Messages will only use AIM names from Contacts

Hi, all of a sudden, Message will only use AIM names from my Contacts when I create a new message. In the example below, all three of these people have multiple other address in Contacts that Messages used to present as options but, as you can see, now I only get the AIM names.
Does anybody know what might be happening here?
Thanks

HI,
Bottom left of that pic (out of sight) will be a extra info spot that tell you how many Non iMessages accounts you have logged in and tells you the Description Names (taken from the Preferences > Accounts)
If in the Preferences > General Section you have Unticked the item about "Gather(ing) all Accounts into one List" then you will get a similar List in the Window Menu (of Logged in Accounts).
If only an AIM valid ID/Screen Name remains Logged in then the "To" drop down will only show AIM Buddies.
A Pic I have used elsewhere showing the Prefs/Accounts with the Descriptions and the Window Menu plus a arrow to the Main Messages window list of same
I restricted my Logins to one AIM (Main AIM - highlighted) and a Google Login and the Bonjour account.
As Eric says make sure other accounts are Logged in or Enabled.

  • How can the artist view pictures in music be updated in IOS 7?  My device (Ipod Touch 5th) used to have the artist pictures but when I restored it from factory default, it only used the pictures from the album.

    Please help.  I have updated to the IOS 7 and there was a cool feature in the Music app wherein when you view an album artist, i think apple updates the picture of that artist from their gallery.  But when I decided to restore to factory defaults, it never came back and only uses the picture from the albums.

    I have the same problem.  After a full restore my iphone 5 does not display the artist photos, but it does show the correct album covers once i go into that group.  Instead i get a grey box with diagonal writing saying the band name but no picture.

    I am using an ipad2 with the latest operating system upgrade. My problems started with the upgrade to v6. Before that, portrait and landscape pics were uploaded from camera with no problems.

    Hi,
    I'm from germany so no 'best buy' but I think I will lock around sleeve/bag for a different product with same measures. Any tip?
    The clear plastic case is not what I want. I would like to use the player without such protections. I just want a sleeve to protect the player while its in my jacket/pants.
    Btw, i have bought this version: Creative Zen (maybe european version?). I also doesn't seem to have your mentioned sleeve. I also couldn't find it on the website.
    Anyway, thank you,
    Chris

  • IMac will only restart or shutdown from power button.

    My iMac will only restart or shutdown from the power button, it also will not logoff users. It starts ok, but only after a hard reboot?? I have repaired permisions and no change. I have a clone I can restore from but any ideas whats up here?
    The only things that I know I have altered are deleting files saved during migration from Panther (months ago)and running Unbuntu Live CD.
    iMac G4 15 Mac OS X (10.4.7) 728ram

    Are you booting into Ubuntu Linux? Most of us here wouldn't now anything to do with it. If the problem is occurring when booted into Mac OS X, it may be a sign of data corruption in the power management and user settings. Some corruption is easy to repair such as fixing the directory (which I'd only do after a clone). Here's how according to my FAQ:
    http://www.macmaps.com/directoryfaq.html
    And I assume the issue is with your iMac G4.

  • I just upgraded to Lightroom CC5 from 4, and the card will only download 1 image from my recent shoot of 10 images. Why can't I see the other images?

    Lightroom 5 will only download one image from my card, when I shot 10. Iphoto doesn't have a problem with it. I never had this problem with Lightroom 4.

    Sort by capture time and the images won't be "scattered all over the place".
    Just show "NEW" photos in the import.
    As Jim said, reformat your card after all your backups are done and verified.

  • My ipad2 message will not  recognize any of my contacts any suggestions used to work

    My message quit working. Will not recognize any of my contacts. Any suggestions?

    Panther is quite outdated operating system, it would be better if you could upgrade atleast to 10.4 "Tiger", 10.5 "Leopard" is the last operating system which will work with PowerPC -processors (G3, G4 and G5) so you might want to upgrade as much as you can at once. Apple does not seem to host any versions of iTunes on their website which would work on 10.3 "Panther". iTunes 10.1 will not work with Panther. I Googled quickly and it seems that iTunes 7 is the last series which workd on 10.3 but they might too old to support your new iPods.
    I think you'll need to upgrade your OS.

  • Preference for not using middle names from address book in emails

    I have quite a few contacts that I have their middle names in my address book. When I type their name in a new email, their full name is displayed in the "To" field. I don't want the middle name to show up in my outgoing emails. I also don't want to delete everyones middle name from my address book. Are there any preferences or plugins that allow this behavior?
    I also have some contacts that I have nicknames for...the most glaringly obvious being "Mom" and "Dad." I don't want to send an email to my parents with their name in the "To" field. Is there a plugin or a preference for this as well

    Greetings,
    Sorry, but there's no way to do what you want. The only way to avoid using a middle name in the To: field is for you to delete that from your contact, and from the Previous Recipients list in Mail. The same would be true for those contacts where you have a nickname.
    But ultimately, the name use by Mail and Address Book would be determined by the recipient when they send you an email; if they use their full name, that's what Address Book will change it to.

  • Upgraded to Mavericks now Messages will leave off the name.

    When using messages in Mavericks chatting with 3-5 other people, Messages will just display the typed in conversations without putting the name of the chat member.
    Get hard to tell who said what.
    What can I do to correct this?

    Answering  in your message,
    HI,
    I was a little confused by the pics at first as the first one that is "Working" is set to Names Only and not "Names and Pictures" Yes my mistake picture is "Names Only"
    must have changed to pictures and names after screen shot. I will also check if "names only" works.
    The second also seems to show Text outside of the balloons ? Yes it does, don't know why. It also didn't show all of the text. Look in the box on left side with the name: is a text not listed in the text screen.
    I also checked the Messages > View Menu > Buddy names that only used to work on the Front Buddy List and found it also effects the main Messages window and overrides the View menu > Messages choice. ???? will look at settings later.
    What happens if you change the style from Balloons to one of the others. Will Try
    Appreciate all the help. Thank you

  • HT201302 How to upload photos from "events" from an iPad. The "events" no longer exist on a computer, and iPhoto will only show the photos from my camera roll.

    I uploaded a few events to my iPad from my Macbook, a long time later I updated my Macbook, and reformated it, so it is now under a new name, the photos on the iPad will not transfer, the ones in the albums, how do I get them over to the new Macbook?

    OK thanks. I downloaded the Simple Transfer app but not too sure how to use it to transfer pics back to PC.  It asked me to go to a website but I couldn't get it to transfer anything - it seemed to only want to transfer from my PC to the Ipad and not the other way around.
    I'm very new to apple products so big learning curve for me.
    Any suggestions?
    Thank you for your help.

  • Inbox won't display senders names from Contacts list?

    Is there a way to get the iPhone email Inbox to display the sender's name from my Contacts list when the user is on my Contact's list? As it is now, when I go to my Inbox on the iPhone, it shows a list of email addresses instead of the name's of the users, even though they are on my Contacts list. Once I click on a message and view it, then it shows the Contact List user name, but it does not show that data on the Inbox page.
    Is this a bug or is there a setting to change this behavior or something else?
    Thank you.

    Mikeintokyo and C.Moser,
    I'm with ya. I wonder if someone somewhere is working on an mail app that can both display names and allow us to use emoticons. Having used emoticons for years with my students, the sudden lack of them has some of them thinking I'm mad at them. Also, when I try to use the heartmark or other symbols available thru the numbers keypad, the email I send is apparently unreadable.

  • Using alias name from view

    Can I create somehow a view like this one:
    CREATE VIEW clerk_view AS
       SELECT employee_id as ei, last_name as ln, department_id as di
       FROM employees
       WHERE job_id = 'PU_CLERK' ;and using this view with aliases, e.g.:
    select * from clerk_view where ln = 'Mickey';
    My Oracle database version is 11.2.0.3
    Best.

    Hi,

    So can you tell me what I'm missing in above CREATE statement? Sorry, no, not without knowing exactly what you're doing. That's why you need to post a complete test script that people can run to re-create the problem. Except for the identifier LN, there's nothing wrong with the code you posted per se , but there could be millions of things wrong with how how you're trying to use it. Even if I could post millions of suggestions, you wouldn';t want to read them all, just to fond the one or two that apply to your case. So way exactly what your case is. Post a complete test script that creates and populates the table (if necessay), calls the view, tries to use the view, and gets the error.
    When I create view in the same way in production and use alias name, I've got following error: ORA-00904. Not everyone who wants to help you has all the error codes memorized. That's why you should post the complete error message.
    So Oracle don't know that my employee_id or other column have also alias name?!Sure, it will know the alias name. That's exactly what aliases are for.

  • Removing name from contact list

    There is a group to which I send a general e mail a few times a month.  I have these contacts listed under a group name, so when I type in the group name under "To" all the names appear.  There is one person who  no longer wants to  receive the group notices, and I have completely removed her name and contact information from my address book, but when I type the group name in my "To" box her name still appears.  She has  a "hotmail" account, as do several other members of my group.  Is there anything else I can do, short of trying to remember to delete her name every time I send an e mail to this group?  

    When you get hold of one of those first line reps on the phone, it depends very much on just who happened to answer the call.  Some of them are very good.  Others not so much.  The only reason I found out about the memory for the To: line is that another poster had asked about it and I contacted Plaxo about it.  There was an exchange of emails and they explained how the thing works.
    Do you see "Forget" to the right of the first 3 o 4 names when that list comes up?  I had no idea what that was for.  It is the automated sorting software that the mail program uses to determine what addresses you use most often when typing in a given letter/word combination into the To: field.  It then ranks them in that order.  If you want it to change you click on Forget and it should remove it from the spot in the list.  At least that's what was explained to me.  But when I first asked them about it they tried to tell me it was something to do with my browser, which it is not.  So I sent them  a screen shot of it and then they said "oh wait----yeah------that thingy", and then gave me the correct information.
    They don't all know all the features of the mail  program or address book.

  • Can't Forward Or Lookup Additional Names from Contacts to add names to Forward or Reply emails

    Some setting is off that I can no longer forward emails.   I can reply and reply to all - but I can't look up additional names to add to the reply either.    Even if I type the full email address in the forward message it does not let me send the forward (send is oddly not an option).    I can go to contacts and send a new email from contacts.    I just can't forward anymore.   Very odd.   My support group says phone is broken.   Seems like it has to be some simple setting.   Please advise.  

    Hi GiftThatKeepsOnGiving,
    Try resending service books to your BlackBerry then retrying the forwarding with a new message. http://bbry.lv/99SL8c
    If this does not resolve the issue, try removing your service books database, then resending service books again.
    Make sure you test with new messages as you will still be unable to forward the previous messages. http://bbry.lv/buj0rQ

  • All messages will only show the latest message received, but not the rest of the conversation until I send a response

    I'm having some issues with my messages, text and iMessage. When I receive a message it will only show the last one sent from that person, even if they have sent me multiple texts. I am then not able to see the rest of the conversation until I send a response back. Even then the message takes longer to send than when messages is working properly. I've tried resetting and restarting the phone and it is still doing the same thing. It has done this in the past and restarting the phone usually worked, but I recently did the latest software update and it is now doing this consistently. Anyone have any similar issues or ideas to maybe try and fix it?

    Hey Olivia,
    If you are having an issue with your iPhone only showing the most recent message of a conversation in the Messages application, and you have already tried restarting and resetting the iPhone, the next thing to try would be to back up any data on the iPhone, erase it and set it up as a new device. See this article for directions -
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Happy computing,
