Phone numbers not recognised (sms & incoming)

After a momunmental mobile me sync disaster (it somehow trippled every contact), I had to wipe mobile me (and subsequently all conatcs on my phone) and restore it from a back up. Activating one device at a time and replacing info on device with new data on mobile me.
When I did this with the iPhone, the contacts were restored, but all messages recieved from my contacts appear as phone numbers not names, so I have no idea who sent them. Also, half of incoming calls have the same problem, not using contact info - just the number. Have backed up & resotred my phone (from said backup) and issue continues.
Any idaes on how to resolve?

I already have most recent update 4.3.3

I backed up my iphone 4 and did an upgrade and changed my Apple ID and password but my phone has not recognised the new ID to upgrade my apps via the iphone.

I backed up my iphone 4 and did an upgrade and changed my Apple ID and password but my phone has not recognised the new ID to upgrade my apps via the iphone. How do I get rid of the old Apple ID when it comes to upgrading apps.
I have been into setting>store and signed out and signed back in and it still asks for old ID and password.

Everything you've had up to now has been tied to your old Apple ID. You cannot switch it over to a new Apple ID. You should contact iTunes support to help you with this:

While updating the software from 6.1.3 to 6.1.4 on iPhone 5, the power failed. iTunes had just finished the backup and was beginning the software update. Now the phone screen says to connect to iTunes but the phone is not recognised when plugged in.

While updating the iPhone 5 software from 6.1.3 to 6.1.4, the power failed. iTunes had just finished the backup and was beginning the software update. Now the phone screen says to connect to iTunes but the phone is not recognised when plugged in. Using Windows 7 and phone not recognised by computer, let alone by iTunes.
Any suggestions? Happy to take it off to the the Apple genius people but would prefer to get it running myself.

My i4s phone does not ring on incoming calls. The settings appear to be correct

My i4s phone does not ring on incoming calls. The settings appear to be correct for the phone to ring.
Also, during a call, when I hit the speaker buttom, I can neither hear nor be heard by the other party
Any suggestions?

Try a factory restore, this might be a software problem so just plug into itunes and go and click the restore button. If this doesnt fix it then its a hardware problem meaning you need to head to an apple store for a replacement.

phone does not ring during incomming call

Is the phone silenced? Check the button on the side of the phone above the volume buttons if you see an orange line it is silienced, slide it to the front of the phone and it should correct this. Also ensure the volume is up. If you've checked these and still nothing are you able to call people? do you have service?

I have installed a ringtone but phone does not ring on incoming calls

I Have an Iphone 4S, it came with vibration set as default ringtone, I changed the ringtone but the phone does not ring on incoming calls, What is wrong?

Also, you may want to do a reboot, hold both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if it appers, so that everything is reset.

Is there a way for my MMS message phone numbers not seen by whole group even after turning off group messaging?

I send messages to a group of people but they are all able to see each other's phone numbers and they can't tell who is sending the message because on their iphone all the numbers appear and I have turned off group messaging. Is ther a way to prevent that from happening?

I am simply lookig for some help not an argument. I am not an RF specialist however have setup a few wireless networks in my tenure at Wynn Resorts. I fully agree that wireless networking is an art and a science however the powers that be in Network Land have toughted wireless networking is the easiest and quickest way to get two computers to talk with one another. As I previously said I have already turned one (1) MBP in for this problem and Apple decided to replace it because they could not fix the problem with my particular MBP. This MBP was running Leopard when the problems started
I am having a hard time believeing that there are several other devicces in my home that depend on a wireless network to operate and my MBP is the only one having an issue. I took this a step further and decided to see what would happen if I tried to connect wirelessly via Fusion. In Windows 7 I am able to print and scan to my hearts content without any issues. I am able to browse the internet as much as I want. I close Fusion and try to connect to my printer via wireless and nothing.
In order to get Apple to help do I need to get a Network Analyzer and capture packets when I have these problems? Out of the 1000 + posts is there a consolidation of which answer is the best? BTW I am accessing the internet via a wireless connection using Fusion and Windows 7.
In response to Linc's comments, I will look at the router specifications however I did not qualify that these devices are not using the wireless connection at the same time. Right now I would guess there are maybe two (2) or three (3) at the most that are actively transmitting / receiving information. -- Thanks

I-phone device not recognised in i-tunes, but is on windows. All Apple support advice does not resolve problem

My i-phone 3GS with latest operating system is not recognised in i-tunes, howver windows XP does see the device. I have tried all Apple support reccomendations to no avail. There was an error message when last syncing the device with i-tunes, I have uninstalled / re-installed etc and the device is recognised on other PC's i-tunes?

I have the same problem too. My phone wont show on my pc that's why I can't move my photos. But it does show on itunes.
Then I went to device manager and this is what I found. I dont know what to do though.

Phone numbers not appearing correctly in Messages

I love the new feature that allows you to reply to anyone in Messages, not just users with iOS devices.
However it doesn't seem to be bringing up my saved contacts correctly. On my iPhone I will receive the message with their name as it is saved in my contacts, where as on my Mac it comes up as just their number. One year ago I moved from the UK to the US, and although I bought my Mac in the US, when I go to reply to the number on my Mac, it is adding +44 in front of it, so obviously these messages are not going through (or if they are they're going to the wrong person!)
Is there a way around this? To set my Messages up to be default to +1, so therefore the numbers come up correctly as they do on my iPhone??
Thanks,
Mark

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.

Phone numbers not properly formatted

I just upgraded to the 4S and most of my phone numbers can't be dialed by SIRI because they are not properly formatted. The numbers that can be dialed are of the form +1-617-nnn-nnnn. The numbers that cannot be dialed are of the form nnnnnnnnnn. I have hundreds of numbers in this format. Any ideas?

Have you tried Settings > General > International to make sure your phone is not set to some incorrect region which might give it trouble interpreting the numbers?

'other' phone numbers not synchronised from outloo...

when synchronising contacts in outlook, phone numbers that appear under the category 'others' as oppose to business, or mobile are not synchronised. they show up in outlook, but not on the phone!
is it possible to either:
a) synchronise these
b) automaticaly change the number type to another,
c) solve this problem in another way?
the contacts were all synchronised from an earlier phone, where they show up as normal....

I saw that post and i had to reply for it.
A little-great-working solution for that is to run those 3 lines (one line at a time) on powershell and all the "Other" lable contacts will change to "Mobile" label and here you go, like a magic - all contacts phone numbers are now visible on the phone again.
(Drop the 1. 2. 3. from the lines of course)
Hope i helped someone
1.     $outlook = new-object -com outlook.application
2.     $contacts = $outlook.Session.GetDefaultFolder(10)
3.     $contacts.Items | % { if($_.MobileTelephoneNumber -eq "") { $_.MobileTelephoneNumber = $_.OtherTelephoneNumber; $_.OtherTelephoneNumber = ""; $_.save() } }

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.
