My contacts don't show up when people call

I reset the settings on my iPhone 4s and now my contact names don't show up when people call. It only shows the number, but they are still listed in the contact list. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Which phone do you have ?
This happens when there are multiple entries with the same phone no.
Also if the same contacts are stored on SIM and in Phone memory also and you have selected to show contacts from both these destinations..
In contacts-->Options-->settings.. contacts to display.. select preferably the Phone memory only.. Also save the contacts to Phone memory to get better functionality of the phone book.. There are many limitations of storing contacts on SIM.. Periodically take back-up on PC to avoid unforeseen problems with your device..

  • Email contacts don't show up when composing email

    Hi,
    I recently got an iPad2 and added a couple of email accounts including gmail and yahoo mail. However, i noticed a key difference when composing email from an iPad rather than on an Iphone.
    On my iPhone4 when I compose an email and in the 'To:' address field I start typing the name of my contact iphone is able to search from my contact list from my gmail account, however this does not happen on the Ipad.
    Any idea how to fix this?
    I have set-up my email accounts in the same way as I did on my phone.
    Thanks very much

    It also work on the iPad, so try to turn off/on your iPad or a reset, keep the On/off button and the Home button pressed at the same time till you see the Apple logo in your screen.

  • The names of my contacts are not showing up when I receive text messages

    The names of my contacts are not showing up when I receive text messages, only the number is showing up. How can I fix this?

    This is a HUGE iOS bug.. Following a tip from another poster, I was able to fix the issue (temporarily).
    This worked for me on Verizon.
    I dialed *228 on my Verizon phone. I pressed "1" to activate it over the air. I then went into task manager and killed all the running apps.. Waited a few minutes.
    The next text I got displayed the number correctly!.. Until I rebooted, that is.
    PLEASE, call Apple and speak with a senior engineer on this. They can't fix it if they don't know it's a problem! (800) MY-IPHONE

    Hi, Mrs.Frankie57. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you want to delete a song from your iOS device on iOS 7, tap Songs, swipe the song from right to left, then tap Delete. The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

  • N97 contacts don't show up

    Okay, to cut a long story short... I tried to install an app on my phone and the installation failed. After that I started to get a "system error" message every few minutes on my phone. I decided to do a soft reset on the phone. This sorted out the error message..... BUT all my contacts seemed to have been deleted from the phone book! and all of my photos are no longer in the default photo album on the phone, but seem to be present in the downloaded "photo browser" from nokia!
    the strangest thing is this though... when one of my friends calls me... their contact details (i.e their name) shows up on my phone! but they are not there in the phone book! what's going on?
    i thought a soft reset just deleted user settings, not the contents of the mem card.
    anyway, can someone figure out how to restore my contacts to my phone book. they have GOT to be there somewhere, because they show up when someone calls me!
    thanks

    Are you using one of the Web_Safe_Fonts  Web Safe Fonts? If not then any computer that does not have it installed as Kirk pointed out will substitute some other similar font and change the appearance of the page.

  • Large photo when people call

    I used to get a large photo in my screen when people called. Now it's a small round one. And I have the feeling that some old contacts still come up in big.
    How do i get all of them to show in the full screen when they call.
    I have an Iphone 5s

    This was added in the iOS 7.1 update as a design refinement. It's a shame because I liked the full screen photo too. However, I'm pretty sure they're bringing it back in iOS 8 this September. You can see it in one of Apple's promo pictures for it and it features in the beta versions:

  • My phone number no longer shows up when I call a l...

    Hi, 
    I paid to have my cell phone number show up when I call a landline. This worked great for a good while (maybe 2 years). It is no longer working. 
    Do I need to renew this feature ? If so, how do I do this.
    TIA

    PS hope this is the correct forum 

    What's the format of your video? That will give you a hint as to what plugin is failing (or missing).
    If you don't know, what's the URL of your site - it shouldn't take long for someone to work out the specifics.

  • I cannot get my new 5S to emit a sound when people call in. Not the "Do not Disturb".

    Whatever I have done to the 5S phone or something within it, I cannot get it to emit a noise when people call in.
    I have read recent blogs but to no avail - theproblem still exists.
    What to do?

    In the control panel is the moon black or white it should be black On side of iphone is the mute button set to red? Go to sounds and pick another ring tone are the volume button tuned up If it still will not work Try a Reset press power button & menu button hold both down together Until you see the Apple Logo you will not lose any data.
