Message Contact Display

How do I get messages to display contact names instead of phone numbers?

Hi,
In the "To" spot you can start typing a Name.
It will pull info from the Contacts list and any Buddy list (Screen names or Jabber IDs that are not in the Contacts list).
You will then get the option to select the piece of info to use such as the Apple ID or iPhone Number (Or any AIM or Jabber name linked on that Address Card.
It will think any phone number is an iMessage potential
(the list is so long as I have three Macs and keep an Address Card for each on this Mac with different Accounts listed for "myself" hence the Ralph G4 and Ralph MacBook Pro as wel as those listed for Ralph Johns)

  • Has anyone had a problem with their contact display on messages?

    I have turned off other contact groups, but when texting I get all groups displayed when I search for names. Not only this, some of them seem to have downloaded name info from sender! I also now get some email contacts displayed in text name line. Very odd! Never had this problem before update.
    I can't seem to find a way to switch this off. Somehow seems to be an iCloud mess up.

    I am running Windows 7 64 bit, IE8, Dreamweaver CS4 and all is fine and identical to how it was under Vista 64.
    So whatever the issue is, it's probably resolvable.

    Have you tried contacting that web site's support department for help with that issue? <br />
    If that web site can't find the add-on it says is needed, they need to fix that problem with their servers.
    Or you can try using IE Tab2 to run IE in a Firefox tab. <br />

  • Contact display name problem

    Since upgrading to ML I'm having a problem with contact display names in Mail. When I go to compose an email, some contacts have a problem. EG for "John Smith" email [email protected], I type in smith and autocomplete. But Mail displays "[email protected] Smith" as the name. When I look in Address Book the contact card for John Smith is formatted properly. Any ideas?

    2100 SMS messages is a lot ! On a Series 40 phone you will be lucky if you get more than 400 messages in your inbox.
    I think you should ask your question in the smartphone discussion /discussions/board?board.id=smartphones as the behavoir you describe is something not seen on normal (S40) Nokia phones.
    Knowledge should be your Advisor when you need help.

  • Infopath 2013 generic error message that displays

    In an InfoPath 2013 custom form that I created, I have several columns that are required. If the user does not enter all the data that is required, the automatic generic error message is displayed.
    I would prefer to make the error message that is more 'user friendly'. Thus can you tell me if there is a way to make the error message more user friendly? If so, would you tell me how to make the message more user friendly?
    The generic error message that is automatically displayed is:
    'InfoPath cannot submit the form because it contains errors. Errors are marked with either a red asterisk (required fields) or a red, dashed border (invalid values). use ctl+shift+O to go to the next error. Use ctl+shift+I to view error details'.
    Thus can you show me how to make this error message more user friendly in InfoPath 2013?

    Hi Wendy,
    All the error messages for the InfoPath form errors are stored in the intlcorestrings.js file which is located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\INC.
    If you want to modify the error messages, then you can modify that file to change the corresponding error message.
    Per my knowledge, the error you want to customize is IntlCoreStrings.k_strSubmitBeforeErrors and IntlCoreStrings.k_strSaveSubmitErrorInformation.
    You can change the two lines.
    Thanks,

  • When I connect my iTouch to my PC (windows 7) an error message is displayed reading "iTunes was unable to load dataclass information from sync services. Reconnect or try again later".

    When I connect my iTouch to my PC (windows 7) an error message is displayed reading "iTunes was unable to load dataclass information from sync services. Reconnect or try again later". I have completely uninstalled and then reinstalled iTunes. I have also completely reset my iTouch to factory defaults. I have even followed all the advice provided previously to other forum member with the same problem. Nothing seems to work. Please help me someone.

    I'm getting the same problem with both my IPad 4 and iPhone 5
    Just started a few weeks back, Since then I have had two Itunes updates.
    Is this something Apple is aware of and trying to fix?

  • No error message is displayed while deleting an attendee from a course.

    Hi Experts,
    Mu customer is facing problem while trying to delete an attendee from a course under Training and event management. The path he is following is right:
    1) In PSV1(Dynamic Attendance Menu)the employee is seen firmly booked in
    a course.
    2)Right-click on his name and select cancel
    3)Click the dustbin to remove
    But nothing is happening, neither the employee is getting moved from the course nor any error message is displaying giving us any indication of what can go wrong. Can you please suggest what can be the possible problem?
    Strangest thing is, this problem is occuring only for one employee.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Toa

    Hi Manoj,
    Thanks for your reply.
    That is the problem, no error message is showing. When the delete button is pressed, neither the attendee is getting deleted nor any error message is displaying as of why the deletion is not occuring.
    FYI: The employee is not locked.
    Thanks,
    Toa

    Hi, I’ve recently bought an iPad2 and can’t get connected with AppStore or iTunes, when I tap on these icons a grey page pops up saying is loading but never opens the page, no failure message is displayed, it just keep saying is loading.
    Apparently it is not an issue with wifi since Safari, You Tube and Maps work well, I’ve tried some of the tips, e.g. log off/on my Id, change password but no one worked.
    Your help will be highly appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Luis.

    Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

  • Edit error message as displayed when browsers fail to display dynamic pdfs

    I'm sure many people here are aware of the problems that arise when many browsers attempt to open a dynamic writable pdf. The built in plugin that ships with most browsers is unable to display the content, and as a result the following message is shown.
    "If this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of the document, your PDF viewer may not be able to display this type of document. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader for Windows®, Mac, or Linux® by visiting http://www.adobe.com/go/reader_download.
    For more assistance with Adobe Reader visit http://www.adobe.com/go/acrreader."
    (I trimmed a bit because the message is quite long)
    My question is, is there some way to modify the message above by editing the pdf using a program like Adobe Livecycle or Acrobat Pro? The message that displays is basically useless, because the problem is actually due to the browser's inability to display the pdf. If it is possible to replace this message with something more meaningful, such as instructions on downloading the form with right click, that would be fantastic for the users.
    Does anyone know where this information is stored? It doesn't seem to be browser specific (as the browsers I've tested seem to display the same message).

    I got the error messages to work from properties file and some helper class, but not through just defining in faces-config or web.xml.
    I am sure there is a better way to do but hopefully this will help you.
    FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    In my validation method - I have the following code, which will associate
    the appropriate message
    String failureMsg = ErrorMessages.getString("SignUpData.NO_USER_NAME");
    FacesMessage message = new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR,          failureMsg, failureMsg);
    context.addMessage("login_form:username", message);     
    My properties file - errormessage.properties - have the following info
    SignUpData.NO_USER_NAME =Please Enter User Name
    SignUpData.NO_PASSWORD =Please Enter Password
    Helper class - ErrorMessages.java
    import java.util.MissingResourceException;
    import java.util.ResourceBundle;
    public class ErrorMessages {
    private static final String BUNDLE_NAME = "com.path1.path2.resources.error_messages";
    private static final ResourceBundle RESOURCE_BUNDLE = ResourceBundle.getBundle(BUNDLE_NAME);
    private ErrorMessages() {
    public static String getString(String key) {
    try {
    return RESOURCE_BUNDLE.getString(key);
    } catch (MissingResourceException e) {               return '!' + key + '!';
    I am also looking for a way to avoid all this extra helper classes if there is a better alternative.
    thanks

  • Hard Disk Not Exist message is displayed on cq10-400

    Hard Disk Not Exist message is displayed on cq10-400

    Sounds like the hard drive may have failed. If you are still in warranty HP will send a replacement. If not a retail hard drive can be used. Just be sure to get one of at least as large a capacity as the original to use HP Recovery Discs to reinstall Windows. For instance if you have a 320gb hdd you could use a 500gb but not a 250gb hdd.

  • My iPhone has recently been crashing (or rather the apps) when I would try to access my text messages, contacts, phonebook, facebook, or email. I tried restarting my phone and lost all of my contacts. Anyone know what's wrong/how to fix it

    My iPhone has recently been crashing (or rather the apps) when I would try to access my text messages, contacts, phonebook, facebook, or email. I tried restarting my phone and lost all of my contacts. This has been happening more and more frequently. Today I was in my pictures and was trying to crop one and my phone shut off completely. Anyone know what's wrong with it or how to fix it?

    Make sure all apps are fully closed:
    - double tap your home button
    - hold your finger on an app
    - when the apps start to wiggle press the red "-" button on all the apps
    Now do a hard reset:
    - hold the home button and the sleeps/wake button down at the same time
    - the phone will shut off then when the apple logo ppears release both buttons
    If by then your contacts have not been restored you would need to try and retreive them from a back up on itunes/icloud that was made when the contacts were on the phone. You could even stream them from the cloud if they were synced to the cloud. The link beow will show you how to restore from an itunes/icloud back up:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    Also to prevent this issue which i have seen alot when users are still running iOS 5 it would be best to update the iOS on your phone. To do this follow the link below:

    Hope this helps

  • How to control an error message to display at the status bar or in a popup?

    Hi experts,
    I find that one of the error message in an user exit display at the status bar in some conditions while
    display in a pop up window in other conditions. Is there some way to control its display style as I want
    it? Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
      Use the below code....
    CALL FUNCTION 'PTRM_UTIL_MESSAGE_APPEND
    EXPORTING
    i_msgtype = 'I' or 'W' <because you want message to display otherthan error>
    i_msgid = <Your message id which you are using in user exit>
    i_msgnumber = <Your messge number>
    Or
    If you want to display the text in a pop up window instead of the above process then use 'POPUP_TO_DISPLAY_TEXT' to display the message text in the popup.

  • Error messages are displayed when opening the RTV form.

    Hi All,
    While doing a return to vendor the following error messages are displayed.
    1.Go to the Inventory Management --> Return to Vendor screen.
    2. In Action Drop down select ‘New’ and click on OK
    3. A series of errors are encountered.
    4. A warning message as [640+49> 688] and then click ‘OK’.
    5. Notice the error message”Multi view internal error: B_RTV_DETAIL.QTY_RETURNED:current_col_pos exceeds parameter defined maximum right position” and then click’ OK’.
    Can any one help me out in these?
    Thanks,
    Sushanth.D

    This is a coding issue in the form, maybe the number is too big for the box on the canvas.
    It looks also like a business issue is kicking off the error, the message [640+49> 688] looks like some units of stock etc. check, e.g. the returned quantity is larger than the stock on hand.
    File an SR with OracleSupport and/or open the UI's Form fmb code in Forms Developer.
    Multi View relates to an (quite old) OracleRetail (Retek) Forms pll library that enhances the Forms features, if my memory is not letting me down.
    Best regards,
    Erik
