E-mail messages show numbers instead of punctuation

e.g. when someone writes "I'll come there, we'd all meet" it shows up as I51ll come there, we51d all meet. Not on all messages, but quite a few. Font problem? I'm a brand new switchover from pc to mac, so this is my first post for help (I'm sure it won't be my last). Thanks.

the Fault Monitoring part in LMs 4.x is still under the control of DFM and DFM is very special with this. If name resolution is not working for a device at the time it is added to fault monitoring, it will be added by its IP address. And this will never change until eternity or - until you remove and readd the device in LMS.
With LMs 4.x it is not possible to just remove a device from fault mangement so you have to remove it from DCR:
Inventory > Device Mangement > Add,Import Mange Device
It is added to LMS again with the next discovery cyle;
Make a test with one device and see if it helps ( for sure, first double check the name resolution)

  • Facebook chat in OS X Messages shows numbers instead of names

    Though I have used Facebook chat in iChat and now OS X's Messages programs for many years now with few issues (some disconnecting issues here and there but that's about it) The past few days I have encountered a problem that I can't figure out how to fix.
    Whenever I first launch Messages and it logs me into FB chat, the names of my friends show up correctly for a handful of seconds. Then, suddenly all of the names and pictures disappear and instead turn into numbers (those aren't the actual numbers, just examples of what it looks like.) So my buddy/friends list becomes populated with all of these numbers and I can't tell who is who.
    If I quit Messages and relaunch it, again I will see the proper names of my friends for a handful of seconds after logging in, but it always turns right back into a bunch of numbers.
    I'm thinking this MUST be a server problem since not a single thing has changed on my computer.
    Anyone else experiencing the same thing? Can anyone help?
    Thank you.

    HI,
    I missed this thread as it was not tagged with the Messages Category.
    However I have read most of the other threads in Mountain Lion and the iChat Communities on this issue.
    I have read that it does not appear to effect Adium but has been reported effecting other Jabber Client app.
    It is effecting both Messages in Mountain Lion and iChat in earlier versions of the OS.
    It does appear to be a Facebook issue as the Buddy list will display User IDs unless linked to an Address Card when it will display the "Real Name" in your Address Book.
    Obviously the numbers are linked to the Jabber IDs at Facebook  (Any account with "Chat" enabled) but are not actually Jabber IDs as you lose the Buddy icon replaced with the generic Head and Shoulders icon.
    I have asked the Hosts to remove pics in some posts that contain snapshots of the issue.
    Although the issue is not Apple's there are considerations about whether they are seen to be assisting in posting Facebook users info.

  • Why did contacts suddenly show numbers instead of names on calls and messages?

    My calls and messages stopped showing names and started showing numbers instead? Why?

  • IChat shows numbers instead of names for facebook contacts, how to fix?

    I just started using iChat for Facebook Chat, but it shows numbers instead of names for most of my contacts.
    Is there any workaround for this?
    Adium shows names just fine, but I want to use iChat instead.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    With AIM names there is an Option on the  AIM pages to change your Display name. (in your Account Settings)
    If you have an AIM Buddy list and stick in my Screen Name (ralphjohnsr) you will notice it displays as Ralph johns R with the Upper case letters and spaces.
    I am wondering if FaceBook have done something similar but not everyone has changed (or more likley Facebook are using the "wrong" list or haven't told anyone).
    The strange thing is only the two of you have mentioned it so far so there is probably some other explanation.
    On the Address Book Front I have added (level 4) to some Buddies that I happen to know via these Apple Forums (under the previous software there were only 5 Levels of posters) when we used to chat using iChat on a more regular basis.
    iChat does allow you to Create Nicknames in the Info Card but this Adds them to the Address Book.
    (it also has difficulty with lots of Nicknames that are the same such as Dave for David)
    It would interesting to know if Adium "Sees" the numbers instead of names. (Or ProteusX if anyone has it)

  • OT - Attack of the As? Mail is showing As instead of E-mail content?

    Hi all:
    In the past few days, most of the e-mails I am receiving are showing up as full of little As, some inside boxes, some just lines of As. It seems that they are mostly showing up instead of signatures, graphics, etc. Very strange. I use Mail and I can send and receive my own e-mails with graphics attached and they show up fine. I mailed myself an e-mail with a graphic attached to test it and the result was perfect.
    Tried deleting Mail prefs (com.apple.mail.plist) but unfortunately that is where Apple also keeps your mailboxes so I couldn't delete the .plist.
    Has anyone experienced this weirdness and if so, how did you fix it? It is really obnoxious not being able to see half of the content of your e-mails. Some logos show up but most seem to be getting turned into As as well as a lot of content. This just started a few days ago, I have not updated software or anything new lately since this began.
    Anyone have any advice on how to solve this issue?
    Thanks,
    Dan Brockett

    It sounds as though you have corrupted fonts.
    What I would suggest is a safe boot, pram reset and a general repair of permissions.
    Not necessarily in that order. Try changing the font that mail uses in mail preferences. You should be able to identify which font is causing the problem.

  • Calendar showing numbers instead of name of day in week view

    Mavericks Calendar is showing numbers from 1 to 7 in stead of the name of the day (mon, tue ... etc) in week view. Any solutions?

    dike,
    If you refer to the Function Help in the Inspector, you will see that in Numbers WEEKDAY returns a number representing the day of the week. To convert that to the name of the day, you must wrap WEEKDAY in a DAYNAME function, as follows:

  • Recieved SMSs showing numbers instead of contact names

    Hi
    My iPhone 4 shows only numbers starting with +20 (Egypt's International code) with recieved SMSs and the only way to show contact names is to add +20 to all of my contacts (with an app) but that would make recieved "calls" show numbers and not names !!!
    Any way to fix that ?

    Check to see if you have contacts in your Contacts app. This is something that can happen sometimes, and is usually cured by resetting the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. No data will be lost.

  • Why is my Messages app showing numbers instead of contacts?

    So my iPhone 4S had a dead pixel so I got a replacement from the Apple Store. I set it up, loaded my iCloud backup and imported my contacts. Texts showed up, labeled as numbers and not as the contact that corresponds to that number.
    Consequently, when I message someone, like John Smith in Messages, the header will no longer show up as John Smith, but as his number. Any fixes?
    Important note: this bug also occurs with iMessage, and it's insistent on adding a 1 to the number. Not sure if this is the case with calls.

    I am seeing a similar problem. But only on two contacts, my wife and son, who both have iPhone 4's with iOS 5. I have added the phone numbers to contacts multiple times, but the keep reverting back to phone numbers and once from number to the name.

  • When switching my CallerID to my AppleID, my iphone shows numbers instead of contact names.

    I recently bought a shiny new iPad 3, and decided I want my imessages in sync between my iphone (4) and my iPad. To that end, I switched my callerID in my iphone settings (settings > messages > Receive at > Caller ID) to my apple-id, and made sure it's the same between my ipad and iphone. The syncing works beautifully and I'm very happy about it.
    However, my iPhone started showing the phone number instead of the contact name for imessages. I verified, on my ipad it shows the name still. My address book is synced via iCloud, and my contact's aren't duplicated. (Each phone number is unique)
    When I set the callerID back to my own phone number, it correctly shows the name, but my imessages aren't in sync anymore. Really annoying. Is there anything I can do to force iOS to always show the contact name instead of the phone number in messages?
    EDIT: some "regular" sms contacts aren't showing their names either after switching. Very strange.

    I had this problem since i restored my iPhone 4 onto my iPhone 4s. turned out to be a corrupted address book database on the phone.
    deleting the database @ /Users/Library/AddressBook (all files starting with AddressBook) (while Addressbook NOT running and when iCloud sync and iTunes sync both off) and re-run address book to create empty database before re enable sync solved it!

  • Printing Mail message page numbers

    Wehn I print a multiple page message that I have received, the pages are not numbered.
    How do I tell the printer to put page numbers on the message?

    Since Mail (nor any other mail program I've ever used
    or heard of) has this feature, you can't get page
    numbers on your email.
    I beg to differ. Eudora prints page numbers and summarizes who the mail is from on each page. This is a desireable feature.
    If you don't want to print mail that is your privilege, those of us who do want to print would like to have the option to see page numbers.
    Eudora also gives you the option of displaying the local time when a message was sent, not only the time you download it.

  • Outgoing e mail messages showing offline

    Any suggestions, everyone of my e mail accounts is showing offline when I go to send out an email, apart from one. Receiving messages no problem.

    You havenot posted enough information for people to help you. What computer, what model? What Mac OS version? What Mail program?
    If your OS is really Win XP as in your profile, there is no general Windows support here unless you have a Mac running Win via Boot Camp.

  • Service-Desk-Message shows 'SLFN0003' instead of 'SUPPORT-TEAM' ??

    Hello together,
    after Initial-Configuration and 75% of the Basis-Configuration (solman_setup) on the Solution-Manager,
    the service-desk shows 'SLFN0003' (function) instead of the text of the partner (support team).
    We've checked the Partner-Maintenance on SPRO and all fields are correct.
    Why does the system shows the wrong value and what's the cause (which step of solman_setup).
    thank you for your help in advance
    kind regards

  • Numbers show numbers instead of calendardays

    Hi all.
    I imported a Mircosoft Excel calendar sheet into numbers
    So for exsample, cell A1 hold a date. In cell B1 is the formula "=WEEKDAY(A1)"
    The problem is, Microsoft Excel for exsample shows me "Sunday", but Numbers shows me "1" for the 1st day of the week.
    Any hints for this problem?

  • Some Mail messages show html code

    I am using Mail 6.2 and Gmail IMAP.  Some Mail that I move from my Inbox to another Mail folder part of the message appears in html code in the folder where I moved the message.  The html code did not appera while the message was in my In Box.  If I look at the message in Gmail, no html code appears and the message has the same lable as the Mail folder where I moved the message.  If i look at the message on my iPad there is no html code.  The problem only appears to happen within Apple Mail

    By the way, also, the html code is interpreted correctly by the html tester on the following web site:
    http://www.webtutorialplus.com/html-code-tester.aspx
    So it seems that perhaps a simple edit should make it compatible with Mail App.
    I have verified that all uninterpreted messages where all I see is html raw code, are interpreted and rendered beautifully by the tool at the link above.  All I need do is to coy and paste the body of the message.   So it seems that what is missing is something to trigger the interpretation in Mail App.   Right?
