Contact request showing a pending IM message with ...

Hi - received a contact request today from a person unknown to me.
When I look at the request, there is an IM showing in the history, with the status 'pending', that looks like it has come from me (it has my actual name at the top of the message line, not my user name).
That is odd all by itself, but the content of the IM is one of my passwords, used in other applications/programs.
I have declined the request - and have noticed that the person requesting is offline.
Has anyone ever experienced this?
I have now changed all apps / progs that use this password but it is a little worrying. How did they know my password? It absolutely is not easy to guess and I have never disclosed it.
I am running Skype on a iMac, iPhone 4S and an iPad 2.
Any suggestions on what is going on here?
thanks....

but this means ill have to re enter all my contacts and passwords. i store all my invoices on my phone via an invoice app. restoring from new would mean i would lose all that info which i cant afford to do. thanks for the help tho. maybe ill just have to ride it out till the cache clears out.

Why don't contact names show up on my messages?

I just got the lastest update for my iPhone 4s (which I've only had for 2 days now), and now when I get messages sent to me, I only see the phone number, not the contact's name. However, when I get an alert, it does have the contact name. This isn't a huge deal, but it is annoying. Any suggestions that might fix this?

I still haven't found a good explanation why this capability was lost. I keep finding postings saying that track names cannot be stored on CDs. Apparently other long-time iTunes users besides me remember being able to burn CDs and having the track information be retained. (Perhaps we were burning MP3 CDs; would these have the track info?) All I know is I used to burn audio CDs to play in my non-MP3 car stereo for years and when I would put that same CD into a computer the names would appear. This was how I would back up purchased CDs and also prepare music for lessons, so having the names was not optional.
If it was just me, I'd assume I was remembering incorrectly, but it's not the case.
My old mix CDs burned with track info, and now they don't.
Gift CDs other people burned for me had track names, but new ones I make in iTunes9 don't.
I NEVER used to have to add track info manually.
Don't you think we would remember something that time-consuming and annoying? Something has changed and I would like a better explanation than "no". I'd love to see info from iTunes 6 or 7.

If you want to use your back up you need to restore then entire Library from Time Machine, and then replace the damaged Library with it.

Contact photos are not showing up in Mail message list, even though the message will link to the contact card in Address Book with the photo in it.

I'm using Mail 5.3 and Address Book 6.1.3 on X 10.7.5. I want my contact photos to show up in the message list on Mail, but only some of them do, even though the message will link to the contact card in Address Book with the photo in it. I've even tried replacing a photo that doesn't show up with a photo that does show up for a different contact but no luck. I am syncing to one other Mac, an iPhone and an iPad via iCloud.

When I create a text message from my contact on my iphone 5, the contacts mobile number appears and not there name. But when they respond to my text, is shows up as a new text message with there name. How do I fix this?

Double click the home button and swipe up the messages app to stop it, then open the app again. This pretty much completely stops the process and freshly opens it again, resolving problems at times. I have had this happen before as well on my iPad, I get a banner, check messages, and nothing new is there.
If that doesn't work, close the app like suggested above, but then restart the phone by holding down the home and lock button for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears.

Issue with contacts not showing in my contacts but show up in messaging

Contacts in messaging show in blue green and grey. The grey are not stored in my contacts. When I text one of the grey contacts it shows the name until I send the text then it switches to just their number.

The grey contacts aren't stored on your phone. That's why it doesn't display their name.
Somewhere up until now, you either a) had that contact in your phone and had a conversation with them and then deleted the contact, or b) sent or received a text that number but never added the contact info. The # is cached in your device (It can be erased if you hit the ! to the right)

Unfortunately, I am unable to download updates from the App store.Whenever I tried to download updates, it shows me an error message, "we could not complete your request. there is an error in the App Store. Try again later (100). Your Apple ID has been disabled, contact iTune support". However,the problem still persists even after my password has been successfully reset. What is is the error in the app store? I really need help to resolve this issue.
Moreover,I also need help how to update to the mountain lion free of charge as my Mac pro is four(4) days old.

I have a new MacBook Pro with OS10.8.2 and cannot get Contacts to print a list of addresses with pictures showing. There is a check box selecting "picture" which has been checked - but no picture. This worked fine on OS10.7.5. Problem??

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

Can't accept BBM invitations and Invites sent show as "Pending for Authorization" but recipients are not receiving them either (PIN Message Status : Service Blocked)

I recenly changed device from BB Curve 8530 to BB Bold 9900 and ever since then can't accept BBM invitations and Invites sent shows only as "Pending for Authorization" but recipients are not receiving them either. Tried sending PIN messages but I got a red x next to the message and the status says: "Service Blocked" .
When my phone got lost, I was lucky that I just synchronized my device to my BB Desktop. Not only was I able to retrieve my contacts (phonebooks and BBM) but also ALL txt msgs and even call logs
Anway, that happening, I assumed I don't need to re-send all my BBM friends invites since some were able to communicate with me. But for those who have deleted my profile (knowing it got lost) and were still on my contact were the ones affected. I tried deleting them and sent an invite only to find out that: I can't accept BBM invitations and Invites sent shows as "Pending for Authorization" but recipients are not receiving any. (they also have the same pending for authorization notice on their end)
When I tried to send them a PIN message I get a red x next to the message nd get the service blocked message.
Help I do not know what else to do.
** FYI: new contacts added with my new PIN have no prob sending invites and me accepting them all.

Hello Lhea,
This issue is most likely Caused by the BlackBerry not being provisioned for BlackBerry Data Services.
Please have a look at the following article that covers "Service Blocked" when sending a PIN message:

I hope this helps.

My deleted contacts still show up when I want to send a text message. But when I go to my address book there not there only when I want to send a text MSG there name comes up and if I select them it only show there number not name in the message. How an I get rid of that

Try this...
have a text convo with the person you want to delete. Go to the top contact in the text convo, hit edit contact, and delete that contact.
That resolution came from another thread on this issue, and this did solve to poster's issue.

Why aren't my contacts showing up in text messages or the call list?

I sync my iphone only with my exchange contacts. It was workng fine until yesterday. My contacts list show up in the contacts app with the correct names, but the text messages and missed calls/voicemail list only shows numbers... not showing contact name. What can I do?

I am having the same issue and it all started after the update I downloaded last night. I have tried calling *288 VRZ support option and afterwars performed a soft boot with no fix. The +1 for USA option is not one I can even imagine doing with over 2000 contacts... There has got to be an easier solution...???

My contacts aren't showing up on the integrated messaging online/web-based texting page. How do I get my contacts to show up? Thanks.

I just started with Verizon. At work, I like to text online and you can do this with their "integrated messaging" platform. However, my contacts aren't showing up. How do I get my contacts to show up? When I start typing in the "to" field, it doesn't short list my contacts for example. Thank you.

Hi Pamela,
Thanks for writing back.
No, *all *contacts are missing when I to go "vtext" online. Someone else
from verizon responded and said it wouldn't sync to there, those have to be
entered manually. I thought that was a poor app, as apps like Heywire and
Whatsapp let you see your full contacts on their online web-texting sites.
I haven't used the verizon cloud. I thought it was $2.95/month? Would
backing up my phone to the cloud let me see my contacts when I use vtext?
Thank you,
Paula

We need help with unwanted contact requests

In the last 2 weeks, I have received 13 unwanted contact requests that I have blocked, which is roughly 2 unwanted contact requests for every Skype message or call I'm interested in receiving.
All of my privacy settings are set to "Contacts" and I do not publish my Skype ID on LinkedIn, the only social media site I use.
What else can I do?

Hello Gilad,
Thank you for your contact!
The script does not work, no error message comes up, I am sure it`s a
stupid mistake but neither my boss nor I are programmers.
Please have a look at the form enclosed, the field in question (field
name "calculated currency value", red border) is on the top right and
refers to the field "FX" (field name "FXname 4800") below (blue border)
Both fields are in number format so I don`t know why this doesn't work,
what else can it be?
With kind regards
Ursula
