Name won't come up when she texts me

Whenever my friend texts me, instead of her contact name coming up, it just comes up as her number, and I don't know what to do?

Have you done a reset of the phone? Press and hold sleep/wake and Home buttons together until Apple logo appears, then release them while phone reboots. Fixed?
If this doesn't help then does keyboard appear okay in text fields of other apps, or is it just Contacts that has this problem?

Just purchased an IPod for my daughter and it's displaying my name when she texts

I just purchased an IPod for my daughter. I added it to my Itunes account and when she text's or Facetimes it comes up with my name. How can I get it to come up with her name?

It seems you have to make sure that email address is added to the Contacts app and her name associated with the address for that contact.

My mail window won't come up when I click the mail icon in desktop. Mac Book Pro

My Mail window won't come up when I click the mail icon in desktop. My Accounts both show as marked in accounts.

Try clicking GO in the menu bar/Go to folder in the pane enter ~/Library/Preferences/com,apple.mail.plist
Another way is to hold the OPTION key click GO in the menu bar>Library>Preferences, locate the the file com.apple.mail.plist
Drag this file to the trash (do not empty)
Quit Mail log out and reboot, see if that helps, if it does not you can drag the file from the trash and and replace it where it was. (it will probably give you a this file already exists, click replace)
Post back there may another thing to check.

Okay so my friend just got an iPhone 4, and when i text her (i have an iPhone 5), and when she texts me its an iMessage, but when i text her, its a normal message... Any way to fix that? its really annoying

Okay so my friend just recently got the iphone 4 and I have the iphone 5. When she texts me its imessage, but when i text her it is a normal sms message.. I think ive tried everything at both ends... Any suggestions????? its driving me crazy

It is no wonder she is not receiving your messages if she has iMessage turned off in her iPad.
For her to receive iMessages on the iPad, she needs to turn iMessage ON in her iPad and then she needs to be connected to the internet in order to receive them. This connection can go through WiFi or through cellular data if her iPad has this functionality, but those two requirements are a must.
1. iMessages ON
2. iPad connected to Wifi or cellular data.

My mail app won't come up when i click on it.

My mail application won’t come up when i press on it. But when i click on mail the mail bar still comes up at the top of my screen. This is also preventing my macbook to shut down as well. It says the mail application has canceled shut down. What do I do?

Several names in my contact list won't come up when I try to text them

My daughter is one her second Pantech Jest. This second phone is now having the same problem as the first phone!
There are a couple of friends in her Contact List who simply will not come up (they will not appear in the drop-down) when she types part of their names in the "New Text Message" "to" box.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
We have three Jests & the other two phones have not had this problem.
We took the first one back to Verizon & the tech there couldn't solve the problem & he was REALLY sharp!

yea i was having the same problem and did a factory reset, it has been working ever since but then i had issues with my backup assistant! now its facebook and phonezoo i cant get txt from! argh~

I gave my sister my old phone and lost my contacts and when she text me it comes in as if it was sent by my email address

I gave my sister my iPhone 4 when she transferred he information from her old phone iCloud removed my contacts and put her contacts in my iPhone 5. When she send me a text incomes in from my email address

Your sister needs to create her own Apple ID and use it for iMessage and to create her own iCloud account and stop using yours.
Have her go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with a different ID to create a separate account. She should then turn on her iCloud syncing and when prompted choose Merge to upload her data to the new account.
Then she should go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in using her new iCloud ID. If she's using your ID for FaceTime, have her do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime. (You can share the same ID for iTunes without any probems.)
After she has migrated her data to her own account, you can go to icloud.com and delete her data from your account.
You'll have to restore your contacts from a backup, if you have one.

Firefox Windows Won't Come Forward When Taskbar Button Is Clicked (Solution)

I posted this issue once before, but the thread was closed, so I am opening a new thread so that I can share the solution.
My problem was that many of my Firefox windows wouldn't come forward when I clicked their taskbar buttons. What that meant was that the content of those windows was permanently lost to me since there was no way to look at them. Reducing the number of windows by closing the ones I could access didn't seem to work.
After complaining here in the forum, I discovered that I had a virus on my computer. I believe it was a root-kit virus, but I don't remember for sure (I don't think the type of virus will have much meaning to most people anyway). Blocking windows and programs from opening is a common behavior of viruses. In fact, many viruses will prevent your anti-virus program from opening, so there is no way for you to scrub the virus from your computer.
All the anti-virus companies (AVG, Symantec, McAfee, etc.) now offer a service where one of their technicians will access your computer remotely and scrub any viruses from your computer. The cost is in the range of $100 to $150. I paid AVG $135 (I found out later that other companies were cheaper). The technician was in another country (the Philippines, I think). Despite that, the technician was very competent and did a good job of eliminating the virus. Once the virus was gone, all my windows opened without a problem. After this experience, I called around to the other companies and found that some of them use technicians in India and some in the Philippines.
So if you are having the problem of programs or windows that won't open, this is the solution.

Thanks for posting that solution!

Can't forward emails; contacts are in icloud and won't come up when I push cc

I can't forward email in Outlook. I used to just forward to myself then use cc to forward to other contacts that would come up when I pushed cc. Now everything has been moved to icloud and it won't come up to cc anyone. My iphone broke so they sent me a refurbished on and since I since I backed up my old phone and installed the sim card into the new one I have had nothing but issues...this being the worst. Another issue is that since then all the songs I had on my old phone are not there anymore. The nearest Apple store is 250 miles from me. Not sure Apple and icloud is the way to go. Does anyone know what is going on with this???

Outlook 2013 isn't supported at this time. Outlook 2007 and 2010 are. Microsoft has not yet decided to make 2013 compatible.

HT5035 gift card balance won't come up when making a purchase - defaults to my visa - why?

paying by gift card balance won't come up as an option to pay - defaults to my visa - Why and
how do I use my balance?

If what you're buying is a gift, it's supposed to do that. If not, the iTunes Store servers are either checking the validity of your account or having trouble; if the credit card gets charged except as noted above, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

Track names won't come up

I can't get track names to show up - i get a CDDB Error - HTTP Processing Error. I'm on a wireless broadband connection from home so i'm not using a LAN or have any proxy settings. I'm running McAfee Security, but i tried disabling my firewall and that didn't help. I've checked security settings and iTunes is listed as Full Access. Is there somewhere to add in Gracenote as having full access even though it's not an application? ANY SUGGESTIONS??
I can get it to work just fine on my other laptop with the same connection!

Howdy Jillsco93,
There may be instances where track information is not available for certain albums. I have located an article that may help you address the issue:
iTunes 12 for Mac: If you don’t see song information
When you insert a CD in your computer’s disc drive , iTunes finds the CD in the Gracenote media database on the Internet and displays the name and other track information for each song. If songs appear as “Track 01,” “Track 02,” and so on, either you aren’t connected to the Internet or iTunes can’t find the CD’s information.
If you’re not connected to the Internet, you can import the songs anyway, and look up the CD information the next time you’re connected.
Look up CD information in the Gracenote media database
Make sure you're connected to the Internet.
Click Options  near the top right of the iTunes window, and choose Get Track Names.
Select the entry for the CD.
If there's more than one entry, select one (a CD can have more than one entry if more than one person submitted information for the same CD to the Gracenote service); if it doesn't include the correct information, choose Get Track Names again, and choose another entry.
Send CD information to Gracenote
If the Gracenote service has no information about a CD, you can enter your own song information and submit it to Gracenote so other people can use the information. Don’t submit information for custom CDs that you created because others won’t be able to use it.
Make sure you're connected to the Internet.
Click the CD button  near the top left of the iTunes window.
Enter the song information.
Click Options  near the top right of the window and choose Submit CD Track Names.
Enter the artist and album information and click OK.

The URL won't come up when I load safari unless I enlarge the page to full screen. Help?

When I load safari and the screen comes up it doesnt show the URL. But when I enlarge to full screen then it shows it. I have no idea why it just went away I dont think I clicked anything. Help please.

Start simple. Check that your charger and cable are in good working order.
You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.
