Contact does not show up as imessage
Hey
I got an iphone 6 with ios 8.1.3 but never had any problems with imessage. It always works fine.
My colleague, who has an iphone 5s (software i'm assuming up to date, both work for a tech company), cannot seem to send me imessages and vice versa. Instead we both see just the green message.
We both have our imessage option switched on, but for some reason my (or her) device does not recognize our numbers as imessage compatible. While we both have no troubles with other contacts. I tried to delete her contact information and add her to my contacts again, still nothing happens. I even switched off imessage and then switched it back on, nothing.
Why is this happening and how can we change this?
That is what I am trying to work through. I understand you are seeing it in Notifications, that was what I was trying to confirm. When you open the message, what is displaying on the phone, Juan? Is Notification the only place that you are seeing this name differently? And yes, if you have the name saved as John, it should display as John. How are you backing up/syncing your contacts? Are you using a supported application on the computer, or are you using a cloud service, such as iCloud? If you go into your contacts and look in the upper left corner of the application, does it list more than one source for your contacts? Do you have more than one person with the same phone number listed in contacts, similar to having two people that work at the same place? Is the Notification only displaying a first name and no last name? Do you have first names only in your contacts?

I am very frustrasted with trying to get my iophne 5c contacts list to sync with my icloud contact list. The new contacts I add to my iphone do not show up in my icloud contacts. What am I doing wrong?
If your default account was set to iCloud in settings, it should be created in the iCloud account regardless of how you create it on the phone.
Try adding a new test contact using the contacts app, then go to icloud.com from your computer and see if it appears there now.
Also, what accounts were listed in the Default Account setting on your phone besides iCloud? (Don't post your email addresses, just tell me what providers were listed there, such as On My iPhone, Gmail, Yahoo, Exchange, etc.) -

Contact pictures not showing on iPhone in iMessage
Hello, my contact picture and my mother-in-law's contact picture does not show in iMessage on our iPhones. The pictures show up on our iPads though. How would we fix this?
This is not a feature on the phone but is on the ipad.

When using the iphone 6 Plus. I use iMessage and then attach a photo or take a photo... the app does not show the camera fully or even to attach a photo does not work. I have about 8-9000 phones and like 10 short videos in there but it is incredibly slow and almost unable. I have the 128GB iPhone 6 Plus with 46 gb still available. I think this should not be so slow with so much memory still available. Please help. I am using 8.1.2. Yes I have set up the phone as a new phone. Apple store even reformatted this iphone 6 plus 2 months ago but it is still terribly slow Thanks
Hey Bender1031,
Thanks for the question, I can definitely understand how frustrating this issue may be with a brand new phone. Great troubleshooting so far by already attempting a restart and reset. If the issue persists, let’s try restoring your device and updating to the latest software (iOS 8.0.2):
Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
- If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.
- If the issue is now resolved, sync one type of content at a time back to the device. For example, if you had an issue playing music, add songs from iTunes and confirm they will play. If your contacts weren't loading successfully, add the contacts back. After each sync, test to see if the issue has returned.
Thanks,

Hello I send imessages to a phone number I receive delivery notice but sms does not show on receiving phone. Otherwise when receive imessage from other phone I reply and receiver sees SMS !!! Any explanation ?
To my knowledge, I've only seen this for imessage only and not SMS.
The other users would need to have send read receipts enabled on their phone. -
I've a new account on iMac. When composing an email the contact list does not show up on the bar, which would allow me to select the persons I want to include on the distribution of the email. When I start keying in a name in the email, it comes up with the person's address, which shows it is synced. How do I engage the contact list from the email like I do on my old account (where a contact list icon shows up, along with the "attach" and other icons) ?
With the New Message window open, go to the View menu and select "Customize Toolbar...".
In the screen that opens, drag the item labelled "Address" into the Toolbar area of the New Message window, then click the "Done" button.
That item should be then added to the Toolbar for the New Message window.
Note that the main Mail window and the New Message window (as well as the separate message window if you open a message that way) use different toolbars - the settings/inclusions for one do not carry over to another. -
After upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS6, my Find My Friends app no longer links to my Contacts and does not show contact names. It only shows e-mail addresses and does not link up to the corresponding email address in my Contacts. How can I fix this?
I am also having problems with a site I am building. No matter what websafe font I use it displays as New Times Roman in FireFox. The correct fonts show in both IE9 and Chrome.
In addition, text shifts in FireFox. I have to position other text objects farther and farther apart as I go down the page or they start to overlap. Nav buttons and other images also have to be positioned in the wrong place for them to be in the correct place when the page is opened in FireFox. FireFox should display pages correctly by default. I can't expect th average user to have to tweek his/her settings to display my site.
I have been recommending FireFox on my website as the best browser. I might have to change that and abandon FireFox myself. -
My contact list does not show all my contacts.
My contact list does not show all my contacts. If I keypad a number not shown in the contacts it does know who that contact is. What can I do to show all contacts? I have 352 contacts in the phone.
Do you have different Groups for contacts? For example, perhaps you have some contacts stored on the device, some associated with a Yahoo account, and others associated with an Exchange account. If you have multiple groups like this, tap the "Groups" button at the top-left corner in Contacts and see if you're looking at only a subset of your contacts. There is an option to view "All Contacts", which summarizes them all for you.

I have an I phone 4s and I have many contacts in my phone. However, when my phone rings or I receive a message. The phone does not show the name of the caller. It only shows the phone number that is calling. I am sure this is a setting problem, but I have checked every setting I can think of. Any suggestions??
If you are a Verizon user try this:
Open the phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating "Settings updated."
Double tap the Home button to bring up the recently used apps list at the bottom. Locate the Phone, Message, and Contacts apps, swiping if necessary, and press and hold until they jiggle then press the red minus sign to stop them.
Wait a 3-5 minutes.
Try your phone again and see if it's fixed. -

PROTECT DOES NOT SHOW CONTACTS IN BACKED UP DATA; 8530
Hello, when I attempted to restore my data from Blackberry Protect I do not see CONTACTS in the list of data that has been backed upand available to be restored.
I checked the under OPTIONS in the app menu to verify that I had selected contacts and as I thought "All Supported Data", which includes Contacs is chosen.
When I look on the website, it does NOT show contacts in the restore area.
Whats going on?

HT3529 Messages does not show Add Contact
Using iPhone 4S with iOS8. When I touch Details in a message, it does not show the Add Contact, and does not allow to change the name of a group.
Is this down to it being on the 4S?HI,
iChat and Messages can Display the pics that are in the Contacts/Address book list.
If you have Chat window is open in iChat then the View Menu Show Buddy Pics is the first port of call.
For Messages and iChat the next is the View Menu > Messages > Show Buddy Pics and Names.
The Show Pics and Names items also works for Buddy list in either app.
For AIM Buddies this will tend to be the On Line broadcast pic of the moment.
It can the pic in the Card in the Contacts List (Or Address Book)
In the case of your Own Pic this in fact can have been called from System Preferences > User and Groups (formerly Accounts) .
All of them can be changed individually, so for yourself in the Mac Account pic, the Contacts > My Card and Messages Buddy Pic can have different pics set to them.
I don't have a Facebook Account so I can't say if the Contact's pulling of Pics is what is causing them not to show in Messages.
I suspect the general option to display them is not On.

Entry in contact list does not show up when you try to edit the list in v4
When clicking the "To" box for a new message I have as the last entry a name in bold that is not something I recognize and when going into my contact list so as to remove it, it does NOT show up.
How do I get rid of it? IE: find it so as to delete it. Search in windows 7 does not locate the file. Below is header when asking for source.

hi im new apple ,ac book pro user ..Bought a mac 3 weeks before my mac does not show serial number on screen .Also I am unable to sign in imessage n facetime it gives network error like though i can access web site n etc .! What can be this issue n how to solve it??
Hi,
If the machine is brand new I don't see why the serial Number is missing (it is entered on to a special chip at the factory)
However if the machine is a return and has been refurbished then the Logic/mother board may have been changed and someone forgot to put the info back to the new board.
for the Points
