I need help!! My iPhone 4s lost contacts in messages after restore! How can I fix this?

Earlier today I turned my phone off and back on...then I noticed that my contacts in my messages were not showing up, only the numbers. I tried to do a backup restore-- didn't work. I tried adding a +1 in front of all my contacts, that didn't work either. My contacts are still there, they are just not syncing with my messages. How can I fix this?

    Take it back where you got and and get your money back.
    As has been pointed out, if there was a "previous owner", the phone is not "new". Thephone you purchased is most likely stolen. If whoever you bought it from won't give you your money back, turn it over to the police.

  • HT3529 iPhone 4s, picture and video messages not sending, how can I fix this?

    Is there anything I can check in my settings to fix this? Or is this a carrier issue and should I contact my provider?

    Is MMS turned on in settings? Settings>Messages>SMS/MMS>MMS Messaging>On. Can you send/receive SMS's? If you answer both questions with a yes, the problem rests with your carrier. Either MMS is not provisioned on your account, or not provisioned properly. So, contact your carrier.

  • I got my iPad from my friend and he done a full restore before I got it, but know that I have put my iCloud account on here I have contacts and his too. How can I fix this problem? !!!!!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Given what you've have described, your friend cannot have restored the iPad correctly. You need to decide whether you are willing to delete his contacts manually, or carry out another restore. Personally I think I would go for the restore.

    As I said in the other thread that you posted in the other forum, your friend clearly has not restored the iPad correctly. I suggest that you undertake another restore and start again.

  • I have done the update to Firefox 7 yet when I open Firefox it tells me I need to update to the newest version which I just did, how can I fix this?

    I keep my Firefox up-to-date at all times but the last few weeks Gmail has been telling me that I am using an older version which it no longer supports even though I have the updated version. I was notified that Firefox could be updated to the newest version, which I did. After the update when I opened Firefox it told me that I needed to update to the newest version which I had already done. How can I fix this?

    Glad to hear it

  • HT201210 my Iphone is completely down; error code 2001. How can I fix this?

    My Iphone 5 is completely down; error code 2001. How can I fix this. I updated the last version of ITunes. Before then phone went black the battery run empty very fast. I had a long flight and switched the phone completely off with 30% battery remaining to make sure that I had battery after I landed. However I couldn't get it working anymore. When I push the home and the "off" button at the same time I see a Itunes logo and a USD connection with an arrow.
    Thanks,

    RECEIVING MESSAGES INTENDED FOR OTHER DEVICES
    This occurs if you are sharing the same Apple ID for imessages.
    If you are receiving imessages intended for other devices you can fix this by going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and do one of the following:
    Uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on both devices if they are iPhones; or
    On one of the devices go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the Apple ID, sign out, then sign in with a different Apple ID.  Note: you can continue to share an Apple ID for the iTunes & App store for purchasing if you wish; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud and other services.
    To prevent merging of your calendars and contacts when syncing calendars and contacts if you are using the same Apple ID for the iCloud account, be sure to set up separate iCloud accounts on each phone with separated IDs.  Remember that if you change your ID in iTunes & App store, that apps and other purchased content is  forever linked to the ID that was used to download the apps and the apps  can only be updated with the ID that was originally used to download them.  To download content purchased previously downloaded with a particular ID then that ID needs to be used to download past purchases.  If you want all apps to be connected with the same ID you need to delete those apps downloaded with the old ID and download them again with your current and if the apps in question were paid apps then you need to pay again.

  • My iphone 4 will not turn off... how can I fix this?

    I went to turn off my iphone 4 and it will not turn off... it is just stuck on the circle thing it does when shutting down????  What's wrong with it?

    Try holding down both the top and home buttons a the same time until it restarts- that probably would do it.

  • HT1222 I cannot turn on my WIFI on my iphone ever since i updated my ios. How can i fix this?

    The sad part is: the Mac Center in our country cannot do anything about the issue unless the phone is locked to the two major networks here. They only suggested to call apple's hotline or wait for the latest ios update. Unbelievable.

    I have heard rumors that if you are trying to connect to a secured wifi network, and the PSK (pre-Shared Key) is too short, that the iPhone may not let you access your wifi.  Some people have resolved this by setting a longer key on their wifi security settings on their routers.  I have not had this issue, so I can't guarantee that will work, but it might be worth a try...

  • My apple tv has lost connection with Itunes store.  How can I fix this?

    My Apple TV was working just fine, but now I cannot log into the Itunes store.  I am using the correct login name and password.  I can't access my music from Itunes Match.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router.
