I am having issues with contacts being linked that shouldn't be.  I don't think this is the issue of Facebook linking contacts as I have turned that off in settings by not allowing Facebook access to my contact list.

For some reason my son and my grand daughter's information has been linked.  Now when I get text messages from my grand daughter the texts have my son's name on them and sometimes it's hard to tell who I'm talking to.  I have tried sending messages directly to my grand daughter (as opposed to responding to her text) but she never gets them - UNLESS I send to my son's name.  It's just too confusing.  Now that I have an iPad all my email accounts (work, home, iCloud) have been linked and when I try to message myself at work (as a reminder) all the messages are going to the iCloud account and never show up in my work email.  This is very irritating and I can't figure out how to fix it.

First make sure Settings > Facebook > Contacts is turned off. Tis might be different from what you described in your question.
Then open your Contacts app and check carefully what is there for your son and grand daughter's contact info. Correct if necessary.

    I've only encountered two instances where the PUT operation failed on certain files. One, the server does not like the particular file type, and two, when the file was open in another program.
    Other than that, I could only guess that it may have something else to do with the web server configuration and not DW.

  • I am receiving a message saying that my security settings will not allow download of apps except from app store or certain vendors. How can I turn this off?

    Can anyone tell me how to turn off the setting that will not allow me to open any app other than one from apple or "selected" others. Unable to open Quickeys and install after download. Thanx   Sam

    Open the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, unlock it, and allow applications from anywhere. Alternatively, launch each application by control-clicking it and choosing Open.

  • HT1926 it states that my security settings will not allow me to download itunes

    I am unable to download itunes to my computer

    Try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • HT201303 This is the same computer. It crashed. I have $15.00 balance left in account. Can't access it.

    My computer crashed, I had to re-install operating system.  I had about $15.00 balance in itunes account. Now I cannot access that balance.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Yes, that's what you need to do.

  • Why does it keep telling me that my security settings will not let the Adobe Reader download when I have them turned off?

    I try to update the Adobe Reader and it will not let me.  I have turned the Norton Security off and it still tells me that my security settings will not allow it to download.  What can I do?

    There's a little box that comes up on my computer after I try to update the Adobe Reader.  It says:  "Your current security settings will not allow this to download".  So I went into my Norton Security and disabled the antivirus program.  I don't even know if that was the "settings" that the message on my computer was meaning.  But what has happened is when I try to use the Adobe Reader XI that is on my computer, a little box comes up on my screen that says "Your current security settings do not allow this file to be downloaded" and I'm unable to get Adobe to work.

  • Im having problems with contacts on my iPad. One of my contacts names shows up when I choose any one of 36 contacts. the email goes to the correct email address that I've chosen but the incorrect name shows up in the To: area of the email

    I'm having problems with contacts on my iPad. One of my contacts names shows up when I choose any one of 36 contacts. the email goes to the correct email address that I've chosen but the incorrect name shows up in the To: area of the email. Has anyone else experienced this...if so I hope there is a fix

    Hello there erika274,
    It sounds like no matter what contact you put into the 'To' field, a different name appears, but the email makes it to the intended recipient. I would recommend a few things here. First, close all the open apps on the device:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the phone:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • I am having trouble with iMessage being activated. It has worked up until yesterday and now won't activate and is saying no address in the send and receive section. My number is there but not ticked. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    iMessage and FaceTime went down yesterday for some people. Mine is still down. My iMessage is saying the same thing about being activated. Sounds like you are still down too. Ignore the status page that says everything is fine - it lies.

  • HT204150 Following problem: I have around 600 contacts on my iphone and Ipad and would like to sync with contact list on my mac book air but its not working and whatever I do I get stuck on the 44 contacts I have on my mac  contact-list. Please Help!!!! 

    ollowing problem: I have around 600 contacts on my iphone and Ipad and would like to sync with contact list on my mac book air but its not working and whatever I do I get stuck on the 44 contacts I have on my mac  contact-list. Please Help!!!!  thanks

    First, be sure that the contacts on the devices are in the "icloud" section and not the "On my iPhone" (or iPad) section of the contact listings/groups.
    Missing contacts:
    Here's a test to perform - using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and go to the Contacts page.  If most of them are gone, then they are gone. 
    If they show up, then the problem is that your device is not connecting to the Contacts database on icloud. 
    On the device, go to Settings>icloud.  Be sure icloud is on and using the right ID.  If not, scroll to the bottom of the page and tap Delete Account - this just disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost.  Then log back in using the correct ID.  ALSO - be sure the Contacts are turned on (on the same screen).
    Note:  Contacts are not part of an iCloud backup, since they are part of contacts database on iCloud's servers.   So performing a restore will not help.
    Contacts are gone from icloud.com.
    Then they have been deleted.  There are many reasons for this.  One possibility is that someone else is using the same iCloud account (family member, etc.) and they deleted contacts, thinking they did want them on THEIR device.  How to get them back?  Unfortunately, an iCloud backup does not include any of the sync databases, like contacts, notes, calendars, reminders, etc. because the data is already stored in these databases.  Your only hope for restoring the data is if you had that data on a computer (like a mac's Contacts, Calendars, etc.) and that data was backed up using whatever backup software you typically use (e.g. Time Machine on a mac).  Just restore the data files back to the computer.  Other than that, I'm afraid the data is gone.

  • Client with IP address is not allowed to access the server

    While trying to connect to the SQL Database on Windows Azure via SQL Server Data Tools 2012 (from local), it gives me a message "Client with IP address 'X.X.X.X' is not allowed to access the server". And in the message it also gives you the direction
    on how to fix this.
    So, going back to the Windows Azure Management Portal, I have included the current IP address in to the existing firewall rule. I tried to connect to the sql database on azure via SSDT it worked properly.
    Next day.. when I open the tool and trying to connect, it gave the same error, so I checked in the portal and this time it was showing different IP, then I added this IP to the firewall list, and I was able to connect.
    Question:  Is this a normal behaviour for adding IP each day to the firewall rule? (OR, I am using the "Free Trial" subscription, is this the issue?), or is there anything more I need to do to avoid adding the IP each day?
    Please let me know.
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    To workaround your requirement, you can try to use the New- SqlAzureFirewallRule command line in PowerShell to configure the firewall rule  allow your current IP automatically.

  • Just bought a brand new Airport Extreme and having trouble with it being recognized. I have a Mac version 10.5.8. Is my computer compatible?  I have the Airport Express now and it works fine.

    Just bought a brand new airport extreme and having trouble with it being recognized.  My mac is version 10.5.8.  What should I do?

    The new AirPort Extreme needs the 6.x version of AirPort Utility, which comes packed in with Lion 10.7.5 or Mountain Lion 10.8.x......or......you can also configure the device using an iPhone or iPad running a recent iOS.
    From Apple's Specifications:
    Setup and Administration
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3
    A few options.....
    Borrow another Mac running Lion or Mountain Lion for 10-15 minutes and set it up. The Mac running 10.5.8 will be able to connect to the wireless....but it will not be able to make any changes to the configuration of the Extreme.
    Update to Lion or Mountain Lion.....but check first to make sure that your Mac will support the operating system first.
    Use....or borrow an iPhone or iPad to set up the Extreme
