Im getting texts from some of my contacts that no longer show their name but come across with  1 followed by the phone number.

after updating my iphone 5 c to the latest iOS version, i am getting texts from some (not all) of my contacts that no longer display the name but only +1 followed buy the phone number. Is there something that needs to be adjusted in the settings to fix ths problem?

Open your contact list and swipe down from the top. You can filter your contact list by account. Anything not in any of the listed contact types is a local contact. It would help if we could narrow down where the contacts were stored previously vs. where they are stored now.

  • Not receiving texts from some contacts

    I have the Verizon Juke phone, and have been using the model for years. Recently, I had an issue on a previous Juke device where I was no longer receiving texts from particular contacts, while others were coming through. Everyone was able to receive my texts, however. The problem always happened between me and two or three others at the same time, so it had nothing to do with their personal phone settings. The texts from them to me would get backlogged without being delivered, then arrive en masse a week or two later all at once, and it was always random, without me fiddling around with phone settings or anything of the sort.
    I assumed that it was an issue with that Juke, so I bought a new one and activated it, but it did not fix the problem. I had to call Verizon support, and after about an hour of troubleshooting, they informed me that the only solution was to remove the texting feature from my phone, then reinstate it, ultimately losing every text that was stuck in backlog. Although I lost those texts, my phone regained its functionality. The solution worked for about a month, but recently it has returned, and I would like to have a permanent fix, so that I may always receive texts from all of my contacts. As I mentioned, it is a system issue, and it has nothing to do with others' iPhone settings or anything of the sort. Thanks!

        Hello Kalysm,
    I am so sorry you are experiencing these issues with your phone. I know it's upsetting to not get your message, especially when you've put effort into troubleshooting, and the issue continues. Just to make sure, do you have the area code programmed into your contacts for each of the people you've had issues with? The number should have the area code, but not have a 1 in front of it.
    If you've already confirmed the number is listed correctly, and the problem is persisting, our Technical Support team can file a network ticket to get this issue resolved once and for all. They can be reached at 800-922-0204.
    Thank you,

  • Please Help: Automator to get text from Safari Reader into Text file

    Hello All,
    I was hoping that someone will be able to help me.
    I would like for automator to obtain article text from a website without me having to manually cut and paste it.
    I tried to put together a workflow to get text from webpage, but it unfortunatley get some information that I don't want for eg. Menu Bar Titles and additional links etc. What would be ideal is if I could only extract the data that shows when I use the Safari Reader function.  I have tried a jave Readability Script, but this also extract the same information. Is there anyway someone could please kindly help me out with a nice Applescript or something?
    If there is no way to do this, there could be another solution around this... if there was a way I could use automator to delete the first and last 10 lines of the text document.
    Again, any help will be much appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    VicandMeliJvR

    Hi David,
    Thank you for your feedback. I would be happy to use a screen capture program, but Quicktime X seems to only allow me to record audio and record the video separately. I will do this as a last resort, but it's a big pain to try to line up the video audio.
    Thank you! I will definitely do this if nothing else works.

  • As I bought my iPhone 5 16GB,White in the USA from Sprint, full price with tax,unlocked ,it was excepted to be a global phone. But now I come across with some problems in Chinausing local carrier, everything is working properly except sending text message

    Dear AppleCare，
    As I bought my iPhone 5 16GB,White in the USA from Sprint, full price with tax,unlocked ,it was excepted to be a global phone. But now I come across with some problems in Chinausing local carrier, everything is working properly except sending text message, and iMessage and Facetime also seem not to work.This is very serious for Apple and me! Will I have the chance to fix this?
    I tried all the possible solutions from the Internet, and the Official solution offered by Apple (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4459), but it doesn't seem to work.
    Will Apple help me with this issue? Please do.
    Information of my iPhone:
    SN:F1*******8GJ
    IMEI: ****
    MEID: ****
    ICCID: ****
    My Apple ID account：****
    <Personal Information Edited By Host>

    I had the same problem.  Kept getting message of waiting for activation or check network connections.  I also tried every solution out there and nothing worked.  This did though:  I download the newest version of itunes (through Internet Explorer - Google Chrome wouldn't work).  It pulled in my entire library thank goodness and then I plugged my iphone 4s into the computer.  I let itunes find it, did a complete backup in icloud, then did a restore.  Entire process took a couple of hours, but I now have imessage and facetime back.  I was about ready to give up on Apple and go get a different phone ~

  • Switched to android and can't get texts from apple users, Switched to android and can't get texts from apple users

    switched to galaxy 3 and cant' get texts from people that used to imessage me.  I have tried everything but swtiching my phone number.

    If you no longer have access to your iPhone, you will need to contact Apple for help deactivating your phone number from their iMessage system so those with iPhones will send normal text messages to your phone number instead of iMessages.
    Reference: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5185
    iOS: Deactivating iMessage
    Symptoms
    If you experience any of these symptoms, you may want to deactivate iMessage:
    You can't receive SMS on your non-Apple device when another person sends them using an iPhone.
    You can't send SMS to a non-Apple device because they send as an iMessage.
    Resolution
    If you experienced the symptoms above, your cellular phone number may still be registered with iMessage. When you turn iMessage on with your iPhone, iMessage registers your cellular telephone number.
    To deregister your phone number, tap Settings > Messages and turn iMessage off.
    If you can't deactivate iMessage after you perform the steps above or you can't access the iPhone, please contact Apple Support.

  • I unregistered my iphone but still am having issues getting texts from iphone users. Anyone know how to fix this?

    I unregistered my iphone but still am having issues getting texts from iphone users. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Turn off iMessage on the old iPhone.
    Restore the iPhone as new.
    Have the other iPhone users delete the current message thread, and start a new messae to you.
    Have the other iPhone users delete your contact, then re-add it.
    Go to ww.icloud.com and remove the device from your Find My iPhone.
    Go to appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and/or password.
    Contact Apple Support at getsupport.apple.com for further assistance if these steps don't work.
    Wait about 30 days for the iMessage server to self-correct the issue.

    Hi
    I've a big problem with adobe acrobat reader XI pro and I hope you can help me.
    The problem is; when I past copied text from some pdf books (not all of them) it past symbols only! wherever I past it! and even if I coped that text from another pdf reader (adobe pdf reader, internet browsers, ...etc.).
    This problem started to happen since yesterday when I installed adobe acrobat reader XI pro to try it before I buy it, and before that when I was using the free adobe pdf reader I was totally able to copy any text from any pdf and past it anywhere with nothing wrong.
    What can I do?
    thank you a lot.

    There is no product called Adobe Acrobat Reader Pro. There is
    - Adobe Acrobat Pro ($$)
    - Adobe Reader (free)
    Which do you have? And are you a programmer?

    I have the new iOS 7 and am getting texts from another family members phone and they are getting mine how do I disable this without changing accounts

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You could simply set each device to only use a single telephone number (settings > messages > send & receive, but this isn't really an ideal solution since the other person can always change their settings and see your messages and send messages that appear as if they are from you. There is only one real solution and that's to have your own accounts.

    You each need to have separate Apple IDs and separate user accounts. Better yet, separate computers as well.
