You don't need an app. You need couple's counseling. I believe what you want to do may also be illegal in many jurisdictions.

HT4061 iphone does not recognise contacts

My iphone 4s does not recognise the contacts in my address book when the contact me. For example, when my son texts me, even though he is saved in my contacts, his name does not appear.
Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry, it always seems to work for me on any phone numbers sent to me.

I had to change my Apple ID and my phone does not recognise my new id.

I had to change my Apple ID since I've gotten my iphone 4s. My computer recognises my "new account" but my phone does not. This poses a problem when I have app updates and the password promt has my OLD apple id and not the new one. Anyone have any ideas with what can fix this? Thanks!!! =-)

No need to double post.
Again, as stated, apps are FOREVER tied to the AppleID under which they were purchased. If you change your AppleID, the apps purchased on the old AppleID will NOT work. If you want to keep your new AppleID, you will have to purchase all those apps again, or else you'll need to keep changing your AppleID on your phone back and forth.

My phone does not show contact names for country and area code while having in coming calls. Although, I have endorsed the name with numbers. How do I the problem. My one is a iphone 3s device with updated os. Please text to help

My iphone does not recognize saved contact number while having incoming calls due to country and area code as auto prefix. How do i fix the problem. How do i ensure that the phone recognize calls with and without the country and area code. Please text to help.

1) Open the Phone and dial *228. This is a Verizon over-the-air programming number.
2) When the system answer press 1 for "Program or activate your phone"
3) Wait for the call to disconnect. You should get a prompt stating something like, "Settings updated."
4) Open the Task Manager and kill the Phone, Message, and Contacts Applications
5) Wait a few minutes (I waited 3 just to be extra safe)
6) Open the Message App to verify the fix

Messaging Application does not recognise contact n...

Hi people, My phone is an E70 with 2.0618.07.10 (31-08-06) firmware. I updated it to this firmware via NSU. It had .07 firmware before.The Messaging app. had an annoying problem, which seems to be not fixed with the new firmware.
I set the Contacts app. to show names as "First name Last name". When I send a message, the Messaging app. shows my sent message's recipient correctly as "First Last", but when I receive a message, the sender is shown as "Last First".
I had seen in a forum that western european firmwares do not have this behaviour and set contact preferences correctly.
Does anyone have this problem? Also is there a possibility to explain the problem directly to Nokia sw. engineers bypassing support here in Turkey? (There are also Turkish language related problems in the firmware which should be corrected.)
Thanks

Hmm. Then if I enter the number manually, it will display the contact name wrong.
This is simply unacceptable. If I set my preference for Contacts (which is one of the primary functions for a phone, it keeps my contacts) the phone should set that for every application on the phone.
Nokia should make this a global setting, which is -looking from a programmer's view- very easy given the complexity of the operating system they managed to write.

N95 8GB My phone does not recognise some stored co...

Hi somebody please help ! When receiving a text message from some of my stored contacts, instead of their name being displayed at the top of message, only their number is displayed, preceded by +447. I have tried deleting & re-entering correctly but nothing works. A clue maybe is that the problem contacts have 'syncronisation : private' added to the contact information but I do not know how to remove it (only to change it to 'sync : public' or 'sync : none'). Could it be anything to do with PC Suite ? I 've loaded the new N95 version recently. C'mon all you gurus, put me out my misery !

Hi pj2008
Do you mean that you have re-entered a contact in international format (+44) and still get the same result when they call?

I downloaded os5 and now my phone does not recognise my 4 digit security code and I am locked out of my phone

Please help

Your not talking to apple here, we are users just like you. But if you have restored your phone from backup, then from new, and still not working, then make an appointment with an apple genius bar, let them check it and replace if needed.

I reside in India bought 4s while on holiday to USA. Phone unlocked but does not recognise sim. Probably phone to be replaced. I cannot go to USA for this. How do I resolve this

I reside in chennai India. Bought iPhone 4s while on holiday to USA from best buy. On return to chennai I have got it unlocked. But the phone does not recognise the sim. Contacted local apple service. They say phone to be replaced. I cannot go to USA for this and courier charges are very high. What do I do? Can I get it replaced in India? If so where and how? I could have bought the phone in India itself I just wanted a souvenir from USA. Is this the quality check they do there. Pl help

Best Buy does not sell unlocked iPhones.
Only the carrier to whom the device is locked can officially unlock it.
Getting the device unlocked anywhere else involves hacking/jailbreaking the device which voids the warranty and the user's right to support from these Apple forums.
Warranty and Support are only valid in the country of origin, in your case, the US.
Enjoy the paper weight.
I do believe your last sentence is deeply atrocious! You have no call to ridicule somebody who doesn't know these things. Sure, he has done something out of ignorance but, if ignorance is a crime and something to be a subject of ridicule, then God help us all!

I have a 16GB iPhone 3GS. Tried synching my phone through iTunes (11.0.1 I think... on a 2009 Macbook Pro). Now when I connect to iTunes, it says it does not recognise the content on my phone. Is this because my phone (and laptop) are too old?

Also, when I tried to Restore the settings, an Error Message pops up that says " The iPhone software update server could not be contacted. The requested resource was not found.
I'm trying to free up space on my phone by removing [literally] thousands of old photos which were originally synched to the phone, because I had forgotten to uncheck the photos button when I synched it ages ago.
I have also tried synching it on my 24" iMac (running OSX Snow Leopard). But again, when I try restoring the phone through itunes, it says the file is corrupted. It sggests unplugging the device, and then plugging it in again. I have done this numerous times with no success.
I'm guessing it must be because my phone (and versions of iTunes, and OSX) are all too old.
Please can anybody help.
Cheers,
