I can't see the name of the contacts in the Message screen how can I do that?

I can't see the contacts name on the message screen when I send or receive an i-message, all of my friend with iPhone can, why is that, how can I do to solve this problem?

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if the email text show when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I have the newest version of the iPad and can not see it under devices in my iTunes account on my PC.  I can however see my iPod touch under devices and sync it.  How can I get my iPad to show under devices and sync as well?

  • Hello, I have deleted my hotmail account and it deleted all the names with my contacts. Is there anyway this can be fixed?

    Hello, I have deleted my hotmail account and it deleted all the names with my contacts. Is there anyway this can be fixed?

    Yeah, add the Hotmail mail account back to the device.  It sounds like your missing contacts were synced to your Hotmail account.

  • It won't display the names of my contacts when they message me.

    Got a brand new iPhone in the mail, restored it from my old iPhone, and now it's not showing the names of my contacts when they message me even though I have their number in my contacts list. I have tried the add to contacts button but that dosent work either. Please help its a little irritating when someone texts me and I have to ask who it is.

    If you do not see this at the top of the display I would try a reset.
    Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. It is safe to do, there should be no content loss. It is the same as rebooting your computer.

  • 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?

  • TS3988 Hi both myself and my wife are on the same account so we receive each others contacts and I messages. How can I get my wife a separate I'D but keep her on the account so she can still purchase items on the account thanks Gary Eveling

    Hi. Both myself and my wife are on the same account meaning same credit card. The problem with this is we both receive each others contacts and see each others I messages.
    How can my wife have a different name so we are separate on such things as contacts and I message but she can still purchase items on the account.
    Many thanks
    Gary Eveling

    You entered your wife's seperate AppleID? Check you can login with the same AppleID here: http://appleid.apple.com/ on a computer.
    Some of the photos in that link apply to setting up iCloud on a device from new, not when setting it up later. It won't look the same (the dark gray background) for you as you're setting it up now.

  • I have downloaded os lion but can't see it on both accounts on my new Imac.  How can I get this to operate on both the administrator and guest desktops?

    After downloading lion in the guest area on my imac, how do I enable it to have an affect on the other accounts?

    You can only install software from the admin account, so you will need to transfer the Lion installer application to your admin account or re-download it when logged into the admin account.

  • When I send a text message, the iPhone 4s sends it via email rather than to the mobile phone number I wish to message.  How do I change that default?

    My wife (who has a Droid) asked me to text a photo to her.  I went to Message on my 4s, selected my wife as the target for the text, selected the photo, and sent the text.  Rather than appearing on her mobile phone, the text went to her email.  When I selected my wife as the person I wanted to text, I was not given any choice of the target phone number or email address...it just defaulted to her email and did not tell me that is what it was doing!  I did find a solution, but it's more complicated.  I have to go to Contacts, select my wife, and then I'm given a choice of how I want to send the Message.  Why doesn't the iPhone do this in Messages in the first place?

    I am not sure what you mean.
    Do you mean the From field?
    You can change it by tapping it, it will give you options based on the other email accounts set up.
    You can set a default account here:
    Sttings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > scroll down to the Mail section & you will see Default Account. You can change that to your gmail account.

  • HT2513 How do you change the name of a reminder in the reminder list.  I right click and then choose "get information"  I can change the colour of the reminder but when I type in the name that I want and then press enter the name stays as "untitled".

    Jerry,
    Thanks for replying again. I've got a little bit further thanks to you. I tried the US keyboard layout as you seemed pretty definte that it should work. This time I applied the setting and also started the language toolbar and selected it from there.
    Hey presto, I've got the @ where it should be. Excellent.
    However the single quote ' works in a weird way. When I press it, it doesn't show up on the screen. But when I press another key, I get the single quote plus the next key I press. When I press the single quote twice, I get 2 of them. This is also the same with the SHIFT ' key. i.e. for the double quotes.
    Very strange. I'll look at other keyboards and see where that gets me.
    Thanks,  Maz

  • How can I edit or change the name of a bookmark in the bookmark library window?

    How can I edit or change the name of a bookmark in the bookmark library window? I can figure out just about everything else I can do in the window, but can't seem to edit a bookmark.
    thank you

    In the Bookmarks Manager you can change the properties of a bookmark in the Details pane at the bottom right.<br />
    That Info pane has a More/Less button to show or hide extra properties.
    * You can change the Properties (including the name) of a Bookmark or Tag in the Details (Properties) pane at the bottom of the right pane in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks: Shift+Ctrl+B) after selecting an item. You can rename a tag by selecting the Tags folder in the left panel and change the name in the Info pane at the bottom right.
    * You can make changes to a Bookmark in the Bookmarks menu drop down list or in the side bar (View > Sidebar > Bookmarks, Ctrl+B) via the Properties entry in the right-click context menu.
    * You can open a bookmark in a tab and click the yellow (blue on Mac) star in the location bar to open the "Edit This Bookmark" dialog and see in which folder a bookmark is located.

  • I've updated to the most recent version of iTunes and I can no longer see any of my old music on my mac.  All the music is still available on my ipad.  How can i download the music on my mac?

    I've updated to the most recent version of iTunes and I can no longer see any of my old music on my mac.  All the music is still available on my ipad.  How can i download the music on my mac?

    First, are you positive it is really not there?  Have you looked in your iTunes folder in your Music folder, and in the media folders there? Do you see your media files?
    If your media are gone it is a lot easier to restore from a proper computer backup.  Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • How can I see my reminders in my Mac in the same way I see them in my iPad and iPhone

    How can I see my reminders in my Mac in the same way I see them in my iPad and iPhone, I is easier to work with reminders in Ipad and Iphone rather to see them like a list on ICal

    The calendar seems to be the only way to see reminders right now. I'm aware of no 3rd party program that deals with just reminders...but I'd like to find one.

  • I did the update today and now itunes can't see my ipod, uninstalled iTunes and all the recommended things, nothing has worked

    I did the update today and now itunes can't see my ipod, uninstalled iTunes and all the recommended things, nothing has worked.
    It worked just fine last weekend. I have windows 8.1 and a brand new pc, new iPod also, the new Nano. now after the update today, iTunes says iPod has been detected but could not be indentified properly. I can see it in windows. I tried the reset on the iPod also. what else can I do?? HELP

    uninstalled iTunes and all the recommended things
    Doublechecking. Have you tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

  • What can I do about an HTC One camera having a problem with a frozen display? I can take pictures but I can't see what I'm shooting until after the picture is taken.

    I can take pictures but I can't see what I'm shooting until after the picture is taken.  I've already had to do one hard reset which deletes all my data.  Is there any other solution?  Is it a glitch that would be resolved by getting a different phone?

        Thanks for the additional information AliciaG.! Let's test your camera in Safe Mode, follow the steps at this link http://vz.to/1mjT7T2 to restart your phone in Safe Mode. Keep us posted.
