My messaging is showing phone numbers now instead of name of person sending message...why did this happen?

Why has my messaging changed to showing phone numbers now instead of name of contact?  How do I change back to the way it was?

Does it only happen on numbers that don't have a country code?
Did you change your region settings?
If so, that may be why.
Put the missing country codes or check your region to match your current area.

  • I sync my purchase from store to ipod now all my music and games are gone why did this happen and how doi get them back?

    i sync my purchases to my ipod now all my music is gone and my games are gone too how can i get them back?

    You most likely synced your iPod to a different iTunes then you previously synced it with.  You won't be able to get all of your music back unfortunately unless you had it backed up.
    Sorry!

  • I recently saved my contacts in iCloud and now all of my contacts are on my daughters phone. I only wanted them saved to my PC. Why did this happen and how can I fix it? Is it because she downloaded the update to her phone?

    I recently saved my contacts in iCloud and now all of my contacts are on my daughters phone. I only wanted them saved to my PC. Why did this happen and how can I fix it? Is it because she downloaded the update to her phone?

    Your daughter must have signed into your iCloud account, perhaps when she updated her phone.  You can confirm this by going to Settings>iClloud on her phone and seeing if she is using the same iCloud ID.
    To fix this you would need to migrate her phone to a separate iCloud account.  To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos that she wishes to keep on your phone to her camera roll by opening her my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tapping the share icon (box with upware pointing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.
    Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone.  This only deletes the account from her phone, not from iCloud; it won't effect your device(s).  When you delete the account you will be asked if you want to keep or delete the iCloud data from her phone.  If she needs to migrate a copy of the data to her new account, choose Keep; otherwise, choose Delete.  Then sign back in with a separate Apple ID to create her new account and if migrating data to the new account, choose Merge when prompted.
    Once she is on a separate account, if she migrated a copy of the data to her new account you can go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into her new iCloud account and delete your data from her account.

  • My calendar appointments show for future events, but disappear once I reach the day of the event.  So I can see tomorrow's appointments now, but they will be gone tomorrow.  Why is this happening?  It's on my iPhone and iPad.

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,

  • I recently rented a movie from itunes (John Carter) and tried to move it to ipod but got message that it is not compatible. Why did this happen as I haven't had problem before and can I get money back?

    I recently rented a movie in itunes (John Carter) and tried to move it to ipod but got message that it's not compatible. Why did this happen as I haven't had problem before and can I get my money back?

    Are you sure you don't have a 5G iPod video?  If so, rented movies are not compatible with that particular generation/model of iPod.
    Otherwise, it sounds like the rental is in HD.  It should have came with a Standard Definition version instead.

  • I recently lost all of my contacts on my I phone?  Anyone have a solution?  And why did this happen?

    I recently lost all of my contacts on my I Phone .  Does anyone have a solution on how to get these back?  Why did this happen?..
    Also,  I cannot get my Iphone calendar to show all my outlook calendar events from my PC. How to get this to work?

    What were you syncing them with? They are meant to be synced with a contact manager on your computer, or a cloud service.
    If you were not syncing them to anything, they're gone.

  • When I updated my Apple TV it shows about 10 computers  on my network when I only have one computer on my network and they are all the same....why did this happen? I only have one computer   linked to the Apple TV

    when I updated my Apple tv it now shows about 10 computers on my network which I only have one tv...how do I get rid of the other "computers" listed as they are all the same, this was not happening before I updated the Apple TV

    It looks to be a bug. A reboot to computer and/or Apple TV may resolve it.
    You can provide feedback to Apple and file a report.

  • HT1688 I am wondering why i got a text from my Mom today. But for some reason it said her email instead of Mom. I am lost. I have emailed her through gmail before, but how and why did this happen ?

    Any ideas ?

    On her iPhone, she needs to change a setting:
    Settings/ Messages/ Send & Receive/ Start New Conversations From:
    and then select her phone number, not her e-mail.
    You both should probably delete any conversations that originated from her e-mail address if you want to avoid perpetuating this confusion.

  • My ipod touch shows 6.83 gb in memory rather than 8 gb. Why is this happening and how can i fix this problem? I have my ipod touch restored to factory settings.

    The overall capacity is supposed to be 8 gb, but on itunes it show much less storage space. What is the Reason????

    Most of the difference is taken up by the operating system and s thus not availabe to the users.  The remainder is how GB is advertised and how it is uses.  See:

  • I have had the same itunes acct and the same music on my phone forever today when i went to sync my phone it threatened to delete all my music on my iphone for some reason.  WHY  did this happen?

  • Help -Why did this happen to my messages?

    Messages saved in a mailbox were all changed to read:
    "The message from [email protected] concerning “Re: Note from Jeri” has not been downloaded from the server. You need to take this account online in order to download it."
    How do I retrieve original messages?
    Mac G5 2gig dual   Mac OS X (10.3.8)  
    IMAC (Intel)   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    For the Mail.app under which Mac - the PPC running 10.3.8 or the iMac Intel running 10.4.7?
    Is this for a user created "On My Mac" location mailbox?

  • My Apple TV used to communicate with my iPad. Now it only communicates with my PC. Why would this happen and how can I fix it.

    When I first got Apple tv, I could  view pictures and listen to music off of my iPad and iPod and PC. Months later I can only play and pictures and music off my PC. Help!  What could be causing this problem?

    Check all the devices are connected to the same network.
    Try restarting the iPad and Phone.
    Try restarting the router.
    Check to see if you have interference on your network.
    Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

  • Some of my website images with embeded links only show the link with firefox, with IE8 the image appears correctly, why does this happen

    my website http://www.functionkey.net. If you view my homepage you will see that 3 of my images with embedded links only show up with the links. I am not using "_blank" in my code. The website was created using Microsoft Frontpage 2003.

    If you look at the page source then you will notice that there are some errors with (missing) closing tags.<br />
    Such errors shows as RED text.<br />
    You need to correct at least all codes marked as red text.
    The first &lt;a&gt; tag isn't closed here and you open a second &lt;a&gt;
