Messages: display contact photo/initials instead of names

I use Messages on my MacBook Pro, El Capitan 10.11.4.  Until yesterday, the conversation on the left side of the window list of the full names, photos and first words of the most recent conversation.  Now it displays only a circle with the initials of contact or a photo.  I think that I initiated the change to 'slide' and by changing a setting.  How can I change the first name + the first words of the conversation?

Thank you very much!

Try quitting the application, then re open.

  • Contact photos not appearing is not in the list of text messages

    Recently, I deleted all my contacts on my droid x in order to refresh my facebook contact photos (I do this since we all know the phone doesn't seem to update the photos themselves, as it should).  After importing my contacts back on my phone and set up my facebook account, once again, I've linked contacts that does not automatically link and now everything seems good.

    Here's where I noticed the problem.  Now pictures of my contacts are not at all in my application of message text (SMS GO).  I checked the application of the default text and they appear in there, but not in GO SMS. So I tried to uninstall GO SMS, wiping the cache on the phone and reinstalling GO SMS, but the images still do not appear.  It just shows the default avatar next to the name.

    Someone at - it suggestions that I could try to get the images to load into GO SMS?

    It's a very good theory.  To test this, you could install an application called SyncMyPix that queries your Facebook account to take photos and make them peak of gmail.  If your text app, then updates that your theory is right.  I hope this helps.

  • Is if possible to group files by name and display for each letter instead of "A - H"?

    Is if possible to group files by name and display for each letter instead of "A - H"?

    Hello

    I don't think that there is a way to group all the numbers/letters individually.

    Grouping like this would appear likely several empty sections, since not all files will have file names that begin with all 26 letters.

    There are several ways that you can view the files by name, for example, list, details, category, etc.

    I've contacted the developers Android wear and got a little more information.

    It turns out that it is a problem with the application Google Hangouts is hard-coded. For those that care here is the answer I received from Wayne Piekarski:

    "The app Hangouts was previously using setLargeIcon since it is what the Notification API provided previously. Now that they have updated so that it uses setBackground() to Android, and a future update will push this. »

    Thus, it seems that we just have to wait and Hangouts team will take care of that with an update. Maybe it's something to talk to other developers if you notice the same error.

    b. change the display «Détails»

    c. right-click on the 'name' column header, click on "First name", then click on 'Last Name'

  • Where are the files of Windows Mail messages and contacts stored in Windows 7?

    I backed up a Windows 7 system and restored to factory State by doing a restore of the system because the system has been seriously infected by viruses.  I couldn't do the export before the system recovery.

    Now, given the Windows 7 system restore brand new I am trying to restore Windows Mail account.  In fact, I can't tell if it was a front window Mail or Windows Live Mail.  I don't know if the locations of the files for messages and contacts of these two letters are different.

    When I go to c:\users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\, I don't see Windows Live Mail but Windows Mail.  So does that mean it was a Windows Mail system not a before Windows Live Mail System.  I copied the files saved in Windows Mail system on the same path directory in the newly recovered system, but it doesn't seem to make a difference when I open Windows Live Mail, which is the only e-mail program on the newly recovered Windows 7 system.

    Can someone confirm the locations of the files to messages and contacts, Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail in the operating system Windows 7 home.  Can I just copy the files on?  With Outlook 2007 and 2010, she usually works if I simply copy the files or import from the saved file.  Also should which file names be so that I can easily identify them?  Are the mail accounts and password setup to re - enter as Outlook 2007/2010 or are stored in the files I can simply copy to the new system?

    Windows Live Mail is supported in this forum

  • Display contact Quirk.

    I'm curious to know if anyone has had this problem. When displaying contacts in a Web of campaign stage I went from the view to the customer CRM view to get the most relevant fields, but I noticed that if I try and sort the view, it creates the following error message:

    Eloqua_10.png

    Just curious as to why this is happening in the CRM view, and if anyone else has encountered this?

    Greg - it sounds like it could be a bug, so I recommend signing a deal with the support so that they can look at the backend of your instance to locate the problem.

    Thank you

  • Browser will not display my photos or images

    I just activated my Motorola triumph yesterday, and everything has been works perfectly... except for the graphics/pictures in the internet browser. It does not display my photos or images, even when it shows that the page has "fully loaded." Graphics/photos work very well through the Facebook app and other apps, just not the browser. I've only tried simple solutions, like its rebooting, but I was not able to make it work.

    Anyone has any ideas for troubleshooting?

    Ok.
