Contacts not showing

When i dial the name of the contact, i do not get the person whom i want to contact but when i search for the contact from the contract list, that individual is visible. Why is this happening?

Try settings-apps-all-contacts,force stop and clear data. Make sure to have a backup of your contacts.

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.

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.

Contacts not showing after clicking on dial button

Hi Everyone,
I am new to this forum, we are currenlty testing the new Blackberry Z10 to be used in our company.
I came across a problem that with a user with his contacts, we are using the Microsft Active Synch option with a traveler server. The contacts are all synching fine etc. Now the problem is that when clicking on the dial button I only see the standard sim card contacts. Somehow it does not show the contacts
When going to contacts they are all there. Also when I dial from those contacts the name does not come up it only shows the number in dial menu. Looks like a bug or a incorrect setting on the device.
Can someone reply to this
Thanks in advance!
Hesperus

Try rebooting the device by long pressing the lock button and selecting restart. That should mostly resolve the problem. The phone app at times takes time to show the contacts corresponding to the phone numbers.

-1 email? contacts not showing up in Maps?

recently i've been having some issues with the email and map features.
one of my gmail accounts constantly has a "-1" email hanging around. it will show up as "-1" on my front screen and will subtract one email from my new email (ex: if i have 4 new messages in this account, it will show on the accounts screen that i only have 3).
also, lately contacts will not show up when i'm using maps but they still show up in my contacts list. say i'm looking for directions to a friend's house and type in the first couple letters of their name. names from my contact list will show, but no address, even if i press the name on the pop-up list. also, if i press the "bookmark" button in the address field and then select a contact, it still won't bring up an address for that contact.
this has only started happening since i upgraded to 1.1.3.
any ideas? i've tried restarting the iphone several times but it changes nothing. i'll probably try resetting everything, but i still don't know if this will fix anything if it's software related.

seriously, am i the only one having these problems?
any suggestions on how i might fix them?

Contacts not showing up in iCloud

contacts on iPhone and on MacBook Pro not showing up in iCloud

Welcome to the Apple Community.
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact settings.

Outlook 2010 contacts not showing phone number in Lync 2013 client

Hi,
We have Lync 2013 with Exchange 2010. Recently we started upgrading Lync clients from 2010 to 2013.
A few users started reporting that their local Outlook contacts does not show phone numbers in Lync 2013 (working with 2010)
I have installed the august patch which should solve this issue
981751 - Lync 2013 does not display telephone number of an Outlook 2010 contact in the contact card
Any idea where to look next?

Hi Tobias Borgen Nielsen,
Lync expects all the phone numbers to be in the E.164 format, meaning they should be +1-111-11111111 etc. If they’re not like this, you will have to normalize them if you want Lync
to publish them.

Mail and contacts not showing in application switcher

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, mail and contacts are not showing in the application switcher.
So, I have to re-open mail and contacts if I switch screens - it is absolutely infuriating because I constantly switch screens when I work.
Does anyone else have the same issue? My mail and contacts are on exchange server, which may have something to do with it?

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

My Facebook contacts not showing up in Mac Contacts.app!

After the introduction of syncing your Facebook contacts with iOS, my contacts aren't syncing through iCloud completely.
Contacts that are added through Facebook show up in my iPhone Contacts but are not showing in the Contacts.app on my Mac (Mntn Lion).
When I manually add a field to a Facebook contact on my iPhone it does finally sync to my Mac. But then I would have to find all my missing Facebook contacts so this is not a solution.
The solutions offered on http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998 have not solved anything.
Anyone else with this issue, solution? Thanks.

That's because they are not on iCloud, they are on Facebook which is a seperate account.
Add the Facebook account to your Mac.

Exchange 2003 Active Sync - Contacts not showing up on BB10

Hi Everyone, i am hoping someone can help. We have been assumig all along the problem was with our Exchange Server 2003 config and new informaiton has come to light that makes me believe now it is a device issue and I am hoping someone has seen this problem.
The core probllem is that contacts are not syncing propertly. They are syncing VERY slowly - it has been 7 Hours and only a hundred or so have moves over. The assumption was they werent copyng over, however new information has led us to potentially believe they are coming over but are being processed by the Z10 and not showing up in the contact list.
My unit is hooked up to my car on bluetooth and everytime i start my car - it copies over my contact list. I then noticed that there are contacts which have been copies over, which do NOT show up yet on my blackberry (but are in my exchange contacts) - so my car found the contact from the Z10 and now 3 hours later, that contact is still not in my BB Contacts. I know for sure that contact wasnt cahced in my car memory, as it is a new contact i created on my office computer only a few hours prior....
This is making me believe that the Z10 is processing the contacts in some way or the index on my BB contacts is bad.
What have I dont todate to resolve the issue:
- complete wipe and reload (3 times)
Today:
Removed the battery and restarted - numberous times
Interestingly, everytme i reboot the device, more contacts appear in my list??? Considering i have approx 800 contacts, this would only mean i have about 500 reboots left before my contacts are all there?
HELP

Hi Jjang,
To resolve this for you it would really help if we could gather logs and do some testing. Could you please ask your wireless service provider to open a case with BlackBerry on your behalf so we can look after this for you?
Thanks.

Exchange contacts not showing up in Spotlight

For some reason the contacts in the Address Book that are from the Exchange server are not showing up in a Spotlight search. Other contacts that are 'On My Mac' work just fine.
I tried trashing the 'Metadata' folder but that didn't fix the problem.
Any ideas?

A temporary fix is to copy all exchange contacts to "on my mac". This doesn't duplicate on the exchange server and does not duplicate entries when emailing.
I am also wondering about push vs fetch. Has anyone else realized that messages, calendar items, and contacts are not being pushed. The programs are all fetching them off the server? Is this a bug? What interval do other people use to fetch their exchange mail?

Birthdays in contacts not showing on calendar

When I put birthdays in the birthday field for a contact they do not show up in my calendar. I had a treo and they used to do that. How do I make that happen on the Pre?
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

There is currently no way to make this happen on the Pre...
The only way I know is to enter the birthday in your google contacts (no sync for birthdays there yet, either) and then activate the "Friends birthday" calendar in google calendar...
Then your Pre can sync with that calendar and display your birthdays... easy isn't it? ;-)
