My contact names have disappeared

My contact names on my iPhone have disappeared in my messages and phone calls only the phone number shows?????

If with an Apple iCloud account, after confirming your iCloud online contacts are correct by logging in with your iCloud account with a browser on your computer, on your iPhone go to Settings > iCloud. Turn Contacts off for over the air syncing. If provided a prompt to save contacts locally on your iPhone, decline.
After confirming there are no contacts or no iCloud contacts available in the Contacts app on your iPhone, turn Contacts back on for over the air syncing with your iCloud account settings on your iPhone.

  • Contact names have disappeared on iPhone 4 (iOS 7)

    Recently the iMessage and Facetime toggle on my iPhone 4 had been switching itself to off under settings without me doing so. I had started getting a message asking me to login to iCloud on the days leading up to this, so I thought perhaps iCloud had something to do with the toggle switching itself off.
    So I went to the iCloud settings and switched off contacts as it was the only thing I had on trying to fix this message problem, and immediately it deleted the names from my messages from people with iPhones and displayed only their number. I have tried switching it back on and off multiple times now, but the names do not come back.
    The contact names are still listed correctly in contacts with the phone numbers, but when I send a message or receive a call I can no longer see the name.
    Does anyone know how to fix this? I have tried just about everything I have seen online... restarting/resetting/deleting the messages/turning iCloud contacts on etc., but nothing I do makes the names come back.

    And now it doesn't even back up through iTunes anymore

  • All my contacts names have disappeared after upgrading to the lastest IOS. How do I restore this? I can't find people names etc. I run a business and this is not what I expect every time a new ios or something from apple turns up.

    I've had issues before with upgrades and now I was skeptical of doing the latest upgrade.
    10.7.1..... **** I've got the  latest ios and it's messed my contacts up. Sticking all emails and removing some business contacts numbers so it's been a night mare to run for the last week or so. I don't even see which is important calls or not I just get "no number."
    Anyone know a work around or must I wait for the next "upgrade/fix"?

    1.  Purchase your new hard drive and an external enclosure.
    2.  Put your new hard drive in the external enclosure.
    3.  Connect the external hard drive to your mac (FW or USB).
    4.  Use Carbon Copy Cloner (http://www.bombich.com/) to clone your internal drive to the external drive.
    5.  Take the new hard drive out of the external enclosure.
    5.  Open your computer, pull the hard drive out of your Mac.
    6.  Put the new hard drive into your mac.  Close it up.  Turn it on.  It should boot right up.
    7.  Put your smaller drive in the external enclosure and use it for backup, extra storage or whatever.

  • My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.

    My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.

    The dark bar is caused by the option "Show metadata below image".
    Check the settings for the metadata overlays in Grid view (basic and expanded) by clicking the little "badge" icon below the Browser and selecting "Edit". Is the filename still enabled in the list? And in a high enough position to have precedence for other metadata tags, if the space does not suffice to show all selected tags?

  • Audio clip names have disappeared

    Hi,
    I've just opened a project & all of the audio clip names have disappeared. I've tried deleting the waveform cache; deleting the preferences using FCP rescue; re-booting & zapping the P-Ram; and even tried opening up earlier auto-save versions of the project.
    It only seems to apply to this project; I've tried opening other projects and they're fine.
    Any suggestions?
    Cheers

    Neil Sinclair - you're the man!!!
    thanks for that - this one had me completely tricked. I don't know how that selection got flicked over (I hadn't come anywhere close to touching it - I haven't opened that menu in a little while).
    So, thank you very much!
    Cheers

  • How do I find all my contacts that have disappeared from my iphone and computer?

    I have an iphone 4s   IOS 8.02 and a 27" late 2013 Imac OSX 10.9.5. All my contacts have disappeared.
    Where did they go? How do I get them back?

    If you are syncing them with iCloud, try going to Settings>iCloud on your phone, turn Contacts off, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted, then turn it back on and choose Merge.
    If that didn't restore them, you may be able to restore them from your iCloud backup by following this user tip: Recovering deleted iCloud contacts from an iCloud backup.

  • I synced iphone 4s with Mac but my contacts on have disappeared and they dont even show on iTunes

    I synced my iphone 4s with iTunes on Mac, but now the contacts on phone have disappeared and also I cant see any link on iTunes to see where are my contacts.

    Where do you store your contacts?
    On your computer?
    In iCloud?
    Some other cloud service?

  • My contact names have been replaced with their phone numbers. How do I change their numbers back to their names?

    Hi,
    I just returned from an international trip yesterday. I noticed that all my i cloud contacts were erased when I arrived in England. I am very certain that they were all working fine on my phone before I left for the trip. When I go into my messages, only the phone numbers of my contacts exist, not the names of the people. I'm guessing this problem was caused by travelling overseas. How do I get my contacts back. Someone please help!

    This happened to me too, and my pictures dissapeared.  If you click the number, a drop down menu will appear and you can choose add to exisitig or create new contact. 50% of the time I am able to see the contact in my list the other %50 I have to create a new contact. When you do either of these the name will show versus the number. I think this is a bug with the latest update.

  • My folder names have disappeared?

    Just recently, one of my folders I keep on the desktop, the name disappeared. I can't rename it either. Everything inside the folder is fine, just a bit strange having no name for that particular folder. Anyone know what I can do? Thanks
    Sorry if this is a really simple problem to solve.

    So rename it again to whatever you want.

  • 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?)

  • Some contacts have disappeared from my phone contacts. They are still in the phone because if someone calls me their name appears and if i search in text for contacts they are still there - but if i search in phone contacts they are not there, Help

    Some contacts have disappeared from my phone. Not all just random ones. They are still in the phone because if someone (who has disappeared from my phone contacts calls me their name appears and if i search in text messages for contacts they are still there - but if i search in phone contacts they are not there, Help!

    But once again, I do not want to lose my other texts, app progress, and photos. I could sync the photos but i would still lose the app progress and texts. I would only restore if it was the only option left, but the other space, as already stated, isnt the main concern. The main concern is those 'deleted' texts. If they go, then a good size chunk of the other space goes. I know you CAN delete texts for good. It worked fine before. All i want to know is why its not working for me now, and how to fix it.
    I also know that when you delete texts on your iphone, they get marked for deletion, however they stay on your device (thats why they show up when you search for them.) then when you sync your device with itunes, the texts marked for deletion should disappear. When i synced they didnt disappear. Thats what i need an explanation/solution for. Why the texts marked for deletion didnt get fully deleted after the sync.

  • Now that I have downloaded the new software, the contact name disappears and just the number shows up on my text.

    Now that I have downloaded the new software for my iphone, the contact name of the person who is texting me disappears and only the phone number is there. This only happens if the person texting is using an iphone.
    Any solutions?

    You just need to restore your phone and if you can then you must get an iphone 5s. Its the best iphone ever. I advise you stay away from droids if you have used an apple device. Well like many people you can also keep two phones one apple and one droid.
