When my contacts call me it shows unknown in caller ID
I have an iPhone 6, running 8.1.2, just lately when one of my contacts calls me it shows as unknown on caller ID. I changed nothing, all the numbers are correct, and it doen't do it for all my contacts, some it shows, some it doesn't. Just started doing this about 2 weeks ago, long after any software update, I changed no setting either, like I said not all contacts only some and not all the time on the same contact.
Thanks for any replies and help

Latests ongoing 'upgrades' as they refer them IOS7, without announcement removed the feature that showed an assignged contact image appearing full screen when that contact called. Why ? brilliant feature Fast losing faith, thoroughly ****** off, moving on to another phone.
We are all users here. You are not talking to apple on these forums. There is no way anyone here can know the decision making process apple uses to determine what changes to make to the operating system. Also none of use care about which phone you might buy next.

Right now when someone calls that I have a contact pic set for, it shows as a thumbnail on the right side of the banner (right corner of screen). I want it to come up on the whole screen like I see other iphones do. I was told at first that this happens when I use a pic not taken with my phone, such as an uploaded pic from my pc. This is not the case, the only 2 that I have tried to do were pics taken with the iphone. Can someone help me to get this corrected? I have spent over 2 hours with verizon, they cannot figure it out and I also have a senior technical advisor at Apple trying to figure it out, but I am curious if anyone has come across this with the new 4S and how they fixed it. The senior apple advisor thinks it has something to do with syncing my contacts through itunes or google.

Is it because the portable drive is NTFS format and the Mac wont recognise this? If so what do I do?
Yes, this is exactly what is causing the problem. Macs cannot write to NTFS formatted drives, only read. You must move the documents to the internal HDD/SSD of the Mac to be able to edit them.
Or, since you say you don't want to move the documents to the internal storage, you'll need to format the external HDD as FAT32. -
Photo doesn't appear when a contact calls until after answer (iOS 7)
When I recieve a call from a contact the photo (sync'd with Facebook) doesn't appear when the phone is ringing. Once answered the photo appears on the in call screen. I'm sure it appeared whilst ringing in iOS 6?
I have this same problem with SMS, recent calls, vm, etc. it started after i re-synced my contacts form MoblieMe and I can't seem to get it to recognize the number as a saved contact.

When I call someone I get a little tiny picture that I assigned the contact up in the corner.

Why do all my incoming calls show unknown, even when they are from people in my contact list?
Hi Hedland,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may want to first check your caller ID settings, as mentioned in this article:
iPhone: Understanding phone features
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4515
Caller ID
iPhone (GSM networks)
Turn on or off in Settings > Phone
iPhone (CDMA networks)
Contact your carrier for information on using Caller ID
If your settings are correct, try the troubleshooting steps in our iPhone Assistant:

When a contact gets a new phone number, I delete the old number and enter the new number. When I try to text or call, both the old a new numbers. One up as a selection choice, even though the old number is gone from the contact.
That's normal behavior as the old one will remain in the memory cache for a while until it's eventually overwritten. If it's particularly bothersome to you, you can restore your phone as NEW and this will empty the cache.

Sir, your Apple ID can be used as an iCloud account as well. They are both the same thing.

FrostyTry to restore your iphone via iTunes or update to ios6.1.2.
If itunes gives an error with restoring (DFU/Recovery or just normal)
try this:
open your computer and search on windows; C://windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
open up the hosts file in note pad you will see IP adresses and more add another line and put in this:
#74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
this is a by-pass to the cydia/saurik restore server, it has nothing to do with jailbreaking over voiding apple's warranty
let me know if succeeded! -
Contact pictures when receiving phone calls
I have some contacts which have pictures directly taken with my iPhone and naturally they display full screen when receiving a call. Other contacts however have imported pictures which display as thumbnails when I receive a call.
Is there a way to either have them all display as thumbnails (other than using pictures not takes with the iPhone)?
Thanks for any input on this.J.K. ROFLing wrote:
According to wjosten in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2502247
Contact pictures assigned on your computer & then synced to your phone will appear as thumbnails, while contact pictures assigned directly on your phone will appear full size.
This was in 3.1.3, but it should be similar in 4.0, although I haven't had a chance to test it yet.
Thanks, yes, that is still the case.
What I am trying to accomplish is, that ALL pictures show up as thumbnail. So, with all your replies it seems like the only way to do this would be to save the picture on the PC and then re-sync them. -
Contact info does not display when answering a call
instead of formatting my phone numbers as (123)456-7849 the iPhone Contacts app insists upon 1234567849
But when I receive calls, the display shows the caller with the parenthesis. And apparently that makes it different from the entry in Contacts.
But even when I save the call into Contacts, the number is reformatted without parenthesis, and there is no way to add parenthesis to the Contact info.
So basically I do not have caller-ID with my updated iPhone, it just shows the caller's phone number (with parenthesis, of course)
Help??? This is annoying.Yep, having the same problem. Kind of infuriating.

How can I automate the multi-step process of looking up a caller's contact details when a telephone call comes in with caller ID. I want to be able to see more than just the first & last name when a client calls me. I would like the caller ID to pull up the same information that shows up when you search for and find a contact name and then click on the right arrow.
My workaround is to force/enter both the last name and the address in the last name field since then the address will show up.
The only computerized way to look up this additional information is to put the client on hold, memorize the first and last name and correctly enter it in the search field of the contact database and hopefully find it before the client gets tired of waiting.
Note that I go to about 48 small jobs per week. So far I have about 9,000 contacts. It's easy to make a mistake and have the client wondering what I'm doing and what's taking so long.
The second workaround is to use paper and pencil and ask the client for name, address, cross street and phone number again, repeating what I did some time previously.
Please help meautomate this process.You don't have to put anyone on hold. When the call comes in, tap the Home button, then tap contacts, go to the contact. Tap Home button when finished, tap the top banner to return to the call screen.

Since i upgraded to 5.0.1 . My iphone contacts caller id shows email address not contact name and number. Is this a settings issue?
Hi, it's maybe happening the same here!
I have an iphone 3gs. Since I did the upgrade to ios5, when I receive an sms with the notification of a missed call I am no longer able to see if it's coming from a number of my contact list, because in the sms the message correspondence for that contact underlines now the number PLUS the first 2 cifres of the date! So the number results always being 2 numbers longer and it's impossible get to the original.
That's really a major problem for me, as I'm no longer able to know who has called me, if someone I know (and who) or if a new number.
I add a capture to explain it better (I have banned a couple of cifres for privacy reasons).
Anyone solved the problem or can help please?
Thank you!
