Contact list name showing up as my name

When using Find my Friends someone in my contacts list is showing up over mine when I am using Find my Friends and going to my location how do I get it to be my name?

My contacts were still in place after upgrading to 5, but I could not get into them. Clicking on a name would just freeze the Address Book. Some other thread here suggested the "soft reset", holding down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and power cycling the phone. That solved the problem for me.

How do I get the contacts number to show next to their name please?

It's my first time having a Blackberry. I have the Curve 8520. I've been trying to work this out for 3 days and it's driving me nuts!
What I'm trying to do is to send a text message to my contacts, informing them of my new number. I know I can only send a message to 10 people at a time and also how to add them to the message but can't for the life of me work out how to add their numbers next to their names in the contacts list. I'm used to Ericcsson where this is easy to change in the settings Display options. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have done the following:
You can change how your contacts appear in all applications, including the phone, message list, contact list, and calendar.
On the Home screen, click the Options icon.
Click Language.
Change the Name Display field.
Press the Menu key.
Click Save.
Language isn't in the Menu so I'm stumped.

Hi,
Sorry, but do you mean filename - not sure what file number you refer to?
For Filename, on the View menu ensure that Details and Show File Names are both checked. You may have to make the size of the thumbnails slightly larger (using the slider on the top of the windows) as the information can't be displayed if thumbnail too small.

Contacts sorted and dispalyed last name, first name - why when I access contacts via messaging do they display first name, last name?

Hi
It is when I tap on the +....

Why do my recently added contacts not show up in contacts list, but show up as contacts in a global search of my iphone?

I have an iPhone 3gs
I suspect that its not just newly created contacts that don't show up in my contacts list, but contacts I added through text message or missed calls. Again, they show up as contacts when I search my iphone for their name. I have never backed up my contacts from any of my mail accounts (people said they were having problem with exchange, and I recently deleted my exchange account). I am not using MobileMe.
When I sync with iTunes, and select Sync Address Book Contacts, I have "All Contacts" selected. The option to select "Selected Groups" is grayed out.
When I look at my groups in my Contacts list App, I am viewing under "All Contacts". There are no other group options.
This is a very annoying problem has anyone officially had it solved??

You can, but it's a bit involved and requires using an app. Probably not worth it for only 5 contacts. If you're interested in how you would do this, you would do the following:
Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (any iCloud contacts will still be in iCloud).
Download the app My Contacts Backup. (If you have more than 500 contacts to transfer you will need the “Pro” version.) Use the app to back up the remaining contacts on your phone (from the other accounts) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself. Confirm that you have received the email.
Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section) and set this to iCloud.
Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars…tap each of the other accounts you are syncing contacts with and turn off contacts syncing with these accounts (otherwise you will see duplicate contacts on your device).
Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from the other accounts back to your device, and to iCloud.

Contact list not showing up after upgrade to iOS5

Just upgraded to iOS5 now my contact list is blank but the contacts still show up on incoming calls and text messages. I have the iPhone4 and yes I have reset the phone. Any clue how to get them to list again in the contact area? Thanks for any help!

My contacts were still in place after upgrading to 5, but I could not get into them. Clicking on a name would just freeze the Address Book. Some other thread here suggested the "soft reset", holding down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and power cycling the phone. That solved the problem for me.

SkyDrive photos & contact list not showing in FF13

I have had FF for years & have been happy with it always until FF13 which has caused problems with my use of SkyDrive to share my photos. I have used SkyDrive for a long time too & never had issues until the recent FF13 update. I can use SKYDrive without any problems if I use IE as my browser but in FF13 some photos will not show in a slideshow unless you right-click & choose view original then a separate window opens for that one photo. It is random because if you start slideshow over it may be totally different photo(s) that will not show. Other thing that started since FF updated to 13 is that when I try to 'share' the slideshow my hotmail contacts list will no longer load although it will load if I switch to IE. This is clearly a problem related to FF13 since there is no problem in IE. I prefer to use FF but need it to work for SkyDrive. Please is there a patch for this or can you tell me what to do.

This is way too technical for me. I have no idea what that is nor do I feel comfortable fiddling with things I don't know anything about.
Thanks for your help but as I said in my last post I will use IE for sharing SkyDrive until the FF fix comes out.

My iphone 5c "all contacts" list suddenly shows groups in the upper left corner and has lost the phone numbers on most of them. how do I get them back?

The contacts list on my iphone 5c suddenly shows groups in the upper left hand corner of the all contacts list and many of the phone numbers no longer show. How do I get them back? I can't seem to get the groups word to disappear.

Hi there bvb913,
It sounds like you may have a group of contacts hidden. While in the Contacts app, tap Groups > Show All Contacts. Take a look at the User Guide below for more information.

PL SQL File Download - file name shows up as procedure name?

Hello,
I have been following the article below to create a download link to my db blobs, however when downloading the files, the file name appears as the procedure name as opposed to the desired file name.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10513_01/doc/appdev.310/e10497/up_dn_files.htm#CIHDDJGF
any ideas why this is happening?
Thanks,

I've been having this exact problem all morning and I haven't found a workaround yet. The example posted by ptjurley doesn't quite clarify it for me. I am trying to play a video located in a table using an embedded windows media player. I'm working off these instructions: http://iadvise.blogspot.com/2007/10/apex-implementing-video-on-your-apex.html
This is the code for the otherwise blank HTML region on the page:
<object id="MediaPlayer" width=320 height=286 classid="CLSID:22D6f312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95" standby="Loading Windows Media Player components..." type="application/x-oleobject" codebase="http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=6,4,7,1112">
<param name="filename" value="#OWNER#.download_video_file?p_file_id=935">
<param name="Showcontrols" value="True">
<param name="autoStart" value="True">
<embed type="application/x-mplayer2" src="#OWNER#.download_video_file?p_file_id=935" name="MediaPlayer" width=720 height=540></embed>
</object>
Even when the filename and embed source is left blank like this: <param name="filename" value=""> I get the same error when trying to load the page. How exactly was this problem fixed, if it was resolved? I assume it's something to do with APEX not recognizing that #OWNER# is a variable within the HTML region, but I could be wrong.
Also, the code for my procedure differs from the example given in the above link, since APEX didn't like the way it was written. This is the download_video_file procedure I am trying to run:
create or replace PROCEDURE download_video_file(p_file_id IN HOMEPAGE_PHOTOS.id%TYPE) as
v_mime VARCHAR2(48);
v_length NUMBER;
v_file_name VARCHAR2(2000);
Lob_loc BLOB;
BEGIN
SELECT blob_content, mime_type, dbms_lob.getlength(blob_content) file_length, name
INTO Lob_loc,v_mime,v_length,v_file_name
FROM HOMEPAGE_PHOTOS
WHERE id = p_file_id;
owa_util.mime_header(v_mime, FALSE);
htp.p('Content-length: '||v_length);
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="'||replace(replace(substr(v_file_name,instr(v_file_name, '/')+1),chr(10),null),chr(13),null)||'"');
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file(Lob_loc);
end download_video_file;

Contacts list not showing

I have 191 contacts in my personal list. But something happened and now when I click on the bookmarks icon it takes me to add a contact and I cannot access my contacts. HEL! lol thanks

Bookmarks icon takes you to add a contact? Strange.
Bookmarks are located in your browser.
Do this... With the BlackBerry device powered ON, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to reboot.
Now, once back up and running, go to your Address Book, and open it. See your contacts?
OH, and Roll Tide.

I've a new account on iMac. When composing an email the contact list does not show up on the bar. WWhen I start keying in a name, it comes up with the address. How do I engage the contact list from the email?

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.

First name and last name order in contact list

Actually, my contact list is displayed with the last name before the first name, but everything is fine in Address Book settings (I choosed "First name, Last name" option), and I checked that first name and last name has not been reversed for some reasons between two fields, the first name is right in place, as is the last name.
So changing this is AddressBook has no effect.
I tried disabling Chax, without success.
It could be possible this problem occured when I enabled Microsoft Exchange address book synchronization, (iSync reported 500+ changes in AB database, I did it anyway and noticed no problems in data after synchronization (I still have a backup :-))
One more thing , the displayed name in the iChat menu extra is correct.
So, what could possibly change this behavior I did not already check ?

Hi Yann,
If you add details to the Address card in iChat as you add a Buddy then you need the first set of instructions I posted.
You nee this menu in iChat http://www.flickr.com/photos/90943061@N00/135575605/
In the second section of this menu you can sort the list.
<hr>
Ahhh. I see what you mean.
iChat does in fact always display First Name, Last Name as you say.
Adding a Buddy with the names in the reverse order to display as you want in iChat your Address book gets messed up as it is not consistent with those contacts that are not iChat Buddies.
The only work around I can see is to change all the Address Book entries to match a reverse entry in iChat and then use the Address Book option to display Last Name, First name to show them the 'correct' Fist name, Last name and have them in Last name, First name in iChat.

Old contacts showing up in siri and text search results but not in contacts list.

So what I did was this. I had mobile me, and iphone ocntacts as well as contacts on phone. After updating to IOS5, i had tripples of almost all my contacts (but not all). I converted my mobile me to icloud to discover i couldnt use that email under my new official icloud accoutn as my @me.com adress. So what i did was this. I deleted my old mobile me (now icloud account) compleatly from my phone, my iPad and my computer so there is no trace of it. I then went to my new iCloud account (that i will now use as my only icloud account. going to let the old mobile me one just die so i have 1 central spot for all my stuff). Now all my contacts are gone. So to start fresh and just be done with the confusion, i go to www.icloud.com and manually (by hand) re type in all my contacts. I updated some info and changed some names (like nicknames and stuff like that to real names). Basiclly compleatly organizing my contacts and such to the way i want them. Getting rid of poeple i no longer talk to and such. I did it, it syned and all was well. However now here is hte problem.
If i go to spotlight search, or text search, or search with siri, or any type of search function, all of my old contacts are still there and viewable. All the ones i wanted to get rid of are all still there. However, if i go to contacts and look for thoes old contacts, they are not in the contact list (yes iv checked every "group" and also "all contacts" in groups). What i want is to figure out how to get all of these old contacts compleatly deleated so they dont show up anywere on my phone. Especially with siri its making searches and auto calling more difficult because its finding two contacts sometimes that are the same person and asks me to distinguish instead of jsut calling. CAn anybody help?
Sorry for the wall of text, wanted to make sure to give as much info on the specifics as possible so hopefully i can get this resolved. Is this a bug or something i did wrong? can i fix it or do i just have to wait for an update?
P.S.
Iv since upgraded to iphone 4S and still happening. Also this does NOT happen on my iPad. Only my iPhone.

Talked to AppleCare for about an hour. After trying many steps: deleting contacts, re downloading from cloud, disabling Siri and re enabling, even Reset all Settings. Nothing worked. Ended up having to restore the phone via Erase All Content and Settings. That of course fixed it.
Not sure what the issue was. I did have a Mobile Me account before the iCloud migration. For some reason, my contacts would appear in Contacts on the phone and in the cloud only once, but when using Siri it would list 2 or 3 duplicate contacts. Also after we deleted all the contacts on the phone, did an iPhone reset (Home and On/off buttons), my contacts list would show empty. Then I would click on Groups and poof all of a sudden duplicate or triplicate contacts would be in the contacts list.
Very strange.

Why don't all of my contacts show in my contact list?

when i'm writing a text i can add contacts by typing in their name in the search bar at the top, however alot of these copntacts dont show up in my contact list
my contact list only shows 68 contacs however there should be more like 150 in there! can anybody help as this is really frustrating when i need to look for a particular contact!!!!

Ahh.. I think I misunderstood your issue before... In text it timestamps the first message, then if you are going back and forth and back and forth it doesnt fill up with timestamps, but if you wait 15 minutes or more between messages, then the next one will be timestamped.... so if you dont see it timestamped, it was within 15 min of the last message.
I hope this answers..

8350 Contact List View Options

On my 8350, when I view the contact list, it shows each entry on two lines, leaving a lot of blank space on the screen. Is there a way to make it show only one line (contact name) in the view so I can see more on the screen? I cannot find such an option in the settings. Thanks!

you can't do that. It's a new feature of the OS 4.5 that was shipped with your device. It is seen by RIM as a visual enhancement from previous OS versions.
