Why are my contacts changing on their own?

Every time i write an email to a person on my contact list which I erased his family name from his card, somehow the family name comes back... I erase again, and after I write an email to the person, it comes back... any ideas???

Was this with a brand new email or with a reply to an existing one?
What should happen with the option turned off on a new email is you have to type the entire email address manually (or use the show "Address Book" feature to use an Address Book entry). Did you see something else?
With "Automatically complete addresses" turned on, Mail will search for any email addresses it can find that match what you type, including in older emails. It doesn't all come just from Address Book.

Why are all contacts changed to United Kingdom on my iPhone and to Deutschland on my iPad after I did a simple backup?

I backed my iPhone only to find that I lost all the new contacts I entered in the iPhone only or better just lost the details e.g addresses, phone numbers but not the names and also all older contacts now have the country "United Kingdom". Have the same problem with my iPad but here all older contacts now have the country "Deutschland" while again I lost all new entered contacts except for the names. However all addresses in Outlook are with the correct country but again all newly entered contacts are missing all details safe for the name

Never mind. I got it working now

I'm having an error in Photoshop CS6 where the numbers in boxes (like image size width) are changing on their own. Can someone please help me figure this out?

This was happening all the time on my old 2006 iMac, and I thought that when I upgraded to a new computer it would go away. No such luck.
Sometimes the program works just fine, and other times I have this error. I haven't been able to pinpoint what is causing it.
Basically what happens is, I will try to type a number in the box to edit the size of the image (or sharpness, etc. something that requires you to enter a number), and as soon as my mouse hovers over the box, the numbers start changing on their own. As soon as I move the mouse away, the problem stops, but of course this means that I am unable to type in the number that I want.
I've tried unplugging my mouse and keyboard - that doesn't change anything.
Has anyone run into this issue before?
Btw, I use a 2013 iMac, OS version 10.9.5
(I have a video clip of this problem, but I don't know how to share it here)

Your task is hardly a case for Photoshop: replacing text accurately in a scanned, not even
straightened image.
My recommendations:
a) put a crossreference list on each page
   or
b) straighten the scans and improve the contrast, both by Photoshop.
   Then apply a program which converts images of text into machine coded text
   by OCR - Optical Character Recognition , for instance Abbyy Finereader
   http://finereader.abbyy.de/professional/?adw=google_eu&gclid=CMirrcCMx7MCFZHRzAodlisAJg
   (I'm not related to the manufacturer of this software, I'm just a user).
   In coded text it's easy to replace isolated character groups as required.

Why are my contacts birthdays all two days out on my iPhone?

Why are my contacts birthdays all two days out on my iPhone? They show as correct on my MacBook Pro and my iPad but not my phone. When i try and change them they revert back to being two days out.

Welcome to the Apple Community Rob.
Please try the following…
    1.    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    2.    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    3.    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

I had the same thing happen to me. It's a bug in iPhoto 9.4.2.
The first time you run iPhoto after upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2, it "updates the iPhoto library". This sometimes tickles a bug where iTunes can see all your iPhoto albums, but iTunes thinks they are empty. Since iTunes thinks all your albums are empty, it dutifully deletes any photos from your synced iOS devices.
It's easy to tell if this is the problem you are seeing. Open iTunes and go to the photos sync panel for one of your iOS devices. If you have multiple albums checked, but iTunes shows a total of 0 photos, then you have the problem.
I spent an hour with an Apple Genius. he couldn't find any mention of this problem in their internal support system. His recomendation was to reinstall the operating the system. I suspect that this won't solve it.
The only solution I have found is to restore iPhoto 9.4.1 and the corresponding iPhoto library from your backups.
I would refrain from upgrading to iPhoto 9.4.2 until Apple has a fix for this issue.

Please do not post the entire messages log as it takes up unnecessarily a lot of space. It seems that there is a corrupt/nonfunctional file called

Go to your hard drive, enter library, go into users, and go into launch agents and delete the thing above. Empty the trash and restart.

Why are my contacts not showing up in my iMessage on my macbook pro?

Why are my contacts not showing up in my imessage on my macbook pro?

open messages. go to messages>preferences>accounts. select your icloud account from the left sidebar, and uncheck 'enable this account' then recheck 'enable this account'
you should also be using icloud to sync your contacts. sytem preferences>icloud. check the 'contacts' box

Why are my contacts in icloud different to those on my iphone?

Why are my contacts only partially downloaded to icloud and also in a different format? I want them to be exactly the same as on my iphone 4.

Preferences changing on their own

Preferences for applications and the sleep mode seem to be changing on their own. What am I looking for and how do I repair it?
It was first noticeable in QuickBooks Pro. The company file would stop reacting to entries and then when the application was restarted it could not find the file. All windows were reset to their default locations and sizes. Now the machine falls asleep during movies in FrontRow.

Hi Donald,
It seems like 2 unrelated issues, if you did not attempt to rename your home folder?
For Sleep try trashing these prefs:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist and com.apple.AutoWake.plist
The second sounds like LaunchServices:
Launch Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line:
Code:
<pre class="alt2" style="margin:0px; padding:3px; border:1px inset; width:640px; height:34px; overflow:auto">/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/\Frameworks/LaunchServi ces.framework/Support/lsregister \-kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user</pre>
Then press return. After that, log out and back in or restart.

Why are my contacts that i am now saving, saving as unified contacts?

I saved a contact in my phone and only the name and number, but when i went back in to view the contact its showing as unified info, and i didnt put all the info listed under that contact in i.e. Twitter account, facebook, address, etc. why are my contacts now being saved that way and how come peoples full names, or facebook names showing up in the text if they are not even saved into my contact list?

This is being caused by using the same Apple ID for iMessage. To fix this you have two choices:
On all but one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. Note: you can still share the same ID for purchasing in Settings>iTunes & App Stores; or
On all of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at".

Why can't my kids get their own Apple ID?

2 iPhones, 4 iPods, 2 Mac book in the house - why can't my kids have their own ID for their own devices?

Try a different tact... Have a look here...

Why are my contacts and calendars showing up on my daughter's iphone after I updated? Help!

Why are my contacts and calendar showing up on my daughter's iphone after I updated? Is there anyway to remove them or stop
them from going directly to her phone? Help!!!! Thanks guys

So, am I to conclude from all this that the best thing for one iMac and multiple family devices (2 x iphones, 1 x itouch, 2 x ipods) is to set up itunes account for each family member. We don't use iCloud except for my (primary iphone)
We had similar problems to the above, and since the recent 6.0.1 update we've started getting each others texts, on top of my wife and I's contacts being replicated to our young son's itouch, and a seemingly random redistribution of apps.

Why are my Contact listed on my IOS 7.1.2 iPhone 4S in My Contacts as many as 6 times?

If your settings are correct then the issue maybe with the recipient phone especially if both of your phone sends those pics as green/mms instead as imessage.

Why are my contacts showing numbers and not names

Why are my contacts showing numbers and not names?

When you added your contact details in the contact app did you fill in the fields correctly. For example in contacts where it says "first" did you enter a number instead of a name?

Why are my contacts not backing up to iCloud?

My iPhone shows I have 1676 contacts but my iCloud shows i only have 382. Why are my contacts not backing up to iCloud?

On your phone, how many of your contacts are in the On My Phone group, or any other group that is not iCloud, and how many are in the iCloud group (382?)
Why are my contacts not backing up to iCloud?
Not the same thing, don't confuse a backup of your phone with an iCloud data account. Backup is a separate function.
