Contacts not importing but are visible when writing a message

Hello,
My contacts are not showing up in my contact area on my new phone after backing up to ICloud Macbook but are visible in Blue when writing an SMS? Can anyone help?

Hi atwalshy,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you are having trouble with iCloud contacts appearing on your iPhone, I recommend starting with the troubleshooting steps in this article:

  • Some contacts not displaying but are in call history and on Whats App

    I think this happened after upgrading to iOS 6, but some contacts which were on my phone are no longer displaying in 'My Contacts' however when I type the number in manually they appear. They are also listed in my Whatsapp contacts so I know they are no my phone.
    I have also tried checking for them on iCloud.com however they are not there either. I have also gone to contacts Groups to make sure it says display all contacts which it does.
    The biggest question here is I had this problem on my 3Gs and have just got the iPhone 5 and the same issue has happened here?!?!
    REALLY STUCK HERE, HELP PLEASE!!!!

    Problem solved.  When a contact is added on your iPhone, it doesn't necessarily go into iCloud contacts.  They can go under contacts for any email you have on your phone if you have "contacts" toggled "on" under settings.  Backup your phone. Then restore your phone to an old backup from prior to having problems.  After that, turn off iCloud contacts on your phone, and delete them from your phone when asked.  Look to see what contacts remain on your phone and add those to your iCloud.  If you have a Mac computer, just email them to yourself when you go under each one and hit "share contact."  Then, on your Mac, open the email and click on the ".vcf" attachment and it should put it right into your iCloud contacts.  Then you can restore your iPhone back to your original backup.  Go under your "Mail, Contacts and Calendars" settings and turn off your contacts for any other emails if you want to (not sure if you will have duplicate contacts if you don't).
    Don't forget to make sure iCloud contacts are "on" when you are done- it may take a while for all the contacts to get back on your phone- I shut my phone off and restarted it also.
    Good Luck!

    1 - Select  the thumbnail of one of the problem photos and use the File ➙ Reveal in Finder ➙ Original menu option.  This will take you to the folder containing the original file with that file selected by the Finder. 
    You can also use Find Any File to search for that file (get the file name from the Info pane in iPhoto). You will find the thumbnail version and maybe an edited version also.  Made sure what is found is the large, original version and note were it's located.  Search all of your drives with FAF just in case.
    If you don't fine the full sized version then the only recourse is to use a file recovery application like   SubrosaSoft FileSalvage on your drives to see if any of your full sized photos can be recovered.   If you find enough files to make the purchase of the software worthwhile buy it and recover the files.  However, since it may have been quite a while since you discovered the missing originals it seems unlikely you'll be able to recover any due to being overwritten.
    2 - book projects are just entries in the library databases and can't be exported to another library. 

  • Some of my contacts are recieving FaceTime or FaceTime audio requests that I am not making but are coming from the assigned iCloud email address that I do not use for FaceTime

    A few of my contacts are recieving FaceTime or FaceTime audio requests generating from my iCloud email address. Additionally some of my contacts, including my husband are recieving texts that say they are generated from me (as their contact) but I am not texting nor do I have access to that particular thread and I am not recieving all of my iMessages from another one of my contacts, but she shows that they are sent. This all seems to be related to a single issue and Im starting to freak out that my apple account or a portion of it was hacked.
    A few months ago my husband, out of town, initiated a FaceTime session and someone else answered it, and hung up. He then initiated it again and this time it came through and I answered it. At that time I changed my apple ID password. But now it seems like I am having similar if not escalating issues with this. What do I do?

  • IPTC legacy Contact - not imported by 3.4.1

    Last year I tried out Aperture and found that it was able to see the 'IPTC legacy Contact' field. This is important for me, as it corresponds to the field "People" in the wonderful iView programme that I've been using for ever. It lists the people on my images. Recently when I upgraded to Mountain Lion, this old program stopped working however. And so I decided to buy a fresh Aperture, and import my pictures.
    However: the new version of Aperture does not import the IPTC legacy Contact anymore!
    This XMP:People field is equal to the IPTC:Contact (legacy) field, and in iView it is used to list the people on the image.
    I've checked the jpeg file using exiftool to see if Aperture can write fields using 'Metadata'->'Write IPTC Metadata to original', or do the inverse with 'Metadata'->'Update from Original'.  The result is:
    -- Aperture can write the IPTC legacy Contact field
    -- Aperture does not input the IPTC legacy Contact field
    That means that the new Aperture 3.4.1 version cannot do what the older version did half a year ago??
    Something else I notice, is that when I fill in the name of a face, this name is added as one of the IPTC Keywords.
    .. so should I try to copy my "XMP:People" = "IPTC:Contact" (the two are equal) to the Keywords?
    Is this is a known bug, where can I see a list of other known bugs in metadata handling?
    How soon it will be fixed? And will I  then be able re-read my metadata from the original files?
    Another question: in iView, I was used to being able to merge the metadata that I had entered with the fields in the file, where either information in the file or in iView would 'win' in the merger.  How should I do such an operation in Aperture?

    Same here. I checked on my iMac and an MBP in Aperture 3.4.1, MacOS X 10,8.2, and I see the same. Aperture exports the legacy contacts field, but it does not show it in the versions when importing an image.
    However, when I check the imported original/master image file, the IPTC field is not erased - the version just does not reflect the data stored in the legacy contacts field.
    Something else I notice, is that when I fill in the name of a face, this name is added as one of the IPTC Keywords.
    .. so should I try to copy my "XMP:People" = "IPTC:Contact" (the two are equal) to the Keywords?
    Keywords? or do you mean IPTC tags? The keywords are a special kind of metadata tags, and I do not see the "faces" names in the Aperture keywords. In which tag do you see them?
    if you want to use another IPTC field to store the Contact info, I'd recommend to copy your info to one of the metadata fieldds, that are not marked as "legacy". Any feature labelled "legacy" is likely not to be supported in the near future.
    Is this is a known bug, where can I see a list of other known bugs in metadata handling?
    I have not seen this bug reported before, and do not know of any list of known bugs.
    How soon it will be fixed? And will I  then be able re-read my metadata from the original files?
    Write a bug-report to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/aperture.html
    They should be told, that users still depend on this legacy tag, otherwise the chances are slim that they will bother to fix it - the name "legacy" clearly indicates that this metadata tag is doomed and only supported for compatibility reasons.
    Your imported originals/masters still have this field and carry the data - at least mine do - so you might consider to write an Automator service to access them with a shell script using exiftool.
    But it might be easier in the long run to simply copy these data to a different tag that is still supported.
    in iView, I was used to being able to merge the metadata that I had entered with the fields in the file
    Aperture keeps the data you enter in the versions. Also, when you import an image file, the tags should be copied to the version. When you edit the tags and want to add these changes to the original file, you can use the command "Metadata > Write IPTC Metadata to Original". That will write your changes to the original file, but not merge the data.
    Just some thoughts - sorry that I do not have a solution for your problem

  • CAN NOT IMPORT BUSINESS AREA AS IT SAYS - JOINS NOT FOUND WHERE REQUIRED

    We have recently migrated from Disco 4.1.48.08 to 10.1.2
    Everything looks ok - we are able to look at existing workbooks and business areas. And we can export business areas successfully.
    However
    When we try to import some business areas it returns - JOINS NOT FOUND WHERE REQUIRED and fails. This is now causing a problem with how we promote from our test/uat and prod environments.
    any ideas ?

    Here's some information from Support that helped me...
    Discoverer has many options on exporting and importing objects. Entire End User Layers, Entire Business Areas or only selected objects could be exported. To simplify the process of exporting and importing Business Areas, it is suggested that the export and import process should be done with entire Business Areas. The reason why it is not recommended that selected objects are exported and imported as a norm is to simplify maintenance.
    It is still possible to export and import selected objects, but a knowledgeable Administrator is recommended to head the procedure. The process could get
    very complex and difficult to manage.
    Some Additional Notes:
    - Join conditions are exported, but are not indicated as an object. Join conditions are only exported ** if ** the joining folders are exported.
    - If the ‘refresh’ option is performed in Discoverer Administrator on an object and the underlying object on the database is not available, the object is dropped from the EUL. It is of utmost importance that the objects exist on the underlying database before the ‘refresh’ option is executed.
    - Functions and Workbooks are not exported when exporting an entire Business Area. Functions and Workbooks have to be exported separately.
    The first bullet is what was giving me this error "JOINS NOT FOUND WHERE REQUIRED". I was unable to do a full export - another unrelated error, so I came up with an alternate solution. I created a new BA that only contained the standard folders that my two custom BA's referenced - by JOINS and inclusion in my complex folders. I exported all 3 and they imported into the new instance with no issue.

  • Aperture does not import Nikon JPG files when RAW and JPG

    I own a Nikon D2x that I download files to a Sony 40GB portable HD. When I shoot in RAW + JPG only the RAW file is imported when I connect the Sony HD to my Mac and import to Aperture.
    If I open the Sony disk Icon on the Desktop, I can see both the RAW and the JPG. In fact I can finder copy both files to the Desktop with no problem.
    Even when I connect the camera itself, the jpg files are not imported.
    This makes me think I should just shoot in RAW and save the space on the memory card.
    Why does Aperture not import the JPG files?

    it does import them ... but only displays the RAW file ... if you drill down into the library package you will see them ...
    here are threads dealiing with same issue ...

  • Cisco PCA contacts not importing all of them

    Trying to get contacts imported into Cisco PCA (Cisco Unity Personal Communications Assistant) so we have certain users call by voice command...
    I am able to get most of the contacts in, but only about 50% will import from Exchange.  I cannot figure out why others are not importing.  I cannot find anything obvious different between the contacts.

    So after much back and forth with TAC and getting the right people involved, there's a hard limit of 150 on Cisco's side.  We are putting in a PER with our partner, but I'm guessing this is a "don't hold your breath" situation  Its too bad this isn't documented anywhere and wasted a lot of my time and their time.

  • Primary Contacts Not Importing HELP!

    I have tried for years to get my Primary Contacts to import with my Accounts. The Business Contacts and Accounts import separately but there is not a single Account that is showing a Primary Contact. I have thousands of Accounts and Contacts and it would
    take forever to do it manually. Is there a way for me to import the Primary Contact names to my Accounts?

    Far too much missing information.
    1) Outlook version being used?
    2) How many email accounts (along with the applicable account "types" as in POP, Imap, etc) are configured in your Outlook profile?
    3) What exactly do you mean by "tried for years...............to import with my Accounts"? Import from where?
    4) Please clarify what you mean by "thousands of Accounts and Contacts" - specifically - the difference between an Account and a Contact as used in your description?

  • Lightoom 5.7 not importing ALL jpeg files when importing

    Hello, I am repeatedly having issues with Lightroom 5.7 64 bit on Win 7 computer on the import option from a file on hard drive. The file has 40 pictures, mostly all jpeg...and after the import - add function, only about 20 are imported. I have tried this multiple times and it still happens. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    There is an option in the Lightroom preferences to treat JPEG's next to raw images as separate images. If that option isn't checked, and some of your images are raw files, the raw files will be imported but the JPEG images will not. So check to make sure you have that option activated.

  • IMovie will not import - but says it is importing

    When I try an automatic import with iMovie, it finished in about 3 seconds and nothing happens (There is about an hour's worth of video on the tape). When I do a manual import, a blue screen appears which says "Importing" but no photo clips display and the timer on the top right corner stays at zero. What is going on? It sees my camera (JVC Mini DV3) but I cannot seem to do anything with the video on the camera. If I click stop or close the movie is nowhere to be found. If I quit iMovie, it does not prompt me to save anything (obviously, because nothing imported). Any idea what is going on? Help! Thanks in advance.

    It finally worked on about the 12th time! I did have to hit play first, then Import, and although I tried this previously it finally worked this time. Hopefully it is not so tempermental in the future!

  • How can I turn off the variable width font when writing a message?

    I have set up my email message file to use Arial 14 font. When starting a message (either original or reply) it defaults to this font. However, if at any time I move the curser with the mouse, mouse pad, the end key or an arrow key to a location to the right or below the text already typed, it automatically changes to the "variable width" font.
    This requires me to manually change the font back to Arial, or backspace back to the last text typed with Arial Very, very annoying.

  • SharePoint 2013 - document libraries and newsfeeds are visible when viewed using Internet Explorer running on the server but not from any other machine

    On a single Windows 2012 R2 server I have installed SQL 2012 and SharePoint 2013 SP1 with the latest update roll ups. When I remote desktop to the server using the farm and site collection admin account  and open page http://server_name_here using
    Internet Explorer, I'm able to see newsfeeds and document libraries.
    If I connected to a separate Windows 7 machine as  the farm and site collection admin account  and open page http://server_name_here using Internet Explorer, I'm able to view the SharePoint pages except I cannot see any newsfeeds or document libraries.
    There's just blank space where they should be. I have repeated this process on several other machines that are not the server and get the same result on every machine (I've tried other servers, desktops, adding the SharePoint site to the trusted sites list
    in IE, even using firefox). I'm using the same account as I did when I logged onto the server directly. Any thoughts as to what's going on?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the idea, Harsh. What am I looking for?
    It is currently set to the default of http://server_name and http://server_name:port_number (the latter is for Central Admin).
    When I have access to the server, I have always done so the same way, using http://server_name. This was true when I access it from the desktop of the server itself and when I tried to access it from other desktops and servers (the machines where I had the
    issues with the libraries and feeds not showing up). Are there other values I should add?
    I have not tried to add http://server_FQDN as we don't plan on using that to access it but if you think it will help I would be happy to add it.

  • When clicking "open in new tab" a link that is on the bookmarks toolbar, but hidden (meaning that they are visible when clicking on arrows on right side) nothing happens. Actually all right click features do not work on those "hidden" bookmarks.

    I have lots of bookmarks on the bookmarks toolbar, so they some are hidden on the right side, you have to click on those arrows in order to reveal those, and that's were I found out that right clicking on any of those bookmarks does not have any effect.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Skype Credit & Contacts not Appearing in iOS App, when they are on Desktop.

    Hi, I am having the same issue that many people have raised, but there appear to be not suggestions  as to what shoudl be done. I have an MS Accoount which is used to sign into Skype. Destop is signed in and shows credit.  iOS shows credit £0.00. Desktop has about 20 contacts.  iOS has 1. I have uninstalled & re-installed the iOS app.   I think it may possibly relate to the Skype Account vs. Microsoft Account, but this is unlikley.  When I try and try and reset the Skype Account Password to the same as the Microsoft Account Password it won't let me so I presume these are in fact the same thing.  Anyway Skype/Microsoft will no longer allow me to change passwords since I've exceeded the number allowed within 24 hours.   Any advice will be greatfully recieved. Peter  PS. Now Skype App (OSX Desktop), with Micrsoft Account, will not let me sign in, but I am able to use the Account (to update this Message). OK. At last. There were two accounts, a Microsoft Account and a Sype Account.  They were completely seperate, and thus the problem.  At some point I must have used the same password for both.  Hoever can I make a few suggestions.... 1) If you copy & past the code for password re-set be careful not to get leading/training spaces because these appear to be significant. 2) The message when you enter an incorrect Password is the Skype is not recognising the User Name AND the Password. Surely it's the combination that is incorrect? 3) Please do not use Skype to market Microsoft Accounts.   Case Closed.     

    i should mention i already tried deleting the -v22 file.
