Names not appearing with contacts on iPhone 4 after adding iPad Mini

Yesterday we added my daughter's iPad Mini to my account, synced it up in iTunes and used the cloud.  She deleted a bunch of my contacts from her iPad.  Now they are not in my contact list on my phone.  However, if I start to type a text I see their names but when I select the name and start typing, the name disappears and I only see their number.  Also, if I look at my list of recent texts the names that sent them are all gone and just their numbers appear.  Does anyone know how I can reconnect the names with the numbers and also restore my contact list?  Thank you in advance!

Well I answered my own question.  I just deactivated all the other accounts on my iPhone except iCloud, and all the duplicates disappeared.  Before I did this, I merged duplciate cards on the MacBook Pro (from the Contacts Card menu selection).  iCloud needs to be selected as the default account on all your devices, and it seems that other accounts need to be deactivated.  Be careful - deactivating an account also erases entries associated with only that account.

  • Contact names not showing with incoming calls!!!

    Hi all,
    I just got my E71-1 yesterday and upgraded from a very effiecient E61i....everything was going smooth until all of a sudden, contact names stopped appearing with incoming calls and SMS's.
    I went through the forums searching for a solutions and apparently alot of people experienced the same thing.....except in my case, I do not have any duplicate names or numbers!!!!
    Any ideas what could solve this???

    There is a fix for it but you won't like it. I have tried it a few times and it always works but it involves a lot of work. This is what you do.
    1. Make a backup of nothing else but your contacts only.
    2. Delete all your contacts from both phone and sim card.
    3. Start by entering the troublesome contacts from scratch making sure not to duplicate any numbers.
    4. Now get those people to ring you to make sure that your CLI is working fine.
    5. If it works then start entering the rest of the numbers, once again making sure there is no duplication whatsoever.
    6. If it doesn't work, just restore the backup you made of your contacts.
    I am fairly sure it will work, but just in case it doesn't you can always restore your backup and you are back to square one. 

  • Why does my iphone 3gs not sync with contacts?

    why does my iphone 3gs not sync with contacts?  In fact it loses contacts during syncing.
    In Itunes it is set to automatically sync to the laptop and in info sync contacts is checked and all contacts are checked.

    On my Mac Pro, contacts and Thunderbird contacts are synced.  I want my Iphone to sync with the Contacts on the Mac Pro.  Incidently I am not using Icloud.  Is that the problem?

  • Device not listed in find my iphone after updating my apple id password

    how to track my iphone5 that is already lost and when i sign in icloud my lost device is not listed in find my iphone after updating my apple id password. i also enabled icloud and imessage and facetime in that iphone using my current apple id that i used in icloud. pls help me

    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then  on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

  • AIrplay icon does not appear with Apple TV and MacBook Air on the same Wi-Fi

    Hi, I've just purchased a Macbook Air and have been trying to get Air Play to function with my Apple TV (1080p HD) on the same Wi-Fi net work (at home).
    Althought both systems are up todate in software, share the same network and switched on, there is no Air Play icon availlable to share the screen on the Apple TV.
    Has anyone experieinced a similar porblem and know how to initiat a connection?
    Thanks,
    Kim Johnson

    I am now using Air Parrot on a trial basis and it seems to work fine. One flaw that I haven't figured out yet is that it doesn't fill the entire TV screen. I still think Mac should include a simple AP like Air Parrot in its latest OSX system for older Macs (and mine is not that old - 2010).
    Do you know why I cannot properly sync my Iphone to my MacBook ever since I upgraded to Mountain Lion? Certain events on my MacBook Calendar do not show up on my IPhone after syncing.
    I do not use ICloud. I just plug my IPhone in to the MacBook as I've always done. If I made changes/additions to the Iphone in contacts or calendar, they show up on the MacBook. Same thing vice versa. If i make changes/additions to contacts or calendar on the MacBook, they show up on the IPhone. In two words, "they synced!".
    This no longer seems to happen. Do you know why?

    Looking forward to hearing from somebody with a littlemore expertise than me, Chris

    you can remove preferences files by navigating to the Preferences folder for your user as follows:
    0) Quit ALL iWork apps (Keynote, Pages and Numbers)
    1) from the Finder select the menu item "Go > Go To Folder…".  This will bring up a dialog:
    2) enter the path "~/Library/Preferences" (no double quotes)
    3) find the files:
    com.apple.iWork.Keynote.plist
    com.apple.iWork.Numbers.plist
    com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
    and move these to the trash.  I would NOT empty until later.
    4) restart Numbers

    Also make sure you are using the same iCloud account on your PC and your iPhone.  Go to Settings/iCloud on your iPhone and check the account email address.  Then check the iCloud account on your PC.  If you have a Windows PC, click on the iCloud icon in your system tray to see what icloud email account you are logged into.
    I changed the email on my iPhone and. iPad, but forgot to change the email on my PC and my calendars wouldn't sync.  It finally dawned on me that I forgot to change the account on my PC.

  • Lightroom 5 file edited in photoshop cc 2014 does not appear back next to original after save. Is anyone else having this issue? If so what is the fix.  The edited image appears back in lightroom in a new folder.

    Lightroom 5 file edited in photoshop cc 2014 does not appear back next to original after save. Is anyone else having this issue? If so what is the fix.  The edited image appears back in lightroom in a new folder.

    I'm performing a normal "Save", not "Save As". Work flow I'm using is as follows:  Select photo in Lightroom 5.7 >" Edit In" Photoshop CC 2014 > (after working on photo is PS) > Save > close PS. Photo returns to Lightroom 5.7 in a new folder rather than next to the original. Prior to purchasing the monthly plan and upgrading to PS CC 2014, I performed this same work flow using Lightroom 5.6 and Photoshop CS6 without any issues.
    Just for fun... I attempted to move the edited file back into the original folder. I received a prompt that said the file already existed in the original folder, however I can't see it except the new folder that LR created. I tried several different sort orders, etc without any success.
    *** Follow up: Was unable to resolve the issue using Photoshop CC 2014. Uninstalled PS CC 2014 and went back to using Photoshop CS6. Return trips from LR 5.7 to Photoshop is now performing as it should: returning edited photo back to the original folder in LR 5 and placing next to the original image.
    Should anyone have a suggestion on getting Photoshop CC 2014 to do the same, I would love to be educated.
    Thanks for the help, dj_paige.

  • My N73 not working with ovi or pcsuite after i upd...

    My N73 not connecting with my windows vista after an updated my old software with the nokia software update. i have tried resetting mu phone and unistalling the pc suite and ovi and installing them back but no use... i hav no idea what to do. the mass storage option works fine  but the computer just dont recognosie the phone when in pc suite mode... i am using windows vista home basic.....before the update the applications were working fine .....
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi, Nokia N73 is compatible with Nokia Ovi Suite. I would recommend following:
    - uninstall all existing Nokia PC SW (Nokia PC Suite, Nokia Connectivity Cable Drivers, Nokia Ovi Suite, Nokia Software Updater) from your PC
    - Check, that you have enough free disk space and free memory in your PC. Error message shown in your screenshot seems to be related to Windows operating system problem, not having enough free resources to complete the installation of drivers needed for your device
    - Reboot your PC
    - Download Nokia Ovi Suite from our web pages
    - Install Nokia Ovi Suite
    - Start Nokia Ovi Suite and connect your device using USB cable to your PC
    - If that doesn't help, try connecting your device using Bluetooth to your PC
    Cheers, Samuli

    calendars are not syncing with my new iphone 5s. Just ran the diagnostics and all systems checked ok

    Hello jricks8
    Check and see what calendar it is being added to. You may see it something that is local to the iPhone or another sync service that is not setup on your computer. Check out the page below to find out more information to sort you out.

    how to fix error charging is not supported with this accessory (iphone 3gs)?

    This can mean there is some dirt, lint, or foreign material in the iPhone's dock connector port and it doesn't take much, or the dock connector port has damage with the pins or there is some moisture damage.
