Searching by name for company contact

How can you find a contact by name when it has a company name ? Every contact with a company name does not display the first and last name

Maybe you should choose to have your address book program to display the contact with the person's name instead of the company that he/she works for. I use my Mac's address book and I know I have these choices on how to display my contacts. Maybe you have the same too?

  • IChat shows numbers instead of names for facebook contacts, how to fix?

    I just started using iChat for Facebook Chat, but it shows numbers instead of names for most of my contacts.
    Is there any workaround for this?
    Adium shows names just fine, but I want to use iChat instead.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    With AIM names there is an Option on the  AIM pages to change your Display name. (in your Account Settings)
    If you have an AIM Buddy list and stick in my Screen Name (ralphjohnsr) you will notice it displays as Ralph johns R with the Upper case letters and spaces.
    I am wondering if FaceBook have done something similar but not everyone has changed (or more likley Facebook are using the "wrong" list or haven't told anyone).
    The strange thing is only the two of you have mentioned it so far so there is probably some other explanation.
    On the Address Book Front I have added (level 4) to some Buddies that I happen to know via these Apple Forums (under the previous software there were only 5 Levels of posters) when we used to chat using iChat on a more regular basis.
    iChat does allow you to Create Nicknames in the Info Card but this Adds them to the Address Book.
    (it also has difficulty with lots of Nicknames that are the same such as Dave for David)
    It would interesting to know if Adium "Sees" the numbers instead of names. (Or ProteusX if anyone has it)

  • Can I use a brand name for Company name on the appstore?

    Hi!
    Is it possible (allowed) to use a brand name instead of a Company name on the appstore?
    We are a small IT company specializing in IT support. However, we have created a brand of iPhone apps for kids as well. We do not want our company name, which is well known and associated with something else in the IT world, to show up in the appstore. At least not as owner of the app (I guess app developer would be ok). Can we instead put in the "brand name" of our line of iPhone apps?
    The company signing the contract with Apple will still be our registered, legal entity. It is just the name above the app name on the Appstore we want to different.
    Thanks,
    /patrick

    Make up any company name you like, as long as you don't mislead, misrepresent and/or conflict with a copyright holder of record.

  • IMessage displays numbers instead of names for some contacts

    Hello All,
    I have googled this problem and searched these forums in attempt to fix this issue but to no avail just yet. To date I have tried:
    Switching off iMessage, performing a soft reboot, switching iMessage back on
    Same as above, but doing a hard reset instead
    Same as above with both of my iTunes email addresses (I had an old one I used before I upgraded to the iPhone 4)
    Adding +1 to my contact names
    Choose "add to existing contact" from iMessage and replacing the old number
    Turning off icloud, Removing all the contacts from my phone, and then turning iCloud back on
    Restoring system settings
    Nothing has worked and I get a mix of names or numbers in iMessage.
    It is severely annoying (1st world problems, right?) as I'm tour and communicate with many promoters via text (600 contacts and growing...).
    Does anyone have any other ideas?

  • Lost names for all contacts on Iphone

    Had my Iphone 4 connected to my mac today.
    Took a call, then looked through my phone and all the phone numbers have lost there contact name details. ***
    It seeems that the problem is releated to Sync as my contacts are located via microsoft outlook. But sync details are turned on and they are not syncing. Have backed up office 2011 and reinstalled fresh, and still not syncing is happening. So that would say that this is not an office related software issue.
    Anyone esle have this prob, or can recommend a plan of attack from here as I'm lost but to backup all and start from scratch.

    My contact list didn't transfer after the upgrade.  Tried everyones advice without success.  Finally discovered I had 11 emails from Apple wanting me to verify my user and email account.  When I answered the email, all of my contacts loaded flawlessly into my iPhone.  When attempting to restore, check your email for a message from Apple verifying your identity.

  • How Do I Manually Add A Skype Name To My Contacts?

    I have the Skype Names for several contacts and would like to add them manually. Seems silly that I can add all sorts of telephone numbers to their profile but not their Skype Name. Anyone know how I do it?

    Thanks for the answer, but that's not really what I was trying to accomplish. :-)
    I like my current homepage, which is not facebook.
    I found a workable solution, however... it's the "Custom Buttons" add on!
    The reason I was looking for a "redirect" solution, is because if you inadvertently click the "Home" or "News Feed" links on your facebook page... it will revert you to the NEW layout, which sucks!

  • Why if I have created a seperate icloud account for my daughter and I, do I still end up with all her contacts?  Also, numbers i have edited or changed?deleted pop up when searching by name to create a new message, WHY?

    Help!  I have created seperate icloud accounts for my kids devices and mine.  My daughters contacts and mine keep merging anyways.  If I turn contacts off and then back on on my phone in icloud, I get duplicates.  Now I have triplicates!!  I've double chcked that we are both logged in to our own accounts.  How do I stop this, its gonna be a lot of editing out duplicate/triplicate contacts in my list.  NOT HAPPY!!  Another problem....When I go to create a new message and search by name, all numbers, including those I have changed because the person got a new number, will show up.  Why is that happenning if I have deleted or changed them?  I end up not knowing what number to use.  It's extremely frustrating!!

    When you turn contacts to off in Settings>iCloud, you should be choosing Delete from My iPhone when prompted, as they will be synced back to your phone when your turn contacts back to on.  If you are choosing Keep on My iPhone, turning contacts back to on in Settings>iCloud, then choosing Merge when prompted, you are merging a second (or third) copy of your contacts with your account each time you do.
    The autocomplete suggestions you get when you create a new message, compose a text message, or perform a spotlight search, are stored in cache memory.  Once in cache memory, it remains on the device even if the corresponding contact is later deleted.  Unfortunately, at the present time, the only way to flush this cashe is to restore your device as a new iPhone without using your backup.  Perhaps this will change in a future iOS release.

  • Highly frustrated with Outlook 2013 Search People box bugs - Multiple Name Results for Same Contact & Inconsistent Results

    The Outlook 2013 "Search People" box does not function properly. It frequently displays incorrect results or a mess of duplicate results. I've reported previous issues about this and consolidating my posts into one (with screenshots this
    time). Hopefully this message will be forwarded to or seen by the Outlook programmers. It really needs to be fixed.
    Outlook 2010 and other prior versions worked perfectly. You search for name, you get ONE result with the info you're looking for. FAST AND EASY. But with Outlook 2013 Microsoft has created a heck of a mess resulting in huge frustration and productivity loss
    with such simple but important tasks.
    I have hundreds of contacts stored in my Outlook address book, and they all have COMPLETE contact info added. 
    One major issue that I'm experiencing in the new Outlook 2013 is that I now get average of 4 or more duplicate name results appearing for the same contact. And each result contains different and incomplete contact info, making it impossible for me to quickly
    find the basic info I'm looking for. The cause of this issue is that Outlook 2013 now provides results from not only your local address book(s), but it also shows results based  on your email history and social media accounts setup.
    And there's no way to turn this off, or at least specify what folders and/or accounts the People Search box should use.
    To make matters worse, the Microsoft developers conveniently forgot to add some form of an indicator (like a small icon besides each name result in the list)  that clearly indicates what result is from what source. So you must manually click on each
    result one at a time and repeat the search until you locate the correct one.
    For one specific example, I have a contact stored in my local address book called
    Infusionsoft. When I type "Infusionsoft" in the People Search box to quickly find a phone number, Outlook  2013 shows me 7 results with the same name. See the screenshot below:
    As you can see in the screenshot above, every result just says "Infusionsoft", so I have to manually click on each name result one at a time and repeat the process until I find the correct one from my address book. This same thing happens with other
    random contacts.
    From what I can tell, Outlook is pulling results based on  based on recent emails I've received from different people with "@infusionsoft.com" in their email address. So the first result shows "[email protected]" (just the email
    address), the second result shows "[email protected]", the third result shows "[email protected]" and so forth. I don't want Outlook to show all of that. I just want what's in my address book!
    And you would think that the last result would be the correct one from my address book, but no. Sometimes its the 5th result, and other times it's the 3rd or 7th result. So there's no freaking order of things here.
    We simply need the ability to turn off searching of email history and other accounts when using the People Search box. Problem fixed.
    (And please don't tell me that I need to "link" every incorrect result to one main contact. You shouldn't expect everyone to have to tediously link any and all results that appear to a record. ESPECIALLY when 5+ results for each contact appear regularly.)
    ISSUE 2: Some names must be typed in a different way for the Search People to locate them
    Another big issue I'm having with the Search People box is that some name searches don’t show the correct result, unless I search for their names in a different way.
    For one specific example, I have a contact stored in my address book named "Dave Johnson". When I type "Dave Johnson" in the Search People box, one result appears, but it's just his email address, only. It's not the result that's stored in my Outlook address
    book with his phone number, addresses, etc. Screen shot below:
    If I type in Dave's name reverse order (Johnson Dave),  no results are found at all.
    Now if I just type in just"Johnson" all by itself, it finds Dave's correct result (the one stored in my Outlook Address Book). Along with everybody else that has "Johnson" in their name (see screenshot below)...
    I double-checked how I have Dave's name programed in my address book, and it's in there as "Dave Johnson" for both the Full Name and File As fields. 
    Also, the name order shouldn't make any difference when using the People Search Box anyway. Sometimes I can find people by Last Name, First Name or First Name, Last Name. Only with random contacts does it get difficult finding  their info and
    I have to do strange things like this to find them from the People Search box.
    ISSUE 3: Some Search People results only yield an email address only.
    For other random contacts, some search results only yield an email address with no other contact details. But I can open the persons contact card from the address book manually, with the same email address shown! Screenshot below...
    In the screenshot above, I have outlined the Search People box results in red, and the Address Book results in green. You can clearly see that "Robert White" is a contact stored in my local address book with full contact details, but the Search People result
    only shows his email address! Again, it's not consitent. It's hit or miss with different people.
    ISSUE 4: Some results just don't appear at all, but they are in the address book
    Another issue I'm experiencing with the People Search Box is that some people simply  cannot be found. But I can see their contact info just fine if I click on the "People" tab down at the bottom of the page and type in their name in the "Search Contacts"
    field. Why can't the People Search box find certain people? I opened up their contact details and cannot find a single thing  that would prevent them from showing up in results.
    These are clearly serious bugs that need to be fixed. And I'm shocked as to how this got missed--or ignored during alpha and beta testing. I see the "idea" behind the developers having the Search People box search everything outside of the
    address book, but in real world application this causes a heck of a lot of problems & confusion, and it needs to be fixed ASAP.
    For technical details, I have Outlook 2013 running on two computers using hosted Exchange 2010. One system is Windows 7 and other is Windows 8. The same problems occur on BOTH computers. As far as my Outlook account setup, I have all contacts stored in the
    main address book (no sub-folders or other folders).
    Can someone help communicate this message to the Outlook developers??? The "Frown" button limits me to 100 characters and one image. There's no way I can communicate this level of detail and steps to duplicate in 100 characters!

    Thanks for your reply.
    1) The instant search boxes in each individual page work just fine. If I am on the People page and type in a name in the "Search Contacts" field, it searches my contacts and displays the results that I want. But I should not have to leave whatever screen
    I'm in to find people now. In Outlook 2010 and earlier versions, I could be on the calendar page and then search for a contact without clicking off the calendar completely. For productivity-sake, it's a huge waste of time and hassle now.
    2) I'm familiar with how contact linking works, and quite frankly it's a huge mess in general. I NEVER create multiple contacts for the same person. I get that Outlook 2013 get confused now when it detects a LinkedIn or Facebook account for the same person
    already in my Outlook address book, but we need to have options that allow us to turn off results from some or all social networks. This is a big part of the problem.
    Think about it this way - The average person has 150+ LinkedIn connections, and more for Facebook. Many people today have accounts for both and they are setup with the same email address. When Outlook 2013 has to scan all the networks IN ADDITION to your
    local address book(s), it's a no brainer that it can get very confused trying to display results.
    Another big part of the problem is that Outlooks new search system also scans your email history. I receive emails from people who use multiple email addresses, or emails from companies with multiple reps or ticket systems that send you a unique
    ticket ID # ending in the same email address domain. Now Outlook displays people search results based on everything under the sun in my email history. This is beyond frustrating (see my "Infusionsoft" screenshot above in the first post).
    Again, I want to stress that for the search examples I referenced, I only have one entry in my Outlook address book for each person. And that's all I want to find when I search for people--what's already in my own address book! 
    In summary:
    We need an OPTION to turn off searching external networks when using the People Search box
    We need an option to tell Outlook to not scan email history for people search results (I think this needs to be disabled entirely actually. It's not helpful at all)
    There should be a fixed priority for displaying people search results, with local address book results FIRST, followed by social network results.
    There should be a clear icon/indicator next to each result that gives you a clue as to where the result is coming from. Your address book? Facebook? LinkedIn? We should not need to click on each result to get a hint as to where it's coming from.
    Work out the bugs in general with the new search system.
    One other thing that I didn't mention is that the Search People box also shows results for people I'm not even "friends" or connected with on the different social networks. But I've noticed that some people use the same email address for those networks that
    I already have programmed for them in my address book, which is why Outlook sometimes shows me these results. Does that make sense?
    I'll try rebuilding the index, but after testing Outlook 2013 on 3 different machines so far and seeing the same results (all slightly different results on each machine and very inconsistent), I doubt this will address the issue.

  • Searching Vietnamese Name in Contact List

    Hi,
    I've just used BB10 (10.3.0.x) for Q10) for a week, and I have an issue about Searching Vietnamese Name in Contact List:
    In BBOS, if I wanna search Vietnamese Name (ex: Đoàn), I just type "Doan"
    But in BB10, I must type proper Vietnamese Name (ex: "Đoàn", not "Doan") to get the correct result.
    Could you please show me how to fix this issue ?
    Thanks and Best Regards.

  • Hello! Ever since I upgraded my iPhone 5s to IOS 7.1, I am unable to access the iPhone Keyboard if I access contacts the recent calls tab. I am also unable to access the keyboard if I want to search for a contact as long as I went through the recent calls

    Hello! Ever since I upgraded my iPhone 5s to IOS 7.1, I am unable to access the iPhone Keyboard if I access contacts using the recent calls tab. I am also unable to access the keyboard if I want to search for a contact as long as I went through the recent calls tab. Has anyone a fix for this problem? If you want to try it out, do the following?
    Dial a number from your iPhone Keypad. After cutting the call, try to save the number you just dialled to your contacts by choosing the new contact option. You will see that you will not be able to key in the name of your new contact.

    Works fine for me.
    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • Can't Search Company Contacts on Exchange

    When I first set up my exchange account, I was able to search the company contacts without isssue (go to contacts>groups>search). However, lately, this has not been working. This was a useful feature and I would like to get it working again.
    I have done both hard and soft resets. However, still not working. Each search I do ends in the same result - a message indicating that the search failed.
    Any thoughts would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I have been having the exact same issues with my mail. Today I went into Mail > Preferences > Accounts
    Click on "Edit Server list" under the Outgoing Mail Server
    Click Advanced
    Change the Autentication type (mine was set as NTLM)
    By switching to "password" and using: exchange server/user name and my exchange password I got the outbound mail to work.
    Hope this helps

  • N73 - trouble with search function for the contact...

    Hi, i just bought a N73 series phone. i noticed that N73 search function for the contact list is different from others standard. Normally, it should show the 1st contact of the 1st letter that i pressed instead of the contact contains the letter. I found difficulties to look for the contact unless i press 3 or 4 letters. is there any setting can be changed to order search function only search the contacts with the 1st letter that i pressed instead of the letter in middle of the contact?
    For example:
    ang on
    office
    when i pressed "o", the contact will search for "ang on" instead of "office" unless i press few more letters like "off".
    hope to get some help from you guys.

    I found the same problem as this with all my S60 3rd edition phones, what I have done is in my contacts put a hyphen (-)in between the name - i.e Joe Blogs would come us under searches for J & B, so try putting Joe-Bloggs, this way, the search will only come up with all the J's in your phone book directory.
    Hope this helps, DLJ
