All calls received come in as "unknown" with no phone number or contact name from my address book?

All calls received come in as "unknown" with no phone number or contact name from my address book? This started to happen after returning from being overseas.

It was a caller id feature accidentally turned off when I I changed my account when returning to the US

  • I am using Mail with OS 10.9.1...I used to be able to drag and drop contact addresses from my address book to an e-mail header.  Now I have to type all the names and can't drag and drop.  Is there a setting for this?  Thanks!

    I am using Mail with OS 10.9.1.  I used to be able drag and drop names from my address book into the address header, but can no longer do that.  I now have to type each name in.  Does anyone know if there is a setting for this or is it a feature of the updated software?  Thanks for any info!

    Yes, that appears how Mavericks works right now. However, you can open the Address Panel, select all your contacts, then click the To (or CC, or Bcc) buttons to move the selection to the address field.
    If it is not already in the Toolbar, right-click on the Toolbar and select Customize Toolbar…
    Then, drag the address panel up to wherever you want it.
    You may also want to add it to the New Message window in the same way.

  • Got new. 4s today and it won't send or revive texts and also anyone that calls me comes up as unknown

    Can anyone help

    Try going to Settings > Messages and turn iMessages On.  Also your receive at setting is correct.
    As for calls coming up as unknown, does your carrier support caller ID?  Does the phone number of the caller appear?  If so, make sure that phone number is associated with one of you contacts.

  • When i open safari an apple alert comes up with a phone number.  when i call i get put on hold forever.  how do i get this off there?

    when i open safari an apple alert comes up with a phone number to call.  when i call i get put on hold forever or no one calls me back.  how do i get this off there and what is it?

    It's a scam. Do not call the number. There are several ways to recover.
    1. Some of those scam pages can be dismissed very easily. Press the key combination command-W to close the tab or window. A huge box will pop up. Press the return key and both the box and the page will close. If that doesn't happen, continue.
    2. Press and hold command-W. You may hear repeating alert sounds. While holding the keys, click the OK button in the popup. A different popup may appear, which you can cancel out of as usual.
    3. From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and uncheck the box marked Enable JavaScript. Leave the preferences dialog open.
    Close the malicious window or tab.
    Re-enable JavaScript and close the preferences dialog.
    4. If the Preferences menu item is grayed out, quit Safari. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. None of the windows and tabs will reopen.
    After closing the malicious page, from the menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.

  • When I send a Group message from my address book, the entire group gets listed in the "To" line. How do I get each member to receive the message individually without listing all members? Its just messy is all.

    When I send a Group message from my address book, the entire group gets listed in the "To" line. How do I get each member to receive the message individually without listing all members? Its just messy is all. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hey Grupo Castillo,
    Thanks for the question. You can actually configure this behavior from Mail preferences:
    1. Choose Preferences from the Mail menu.
    2. Click Composing.
    3. Deselect the checkbox for "When sending to a group, show all member addresses".
    When you send an email to the group, only the groups name will be seen.

  • Need to know of a method / process that can be used to send the same msg to all those appearing in my email listings with the same extension after the "@" sign in their address(es) on my macbook [e.g., with "@gov.ca"; Snow Leopard].

    Need to know of a method / process that can be used to send the same msg to all those appearing in my email listings with the same extension after the "@" sign in their address(es) on my macbook [Snow Leopard].

    If you simply want to send the exact same message to everyone in your address book with emails ending in "@whatever.com", you can do the following:
    Create an email with subject, message and attachments but no addresses
    Open Address Book, All Contacts
    Search in Address Book for @whatever.com
    Select the results and drag them into the To: or Bcc: field of the email. If Bcc: then put your email address in the To: field.
    Send the email
    This will not personalize the emails (such as with "Dear firstname:" at the top of the message) but it will let you send an idential message to everyone who meets your criteria.

  • HT1947 There are 5 of us in this house with IPhones and we all want to control the apple tv with our phones.    We all have separate iTunes accounts.   How do we do this?

    There are 5 of us in this house with IPhones and we all want to control the apple tv with our phones.    We all have separate iTunes accounts.   How do we do this?

    I have 3 iPhones in my house and 1 apple tv.
    I do NOT set a password on my apple tv, so any iPhone can send video to the tv.
    Any iPhone can use the apple remote option also.
    Just play a video and click that square with an arrow and play on apple tv. The video comes up from any iPhone in my house.
    Same goes for pics, etc

    Launch iTunes on your computer, plug the phone in & on the "Summary Pane", select "Restore". This will restore the phone to factory settings with all of your son's stuff gone. You can now use it as an iPod touch. To do this REQUIRES the deactivated sim card be still installed in the phone.

  • Does iPod touch 4th generation come with a phone number?

    I want an iPod touch 4th generation, then I heard it comes with iMessage, does it come with a phone number? How would you text without one?

    No. The Messages app uses an email address and the "number". You can call an iPhone that has the Messages app by either the phone number or the email address assigned for Messages.

    There is another setting for "Start Conversation from", that needs to be set to phone number.

  • If I set my phone to receive Imessages with my phone number ONLY, will that prevent someone else from having them sent to their device?

    If I'm correct, as long as someone is logged into your Apple ID, they can receive your messages. If you think someone else is using your Apple ID, change your password.

  • All of my texts are now being sent through my email after the new update. How do I change this back to just sending with my phone number?

    All of my texts are now being sent through my email after the new update. How do I change this back to just sending with my phone number?

    Try settings -- messages -- send & recieve and see if your email and phone number are in there and if there is only a check mark next to your email address.  If so just check off your phone number and try that.

  • Cannot make long distance calls when dialing from BB address book

    Hello, 
    1) If use a number from my address book, example 1-604-824-2021, to call long distance I get a message "all long distance calls must include the area code.  Please check the number and dial again."   If I use the telephone pad to call the exact same number, eg 1-604-82402021, the call goes through.  Is there a setting to adjust?  Please advise.  Thank you.
    2) I synched my BB to Outlook 2007 on my pc in order to print a hardcopy of my contact list.  The sync worked fine but only gave me the contacts with an email address and their name.  Contacts on my BB without email addresses didn't show on the list and all details, addresses, birthdates, and most importantly phone numbers for any contacts didn't show up.  Is there a way to get ALL the contact details on a hardcopy?  Thank you.
    The folks at Telus can't help because they apparently don't know BB products well enough.  I'm not about to pay BB technical to tell me how to use their product but i might take the service providers advise to buy an iPhone.  Can someone offer advise to solve these two seemingly simple issues
    Thanks again.

    Please check your Smart Dialing settings...it may be that they are active, which could make the "1" in your Contact Item extraneous.

    Interesting...it should sync everything...hmmm... Well, if your only interest is a hard copy, then an export might be just as simple. The Desktop Software can export to a CSV, which you could then render in Excel, and do with as you please. Unfortunately, the export feature was removed in the most recent versions of the Desktop Software (don't ask...it's a HUGE bru-ha-ha!!), and you must use an older version (6.x or lower, as I recall) to do that:
