assistance when doing the text message or internet search.  The microphone is greyed out.
    So this is a unique issue, which appears to be the iPhone and not Verizon.

    When I sync my iPhone5 with my Macbook Pro I get the following message "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone because the iPhone disconnected". The strange this is that the phone did not disconnect because it sync my contacts and is charging.
    Why does this happen? I have tried several cables and it does the same thing.

  • Where does portal details gets stored in the backend

    Hi Gurus,
    Where does portal contents gets stored in the portal related backend ?
    Example:  We have Content Administration under which we create iviews, pages, worksets and roles. Where does this gets stored ? do they get stored in some table as shown below ?
    Table:
    Parameters:
    iview   'Report a Problem' iView Path      Add Padding Inside Tray   Allow Client-Side Caching   Application Name
    Values:
    Test       com.sap.portal.epsolman.EPSolman     Yes                                     Yes                                Testapp
    How can we fetch the details ?
    Regards,
    Rashmi

    Hi Rashmi
    To get the data from the portal database you need to use a datasource lookup.
    Context ctx = new InitialContext();
    DataSource ds = (DataSource)ctx.lookup("jdbc/SAP/BC_JMS");
    Connection con = ds.getConnection();
    The following datasources are provided by default for reading data from portal database
    SAP/BC_JMS,SAP/BC_UME, SAP/BC_WDRR.
    You can read more about JDBC Connector Service in the link [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/31/4cc81b275a419c8c72dca94366318a/frameset.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/31/4cc81b275a419c8c72dca94366318a/frameset.htm]

  • TS1347 just recently my iphone is not syncing calendar to my macbook.  It has worked all along until about a week ago.  It does transfer new items from the computer to the iphone but not from the iphone to the computer.

    just recently my iphone is not syncing calendar to my macbook.  It has worked all along until about a week ago.  It does transfer new items from the computer to the iphone but not from the iphone to the computer.

    Plug you iPhone into your computer, select the iPhone, select the photos tab. Now check (not uncheck) the sync photos from... Select the folder where the photo came from, click apply then sync, now uncheck the sync photos box, click apply, it will ask you if you want to remove the photos click remove, it will not delete other photos exept the ones in the folder that was synced. Then click sync and the photos will be removed
