When someone messages me their contact name does not show up as how i saved them!!! does this mean someone has access to my phone?

When I get a message from my friend, her contact name does not show up the way I saved her and I am wondering if someone has hacked my phone or something

That is what I am trying to work through. I understand you are seeing it in Notifications, that was what I was trying to confirm. When you open the message, what is displaying on the phone, Juan? Is Notification the only place that you are seeing this name differently? And yes, if you have the name saved as John, it should display as John. How are you backing up/syncing your contacts? Are you using a supported application on the computer, or are you using a cloud service, such as iCloud? If you go into your contacts and look in the upper left corner of the application, does it list more than one source for your contacts? Do you have more than one person with the same phone number listed in contacts, similar to having two people that work at the same place? Is the Notification only displaying a first name and no last name? Do you have first names only in your contacts?

    Try 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!

  • Music on my phone does not show all the iTunes artwork, even after doing a backup restore, eliminating all music and restoring

    Music on my phone does not show all the iTunes artwork, even after doing a backup restore, eliminating all music and restoring  I have an iphone5 64 syncing about 8000 songs, so updating all is a time consuming, and now maddening process. Never had a problem before iOS 8. Someone (hello Apple) needs to develop a utility to help manage artwork recovery.

    First, your carrier must support Personal Hotspot, and second, your account must be provisioned for such. Otherwise, that setting will not appear. So, contact your carrier.

    droid razr maxx calendar does not show up on gmail calendar even though it says that it has synced?

    I had this same issue. I solved it finally by downloading the free "official" google calendar disabling the phone calendar app (Google Calendar - Android Apps on Google Play) and disabling the phone calendar. Then you need to choose your gmail account to sync with your calendar app. Now my entries on the phone are showing up on my PC.

  • Application Insights Online does not show data. How to find out where the problem is?

    Hi, 
    I have application insight set up, sometimes I see data online, but sometimes I don't. I am wondering how to: 
    1. Make sure the monitor is running for my application?
    2. see there is data has been sent to cloud server? I tried to run DebugView but it does not show up anything. Is there a log flag that can be turned on so I can log everything to a log file while it is being sent to server?
    Thanks.

    Hello ChadKaKit,
    You can try Fiddler2 to see whether something gets out of the box to dc.services.visualstudio.com.
    Make sure to either run application under the same account as a Fiddler or set a .NET proxy settings in web.config (app.Config for executables) to redirect to Fiddler.
    Also, you can take a look at the AI traces with PerfView:
    Perfview.exe /onlyProviders=*Microsoft-ApplicationInsights-Extensibility-Web,*Microsoft-ApplicationInsights-Core,*Microsoft-ApplicationInsights-Extensibility-RuntimeTelemetry,*Microsoft-ApplicationInsights-Extensibility-Rtia-SharedCore collect

    Make sure you register the software with Adobe.  If you did not purchase it thru Adobe they will not have a record of the purchase in your account.

  • Subscribed calendar does not show up, subscribed calendar does not show up on i pad, subscribed calendar does not show up on i pad

    I have subscribed to a google calendar for Christian Holidays and even though it authenticated and is checked on the calendar list it does no dates appear on calendar  ANY HELP PLEASE?

    This has happened to other people and if you have first checked to make sure the App didn't go to a different page (swipe your screen to the left and see if there are other pages it might have loaded to), then reboot your iPad.  For some reason that seems to solve the mystery of the missing iBooks app.  To reboot, hold your home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds (keep holding past the swipe to shut down bar if it appears) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.  For other's when their iPad came back up, the iBooks app was there.........

  • In FF4 the opensearch detection does not seem to work. how can I add a search engine , that has an opensearch xml but no plugin?

    if you go to a webpage with an opensearch link tag like "<link rel="search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml...." FF3.x highlighted the small arrow left of the search box and you could add the search engine. this does not seem to work in FF4.
    If a searchengine for example for the intranet, does not offer a plugin, just the opnesearch xml, how can one add it to the search engines in FF4?

    You do not get the blue glow on the search engine icon in Firefox 4, but you should still see the "Add ... site" entry in the menu if you click the search engines icon on the Navigation Toolbar.

  • My wife was looking for me last Friday morning with the app find my phone.  The app showed that I was not where I said I was and she does not believe me.  How is the explanation for this mistake, I know where I was at but she is very upset.

    Please help!!! My wife has a Samsung galaxy 4s, and she was looking for me last Friday (09/19/2014) morning with the find my phone app.  I have a iPhone 5S and the app placed me in a location about 5 or 6 miles away from where I was actually at.  My wife if very up set and thinks I am lying to her.  Is there a way to get here the proper information so she does not have to feel like I am a lier.  This is a big problem and I need help. I can get video but it is very  expensive and takes a court order. I truly need help with this I have kids and this is problem is destroying our marriage.
    Thanks
    Greg Soileau

    How was your wife using the Find My iPhone app from a Samsung phone? But, that question aside, your wife should educate herself on how GPS works, especially on a cell phone. GPS signals can be interfered with by trees, buildings, clouds. Off by several miles would be unusual, though.
    If your wife is tracking your cell phone and not believing what you tell her, you may want to consider counseling as there are some very serious issues that go way beyond the technology.
    Best of luck.
