Why can't I search a contact?

When I search for this one particular contact.my skype crash and restart itself. What does this mean? How do I know if someone blocked me?

So what happens when you try to send a message to the desired contact? The contact has to be in your contact app to show automatically.

  • Why can't Preview search in a foreign language?

    I have a long .pdf document in Russian but find, as in the past, that words placed in Preview's search bar always get no hits.
    If Preview can display a text in a foreign language, why can't it search for words in that language?

    Try Adobe Reader instead of Preview.
    The basic problem is that the pdf format is not reliable for searching, and sometimes even copy/pasting non-Latin text.  Depending on how it is produced, the internal representation of the text can easily become useless garbage.

  • Why can't I access my contacts in I cloud?

    why can't  I access my contacts in ICloud.. Need to delete a number from ICloud

    If you are trying to access them on your phone, make sure you are signed into your iCloud account and have Settings>iCloud>Contacts set to On.  If you are trying to access them online, go to https://www.icloud.com on your computer, log into your account and open Contacts.

  • HT201272 Why can't I search any apps in the store?  I can only see the ones that the Genius thing recommends for me.  This is on my iPhone 4S .

    Why can't I search the App Store on my iPhone 4S?  All I can do is search the recommended ones from Genius.  What do I need to do?

    Apple’s having trouble with the iTunes Store servers right now. Wait for them to resolve the issue.
    Feel free to check up on the issue @ http://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/
    This outage started @ 5am est (~10 hours ago).
    I'm disappointed in Apple's inability to do the smart thing, and post a notice in the header of the site, this is a user-wide issue, you don't just hide the fact it's happening behind a server status page.

  • I'm using the remote with my iPod connected to iTunes why can't I search playlists on the iPod? It only lets me search playlists in iTunes

    You can only sync to one computer.
    You would have to transfer purchases, but the apple ID would need to be the same.
    Or find a 3rd party app to transfer content.

  • Why can't I search icloud calendar

    I can search mail, contacts, notes, and reminders.
    Why, for the love of god, can I not search calendar?!!
    Simon

    You're welcome.  If you entered new events for next week that don't appear on your iPad, they were probably entered on a non-iCloud calendar.  If you have now set the default calendar to be your iCloud calendar on your phone, you will have to re-enter the events on your iCloud calendar and delete them from the non-iCloud calendar to get them on your iCloud calendar and not see duplicate events on your phone.  (There isn't a way to move them from one calendar to the other.)

  • Why can i no longer sync contacts and calendar from my iMac to my iPhone?

    why can i no longer sync my contacts or calendr from the imac to my iphone?

    Thanks for the reply Arthur. Actually, I just got off the phone with an apple rep telling me you can't downgrade, and that yes, apple actually IS forcing you to use iCloud - if, that is, you actually want to be able to sync your contacts or calendar. Apparently you are special and know something different, so please enlighten the rest of us.
    Here is one way
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6311
    Here is another
    http://www.apple.com/au/osx/server/
    Here is yet another
    If your Mavericks came with anything other than Mavericks pre-installed
    OS X Mavericks: Revert to a previous OS X version
    Also there are a host of other Cloud services you can use. You do not have to use iCloud at all. Although there ARE over 320+ million iCloud presently active, so it is extremely popular with users.

  • Why can. I not view contacts on webcam

    Why can I not view contacts cam on messenger

    .mp4 and .m4v are 'containers' and while they may well contain AppleTv compatible 'codecs' this is not necessarily the case.
    Also even if a file plays in iTunes it will not necessarily play on AppleTV.
    There is an app which will interrogate your files to give the codec info - the name escapes me currently - hopefully someone else will remember or I will!
    On your AppleTV have you checked that these files are not appearing under the Home Videos category.
    You could also potentially download the Handbrake transcoder and run the files through it using an AppleTV preset.

  • Why can't I search/filter on display names?

    See Question. Yes, it's 'display names', so I guess you can only see them on the display while thunderbird pretends to not know them really.
    Still this is a less useful non-feature which annoys me a lot.

    Display name:
    is useful in identifying emails from specific people like family and friends.
    It is more informal.
    The shortened format means the 'From' column header does not need to be so wide - especially if these emails have been filtered to suitable folders.
    for example: it is more user friendly to see FROM Mum instead of the long email address and many peopke do not always send emails showing their name.
    However, like many things, you are not obligued to use it in the contact properties.
    Regarding searching:
    It depends upon how you are doing it. there are different search methods and each will search in a slightly different way.
    If using 'Quick Filter Bar' then it does not search on Display name as those options are not available. It searches on Sender , Recipient, Subject and Body. But if the display name happens to be used in the body content then it will display.
    If using global search then it does search on a display name.
    Enter the display name in the search eg: Mum and select the Mum and email address option from the drop down offered.
    It will show display name and email address, so you can select the search parameters.
    If using this method:
    Edit > Find > Search messages
    This method searches on specific fields/headers and therefore will not search on a display name.
    So I would recommend you try using the global search option if searching by a specific display name.

  • Why can't I find a contact in my contact list?

    Hi, here's my problem.
    I'm going to delete a friend from my contact list because he keeps broadcasting a message like 12 times a day. But the thing is, I can't find him in the contact list!
    I've typed his name in the search box. I even scrolled the list down to check my contacts one by one, but I still can't find him.
    How is that possible? Is there any other way to delete a contact? Please help!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    @aiharkness : Actually I'm not using a Blackberry device, but I did install Blackberry Messenger to my device.
    After reading your suggestion, I was thinking to re-install the application, assuming that the result would be the same as resetting a Blackberry device. But after I deleted the application, it turned out that the BBM app is no longer available for iOS.
    So I guess, my problem is "solved" because I deleted the app and couldn't get it back.
    Thank you very much!

  • Why can I still see deleted contacts?

    hi everyone,
    I've noticed that I can see contacts that have been deleted (from all my devices and they do not appear in the Contacts on my Mac or on icloud.com) when I'm composing a Message (whether iMessage or SMS) as well as in the search screen. 
    For example, if friend AA has changed phone numbers and I delete the old one, both numbers (new and deleted old) will continue to come up!
    Is that normal ?

    There is no other way to permanently delete the deleted numbers. Only restore as new. If you don't want to do this, make a fake contact with the old number. Then sent a message to this old AND new number. Then delete the fake contact.  The deleted number will still remains in the cache memory of Messages App but you can recognize the old number to avoid sent messages to this number.
