My iMessage is not recognizing my contacts
I can not get my ipad, iMessage to send any messages. Keeps saying they are not registered for iMessage. What am I to do.
You can only send messages to other iOS devices. Plus, they must have activated iMessage.

Anyone notice that text/iMessages are not listed by contact's name but the contact phone number now?
Anyone notice that text/iMessages are not listed by contact's name but the contact phone number now after 5.0.1?
Yes, I just noticed this after upgrading to 5.0.1. That's why I came here to this forum. I tried re-syncing with address book, but it didn't help. Not only is my text messages only showing phone numbers, instead of contact names, but my call log is doing that as well.

My phone is not recognizing my contacts
Help. All of my contacts are in my phone. However, my phone is not recognizing them. When one of my contacts calls, only the number, not the name, shows up. Also, my siri won't work with contacts.
If you are a Verizon user, try this:
Open the phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating "Settings updated."
Double tap the Home button to bring up the recently used apps list at the bottom. Locate the Phone, Message, and Contacts apps, swiping if necessary, and press and hold until they jiggle then press the red minus sign to stop them.
Wait a 3-5 minutes.
Try your phone again and see if its working now. -
Why is my Macbook Pro not recognizing my contacts in Messages?
I downloaded OS X Yosemite on my Macbook Pro HD yesterday and everything seemed to integrate perfectly well except for the Messages app. I thought it may have been an error because my iPhone 5's OS was outdated, so I installed iOS 8.1 on my phone. That didn't change anything. My Mac won't send, or receive iMessages on my Macbook. It seems that the Messages app doesn't recognize my contacts when I click on a specific contact and highlights the name read in the Messages app. Does anyone have an idea why it is doing this, and what can I do to resolve the problem?
Can your MacBook Pro (MBP) recognize any Wi-Fi network, just not yours? If so, what is the make & model of your wireless modem?

Phone numbers are not recognized in contacts when i am in roaming
Let me expain this in detail: all my contacts are saved in a format:
+country_mobile operator prefix with contact number. When in roaming and receive a phone call, phone number is not displayed at all but exists in exactly the same format as it is in my contact details. The only difference is that displayed number in roaming does not contain space after country code. I hope this can be fixed somehow!?I agree that this is an answer for issue but the space is assigned by iOS in contacts, not myself and the phone call in roaming either from operater and software, but software must be able to match it or not to save it on contact details with space after country code.

Can iMessage be used with non iOS 5 users, ie non-apple users?
My new i-pad 2 error message says these contacts are not recognized by imessage when I try to send them a text.So that means that I can send text messages through my i-phone to reach non iOS 5 users, but not through my i-pad 2.

I have a friend who uses an iPod to iMessage me and about two nights ago, my messages to him from my iPhone were no longer listed as delivered and then I started getting the message "Contact is unavailable. This person cannot be reached by iMessage at this time." I have my main iMessage email and phone number linked to my iPhone. I decided to try messaging him from an iPad that only has my iMessage email linked to it, and the iPad gave me a message saying his email is not linked to an iMessage account. After that, I tried ANOTHER iPad. This one runs iOS 5 and has a separate iMessage email linked to it and the messages were not listed as delivered, but they did not give me a failure message. I unlinked my main iMessage email from my phone and linked the secondary iMessage email to it. I still got the first message about the contact being unavailable when I attempted to send a message from my iPhone. Then, I messaged him again from the iPad running iOS 5, and the message I sent showed up on my iPhone and was listed as delivered. Is it possible this friend has blocked me? He has not messaged me for two days. I was under the impression a block would simply result in my messages being listed as delivered, not that the contact would be unavailable or that his email is not linked to an iMessage account. Is there any way to force my iPhone to send messages to him using only my iMessage email and not cell phone number? Is this actually a fluke and he has deleted his iMessage account, but the iPad running iOS 5 did not recognize that? But why would my iphone list the messages as delivered then?
After much research went with Comcast. Package includes 12mbs, phone service, all premium channels, 2 HD dvrs, 1 HD receiver. After promos end I will be paying more, but I'm getting more. Customer service before purchase and installation phenomenal. I actually set up order over phone instead of online because of the customer service. No complaints about Direct TV, but canceeling them also because from having to shop for new Isp resulted in this. My speedtest now says I am 85% faster than most of the U.S. I am very happy. I would consider my verizon problem solved. Oh, free router also.

Hello everyone.. I recently bought iPad air and I am trying to connect it to my windows 7 notebook. And so I am trying to install itunes in windows 7. But I keep on getting the error message:
"\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Bonjour Service\Parameters. Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your support personnel."
I already did this: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2006/09/04/739820.aspx that was given in this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1558225?tstart=0
But unfortunately I still get the error message during installation. If I ignore that and continue installation, iTunes is installed and seems to work. But my windows does not recognize my iPad. I read somewhere that iPad driver is in iTunes.
Please help... thank you very much.iPad not appearing in iTunes

Hi! I've been using Goldmine contact management software for many years and syncing with Companion Link successfully, then ITunes to the IPhone. Suddenly, my IPhone is not recognized and won't sync. I see a message telling me to dock the phone? Any ideas? Thanks for any assist!
Hi Ken,
Dennis here from westport. I too am a goldmine user for many years and would love to know how you sync.
I am looking at a product called wmobile, but may be problematic on my current system.
thanks for any help... -

IMessages are not working for only one of my contacts!
I have tried everything. Restarted my phone, hard reset, iMessages on and off, reset network, NOTHING! I am beyond frustrated! It is saying messages are delivered but my friend says he is not receiving and he can only send text messages to me.
Anyone have any tips or ideas??Hi BeeHive069,
If you are having having iMessage issues with a specific contact, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful, in particular:
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.

When I try to send an email with photo attachment on my iPad a screen appears which states " the sender is not recognized by the server" . What do I have to change so I can always send emails fr om my iPad with or without attachments. I am a novice!!!!!!
If you purchased about 2 years ago new I am sure it is a Intel iMac. To find out what type of iMac you have just click on the Apple menu item in the finder and select about this Mac. I would check the ISP mail site and get the correct outgoing mail server info.

When someone in my contact list calls or texts me, the phone does not recognize and shows the name, but only the number as if the person that is calling me is not on my contacts. Any advice?
Found the fix, as this happened to me this morning...

If you're on Verizon, you can
ignore all the BS at the beginning, and under Additional Information, follow these steps:
If you are using using Verizon as your provider and iPhone displays the ten-digit number instead of the name of the other party, please follow these steps:
Dial *228 from your iPhone.
When prompted, select option 1.
When complete, you will hear a confirmation message.
Force the Contacts, Messages, and Phone applications to close using the following steps:
Ensure that you have recently opened the Contacts, Messages, and Phone applications.
From the Home screen, double-click the Home button to display the recently used apps.
Tap and hold the icon for the Contacts application until a red minus appears.
Tap the red minus to close the app.
Repeat the previous step for the Messages and Phone applications.
Tap the Home screen to return.
Turn iPhone off and then back on.
Hope this helps!
John
