Text just showing number not name of sender

When receiving text only receive number not name of person texting

Do you have the person's name in your contacts?  For the name to show, the person's name and phone number need to be in your contacts.

  • My text messages show number not contact name

    Does anyone have any hints on how to fix?

    Is the person texting you in your Cntacts list? If not you'll only see the number.
    If they are in your Contacts, check their contact to make sure the number they are texting you from is listed in their contact.

    Try this...
    have a text convo with the person you want to delete. Go to the top contact in the text convo, hit edit contact, and delete that contact.
    That resolution came from another thread on this issue, and this did solve to poster's issue.

  • My phone will not text just one number. How do I fix it? Help, please!

    I cannot text one single number. I receive his texts, but cannot send out. I have tried everything I have come upon. Verizon was unable to help me in the store, they were boggled as to what it could be. I turned iMessage off, reset, turned it back on. Deleted the contact. Switched the number and texted the individual number. We can call back and forth, no problem. Any info would be helpful, since nothing else is working.

    Maybe the issue is with the other person, since you can text everyone else.

  • How can I email a photo from ipad2 via 3G?  It just shows turning gear and says sending, but doesn't go.  Also, am I not able to use face mail via 3G?

    How can I email a photo from ipad2 via 3G?  When try, only see spinning gear and it says sending, but it never goes.  Also, can facetime be used via 3G?

    It is on the man. page 45

    Correct, as I earlier intimated.  It is to stop you from burning through your 3G data limit.
    It won't since it only works on Wifi.

  • IMessage waiting for activation. Phone number not listed in Send and Receive at?

    I'm going to try to be as descriptive as possible, as I'm not too sure what else I can possibly do to resolve this issue.
    3 or 4 days ago I requested a number change through my provider. Not knowing that I had to turn off iMessage whilst waiting for the change to occur, I left it on.
    Later that day my friends were complaining that I was sending them texts from two different numbers, one being my new number, one being my old number. The thing is, I'm using the exact same SIM card and it's a little unusual to have two numbers for one SIM. I then realised that iMessage is ONLY registering my iTunes e-mail address and OLD phone number as an option to 'Send and Receive at'. I have spoken to Optus (my provider in Aust.) and Apple, I have gone into an Apple store, had the phone replaced, restored newtwork settings, restored phone altogether, turned on/off iMessage and Facetime, checked date and time, made sure my correct number is listed in Settings > Phone, etc etc etc I've done EVERYTHING listed in all forums that I've read from people experiencing this same issue.
    I can choose to select my old phone number in iMessage, and can then send messages to others using iMessage from the old number, and if I switch it off, I'm then using SMS to send messages, and it's from my new number again! It's very frustrating not having all features on my phone working correctly.
    If I switch iMessages and Facetime on, not using my Apple ID to sign in, it simply says 'waiting for activation' and after a few hours, tells me it was unsucessful and to try again. I'm all out of options now, Optus don't know what to do, Apple don't know what to do and I don't know what else to do! It's been 4 days! Someone please help!?

    Just thought I'd let everybody know how it finally got resolved 1 week later!
    After trying absolutely everything, and I mean EVERYTHING that Apple support, apple forums etc told me to do, the only thing that worked was turning iMessage off, waiting for at least 24 hours at then turning iMessage back on.
    It activated itself within a few minutes, no dramas at all!
    Hope this helps!

  • Hotspot text compiles showing code, not a working link

    Help would be very appreciated; sorry for not being able to find this in the Adobe site or Grainge..
    Everytime I open my webhelp project, the hotspot text shows code instead of remaining as a hotspot; this is true if the hotspot is in a table or outside table.  I have to keep rebuilding my hotspot text almost everwhere >>> not everywhere <<<<< in my word doc.
    Everytime I open the file, the word doc does not keep the hotspot as a hotspot, shows the code, or the compiled version shows a green instead of blue color, and on top of all this, everytime I open the hpj file I cannot get the toolbar to display properly; all the Robohelp stuff that should be in the toolbar ISNT and I have to keep going into view /toolbars/ customize /options /always show full menus and toggle the dang little checkbox on and off even THOUGH it's already checked.
    What gives and note: I am an original user of RH from the way back machine.
    Also note: I would REALLY like to avoid having to do a reinstall so if ANYONE can comment on this please do asap.
    Also, has anyone else noticed we cannot read the apology text anymore re: the Adobe support apology?
    TC

    Knowing what edition and version of RH you are using would help, see Before You Post.
    Also a screenshot would be helpful. Use the camera icon please to post it.
    Someone else reported a problem with the apology letter some weeks back and I tested it then, The link worked. I have just tested it again and it is working fine. Not sure why you are having a problem.

  • Profile.xml: how to select a video input (from number not name)

    Hello,
    I'm using FMEcmd in command-line mode with a custom
    profile.xml
    If I look at the profile.xml it looks like the selection of
    the inputs (video and audio) is only possible by giving the full
    name of the input (not just the input number like for Real Producer
    or Windows Media Encoder).
    The app. I'm developing will be used with a webcam and I dont
    have the information about the model someone will be using (and the
    user won't open the FME GUI to generate a profile).
    Is it really not possible to select an input from its number
    (as seen by windows)?
    If not do you have any suggestion to overcome this
    limitation?
    Also I've played with <crossbar_input> but I'm not sure
    what it means.
    Thanks
    <video>
    <device> ToUcam Pro Camera; Video</device>
    <crossbar_input>0</crossbar_input>
    <frame_rate>15.00</frame_rate>
    <size>
    <width>320</width>
    <height>240</height>
    </size>
    </video>
    <audio>
    <device>Appareil photo Philips ToUcam F</device>
    <crossbar_input>0</crossbar_input>
    <sample_rate>22050</sample_rate>
    <channels>1</channels>
    <input_volume>75</input_volume>
    </audio>

    Now that FME 2.5 is out I tried again. I still can't find the
    possibility to select the source from number (like Windows Media
    Encoder or Real Producer can).
    Can someone confirm that this possibility is not present in
    2.5?
    Is there any slight chance it will be implemented in the next
    version?
    What work around do you advise?
    Thanks for any answers.

  • Search within XMLForms shows ID not Name

    Hi,
    i have setup my XMLForms with the system property name as the title.
    when viewing that in the KM folder, i see the title and not the GUID (e.g. 40035a63-04dd-2c10-9ebe-b772175396b9.xml).
    The properties of this document shows me that the name is setup correctly.
    Under the tab "Access paths" i see the ID with thev value of the GUID.
    When I search for the document, the search result is using the GUID and not the Name.
    The Search Result Renderer is using:
    rnd:displayname(contentLink)
    What do I have to use instead to get the name and not the ID (GUID)? 
    Regards,
    Kai

    Kai,
    I developed an application to lookup in the KM and had the same problem as yours.  I was using <IResourceObject>.getName() which returned the GUID of the xml form builder. I had to switch my method to the getDisplayName() which retrieved the display name of the xml form and not the GUID.
    getDisplayName() worked just fine for me. Also under the properties of the xml forms, the DisplayName showed under Name and GUID under ID.
    Regards,
    Prath

  • I have a iPod nano 5th generation and there's a song I'm trying to play, but each time I click it from artist it just shows the songs name again. And when I try to click the song from the song list it just skips. How can I fix this?

    Pretty much I have a song on my iPod 5th gen nano that doesn't wanna play, its just one song every other song works. I click it and it show the thing when a song is about to play but then it instantly goes back to where you click on the song. And when I click on it in the songs list it skips immediately to the next song on the list. I have tried restoring my iPod but the song still won't work I've also tried removing the song from the library and the putting it back on iTunes but still no luck. What do you guys suggest I do?

    Can you play the song in iTunes?
    If you can't the song file is probably corrupt and needs to be replaced.

  • Is there any possible way to set your itunes to just show the album name without the songs included in the album in artist view. and then be able to select the album to expand all the songs. this would be ideal as I have many albums under certain artists

    I use to use windows media player. The layout was great. It would have icons (one of the album artwork inside the folder) for the artists. you could click on the artist and it would have the icons for all of the albums (similar to itunes) however it would not have all the songs included in that album listed underneath or within it. you had to click on the icon for the album to go into that particular album to view the songs. In my personal opinion this was much easier to search for a particular album especially if you had many albums under one artist as I do. I collect live concert recordings for several particular bands. It would be really nice if itunes would allow you to contract the songs names within each album under artist view and have some way to exand them or open a seperate album folder when clicking on the album name through artist view. is this even possible. does anyone know a way to allow this is happen. you would make a serious music collector very happy. I know this is a crazy request but for people who are serious music collectors like myself with over a TB of music it is much easier to consolidate each individual album under each individual artist for faster searching/viewing needs

    You are describing an iTunes problem, not an iPod touch problem. Try posing in the iTunes forum.

  • Messaging on iPad 2 showing numbers not names

  • Option to supress or just show Forum name at top

    I looked back the last several weeks and didn't see this mentioned, but apologize if it's out there somewhere already.
    I monitor the BI forums.  So I have a recurring list of 6 or so BI forums and the 3 or 4 sentence description of each forum that goes along with it.  This occupies a lot of real estate, almost a full screen, causing me to have to scroll down for on every single page.
    It would be nice if there was an option to either allow you to suppress the display of the forum names and descriptions, or at least just show the forum name without the description.

    I second that.
    Something that would help me as well.
    Regards
