In my "recent" calls, the contact's name no longer appears, just their number....how did happen and how to correct?

Any idea why my recent calls would transition from the contact name to just showing the number?

The contact in which the photo does appear (along with the contact's name as well) is one that I added myself. I have photos added for many of the people in my Contact List, but neither their photo nor their name appears to me whenever they call or text me.
I know how to add a photo to a contact's information within my Contact List. I need to know how I can make that photo (or even the contact's name) appear whenever I have an incoming call/text from them. What I am seeing is just their phone number, and I do not know everyone's phone number well enough to recognize from whom I am getting a call/text. It would be much easy if their photo or name appeared instead.

Reinstalled Itunes and how have 4 to 8 copies of all music (7,500). This has happened before, called apple, sorry you will need to delete each. question why does it happen and can it corrected without one song at a time

reinstalled itunes and have 4 to 8 copies of each song. This is the third time has happened over last 3 years. Called Apple, they state must delete extra songs manually, is there a quicker way and why does this happen. I have Iphone, can I delete all music and copy from phone?

Man I hear your pain, same happened to me. I never worked out a way of deleting all the duplicates and I'm guessing it occured as you imported your library more than once.
However it is possible to delete everything and copy from an ipod using different utilities out there on the net, try googling ipodutil as an expample, although I don't know if this works from an iphone but it worked for me copying everything back from an ipod into itunes.

Are the contact details in your contacts app, the phone app uses the contact app to put names against telephone numbers.

Is it possible to call the contact number indicated in the cell?

Hello! Tell me please, I want to move a lot of contacts in the electronic form and organize a list of contacts in Numbers. Is it convenient to use it on the iphone? Is it possible to call the contact number indicated in the cell? That is an example: name, contact, etc. A few columns. I click on the number of human cell, and then what would happen if a set of user (as it happens in the notes for example)?

How do I get a contact's name/photo to appear when they call/text (rather than their number)?

I have one contact with whom I communicate regularly and their photo image appears whenever they call or text me. I don't know what I did to make that happen, and I cannot get it to happen for the other people in my Contact List. Can anyone tell me how I can get a name or photo to appear whenever someone from my Contact List either calls or texts me? I cannot recognize everyone in my CL by simply their phone number! TYSM!

Save a recent call to contacts

How do I save a recent call to contacts?

Tap the blue chevron next to the call, then tap "Create New Contact".

HT201412 what do you do when your phone numbers no longer have the contact persons name just a number. Also names are missing from the address book where contacts are.

I, too, love everything about my phone. The other day I tried to crash my Z10 by running multiple apps and having videos running in the background. Do you think my Z10 showed any signs of slowing down? Nothing doing! It ran as smooth as silk. I'm very impressed.
Cheers.

Within Contacts, tap Groups at top left. Make sure all contact groups are checked to show, then tap "Done" at top right.

Because Apple designed the iOS for it to be all or nothing. You can tell Apple you'd like to see a change here:

My visual voice mail is not working..i have done all the steps that I have seen on here to do. When I call the voice mail it says that there is not a box set up and I need to contact my system administrator.

I have had voice mail set up on my phone for 10 years. When I did the last iOS update before 7 I guess it wiped out my voice mail. Can I not set it up myself? I haven't changed my message in years.

Hello,
I never drag the group list to mail.
I just type it's name and Mail brings it automatically.
I really don't see the point of starting do what you suggested as it complicate the work flow (using 2 applications to achieve a missing feature...)
I think the point is to simplify things and not complication them.
I need Mail to be flexible, so I can add as many groups or one by one contacts without having the need to use another application and drag from there.
How come no one has thought about that?
very strange and frustrating to know it's not existed in mail.
but thanks anyhow
by the way,
when such a feature missing, does it goes to apple features requests?

How do i change my sender name that is appearing in my email that's incoming? it's correct on my iPhone email and my internet carriers email access site, but not on my imac email. for instance, when someone else gets my email...it says its from "mike Hoak". I need it to be me (Karen), not one of my random contacts. not sure how it even happened.

Hi karen elizabeth I,
I understand that you want to change the full name associated with your email account in Mail on OS X. Here is an article that will help you find this setting and adjust it:
Mail settings you might need from your email provider - Apple Support

This setting can be found by going to your Mail Preferences, then the Accounts tab, then selecting your account. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

The contacts bar is visible when I open FaceTime. How do I remove it. There is no close option for it.

The contacts bar is visible when I open FaceTime. How do I remove it. There is not an option to close it.

Is it there when answering and during a FaceTime call?
Is it there after selecting a contact to initiate a FaceTime call and during the call?
You can't remove it when launching FaceTime to initiate a FaceTime call.

Framemaker uses $filename for short file name, can we edit this to change appearance? We do not want the short file name of long filename to include the .fm extension can this be removed or modified to make this happen?

Framemaker uses <$filename> for short file name, can we edit this to change appearance? We do not want the short file name of long filename to include the .fm extension can this be removed or modified to make this happen? In compiling our books it would be helpful to not have this extension appear as it then requires us to create extra files without them.

I restore my iPhone from an old Backup in iTunes. The Contacts get overwritten by those in iCloud immediately. How do I prevent this and keep my old contacts?

I restore an old Backup from iTunes to my iPhone 4. The contacts are immediately overwritten by those in iCloud. How do I prevent iCloud contact list over writing the contact list restored from the iTunes Backup?

Yes you can erase the drive and reinstall OS 10.6 from the original disk.
1. Put the disk in and restart the computer while holding the C key down. (The letter C.)
2. When the computer boots you will see the beginning of the OS installation, and have to select a language.
3. On the next screen there is a menu bar. Click Utilities on the menu bar and select Disk Utility.
4. When DU is running, select the hard drive in the left hand column, format should be Mac OS extended journaled, then click Erase.
5. When that task is done, quit DU and proceed with the installation. It will take some time.
6. The computer will restart after the installation is completed and show you an awful noisy welcoming screen.
Then you have to enter information about yourself.
7. Run Software update to get to OS 10.6.8.
Now you can go to the App store and find your previous purchases. You will not have to pay for them again. And you do not have install them one at a time. If for example you want 10.9, and your computer can handle it, go directly to 10.9.1 from 10.6.8.
