HT5824 names are no longer showing up in text messages to show who its from; just phone numbers

I don't know when it happened but I suddenly started seeing phone numbers instead of my contact names when I received a text message. When I go to my contacts, they names are there, but the addresses and birthday or notes information is all missing.

If you are syncing contacts with iCloud, go to icloud.com and see if the missing information is in your contacts there. If it is, go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then after 30 seconds or so, turn Contacts back on.

My iPhone 4S just replaced the names of my contacts in text messages and my favorites with only their phone numbers. Names are gone. The option to add new contacts also appears to be gone. I tried the *228 and it did not work. Help!

My iPhone 4S has replaced the names of my contacts in text messages and under my favorites- only their phone number shows. I updated today but this actually happened beforehand. I have tried restating the phone, and also *228. Neither have worked. Can someone help me??

My wife is having the same problems as a reciever. She works in a school as a teaching assistant and her teacher sends messages that are mixed with previous texts from ages ago.
Can anyone shed some light on this problem or is it only her and this poster?

Contact names are no longer showing in "Messages"

Yesterday I updated the software for the iphone 4s, and now when I look at my messages it is only showing phone numbers and not names. How do I get the phone to show contact names again? Even if I hit the number to make a call, the contact name still does not appear.

Hi Doloho,
There will be a couple different steps we want you to try having a 3G device. I recommend you first call *228 and select option 1 for the programming. Wait until the programming is successful and verify the device power cycles. Once this is done, if your contact names are still not appearing I want you to check the numbers you are contacting. When using text messages does it show a 10-digit number (area code 7 digits)? In the contact list, do they show 10-digits or 11-digits. Is this happening with all of your contacts or just some users? If it's only some, can you confirm if these were contacts manually entered or synced through another service (Gmail, Facebook or another service)? I look forward to hearing back so we can address this.
Thank you,

How to not allow someone to load text messages that have been deleted from the phone however apps are still able to reteive them

Someone is trying to access the text messages that have been deleted off of my phone thru an app (unknown app)
I do have somethings that I want to remain private in my phone and I either need help to delete them for good. Or block them

Let me rephrase that. They can't unless they had physical possession of your phone and installed spyware on it.

The songs I've added to my itunes library from cd's are no longer showing up in my itunes list. how do I put them back on from my ipod?

What do you mean by " on my itunes account"
and "in my itunes list"?

Phone numbers are no longer showing up on my email and text as links to call

Phone numbers are no longer showing up in my messages and on my emails as links so that I can call the number directly.

I too am having the same problem, and use the *228 then killing all my open apps solution to bring my numbers back to the correct format. However, as just a one time fix, I keep on getting the same problem again after a few weeks, and last week, after a few days of doing the *228 fix. Does anyone know what is causing this problem on Verizon iPhones? As a point of information, I was previously on AT&T with my iPhones until my wife transferrred me over to Verizon (on her business account because she wanted to surprise me with a new iPhone 4S).

My folders are no longer showing up in Mail

Since early this morning, I have had issues with my iCloud mail account. As of now I am able to send and receive mail fine, but the folders I used to organize messages are no longer showing up on Mail and my iPhone. Has anyone else been having issues similar to this?

I have a macbook pro 10.6.8, that cannot upgrade to Lion. My folders are gone, and now I cannot send or receive email I've tried doing what this page recommended to no avail. So far, mail is working on my iphone and my ipad, and imac, just not my old macbook pro. I keep getting a prompt to log into my mail. When I put in the password it says it doesn't recognize the password even though I'm putting in the correct password. Somebody help.

I have iphoto 6 and my pictures are no longer showing. I have tried importing them but it just give me an error msg. (file format not recognized) I have tried rebuilding the iphoto library but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions?

I have iphoto 6 and my pictures are no longer showing. I have tried importing them but it just give me an error msg. (file format not recognized) I have tried rebuilding the iphoto library but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions?

How did you rebuild?
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/">iPhoto Library Manager</a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Rewire bus names are too long.

Hi. Logic Pro 10.1 - Mavericks - Rewire inputs on Aux channel strips.
Many rewire bus names are too long to see the channel numbers so the lists end up with no numbers (e.g. "RW:Reaper Outp" repeated over and over for all the inputs). I can't see a way to edit the names or apply a name mask (even in the environment) in Logic like you can in a lot of other DAWs. Is this possible in Logic?
Thanks.

I re-booted my desktop and now the files are transfering. Not sure why the difference? I looked around on other posts and tried their suggestions.
I am very careful to not use illegal file names and have taught classes at our Camera Club on proper file naming conventions because of all the issues members have had submitting digital photos for various projects. As a webmaster, I have to be very careful with my file naming on Unix/Linux/ Apache servers too.
The error wasn't any speficic file as I was transfering a folder for a whole year of photos.
Thank you for answering. I hope it all keeps working?

This issue is found in the following scenarios:
1. When apple TVs are in the same vlan.
In the above example, as the both 10.240.160.33 and 10.240.160.32 are wired and they are in same VLAN, their multicast packets reach each other even though AirGroup is there.
So they are acting as sleep proxy server for each other. However, It should not cause any issue for mirroring application. When user selects a ATV(Confern-room-6/ios200-2) from his iPad for mirroring, it should be getting displayed on the ATV which ever he has chosen.
2. When the option sleep proxy is enabled.

Apple changed my Apple ID to the email address associated with my iTunes account. I now can no longer access my account because the old user name is no longer valid and has no password. I have been on the phone with tech support for hours trying to fix.

Is this itunes on the iPad or on my computer? Thank you for the reply.

Can i put an unavailable message as a response to text messages so people who are texting me will know that I am unavailable and for how long?

I'm going to be out of the country for a few weeks. I have an iPhone 4s. Can I put an unavailable message as a response to text messages so people who are texting me will know that I am unavailable and for how long?

No. Sorry. Check with your carrier. Perhaps they offer such a service.

I bought a new 5s and its front and back camera are not working, showing black image. My phone is IOS 7 updated, and some one insisted that its is software updation problem, and can be resolved by updating to IOS 8. Kindly suggest.

I have the same issue on my iPhone 5s
I've closed the app and re-booted the phone several times but it did not resolve the issue.
Upgrading to iOS 8.0.2 did not resolve it either.
Erasing the iPhone and restoring from a backup did not resolve it.
I'm not sure what else to do.
