Contacts not showing in messages

So I got a new sim card for my phone, all my contacts are still there, and if I click on "To:" in messages, I can go into contacts and select someone, but in my messages, no names show up. It's just everybody's numbers.
Why is this?

 This has happened on my Belle N8 a couple of times recently and an 8 second reboot sorted it out.

  • Contacts not showing up

    Im having a problem with my iphone 4. My contacts are in my phone when i search for them and also show up in my recent calls and text messages. However, whenever i touch contacts to bring up the list none of them are there. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hello everyone!
    For all of you out there who have received phone calls, text messages, etc, and have tried adding a contact by means other than directly via the contacts app only to have your contact not show up ANYWHERE (except maybe in a spotlight search), this quick troubleshooting guide is for you.
    Disclaimers: This can be performed on an Apple computer, I do not troubleshoot for PC's (however, anyone who knows their way around computers can easily modify the steps for a PC). This method can also be used if you sync your contacts via MobileMe like I do, and should work for the iPhone 3G, 3GS, and 4. I have the latest OS on my iPhone, but it should work with any recent OS. My iTunes has been updated to the most recent version.
    Step 1: Open Address Book on your mac. Make sure your address book view is extended to show your groups in the left column. Under groups, everyone will have a group labeled "All Contacts". If that's the only group you have, it's time to create another one. Click the "+" at the bottom of your group column and name your new group whatever you want. For my purposes (as this was an iPhone issue), I named my new group "iPhone Contacts". Do not add any contacts from "All Contacts" to your new group, as this will be unnecessarily redundant. Close Address Book, you're done with it.
    Step 2: Open iTunes and plug in your iPhone. Hopefully you have your settings to manually sync when you plug your iPhone into iTunes, otherwise wait until it's synced to continue. Click the "Info" tab in iTunes. The first option is Sync Address Book Contacts. Make sure this option is checked. Under the first subheading, make sure "All contacts" is checked. Below the groups box, there will be a line that says "Add contacts created outside of groups on this iPhone to:" and make sure this is checked as well. (Bonus info- Unless you created a contact directly via the contacts app on your iPhone, that contact ends up in another list. This is why you can't see it right now.) At this moment is where that new contact group you created in Address Book comes into play. Use the drop-down menu to the right of this option to select that group (remember mine was "iPhone Contacts"). Do not change anything else. Now click "Sync" in the bottom right corner of iTunes.
    Step 3: Once your iPhone is synced, open the Contacts app on your iPhone. If it opens to a contact list, tap the "Groups" button in the upper left corner of the screen. You should see two or three sections. The top section will simply be "All Contacts". The second section will be titled "From My Mac" and will display both "All from My Mac" and the new group you created in Address Book. If you use MobileMe, you will have a third section titled "[email protected]", under which your MobileMe contact group will fall. Make sure you tap the top group, "All Contacts". You will find those "missing" contacts now listed among all your other ones.
    Bonus: If you find you have duplicate contact names but neither contact has a full information card, you can edit the contact, scroll to the bottom and tap the "Link contacts" button, then link your duplicates to insure you have all the info you want.
    Success!! If you have any questions, let me know.

    I am adding new episodes, but they don't show up on the main page. The most recent one to show up is from 10/29/07.

  • MB1B: Variant transaction is not showing the message of document creation

    Dear MM EXPERTS n GURUS,
    When we create any document using T-Code MB1B, on successful posting it gives a message: Message no. M7060, Document 4900556951 has been saved and is stored in the database.
    Now, we have created an variant of this Transaction (ZMB1B) and assigned this Z-Transaction to the user. Original Transaction (MB1B), has been blocked for that user, because - user should use only ZMB1B.
    Problem is that after saving the document in Z-Transaction, user come out to main screen (SAP EASY ACCESS Screen) with a message You are not authorized to use transaction MB1B Message no. S#077
    While document has been saved in database.
    Why it is not showing the message - Message no. M7060, Document 4900556951 has been saved and is stored in the database.
    Thanks in advance.

    Dear GURUS n EXPERTS,
    As I have mentioned in my previous thread - After creation of Variant if I block or not assigned the original T-Code i.e. MB1B, system gives message  Message no. S#077 You are not authorized to use T-Code MB1B.
    If I don't block the or assigned the Original T-code, there is chance to user will use original T-Code instead of variant.
    How can we solve this problem.
    Please advice.
    With thanks,
    DSC

  • Some messages sent/received on my iphone and ipad do NOT show in Messages Beta. Why?

    In the past 4 weeks I started experiencing this issue: some of the messages I send from my iphone and ipad will NOT show in Messages Beta for Mac OSX. Likewise, some of the messages received on my iphone and ipad often don't show on my Messages Beta.

    HI,
    The best I have on this at the moment is that the Messages App is still Beta.
    Secondly there have been some changes to the way the iMessages parts are syncing.
    This may be due to Apple making changes to the iMessages server and the resultant sync issue to do with that.
    Of course in the change over, if my guess is right, some messages may have been lost.
    Some of this seems to be altering the  way Messages get Flagged as to whether they were delivered or not.

  • How do I get rid of the message "To use this machine for downloads, enter you Apple ID and password" which I now see twice since I downloaded the latest version of iTunes? Once is enough and no checkbox exists to say "do not show this message.....".

    When I start iTunes, how do I get rid of the message "To use this machine for downloads, enter you Apple ID and password" which I now see twice since I downloaded the latest version of iTunes.  Once is enough and no checkbox exists to say "do not show this message....."

    Does this apply?

  • Compressor does not show success message

    Compressor finishes job but not give message. Message is 0:00:00 remaining.
    Does not give success message even though the job is finished.
    Compressor 4.0.7 on iMac 21,5, Core i5 2.5, 4GB RA,  OS X 10.8.3 (12D78) - Mountain Lion
    Not long ago it worked normally.
    Now, finishes rendering, however, does not show the message finished

    I know what you mean. When it has happened to me, I have been able to get it to complete by hitting cancel. Then in the file info field of the job pane, adding a numeral to the name. Then re-submitting. The encoding progress bar would quickly go to the end and complete,

  • Contacts not showing up on incoming calls although it is stored on my iPhone 5

    contacts not showing up on incoming calls although it is stored on my iPhone 5

    There could be any one of three solutions... Try these:
    1. Make sure you set your own country code at Phone Dialer Screen > Options > Smart dialing.
    Set your country code in this format: "+xx" where xx = your country code. Some countries have two or three digit Country Codes. Do not place the '+' in your contact's entry.
    * In the US, set this Country Code as "+1", and place your loca area code in the proper box (this normally the default setting in a new BB).
    2. At the same location, change the National Number Length to the number of digits for your country (since some countries will have less than 10 as set as the default in the BB). Find out the total digits, minus the country code. Do not place the '+' in your contact's entry.
    * For example, some countries have a total number to 8 (plus 3 for country code). You would enter "8".
    3. You may have "Content Protection" set on your Address Book.
    Look at Options > Security > General Settings. Scroll down to Content Protection > Include Address Book = NO.
    On your device, it could be at Options > Password.

  • Contact info not showing in messages

    Since upgrading to IOS7 my ipad will not show contact info for messages. On my iphone the upgrade works fine.

    Hi, In such case, try to check the things below:
    1> Make sure all contacts are stored in unique memory : sim or phone memory (recommend phone memory)
    2> Try to avoid 1 contacts has few numbers and other case, similar or same names for fews contacts
    3> Add your country code into the normal number format, eg: 0123455678 --> saved as +60 12345678 (+60 is the country code for MY)
    4> Check the settings under Contacts folder: Contacts > Settings > Contact view or Display contacts > try to change Last name/ First name view option one by one

  • 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)
