Thanks Eric, but that was already turned on. I just now tried turning it off and on again, no change. Actually, I"m more interested in seeing the names than the pictures. I now only see the phone numbers and generic avatars where pics would be.

i use windows and i got my hard disk replaced now when i try to sync wirelessly my ipod detects my computed as being a different one how can i make it forget the old one?
You will have to sync it to the new one, erasing the current content from the ipod and replacing it with the content from the new drive.
Make sure you have copied everything from your backup copy of your computer back to the new drive first. -

How do I sort my phone numbers inside a contact? (using custom labels)
Alright, since I've converted to iCloud, I'm now adding new contacts in there. However... before I was adding phone numbers through Address Book on my Macbook (that ended up creating a conflict with iCloud so I'm now using iCloud). What I want to know is... in address book you can set up a "default template" for your contacts (to include spouses, children, multiple addresses, phone numbers etc) I have created several labels for phone numbers, so I know which carrier they are since most of my contacts have 2-4 cell phones (all different carriers). Anyways, in address book I have for example ATT as the primary one on the list and then example: Verizon, Sprint, Tmobile & last the home phone). I have it set in that way, so even if someone only has ATT & Sprint, ATT will be at the top. Since I switched to iCloud (the carriers are all jumbled around in the contact and the reason I had placed them in a specific order is because I have one or two of those first carriers). Please let me know if you know how to change this in iCloud? Thanks!!!
Fair enough.
I started doing this before unlimited data and emails on phones was a common commodity, on my Samsung Blackjack.
I then continued it due to its convenience. My only counter argument is this:
Even when emails are set to immediately push, I am always notified earlier by this forwarding message (sometimes by several minutes/hours due to the fact that it is not dependent on my being connected to 4G or wifi to receive it.
Also, to contradict snozdop's point that both methods use data and battery, I say this - when I use the forwarding method, the information comes in a pure text format and therefore uses considerably less information than an HTML and CSS rich email, with embedded images and such -also, unlimited text messages aids curve costs.
I will, however, give this method a go. In any case, a solution to my original question would still be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys. -
Has anyone else experienced problems when using iMessages on a Mac?
For me it isn't syncing all the messages which are on my iPhone, so not all the messages appear on my mac on the iMessages programme. Any ideas on how to fix this very annoying problem?
Hi,
No.
iMessages sent to the Phone Number are not synced at this time
The Process tend to send via the ID that was called (i.e the iPhone Number) and these do not sync to the Mac and the Messages app there or to any other iOS device.

On my Mac desktop I must have changed a setting so that now when I move the mouse the open windows fly off to the sides and I can't see them. They come back when I move the mouse, but it is so annoying. How can I make the windows not disappear like that?
Click on the Hot Corners.. button and look at the four definitions. In the picture below, if you moved the cursor to the right top of the screen, it would slide all the applications off the screen as you describe and show the desktop. Set it to "-" to deactivate.

How can I make the bookmark separators dark? They are very light and I can hardly see them. I seem to remember that in older versions of FireFox they were much darker and easier to see.
On an older 1.5GHz PowerPC G4 mac, and on a
newer iMac 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
both running OSX10.5.8, and using the default FF 3.6.6 theme.
The separator lines are so faint as to be not there, giving the impression of just a big gap in the menu being displayed. -
I have two different 5s's with two different phone numbers but they are both using the same iCloud/apple account. After upgrading to iOS8 when I get a phone call on one phone both phones ring. One phone is for work and one is for private and I don't need both phones to ring from one call. It's bizarre.......is this supposed to be like this? If so where can I turn it off?? And while we are at it iOS8 has installed iBooks on both of my phones and iTunes won't let me uninstall it. I don't need or want iBooks on my phones.
Hi,
There are two easy fixes to this.
One, you can set up Family Sharing, in which you can have two different iCloud Accounts, yet still share the same apps, music, media etc.
Two, go to Settings and turn-off "Handoff". This can be found under the General page.
Hope this helps! -
How do I change the order of phone numbers in a contact?
When I enter phone numbers for a contact on the iPhone, they seem to be stuck in the order they were entered. Is there any way to change the order using the phone interface? I sync with Yahoo Address Book. Will the order be preserved if I change the order there?
Ditto! I am having the same problem. Anyone?

I have my phone numbers stored in contacts but when I go to type a message in messages I get all the contacts I have deleated plus my partners contacts to ?....
Deleted information or previously used information (your partners) does not get "shredded/destroyed" but placed in storage/cache in order to be overwritten when space is necessary for the device. Since size of those contacts files is very insignificant, that overwrite takes very long time. The only way to completely get rid of that info is to go through complete erase/restore of the phone. All other data will be lost and have to be restored back the way that will not bring cache back. Essentially - no restore from the backup.
