Contacts Names Don't Show Up On Visual Voicemail

Ever since I shifted to Exchange as my contacts account, the names of my contacts don't show up in visual voicemail, or for most incoming calls. I don't want to keep duplicates in the "On My Iphone" account, since then I get duplicate when I sync. I have Exchange set as my default contacts account. Anyone know a way around this?

I have tool tips for all of my text fields but they do not show up on the final form . . . what am I doing wrong?
If I do the default text, does that mean that the recipient would delete the default text and replace it with their info?
Thanks,
T.

My Iphone 5 updated to IOS 6.2 and now my contact names do not show on incomming calls or text messages. All i can see is the number of the person calling. how can i fix this?? please help

I updated my iphone software to IOS 6.2 yesterday and im not sure if it is a coincidence but now, my contact names do not show on incomming calls or messages. Also they do not show on past calls or recent history.
All my contacts in my phonebook still exist and are correct, the problem only occurs when receiving calls or messages. please help i need this fixing
Regards,
Frosty

Try to restore your iphone via iTunes or update to ios6.1.2.
If itunes gives an error with restoring (DFU/Recovery or just normal)
try this:
open your computer and search on windows; C://windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
open up the hosts file in note pad you will see IP adresses and more add another line and put in this:
#74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
this is a by-pass to the cydia/saurik restore server, it has nothing to do with jailbreaking over voiding apple's warranty
let me know if succeeded!

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?

After installing latest update the contact photos don't show on incoming call

Possible iTunes issue:
Try the following after adding photos.
Go to file
Then Home Sharing
Select photos to share
Click on All Photos already selected Do anyway
When Apply turns black click on Apply
Now go to Apple TV to see if photos there
Or restart iTunes.
Works for me every time photos do not appear on my Apple TV 3
Hopefully will work for you.

No Contact Names or Pics Showing for Incoming Calls?

I just got my phone yesterday. I have clean sync with my MacBook Pro. I thought that contact names should show for all incoming calls if that person and number are in my contacts. I also thought a photo would show if there was a photo in the contact as well.
???

I had a problem somewhat similar when I first bought my IPhone as well. My iPhone would show the numbers in international format with the 011 in front of all the numbers which made the contacts not show up when calls were incoming. I had to contact AT&T and spent 4 hours on the phone until someone actually figured out what was wrong and fixed it in less than 3 mins. It wasn't even the iPhone it had to do with the phone I previously had through Cingular/AT&T. The person said it was some sort of provisioning or something like that with some incorrect settings that screwed with the incoming calls only. This problem also would make the contact picture not show up as well for anyone in your list. This might help or maybe it won't. Good Luck figuring it all out. I still love my iPhone and haven't had too many problems with it

Missing Contact Names - Only Numbers Showing - All Yahoo Contact Data Gone

The other day I did a sync and afterward in the phone tab, all my Favorites and Recents are displaying numbers and NOT the names of my contacts as they had always done before.
Further, if I click on the "Contacts" tab, there are only 10 contacts listed when before there were several hundred!
This was just a sync, no software update. I have tried several troubleshooting steps including:
1. Checked my Yahoo account online to make sure all contact info still exists there, it does.
2. Re-entered my Yahoo credentials in iTunes to make sure contact info was syncing. It accepted credentials as expected.
3. I restored my iPhone using the latest backup (from a few days prior) with no luck.
4. I restored my iPhone from a backup several months ago (July) and my contact names were back...but all my music, apps, photos, video, etc. was gone so I restored back to the most recent backup.
5. I then imported all my Yahoo contacts into my Gmail account and then added my Gmail account to the phone in the hope that it would grab the contact names. Nope.
So now I'm stuck and looking for assistance from anyone who can offer my advice on what else I may try if anything. This seems to be a reoccurring issue with Yahoo contacts on the forums here as of late with different people experiencing slightly different behavior (like me having all numbers but missing names and other people having names but no numbers).
What's going Yahoo? What's going on Apple?
What's the fix, or at least a workaround???

Update on the Gmail workaround:
Importing all my Yahoo contacts to Gmail and then choosing to sync Google/Gmail contacts in iTunes before syncing seemed to do the trick.
I think this is definitely a Yahoo contacts problem and not necessarily iPhone.
Any thoughts?

Since the ios7 upgrade the names don't show from contacts on calls or texts

Since the upgrade only the phone number appears with calls and texts not the name from contacts

Turning off and back on or hard reset seems to work for a day or two. After resetting I am occasionally losing messages that were there before reset. In addition, I have had 3 messages that I received a notification for when they came in but go into messages and not there. Message incon still shows 3 unread messages but when I open messages I have no unread messages??? Power on-off or hard reset does not seem to fix this. At least a reset gets imessages working again. Hope fix is out soon. This is a PIA.

Full folder names don't show.

In iOS, file/folder names are shortened when they cannot be displayed in one line. However, viewing a folder name within a folder still shows its shortened name. The expected result is that it should show its full, non-shortened name.
"Cloud File Managers" is the full name of the folder.
Hopefully this gets resolved.

Thank you!

Which iOS version are you currently running on your iPhone?

I updated to iOS 5.0.1 on my 4s, and now names don't show up in messages or recent calls, only numbers.

I'm only seeing phone numbers on calls, even when they're from my contacts. Messages are only phone numbers, too.

Try deleting your email account, re-start your phone and add the account again. This was a solution on previous updates

5.0.1 update: contacts don't show up.

after update to 5.0.1 my contacts' names don't show up in text or phone call views so when i get a text it just looks like a number i don't have saved. Any ideas? FYI I updated via wifi for the first time

Same problem here - very annoying!

My contacts don't show up when people call

I reset the settings on my iPhone 4s and now my contact names don't show up when people call. It only shows the number, but they are still listed in the contact list. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Which phone do you have ?
This happens when there are multiple entries with the same phone no.
Also if the same contacts are stored on SIM and in Phone memory also and you have selected to show contacts from both these destinations..
In contacts-->Options-->settings.. contacts to display.. select preferably the Phone memory only.. Also save the contacts to Phone memory to get better functionality of the phone book.. There are many limitations of storing contacts on SIM.. Periodically take back-up on PC to avoid unforeseen problems with your device..

E72-1 Some Phone book Contacts don't show up while...

Hello users,
So i came along with a very odd kind of error while using my E72-1 .Since I am a new user of this phone, do tell me if am wrong somewhere.
So the problem is like when i try to forward some message to multiple recipients i type the first few letters of their name in the phone book search box. SO i found out that there are some contacts that don't show up in the list if u don't add their name at the first place in the recipients list. To add them as recipient i have to go back to the message and again select add recipient and then type their name to search. And this time the contact can be seen. this going back and forth for adding contacts is annoying. Instead i wanted to select the recipients in one go by checking the boxes beside the contacts in the list.
Please help me with this bug..and if i'am missing out on something do point me out.
thank you.

I would reset your pone a million times, you also probably have too many contacts, you need to use the phone correctly, and you need to change it.
Apart from that you could create contact groups and add whichever contacts to those.
That's humor for all You folks, it doesn't get any better then this!
