Why is the name on the email different to the name in my contacts

On the top of an email may friends name is spelt wrong ie. Janey (then email address) insted of Janet (then email address).  In my contacts on my mac and my phone it is spelt correctly.  How can this be and how can i fix it.
I thought it was because she was in my contacts twice.  Once as Janey and again as Janet, but she isn't.

So check this out:

"Note: In some cases, your external display  is not fully utilized when you initially connect your external display, especially in “Mirrored” mode. This is okay if you just plan on using your external display, since the display resolution will scale to full width once the laptop lid is closed. But if you occasionally  plan on using both displays simultaneously then you need to do some tweaking to utilize the full width of the external display."
So basically you uncheck mirroring.

  • Why does the i5 add a contact to my contacts list for every person I have ever emailed?  My 4 didn't.

    Why does the i5 add a contact to my contacts list for every person I have ever emailed using Outlook and Gmail?  The i4 didn't have this issue.

    Hi drewskiiiiiiiii,
    If you are having issues with your iPhone's Contacts application acting oddly, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    Force an app to close in iOS
    Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPhone -
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

  • Why is the formatting in my Contact list screwed up?

    Why is the formatting in my Contacts list screwed up?  The State in the address list is missing and "Netherlands" is added to all of my US addresses. This occurs after I sync in iTunes, but the Contact is listed normally in Outlook.

    I am using Apple Mail.  For some reason it is working right again. Who knows why!
    Thank you for taking the time to reply to me.  Even though you didn't sollve my problem, I appreciate the effort!

  • Why do the details of Yahoo contacts get messed up?

    Many of the email addresses or phone numbers of my contacts get replaced by random numbers, completely useless when trying to further email or call.
    This happened on iOS 5 and is still happening on iOS6, really annoying.
    I wish I could back up to iCloud the correct yahoo contacts.
    Any possible way to either fix the issue with the Yahoo contacts or have the correct Yahoo contacts on the iCloud? Thanks in advance.

    Anyone helping on this?

  • Why is the picture in my contact card different from the picture in my iMessages on my MacBook Air?

    I just downloaded the iOS 8.0 on my iPhone 4s and i synced my mac with my phone. The picture in my iCloud account on my phone and on my Mac in my contact card are the same, but when I write a message from the Messages on my Mac, there is a different picture. How do I make all of the pictures the same?

    You may have a failing hard drive. But since you're running Lion, you can boot to the Recovery partition (hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting) and, once you get to the Recovery screen, use Disl Utility to verify your hard drive and, if you have errors, try to repair it. If you can't repair the hard drive, you'll know that it's time for a new one. If you can repair the hard drive, then you can try installing a 'fresh' version of Lion from the Recovery options.
    Try the Recovery partition first, and vefiry your hard drive and then call back...

  • Why is the core service "mapspushd" contacting various (web)adresses? What's that service for?

    Hello,
    my firewall notified me that the core service "mapspushd" is occasionally contacting various (web)servers for example of various "news" sites (all over the world with varying TLDs, .co.uk, .ca, .com etc.), as well as service sites, such as ebay or advertising providers? – Got to be honest that is a bit dubious.
    What is this core service for?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, i'm going to post my screenshots here too. Hope someone help us!
    Edit: By the way, running a google search about "an tacoda net" , gives back all sorts of wonderful info about it. I really hope apple has nothing to do with such malware.
    I have ran adware medic, and followed all security guides. I have no harmfull extensions, and nothing i can possibly think that can harm my mac.

  • When I send a group email why does the address bar not present the names alphabetically?

    I frequently send emails to groups.  Sometimes, for one reason or another, I want to delete one or more contacts from the list that appears in the address bar.  Why does the list not  appear in alphabetical order and is there any way that I can edit my contact lists to make it do so? It means picking through a list one by one rather than scrolling down a list to find a contact in the correct order. 

    Basically I suggest you keep using Eudora.
    Like most of those moving now, they are unlikely to be happy with anything else. But then that is to be expected, you have clung to abondonware for 5+ years after it's replacement. People that dedicated are unlikely to be happy with anything else.
    The Business standard and professionalism are not based on the Eudora way of things. I suggest you stick undisclosed-recipients: into a google search box and get instructions on how to do things for all the major mail clients.
    Of note Thunderbird displays nothing in the To field, even though the undisclosed-recipients: is inserted in the outgoing mail.
    <blockquote>
    I have tried using Bcc, and indeed, the recipients are suppressed, but not as a group. I have to change every recipient address from To: to Bcc: manually.
    </blockquote>
    Perhaps if you use the buttons at the bottom of the contact pane to add the list to BCC you would not have to manually change anything. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/addressing-email#w_selecting-the-entries-from-the-contact-pane
    I am interested however how when you added a list so it appears on multiple lines. All I see is he list name until after I press the send button and look at it in the sent folder.
    Most people use another address entirely in the to:, in conjunction with the BCC list. It verifies the list mail is sent by coming back and you can put whatever you like in the display name of the email address.

    iMessage requires both parties be using iOS 5. The iPhone 3 can not be upgraded to iOS 5, thus messages would be sent as an SMS (Text message)

  • Why is the printed font so small on a print job I send from my email to my new HP Photosmart C510

    Why is the printed font so small on a print job I send from my email to my new HP Photosmart C510? I sent it via HP ePrint from a lotus notes based email account. It was just a text message but it was so small on the print out I could not begin to read it. 
    Thanks
    Matt

    At the document you plan to print, go to "file" in upper right corner.  Select "print preview".  Atop that window, select font size.  Recommended minimum 60%.  May need to adjust with different documents.
    Good luck!

  • Why is the contact attached to voicemail different from the same contact in my contacts app?

    Why is the contact attached to voicemail slightly different from the same contact in my contacts app?

    Perhaps you have 2  or more contacts with the same phone number? If you do anything that displays the name associated with a phone number will chose at random.

  • Why is the contents of Safari's downloads folder different than the actual folder?

    Why is the contents of Safari's downloads folder different than the actual folder that resides in my users folder?

    Problem is if I delete that .plist I'll delete those downloads.  I'm still able to launch those downloads from that location so that tells that file is probably not corrupted. I need to be able to located that folder and transfer the downloads from it before I do anything like this.  So that begs the question, where is that folder located?  When I do a folder search I'm taken to a Downloads folder, but it's not the one that is showing up from within Safari as it's contents are too different.

    Err this is no longer April 1st you know.
    The iPod Shuffle has never had a 'display' on which track names can be shown. See http://www.apple.com/ipod-shuffle/ if you want an iPod which does have a display on which you can see the tracks names and even the album cover art then look instead at the bigger and more expensive iPod Nano http://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/ or iPod Touch http://www.apple.com/ipod-touch/
    PS. The current iPod Shuffle even though it has no display on which it can show the track names can read them out loud to you using a voice-synthesiser this is the VoiceOver feature described on the iPod Shuffle product page I listed above.

  • Why is the font of text fields different from document-text

    I am using forms in my pdf.
    I am inserting Text-Fields in the pdf-form.
    I set the color and size of text as the same as the document text as calibri 9.
    1) Why is the font different between the text-field and document content eventhough both are black font of size 9 and of type calibri. The font in the text-field is more gray and blurry. It doesnt look the same as the text in the rest of the document.
    2) why do the document-text font options differ from the text-field font options.
    One has only sizes with even numbers like 8, 10, 12. The other has odd numbers also. Why does the calibri font have 2 different size ranges for the text-fields and document-text/content.

    Yes you are correct, it is with the setting of the properties.
    Where do i report this then if it is not with the SDK but the manual setting of properties.
    Also, how do i alter this ussue with the SDK, what are the commands, does it have to be done only by Javascript?
