Why is my contact list showing Facebook profiles of people whose number I don't have in my contacts? Isn't the "contact list" supposed to only identify and match facebook profiles with contact phone numbers within my iphone?

When I went into the Facebook app on my iPhone 4S, I tried finding friends through my contact list. I thought only contacts with cellphone numbers matching a Facebook profile would appear to add as a friend. What's being populated are friends of my friends. Why is this happening? A friend of a friend isn't my contact. Shouldn't a true contact have a phone number in my contact list when attempting to match contact to Facebook profile or did things change with iOS 7.0.3??

Many mail clients reject images, JavaScript and embedded CSS styles. For best results use plain text near the top to communicate your message and give a link to the actual web page on your server.
For mail clients that do have limited support for HTML, use uncomplicated tables and inline CSS rules (inside the body tag).
All that meta data description is a red flag to spam filters. You shouldn't be using meta description or keywords in e-mails.

A 6 and a 6 Plus with seperate phone numbers are receiving txts sent to only one number. They share the same iTunes acct. Is this the problem?

Hmm... Just found out the 6 and 6 Plus were updated to 8.1.1 today. Coincidently, that's when this started.
Another thing is both phones ring and you can answer either one, or both. fwding is not selected.
Thanks Kilted Tim.

Help with multiple contacts with multiple phone numbers

I'm fairly new to the iPhone so thanks in advance for any help with this issue.
I have contact list with records for a lot of people (300+), each with several phone numbers each, home, mobile & work, etc, .I can't seem to find a way to have the iPhone announce the name & number or name & type (home,mobile,work) of the caller from the contact list, my old cell phone could do that easily.
At the moment what I've been doing as a work around for a few (important) people is to create a custom ringtone for that caller & that phone number. Since it also seems there's no way to attach a different ringtones to each number in a single contact record I've had to create multiple contact records for each person, each with a different name/number combination such as "John Doe Work", "John Doe Home" or John Doe Mobile" then assign to it the custom ringtone I created for that name/number.
I need to this so that if I receive a call while I'm driving (or whatever) that I can't answer right then for some reason (often happens), the ringtone I created for that name & number helpfully lets me know who & where their calling from. It's very important to know where someone is calling from, if someone's calling from home then I know I've got some time, but if their calling from work then I need to get back to them quickly.
This is a real pain!, having to make multiple contacts & ringtones for a every person with multiple numbers is a extraordinary waste of time. My old cell phone could do this with no problem but there doesn't seem to be any way to do this with my new iphone. Am I missing something here? I am new to the iPhone so if there’s a solution to this that I’ve missed I'd very much appreciate the assistance.
Thanks in advance.

Why are my contacts not syncing from my iphone to my mac?

I enter phone numbers on my iphone, but they don't seem to be showing up on my computer, even after I have synced. I have no idea why. I'm thinking of shutting off iCloud (I don't see any benefit to it right now, unless I'm using it wrong), will that help? I'm getting very frustrated having to enter contacts twice (one in my phone when I'm out and about, and another time if I want it on my computer's address book).

Have you done any of Apple's recommended troubleshooting?
See: iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Contacts
It's also helpful to mention what OS you are using on your iPhone and Mac.

Did you change your sim card? I had this same problem because I moved countries and had to add a 1 before the number and area code.

If they were on your phone when you last backed up you could try restoring to your backup. This may restore them if you follow this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4841.

How do I get my contact phone numbers to format properly?

I just upgraded to an iPhone 4S on Verizon. The majority of my contact phone numbers are now in the format: 1234567890. On my old iPhone 4 (AT&T) they were displayed as (123) 456-7890.
This is causing several problems.
When I try to dial from contacts, Verizon keeps insisting the numbers are international, and I don't have international service.
When a call from a contact comes in, it shows the number, not the name (it cannot correlate the caller ID number with the name in my contact list). The same with text messages.
I cannot get Siri to dial any of these contacts.
I am syncing via iCloud, and was on my last phone. In Address Book on my Macintosh the numbers are formatted properly, and show as US numbers.
I've searched through settings, but I don't see any way to change how Contacts on the iPhone displays numbers.
Is there some way to convince my phone that these are US numbers, format them correctly, and stop giving me trouble dialing them please?

I had this problem also and did the same thing. I dialed *228, chose option 1 and it worked. My question is that my phone, which is a 4S and on Verizon, is the only iPhone I've ever had. The format of my numbers just changed. I didn't realize it until I noticed that I was getting calls from people on my contact list and the number, not the name, was coming up. Is there a reason that this happened? I'd like to know in case it was something I did so I can be sure not to do it again.

The order of phone numbers changes in iphone

I list phone numbers in Contacts in the order that I want them to appear, but the oder changes once they are in the iphone. The contacts show up correctly on my computer and in Mobile Me but different on the iphone. I have the current OS on my phone.
For example, each person with multiple phone numbers there is usually an order of which number is best to reach that person. For some people the first place to try and reach them would be their mobile number, for business associates I might want to call them at work first before trying them at a different number.
Another example is my husband. I want our home phone on top, his regular mobile number listed next, and he has a back up mobile phone for emergencies. Annoyingly, the back up mobile number is what shows up on the iphone as his first phone number.
I've asked about this in my "One to One" appointments and they told me to check with Mobile Me. I checked the mobile me support and they say it has to be a iphone issue. I have had two different 3G iphones and both did this. I've tried to work around this by deleting the entire address book and then importing all fresh info and this doesn't help. It is also random, it is not consistently putting any particular group on top.
I would really appreciate a solution.
thanks

Before you sync your iPhone the next time, activate the option "sync addressbook" and "replace all Contacts on iPhone". The next sync will replace your contact info on your phone. From that point on all contact infos will be the same on your mac and and your phone. And changes or new infos will also be seen on both systems.
Hope this helps

Is it possible to retrieve phone numbers from previous iPhones through iTunes ?

Is it possible to retrieve phone numbers from previous iPhones through iTunes ?

iTunes does not backup any contact information. Contact information is sync'd with your contacts program on your computer. On a Mac, that would be the Contacts program, which iTunes will sync the content with between your iPhone and the computer. On a Windows PC, people often use outlook, and their contacts are sync'd with its contacts.
You can also sync contacts with iCloud.
Do you still have the previous iPhones? If so, just sync them with whatever contacts program you use on your computer, then sync those to the new iPhone.

Back up Assistant lost all my business contact phone numbers

Saturday My Droid 3 that had already been difficult to use because it would not keep a new phone contact and would freeze in emergencies (I am talking get an ambulance, input a doctor's number while standing in the emergency room, or in business meetings, occasions like that) started losing the screen, it would go black if I opened the keyboard and then freeze with a black screen, continuously. It would not respond to attempts to turn it off. I took out the battery for a minute and put it back in and rebooted only to have the same thing happen over and over if I tried to use an app, make a call, view picture gallery, whatever. So I took my phone to the Oklahoma City, OK Verizon Wireless Store #331769 for CUSTOMER SERVICE. I showed the sales people my frozen black screen phone and that the back was broken and was being held on only at the top and by the neoprene case. They took the battery out and put it back in and declared my problem solved and told me that my phone was like a computer and needed to be turned off once a day and kept charged. I assured them that I was aware of this and that I did turn it off and let it reset and I charged it up every night and sometimes in the day as needed. The FIRST SOLUTION was to reformat the phone which WIPED ALL INFORMATION AND APPS OFF OF MY PHONE. I let them do that and they sent me home with it to replace all my information and apps.
Now I come to find that ALL MY BUSINESS CONTACT PHONE NUMBERS ARE MISSING from using Back Up Assistant. This is critical for my work!
ALL CONTACT INFORMATION was missing on my online account! Why would that happen? I will synch what is left on my phone to my BACK UP ASSISTANT account online.
I still haven't transferred the sim card to my "replacement phone". How can I insure that I don't lose all my contact information again???
I am going to Verizon Wireless Store #331769 for CUSTOMER SERVICE directly after work. If they lose my business contact information and phone numbers, I will be forced to re-enter 200+ contacts before I leave to go out of state for work tomorrow..
Any suggestions for a positive result?
THE CUSTOMER SERVICE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!

Hello Drucatic
I'm sorry you were not able to get the contacts back. I know how irritating it would be to reload all those contacts.Were the contacts synced with the Gmail account? Please try backing it up with Gmail. Are you able to log in online at www.verizonwireless.com/myverizon ?If so, Please log in and check the trash the contacts may of accidently been moved.
Thank you

How do I get my phone numbers from my IPhone 4 to IPhone 4S

how do I get my phone numbers from my IPhone 4 to my new IPhone 4S?

Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer, or over the air with an email account that supports it. Not a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for contacts which can be lost or stolen or damaged beyond repair by being dropped, etc.
If you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, you select the same under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.
If you are syncing contacts over the air with an email account that supports it, create the account with the Mail app on your new iPhone and turn Contacts on for over the air syncing with the account settings on the iPhone.
Contacts are included with the iPhone's backup. If your iPhone is being backed up with iTunes on your computer, the first time you connect a new iPhone to iTunes on a computer being synced with another iPhone, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or set up the new iPhone as a new iPhone.

Can't use iMessage on my mac air with certain phone numbers

I've seen other postings about this topic but haven't found any resolution. I am able to use imessage for certain contacts/phone numbers from my mac air but others I can't seem to get to work. The message is -- Your message could not be sent -- xxx-xxx-xxxx is not registered with imessage. I am able to contact these numbers from my iphone but not from imessage on my Air.
If anyone has a solution please let me know.
Thanks!
HRR

Then they're probably not iPhone numbers. If your messages to those numbers are appearing in green on your phone, they're non-iPhone numbers and you can only communicate with them through regular SMS texting. Your Air cannot text in this way.

Where did my contacts phone numbers go when i backed up to the cloud?

When I backed up my iphone to the cloud my contacts phone numbers disappeared from my phone and the cloud.
Can anyone help?

Is back up and sync the same thing?
No. Syncing transfers iTunes content to your devices. Backing up stores all data (minus iTunes content) that you have on your phone, and can be loaded onto a different device or reloaded onto an existing device.
Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. Let the device power down and back up. Go through the setup screen and DO NOT select restore from iTunes backup. Instead, choose iCloud backup, sign in with your Apple ID and select the correct backup.
