HT4061 iphone does not recognise contacts

My iphone 4s does not recognise the contacts in my address book when the contact me.  For example, when my son texts me, even though he is saved in my contacts, his name does not appear.
Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry, it always seems to work for me on any phone numbers sent to me.

  • IPhone does not sync contacts after uninstalling mobileme

    I tried MobileMe, and could not get it to sync. I decided to uninstall, and having done so, cannot get contacts to sync, or even reset from iTunes. iCal does sync, but contacts do not, I have tried a reset, as above, I have tried deleting the backup, and then adding the phone as a new device, deleting all the data on the phone, and while it says it syncs, I am still showing old contact data. I can't even figure out that one, it's almost as if it is still using the MobileMe data, even though I deleted my MobileMe account from my iPhone, which restored my ability to sync directly.

  • I have changed the Apple ID in the main ID settings but my iPhone does not recognise this. I have added this to the main account but it does not accept the password.

    I changed from iPhone 4s to iphone 5s. While doing the set up, I also renamed my Apple ID. However, allowed the old Id to be an alternate. However, now my iphone refuses to accept the password - neither the new one or the old one. What do I do?

    Hello, pryiyer.

    I would recommend reaching out to our Apple ID Account Security team to assist you with this issue.

  • Messaging Application does not recognise contact n...

    Hi people, My phone is an E70 with 2.0618.07.10 (31-08-06) firmware. I updated it to this firmware via NSU. It had .07 firmware before.The Messaging app. had an annoying problem, which seems to be not fixed with the new firmware.
    I set the Contacts app. to show names as "First name Last name". When I send a message, the Messaging app. shows my sent message's recipient correctly as "First Last", but when I receive a message, the sender is shown as "Last First".
    I had seen in a forum that western european firmwares do not have this behaviour and set contact preferences correctly.
    Does anyone have this problem? Also is there a possibility to explain the problem directly to Nokia sw. engineers bypassing support here in Turkey? (There are also Turkish language related problems in the firmware which should be corrected.)
    Thanks

    Hmm. Then if I enter the number manually, it will display the contact name wrong.
    This is simply unacceptable. If I set my preference for Contacts (which is one of the primary functions for a phone, it keeps my contacts) the phone should set that for every application on the phone.
    Nokia should make this a global setting, which is -looking from a programmer's view- very easy given the complexity of the operating system they managed to write.

  • Iphone does not recognise Iphone photos

    I shot normal iPhone photos (3G) which are always stored as JPG. Never had problem for them to be recognized or imported. Now though iPhoto says it is unable to determine the format and cannot import. I can see the files but they are hollow boxes. I can go on my iPhone and view the images and I have mailed a few to myself without a problem. Any suggestions anyone?

    Howdy dewibala,
    The article linked below details a number of steps that can help get your photos and videos imported to your computer.

    You don't need an app. You need couple's counseling. I believe what you want to do may also be illegal in many jurisdictions.

  • I have a 16GB iPhone 3GS. Tried synching my phone through iTunes (11.0.1 I think... on a 2009 Macbook Pro). Now when I connect to iTunes, it says it does not recognise the content on my phone. Is this because my phone (and laptop) are too old?

    Also, when I tried to Restore the settings, an Error Message pops up that says " The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. The requested resource was not found.
    I'm trying to free up space on my phone by removing [literally] thousands of old photos which were originally synched to the phone, because I had forgotten to uncheck the photos button when I synched it ages ago.
    I have also tried synching it on my 24" iMac (running OSX Snow Leopard). But again, when I try restoring the phone through itunes, it says the file is corrupted. It sggests unplugging the device, and then plugging it in again. I have done this numerous times with no success.
    I'm guessing it must be because my phone (and versions of iTunes, and OSX) are all too old.
    Please can anybody help.

    There are multiple reasons that lead to issue. You should read the troubleshooting guide to get the right solution to solve the issue: iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support

  • I changed from i iphone 5 back to a iphone 4.. now my itunes does not recognise that i have a iphone 4! how do i convert my last back up (on iphone 5) to my new iphone 4?

    In your case you can only restore from a backup that has been created with the same iOS version. An iPhone 4 can only run 7.1.2, and, unless your iPhone 5 did not run the same version, you can't use a newer iOS backup of the 5 on the iPhone 4

  • My phone does not show contact names for country and area code while having in coming calls. Although, I have endorsed the name with numbers. How do I the problem. My one is a iphone 3s device with updated os. Please text to help

    My iphone does not recognize saved contact number while having incoming calls due to country and area code as auto prefix. How do i fix the problem. How do i ensure that the phone recognize calls with and without the country and area code. Please text to help.

    1) Open the Phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
    2) When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
    3) Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating something like, "Settings updated."
    4) Open the Task Manager and kill the Phone, Message, and Contacts Applications
    5) Wait a few minutes (I waited 3 just to be extra safe)
    6) Open the Message App to verify the fix

  • After upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS6, my Find My Friends app no longer links to my Contacts and does not show contact names. It only shows e-mail addresses and does not link up to the corresponding email address in my Contacts. How can I fix this?

    I am also having problems with a site I am building. No matter what websafe font I use it displays as New Times Roman in FireFox. The correct fonts show in both IE9 and Chrome.
    In addition, text shifts in FireFox. I have to position other text objects farther and farther apart as I go down the page or they start to overlap. Nav buttons and other images also have to be positioned in the wrong place for them to be in the correct place when the page is opened in FireFox. FireFox should display pages correctly by default. I can't expect th average user to have to tweek his/her settings to display my site.
    I have been recommending FireFox on my website as the best browser. I might have to change that and abandon FireFox myself.

  • I have recently purchased a used iPhone 4, when i plugged it into my pc a skull came up instead of the apple icon.  My pc does not recognise the iPhone, I have tried everything that I can think of.  Has anybody any ideas on how I can fix this?

    I have recently purchased a used iPhone 4, when I pulg it into my pc a skull icon appears instead of the apple.  The pc also does not recognise the iPhone.  The phone was originally purchased in March of this year, so it is under 12 months old.  Has anybody encountered this problem and or know how I can fix the phone? Thanks

    You have apparently purchased a jailbroken phone.  You can try to get it into recovery mode, then restore as new, but no guarantee it will work.
