My contacts are only showing as email address contacts. Why? And how do I change  it?

Can anyone tell me why all of a sudden ny contacts are only email contacts and all my telephone numbers etc have disappeared?

Do you sync Exchange Contacts such as Google or Yahoo contacts?
Check your groups at Contacts app in the up left corner.

  • When another iphone gets my messeges they get it from my email address? why and how do i fix this?

    My friends with iphones say that when then get a text messege from me it is from my email address. i dont know why it is doing this but i need to fix it.

    Let it verify your number first. Then go to "caller ID" and select your number, instead of your email.

  • My iPhone contacts are only showing email address and not telephone number

    I have an iPhone 4S running OS6. For some reason of late my contacts are only displaying the email address and not the telephone number.
    I have repowered the phone a number of times but the issue still persists.
    Can any one tell me how to fix this ???

    Hi Kimberly,
    Try the following:
    1. Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive
    2. Check where the Start New Conversation From is set to. If it's not your number, select your number.
    If the above doesn't work...
    1. In Settings > Messages, tap on iMessage to turn it off.
    2. Reboot phone and after the phone restarts turn iMessage back on.
    Hope those help!

  • My iMessage will not register that I have a phone number attached to the account on my mac. It only shows the email addresses. My iPhone and iPad work perfectly.

    Hi Aurion23,
    If you intend to keep using iCloud on your iPad, your best course of action would be to update your Apple ID/iCloud information so that you have a known password and it is associated with an active email address. You may find the following articles helpful:

  • HT1642 iTunes and Contacts are only showing illegible characters

    I must have deleted one of the system fonts! Now iTunes and Contacts are only showing illegible characters.
    Is there any way to restore them? I migrated my old data from an old iMac to the new one, at one point it did ask about a font not being compatible or something, and i guess i made the wrong choice and deleted it/disabled it.
    at the moment iYunes and Contacts only show illegible characters in the menu bar.

    thanks for the suggestion! i tried that but it didn't work. I ended up downloading iTunes again - the fonts were then restored in place again too. Thankfully that seemed to do the trick for Contacts too. Phew!
    thank you again

  • Trying to erase settings from my old iphone but when I have to enter my itunes ID password the old email address is displayed.  How can I change this to my existing itunes account so I can reset this phone?  Thank you.

    Trying to erase settings from my old iphone but when I have to enter my itunes ID password the old email address is displayed.  How can I change this to my existing itunes account so I can reset this phone?  Thanks in advance.

    I know it sounds weird, and that is the reason I posted my question.  Because my case is not like all the ones I've found online and it's confusing.  I added a screen capture of my itunes with my old iphone (the one that houses my playlists) connected to it.
    My playlists "ARE"  in my iphone 4s.  They are still there even though they do not show up when I plug in to itunes in my computer. 
    When connecting my phone to itunes on my macbook, the playlists do not appear anywhere in itunes.  I have found my connected iphone icon, I have clicked on the arrow next to it and it does pull up the standard lists that come with the iphone/itunes:  Music, Movies, TV shows, books.  That's it! below that is "Genius" and below "Geniuns" is "PLAYLISTS"  but the only playlist of mine that shows there is one that I created several years back titled "90's music" and that one I created it on my computer, not my phone.  Under "90's music" there are also other standard playlists that itunes automatically adds.
    Does anyone else have this issue or know how to get around this.  I am starting to think that I am going to have to recreate these lists on my computer

    I have the same problem. I changed my email address with itunes, & the icloud website knows it too. but the icloud on my iphone still has the old one & wont allow me to change it.

    You don't need to maintain all versions of the upgrade chain, but many of us do in case we need to work on a legacy file. If you want to rmove a version, though, ti should be done BEFORE installing the later one. Just reinstall CS5 and things should get back to normal.

  • Half of my contacts are "synced" with an email address I want to delete off of my iPhone. How do i "save" them?

    I currently have an email address I no longer use on my iPhone. Whenever I delete it, I always lose a bunch of contacts (I can tell because I have random numbers in my text messages). So I always have to add the account back. How do I get those contacts which are apparently attached to the email account (although they are only numbers, no emails) to "save" to my iPhone? I don't even know where to find which ones are going to be deleted until I delete them. Thanks in advance!!

    You can not merge accounts.
    Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

  • When i send a imessage the reciever see's it as sent from my email adress why and how do i change

    when i send a imessage the reciever see's it as it was sent from my email adress rather than my phone number, why, and how do i stop this?

    settings -> messages-> receive at-> caller ID ->  [choose your phone number]
    The advantage of using your email address is so that imessages sync across your icloud devices.  But if the only apple device you have is an iphone, then your phone number would be the obvious choice to pick here.
    Once ios6 comes out, this situation won't matter (they're fixing the sync of imessages across devices)

  • Airport has a self assigned IP address. Why and how can I fix it

    Airport has a self assigned IP address and can't connect to the internet. Why and how can I fix it?

    First thing you need I think is to get your iMac connected to the Internet.
    Shut down your iMac and you iPad. Then power off your router. Wait 30 seconds and power up the router.
    After the router indicates that it is connected to the Internet then start up your iMac and see if it connects. If the iMac connects to the Internet then your iPad should too.
    If this power up sequence doesn't work you'll have to dig into the router setup to make sure it is working properly.

  • My contacts are only showing phone number, all my contact info is missing

    Help!  I received a text and it only showed the number, I recognized it being my sisters number, but then I looked at my favorites and all the names started disappearing one by one, now I only have number and no contacts except my google contacts.  Help!!

    Do you maybe have your contacts separated into groups? If so, perhaps you have unchecked the group that the missing contact are in.
    In the Contacts app, click the Groups button in the upper left corner. Make sure all groups have a check mark next to them.

  • Icloud email address is incorrect and I can't change it.

    All of a sudden I cant access my icloud account due to the email address being incorrect. The e mail address that shows up on my phone is a variation of mine but not the right one. I therefore cant enter a password. Please help.

    I'd like to know the answer to this problem as well. My Apple ID changed, however my iphone still has the previous appearing in sign into iCloud. It's greyed out, so i can't change it. If I want to delete the account, which I have tried, it wants the password for the old Apple ID.

  • When you forget your security questions and they ask to send an email to another email address ... How do you change that email address If its no longer in use?

    When you forget your security questions and they ask to send an email to another account to recover the security questions ...how do you change that email?

    You won't be able to change your rescue email address until you can answer your questions, you will have to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5699
    If your country isn't on that page then try this form and explain and see what they reply with : https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    When they've been reset you can then update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201356
    Or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT5570
