N82 - contact name does not appear !!
When I receive a text, normally the name of my contact appears.
In a few cases only the contact's mobile number comes up and I cannot get the N82 to recognise that it is the same person.
Is there a trick to this ?
This happens when you have a duplicated entry in your contacts.
For example you have "01234567890" saved as "Mum" and you also have it saved as "Dad". The phone has no way of knowing which contact is calling so it only displays the number.
Check for duplicate entries and remove them. If you don't find any duplicates compare a contact that works against one that doesn't and see if anything looks different in the number format, like a country code.

Contact name does not appear after upgrading to iOS 5
I recently upgraded to iOS 5 and after doing so, contact name does not appear when someone calls; but text messages the name appears. I have saved all my contacts under +9 format.
This indicates that the phone was carrier locked and had been 'hacked' to unlock it. Updating the phone has re-locked it to the original carrier.
ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Not all do so. Contact the carrier and find out what their policy is.
If it's locked to AT&T, you may as well sell it and buy a new phone. AT&T will not unlock iPhones for any reason. -
When receiving a call on my iPhone 4s the contact name does not appear
when receiving a call on my iphone 4s the conact name does not appear
This should fix it:
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 to verify that it's fixed. -
Contact name does not appear in "from" column, only email appears
I have a contact for which there is an address book entry that contains a physical address, AIM/MSN, and email. However, in my inbox in the "from" column this person's full email address instead of their name appears. When I open the message, the contact's name is correctly displayed in the "from" line. Why is there this discrepancy? How can I fix this?
I have the same problem with Tiger mail. Some, not all, of my Address Book contacts appear with the full email address and not the contact name in my Inbox. If I open the email, the correct contact name then appears. However, if I attempt to reply to this individual using the reply button, the resulting email address that appear in my email message is not accurate and is some corrupted iteration of the correct email address. I have looked at the raw source for these incoming messages and the email address that appears there is fine (just like I have entered in Address Book). Any ideas?? Thanks.

some of my contact names are not appearing when they text message me. They are just showing up as their numbers. I have them saved in my phone so i am not really sure why their names aren't showing up when they message me?
I have this identical problem. For a while my group texts didnt show up on my ipad. Then one day they did, maybe everyone in the group started using the same os version or something. Ever since my first reply to the group there have been complaints of multiple threads. I can not find a pattern for when my group text's decide they want to create a new thread. (it doesnt happen every time) Everyone in the group has deleted the thread, we've all toggled imessage on/off etc. There still hasn't been a solution.
Any help would be appreciated.

CDs loaded, Artist name does not appear in ARTISTS list
Among all the CDs I've loaded and songs purchased, I have 2 Carly Simon
CDs on my video iPod. However, Carly Simon's name does not appear in my
list of ARTISTS in the Music Menu.
I did a sync with my iTunes list and the songs are indeed loaded.
Why is her name missing from the list and how do I get it back?
It used to be there!
Thanks-I just found the answer on the discussion board.
In my SETTINGS I had compilations turned on.
When I switched it off, Carly Simon was back in my
ARTISTS list. -
HT4623 person contact image does not appear while on a call,why?
person contact image does not appear while on a call,why?
when you say "Re-upload the image", do you mean reinsert it, or re-link it?
Neither.
Re-upload it to the web server from your local hard drive. In DW, click on the image file in the Files panel then click the Up arrow to Put the image to the server.
If that does not work, do as Nancy suggests and re-create the image in your image editor then re-upload. -
When trying to forward an email message, the contact list does not appear. It can
only be forwarded by entering addresses manually. I can return an email by replying
but I cannot forward under the Mozilla Fox server.
When I am in Internet Explorer I can utilize the email forward without a problem.
Contacted AT & T to see if it was their problem, since I use att.net.
The technician stated it was a problem with Mozilla because it was not compatible
with the AT & T net work. It could possibly be in recent updates, since I just
discovered the problem within the last week.
Would prefer to enter my email through Mozilla Fox. So can you solve this problem

When I get a message from my friend, her contact name does not show up the way I saved her and I am wondering if someone has hacked my phone or something
That is what I am trying to work through. I understand you are seeing it in Notifications, that was what I was trying to confirm. When you open the message, what is displaying on the phone, Juan? Is Notification the only place that you are seeing this name differently? And yes, if you have the name saved as John, it should display as John. How are you backing up/syncing your contacts? Are you using a supported application on the computer, or are you using a cloud service, such as iCloud? If you go into your contacts and look in the upper left corner of the application, does it list more than one source for your contacts? Do you have more than one person with the same phone number listed in contacts, similar to having two people that work at the same place? Is the Notification only displaying a first name and no last name? Do you have first names only in your contacts?

A contact saved does not appear in contact list.
I saved a contact on my iPhone and the same contact cannot be found in my contact list.
This same contact can be found only if I select all contacts in groups . But if I select each group manually, it does not appear again.
What can be done for this issue ?What is your default account for contacts - Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Contacts > Default Account?

Contact names do not appear when composing an email
When I click to compose an email, names of my contacts do not appear when I start typing ...only email addresses...and they look shaded out. I have gone into contacts and confirmed that names are all correct, and looked through other discussions, but usually this seems to happen with text messages. I don't ahve a problem with the contact names appearing when I text...only when I try to compose a message. Its very annoying because I don't always remember people's email - I'd like to just start typing their name and ahve the contact appear. Iphone 5.
Hi there basecampmason,
I would recommend force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

Artist name does not appear in artist list but album name is in album list - Ipod Classic 160gb
For an album I have imported onto my iPod from iTunes, the album name is in the Album list but the Artist name is not on the Artist list. I have tried deleting the album from the iPod and re-adding from ITunes but the same result. It is a single artist album, so the artist name is exactly the same for each track; all the tracks are there. Big nuisance as I use artist name a lot to find specific albums.

this did not work for me,
Possibly because your problem (you say) was the album name. The original post was about the artist name and is therefore a different problem.

...I had to fill in the Album for each song, then it showed on my ipod, for ones I did ot know, I just put bloody apple.
Huh?
Let me get this right, you had lots of songs without the album name in them, so you filled in the album name yourself - if you knew the album name. If you didn't know the album name, you then entered the same text on all the rest of those songs. So now, you must have a lot of songs all on the same album, even though they're not meant to be - and - you've put text in to a lot of your songs that will remind you forevermore, of just how unhappy you are.
Well! &
My question to you is; where did you get the songs from, that they came without the correct information in them?
If you imported them from a CD, iTunes will go and get the information for you.
If you bought the songs from the iTunes Store, or another music retailer, the information is in the digital file that you purchased.
How therefore, does so much of your music appear to be incomplete?
Am I missing something, or have you simply failed to explain the porblem properly? -
