Imessages under apple inc not contact name

I have iphone 5 on os7 and friend has iphone 6. When we send imessages they show up on my phone from apple inc. instead of her name. Why is this?  The same messages on my phone show up under my friends name on my ipad which is also on ios7. how do I fix iMessages?

this issue corrected itself 2 days later, the power of prayer!

  • HT3529 After trying every suggestion on apple support and then finally calling them and being hung up on by a very rude apple operator, Issue is that when sending iMessage my info comes up as apple if email not contact name...I've tried everything online

    When sending iMessage from my iPhone 4s it now appears as my apple id not my contact name...I have read and tried every online help tip I could find...I called apple support only to have very very rude apple operator hang up on me while saying is ridiculous to pay to speak to someone to tell me how to solve problem....I am so frustrated please help..when going into caller id my phone number appears but is grayed and only my email is shown....I'm not given option to have my number...in face time settings above my grayed out number says error but no option to change...I've verified my email I've done everything I've read to do please help...and fire your rude operator...thanks

    Under Settings > Messages > Receive At, I see my phone number grayed out. This is because the phone number cannot be removed. However, one screen beyond that (tap on Caller ID), then it is not grayed out and I can toggle the email or phone number. Are you sure you are on the Caller ID screen and not the Receive At screen?

  • Phone number, not contact name, appears for new iMessage notification

    I am currently in Israel and using an Israeli SIM card with my iPhone 5C. I have unlimited data so I was told I was able to use iMessage. I am having an issue when talking to just one person. When I receive the banner or lock screen notification that I have a new message from him it just displays the phone number (area code and seven digits, no 1 or +1 or anything). Then when I swipe or tap to view the message it automatically brings me to a new message screen "To" his phone number (also the phone number is showing up green even though it is an iPhone). When I cancel the new message and am then in my Message app and viewing all my conversations, the new message is there under his contact name that is saved in my phone... And messages are blue etc. in our conversation. His number is saved with a +1 in my contacts as I am abroad and the contact name was appearing in my Messages. When I removed the +1 from his contact the phone is not recognizing him in my messages and just shows up as the number. This is very very frustrating. Please help! Thank you.

  • Contact # showing up in iMessage, but not contact name

    Husband has iPhone 4, I have 4S - when I send him a text/imessage, it shows up as his contact #, not his name. Can't figure out how to have it show contact name. I've restarted, turned off iMessage, turned off WiFi. Any suggestions? My carrier is Verizon and after the most recent update, it started doing this.
    Thanks!

    I don't have access to a 6.0 system at the minute, but I'm pretty sure order isn't a standard field in KSB1.  It would be in KOB1, of course, but the K*B1 transactions are for displaying actual line items recorded on various kinds of cost objects.
    In the reporting scenario, how's the order factor in?  Did it receive statistical postings, or something?

  • Messages display phone numbers not contact name

    After I updated my iPhone 4s last night my messages come in displaying the phone number not the contact name. I checked the number in the contact and they are the same. The number 1 is not in the contact or in the message display. I have readded a contact and it will work after that. I don't really want to redo my complete contact list. Anyone have any idea's?

    I figured it out.

  • Acer Liquid Z220 text messages say carrier name not contact name.

    When I receive a text message it says the contact name, but when the conversation continue it says the carrier name of my phone on the message for both my name and the person I am texting.

    Hi dmbcanada. Have you encountered problem with sending sms with your z220? Because I cannot send sms but i can receive. I reset myphone everytime this happens.

  • My i phone 4 when recieving texts from i phone 4s contacts only shows their phone number not contact name.. why?

    this only happens in text messaging... i've tried re entering phone numbers etc but doesn't seem to make a difference...  even if i look up a name in contacts (their name in contacts is still as it was)  if i click the name and click send message or if they send me a text, all that shows up is their phone number.  anyone else seeing this problem? 

    This is strange, but a lot of strange things can happen with the phone when data or code get corrupted. Did you look at your contacts to see if they aren't corrupted or duplicated?
    I suggest trying the usual troubleshooting steps as needed to clear the problem:
    1. Reset phone - press home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears.
    2. Restore phone in iTunes using a backup.
    3. Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    4. Restore as a new iPhone.

  • My text messages show number not contact name

    Does anyone have any hints on how to fix?

    Is the person texting you in your Cntacts list? If not you'll only see the number.
    If they are in your Contacts, check their contact to make sure the number they are texting you from is listed in their contact.

  • Switch iMessage display from nickname to contact name?

    Just made the switch to iOS 7 and it now shows all of my nicknames for people instead of their first and last name.  How do I change this?

    I have my iPhone using nicknames and they all work except my husband's.  For some reason, it displays his first and last name when all of my other contacts use nicknames.  I feel like I have tried everything possible...deleting his contact and re-entering it, changed names on his contact multiple times, etc.  Just doesn't make any sense.  OH, and by the way, his nickname works on my iPad...go figure.  Help please (cause it just flat out bugs the crap out of me!)...thanks!

  • Quotation marks under some contact names

    So I have this issue that's been bugging me for a while. Under some of my contact names there are quotations (ie ""). I know where they are coming from, they are from the field "Nick Name." The problem is that I do not have any nick names for any of my contacts. Whenever I go to edit a contact on my iphone, the "Nick Name" field is always there, but it is blank (and there is no way for me to get rid of it). Unlike other fields such as "Prefix" or "Suffix", if I add them, but then do not fill in that field with anything when I edit the name, the field automatically goes away. I have checked Address Book and none of my contacts have a "Nick Name" field. The same is true for my MobileMe Account. This is really annoying!!! It seems as though my iPhone is randomly deciding to add the field "Nick Name" to some of my contacts, and does not give me the option the delete that field. Does anyone else have this issue and know what to do?
    Also, I have checked and there is no space or anything in that field (it is completely blank) and I have tried replacing all my contacts on my iPhone and even restored my iPhone to factory settings and then synced everything back. (No Workie)

    Hi,
    I have not worked out why but if the Contacts apps on both devices are not Synced then what you describe happens.
    It seems worse if the Mac (System Preferences > iCloud > Contacts option) has been on in the past and then turned Off.
    This seems to "lose" whatever was the Address Book/Contacts info before hand (even if it started on the Mac and was used to populate the iPhone's version).
    Whilst iCloud is the listed choice here it also works with other method  (System Preferences > Internet Accounts such as Facebook or Google)
    To check open the Contacts app and go to Preferences > Accounts and see what it list for Syncing.
    it can get confused if two are listed.

    it's important to use 10-digit or fullly compliant international numbers for all contacts to keep things working smootly.
    on the other hand, if when you have the contact properly filled out and the recent calls or sms list show just the number it's likely a corrupted addressbook.
    I had this problem since i restored my iPhone 4 onto my iPhone 4s. turned out to be a corrupted address book database on the phone.
    deleting the database @ /Users/Library/AddressBook (all files starting with AddressBook) (while Addressbook NOT running and when iCloud sync and iTunes sync both off) and re-run address book to create empty database before re enable sync solved it!
