Contact name does not appear in "from" column, only email appears

I have a contact for which there is an address book entry that contains a physical address, AIM/MSN, and email. However, in my inbox in the "from" column this person's full email address instead of their name appears. When I open the message, the contact's name is correctly displayed in the "from" line. Why is there this discrepancy? How can I fix this?

I have the same problem with Tiger mail. Some, not all, of my Address Book contacts appear with the full email address and not the contact name in my Inbox. If I open the email, the correct contact name then appears. However, if I attempt to reply to this individual using the reply button, the resulting email address that appear in my email message is not accurate and is some corrupted iteration of the correct email address. I have looked at the raw source for these incoming messages and the email address that appears there is fine (just like I have entered in Address Book). Any ideas?? Thanks.

  • Contact name does not appear after upgrading to iOS 5

    I recently upgraded to iOS 5 and after doing so, contact name does not appear when someone calls; but text messages the name appears. I have saved all my contacts under +9 format. 

    This indicates that the phone was carrier locked and had been 'hacked' to unlock it. Updating the phone has re-locked it to the original carrier.
    ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Not all do so. Contact the carrier and find out what their policy is.
    If it's locked to AT&T, you may as well sell it and buy a new phone. AT&T will not unlock iPhones for any reason.

  • When someone messages me their contact name does not show up as how i saved them!!! does this mean someone has access to my phone?

    When I get a message from my friend, her contact name does not show up the way I saved her and I am wondering if someone has hacked my phone or something

    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?

  • When receiving a call on my iPhone 4s the contact name does not appear

    when receiving a call on my iphone 4s the conact name does not appear

    This should fix it:
    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 to verify that it's fixed.

  • I am trying to create a new Apple password but Apple does not recognize my one and only email so stuck on a merry-go-round. Any suggestions?

    I am trying to create a new Apple password but Apple doe not recognize my one and only email address, so I'm stuck on this merry-go-round. Any suggestions?

    inabird
    you haven't told us what "Park" the "merry-go-round" is in
    tell us what actions you take to get Apple not to recognize your email address...
    Are you formatting it correctly? - username @ someDomain .com <- NO Spaces (I did it so the system wouldn't make an email link out of it)
    Tell us what happens when you realize  that Apple is "not recognizing" your email. What message do you get, exactly? Take screenshot of the entire screen for context

  • N82 - contact name does not appear !!

    When I receive a text, normally the name of my contact appears.
    In a few cases only the contact's mobile number comes up and I cannot get the N82 to recognise that it is the same person.
    Is there a trick to this ?

    This happens when you have a duplicated entry in your contacts.
    For example you have "01234567890" saved as "Mum" and you also have it saved as "Dad". The phone has no way of knowing which contact is calling so it only displays the number.
    Check for duplicate entries and remove them. If you don't find any duplicates compare a contact that works against one that doesn't and see if anything looks different in the number format, like a country code.

  • Name does not show incoming calls, but only the number

    Hi, i have a BB 9300 with OS6 brand wind italia. this is my problem:
    -sometimes when my rubric contact call me i can't seeyour name, but only your telephone number. I noticed that is common when the phone is locked with password.
    I called the support, but I have not receives assistance!
    I also replaced the device, but the new one is equal.

    Sorry for my bad english

    It sounds as though you have content protection enabled on your address book. To disable this feature in OS6, search for "Encryption" within Options. Uncheck the "Include contacts" box.

  • 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.

  • CDs loaded, Artist name does not appear in ARTISTS list

    Among all the CDs I've loaded and songs purchased, I have 2 Carly Simon
    CDs on my video iPod. However, Carly Simon's name does not appear in my
    list of ARTISTS in the Music Menu.
    I did a sync with my iTunes list and the songs are indeed loaded.
    Why is her name missing from the list and how do I get it back?
    It used to be there!
    Thanks-

    I just found the answer on the discussion board.
    In my SETTINGS I had compilations turned on.
    When I switched it off, Carly Simon was back in my
    ARTISTS list.

  • HT4623 person contact image does not appear while on a call,why?

    person contact image does not appear while on a call,why?

    when you say "Re-upload the image", do you mean reinsert it, or re-link it?
    Neither.
    Re-upload it to the web server from your local hard drive. In DW, click on the image file in the Files panel then click the Up arrow to Put the image to the server.
    If that does not work, do as Nancy suggests and re-create the image in your image editor then re-upload.

  • Cannot forward email message. Contact list does not appear to select. Can reply to sender only

    When trying to forward an email message, the contact list does not appear. It can
    only be forwarded by entering addresses manually. I can return an email by replying
    but I cannot forward under the Mozilla Fox server.
    When I am in Internet Explorer I can utilize the email forward without a problem.
    Contacted AT & T to see if it was their problem, since I use att.net.
    The technician stated it was a problem with Mozilla because it was not compatible
    with the AT & T net work. It could possibly be in recent updates, since I just
    discovered the problem within the last week.
    Would prefer to enter my email through Mozilla Fox. So can you solve this problem
    for me.

  • Some of my contact names are not appearing when they text message me.  They are just showing up as their numbers. I have them saved in my phone so i am not really sure why their names aren't showing up when they message me?

    I have this identical problem.  For a while my group texts didnt show up on my ipad.  Then one day they did, maybe everyone in the group started using the same os version or something.  Ever since my first reply to the group there have been complaints of multiple threads.  I can not find a pattern for when my group text's decide they want to create a new thread. (it doesnt happen every time)  Everyone in the group has deleted the thread, we've all toggled imessage on/off etc.  There still hasn't been a solution.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • " plug-in name does not support the highest level of security for Safari plug-ins" appear for some plugins in Safari Security "Manage Website Settings"?

    Hi,
    Wondering why "<plug-in name> does not support the highest level of security for Safari plug-ins" appear for some plugins in Safari > Security > "Manage Website Settings"?
    Have been trying to get to the root cause of the problem but did not find much on this. I am trying to figure out what can get the warning to go away completely than using the Allow/Always Allow options for the plug-in
    Thanks,
    Shyam

    Hi Linc,
    Thank you for your response. Here is the screenshot of the warning that I am talking about.
    Here is what I do:
    1. Launch Safari and open its Preferences. I have Safari 7.1 installed on my machine.
    2. Click Security Tab and click Manage WebSite Settings
    3. A window opens showing me all the Plug-ins that I have (listed on the left hand side).
    4. One of them is the Adobe Reader plug-in. When I click Adobe Reader, the following details about the plug-in show up on the right
    I was referring to the highlighted section that warns me about this plug-in not using the highest level of security for Safari Plug-ins.
    Note: I do not see this for all my plug-ins (QuickTime, Adobe Flash Player don't give me this warning) which tells me that there is a way to make the warning go away.
    Thanks again,
    Shyam
