I got an sms message from a new number so i saved it from there to my address book on the iPhone 3GS. I'm slightly confused now as I have the contact named in my messaging app but the contact is now showing up in the address book? Can someone explain to me why this is the case?? Thanks

How can I Remove Recent Contacts from Messages App?
iOS 7 had a feature I could use (found here: http://www.tekrevue.com/tip/remove-recent-contacts-iphone-messages/) that would allow me to remove recent contacts from iMessage via an info tab. I used the feature to fix iMessage vs SMS issues with contacts who switch from android to iPhone or vice versa. I've since not been able to find the feature after updating to iOS 8. Does anyone know where this message option went?
My issue is I cannot see the "circle I" info button for individual contacts, only for group messages or recently deleted contacts, the latter which changes the phone number to "other." I should have made that clear. I was once able to delete recent "saved-in-contacts" contacts using this remove from recents feature in order to restore or deactivate iMessage with that contact.

Not with Aperture. You'll need an image editor like Photoshop, Acorn, Pixelmator ect

Transfer contacts from Motorola Razr to iPhone - or - Mac Address Book
Got the iPhone a few hours ago and have talked to Support at Apple, AT&T and Motorola. Yikes! No one can get mea straight answer. I'd like to transfer to 150 phone numbers in my old Razr phone to my Mac Address book or straight to my new iPhone. Let's just say it has been a very frustrating afternoon. Can anyone help resolve this dilemma?
It looks like my phone is mentioned as compatible with iSynch, but I don't know what that means. When I the Mac Bluetooth discovers the phone device, it creates folders for audio, pictures and video. That's pretty much it.
I switched to Mac about 6 weeks ago so I'm still not up to speed with a lot of this stuff.
Any other thoughts? Thanks for your comments. -
My young kids have ipads and since I updated the software, but they have their own icloud account, predictive text within their messages shows all my contacts from my iphone but the contacts are not listed as their contacts, how do I stop this?
I have deleted the iCloud account under my name on their iPads and replaced with their ones. Apple support said yesterday I needed to click the small 'I' by each name as it came up in the TO box and remove it. After doing rid for each contact under each letter of the alphabet it should remove them from latest contacts. Having done this, although I could not remove groups I had sent, I am not convinced they will not return once I have written a few texts, any ideas?

My message app is not showing the contact names
My Iphone 4 message app isn't showing the contact's names ! It came out of the blue, i didn't turn it off or anything, and the contacts are still in the phone, but all I can see in the Message app are the numbers ?
What can I do ? (did turn it off just but it didn't work)
Thanks !!!Check contacts, and then 'groups' in the upper left corner and make sure everything in there is check marked.
If they still don't appear, you can try to re sync the contacts from the source (iCloud, gmail, etc.) by going into your settings and toggling contacts off and back on.
Hope this helps! -

I saved images from an imessage. Now when I open Imessage, the pictures are displayed on the screen. When I click on "done" the images do not go away.
Therefore, I cannot send a message.Quit the app completely and try again. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Or try this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. -
Is there a way to hide apps from the app store?
I don't want my kids to see those "free" apps that nag you to spend real money and download their other apps!
I can hide them from "purchased apps", but they still show up when browsing for new apps!
Is there a way to hide them so that my kids will never see them when looking for new apps?Not other than parental oversight. On the computer you can implement Parental Controls on a separate user account that they would use. You can then block certain websites. But you cannot do that on the iPad.
You could change your iTunes account such that they cannot access it in order to buy or download apps. -
I am trying to export photos and keep receiving an error message. I tried relocating my catalog to see if that would help since I am saving to an external drive, but now I can't find my catalog at all either. I am a newbie at this and don't know what I'm doing wrong or if I can even use an external drive for my photos and catalogs (I did enable smart previews so I do know how to do that part). Help!
You can use an external drive with LR but I recommend only using it for
image file storage while keeping your catalog on your internal HD for
performance. If you moved files outside of LR (Finder or Explorer) you will
have to clue LR in on where they are now. Use the left-hand folder panel in
Library mode to navigate to the location on your external drive and use the
find photo option get LR to reconnect them. If you moved the catalog and
now LR can't find it you should get a window allowing you to select a new
one where you can navigate to the new location and select it. You can also
just start LR by clicking on the Lightroom 5 catalog.lrcat file to open it
and start LR. -

have downloaded several apps but now receive message "cannot connect to itunes store" help
Sometimes all it takes is a restart of the iPad and a reboot of your router as Fred already stated and you may be able to connect again.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Can't Connect to iTunes Store -
Sync existing contacts from Adressbook.app with iPhone fails
Hi!
Syncing works as advertised between my Mac, .Mac, Addressbook.app and my iPhone for ALL NEW CONTACTS, no matter where they are created (iPhone or Mac).
However ... if I choose to sync an old contact from Adressbook.app with iPhone the sync process in iTunes will always stall!
My setup, looks like this:
I sync a dedicated group of Addressbook.app with iPhone. Whenever I choose to add an old, existing contact from my Addressbook database to this group the next sync and all ongoing syncs will quit unexpectedly. iTunes will show a message telling me that iPhone disconnected.
The only way to cure this behavior I have come across is to manually
* enter a new contact with the existing data in Addressbook.app and adding it to my iPhone group
* delete the existing contact in Addressbook.app
* sync via iTunes
This is VERY annoying and tedious.
Anyone with a solution besides resetting sync history in iSync? This doesn't seem to help.
ThanksHi Shady!
I don't think that clearing the sync history is the only cure to this problem. At least it does not help for me. I believe that the problem with contact syncing is not monocausal, hence the cure with the sync history won't heal the manifold of root causes.
My situation is as follows:
What works great when syncing back and forth between the iPhone and the addressbook.app
. *Adding new* contacts or updating contacts +on the iPhone+
. *Editing or updating existing* contacts +on the iPhone+
. *Adding new* contacts +in addressbook.app+
What does not work at all:
. Choosing any existing (created before using or syncing with iPhone) contact and sync it with the iPhone
I sync only a certain group in addressbook.app, not all contacts.
The only way to cure this problem for me so far: Adding a new contact on iPhone or addressbook.app, which is a pain given that all the contact data is already present.
Interesting enough this was not a problem from the beginning. During the first couple weeks or months I could choose any of my "old" contacts and grow that group as I saw fit and everything worked flawlessly...
Very disappointing... -
After an erroneous contacts delete on the mac, they've been removed from iCloud and all the synced devices.
I was able to restore the contacts from a backup, but since the iCloud version is newer than the backuped one, they are deleted every iCloud sync.
Now I have an iPhone with the contacts and iCloud deactivated, but I lost all the contacts on the Mac and the iPad.
There is a way to tell iCloud "restart using the contacts I have on this device"?An iCloud backup will save the state of your Camera Roll at the time of the backup but, if you delete photos from the Camera Roll, they will not be in the next backup taken.
If you are using the iCloud Photo Library (beta) read this FAQ which will tell you what happens when you delete photos from one of the devices sharing the Photo Library.
iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
The relevant section is:
How does iCloud delete photos and videos from iCloud Photo Library?
Deleting a photo or video from your Photos app will also remove the item from iCloud Photo Library and from your iCloud storage allocation. Photos and videos you remove can be recovered from the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. After 30 days, your content will be removed from the Recently Deleted album. Photos are backed up on our servers for up to 30 days after they're deleted from the Photos app. If you need to recover these photos during that time, contact Apple Support. -
I just bought my macbook pro and it's charged up to 100% and is still plugged in but now shows the battery at 98%. How is this possible when it's plugged in to the charger and the green light is on?
The system regularly lets the battery drop to about 95% when on the charger, then recharges to 100%. This lets the batery exercise "just a little" all of the time and saves the recharge curcuits from overuse.
Regualr occurence for me.
Also ... you need to let your battery work at least once per month. Let it run down to 40%, but not less if you can at all avoid it. Running thr battery fully dead will shorten the battery life significantly.
