All my contacts come up as "Unknown" in my iPhone5.  How do I fix this?  

Open iTunes and connect your iPod. Select your iPod in iTunes from the Source list. (I'm assuming this still works, although you didn't indicate if it did or didn't.) Make sure the box is checked to Open iTunes when this device is connected. You should be all set!

  • Upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

    upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

    Greetings,
    Questions:
    1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
    2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
    3. Do you backup your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427)? 
    --- If you don't regularly backup your computer, now is the time to start.
    4. Do you backup your iPhone (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766)?
    Check the calendar list on the left hand side of iCal.  Is it that the individual events are duplicated or is it just that you have the same calendar listed more than once?  If its that you have more than 1 copy of each calendar, you can delete one of the duplicate calendars to eliminate the duplicates.
    If you find that it is the individual events that are duplicated then there are 2 options:
    1. Restore your computer iCal database or iPhone from a backup made before the duplication occurred.
    2. Use a duplication removal program (or do it by hand) to remove the duplicates: http://www.nhoj.co.uk/icaldupedeleter/
    If you have a backup made before the duplication occurred, reply back with what kind of backup you have and I'll suggest how to recover the calendars.
    To avoid this issue in the future:
    Keep regular backups.  They are your best defense against data anomalies which are a fact of life in computers (although hopefully rare).
    Keep your computer and iPhone software fully up to date (Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update).
    Make sure the date and time on your computer and iPhone are correct before you sync the two devices.
    Make sure the cable connections between the two is solid and that the cable shows no signs of physical damage.
    Hope that information helps.

  • All of my purchased apps (games) and apps such as Weight Watchers, Facebook, WeatherBug, Sports and Pinterest, Notes, Nook, etc.  are all locked up.  They simply flash, then nothing!  How can I fix this to make them work again.

    First Issue:   All of my purchased apps (games) and apps such as Weight Watchers, Facebook, WeatherBug, Sports and Pinterest, Notes, Nook, etc.  are all locked up.  They simply flash, then nothing!  How can I fix this to make them work again?  If I have to delete the purchased apps, will they still be in iTunes, or will I have to re-purchase them? 
    Second Issue:   When I synced to my desktop (Windows XP)  All my photos loaded onto my iPad2.  I don't really want all 3000 + pics on my ipad!!  How do I get them off?  Next time I synced, they loaded again!  Now I have so many duplicates!  How do I get rid of the photos and prevent this from happening again?

    If none of your third-party apps are working, but the Apple built-in ones are ok, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted. In terms of re-downloading apps then you can do so as long as they are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    For synced photos, then with the iPad connected to and selected on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, then on the Photos tab on the right-hand side you can control which photos are synced to the iPad : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236 . If you don't want any photos to be synced then try selecting just an empty folder.

    Try deleting the cache associated wi the App Store.
    Quit the App Store if it's open.
    Now open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy/paste:   ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
    Try the App Store.

  • All messages are marked as spam, 5.7.1 ? how do I fix this, I can receive messages but cant send.

    All messages are marked as spam, 5.7.1 ? how do I fix this, I can receive messages but cant send.

    Oh with the rot that goes on with emails and spam filters these days almost anything can be considered spam. Mail addresses to your self can be all that is required for it to be spam on some systems, so test using your email address to check it is working must be done with an account not hosted bu the same provider, given the web site is not blacklisted.
    I checked before replying, as brand new web sites are often blacklisted because they share a server or IP address range that is blacklisted (Poor neighborhood) or the server is run from a dynamic IP address and therefore considered to be a home computer with an infection.
    One thing you can try is go to the account settings on the tools menu, open the settings pane by clicking on the account name and removing any reply to address. (some spam filters get all excited about reply to addresses. If that does not work I suggest you contact hostbox for a more detailed instruction on why your mail is considered "confirmed spam".
    But please let us know how you get on.

  • No matter what wi-fi I'm connected to or browser I'm using, webpages take forever to load or they never load at all. Other computers do not have any problems. How can i fix this?

    No matter what wi-fi I'm connected to or browser I'm using, webpages take forever to load or they never load at all. Other computers do not have any problems. How can i fix this?
    I've tried safari, chrome, firefox...I've cleared the cache as well. This has been going on for several months and used to be tolerable as it was not every website. Now it has become every website and is impossible to deal with. My roommates computer and my cell phone connect fine. I'm fully connected to the router yet websites don't load. I'm using 10.7.5. Thank you!!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
