Messages not displaying contacts in contact list

Hi all,
I've just upgraded to OS X 10.8 and Messages doesn't display my contact list from the Jabber server I'm using. The contact list shows all groups, but no members. I've installed Adium to double check and it works fine. iChat never had problems. I restored OS X 10.7 from a Time Machine backup and iChat still works with that server.
Any idea what might be the problem? Please let me know if you need additional information.
Thanks and cheers,
Georg

Go into Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > tap email account that you are syncing your contacts with > make sure the Contacts switch is ON (green side showing. If it is already on, turn it off and wait 30-60 seconds, then turn it on again. If you get a notice asking you whether or not to keep your contacts on the phone, tell it to keep them.

  • Mac outlook 2011 not display "Contact and Recent addresses"

    I just installed Mac outlook 2011 in my new 2014 Macbook Pro OSX 10.9.4
    When I type email address to the bar it does not display "Contact and Recent addresses" to list all the typed email address. Only if I press "tab" button, it will finish the rest of the address. The point is I cannot choose the address
    from a list of same name persons.
    However, it works well in my old Mac Book pro. OSX 10.9.3
    Thanks.

    Is this with a specific account or all three accounts?
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Has any of this been tried?

  • Messages on Mac app not displaying contact name

    On Messages on my Mac, despite being synced up with iCloud, the Messages app does not display the contact names of anyone. It shows their phone numbers or Apple email addresses. Is there any preference I can change to make it show the contact names? If it exists I haven't found it. I also used the app meant to scrub contacts to make the phone number format conform with Apple's standard (xxx) xxx-xxxx please help!

    HI,
    I take it you are no longer on OS X 10.7.2 ?
    The display of Names (and/or Pics) in Buddy Lists and the main Messages window (when in a  Chat)  in Mountain Lion is controlled from the View Menu > Buddy Names.
    To set this choice the window has to be the "Front" one.
    So the Messages window (CMD + 0 in the window Menu) gets brought to the Front when any sort of Text Chat is going On.
    the View Menu > Buddy Names items is selected and navigation to the choice you want.
    Full names is the First name, Last name as seen in the Contacts app (Formerly the Address Book)
    Short Names are Nicknames (normally set via Messages) or First name only if no Nickname exists.
    Handle is the Screen Names (If AIM), Jabber ID (If Facebook, GoogleTalk or other Jabber ID) or in the case of iMessages the current contact ID or iPhone number.
    You can do the same to any Buddy list that you also display.
    It can be used in Conjunction with the View Menu > Messages which has options to display Pics, Names or Pics and Names.
    (Names now refers to whatever is set in the "Buddy Names" option).

  • Nokia 5800 does not display contact names

    With some of my contacts an incoming call with a Caller ID does not display the caller's name, although they are in my Contact List and the number is in a valid format.Same is the case for sms's from the same contact.I only have one entry of that contact in my phonebook...Any 1 facing the same issue?

    This is inevitably caused by duplicate entry, (many posts already exist) check settings in options in contacts and make sure memory in use is phone memory. Then you need to go through contacts and make sure you don't have more than one name attached to each number  .
    Good Luck

  • Not all contacts listed on My Verizon page

    My contacts list on the My Verizon page does not show all of my contacts when selecting to show 'All'. There are two at the end of the list that do not show. However, if I select to show just the contacts starting with the letter W or the letter Z, then these missing contacts will be listed.
    When using Chrome version 28.0.1500.95 m, it will not show me the last two contacts as described above.
    When using Internet Explorer version 10.0.9200.16660 or Firefox version 23.0, it will not show me only the last contact.
    How can I resolve this?

    Interesting.  I was able to duplicate this - I have 255 contacts, and using Chrome, the last two are missing from the "ALL" list but there when clicking on the Y or Z (where those last two are located in the full list).  If I choose "contact Cards" view, I can scroll to ALL of them, but you are right, in the "List" view, the last two are missing.
    Since it seems to be a design error (the generated table containing the data is 34 px taller than the display area, cutting off the last two rows), and a relatively minor one at that, my guess is it won't be addressed any time soon, though I can try to get someone's attention on it.  The resolution would be to use card view or click on the last few letters of the alphabet to view those contacts; they are there, just not viewable in the one configuration.
    You can export the list and all the contacts are there in the export too.

  • Contact added on SMS not in contacts list

    A contact I saved from an SMS (that I sent) is not appearing in my iPhone 3G contacts list nor on MobileMe. The contact is editable from the sms messages list and recent phone calls list and has a photo and two phone numbers in it. Can anyone advise how to include it in contacts as normal?

    This was resolved by rebooting my iPhone and then stopping & restarting contact synchronisation with MobileMe.

  • Old contacts showing up in siri and text search results but not in contacts list.

    So what I did was this. I had mobile me, and iphone ocntacts as well as contacts on phone. After updating to IOS5, i had tripples of almost all my contacts (but not all). I converted my mobile me to icloud to discover i couldnt use that email under my new official icloud accoutn as my @me.com adress. So what i did was this. I deleted my old mobile me (now icloud account) compleatly from my phone, my iPad and my computer so there is no trace of it. I then went to my new iCloud account (that i will now use as my only icloud account. going to let the old mobile me one just die so i have 1 central spot for all my stuff).  Now all my contacts are gone. So to start fresh and just be done with the confusion, i go to www.icloud.com and manually (by hand) re type in all my contacts. I updated some info and changed some names (like nicknames and stuff like that to real names). Basiclly compleatly organizing my contacts and such to the way i want them. Getting rid of poeple i no longer talk to and such.  I did it, it syned and all was well. However now here is hte problem.
    If i go to spotlight search, or text search, or search with siri, or any type of search function, all of my old contacts are still there and viewable. All the ones i wanted to get rid of are all still there. However, if i go to contacts and look for thoes old contacts, they are not in the contact list (yes iv checked every "group" and also "all contacts" in groups).  What i want is to figure out how to get all of these old contacts compleatly deleated so they dont show up anywere on my phone. Especially with siri its making searches and auto calling more difficult because its finding two contacts sometimes that are the same person and asks me to distinguish instead of jsut calling.  CAn anybody help?
    Sorry for the wall of text, wanted to make sure to give as much info on the specifics as possible so hopefully i can get this resolved.  Is this a bug or something i did wrong? can i fix it or do i just have to wait for an update?
    P.S.
    Iv since upgraded to iphone 4S and still happening. Also this does NOT happen on my iPad. Only my iPhone.

    Talked to AppleCare for about an hour. After trying many steps: deleting contacts, re downloading from cloud, disabling Siri and re enabling, even Reset all Settings. Nothing worked. Ended up having to restore the phone via Erase All Content and Settings. That of course fixed it.
    Not sure what the issue was. I did have a Mobile Me account before the iCloud migration. For some reason, my contacts would appear in Contacts on the phone and in the cloud only once, but when using Siri it would list 2 or 3 duplicate contacts. Also after we deleted all the contacts on the phone, did an iPhone reset (Home and On/off buttons), my contacts list would show empty. Then I would click on Groups and poof all of a sudden duplicate or triplicate contacts would be in the contacts list.
    Very strange.

  • How do I remove email address not in contact list.they drop down when in the "to"field trying to either fwd ,send or reply. How did they get there in the first place. And the edit key does not show in my contacts

  • Does Not Display contacts name

    Hello,
    Just wondering why on my 6110 when some one in my contacts list sends me an sms it comes up with their mobile number not their name. Only just new and still trying to work out phone.
    Thanks

    G'day all -
    I've got the same problem, sort of. One person in particular has a Vodaphone branded 6234, which insists on sending the number as a fully qualified international, that is, with the +61nnnnnnnnn.
    I imported the contacts from a Sony-Ericsson on my SIM, which worked fine and they seem to have migrated seamlessly into the phone memory (I didn't do it!!!!!), and there are no duplicates. Other numbers show the person's names, but not this number,
    My phone details are:
    V 04.22
    05-11-07
    RM-122
    Nokia 6110 (24.01)
    I've deleted the contact from SIM, re-entered it from the keyboard, copied it to the SIM, all in various combinations -- nothing works. This person/number has NEVER been duplicated (apart from the SIM and phone memory).
    Is this something I have to live with, or is there a fix?
    Gordon.

  • My iphone 4 will not download contact list on mercedes audio 20 BT via pbap

    I have a new mercedes class B with an Audio 20 system. The indications are to sync contact list via PBAP which my iphone 4 (ios 5.1.1) supposedly supports. It works fine with my husband's iphone 4S but not with my iP4. Any idea?

    It was replaced by apple before my applecare had expired, which is kind of why I didnt renew it, I figured I was pretty set after it was repaired.
    Also have a slight update, it would finally die after I was on it for a while plugged in, and after it died I plugged it back in and the low battery symbol came on and after about 5 minutes it came back on at 3% with still no charge symbol. I left it plugged in all night and when I woke up it was at 100%, so it finally charged! But when I plugged it back in to see it it was fixed, still not seeing any charge symbol or signs of it charging, its sitting on the charger right now, hopefully it will charge before my flight in the morning...
    Is it a common thing to have it not charge right away? Is that an electronic error, or...? And will apple look at it if my applecare is up...or will I have to pay?
