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 are many tracks in my library now just labeled "track 9" etc ?

    If they have the cloud icon then they are in the cloud, not on your iPod. You can turn off the showing of iCloud music via Settings > iTunes & App Store > Music (under 'show all' heading) 'off'.
    But if you have never bought/downloaded those songs then they shouldn't show in the cloud for streaming/redownloading - the U2 album was an exception, Apple automatically added that to everyone's account whether they wanted it or not. It's your account that shows as being logged in in Settings > iTunes & App Store ?

  • HT202020 Why are certain videos that I have taken with my iPhone 4 not supported by Aperture.

    Why are certain videos that I have taken with my iPhone not supported by Aperture?  That's weird.  I expect that since both iPhone and Aperture are Apple products, file support should be seamless between the two. 
    Also, iPhone 4 does not appear as Camera Model in the metadata of the unsupported video file in Aperture .  But other videos I have taken with the same iPhone 4 appear in Aperture and the Camera Model appears correctly.  Why is that?

    Have you done some cleaning and cleared caches on your Mac? Maybe the  com.apple.xpchelper.cache file is missing. Check the folder /System/Library/Caches/
    Re: Import video to Aperture library on Mountain Lion https://discussions.apple.com/message/19304702#19304702
    If this file should be missing, you need to restore it from a backup or reinstall it by reinstalling your system.

  • Why are some apps that I bought not on my purchased items on my itunes account?

    Why are some apps that I bought not on my purchased items on my itunes account?  I bought 4 apps, then had to reset my iPad, later when trying to download them back onto the iPad, they were not listed under by Purchased apps in my account in iTunes.  Thanks for any help!

    Plug in your iPhone to iTunes on your Computer, let it sync the games onto the Computer, then plug in your iPad and go to Apps in iTunes and select the apps then apply and it will download them to the iPad :)
    If you have trouble when in Apps in iTunes on your Computer, it will say iPhone and iPod touch Apps. Hope this helps!!

  • Why are numbers appearing that aren't in my contacts?

    When I start to type a name in the 'To' box while composing an SMS, my iPhone shows a drop down list of suggested numbers/contacts. One particular name triggers a contact that I have deleted. I cannot find it in the Contacts app at all when I check so I don't know what's going on.

    The phone stores every single email adresses you typed previously even if these emails are not related to any of your contacts. This is handy when typing an adress so your iphone can suggest it and all you have to do is to select the suggested adress. But after some time the phone deletes them. I don't remember if it's after 30 days - 60 days - 90 days but the ones you never use will end up deleted after some time.

  • HT1353 why are card games that are free on my phone not free for my mac

    I am wondering why the card games that I play for free on my iPhone and iPad (and PC as well) are not free for my Mac through iTunes?  It makes no sense.  I have a new 13" apple macbook pro laptop running yosemite.  

    iTunes does not sell anything for your Mac.
    You would have to buy apps from the Mac Apps store for your Mac.
    They may differ in price, because they are not the same thing.  One is an iOS app, then  other is a computer app.
    The maker of the app can choose what to charge for and what not to charge for.  It could be that one contains ads and the other does not.
    At the end of the day, then maker of the apps decides what to charge or if to charge.

  • Why are the texts that I receive from others (with apple products) grey in my message screen?

    Why are the received texts in my messaging gray??  The ones I send are blue. My rec'd texts used to be green before ios7. Is this normal??

    Those may be iMessages.
    If you send normal messages those will be in green color.

  • Why are shapes so difficult to use now?

    I cant see a single way shapes in CC are better.  All extra stages and annoyances, anyone have better workflow method to combat these new things?
    1. Cant duplicate easily.
    Before: select layer, cmd + j = duplicated
    Now: select layer, cmd + j = blank layer, nothing.
    Solution, select the pen, select the shape, select the layer, NOW duplicate.
    Am I doing it wrong? Because before you could just duplicate, now you have to have the shape selected and the layer. This is very frustrating adding extra clicking/selection to my workflow.
    If you right click a shape and duplicate, it works. So the shortcut of duplicate doesnt work the same?
    2. Pen Points are infuritating.
    Before: drag a box out to select multiple points on a shape.
    Now: drag a box out, selects every point in the entire document on every layer. How is this better than before?
    Solution, none really? If there is one I take it, its an extra click.
    3. A shape remembers the last point you click. Great so now everytime I click a shape I have to deselect that point, and usually try to do that using a drag box, which doesnt work.
    I just dont see how any extra workflow helps bring anything good to photoshop. What are the benefits to this new system?

    I have bought a Ipad 4 a week ago and find it is like wading though treacle to get my data loaded! Itunes seems very unintuitive and difficult to use. I managed to transfer my music and films over from my PC and started using them on the Ipad when suddenley they dissappeared! "No Content" so I had to go back and reload them all again. I still have not found a way to transfer and use my documents onto the Ipad. I have an Android tablet and that is so simple to use(and a liot less expensive to buy). Why can't I access the file system on the Ipad, this seems to be the heart of my problems. I am not inexeperienced with computers as I am a retired Computer Manager/Analyst/[programmer over 20 years.

  • Why are the songs that I uploaded to the iCloud always graying out?

    I've uploaded 14,000 songs to the Cloud.  Now most are grayed out.  Sometimes they show up and sometimes they don't.  This happens on my MacBook as well as my iPhone 6.  I'm signed in so that isn't the issue.
    Also, why did the iCloud delete a whole bunch of my uploads? These were CDs like Tool and a few collector's songs that aren't in general release?

  • WHY ARE SECURITY QUESTIONS ,THAT I HAVE NEVER BEEN ASKED BEFORE,NEEDED TO DOWNLOAD CONTENT FROM ITUNES ?

    IV'E TRIED THIS EVENING TO DOWNLOAD A SONG FROM ITUNES AND SECURITY QUESTIONS THAT I HAVE NEVER BEEN ASKED BEFORE ARE NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE DOWNLOAD. WHY?

    The security questions have been added to provide additional security for iTunes Store accounts. You will need to set up the questions and answers now, and provide those answers from time to time.
    Regards.
    Forum Tip: It is generally considered inappropriate to type all in uppercase letters in Internet discussions, as text that is typed all in uppercase is by convention considered to be shouting.  Uppercase is also more difficult to read, so please use all uppercase sparingly and only when you really mean to shout, which we hope you won’t need to do here .

  • Why are the 3 maints done twice now? Tiger 10.4.11 bug?

    I've noticed that recently in Tiger 10.4.11 the daily, weekly and monthly tasks are done twice * in the same job*. Can some of you check your Console Logs and see if you are seeing something similar to below? Makes no sense. I wonder if this is a bug in the latest update to Tiger since it didn't used to do this (but I'm not sure from when.) I'm curious. Is there any way to track down why this is happening. Where ARE these scripts hidden?
    Thanks,

    Don't get excited – I don't have an answer, I'm just posting to tell you that you are not alone. I only have this 'doubling' with periodic daily. I cannot be sure when it started, but I think probably in one of the early iterations of Tiger. I spent much time and effort back then trying to track down the reason but failed. The doubling is sporadic, showing a double entry in daily.out on some days, not on others, with no discernible pattern, rhyme or reason that I could fathom. When there is just one entry the date stamp is spot on; when there are two entries the first is always 6 or 7 seconds before the appointed time, the second spot on. An example (my 'daily' is set for 5:05 am)…

    My current suspicion/guess… I do re-boot to move from one volume to another on some days and not on others. It is well known that launchd has never quite got it right concerning the running of periodic tasks following computer sleep. I never sleep my Mac, but I wonder if what you and I are noticing is a related 'glitch' with launchd's timings. I realise that I should have kept notes of when I re-booted but at those times I have been too involved with what I was doing to remember! Does this possibly give you a clue? If I am right then the 'glitch' is hidden in the inner workings of launchd's mathematics and that would explain why we have not been able to find a 'culprit'.
    It would be good if you could do what I should have done ( ) – keep an eye on re-boots. I would feel happier to know that the glitch was down to Apple and launchd and not due to anything 'wrong' at my end. I expect you would feel the same.
    PS  "An early iteration of Tiger" would fit in with the switch from cron to launchd.

  • Why are my applications that are assigned to specific desktops randomly rearranging themselves on other desktops?

    I'm on a late 2013 Retina 13" MacBook Pro running OS X Mavericks Version 10.9.4 and for some reason most of my applications assigned to specific desktops are rearranging themselves to other desktops.
    For example, I've created eight desktops. I've assigned Safari to appear on desktop three. While using Safari, when I swipe once from to left between desktops using my three fingers, I end up on desktop seven. It appears that Safari automatically reassigns it's self on desktop six. I swipe back to desktop three. From the dock, I find Safari and do a right click to have the application menu pop-up, I hover over options and assign Safari to "This Desktop" again. I begin using Safari, and if I'm unlucky, and I swipe from left to right I end up on desktop four.
    This happens constantly and it's become annoying. Is this a bug?
    For work, I use a late 2008 Non-Retina 15" MacBook Pro running OS X Mavericks Version 10.9.4 and that laptop has no issues.

    Right click (cntl click) the icon on the dock.  Select options and set "assign to" None, All or This desktop.

  • Why are the Apple stores sold out now???

    Well some people who ordered online have just received shipping confirmation that their order is coming from China... So i'd suspect that Apple stores should be getting new shipments soon too.

  • Why are my purchases disappearing when I now connect my Ipad?

    I connect my ipad to my computer and it now says that I need to authorise it. I follow the instructions to authorise it and then it says that it has already been authorised and I go around in circles getting asked the same thing and following the instructions. THEN it loses all my purchases on the ipad. I am getting very angry with it.Please give me back my Clubland album and the last few things that I bought

    Go to Preferences, and then into ClipboardHandling. Click a radio button choice for All Information instead of Text Only.

  • Why are completed forms that are emailed back to me blank.

    When opening a completed form all the fields are blank.  When I ask the submitter they say that when they open the file all fields are completed.  My operating system is Mac OSX 10.9.4 and Acrobat Pro 9.5.5.  Any help much appreciated as this is driving me nuts.

    You should probably make the form in AcroForms (that is directly in Acrobat with the forms tools). For submission, you should request the data to be submitted (FDF file) to a web script on an internal server. The script can be set to submit the data to a database or many other things (not that I have done them all). The script can be done in several different languages. If you download the FDF Toolkit, you can do a lot of the needed options. Check out Acrobat Forms Data Format (FDF) Toolkit | Adobe Developer Connection.
