Limit im's to contact list only

I have my options set to accept IM's from people in my contact list ONLY.. but since upgrading I'm getting friend requests from EVERYONE !! I thought that " MY CONTACT LIST" meant just that, but it seems that since the upgrade, " They have disabled this option " Is there any way to get this working again ?? Also Is there any way to change the text and background colors ?? For people with limited eyesight , it is impossible to read..

Contact requests has never been blocked by the recieve IM from contacts only option. This is by design, and has allways been like this.

Adding caller with name and number from call list to the contact list only inserts the number and not the name

I recently bought a BlackBerry Z10 and moved my cell service to Rogers to take advantage of the name display service offered by Rogers (Fido also offers this service).
Due to the number of calls that I receive from first time clients, I wanted the name display service to help me know who was calling. Evidently it is impossible to add clients to my contact list before they call me so I'm constantly seeing numbers that have no name to help me decide if I want to answer the call.
When I try to add a caller from my call list to my contact list, only the number gets inserted in the new contact. The name needs to be entered manually.
I understand and realize that not all call display formats are the same and that it's virtually impossible to parse the first and last names from the name portion of the caller id.
However, I would like to see BlackBerry add the functionality to insert the name portion of the call entry from the caller list to a "Nickname" entry in the contact list just like it adds the number to a "Home", "Mobile", or "Work" entry in the contact list.
If a user doesn't have a name display service, there would be no change to how their contacts are added because there is no name variable to copy over.
Can someone from BlackBerry please let me know if this feature can be added to BB10 and when it can be added? For me it's an obvious feature that should just work.
I am really enjoying my Z10 but I'm feeling let down that something so logical and helpful is not supported out of the box.

Marc

Hey ViciousFerret,
It appears that you are not aware of the fact that both Rogers and Fido offer name AND number display service (although the name display feature is an add-on service) and have been offering it for many years (since 2006). Here is a link to the name display service description of each provider...
http://www.fido.ca/web/content/manageyourcalls/calldisplay&lang=en
http://www.rogers.com/business/on/en/smallbusiness/products/wireless/addons/valuepacks/
As you can see from the link below, Rogers and Fido have been offering this service since 2006.
http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20060914005951/en/Teams-HP-Rogers-Wireless-Fido-Succeed-North
My BlackBerry Z10 shows both the name and number when someone calls (and the caller is not in my contact list).
All I would like is for the Z10 (and Q10) to support the addition of the name and number from the caller list to my contact list without me having to type the name. As I mentioned in my original post, to avoid the OS having to parse the first name and last name from the name portion of the caller list entry the name could simply be added to the contact list as a "Nickname". If your provider only has number display, nothing would have to be copied from the name variable in the caller list to the contact list.
I find it difficult to believe that BlackBerry would not be aware of this name display service since it's been around since 2006 with both Rogers and Fido.
I hope I have clarified the reasons why I would like to have this feature added to BB10 and how it's surprising that this simple feature is not already a part of the BB10 OS.
Either way, I don't think this is a difficult feature for the BlackBerry team to add. They're just copying a 2nd variable from the caller list to the contact list.
I'm surprised that Rogers hasn't asked BlackBerry to add this feature to their phones. I think it would be a popular feature for those who receive a high number of calls from first time callers.
How can I get this feature request to BlackBerry for their consideration?
Cheers,
Marc

Hi everyone. New IPad 2 for christmas. Synced via my computer using iTunes. Question about contacts. My contact list only copied to my iPad contacts with email addresses only. The contacts that were transferred only have email address.

Hi everyone. New iPad 2 for Christmas. When I transferred contact to the iPad, I only got some of my contacts. In the contacts that I did transfer, the contacts only have the email listed. No phone numbers, birthdays,etc. Is it possible to correct this as I would like to have all the same contact lists on my iPhone and iPad?

Do the numbers still exist in your google contacts?
Google recently terminated support for new configurations of gmail using Exchange Active Sync for unpaid accounts. In theory, existing configurations will continue to work, but there have been some problem reports.
I've seen several mentions of the problem you describe in the last few days and so far, they've gone unresolved as far as I can tell. The root cause may be in google's termination of AES support.
Facebook contact sync may also be a suspect.

My contact list has disappeared. how do I restore it from a past backup?

My contact list on my iPod touch just disappeared today... for no reason that I can figure out. No other apps seem to have been affected.
I tried sync-ing to my computer, but that didn't change anything.
I would like to find out if I can get ahold of the old contact list (from the previous sync, which was a couple months ago, I think); AND, do I have to go back to that version of everything on my iPod, or can I just grab the contact list only and put it back on my iPod?
I am okay with doing some computer-y things on my own (for example, updating the operating system a while back), but I do not have a lot of self-confidence about these sorts of things, so if you do have an idea about how to fix this, I'll need step-by-step instructions (rather than a general "go back to your old backup" sort of thing).
Thanks!

That's perfectly OK . . .

Why don't all of my contacts show in my contact list?

when i'm writing a text i can add contacts by typing in their name in the search bar at the top, however alot of these copntacts dont show up in my contact list
my contact list only shows 68 contacs however there should be more like 150 in there! can anybody help as this is really frustrating when i need to look for a particular contact!!!!

Ahh.. I think I misunderstood your issue before... In text it timestamps the first message, then if you are going back and forth and back and forth it doesnt fill up with timestamps, but if you wait 15 minutes or more between messages, then the next one will be timestamped.... so if you dont see it timestamped, it was within 15 min of the last message.
I hope this answers..

Local Contacts not showing in Contacts List

Local contacts list only displays two contacts, my own and an emergency contact after sync'ing my Samsung 10.1 tablet with Google.
1.Local Contacts.
When l now open Contacts app, l am constantly presented with 'Setup/ Sync/ Import' contacts.
Yet all my local contacts are still available in the 'Groups' tab.
Through the Groups tab some days ago, l ended up on the full Contacts list, yet am unable to find it again, so the contacts are all there, the problem would seem to be with the App itself?
2. Google Contacts
a) When l attempt to 'Sync' with Google, a repeated 'Sync' error is given. I am assuming this is because there are none and all contacts are saved locally.
b) Why is it not possible to sync Local Contacts with Google and thus have a separate backup.
What l have tried as suggested on 'Setup/ Sync' dialogue:
1. Syncing and reimporting Local Contacts - This has resulted in multiple entries within 'Groups' tab yet not updated main list.
2. Syncing with Google account. - Local contacts are not on Google account and as l said above 'Sync' error
3. Import Contacts - Tried loading SD saved Local Contacts vcf file.
Please advise.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Whilst there is little I can do regarding the syncing behaviour I may be able to resolve the first issue:
Main Menu > Contacts > Menu Button > Filter > Untick both options under the "Filter" Section > Ensure "All" is ticked in the "Local Contacts" Section under "Display Contacts" > Done.

Receiving IMs from people outside my contact list

I am receiving IM's from people that I do not know even though I have selected my Privacy Settings to Allow IMs from People in my Contacts List ONLY! This feature does NOT work. Please fix this feature to protect all of us!

Hi, MarkJohn777, and welcome to the Community, What you are receiving are contact requests, or invitations, which arrive looking like instant messages. Skype does not provide for a way not to receive contact invitations, or to "opt out" of receiving contact requests. Please check the Windows Desktop Idea Board for ideas posted relating to this subject, and offer your support. Regards,Elaine

I set my privacy options to "contact list members ...

Hi,
In my privacy settings I have all settings restricted so that *only* people on my contactlist can contact me either via voice/video call or IM session.
Still, I have been contacted by "the.perfect.one.1" on TWO separate occasions now, who is now blocked (was not so before). How the heck is it possible for this nimwit to contact me? What is the privacy setting good for, if it doesn't work as it should??
I have created a screenshot which can be found here. Some info has been obfuscated for obvious reason.
Awaiting feedback, thanks,
Jaap.

All my settings are set to "people from my contact list only" - why am I getting contact requests from complete strangers - how are they able to find me??
I only want skype to enable me to talk to my family.
The allow communicatons from people in your contact list only setting will only stop calls and instant messaging from users who are not in your contact list. it will not prevent anyone from sending you contact requests.

Limit text messages to contacts only

I wish there was a way to limit incoming text messages to only people in my contact list. Anyone know of a way to do this? I'm getting more spam texts and never from the same number twice so blocking the individual phone number won't help. We already have the block on "premium" messages but they are getting past that too. I'm on an iPhone if that's relevant.

Woody15, thanks for posting. Are you still having issues with your incoming text messages? Have you enable Do Not Disturb in iOS? This feature will allow you to block calls and notifications from coming in but it will not stop the arrival of the message. You can enable it by going to settings> do not disturb(turn on)> tap notifications>do not disturb. From here you can manage your settings for the feature. You can also block calls and text using our website. Get more details here: http://bit.ly/Pay0UH ^SP

HT204053 I have two apple ID's and it's causing problems in my contacts. It repeats the same address and sometimes displays email address only but not the full contact details? How do I get my contact list the same in all my devices (iMac, iPhone & iPad (

I have two Apple ID's and it's casing problems on my contact list as it repeats the address in somecases and in others it only displays email address for a contact. I want to have the same contact list and details on all my devices (iMac, iPhone 4S & iPad Mini)? Is it possible?

By using 1 of the 2 ID's instead of both, choose one, move everything in the other one to the one you chose and stop using it.

My iphone 4s is importing contact information from FB and my email account. When I pull up my contacts it only shows e-mail information and the phone numbers have disappeared. How do I get my old contact list back with the phone numbers?

My iphone 4s is importing contact information from FB and my e-mail account. When I try to look at my contact list it is showing everyone I have on those lists and it only shows their email addresses. The phone numbers for my contacts have disappeared and I don't know how to get them back.

Hi macmac57. I don't memorize my numbers anymore, so I know how important it is to have all your contacts on your phone at all times. Did an update occur or a new application download when your contacts disappeared? Have you been backing up your device with your computer? You can try to restore your contacts from your last backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Are you syncing your iPhone between multiple computers? This can sometimes create issues with your contacts. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1474
If you were already using iCloud to back up your contacts, check out http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998 for some great tips from Apple.
I do hope this has been helpful for you to restore your contacts.

How do I restrict calls to only people in contact list?

My daughter has gotten herself into quite a bit of trouble with who she's been talking / texting to and what she's been talking /texting about. She needs to have a phone so I just can't take the iphone 4 away from her. I have already disabled texting and safari, but Is there a way to restrict incoming and outgoing calls to people only listed in her contacts list? And is there a way to lock the contacts list? I could really use some information on this... and quick.
Thanks in advance for any and all help with this matter.

" Is there a way to restrict incoming and outgoing calls to people only listed in her contacts list? "
No.
" And is there a way to lock the contacts list? "
No.
Sorry

That number is for an apple server in the UK that is used for iMessage activation. A hidden SMS is snet to that number when you turn iMessage on and is used to verify your phone number. I suggest you turn iMessage off. In settings/phone turn on dial assist. Check with your carrier to see if you can send an international SMS as you end that possibility to activate iMessage. Rest your phone (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).) then turn iMessage back on.

'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Why is my contact list showing Facebook profiles of people whose number I don't have in my contacts? Isn't the "contact list" supposed to only identify and match facebook profiles with contact phone numbers within my iphone?

When I went into the Facebook app on my iPhone 4S, I tried finding friends through my contact list. I thought only contacts with cellphone numbers matching a Facebook profile would appear to add as a friend. What's being populated are friends of my friends. Why is this happening? A friend of a friend isn't my contact. Shouldn't a true contact have a phone number in my contact list when attempting to match contact to Facebook profile or did things change with iOS 7.0.3??

Many mail clients reject images, JavaScript and embedded CSS styles. For best results use plain text near the top to communicate your message and give a link to the actual web page on your server.
For mail clients that do have limited support for HTML, use uncomplicated tables and inline CSS rules (inside the body tag).
All that meta data description is a red flag to spam filters. You shouldn't be using meta description or keywords in e-mails.
