Some of my contact names are not appearing when they text message me. They are just showing up as their numbers. I have them saved in my phone so i am not really sure why their names aren't showing up when they message me?

I have this identical problem. For a while my group texts didnt show up on my ipad. Then one day they did, maybe everyone in the group started using the same os version or something. Ever since my first reply to the group there have been complaints of multiple threads. I can not find a pattern for when my group text's decide they want to create a new thread. (it doesnt happen every time) Everyone in the group has deleted the thread, we've all toggled imessage on/off etc. There still hasn't been a solution.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

HT201210 I just updated my iTunes and now I get a message that the application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. What happened and how do I fix this? I can't access any of my music now.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

Replacing the Applications Icon in the Dock, not just with an Applications alias--two different things

There is at least one answer to my question posted here, except it's not quite accurate. I too accidentally yanked my Applications folder from the Dock (which, by the way, is very easy to do, so in the way is the Dock. It's just very easy to drag it or any other icon in the dock out accidentally while working in a another programs, most particularly perhaps while working furiously back and forth across the screen in a grahics program. And hiding the Dock doesn't help because one is constantly bumping the sides of the screen with the mouse. In fact, choosing to hide the Dock might make matters worse because one forgets it's there. That's what happened--I accidentally grabbed it and pulled it out.
I thought to put back an alias out of Finder and it works okay, but not like before. The old Applications icon wasn't just an alias (and I don't recall there being a shortcut symbol attached to the old Applications Icon). Now when I click on it I don't get the balloon that used to pop up dislaying all of my program as large icons. Instead I just get a Finder-style list of my applications such that it's harder to locate the program I want to use.
What I really want back is the old Icon that worked as it used to work and that installs with the orginal installation of Snow Leopard. Does anyone know how to get that one back? Thanks,

FYI - All Dock icons are aliases, however they don't show the curly arrow.
To view your folder contents as you wish, right-click on the icon and choose the view options -
"display as" 'folder' will just show the folder, 'Stack' will show the first application in the folder (usually Adress Book).
View contenta as - list or grid - no fan option when the Dock's at the side (as it sounds like yours is).
EDIT
Incidentally, if you've dragged an alias to the Dock instead of the actual folder from Finder, you now have an alias pointing to another alias pointing to the Applications folder.
Bit unnecesary.

HELP! I have recently found that someone is selling audio featuring myself without authorising it with me. How would I go about getting the material taken down?

I have recently found that someone is selling audio featuring myself without authorising me. How would I go about getting the material taken down? Thanks

You probably need to contact Apple directly, and have a lawyer and be able to prove this is pirated audio.
Apple is not likely to take action without some sort of proof.

I have a 5th generation iPod touch that is suddenly "unable to connect to the server", not entirely sure what this means but I'm unable to connect to the internet even though I'm connected to Wifi. Can't connect to iTunes on my pc either. Any input?

I have a 16GB iPod touch that suddenly stopped connecting to the internet last night. Everytime I try to get mail, or access anything with Safari I get a message saying that it can't connect to the server. Also I've plugged it in to my home computer but it won't connect to iTunes either. I haven't updated to iOS8 yet as I didn't have enough space for it and I had planned on deleting all my music files, updating the software and putting whatever music I could fit back on to the device afterward, but now I'm hesitant to do that as I have no way to get any of the files back onto the device. Could this be because I haven't updated to iOS8 yet? I've been having other problems such as apps crashing unexpectedly lately as well, for example my music shuts off randomly and apps such as Twitter and Tumblr and a few others crash on launch. I'm definitely not a genius when it comes to technology by any means, so I have no idea what's causing this problem or how to fix it, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Hi we've lost the itunes icon from the applications folder. How do we get it back and where has it gone? I dragged it off the dock by accident and dragged it from the applications folder to the desktop then to the dock. But now we've lost it.

The iTunes app is no longer in the Applications folder?

I cannot see the i-cons on my phone. The screen is dark. The phone does not light up. Thank you.

Some people have said that restoring has helped. Others had to go to the Apple Store. What you can try to do is hold the home + sleep button until it reboots.

I have Mac OS10.4.11 with MS Office 2004 installed. Yesterday, when clicking on the Entourage icon, in the dock, to receive my Email, the icon disappeared and I lost my Email service from the HD and from Spotlight, as well. Word, Excel and PP are still OK

Just thinking, if things are really missing...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.

Help I have 'lost' my downloads icon from the dock. Can I retrieve it? If so please describe how, using simple terms

Help I have 'lost' my downloads icon from the dock on my desktop Mac. Can I retrieve it? If so please describe how, using simple terms. I have tried searching folders, finder and trash

Your Downloads folder should be in your Home folder. Just drag it to the Dock.
If you've managed to delete it, try creating a new folder called 'Downloads'. You will probably need to nominate it in Safari or any other browser preferences as your download destination. (Safari Preferences>General, 'Save downloaded items to:' menu)
