Why is my iPhone called "iPhone" rather than my name ex: Cynthia's iPhone?

I recently had my iPhone 5s replaced and the replacement phone's name is just "iPhone" rather than personalized with my name, such as "Cynthia's iPhone"
As a matter of fact my old defective iPhone 5s was only referred to as "iPhone" also. If anyone knows why this is I would appreciate the help. My old backups (from my old iPhone) are still listed in iTunes and are referred to as Cynthia's iPhone, but new phone is just called iPhone?
Thanks for your help.

  • Sorting contacts on iphone by company rather than individual names

    has anyone seen an application that will sort the contacts by company name rather than the individual names?

    You can't sort your contacts by anything but name directly on the phone, but a little work on the computer can give a result that might work. I create groups in my contact manager that syncs to the iPhone. I can put people from different businesses in different groups. That way I can choose a specific group to look through, rather than all the contacts. It also works to separate out family and friends, etc. But you can't create the groups on the phone, only on the computer, and then sync them to the phone.

  • HT4314 I have tried to log into clash of clans on my iPad and it just keeps going to a new game rather than the one saved on my iPhone. I have been using the game centre and same user name and password ?

    I have tried to log into clash of clans on my iPad and it just keeps going to a new game rather than the one saved on my iPhone. I have been using the game centre and same user name and password ?

    I have the same problem.. EXACTLY. .  When phoning Apple Support they had trouble understanding my problem and couldnt find any type of solution. No one seems to take responsibility for GameCenter issues. The assistant escalated the problem but no one could find an answer. .
    The only idea was to set up a new apple id, hence a new GameCenter account. . But that would loose all the itunes data. Anyone got ideas ?

    Are you doing it thru the Settings panel or are you downloading independently thru the App Store?

  • It opens into my recent calls list rather than the home screen

    Every time I receive a call when my phone is 'asleep' the phone goes back to sleep state when the call is hung up. As it should.
    Weirdness is though…when I next wake the phone it always opens straight into my recent calls list, rather than the home screen.
    It only happens on incoming calls, and only when the call is received while the phone's asleep.
    I've done a restore (for something else) but it didn't remedy this.
    Anyone else seeing the same?

    Sure about what? That there is nothing wrong with your phone or that the OS works that way...the answer is yes to both questions. Works the same if you go into settings but let the phone go to sleep, next time you unlock your phone, you'll be in settings. If you don't want your phone to do that, hit the home button after a call.

  • In "Save As", display as "Kind" rather than by "Name"

    Hi. I have a number of users asking this question. On their Mac, when trying to "Save As", how do they get to sort the contents of the target folder by "Kind" rather than by "Name". The default way results in a muddled display of files and folders. It would be nice to Have all the folders listed, and then the file names. (See below)
    In Finder, I have this button,
    enabling me to get the desired result.
    Thank you.

    Sorry, I should have mentioned, the 'save as' is from Word, Excel etc. In Text editor, I see the Kind header, but it is just a lable, not an active column.
    It can be done in Excel also.

  • TOC based on filenames rather than heading names.

    I created a WebHelp project by linking to a FrameMaker 12 book. After first generating the output, the TOC and index were not included although they were part of the book. I click an icon in the TOC pod to generate the TOC, but the TOC is now based on filenames rather than heading names. How can I fix this?

  • Siri sometimes makes me feel like iPhone 3.99 rather than 4s...

    One of the major reasons i sold my iPhone 4 and purchased the 4s is because of siri (and i wanted a different color).  However, what i didn't know is what is bothering me.  I didn't realize that siri is dependent upon a network connection for ANY command.  For the past few days, i've felt like I downgraded rather than upgradeed...i cannot even voicedail because siri "cannot connect to the network."  Seriously???  Can't even voicedial consistently? 
    I hope apple figures out a way to roll out an update that allows voicedialing to be done from the local handset separate from siri's servers or something...this is major FAIL.

    Well, for one thing, Siri has had some service hiccups, in the last day or so, and wasn't able to connect to the network for a large part of yesterday. I think things are fine now...
    Also, Siri is in beta. Apple warned us that they would constantly be making tweaks and changes to the Siri engine, and if that means that some things don't work here and there, just know that it is because they are trying to make it 10X better.
    Sorry that you are having those problems, though. Remember, it's a beta.

  • Why does browser download a file rather than displaying it?

    I am using a Nexus 7 device. I have a website locally on the device together with all of the data files. When I use the browser to select a file it does not need to download it. I want it to call up a list of the programs that can display the file so that I can select which app to use. When I leave that app then I expect it to go back to the browser and the HTML web page I was previou. sly viewing. It has done that at various times but has stopped now. How do I get it to resume displaying the files rather than downloading them onto the same device?

  • Why use Protected Overide Sub OnPaint rather than the standard Paint_Event ?

    I notice many good programmers use this following method rather than the usual Paint_Event when painting to the form.
    Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint(e As PaintEventArgs)
    Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics
    g.SmoothingMode = Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.HighQuality
    g.InterpolationMode = Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic
    MyBase.OnPaint(e)
    End Sub
    Can anybody share the reasons why? Thanks

    OK Crazypennie, maybe you are right. I tend to rant on a bit sometimes.
    Also, maybe the jumpy graphics is made worse because the animation output is not synced with the video hardware refresh rate. We can get around that slightly by using a very high fps. 
    Hi Leon,
    I tried modifying your code using a GraphicsFrame class that I wrote a little while back, the class utilizes the bufferedcontext/bufferedgraphics, instead of using the forms graphics directly. In theory, all objects should be rendered to the buffer before
    the forms graphics object. Is this less glitchy/faster on your pc? It seemed less glitchy/faster on mine..., and previous benchmarks show that using buffered graphics in this manner improved render time.

  • [SOLVED] ls -l shows GID rather than group name

    Hi Guys,
    As the title suggests, ls -l shows GID rather than the group name. (The username is listed correctly). The groups command also shows only GIDs and not the corresponding group names.
    I have issued the pwconv, grpconv, pwck and grpck commands and these all run without error.
    What am I missing here?
    Any ideas much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks very much Celf, you were correct, the /etc/group file was only readable by root. The chmod 644 fixed it.
    Thanks again for your help, much appreciated.

  • Since update to 5.0.1 iphone contacts caller id shows email address rather than contact name and number

    Since i upgraded to 5.0.1 . My iphone contacts caller id shows email address not contact name and number. Is this a settings issue?

    Hi, it's maybe happening the same here!
    I have an iphone 3gs. Since I did the upgrade to ios5, when I receive an sms with the notification of a missed call I am no longer able to see if it's coming from a number of my contact list, because in the sms the message correspondence for that contact underlines now the number PLUS the first 2 cifres of the date! So the number results always being 2 numbers longer and it's impossible get to the original.
    That's really a major problem for me, as I'm no longer able to know who has called me, if someone I know (and who) or if a new number.
    I add a capture to explain it better (I have banned a couple of cifres for privacy reasons).
    Anyone solved the problem or can help please?
    Thank you!

  • Transfer file to iPhone with wire rather than use iTunes match

    Hi, I have iTunes match. I create DJ mixes and my own tunes so every time I want to put them on phone I have to currently:
    1. Save them to itunes
    2. Upload them to iTunes match (which takes around 43 days)
    3. Wait another 3 weeks
    4. Download them to iphone
    Now this process has slowly started to irritate the absolute sh!tters out of me especially when on my old android phone I just plugged it in and dragged them over - thus 200MB file done in less than a minute - compared to around 67 days using iPhone.
    Do I have to just turn off iTunes Match and never ever user it again? I suppose I could do this but I do quite like the facility to download any track at any time so WHY CANT I JUST F%%$KIN DRAG MY MUSIC ACROSSS FFS.
    Any help would be much appreciated, thanks

    It's ok I've [sort of] solved this, it's a bit long winded which is what I expect nowadays from Apple but at least it doesn't allow anyone to access their iPhone filesystem - god forbid.
    Basically you have to turn off iTunes match on iphone, plug in iPhone - you may have to 'set up as new iPhone' which scared me a bit as it isn't new - I 've just never plugged it in... anyway it will then start 'syncing' which scared the sh1t out of me, but it seemed to be ok. Then you can drag files from iTunes into your iPhone viola!
    I'm beginning to think iTunes Match is probably great for someone that buys all their music from iTunes and only ever listens to individual tracks/albums, but for me when I mainly listen to 2-3 hour long mixes, none of which are obviously in apples matching library - the upload speeds are just too slow.
    Still, the frustration is in the v poor iTunes interface - the fact that the progress bar gives no actual indication where it's up to or what it's doing. And another thing is when you try and import an unrecognised file format such as FLAC or AVI. OK this is frustrating in itself but ignoring the fact you can't, YOU JUST DONT GET ANY ERROR MESSAGE - NOTHING, it doesn't say sorry it can't import the file, iTunes doesn't support it. It just does NOTHING - so the obvious assumption is that it HAS ACTUALLY IMPORTED IT. And then when you go to play/view said file sometimes ages after you realise that it didn't actually import.
    These user interface errors I learned to avoid whilst writing computer programs in GCSE computing when I was 15 years old. So maybe Apple need to hire some new developers it's shocking.
    RANT OVER.

  • Merging contacts between iphone and Outlook  rather than syncing

    I want to be able to update a contact on iphone and in Outlook and when I sync I want the contacts to merge.
    At the moment they seem to sync so if I have deleted on old phone number in Outlook but it is still on iphone it reappears after the synce and vice versa.
    I want to merge so I can edit freely on both devices and on syncing be given the choice what information to accept or reject (like my Nokia E51 used to).
