Why did my new iphone change my contacts area code?

I just bought the iphone 5s.  And when I switched over my contacts info, the numbers appear instead of names when I am trying to text!! Very annoying!!
The actual names still pop up if I compose a text, but all the old ones are just phone numbers. 
help!

Did you switch from a droid to an iphone and have the contacts transferred by your carrier? Could have been an issue in the way they transferred the contacts.

    Correct.  When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box.  This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing. 
    You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands.  It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
    10.6 software is not downloadable.  You must purchase a DVD disc.  You can order it from the on-line apple store

  • Why did you have to change the layout of Firefox?

    I would like to know why you have gone and changed the layout of Firefox?
    I am still on Fx 3.6.18 because quite frankly 5.0.1 looks horrible.
    Why did you have to change everything and move things around. Why couldn't you have given us the same layout as 3.6.18 but with these new upgrades.
    I will never download Fx5. 3.6 was perfect.
    Also how can I contact Fx without upgrading?

    Sorry the old Feedback page - Hendrix - used with older versions of Firefox was disabled near the end of 2010.
    In Firefox 4+ versions there's a Help > Submit Feedback... menu item which leads here: http://input.mozilla.com/en-US/feedback <br />
    But you can't submit feedback there with an older version of Firefox, currently you need Firefox 5.0 or higher.
    The decision to change the GUI was made by Mozilla collectively, not by a small group of developers or by one person. If you put your efforts toward customizing Firefox to suit your tastes, it would be a lot more productive than trying to find out who to blame and where to complain about the changes made to Firefox. Geez dude, it ain't the end of the world. It's only a web browser, which can be easily modified to make it look like you thing it should look.

  • Can't access my backup to store on new phone. i see that it was backed up yesterday at 1:39  got the new iPhone 6 my contacts came over but none of my pictures

    can't access my backup to store on new phone. i see that it was backed up yesterday at 1:39  got the new iPhone 6 my contacts came over but none of my pictures

    What photos are you referring to? Are these photos that are in the Camera Roll and Photo Stream albums on the device you backed up, or are they in different albums? Are you signed onto the new phone with the same iCloud ID? Are the Photo Stream photos ones that have been taken in the past 30 days?
    When you set up the new phone did you set it up using that backup?
    Cheers,

  • Help, New iphone. Lost contacts!

    Hi I would really appriciate some help. My Iphone 4 was broken, so before I took it to the apple store to get a new one I backed up my data and updates my phone on my girlfriends macbook pro. She also has an Iphone 4, which she regualarly updates. When I went to the apple store they replaced my Iphone 4. so when I went to set it up on my girlfriends macbook pro it was only allowing her to set the iphone up to restore from her iphone, and not my own. so we decided to set it up as a new phone instead. but now this means I have lost all my contacts, photos etc. Nothing was really important apart from my contacts. Does any1 know a way I can get them back. My girlfriend has already searched alot of forum sites to check where the back up is stored and my original back up from my first iphone is no where to be seen. Please Help!

    Although contacts are included with your iPhone's backup, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer. This can be with the Address Book on your Mac and is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    Were you syncing contacts with the Address Book on your Mac with your old iPhone and if not, why not?
    You can't selectively choose which data included with your iPhone's backup is transferred to a new iPhone, or restored on your iPhone when restoring the iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup. It is all or none.
    If all contact info that was available on your old iPhone was not included with the iPhone's backup that was transferred to your new iPhone and you weren't syncing contacts with a supported application on your computer via the iTunes sync process, the contacts may be lost.
    If your old iPhone is still available along with the contact info, sync your old iPhone with the Address Book on your Mac, which is selected under the Info tab for the iPhone sync preferences. Follow this by selecting the same under the Info tab for your new iPhone sync preferences followed by a sync.

    why did I get my brother's contacts when I downloaded ios6?

    Did you ever use his Apple ID on your phone? Perhaps you signed in using his Apple ID and iCloud downloaded his contacts to your phone. Are your contacts still on your phone? Chech and see, under settings what Apple ID your are signed in with.

    Try TransPhone, it's working fine, but a bit expensive...
    After installing this, you'll Be able to send/recieve music, contacts, text messages, photos and Videos over bluetooth. Works fine with all mobile phones and computers...

  • HT1245 i lost my iphone but my contacts are still on icloud  how do i transfer to my gmail account ?

    i lost my iphone but my contacts are still on icloud  how do i transfer them to my gmail account without my phone ?

    You would't be able to do this with the iPhone.
    You can access your iCloud online contacts with a supported address book app on your computer. Export the contacts from there for import into your Gmail online address book.
    Or you can login with your iCloud account via webmail access using a browser on your computer. There is an option for selecting all contacts followed by exporting all as a single vCard file on your computer. If Google supports importing vCards, you can import the contacts that way.

  • My young kids have ipads and since I updated the software, but they have their own icloud account, predictive text within their messages shows all my contacts from my iphone but the contacts are not listed as their contacts, how do I stop this?

    My young kids have ipads and since I updated the software, but they have their own icloud account, predictive text within their messages shows all my contacts from my iphone but the contacts are not listed as their contacts, how do I stop this?

    I have deleted the iCloud account under my name on their iPads and replaced with their ones. Apple support said yesterday I needed to click the small 'I' by each name as it came up in the TO box and remove it. After doing rid for each contact under each letter of the alphabet it should remove them from latest contacts. Having done this, although I could not remove groups I had sent, I am not convinced they will not return once I have written a few texts, any ideas?
