In mail, why does entire email address show up instead of just person's name

When I address most emails (to persons who are in my contacts), only their names show up in the "To:" window. But with certain people, their name plus their <full email address> all show up in the window.
I've tried re-entering their names in my contacts. I've tried deleting these names-with-full-email-addresses from the Previous Recipients list. No matter what I do, their name fills in as "First Name Last Name <full email address>" in the "To:" window. I also mail to other clients at the same company and their names just show up as names only -- normal.
Any idea why this is happening, and how I can make it stop?

It's fixed. Not sure why. Maybe one of the things I tried just needed time to take effect. Suddenly, it's working.

Why does my email address show up as my contact name to people in iMessage?

Everyone says I show up as an email address. Is anyone else havin this problem or know how to fix it?

I did a reset due to poor battery life and have been informed that my email address instead of phone number is showing up.,,,,,,,,am on iphone 4s.
I have tried the above fix and it did not work. Messages show receive at 2 Addresses one of which is phone number and the other is email address. The phone number is grayed out and the address is highlighted. It does not provide me with the option to change it from email to phone.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks. Right now I am very frustrated. Had no issues with phone until upgrade. Now battery does not last a full day and even with reset am now having battery issues plus this one.
Thanks

Why does my email address display when I send a txt message to another iPhone user?

When I txt MSG another iPhone user, my email address displays on their screen as sender's name. Is this because I have my email address set as my apple ID? Can I change my Apple ID name to stop this?

Go to Settings > Messages > Receive At > Apple ID.
Sign out of your Apple ID followed by signing back in with your cell phone number selected as your iMessage Caller ID.

Why does an email not show as read in Mail (Mail 5.2 on Lion 10.7.3) when i read it outside of Mail?

I use google apps at work thus have a gmail email address. I have the setting in iCloud set to sync mail but when i read an email on my iphone (or even when i log into gmail directly) it does not show as a read email in Mail. I would very much like to use Mail on my laptop, but having to read every email multiple times has stopped me from doing so. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
Do you use IMAP settings in Mail on your laptop or is it POP ? The first one is recommanded for what you want and it will sync between devices.
And check again your preferences in Gmail to see if everything is correct and if IMAP is activated.

Why does my email address always revert to .con

what does my .com address always revert to .con when I enter it on my iPad?

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

Why does "Date Created" sometimes show dashes instead of a date?

My finder shows four dashes ("----") for the "date created" on a large percentage of my files. When I look at the properties of those files, there are "Created" dates on them. Some of the files are .PDF, some are .doc (I haven't checked for .xls or .txt files). Why does this happen, and what can I do to fix it so the "date created" is in the finder window?
Thanks!

Perhaps that information isn't in the file. It may have been lost through various copy events on machines that did not recognize the information or where the information was lost during transfers to and from Windows or Linus servers.

Why does this email address not work

Hi
i have posted the question a couple of times in a different format, but have not received an answer....
Why wont the ipad email system allow the following format address:
[email protected]
It works in outlook, but not on the iPad.
I get the message invalid address or password.
I am hoping that someone knows how to make it work...
Cheers

I think the format is yourdomain.com.test-google-a.com. Your example is missing the .com part of your domain. So your example should look like [email protected] where mydomain = name.com

Why does my email address and text message alternate between mine and my husbands name?

Whenever I send an email or a text message, the name of the sender alternates between me and my husband - I'm so confused!

Hello,
Mail Preferences>Composing>Addressing:... is Send new Mail from set to a specific address or from Account of last viewed mailbox?
In Address Book do you have a combined entry for you & husband?

Why does the email button attach xml instead of pdf?

Sorry, it's probably a stupid question, but I can't figure it out! Thanks a million!

Hi Diana. You can use the Button object (not a Submit button) and modify it to submit the PDF version of your document.
After you've placed a button in your layout;
1) click on the Object tab
2) Select "Submit" as your Control Type
when you've done this, a "Submit" tab will appear
3) Click on the "Submit" tab
4) Change the "Submit Format" to "PDF"
5) Add the e-mail address in the "Submit to URL" field (as below);
mailto: [email protected]

Why does my email go to outbox instead of sending it?

You are not the only one with Gmail problems with Mavericks and I have looked at other peoples post and there does not seem to be one off fix.
Apple provided an update to Mavericks that partly fixed some problems with Gmail, this update was a few of weeks ago, did you install that update? This update was provided in December 2013, you can either check with the App store for any updates ot check the OS X version with the About Menu icon in the Apple logo, top left of the menu bar. The update is 10.9.1
This link from Apple will tell you more about it if it is not installed.

Other than that I use Gmail with Apple mail program and have not had any problems.
If the above is of no help, lets see if others have a better idea.

Why does DISABLED disable a SCREEN RECTANGLE instead of just the control?

I have solved this problem, but wanted to post it here for discussion.
LabVIEW 7.0, Windows.
I have a cluster: Item 0 is a custom enum control, item 1 is a string control.
Under certain conditions in my program, the string field must be disabled (and grayed out), because it's not applicable.
When I did that, I found that the enum was disabled as well. Actually, it would sometimes work if I hit the up-arrow just right, but the menu would never pop up. It worked find if the string was enabled.
The string field (item 1) had a label above the left side of it. The enum (item 0) was positioned immediately above the right side of it.
So why was item 0 disabled if item 1 was? I verified that the DISABLED property was NOT getting set to disabled (it reported 0 when I read it). There were no other property nodes to item 0.
As it turns out, it seems that when the string was disabled, there was a RECTANGLE on screen which was disabled. In spite of the fact that neither the string field not its label overlapped the enum, the fact that the enum was within the string's RECTANGLE was disabling it. The fact that the enum's up-arrow extended above this rectangle is what made it work if I hit it just right (the top 1 or two pixels, i guess). I found this out by moving the enum off to the right (out from under this rectangle.
My eventual solution was to go to the typedef for this cluster and move the enum IN FRONT of the string. I did not change the cluster order, just the physical front-to-back ordering. Now it works, with the enum back where I wanted it in the first place.
I have attached a VI which demonstrates this. I tested it on LV 7.1 / OSX and it still fails. Not sure if it's a bug, or intended behavior.

I would say this is most probably optimation. While you can of course escalate a user event message all the way down to any of the lowest controls only to see in most cases that the control did not care about this message for whatever reasons, this adds significant delay to the event handling. So having the top level control (cluster) do a quick and dirty rectangular check to see which control should receive the message if any and only passing it to that control speeds things up significantly.
Doing anything but a rectangular area check is again a performance problem as well as a never ending story of special cases which need to be handled just this tiny bit different to the rest, and any modification for a particular situation has often several undesired consequences for other cases.
