Contact names have disappeared on iPhone 4 (iOS 7)
Recently the iMessage and Facetime toggle on my iPhone 4 had been switching itself to off under settings without me doing so. I had started getting a message asking me to login to iCloud on the days leading up to this, so I thought perhaps iCloud had something to do with the toggle switching itself off.
So I went to the iCloud settings and switched off contacts as it was the only thing I had on trying to fix this message problem, and immediately it deleted the names from my messages from people with iPhones and displayed only their number. I have tried switching it back on and off multiple times now, but the names do not come back.
The contact names are still listed correctly in contacts with the phone numbers, but when I send a message or receive a call I can no longer see the name.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I have tried just about everything I have seen online... restarting/resetting/deleting the messages/turning iCloud contacts on etc., but nothing I do makes the names come back.
And now it doesn't even back up through iTunes anymore

My contact names have disappeared
My contact names on my iPhone have disappeared in my messages and phone calls only the phone number shows?????
If with an Apple iCloud account, after confirming your iCloud online contacts are correct by logging in with your iCloud account with a browser on your computer, on your iPhone go to Settings > iCloud. Turn Contacts off for over the air syncing. If provided a prompt to save contacts locally on your iPhone, decline.
After confirming there are no contacts or no iCloud contacts available in the Contacts app on your iPhone, turn Contacts back on for over the air syncing with your iCloud account settings on your iPhone. -
I've had issues before with upgrades and now I was skeptical of doing the latest upgrade.
10.7.1..... **** I've got the latest ios and it's messed my contacts up. Sticking all emails and removing some business contacts numbers so it's been a night mare to run for the last week or so. I don't even see which is important calls or not I just get "no number."
Anyone know a work around or must I wait for the next "upgrade/fix"?
Andrew1. Purchase your new hard drive and an external enclosure.
2. Put your new hard drive in the external enclosure.
3. Connect the external hard drive to your mac (FW or USB).
4. Use Carbon Copy Cloner (http://www.bombich.com/) to clone your internal drive to the external drive.
5. Take the new hard drive out of the external enclosure.
5. Open your computer, pull the hard drive out of your Mac.
6. Put the new hard drive into your mac. Close it up. Turn it on. It should boot right up.
7. Put your smaller drive in the external enclosure and use it for backup, extra storage or whatever. -
IMessage displays my email address instead of contact name on other peoples iPhone

My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.
The dark bar is caused by the option "Show metadata below image".
Check the settings for the metadata overlays in Grid view (basic and expanded) by clicking the little "badge" icon below the Browser and selecting "Edit". Is the filename still enabled in the list? And in a high enough position to have precedence for other metadata tags, if the space does not suffice to show all selected tags?

All iPhones sold in Japan are carrier locked. The Japanese carriers do not offer unlocking.
You can not use that phone on a carrier other than the one it is locked to.
Sell it and buy one you can use. -
Audio clip names have disappeared
Hi,
I've just opened a project & all of the audio clip names have disappeared. I've tried deleting the waveform cache; deleting the preferences using FCP rescue; re-booting & zapping the P-Ram; and even tried opening up earlier auto-save versions of the project.
It only seems to apply to this project; I've tried opening other projects and they're fine.
Any suggestions?
CheersNeil Sinclair - you're the man!!!
thanks for that - this one had me completely tricked. I don't know how that selection got flicked over (I hadn't come anywhere close to touching it - I haven't opened that menu in a little while).
So, thank you very much!
Cheers

The playlists I created have disappeared after updating to iOS 7.1. I have not backed up this phone to a computer - only backing up with iCloud. Is there a way to recover my playlists?
Dictation in text message = Does not work
Speaking with Siri via activated with Home button = Does not work
Speaking with Siri with "Raise to Speak' = WORKS
Voice Memos = WORKS
Speaker phone on call = WORKS
Voice control instead of Siri = WORKS
I've tried hard reset, settings reset, wiping and reloading backup...nothing. Was hoping 7.1 might offer some respite, but no dice....
I was hoping 7.1 would somehow solve it. -

I bought an iphone 5 from one of my friends and unluckily I had yet lost his contact, I had update this iphone to IOs 7 and now it's be locked at iCloud because there was no password . Actually I dont know what I must do for its. Experts, please help me!
The friend who sold it to you needed to clear his Apple ID off the phone before he sold it to you. Of course if it wasn't his phone in the first place then he could not do so. He is your friend but you don't know where he is?
There is nothing that will help you short of getting the password for the Apple ID from your friend. If you cannot obtain that there is no workaround. -

How do I find all my contacts that have disappeared from my iphone and computer?
I have an iphone 4s IOS 8.02 and a 27" late 2013 Imac OSX 10.9.5. All my contacts have disappeared.
Where did they go? How do I get them back?If you are syncing them with iCloud, try going to Settings>iCloud on your phone, turn Contacts off, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted, then turn it back on and choose Merge.
If that didn't restore them, you may be able to restore them from your iCloud backup by following this user tip: Recovering deleted iCloud contacts from an iCloud backup. -

I have upgraded my iPhone 4S to iOS 5.1 and now cannot access the camera from a locked screen. Anyone have any suggestions?
From the lock screen, to access the camera you touch the camera icon and slide in an upward motion. It no longer takes a tap to get it to open.
