Adding photos to Contacts

Apologies if this is the easiest question in the world for everyone, but I'm stumped.  I'm trying to add a .jpg image, which is sitting on my Desktop, to a friend whose details are in Contacts.
The contact's card is open, and I've pressed the "edit" button at the bottom left of the card.  At this time the picture icon, to the left of the person's name, changes to a picture icon with the word "Edit" at the bottom of it. 
But, when I try to drag the .jpg file onto the icon, nothing happens. The photo isn't accepted by Contacts.
When I double-click on the icon (the one with the word "Edit" at the bottom of it) nothing happens. Right-clicking does nothing either.
What am I doing wrong? Or is what I am trying to do not possible?
If it's the latter, I'm surprised - such an obvious fail seems hard to imagine for a company that prides itself on software usability.
Help welcomed, please!
Doug

When you press edit on the icon, do you get this screen?

  • Apparent Bug:  Adding photo to Contacts

    I was editing a contact and noticed an apparent bug:
    Go to Contacts --> Select a Contact (one without an assigned picture) --> Click "edit" --> Click add photo --> Select the option "Take photo" --> Take a photo.
    Even after selecting use photo, it will not be added to your contacts. The contact will still show no photo. Additionally, the photo will not be added to your photos album or anything. New bug?

    I have noticed this issue and and off throughout the history of my various iPhones. In iOS 4 it is certainly there, but I am honestly unsure if this is a bug with the OS, or something that is in my backups that just continues to manifest as I update/transfer my iPhone to new ones each year.
    While I applaud that I have been able to do that and the relative stability, it would be GREAT if I could carry forward application data, yet delete other settings. I'd really like to start my iPhone over (as in, set it up as new and just transfer my apps and their data back to the phone,) but it is really an all or nothing proposition.
    Have any of you had this issue after a reset of the iPhone? Are we all people who have carried our phone images forward? Would be curious to know...

    What instructions?

    You don't import photos from the iPhone to your computer using iTunes.
    See this -> iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    Note this only applies to photos taken with the iPhone. Any photos you previously added to your iPhone using iTunes should be copied from old computer to new computer.

  • Can I set "use facebook photo" for contacts by default?

    When I edit a contact's photo, I can choose "use facebook photo" from the available options if there is a facebook profile linked to the contact.  Is there a way to do this across ALL contacts, without having to edit each of my 300  contacts individually?
    The issue I'm having is that old facebook photos from contacts added in iOS 5 are not updating anymore because the old photo stays as the contact's primary photo from the last time it was synced prior to facebook integration.
    Thanks,
    PShag.

    Select it in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.

  • When adding or deleting contacts on my iphone, contacts get added or deleted on another iphone as well?!

    So I have an iPhone 4S and my mom has an Iphone 4. Recently we discovered that whenever we add or delete contacts from her or my phone, they get added or deleted in both our iPhones. So for example: When I add a friend to my contacts, it gets added to her contact list as well. When I delete one of my contacts, it gets deleted from her contact list as well! I think it has something to do with having synced her iphone once on my laptop using my itunes but her phone doesn't have my apps, photos, or music so I don't get how this is happening. Does anyone know how to stop this?

    You are logged into icloud on the same account.
    Go to settings>icloud  and either "delete account" (which signs you out of that account on that device) or just turn contacts off
    I would recommend one of you create your own account specifically for use with icloud.
    Again you can access your icloud settings by going to settings>icloud

  • I added photos of our company's products to the Goods App for our sales team to use as an electronic catalog.  Some of the pictures display perfectly.  Others are blury.  How can I fix this?

    I added photos of our company's products to the Goods App for our sales team to use as an electronic catalog.  Some of the pictures display perfectly.  Others are blury.  How can I fix this? I Googled pixel size for Ipads and checked this size against the blury photos.  They seem to be less than the max pixels allowed.  Must be another solution????

    Ged,
    whilst generally I agree with you a question (or two) for clarification so we can be sure we're not comparing apples with oranges
    I'm not familiar with O2's product lineup but given you're on Annex M is that a business package?
    Are you on an Infinity residential or business package?
    On the subject of the offshore support teams my experience from the other sife of the fence is that many, many of them are very technically orientated. The problem is that the ISPs they work for don't give them access to many of the tools that are needed (they need to raise internal requests to even get line checks done in some cases) and also they are very heavily scripted & monitored in what they do/say on a call.
    Sounds like O2 are operating as a contact centre rather than as a call centre which is much more preferable from the customers point of view.
    DISCLAIMER: although I work in the industry I do not work for BT and any opinions given are purely my own.

  • App for taking photo for contact

    I would like to use iPhone 4 taking a photo with new friend and put it into contact. I am wondering if there is any app to make the whole process simpler. Thanks!

    Sorry, I believe I did not clearly describe the issue. The current method is quite simple and I love it. So far, I have not added any photo in my contact yet but want to do so from now on. It is very useful for some friends who meet once a year or two years. The camera captures 5m photo but for such small photo. It should scale down the size in order to save the file size. Currently, I have over 700 contacts in the database. If I put photo in contact, I am unsure if it will impact the performance of the phone and occupies huge space. The other issue is to crop the head only for such small space provided for the photo in contact. Of course, I can do it manually but take time and is inconvenient. If there is an app that can have a small frame for the photo space in contact, that would be great.

  • I just backed up my 3gs iphone using itunes.  All my photos and contacts have disappeared from my phone.  I am unable to locate them on my computer.  HELP!!!

    I just backed up my 3gs iphone using itunes.  All my photos and contacts have disappeared from my phone.  I am unable to locate them on my computer.  HELP!!!

    OK, I understand.  Try this ... it's much safer.  It will simply restore your backup, but not do anything to your iOS:
    While your iPhone is plugged in to iTunes, right click on the iPhone icon on the left side of the iTunes display.
    Choose "Restore from backup ..." from the pop-up menu that appears.
    Again, what this will do is place that backup back on your iPhone without changing iOS.  So you should be very confident in the backup contents before doing this.

  • I have added photos to My Photo Stream on my PC (Windows 7). They appear in the Uploads folder instead. They do not upload to iCloud. Am I doing something wrong?

    Unfortunately, photo stream on a PC is iffy at best.  Many people have problems getting it to work properly, including myself.  A work around would be to use an app like PhotoSync on your PC, which can send photos wirelessly to the camera roll on any of your iOS devices on the same wifi network.  Once in the camera roll, you iOS device will be added to your photo stream.

  • Lenevo K900: Problem with display of photos of contacts

    Hi
    I bought a new K900. Initially it showed the photos in my contacts (after syncing with gmail, what'sapp etc). But, a friend of mine by mistake did some setting change, and it is no more displayed. I've tried to look at all possible manueverings with the settings options in 'Contacts' but I am not able to display the photos of contacts.
    Request you all to please share if there is any solution to this problem.
    Thanks.Vikram

    Thanks. I will try. But, I am curious what happened to my phone, and what can be to reset it right without any app.

  • Photos and contacts will not sync from iCloud to iPhone

    Hi Everyone
    I have an iPhone 4 with the latest iOS (5.1.1), and have had to restore my phone due to sluggish response from the device, however I have had problems when setting up my phone again.
    When the phone was restored and I wanted to restore a backup, it said the latest backup was from 10/12/2011 (I'm assuming this was the last time I backed up to iTunes). The issue I have is all my photos and contacts are on iCloud (last updated 25/05/2012, it clearly says this on my device under iCloud section). I have looked about to try and find a way to get this information back onto my iPhone but have not had any luck.
    Can someone please help me find out how to get my photos and contacts from iCloud back onto my iPhone, having no contacts is a real pain! If anyone can help it would be really appreiciated!
    MESSAGE TO APPLE: Your support is a complete joke, why should I have to pay for your assistance on clear design flaws with iCloud and its ability to sync with iOS enabled devices. Also you should really consider allowing people to download their photos / contacts via iCloud.com

    me again everyone, I've managed to find my contacts on my iPhone. When I look under the contacts app it just says "no contacts", but if I look at the contacts tab via Phone they all appear, weird bug.
    Still problems with my photos though

  • TS4036 I have backed up my phone to icloud, photos, music, contacts, but now most of my contacts don't show up on my actual phone, and all I have on the text is a phone number instead of the person's name. What happened?

    I am new to the icloud, and I have a question. I have backed my phone up to icloud, with photos, music, contacts, etc. but now most of my contacts have disappeared on my actual phone, and when someone sends me a text, just a phone number shows up instead of their names. What happened? How do I get all of my contacts back on my phone?

    Do you see all your contacts on a computer at...

  • Adding external mail contacts to a distribution group seems to randomly add the user instead of the mail contact

    I've added a external mail contact for all my mailbox users because all the users have other jobs and other external email addresses.  Since these users don't normally log on to my domain to get email, I need to create a distribution list with all their
    external email addresses.  I've scripted the creation of all the external mail contacts, from the mailbox users and I use AD's Notes field to contain the users external address. When using add-DistributionGroupMember and supplying the external mail
    contact email address as the "-Member" param, about half of the time the users mailbox user gets added to the group instead of the external contact.  I don't see any arguments to tell add-DistributionGroupMember to use only mail contacts.
    1) I don't even know how it's finding the mailbox user because I'm supplying an external email address which is only in the external mail contact.
    2) Some members of the group are correctly added as external contacts, some are mailbox users.
    3) I only want the external mail contacts in the group
    If it helps, here's the line that I use to add members to the group. I've tried mail enabling the mail contacts, no help...
    Add-DistributionGroupMember–identity“AltEveryone”–member(get-QADuser$_.Name).Notes 
    Thanks for any help.

    You should ask questions like this in the Exchange forum.  It is not a scripting question but is a product behavior question.
    You cannot add an external contact without first creating the contact first.
    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • HT4236 If i had all of the photos and contacts backed up in my itunes but no longer have me iphone I how can I recover them?

    if i had all of my photos and contacts backed up on my apple account, but no longer have my iphone how do i recover them?

    Your question topic says you have all your photos backed up in iTunes. If so they are on your computer. When you get your new phone you can sync those photos from your computer to your phone.

  • Adding photos to an album whilst zoomed in on the photo

    I'm creating a few albums (first time, I've always worked in the Events, but need a little more flexibility) and when I'm adding photos I can easily drag them to the album name on the left when looking at the thumbnails in the event, but after double clicking and viewing them zoomed to fill the frame I have to back out of it and then drag the thumbnail in.
    Is there a way to do this from the zoomed in photo to save this step?

    If you remove the flag it doesn't delete the photo, just removes it from the smart Flagged album.
