Can any of my contacts see my other contacts?

Hi, I've searched the community and the internet and can't find the answer, does anybody know if my contact list can be seen by my contacts, I can't seem to see the contact list of any of my contacts so I assume it is the same both ways but I'd like to be sure. Is there a setting I need to check, this question stems from the fact I know on other social sites such as facebook when you "friend" someone it shows who they are friends with as suggestions etc. Is Skype the same. Many thanks in advance and apologies if this is covered elsewhere. John.

I added some stranger to my contact list one time and, while i was chatting with them they showed me all of my contacts and said they could send anything to them and say it was from me. So skype is not all that safe when talking to strangers.True, I talked to a stranger once and the got access to my contacts and harassed them, sent them bad pictures etc. SKYPE IS NOT SECURE... it is amazing to me how little Skype care about its customers. Very disappointing and they don't respond to this, just out the false information that only the # of contacts is available. Also if there is a problem that they have caused they just tell you to block and call the police. SKYPE should do a better job, must be easy to fix that security hole but they don't care.

WRT54G how I can setup 3 computers to see each other

Hi I have 2 pc wired to wrt54g and one laptop set as wireless.
I have no problem to get to internet.
But how I can setup them to see each other.
Do I need a hub or it can be done just with router.
Please let me know how this can be done.
I am not an expert so please be with me.
Thanks Jozef

You should lower down the security settings on the Zone Alarm.
Make sure the File and Printer Sharing which is one of the features created by Microsoft should be configured properly on 3 computers.
For more information on how to share files and printers on all of the 3 computers.

My kids share use my apple id for their ipods. Now I'm getting an ipad and wondering if I should get a new id (they don't want to start over). Can we share but not have to see each other's apps, contacts, etc?

My kids use my apple id for their ipods. Now I'm getting an ipad and wondering if I should get a new id (they don't want to start over). Can we share the id (my email address) but not have to see each other's apps, contacts, etc? I'd rather share I think, but don't want to create a nightmare for myself. Also, I already have a kindle app (with purchased content) for my computer - does getting a new id for itunes change my ability to access my kindle account on my ipad? Thanks!

So first I'd say that it's not a good idea to start a new apple id if you have a large purchase history. You may not transfer purchases between apple IDs. You should consider some other options listed here http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37 Primarily the option where you or your children have seperate icloud accounts/email accounts that sync their contacts apart from yours. You may use your apple ID for purchases and use a different one for icloud/email/etc.

I can't text a contact but can voice phone them. I don't have the problem with any other contact and the contact is not blocked. I have an iphone5.0 OS 8.1.3

I used to be able to text them with no problem. The only difference I can think is that this problem may have started since I downloaded the OS I am using now

HT4783 I have an early 2010 and a late 2011 MacBook Pro, they both have the latest upgrade of Lion. Neither of them can "see" each other in AirDrop. I have reset the apple ID on both. Is there any way I can make them "see" each other?

As far as I know the older mac is compatible with AirDrop.
Thanks

So by dual-signal, are you referring to 2.5Ghz/5Ghz signal?
I'm pretty sure my Mac mini 2011 has that but for whatever reason I cannot send via AirDrop to the mini. The mini can see other computers like my 2010 MacBook Pro and send files to it, but not in reverse. The MBP is unable to see or send to the mini unless the mini has engaged it to send a file to MBP. Even then it's temporary and the mini will disappear from the MBP's AirDrop radar upon completing the delivery of its file.
So I'm a bit perplexed on how the Mac mini has AirDrop, can see other AirDrop computers and send files to them, but cannot be seen on other Macs to reciprocate.

Computers on network can't see each other and can't communicate

I have a Linksys router, WRT54G, which calls itself wireless but has only wired connections.   I have my computer and my phone (for Vonage service) plugged into it.    My router is then connected to the household router by a CAT 5 cable.   The household router is also a Linksys; wireless and with plugs for a half dozen computers.
I get teh Internet fine with no problem, but we want to share my printer on the household network.   My housemate cannot see me on the household network and can't see my router either, and can't communicate with my computer with the \\Name command.   I can't see the household network and can't communicate with my housemate's computer with the \\Name command.
I am running Windows Firewall.   I am sure that so is my housemate.
Is there something special we have to do to set up our routers for the household network to work properly?
It looks like I'm supposed to configure my router to communicate with another router instead of connect directly to the Internet, but when I tried htat and enabled interactive adjusting or whatever I suddenly couldn't access the Intenet and my phone couldn't get a dial tone, until I changed it back.
Tehre isn't any explanation of how to do it anywhere.   There aer technical descriptions of what each thing does but I don't see where it says how to set it up or how to troubleshoot.
I don't know if we were supposed to set up networks and manually add each other's computers. Apparently my housemate did not have to do that with his wife's computer or his notebook.    They just show up in the network.
Yours,
Dora

Thanks for your help.   Unfortunately between when I last looked at your name and when I managed to reply I forgot your name.
1. For the option that the parts of the network can see each other, you plug the cable into the OUTGOING port of the SECONDARY router?    That doesn't make a whole lot of sense; how cuold that possibly work? The way I understand it, the signal can come in only through the incoming plug, which you call the "internet" plug, if I'm understanding you.
2. If you choose the setup that makes any sense - the cable is plugged into the incoming plug - the "internet" plug - on the secondary router, and the ethernet connection on the primary router, can all the computers see each other and their resources, ie, printers they want to share?
3. If not, why on earth?
4. for the second option, it looks like some steps are missing.   Why don't you need to disable DHCP and set the router to be a secondary router?
PM me for my contact details.
Thanks!
Yours,
Dora Smith

I found out that I have some lost contacts on my iphone 5s, they dont appear when I search but if the contact calls me I see their name. How can I get those contacts to be on the list?

You could check settings > mail contacts and calandars and see if there are any accounts (like icloud gmail yahoo) listed and if they have contacts on. Its possible if contacts were synced to one of these accounts that turning them back on will recover the missing contacts.

I see there is another ios update. I have an iPhone 4S. The last time I updated the ios I lost all my contacts, as I had not been using the iCloud as a backup. I am now apprehensive about the latest update. How can I determine if contacts are backed up?

You should never lose contacts under any circumstances.
Although contacts are included with the iPhone's backup, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer where such important data should be available with or without an iPhone or any cell phone. Not a good idea to depend on a cell phone for such important data which can be lost or stolen or damaged beyond repair.
In addition, there are a number of free email accounts that support syncing contacts over the air including an iCloud account, Gmail, Yahoo, and Hotmail.
If you are not syncing contacts over the air with an iCloud account and not backing up your iPhone wirelessly with your iCloud account, your iPhone's backup is being updated by iTunes on your computer which is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
With Windoze, contacts can be synced with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events, notes, and reminders, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express and by Windows Mail called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only. With a Mac, contacts can be synced with the Address Book app. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
If the supported address book app on your computer is not used and has no contacts available, before the first sync for this data enter one contact in the supported address book app on your computer. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.

I am in my icloud, I can track my phone and see my Contacts, but there's no mail. Why can't I see my stored emails?

I am in my icloud; I can track my phone and see my Contacts, but there's no emails. What am I doing wrong?

Not sure we're speaking the same language (my fault), but let me try again: I launched Firefox, logged into icloud.com and gone to the mail page to find no emails there. We have a home wifi network, and our iPad and iPhone are synched with our home email on the home computer. In the iPad settings under iCloud I turned the email slider to "ON", and it uploaded the calendar and contacts to the iCloud, but not the email.
And to answer your question above - I can't tell if we've moved the incoming emails to a local folder. Perhaps that happened when the email was set up (a long time ago). I just assumed that if it appears on the iPad, then it should appear on the iCloud.
The iPhone settings would not let me slide the email slider to "ON": does that block the emails somehow?
Thanks for any help or thoughts -

I try to import contact from sim card, but could not do, can any one help?

i try to import contact from sim card, but could not do, can any one help?

Either the contacts were not actually stored on the SIM, the SIM memory is defective, or they are in a format not useable by the iPhone.
Go to one of your carrier's stores. Most carriers have equipment that can do this, see if they can extract them for you.

Family share isn't working - we set it up and it was working fine for a few weeks then in the last few days it's stopped, we can't see the other members in our family share and it says we aren't set up but it doesn't allow us to confirm and reset up

Help! We set up family share a few weeks ago, and it was working fine with the organizer and two additional members. The three of us could see each other on app and iTunes stores and could view each other's purchased items. Then ... All of that disappeared. We cant see each other's profiles any more and we definitely can't view any purchased items. In addition, when we try to go in and jump start by downloading a free app or logging out and back of itunes, nothing works. It seems to show we have family sharing in the iCloud settings, and when we click the Apple ID it asks us to confirm, and we confirm, and are asked if we want to change accounts because then we trigger the 90 day freeze period. And we aren't changing any accounts - just trying to confirm the same accounts to get family share to work! We are all on the same ios 8.1.3 and os, so I don't know what else to try!

No, I am a media professional who uses his MacBook Pro to connect to external monitors, and needs to continue to do so. I don't want Apple TV. I want my laptop to work again, like it's supposed to. Like it used to.
I have a demonstration this week at work that requires me to plug into an LCD screen and I am hoping to have this resolved by then. I am trying to convince my department to buy a Retina Mac and thousands of dollars worth of video software for live shows, and if I can't make it work, then I can't exactly convince them (or myself) to buy what I have been researching.
Again, I don't want wireless video or Apple TV. I don't want to buy any more stuff. I want to know why my Thunderbolt to HDMI cable stopped working after my update, and how to fix it...preferably before this meeting.

IPhone 4 with Facetime. How can I see the other party instead of myself?

Several scenarios; same result:
1. Normal call comes in from another party using an iPhone 4 (like mine).
     a. I answer and press Facetime.
     b. She presses Facetime.
     Result: I see myself. She sees herself
2. I call her from my Contacts list by pressing the FaceTime button.
     a. Her phone rings and rings (as I hear it, not her).
     b. She never receives an indication that I am trying to FaceTime her.
     Result: Failure to connect.
3. She calls me from her Contacts list, same way, 3 times.
     a. My phone does not register her attempts.
     Result: Failure to connect.
4. I turn on my WiFi setting, as I am at home using the iPhone. I call her.
     a. She answers, presses FaceTime.
     b. I press FaceTime.
     Result: I see myself. She sees herself.
Note: She was not connected to WiFi at the time. Was this the mysterious key to our lack of success?
By what settings and methods can we get to see each other? (She lives across the country... I'd love to see her.)

A FaceTime call can be done when both devices are connected to an available wi-fi network only.
This will change with iOS 6 to be released this fall which will include the option to FaceTime when connected via 3G, not just wi-fi.

My MacBook Air (2011) and my iMac (2008) can no longer see each other.

Hi
My WiFi is via a TimeCapsule which seems to work perfectly well with the Apple TV, Hot plugs for the TV and my iPhone/iPad but my two computers (above with Mavericks operating system) can't see each other any more. It's been about a week now. I have restarted both of them but to no avail. My MacBook Air has alternate backups to a local USB connected hard drive and Time Capsule and both are working fine. I've tried looking in System Preferences to see if something's turned off but can't find what I'm looking for. I tried changing the settings in Airport Utility but that made things worse so I've reverted to the original "Bridge Off" mode. What has happened or have I inadvertently turned off?
Many thanks

Hi,
I can see that Accounts/Screen Names can get messed up on the various flags set by an App to and therefore On the AIM servers.
What I can not see in this case is why it seems to be limited to just one Buddy on each computer.
As the Block list (And therefore presumably Allow Lists) are not actually shown in the .p0list I ma hoping that deleting it and restarting ichat at one end at least will reset that iChat form the Defaults haled in the app when you do this.
(you could delete that Account Screen Name from iChat ? Preferences > Accounts to achieve the same things in a more destructive way as it would tend to rewrite all the .plists which may included Jabber ones that are OK
We both did delete our screen names in iChat, and also deleted ALL the prefs manually.
Also, we've tried using entirely different computers to log-in to those same accounts, with the same results - somehow we're blocked from each other.
I think we're both giving up at this stage. We have additional accounts we can use to see each other. But it would be really nice to get to the bottom of it, because if it happens once it can happen again. Who knows? Maybe there are other people in my buddy list that this is happening with right now, but we don't know it. This person just happens to be someone I chat with a lot, and we noticed we weren't seeing each other.

jpmarkques post is a good start point, after folling his directions, you can try detect displays. Also try different rsolution and refresh rates.
Most of the projectors I have used support a 1024X768 res.
Youcan also try a pram reset if it still does not detect.
Leave theproctor connected and powered up, power down the MBP.
Power back up the MBP and hold the following keys before you hear the start up chime:
Option, command, P,R (no commas) continue to hold these keys till you hear the start up chime 2 times.

Can any of my contacts see my other contacts?
