Contact names change to facebook names

As the tite suggests, my contact names change to their facebook names, I have to contiunessly change certian names back, namely 'mum', I'd much rather call my mother that than her real name.
How do I stop the contacts from reverting to facebook names ever few hours?

If you go to Settings - Facebook you have an option to turn off Contacts.
All it does is not add your Facebook friends to your contacts on your phone, which theoretically should solve your problem of the names being changed.
Sorry the solution isn't more precise to your problem but it should at least work as a temporary fix

  • Computer name change and Network name

    Recently I changed my computer name from "XY Z's Computer" to one without the dreaded apostrophe and the spaces.
    I did this in Sharing under Computer Name:
    However, after doing this and rebooting, the new name is there - good - but if in Sharing Preferences, I click Internet Sharing and then click Airport Options, my original name is there, under the title, Network name:
    Is there a single location where these changes can be made simultaneously?
    Are there any other places where one might find the original computer name?
    Is this a bug or simply something not well-documented that I should have known about?

    i'd like to know how to do this also

    This would indicate that the text is possibly part of a template file....so you would have to change the code in the template file.
    Does the page have any Dreamweaver template mark up in it?

  • The Facebook app on my iPad will not let me access my account. I was recently married so my Facebook name changed and I updated my password. Now when I go into Facebook under settings and try to access my account it is still using the old name.

    I got married, changed my Facebook name and gave my account a new password. Now, under settings and Facebook they have my ITunes/Apple ID and under it says "please sign in using (my old Facebook name) and under that is password. Only that old Facebook name has changed but did not update on my iPad settings. Also it will not accept my new password. I cannot erase it. If Apple doesnt want us to use more than one account, what do we do in this situation? Or if our Facebook gets hacked and becomes compromised? This is not okay. I have to be able to access this and because it will accept only one and will not update changes I cannot longer access my account. I buy a lot of Apple products. I won't buy another if it's not corrected. This is horribly frustrating. Not to mention waiting on youtube videos to load is almost as bad as waiting on dial-up. But that's another matter. Is there a way around this or do I need to start looking for products somewhere else? Anyone know? Thanks.

    You need to reset the password for the "old" account, and then use that to turn off iCloud.  Then you will be able to sign in with your new ID.
    You can reset your password at iForgot.apple.com.
    If you don't know the answers to the security questions, you will need to start there.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
    -If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com.  Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE:  This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
    -If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address.  Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security.  You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.
    -If you are not in the US, click http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 - Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

  • Contacts uses Facebook names after connecting to iTunes everytime, what to do, that it always uses the iCloud names?

    When friends use a different name in Facebook, than what the real name is, I told my iPhone to use the name like I entered it for the iCloud contact.
    Anytime I connect my iPhone with iTunes it automatically changes back the names to the Facebook ones, and I have to change it again manually for like 50 contacts, that is very very annoying! How can I change it that the iPhone should use the iCloud names for every contact or at least for the one with different Facebook/real names as default?

    I would use iTunes Home Sharing to share the song you have and she can then add it to her library. Although, it seems as if she has never had a library since the phone was never connected to iTunes. My understanding of using iCloud is that for her to use a song that isn't in iTunes, you have to use iTunes Match, and there is a cost involved in this. If her phone was synced to her own iTunes library on a computer, you could use the Home Sharing as I indicated earlier.

  • Skype Account contact list and skype name changed

    Hi!
    I have been actively using my skype account again lately and one time last week when I signed in, I just cannot. My username and password are correct. And so what I did was to reset my password. I was able to reset my password through my email and when I signed in to Skype, I found out that my skype account was "hacked", I think. My skype name, profile photo and contact list changed into somebody else's account.
    I just want to ask what has happened to my account? Why did that happened? The username and contact list that appears to my account, I think, was leggit and not an act  of hacking. Could it be possibly that our accounts switched?

    Hi, DaisyrieDumali, and welcome to the Community,
    Your report reads to me like your account was compromised (hacked).  If you still have control of it, sign on to the account dashboard and change your account's registered e-mail address to something else, and then change the password. 
    Also, as a proactive measure, ensure your computer's software and patches are updated, and run your preferred anti-virus/malware/spyware program using the most recent virus signature files available.
    If you have lost access to your account, you may need to create a new account to use so you can contact Skype Customer Service in order to recover the first account.  Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    Skype is aware of lingering problems with the website when contacting their customer service agents. If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service or find yourself redirected back to the Community, please try again using a different web browser and choosing a different path through the various drop-down menu options presented. Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also block reaching an agent.
    Regards,
    Elaine

    you would need to setup a VPN and tunnel into your office.

    My contacts are listed by telephone numbers instead of names in my messages since I upgraded to OS8? How can I change it to names?l,

    Under Settings->Messages->Send & Receive
    1) is your Apple ID listed there?
    2)  Under "You can be reached..." is your phone number appearing at the top of the list and does it have a checkmark next to it?
    3) Under "Start New Conversation From" is the checkmark next to your phone number?

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

  • Cannot contact user after a name change

    One of our users got married and changed her last name.  My colleagues changed her name and alias in AD and in Exchange, and they changed her email address, keeping the old address as a secondary SMTP address in Exchange.  I ran the following command
    on the Lync server:
    Set-CsUser -Identity "CN=JNewname,OU=HQ,DC=Corp,DC=Com" -SipAddress sip:[email protected]
    After the user logged off the Domain and then logged back on, she could log in to Lync and could initiate an IM conversation with me.  However, I still cannot contact her.  She was never in my favorites list, and when I start typing her new alias,
    she shows up in my Lync client with her new name and then "Presence unknown".  When I try to initiate an IM conversation with her, my Lync client says "We couldn't send this message because we couldn't find Newname, Jane".
    I have tried deleting the Lync local cache from my client machine and still have the same errors.  What am I missing with this name change?
    Thank you very much for your help.

    Thank you!  That must have been what I should have done after I changed the sip address.  As it turns out, the contact had started working sometime before you posted this.  Does this update process take place automatically over time and the
    Update-CsAddressBook command would have forced the update immediately?  I had changed the sip address about 2 hours before I posted this question.
    Thanks so much for your help.  I will incorporate this into a memo I am writing for making a name change.

  • I have many contacts in address book from a certain company that just changed its name.  Is there a way to globally change all the contacts to the new company name all at once?

    Although clunky as you say, this sounds like a reasonably efficient way to accomplish what I was seeking.
    Address Book has no global find/replace. Bob Grove suggested one possible workaround; however, a grep-capable text editor (eg, TextWrangler) is better than TextEdit if complex strings are involved.
    An alternative is Bento (which is designed specifically to interact with the AB database), but it's not free.

  • HT3412 I want to send a Photo book to Belgium but I can't change the Country (now is Italy) in the shipping contacts  but only the address (name, street, city) and there is Italy fix. How can I do ?

    You can change the Print Store location from iTaly to Belium in iPhoto's Advanced preference pane:
    Then try to order.  HOWEVER, you still may not be able to order.  Over here in the States the shipping address must be in the same country as the billing address of the credit card used.  It may be the same way over in Europe.
    Give it a try and see. Let us know how you fare.

  • Just switched from Samsung Epic to iPhone 4s. Contacts were filed by first name, which I prefer.  But on the iPhone it's by last name.  Is there a way to change that?

    What I found: Go into SETTINGS - Click onto "MAIL,CONTACTS, CALENDARS" then scroll down to CONTACTS and you will see SORT ORDER and DISPLAY ORDER you can change it to first, last or last, first..
    Hope that helps.
