TS4036 I have backed up my phone to icloud, photos, music, contacts, but now most of my contacts don't show up on my actual phone, and all I have on the text is a phone number instead of the person's name. What happened?

I am new to the icloud, and I have a question. I have backed my phone up to icloud, with photos, music, contacts, etc. but now most of my contacts have disappeared on my actual phone, and when someone sends me a text, just a phone number shows up instead of their names. What happened? How do I get all of my contacts back on my phone?

Do you see all your contacts on a computer at...

I use the apple email in my mac air. When I foward messages, people that use Outlook receive the text in form of attachment instead of the message opened in the body of the email. How can I solve this?

this:
Did not exist at the point of delivery to the consumer.
Nor did the white corrosive agent present exist at the point of sale.
" exposure of copper alloys to moisture or salt spray will cause the formation of blue or green salts called verdigris. The presence of verdigris indicates active corrosion."
I see also 2 contact points with DEEP corrosion pitting not indicative of any defect from the factory.

you most likely have imessage on both iphones and sending/receiving to same number on one of the iphones. go to settings messages > send and receive > check the numbers/emails on both iphones. once you uncheck the numbers/emails you dont want you will not be getting the messages any more. a little bit more info is helpful read this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538.

Imessage only displays the phone number instead of the name after the last update. any idea how to fix it?

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Language & Region
From the Region menu in the window, select one of the preset regions. If one is already selected, choose a different one, then change it back. Close the preference pane and test.

Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure only the phone number is checked.

Hey John,
If you are having an issue with emojis on your iPhone, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

I have the iPhone 4, and yesterday I synced my photos onto iTunes, but now I have albums on my phone that cannot be deleted, and there is not an option to delete the items in the albums individually... How do I get rid of these unwanted albums? Windows 7

If you used iTunes to get the photos on the phone, then use the same iTunes and uncheck the music you don't want and do another sync.

I have a iPhone 4 and all of a sudden when I answer a phone call the person on the other end can't hear me ???? I can hear them , so I've had to put it on speaker for all my calls - ? Any tips on how to get it back to being able to speak normally

Morning Lupoipia,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If you can't be heard by someone who is calling, take a look at this article:

I just updated my 3gs to the latest iOS 5 update and now I am unable to text certain numbers. I keep getting the error code 1121611611 invalid number, even though the number I have in my contacts is a 10 digit number. Any suggestions on fixing this?

I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

I installed iOS 7 and it deleted some of my contacts, as expected, so I just resaved them all. There's one particular number that will save but in my messages, it shows up as the number instead of the name saved. How do I fix it? And why is it doing that?

I had this problem too, I fixed it by going to my settings and under general at the bottom there is a reset option, go there. One of the options should be reset network settings, select that one. I’m not sure why it happens but that worked for me; hope you have the same luck!

When using the "Fill & Sign PDF" feature, is there a way to stretch to size the text box, for a specific area on the page...instead of it going on in one straight long line...?

When using the "Fill & Sign PDF" feature, is there a way to stretch to size the text box on a specific area of the page...instead of the text box going on in one straight long line....? I'm not seeing there's an option or ability to do so, just wanting to confirm.

Improving the handling of multiple line text fields is in our plans, but for now, you will have to add manual carriage returns (Enter).
Thanks,
Josh

I am just trying to restore my photos from my pc to my phone that i have backed up already on my icloud but do not know how to do this?

I am just trying to restore my photos from my pc to my phone that i have backed up already on my icloud but do not know how to do this on my iphone 6 ios 8.3

If the iPhone is still working and the photos are in the Camera Roll (i.e., taken on the iPhone) then, when you connect the iPhone to your PC, it should be recognized as a Camera and Windows should start AutoPlay.

I have adobe acrobat 11 reader writer I want to use the pointer symbol on full screen instead of the hand, iwas able to do it on adobe 10 also when in full screen i can't open attachments unless i right click and open it then it boots me out of full scree

I have adobe acrobat 11 reader writer I want to use the pointer symbol on full screen instead of the hand, iwas able to do it on adobe 10 also when in full screen i can't open attachments unless i right click and open it then it boots me out of full screen is there any way i can click on the attacment without going out of full screen

I don't know why the change, but the pointer appears in the same way as it does on the main screen, not a pointer. There does not appear to be anyway to change it. You may want to submit a comment to the Features Requests: Acrobat Feature Requests. I also submitted this as a bug.
As a clarification, your "adobe acrobat 11 reader writer" is not informative. There is Acrobat 11 and Reader 11. Writer is not a product as such. So you have referred to Acrobat in a contradictory manner. In the future, please just indicate Acrobat 11 or Adobe Acrobat 11.

No, but you should sync it to iTunes before you update it.
Also, see this -> iCloud: Backup and restore overview

Thank you, I never thought about accessing webmail. They are all there.
