Email contacts don't show up when composing email

Hi,
I recently got an iPad2 and added a couple of email accounts including gmail and yahoo mail. However, i noticed a key difference when composing email from an iPad rather than on an Iphone.
On my iPhone4 when I compose an email and in the 'To:' address field I start typing the name of my contact iphone is able to search from my contact list from my gmail account, however this does not happen on the Ipad.
Any idea how to fix this?
I have set-up my email accounts in the same way as I did on my phone.
Thanks very much

It also work on the iPad, so try to turn off/on your iPad or a reset, keep the On/off button and the Home button pressed at the same time till you see the Apple logo in your screen.

My contacts don't show up when people call

I reset the settings on my iPhone 4s and now my contact names don't show up when people call. It only shows the number, but they are still listed in the contact list. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Which phone do you have ?
This happens when there are multiple entries with the same phone no.
Also if the same contacts are stored on SIM and in Phone memory also and you have selected to show contacts from both these destinations..
In contacts-->Options-->settings.. contacts to display.. select preferably the Phone memory only.. Also save the contacts to Phone memory to get better functionality of the phone book.. There are many limitations of storing contacts on SIM.. Periodically take back-up on PC to avoid unforeseen problems with your device..

The names of my contacts are not showing up when I receive text messages

The names of my contacts are not showing up when I receive text messages, only the number is showing up. How can I fix this?

This is a HUGE iOS bug.. Following a tip from another poster, I was able to fix the issue (temporarily).
This worked for me on Verizon.
I dialed *228 on my Verizon phone. I pressed "1" to activate it over the air. I then went into task manager and killed all the running apps.. Waited a few minutes.
The next text I got displayed the number correctly!.. Until I rebooted, that is.
PLEASE, call Apple and speak with a senior engineer on this. They can't fix it if they don't know it's a problem! (800) MY-IPHONE

Hi, Mrs.Frankie57.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you want to delete a song from your iOS device on iOS 7, tap Songs, swipe the song from right to left, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

Are you using one of the Web_Safe_Fonts Web Safe Fonts? If not then any computer that does not have it installed as Kirk pointed out will substitute some other similar font and change the appearance of the page.

Can you select multiple contacts all at one time when composing an email?

Would like to know if there's a way to select multiple contacts when composing a large blast email to family etc. I really don't want to create a separate group I would rather just select from contacts as I go. This list changes depending what I'm emailing. Just ***** when trying to send mass email out on the fly while staying in touch with family.

Czar Nicholas-
The only way I know is to select Edit at the top of the mailbox list of messages. Then touch the circle by each you want to delete. When finished selecting, press Delete at the bottom of that window.

CONTACTS DON'T SHOW WHEN THEY CALL

Okk.,. My contacts are there. But when a person calls there name does not show up there number just show. Then once im done with the call there name shows in the call log. please Helpp!

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 local 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.
*If you don't see this here, your device operating system handles this differently. Look at Options > Security > Encryption.

E72-1 Some Phone book Contacts don't show up while...

Hello users,
So i came along with a very odd kind of error while using my E72-1 .Since I am a new user of this phone, do tell me if am wrong somewhere.
So the problem is like when i try to forward some message to multiple recipients i type the first few letters of their name in the phone book search box. SO i found out that there are some contacts that don't show up in the list if u don't add their name at the first place in the recipients list. To add them as recipient i have to go back to the message and again select add recipient and then type their name to search. And this time the contact can be seen. this going back and forth for adding contacts is annoying. Instead i wanted to select the recipients in one go by checking the boxes beside the contacts in the list.
Please help me with this bug..and if i'am missing out on something do point me out.
thank you.

I would reset your pone a million times, you also probably have too many contacts, you need to use the phone correctly, and you need to change it.
Apart from that you could create contact groups and add whichever contacts to those.
That's humor for all You folks, it doesn't get any better then this!

HT204150 Gmail contacts don't show up

Contacts from gmail don't show up on iCloud contacts or mail accounts or contacts on ipad. How do you set this up to make these sync?
Any ideas greatly appreciated.

How do you have your gmail account set up? If you want your contacts synced you have to set it up as an Exchange account. Google for the proper instructions.

N97 contacts don't show up

Okay, to cut a long story short... I tried to install an app on my phone and the installation failed. After that I started to get a "system error" message every few minutes on my phone. I decided to do a soft reset on the phone. This sorted out the error message..... BUT all my contacts seemed to have been deleted from the phone book! and all of my photos are no longer in the default photo album on the phone, but seem to be present in the downloaded "photo browser" from nokia!
the strangest thing is this though... when one of my friends calls me... their contact details (i.e their name) shows up on my phone! but they are not there in the phone book! what's going on?
i thought a soft reset just deleted user settings, not the contents of the mem card.
anyway, can someone figure out how to restore my contacts to my phone book. they have GOT to be there somewhere, because they show up when someone calls me!
thanks

I have the same problem

Contacts don't show up

Hey,
Since a few days (maybe since I installed the iChat update?) my contacts won't show up in my list when they are online! And I also appear offline in their lists!
So basicly we can't use iChat.
What could be wrong?

Hi
First try this log on to AIM on port 443 rather than port 5190.
Go to IChat > Preferences > Accounts.
Log out of AIM and then use the Server Settings tab
Set the port to 443.
Log back in again.

Stop contact name from showing up when receiving sms

i dont want to jailbreak.. is there a stock way to stop the contact from showing up when i get an sms?
thank you
Message was edited by: maxgraham

that assumption does not take into account privacy from friends in close proximity... phone is screen up on the table at dinner, i get a text from someone, it lights up and others at the table instinctively look, seeing who is texting me. This is a problem. A jealous girlfriend/boyfriend could react simply to seeing another girl/boys name (could be completely innocent).
it has led to changing the contact name in the phone since there is no way to stop it showing up, putting the phone face down defeats the purpose of notifications at all (especially in loud places where the sound or vibration cannot be heard)
