Why are some contacts listed by first name others by last name.

I synchronize my iPhone with an MS Exchange Server. Some contacts on my iPhone are listed by first others by lastname. I checked my Outlook - All contacts are the same!
Does someone know this Problem?

Unfortunately, I think that's just how android does it. I couldn't find a setting anywhere.

    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 some movies only available in languages other than the original version?

    I have mentionned this before, and it keeps happening, and it is oh so annoying! Why in the world would you make a movie available in a translated version, but not in the original? This has happened to me several times now, and it is incredibly frustrating. At least when buying movies on Amazon, I always easily know what language it will be in! Films in French? Some are just in French, some are in French and others. Films in Dutch? Quite a few are originals with Dutch, why not do the same in French?

    Take it up with whomever or whatever company distributes those films in your country.  Those sorts of options are up to the distributors, not Apple.  Only the company or people who own or control the distribution rights to the intellectual property can say what is or is not put up in the iTunes Store.

  • Why are some websites very slow loading and others not

    Some websites are very slow to load and others not. Doesn't seem to be any logic as to. The affected URL below is one that is very slow. I can understand if it is not an Aussie website. Having said that New York Stock Exchange website "http://www.nyse.com/about/listed/lcddata.html?ticker=DJI" loads quicker than the subject URL

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • In imovie - why are some of the images masked by other images?

    The images appear in the edit box but not when I play the movie. It's like they're being masked by the previous image.

    Thank you, mhoffman85!
    First, the photos were taken by people other than myself, but the tip you provided is a good one for me to pass along to family, friends, and fans.
    Second, I am indeed stubborn. Following your advice, I started by painstakingly deleting the 134 photos from my Muse CC slideshow widget. Then I copied the images into iPhoto, double-checking for rotation errors: one remained 90 degrees clockwise, so I changed that in Preview and saved it. Then I copied the photos into a new folder and reinserted them into the Muse widget. One of the photos needed a different "fill" setting. Finally, I re-typed all 134 photo captions and photo credit names. Et voila, when I previewed the page (2.5 hours later, ack), all of the photos were in their correct rotation.
    I am now feel a bit tired but mostly happy that I can move forward with populating the remaining pages before uploading my redesign. Excited!
    Very grateful also for your timely response to my post.

  • Why are some video frame sizes smaller than others?

    I am copying a number of short amateur digital video movies onto a single DVD.  All are 16:9 ratio, but whereas most fill the screen on my computer monitor and 16:9 ratio television, some appear as a smaller picture - still 16:9 ratio, but with a black border around all four sides of the picture.  Can someone please explain what causes this, and is it practical to enlarge the smaller picture movies to match the full screen ones, or will the image quality be noticeably poorer?  If it's practical to do, how do I do the enlarging?  Thank you.

    Are all clips from exactly the same source, using exactly the same settings?

  • 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?

  • HT1665 Why are my contacts not listed ?  They used to be there.

    Why are my contacts not listed?  They used to be there.

    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.

    Why are some of my group contacts not transferring from my computer

    Hey, I see I'm having the same problem lately.  I keep entering new contacts to my Apple desktop, and ever since adopting Lion the new contacts refuse to transfer to my mobile devices!  (no matter what I try!)...so much for having my contacts always updated with me!

  • Why are some of my songs listed in red?

    Why are some of the songs and albums listed in red in my library?

    You tell us, did you do anything?
    Install iTunes 11?
    Put songs into a Playlist Folder?
    Is the Playlist a Smart Playlist?
    Number two, putting songs into a Playlist Folder is guaranteed to cause songs to be "lost" from the list, eventually.
    So - if you need more help than the possible causes listed here, you need to tell us a bit more about the issue. One assumes for instance (since you've posted in the iTunes for Windows forum), that this is ocurring in iTunes. What devices are you Syncing with your iTunes Library, and what are the Playlists like on them?

  • Why are some items on the purchased list duplicated

    Why are some items on the purchased list duplicated

    Perhaps you are repeatedly checking for available updates while downloads are in progress. This can sometimes cause more than one copy to be added to the download queue.

  • Why are some of my songs not in order in my albums?

    I was wondering why are some of my songs not in order in my albums? This wasn't a problem when I first used i-tunes, but I had to download a newer version of i-tunes to get my sister's ipod to work.  For Example my album "AC DC Live" has track #3 Back in Black as the first song listed.  How can this be fixed?

    Hello igho234,
    Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities. You don't mention how those songs got onto your playlist, but this article may address your issue, if they were imported from a third-party application or CD.

  • Disc Burner. Why are some files not readable or writeable?

    Hello,
    I am trying to backup my friends computer files on a beige G3 (233 MHz). I am burning about 6 DVDs of AIF music files. Most of the files are about 30 - 40 Megs in size. Often I receive error messages on particular files that read:
    "The operation cannot be completed because some data cannot be read or written.
    (Error code - 36)"
    Followed by the choices: "Stop" or "Continue".
    I have a bad feeling that my startup disk is too small but I am not sure.
    Most of the files work fine. However some of the files cause disc burner to not be able to use them in the disc image before I burn. Why would this be?
    Here are the specifications:
    Computer: beige G3 with two hard drives (one SCSI and one ATA hard drive) and a Pioneer DVR-110D DVD writer which is Apple supported (Apple system profiler indicates Apple supported on this DVD writer). My blank DVD disks are Sony Vermatim DVD-R (1 - 16x speed support). Although I think my beige G3 only writes them at about 2 or 4x.
    I am using OS 10.1.5. My startup disk which has OS 10.1.5 in it is a 4 GIG SCSI disk. Is this big enough for a startup disk (for creating 4.5 GIG DVDs)? My files are on the second hard drive which is a 40 GIG ATA disk.
    I have a bad feeling that my OSX startup drive is too small for disk burning - it is only 4 GIGs in total and OSX Disc burner (Disc copy) is first making a disk image on my startup volume before it burns it. Perhaps that disk image is too large for the startup volume. Is there any way I could ask OSX to put this disk image on the second larger hard drive instead (not the startup drive?).
    Here is my process (I hope I am doing this right - I am new at this):
    1. I first insert a blank DVD-R
    2. A message pops up asking my if I would like to create a blank disc image for this disk (I think this is the typical Disk Copy utility window. I say "yes" and give it a name and choose the "DVD-R or DVD-RAM" option. (I am not sure if there are other important settings to choose here or better settings to use but I guessed the other options that seemed obvious. A blank disk image is created with an icon that looks like a DVD disk.
    3. Then I drag my chosen files to this blank disc image. It takes about 30 minutes to copy over. Thats when I receive the error message that some files couldn't be "read or written". The other files work fine but it would be nice if they all worked.
    Why would some files not be readable or writeable?
    4. Then I choose file/burn in the top menu and the DVD is created. This takes another 20 - 30 minutes. At the very end of the process another message pops up saying:
    "Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -28)" Followed by an "OK" button.
    However all the files that made it onto the final DVD are fine - its just that its not all of the ones I originally chose in the first step when dragging to create the disk image.
    Am I doing this the right way?
    Why are some files not "readable or writeable" as it indicates in the error message?
    Is my 4 GIG startup disk too small for this? or are the music files possibly corrupt? or could there be some other possible problem?
    Thanks

    To follow up, I have some good news. After following your advice Kappy, it now works very well Thanks! Instead of using the 4 GIG volume for the OS, I am now using an 8 GIG partition on an 80 GIG drive. So now the OS has some room to operate. No disk errors occured on my first DVD
    Now there was one problem. The second DVD burned gave me an error. I am not sure why but I am going to guess that because I had to installed the OS onto an 8 GIG partition maybe the OS needs to be rebooted in between disk burns because although 8 GIGs is certainly greater than the 4 GIGs I gave it last time, it still isn't a lot of space - maybe just enough to do one DVD at a time. Thats only a guess. So I rebooted to see if that clears the system out ready for the next DVD and I am trying to burn the second DVD again. If I remember I will report back. In any case, yes, this seems to be working. I hope this second DVD burns well too.
    Thanks Kappy

  • 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".
