How do i get the contact name to show in my messages

I updated to the new Iphone 4 IOS 5 software and now when i get a message from anyone with iMessage it shows their number rather than their name and I want to know how to change it so I see their name and not their number.

Did you try turning iMessage off then back on and doing a restart?

    My contact names have stopped showing up in messages and phone calls.  How do I fix this problem?

    Did you change your region settings recently? (if so, set it back to the region you had before)
    Have you checked to see if your contacts are syncing properly in iCloud? (do the contacts match what you have online?)

  • I have an iphone 4s which I recently updated to iOS 7.0.4. Now my contacts no longer show addresses or notes, although the phone numbers are displayed. All the correct information is still in iCloud, but how do I get the Contacts folder to show all info?

    Since I updated to iOS 7.0.4 on my iphone 4S, I can no longer see addresses or notes in my contacts on my phone. The information still exists in iCloud online.  How do I get full contact info onto my phone?
    There is another problem which may be related.  My desktop computer at work is running Windows 7, and I was recently upgraded to Office 2013.  Outlook is not showing contacts on my computer any more, just in iCloud.  However, when in iCloud, it does included addresses and notes, so I don't think this is caused by the same error as the iphone problem,
    I have refreshed, reinstalled and rebooted, to no avail.

    I would say that you would want to look into the "Exchange Mode" for GMail.  That would allow your iPhone to sync calendars, contacts and email with GMail just fine.  Doing the same with your outlook should also then sync those same with your PC using Outlook.  I've done teh iPhone side of this, but I since I don't run Lookout for my email client, I'm not sure how that will work on the PC side.

  • How do I get the contacts number to show next to their name please?

    It's my first time having a Blackberry.  I have the Curve 8520.  I've been trying to work this out for 3 days and it's driving me nuts!  
    What I'm trying to do is to send a text message to my contacts, informing them of my new number.  I know I can only send a message to 10 people at a time and also how to add them to the message but can't for the life of me work out how to add their numbers next to their names in the contacts list.  I'm used to Ericcsson where this is easy to change in the settings Display options.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have done the following:
    You can change how your contacts appear in all applications, including the phone, message list, contact list, and calendar.
    On the Home screen, click the Options icon.
    Click Language.
    Change the Name Display field.
    Press the Menu key.
    Click Save.
    Language isn't in the Menu so I'm stumped.

    Hi,
    Sorry, but do you mean filename - not sure what file number you refer to?
    For Filename, on the View menu ensure that Details and Show File Names are both checked. You may have to make the size of the thumbnails slightly larger (using the slider on the top of the windows) as the information can't be displayed if thumbnail too small.

    Actually, I really don't know what you say.
    But when you see the properties of a file in Windows, you can see there are two file size. One is called "SIze" and the other one is called "Size on disk".
    Therefore, I would like to know the size on disk but not just the size.

  • HT204053 How can I get the contacts list on my iPhone to appear in my iPad Air

    How can I get the contact list on my iPhone to appear in my iPad Air?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Please try the following…
    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', 'On My Phone' 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 syncing.

  • How do I get the file name?

    I'm kind of new to javascript -- working with a colleague who has Adobe Acrobat Professional -- I've got an *old* version of Adobe Acrobat and most of the functions don't work -- but how do we get the file name -- we're trying to develop an application -- so if the user opens c:\something.pdf, we'd like to know the file name (something.pdf).
    If we get a fully qualified path, that's fine -- I think I can parse it.
    Thank you in advance.

    The 'paty' property of the 'doc' object has been available since version 3.01.
    Using the following in the JavaScript console when the Acobat JS API Refenece is open:
    this.path;
    returns:
    this.path;
    /C/Program Files/Adobe/Acrobat 8.0/Help/ENU/JS_api_reference.pdf

  • My messages won't say the contact name only shows the phone number, how do you change this when the contact is in my phone under that number already?

    My messages won't say the contact name only shows the phone number, how do you change this when the contact is in my phone under that number already?

    I thought that at first, but I have text this person before and had received responses in a timely manner. Its just weird that it all of a sudden removed their name.
    Would this affect the delivery of the text message?

  • How do I get the directory name that a class is located in?

    How do I get the directory name that a class is located in? I have a class located under /com/dhcmc and I want to be able to retrieve the "/com/dhcmc" that the class is residing under so that I can then use this directoy name to build a relative path name for the other directories supporting the application such as the images directory etc i.e.
    |---com
    |   \---dhcmc       (my class resides here)
    |       +---images  (supporting app dirs under the class dir)
    |       +---config  (supporting app dirs under the class dir)

    You can try the methods.
    Class.getClassLoader()
    Class.getResourceAsStream()
    Class.getResource()
    You probably wont get the complete directory path, but you might
    be able to load the files relative to your classes directory.

  • How do I get the procedure name

    Hi,
    With help of our application we are updating one table (P_Balance) in this account status and date through some procedures.
    in some situation only account status column get proper value, but date column having NULL value.
    Now we decided to track this, through which procedure this date column get updated null value.
    For this I decided to write one trigger for the table "P_BALANCE" through which procedure this update is happening.
    How do I get the procedure name.

    You could use DBMS_UTILITY.FORMAT_CALL_STACK and do it. Something like this.

      2  begin
      3    if :new.no is null then
      4       insert into track_call_stack

    14    end if;
    15  end;
    16  /

  • C Programming: How can we get the filesystem name for a given file-path?

    C Programming: How can we get the filesystem name for a given file-path?
    Say I have a filepath=/mnt1/file1
    Using some OS API like stat, can I get the Filesystem /mnt ?
    Thanks in advance,
    -V

    Enter the command up to the point of entering the file path and add a space, then drag the file into the terminal window. It will fill out the path.
    If you need to go further into the contents of the Application package, you can continue with /Contents...
    Another way is to start typing and then hit Tab to auto-complete. It will stop where it can't determine the next letter.
    So, type /App tab and it will fill in /Applications. Type a / and start with the name of the app, then tab and it should complete. Continue till you have the correct path.
    Spaces will be replaced with \<space>, so, App Store would end up as /Applications/App\ Store.app
