have my contacts stored on iCloud, so they sync between my iPhone and my MacBook Pro (2010 MBP running High Sierra 10.13.3). On my iPhone (iPhone 6 running iOS 11.2.2), the Messages app displays the Contact Name, however on my MacBook Pro it does not. It just displays the telephone number (including country code), or in some cases it does display 'Maybe: [Contact Name]'.
Strangely, if I go into contacts and manually edit the number so that it is the country code (e.g. +44, rather just '0'), it then displays correctly with the name. However, ideally I would like not to have to edit all of my contact numbers to include the country code. Another strange behaviour is that for contacts where I have their photo, it displays the photo next to their telephone number, so it is recognising the number as belonging to that particular contact, it is just now showing the contact name.
This issue has only occurred recently after I changed my Apple ID, and then signed out of iCloud on my MacBook Pro and then signed back in. I have tried all of the obvious solutions such as signing out and back in of iCloud on both devices.
Does anyone know how I might be able to resolve this?
Kind regards,
Russell
