Iphone wont display name on incoming messages or phone calls

Just had to replace SIM card on Iphone and now iphone will not show name on incoming messages or phone calls

Yes it always worked until we had an issue with phone the last two days and ATT put in new SIM card and had us back it up to Icloud last night to send away to Apple because they claimed it was beyond repair. We since found out from apple notifications were turned off. A simple fix but now it is all messed up

ashish35,
No one from Apple here - we're just users like you. All I can tell you is that electronic fail and with MacBook Pros (and most notebooks) the components are so integrated as to make a repair to the logic board practically impossible, hence the high prices charged for repairs.
Only you can decide if you want to have your computer repaired or put the money towards the purchase of a new computer. If you do decide to purchase a new unit I would suggest that you also purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan which increases your warranty from one year to three years.
Sorry and good luck,
Clinton

Why does the display name in older messages change if I update my address book for that E-mail address?

I have recently installed Thunderbird 24.5.0 after upgrading a WinXP machine to Win7. I have discovered a strange problem with older mail that was imported from Outlook Express 6.
The pastor of my church uses a generic E-mail address <[email protected]>. This address belongs to the position, not to an individual. We recently had a new pastor come to the church, and I updated my entry for this E-mail address to reflect the new person's name. This is fine for new mail sent since the new person arrived, but Thunderbird has also applied the new name to older mail from the previous pastor. This is very confusing, since the current pastor could not have sent mail from that address prior to her start date.
How can I get Thunderbird to stop changing the Display Name in archival messages that were sent by the previous pastor prior to September 01, 2013? I have not encountered this situation before using Netscape 4.x Mail, Outlook Express 6, and Windows Mail (Vista version).

Of course it does. It looks for a match between the sender's email address and a Contact in your address book. You've edited the Display Name for this account so it gets applied to any message with that email address if that's how your Address Book is configured.
In the Contact card for this address, you can tell it whether or not to use the "real" email address within the message, or the Display Name from your Address Book. Telling it to use the name found in the message ''might'' resolve this, but it depends on how the sender has formatted it. If he includes his name then Thunderbird should be able to resolve it, and you just add both configurations to your Address Book as two separate Contacts, rather than modifying the existing entry.
However, in this situation you're using the same email address for two distinct people, so Thunderbird may not be able to know who sent the old messages. If both have sent using "rector@stpeterscobourg.org" without any personalization then Thunderbird won't be able to differentiate between them.
I have to say that I haven't recently tried using different display names with the same email address, so I don't know for sure if TB can use the display name constructively. If there's nothing in the old messages to tell you which sender wrote them, then TB can't do anything about it.

My iPhone wont let me send text messages to numbers with a different area code. How do I fix this so I can send texts to these numbers?

If it shows up in iTunes and you can sync the phone, could be that the docking port is damaged.
You should get it serviced or looked at by visiting an Apple Store or contacting Apple:

How to I get my contact names to show up in messages and phone calls?

My contact names have stopped showing up in messages and phone calls. How do I fix this problem?

Did you change your region settings recently? (if so, set it back to the region you had before)
Have you checked to see if your contacts are syncing properly in iCloud? (do the contacts match what you have online?)

My new iphone 5 is not syncing text messages or phones past 2012. Can anyone help?

My new iphone 5 is not syncing text messages or phones past 2012. Can anyone help? I have synced my iphone 4 with icloud and itunes prior to syncing my iphone 5 but not sure why it is not working.

Did you possibly restore it from an old backup file?

My Iphone 5s doesn't ring anymore (sms, whatsapp, phone call, reminder in the calendar, etc) I can't find why.
I trieds to go on Youtube and for that I have sound so it is just for the rings.
Can somebody help me please?
Thank you so much!
Mary

Have you checked your mute switch (right above the volume buttons)? If you see orange, it is muted and will affect the rings, but not the audio on YouTube.
Just toggle the switch so you don't see the orange and check again.

How can I listen to music from iphone 4s via apple tv whilst doing a phone call at the same time?

How can I listen to music from iphone 4s via apple tv while doing a phone call at the same time?
When I take a call on the iphone, iphone stops streaming the music to apple tv until I finished the call.
thx!

PS: did ask the same question to apple hotline in germany. Answer: we don´t know... funny

Welcome to the Apple Community.
As far as I know you can't, which sort of makes sense, it seems logical to pause whatever you are doing while you take a phone call, which after all is the primary function of a phone.

Text messages and phone calls from March 2012 to date are missing after activating iphone5

text messages and phone calls from March 2012 to date are missing after activating iphone5. I backed up my 4 before activating my 5. Can i retrieve them somehow?

i would not want to bet on nokia ever releasing a patch or update in the software to allow this function on this particular phone.
if you look at nokia phones over the years, they have added functionality like this across a wide range all at once, take for example timed profiles on symbian phones. these have only just been phased in.
i do not think it is a development cop out, more along the lines that nokia is a huge company and as such would have a huge effor in market research. if they didnt pick this out through their market researc, why spend the money adding it?
the comment on annoyance is entirely personal to me, as it is important to you - you may want to consider moving to a symbian (series 60) based handset as these give you a lot of expansion for this sort of need.

Iphone is disabled and old will allow emergency phone calls, how can I enter password

iphone is disables and will only allow emergency phone calls, how can I enter a password to unlock it?

Just restore it by putting the phone into DFU mode. You will loose every thing but it will be back to normal pal
Press and hold power and home button together for 10 seconds by connecting it to cable, leave the power button but keep holding the home button for 30 seconds and it will go into DFU mode. Open Itunes and just perform a restore or update

Setting the display name in a message

Hello for the following code:
String from = "[email protected]";
Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
I'd like to set the display name, i.e.
"A Message From Foo"
However I did not see a msg.setDisplayName() method... is there any way to do this?
As a working example, amazon sends an email with a return address of [email protected], but the display name is 'Amazon Payments' which looks a lot nicer for the customer. I'd like to do the same.
Thanks

Solution is:
new InternetAddress(email_address, display_name);

Tomcat web.xml "display-name" using flex.messaging.MessageBrokerServlet

       Hello,
When my web application starts with the BlazeDS servlet flex.messaging.MessageBrokerServlet defined in the web.xml we have an error because in the display-name defined at top level in web.xml we have some text containing character ':'. The error is traced to inside the function
         flex.management.BaseControl.getObjectName()
Which gets the object name, and this function calls
   BaseControl.getApplicationId()
which finally calls
ServletConfig.getServletContext().getServletContextName()
This will return or display-name from the web.xml with all it's text. This text contains among other characters the character ':'. We use this tag for the display in the Tomcat Manager to see version number and other of deployed project.
After retrieving this name it is appended in the getObjectName() function to a buffer, this StringBuffer that already contains flex.runtime. and now this name is appended (still with all that we are using for Tomcat Manager with ':' character and other). After the name, other things are appended. Our problem is that, after constructing this StringBuffer an instance of javax.management.ObjectName is created. In it's constructor it takes a String name as input. This String is parsed in base of characters ':', '*', '?', '\n' and so on, and since we have some of these characters in our display-name it all goes wrong.
   My question is, if this is a bug, a limitation or if it is documented that using flex.messaging.MessageBrokerServlet we can not use certain characters in the display-name of the web.xml?
   Greetings, Tim
   We are using
Tomcat 5.5.23

I have found that this is a bug and there is an issue open at the "Adobe Bug and Issue Management System", BLZ-617. I don't know if work is in progress, but when that issue is closed the problem will be solved.

9300i stops displaying names in text messages

I have a 9300i phone and until two days ago it displayed the text sender's name for received messages. Now it displays the number. This is happening with all messages and they are in my address book with the correct number.
If i select a text message and press 'call sender' it then displays the number and also the name from my contacts.
I don't remember changing any settings.
Has anyone experienced this before?
Is there a setting I can check to turn on name resolution?
Thanks, Stu.

no, it was very strange i rebooted the phone twice and that didnt work.
I was typing a text message and it bombed, and when it came back up again it seems to be working properly now.
That is, i've had two texts and it shows both names correctly. I'll have to see how it goes.

Change displayed font of incoming messages.

In Thunderbird, the body of incoming messages are displayed in a very small sans serif font. When I go to Tools/Options the default is Times New Roman, 16pt, which is not what I'm seeing.
How can I make the incoming default larger and a different style.
Thanks, TC

Here is my universal guide to font sizes in Thunderbird. It won't all be relevant to your query.
http://www.ramsden.org.uk/9_Type_sizes.html
Many users are confused by there being two separate settings, one under '''Tools|Options|Display''' and another under '''Tools|Composition.'''
One gotcha of Thunderbird is that while it offers to set font size and style, it forgets to give the typeface as an explicit feature of the outgoing document, and so it will be displayed by the recipient's email viewer or client in whatever their system default font provides. This often means Windows users see serif when you thought you were sending in sans serif. I think the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/stationery/ Stationery] add-on will fix this.

HT201401 No sound when receiving message or phone call - worked previously

For 2 years my phone has worked fine but now I am not receiving any sound to notify me of phone calls or messages. I have checked all the settings and cannot determine why this has happened. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Have you checked the Mute switch on the side...
