When I upgraded my iPhone, my contact list was scrambled, some listed by first names, some my last. Seri cannot understand my accent. I want my contacts listed by first names.
I'm using iTunes 10.6.1.7 and OS5 on my iPhone4. Whenever I create a playlist in iTunes and sync the two together, the iPhone alwaysalphabetizes the playlist, rather than keeping it in the arranged order I created in iTunes. I've read archived replies to a similar situation in 2007, where the problem was based on iTunes 7. Now, we're nearly 5 years and multiple versions later and the same problem still occurs. What gives? What's the use of taking the time to create a nice playlist on one medium only to have the second one screw up all your work?
while texting, some of my names on contacts changed into just their numbers. they are also gone in my contact list. did a hrad reset and nothing changes.
Check under Settings > iCloud to see if the Contacts switch is ON (green side showing). If it's already on, switch it off for 30-60 seconds, then back on again. Your contacts should start showing up shortly...
The names of contacts from iphone does not appear in the recent calls, only numbers. I think the settings are different, eg, the numbers appear in the contacts: (333) 333-3333 and the recent calls appears :3333-3333.
All my contacts disappeared, they arent in my contacts. The ones left in my favourites and in my messages only display the numbers. I have tried a lot of things and nothing has worked. This is EXTREMELY frustrating, almost at the point of ditching apple. (I have a 4s)
My IPhone4S occasionally changes names on received mail to telephone numbers, it also deletes any names that were in Contacts - if I change an email back to a name that Contact is not lost
I have very strange problem with my Blackberry phones ( Bold 9900 and Torch 9800) - when somebody is calling me , I see the number, but I cannot see the name. I am sure that I do not have duplicate contacts - two contacts and one phone number.
I have a BB Curve 8530, and I have read a lot about this issue. Most people need to just change the "Content Protection" , however I can't even find that option in the options list. It is not in the security options either.
When I receive text messages from contacts saved with names in my phonebook, the messages don't display with their names. They do appear like those messages are from new contacts which are not saved in my phonebook.How may I rectify this problem?
I recently purchased an xperia ray to which I moved my old SIM from SE K700i. The SIM had many contacts with multiple phone numbers (mobile number, house number.etc) under a single name, but when I viewed it on xperia ray , it shows duplicate names but with different numbers under the Mobile category. Is there a way to merge these names and bring all the different numbers into Mobile, House, Others etc under one name.I searched and found some answers for "Merging" but all were referring to merging different names with common phone numbers, but what I need is just the opposite. If there is already a discussion and solution to this , please give the reference.
I have an at&t Galaxy s5 and last week I updated to 4.4.4, since then I can't add emojis to any of my contacts names. Any of my old contacts who had emojis still do but I cannot edit and add more or create contacts with emojis. I'm not sure why but if there's a solution that would be great! Also, I'm using SwiftKey keyboard.
I realise there are several similar threads about names not displaying with the incredible s, but I can't seem to find one that deals with my issue specifically.All my contacts were stored and displaying correctly, then I changed service provider.In the changeover, now NO contact names display (although all my contacts are saved).like everyone, there are some people I'd like to either ignore / defer talking to
I'll add 2 of the same song to a playlist and don't notice it until it's inconvenient to remove one of the copies(ie driving a car or riding my bike)...is there a way to alphabetize the playlist (or any other way to keep this from happening)?
It's not displaying names of the contacts in message folder but instead is displaying ONLY numbers. This is creating difficulty for me to go back in contacts and see which person is sending SMS.
With previous Nokia phones I have been able to create names against phone numbers, necessary when I may have 6 or more phone numbers for one contact.
It seems impossible to do this with the E7-00, so I now have a list of phone numbers per contact and no way of telling the difference between each number.
Despite several phone calls to HTC and my network provider, they can't solve the problem with my phone.
My Wildfire was replaced last week with the Wildfire S following a series of software issues. For some reason, only some of my contacts names & facebook links are showing in my SMS inbox - I'm just getting their phone number. It's not all the contacts, but a growing number leaving me with a string of unidentified phone numbers...
I've tried completely deleting a contact and putting it back in; waiting for them to text and adding to contacts; I've triple checked the numbers... I've exported, imported... and run out of options!! All those with problems worked before on my old phone, and as I say it's not all the contacts.
My network says it's HTC, HTC says it's my phone (on contract from Network)
It is showing wrong numbers when I search for contact name in the contacts. It shows the wrong number but under the name I am searching for. 3-4 times I called wrong person because my bold showed and dialed a different number for the name I am searching for. I don't know how to solve this.When I type the name of the contact I'm looking for my Bold 9000 displays the list of contacts as usual but the phone number of the contact is wrong. I have to scroll to another name on the list then scroll back to the name I was looking for in order to get the phone to display the correct phone number. I have been using this phone for quite some time and had always worked fine. This problem began yesterday. I do not sync the phone (never have, probably never will). I have not made any changes or added any software. The only thing I have done recently is added more contacts.I have also noticed that it is slower than usual when searching for names and it takes a long time for it to recognize that I have typed more charcters in the contact name before updating the list of results.
I Recently bought a Sony Ericsson Elm and transfered all my old numbers across from my w810, however it now lists/sorts them by surname: name E.g. David Jones now appears as Jones:David/M Is there any way to change the appearance of my contacts so that it is displayed and sorted by 1st name instead of last name.
So Im new to the site and am in desperate need of a solution to keep the peace at my house. Its the weirdest thing on min her phone will show all of her contacts when she goes to check her text. In a matter of less than 5 mins the names will disappear and it will just show numbers. She puts the phone down and picks it back up later and its magic her contact names will show up with the messages. At no time do the contact names disappear from her actual address book tho.
I'm going to pre-order the iPhone 4, but my mother is going to use her credit card to do it, just so it is insured. I want to know if I can then go in and pick it up from my local Apple Store on the 24th, if the pre-order is in her name? I live in the U.K.
