Contacts no longer show names, only numbers

All my contacts disappeared, they arent in my contacts. The ones left in my favourites and in my messages only display the numbers. I have tried a lot of things and nothing has worked. This is EXTREMELY frustrating, almost at the point of ditching apple.
someone please help (i have a 4s)

Settings > iCloud > Contacts - Switch ON (Green side showing)
If it's already switched on, switch it off, wait a few minutes, then switch it back on

  • Contacts no longer show up in messages just phone numbers. How do I fix this?

    My contacts no longer show up in messages on Macbook Pro. Just phone numbers. I can not seem to figure out how to fix this! Anyone know how?
    Thanks!

    Try to create a new Boolean pref <b>browser.shell.shortcutFavicons</b> and set the value to false.

  • Question: When I want to send SMS and click on the contact, the contact came out with names and numbers, as if the whole contacts are there in the phone. When I open the contact, I can only see 3 contact names and the rest of 4000  contacts are not listed

    Question: When I want to send SMS and click on the contact, the contact came out with names and numbers, as if the whole contacts are there in the phone. However, when I open the contact, I can only see 3 contact names and the rest of 4000 plus contacts are not listed, and it makes you difficult to call through contact

    The iPhone remembers information about previous contacts.
    Complelely independently, you have a Contacts app with a contacts list.  It sounds like your contacts list has 3 names on it.  You need to add a few names.

  • Find Friends won't show names, only email addresses and Contacts out of sync

    Find Friends recently began to show only email addresses but no contact names. It used to show the names. Not sure what has changed. Messages works fine at showing names, however.
    Also, some of my contacts in Contacts don't show up on my iPhone. Not aware of any syncing problems otherwise. Any ideas on what ot check and how to fix? Thanks.

  • HT1692 My kids were playing with my phone and now the majority of my contacts no longer show up in my contact listing.  However, if I hit Siri and say call Mom and Dad home it will call, but it still doesn't show up in my contacts. How can I add back?

    My Kids were playing with my phone and now the majority of my contacts don't show up.  If I use Siri, my phone will find and call the number even though it is not showing in my contact list.  How do I restore my contacts?

    Call mum and dad are in the contact of yourself.
    You have to manually add it back or if you have contacts in your computer addressbook, you can sync them back.

  • 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?

  • I have an iphone 4s which I recently updated to iOS 7.0.4. Now my contacts no longer show addresses or notes, although the phone numbers are displayed. All the correct information is still in iCloud, but how do I get the Contacts folder to show all info?

    Since I updated to iOS 7.0.4 on my iphone 4S, I can no longer see addresses or notes in my contacts on my phone. The information still exists in iCloud online.  How do I get full contact info onto my phone?
    There is another problem which may be related.  My desktop computer at work is running Windows 7, and I was recently upgraded to Office 2013.  Outlook is not showing contacts on my computer any more, just in iCloud.  However, when in iCloud, it does included addresses and notes, so I don't think this is caused by the same error as the iphone problem,
    I have refreshed, reinstalled and rebooted, to no avail.

    I would say that you would want to look into the "Exchange Mode" for GMail.  That would allow your iPhone to sync calendars, contacts and email with GMail just fine.  Doing the same with your outlook should also then sync those same with your PC using Outlook.  I've done teh iPhone side of this, but I since I don't run Lookout for my email client, I'm not sure how that will work on the PC side.

  • Contacts and Message not showing names but numbers. Tried changing language and resetting my phone but failed. I am using Starhub in Singapore currently.

    Tried changing language and resetting my phone but failed. I am using Starhub in Singapore currently.

    The reset link will show on your account if you have a rescue email address on it, if you only have alternate email addresses then it won't show.
    If the country where you and your iTunes account are isn't on this page (you need to be in a country to use its store) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    then you can try contacting support via this page and explain that you've forgotten your answers, don't have a rescue email address, and your country isn't on the HT5699 page and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

  • Why are my contacts no longer in outlook only I-cloud

    When I set up I-Cloud my contacts seemed to disappear from Outlook. Why? Also I was deleting duplicates and I deleted a very important contact.and information. How can I restore? Mike

    I wanted to change the destination of the photos.  You do this along the
    top of the import page where it says, "Select a destination," but you
    find the place you want it to go on the left side.
    No, this is wrong. You do indeed select the destination at the top right of the Import dialog but you see either the same destination folder or a sub-folder in it, if you have chosen that option, on the bottom right. The left side is only sources from which photos can be copied or added.
    When the images were downloaded, I went over to the right side and I believe actually found all the photos were gone.
    If the photos were downloaded (something which is not certain from your description) the Import dialog would have closed, putting you back in the Library module. But the right side panel of the Library shows only a histogram, Quick Develop, keywording tools, metadata readouts, etc., so it is hardly surprising that you did not find folders and image files there. They are found on the left.
    I went back, in LR, on the right side [?] to my Root Folder, in which all of the images in their folders are stored under Pictures and set up an import.
    Imported using the "Add" option in order to catalog them in place or by making copies or moving them to another location?
    The images all returned to LR, but they were no longer organized in their folders.
    Perhaps because of not understanding the Import interface you moved or copied them to a different destination and it is this alternate or second location that the catalog now refers to.
    Does this clarify?
    No, I'm afraid not. Maybe if you spent a bit more time understanding the layout and structure of LR's UI, you could explain your problem better.

  • HT1386 why my contacts does not show all the numbers for a contact

    i want to synch my contacts from Outlook to my Iphone4s but only some of the numbers gets synched please help

    Thanks for your reply. I have only had my new Macbook for a few weeks and do not have DropBox or GoogleDrive (or anything else) on it. It is a very weird problem.

  • Find My Friends and iMessage no longer shows names?

    I imagine it did some auto-update and now when I get a text it shows the phone number and not the name, when I look at my Find My Friends app it shows there email instead of a name and photo.  I am pretty sure it just needs access to the contact indo but outside of deleting the apps and reinstalling them I do not know how to do this.

    Suggest you try signing out of your ID for both services, then force close both apps, reset your phone, then sign back in.

  • 800W - Send Key Call Log no longer shows names

    Every so often, when I hit the send key and see the log, I only see numbers.  I normally am suppose to see names instead of numbers.  Only way to fix this would be to do a restart.  This is getting really annoying, is there any fix for this?
    Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)

    I'm not sure what could cause that. Is it possible there are many programs running? Next time it happens, check your Task Manager and see whether ending task on some of them helps with the problem.

  • Stolen iphone contacts no longer showing up in icloud

    Hello everyone,
    Im writing on behalf of my mother-in-law, whos iPhone 4 was stolen today. She went and purchased a 5 right away, and her contacts were showing up from the cloud. However, just a few hours later, they are not there on her phone. Earlier today when she told me about it, I logged in to her account on icloud.com to verify that everything was backed up and she would be good to go when she signed in on the new device, and all of her contacts were showing up there. Now they are not. What has happened, and what can I do? Im afraid that the theif might have gone in and erased them on purpose. I changed her email password right away, but did not even think to change her icloud password. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks everyone!

    The person with the iPhone most likely did what you think, deleted all of the contact, and perhaps other inf, and the iPhone dutifully synced that to iCloud.  That removed the info.  You need to be ure and change all passwords that may be on that iPhone.  Report it to the police, cell carrier and insurance.

  • Deleted icloud account and now names are gone in contacts only numbers shown.  How do I get the names back?

    I created an icloud account but my 2 kids shared the same itunes account.  I had the kids delete their icloud accounts from their phones.  My contacts and my daughter's contacts merged on my phone, when she deleted her icloud account her contacts no longer show names... only phone numbers.  How can we fix this?

    The only possible way that you could get it back is if the app is still in your iTunes library. If you don't sync with iTunes and it is not in your iTunes library, unfortunately, your version of the app is gone now.
