Contact names haven't transferred when updating to new iphone, Contact names haven't transferred when updating to new iphone
Hi guys...
Feeling really frustrated... I have a. New iPhone 5c and wanted to sync all from my old iPhone 4
I backed up iPhone to iCloud as well as computer . Contacts, messages , music all selected
But now , after I've synced and updated my new , Some Contacts numbers did transfer, others haven't ..others have the phone number, but their contacts details are blank.. Why is this and what can I do to fix.
When iOS. 7 came out it crashed during uploads nd I lost years of contact numbers, photos of holidays , everything
It's taken months to get all those numbers back. So don't wanna go through the same again of texting email ppl one by one to get there phone numbers again
Hope u can help
First thing to check: from a computer (you will not be able to get to it from Safari on your iPhone), go to www.icloud.com and verify the contact list there is complete. If not, the contacts did not sync properly from the old phone adn you may want to resync (turn contacts off in teh mail settings then back on).
Also, are all of the contacts strickly icloud, or did you sync from another source, such as gmail or FaceBook?

I get a message "The Itunes server could not be contacted, check your internet connection" when trying to check for Ipod Nano software updates. I have a 1st generation Nano and haven't updated the software for a while. My internet connection is working. Was thre a change in the internet address for NANO software updates? Do I have to reconfigure something in Itunes to point to the correct address?
What version of iTunes are you using? The latest is 10.6.3. In iTunes, choose Help -> About iTunes to check the version number. If it's lower than 10.6.3, download the latest version from here.

I have updated to ios 7 as has my daughter. Now when I send her a text all that shows up is her phone number or part of the number, not her name. I'm not even sure she is getting the texts because she hasn't responded at all. She is usually very prompt. Is this a glitch with the new ios?
Actually you are not texting if she has an iOS device. Is the balloon the typing is in blue? Check your Settings>Messages and see if it is activated. You might want to call your daughter and ask her the same thing. Check her contact in your contacts app and see if the number is correct and everything is still there.
Then go into Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. This will not affect data. After that, if iMessage is activated, then try sending her a message. -
I updated my iphone to iOS 6.0.1but it doesn't show the contacts names when calling or receiving calls. What to do?
This may be an error caused by the update. You can try to sync your contact information with iCloud and backup the rest of your data and then restore the device and see if it starts to work normally again.

I dropped my iPhone 4 in water and cannot get it to dry out enough to turn back on. I may have fried the battery. I am using an old iPhone 3 temporarily but cannot get all of my current info to sync. My calendar is up to date but none of my notes have transferred over and the contact list is from when I originally used the iPhone 3 last year. How do I get my iPhone 4 info synced onto the iPhone 3?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't restore an iPhone 3G from an iPhone 4 backup. Until you get a replacement you can access your iCloud data at iCloud.com on a computer. -
How do I prevent my iphone from downloading my entire computer email address book when I "update" my phone by plugging it into my computer and do the update procedure. I am having my phone "contacts" swamped with the entire contacts in my email on my computer and then I am having to manually delete them each time I update my phone...? thanks for any assistance on this...mm
Thank you for your rapid...excellent answer!! I feel abit foolish...but I am in a learning process and you are a wise teacher! thanks...mm

I've just updated my IOS to 5.0.1 and when some of my contacts call me there name doesn't appear.
I have all contacts with the indicative, but if I remove the indicative the name appears but disappear in the message. I'm not the only person with this problem.
Is this an iPhone probleme or an operator problem?
Before the update everithing was working.Here you are "the strange draft logos"...

In Contacts version 8, how can I print ALL information in each individual card? When I select the print command the only thing printed is the name and address. I need phone number(s) and all other information in the cards. We enter various pieces of data, other than the standard name address & phone numbers and we print all information on each card so it fits in a 5x7 inch loose binder. We have used InTouch software for many years and it has served us extremely welll, however, the publisher (The Prairie Group) has not, and apparently has no plans to update their software to be compatible with any Mac OSX OS beyond 10.6. Any help will be appreciated!
You can select what you want included in a list format. In the Print command from Contacts, click the Show Details button. Then in the Style pulldown menu select "Lists" and there you'll be able to select what you want included. You can also select what you wish included if you select the Pocket Address Book style.
If neither of those options will work for you, then you will need to look to third-party software. Here's one possibility that seems to get good reviews:

I haven't done more than try it to make sure that it works with OS X 10.9's Contacts, which it does, but you can download their demo and try it yourself.

Ok, my family uses one Apple Account and we share music and stuff but when me and my sibling got Iphones like my parents, it got confusing. I was the first to sync my Iphone 4s into the computer and the Apple ID is put under my name. All of my Apps, contacts etc are on the account. But my parents decided to update their phone. Theirs is an Iphone 4s, like mine but they haven't updated it to IOS 7 since they got it so they plugged their phone into the computer syncing my information while deleting THEIR information. I think the computer thought it was MY phone and kicked out my parents information in the process. I don't know what to do, they have my contacts, pictures, apps, games, email accounts and TEXT MESSAGES. We have different phone numbers but how is that possible? I don't get it. Anyway, it would be nice to solve this problem because my sibling wants to update his own phone. If you guys have the answer, just post it up on here That would help alot!! Thank you!

Edit: Are you saying you are getting a prompt for your email pin, or are you talking about the passcode lock that appears when you turn the phone on? -
How do I get photos back for contacts that got lost when contacts transferred to new iPhone 4S?
I went in to the Apple store ot get help betting my data & all transferred from my old phone or Outlook to my new phone. They used a device that Verizon uses which apparently is the same type used to get contacts from one cell phone to the next--not a smart phone apparently.
I've got dup contacts now--maybe because the way it was synced with my MacBookPro after converting the contacts. I already had most of my contacts converted over. OK, I can compare & delete dups when I have time.
But I also noticed later that the photos that i had for a # of my contacts all seem to be missing. Is there a way to get them back?
I thought of doing what I did with the calendars which was to delete the ones from the Mac & iPhone & then sync the iPhone to Outlook in Windows inBootcamp on my MacBookPro.
But then I'm afraid I would either have more dup contacts or if I deleted them 1st, I would have to somehow restore a group of contacts that I only used for email & so except for a couple of them or so in the group, they were not in Outlook or my WinMob phone. I suppose that there is a way that I could somehow retrieve just that group from my Time Machine backup, but I'm not sure how to do that.
Also in the transfer, none of the photos got transferred. They weren't mostly super important, but I am realizing now that I would like to have them. Maybe I could just connect the old phone to Bootcamp & copy the photos from the phone to the C drive & then drag them over to the mac side & then learn how to get photos into iPhone contacts.
Any suggestions on best ways to deal with this?Yes, I think that I should be able to easily get them from Bootcamp (which I have also set up as a virtual machine in Parallels 5) to the Mac side. When I moved from Dell I just brought just about all my stuff from my Dell--I think by copying them to my external back up drive & then connecting that to my Mac & copying it to Windows 7 & then dragging it over to the Mac side. I think that is how I did it.
Back then I couldn't figure out any way to sync my Windows mobile phone with my Mac (althogh an iPhone can sync with Windows & Outlook--& I probaby should have used that to get all my pda data transferred. That was how I got my pda data into Outlook 2007 in bootcamp--by syncing with my phone.
I suppose probably Apple forums would be a better place to ask this. I'm over there now asking about Apple ID (beware to set yours up right. different apple products have differnt requirements. My ID used to be this user name. iCloud requires an email address so the Apple guy helping me made that change. But then iTunes registration tells me my password is invalid--even though it is valid to log into One to One & btw, I highly reccomend getting a One to One contract for all the wonderful training they offer for only $99/yr. I see the rules, they have the typical current rules many do, at least 8 characters & at least 1 upper case & 1 lower case & 1 numeral. My current one missed on 1 of those points & I don't know where to change it & iTunes just rejects it--doesn't take me to where i can change it--unless maybe I can say forgot password or something, but I haven't.
OK; I guess I should try that. Thanks for your help!

Wooo.....
I think the gist of your solution is in your last paragraph. I just got my first Mac, a MacBook Pro (a 17", quite a machine). If you move your pics over in Boot Camp, can you access them from the Mac side? If so, maybe you could set the contacts' photos in the Mac's contacts, then sync them to the phone with iCloud, maybe?
I know it can't be that easy, but it may be a place to start...

I want my new iPad mini to use my new Apple ID, not the old one that pops up without seemingly giving me the choice to update the Apple ID user name; as a result I haven't been able to update my APPS for some time. I changed my apple ID when I got a new e mail address a few months ago .
Any apps you have installed from the old AppleID will always be tied to that AppleID. You have no choice but to enter the password for the old AppleID if you want to update apps downloaded using that ID.
The only way to stop being asked for the password for the old AppleID is to remove all apps from the device that were downloaded using that old AppleID.
You'd then need to re-download (and re-purchase) any apps you want to keep using under the new AppleID.
Apps cannot be transferred between AppleIDs. -
Contact Name not appearing when I get an incoming ...
Hi,
Yet more problems with the N97 - I've noticed over the past 3 days that when I check my call logs it says that I have rang random number(s) (no name appears) so I text the number saying "Hi who's this?" and it turned out to be a mate and my girlfriend lol!
I don't understand why it's doing this? The only thing I've done recently - is receive a song via bluetooth from my girlfriends 5800 which failed a number of times!!! (then eventually I got the song through, opened the inbox and the message went to save the song crashed when trying to save it to a memory location)... and it's saved to my phone memory (I only have 1.1Mb of free space left now... (aside from the mass memory of course ) - I don't know how to rectify this problem although I haven't tried connecting the phone to the PC (PC Suite) and couldn't find the file in the file manager...
What could this be? My dad phoned me about 10 mins ago and it came up with no name...?
I've managed to sort the internet problem with the phone sort of... is this something else the latest update has fooked up?
Thanks
AshThe ringtone issue is well known on the N97, it's down to a bug in the current and previous firmwares. It's apparently fixed in the new 2.0 firmware due for release from this weekend if the rumours are to be believed. The other problem here is that regardless of the ringtone you have specified, it'll randomly play the default Nokia tune.
Regarding the contacts problem, check if you have any contact details stored on the phone SIM. Anything there with the same number as a contact as in your other storage memories needs sorting. The same is also true if, for example, you have separate entries for people, say one for 'Mum' and one for 'Dad' as they have different mobile phone numbers, they'll shame the same 'Home' number so when that 'home' number calls you, it won't show as Mum or Dad on the display as calling, it'll just show the number if it's not network blocked.
I hope that helps explain it. Duplicates are a problem. Nothing major, just annoying.

How do be sure I don't lose contacts when I update to ios5
I have a 3G iphone and have read the horror stories of losing all your contacts. I have backed up the iphone to my Windows 7 computer. I have transferred all my purchases to itunes. I have heard that many people are finding that the backup doesn't restore. My contacts are for my business and I can't afford to lose them. Don't have time to copy each one down. Should I just forego the update?
They lose their backup's because they rely on the automatic backup's that are performed when you plug your phone in.
Those are temp backups, and should not be relied on. Make a manual backup -> right click device name, select backup. That will create a backup that will not be erased or replaced. -
Contact names transferring to hands free radio in car
I have a blackberry 9720 and a samsung3
When i connect the phones to the car bluetooth stereo the samsung s3 trasnfers contacts and telephone numbers
The blackberry only appears to transfer the numbers which makes it useless for searching for contacts as i cannot search on name. My previous blackberry (8900) transferred names and nos.
is there an issue with 9720?
Thanks in advanceThank you...that is much more clear. The process you are following is indeed the process to transfer just one contact. The process I outlined is how to transfer them all...and not being able to find "Manage Connections" will indeed result in not being able to transfer all contacts. So, rather, try this KB...perhaps it matches better your circumstance.
Good luck!

After installing the "Software Update 1.07 (Windows installer) for Centro for Sprint" (Article ID: 6012 - http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/6012_en.html) starting from http://sprint.com/downloads, I noticed the stock Palm Messaging application that comes with the device did not work as it did prior to the update.
I was able to fix it. Here's what the problem was and what I did to correct it.
"Not found in Contacts" message appeared when composing and addressing a new SMS text message.
In the Contacts app, Options>Preferences, I simply reordered the contacts from "Last Name, First Name" to "Company, Last Name", and saved the change.
I then immediately went back into the same preference, and changed the setting back from "Company, Last Name" to "Last Name, First Name", and saved that change.
Going back to the Messaging application, when composing a new message, now the Contacts database is linked again. Whew!
