Adding pictures to contacts in mountain lion

I'm having issues getting picture to contacts in mountain lion. Any help?

Same here. It seems like I can add only the standard OS X avatars, or any "Faces" I've tagged of the person in iPhoto. I can't just pick a jpeg as my image. The iPhoto Faces option would be less aggravating if manually adding/editing a Face in iPhoto wasn't so buggy.

How do I sync Office 2011 for Mac with Contacts under Mountain Lion?

How do I sync Office 2011 for Mac (Outlook) contacts with Contacts under Mountain Lion (or iOS6)? Outlook doesn't seem to have moved on from iSync, and meddling seems to produce unpredictable results.

You can't. Microsoft have not added support for the industry standard sync protocols iCloud uses.

Can I use Facebook integration with Mountain Lion without adding all my Facebook contacts to my contacts in Mountain Lion?

I wanted to post a picture from email straight to Facebook.... Mountain Lion asked if I wanted to add all my Facebook contacts to my Contacts app... Do I need to do that? I'd like to keep that separated...

Yes, you can keep your facebook contacts out of your contacts app.
Open system preferences>mail, contacts, and calendars>(your facebook account)>contacts
There should be a check box for contacts, if you uncheck it, your facebook contacts/friends should not end up in your contacts app.
I'm not 100% sure, sorry, I don't have facebook integration activated on my Mac.

How can I drag a photo into a contact in Mountain Lion Contacts?

I used to be able to go to a person's web site and drag his/her picture into a contact in AddressBook. In Mountain Lion it AddressBook is now called Contacts. When creating a new contact, the picture field still shows up, and dragging a photo (in this case a jpg from a web page) into the field still shows the green plus sign. But then nothing happens. Clicking on the picture field just reveals the same dialogue as the one when creating ones own picture/icon.
Looks like a bug.

Thanks, that helped. It turns out dragging a web picture to Mail and then to Contacts also woks. I guess my question becomes then, why is it not possible to directly drag a picture into Contacts -- like it used to be?
Also, all contact pictures are now also getting entered into the list of "Recents" across all contacts, including my own, and including "Recents" when selecting an account picture.
That's clearly broken compared to how it used to be in Lion where there was a distinction of (recent) pictures for oneself and pictures for other contacts.

Cannot change account picture after upgrading to Mountain Lion.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard I cannot change account picture anymore.
The box which is supposed to contain picture previews just says "No items".
Screenshot attached:
This is not limited to a particular account, trying to change the picture within any account leads to this problem.
Is there any solution for the issue?
Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the answer.
Sure I can drag a photo to the users profile and it works but those Default ones were quite useful for having no mess with setting custom picture.
MacBook Pro with same Snow Leopard -> Mountain Lion upgrade did not have such issue.

Syncing contacts between Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard?

One of my computers is running Mountain Lion, and the other is running Snow Leopard and so does not have access to iCloud. Is there any way to sync Contacts between the two computers?

    I am not sure why you can't access iCloud, using a browser? Then you have the same address book, so long as you are connected to the internet. https://www.icloud.com/
    No email involved. From the browser, you can download individual iCards or all of the individual cards, BUT unfortunately, not the Groups. So, you have to fiddle on the SL machine with keeping the groups organized.
    Up until recently, I have been able to sync Contacts from ML (which stays synced to iCloud) to SL this way: copy the /Users/~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ folder from the ML computer to the SL computer by dragging the icon onto the dock's AddressBook icon, this should retain all the group info. But, recently, this has ceased being complete.
    Apple really left us behind on this one.

Connect Contacts on Mountain Lion as on iOS 6.0

Isn't it possible to connect several Contacts (like an iCloud and an Facebook) on Mountain Lion to just one Contact like on the iPhone?
I've connected them all on my iPhone, but on my Mac not everyone is connected. Just a few.
But I do not find any way to do this on Contacs on Mountain Lion. It is very annoying to see each person 3 times, iCloud, Facebook and a Work Group.
Thanks

Ok, you're going to have to use a different term, then. Merge means combine the info on two cards into one card.
Where exactly do you see the information that you want "merged."
Say you are looking at one Contact, you obviously see some other contact, somewhere, that you want to somehow relate to the one. Can you fill in the details of the somewhere, somehow.
How is that information "merged" on iOS 6. Where do you see that information? How is it combined?

Adding picture to contacts

Hi only just received my z2 but I am having problems assigning pictures to contact the picture as the correct orientation in my album but when I try to assign it it comes up to be cropped on its side and I can't fined out how to rotate the image .i have even tried to the option of take a picture it's still flips the picture on its side.

I tried with me and don't have problem. After chosing the picture in my album I got next step i.e. crop picture. Here you can move "blue square" which helps you to put in centere what you want. After that just confirm Crop button and the picture is assigned to contact.

Adding eject toolbar icons in Mountain Lion

how can I add the eject icon in Mountain Lion's toolbar?

Add an Eject Item to the Menu Bar
Open a Finder window and navigate to /System/Library/Core Services/ Menu Extras.
Double-click the Eject.menu item in the Menu Extras folder.
Once it's there, you can command-drag it to where you want it.

Why can't i use my flagged pictures in sreensaver with mountain lion

in the previous OS i was able to sellect my flagged pics in iphoto to use in my screensaver also it would put a diffrent pic on my two screens. Now with mountain lion i can't figure out how to do either of these things. Has anyone elce had this issue?

Apple appears to have significantly changed the Screen Savers tab in System Preferences. I was able to select the Flagged smart album (or any other iPhoto album for that matter) by selecting the type of slideshow (from the 'Slideshow' section). Then selected the "Source" popup menu box, selected "iPhoto Library..." then selected the Flagged (or whatever iPhoto album/event you want). Then select the "Choose" button and you are done.

I just downloaded and installed mountain lion on my macbook pro but it didn't change the picture on desktop to mountain lion in is still snow leopard is that supposed to be that way.

I just downloaded and installed mountain lion but it kept snow leopard on my screen is that supposed to happen or did i miss something?

Then you're good to go. Updating your OS doesnt change your desktop background, you can do that manually, if you wish.

How to edit your profile picture in OS X Mountain Lion?

I am trying to edit my picture in System Preferences > Users & Groups
Default obviously shows you the stock photos. Recents, shows you recents... and camera allows you to take a new photo now and use photobooth style effects.
How can I... use a photo on my Mac... one of my photos like you used to be able to?

On way (there may be others) is to save the picture you want to use to your desktop and simply drag it onto your existing pic is User & Groups Prefs.

How to delete facebook contacts on mountain lion

I just updated to 10.8.2 which has facebook built in to the operating system. This synced all of my facebook contacts with my mac. I do not want certain facebook contacts in my contacts. Is there any way that I can remove them without unsyncing my facebook with icloud and mountainlion?

Well this can be done by going into system settings and then internet accounts. In the left panel click on your facebook account and then you will see an option to uncheck contacts. This will remove all facebook contacts. Also if you want to delete the one by one, just go into your contacts and delete them one at a time.
Here is a video that shows you how to do it if you are a visual learner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaCV9SkQGiM

How to sync calendars and contacts between ios 3.1.3 and Mountain Lion?

I have a 1st generation iPod touch under iOS 3.1.3 and a MacBook Pro under Mountain Lion 10.8.3 with iTunes 11.0.1.
Since the upgrade to Mountain Lion syncing calendars and contacts between the iPod Touch and the Mac no longer works.
I don't want my personal information in Apple's or anybody else's Cloud and anyway iOS 3.1.3 can't use Apple's Cloud.
So I can no longer sync without a) replacing my iPod Touch which itself works perfectly well and does not need replacing and b) using Apple's Cloud which I do not wish to use for personal data.
This is a MAJOR AND DAMAGING step backwards by Apple, which they should correct IMMEDIATELY if they wish to keep their increasingly fed-up older customers.
Time-wasting work-around:
As I never trust operating system upgrades to not destroy something that "just works", I have Snow Leopard still on another bootable partition on my machine, and Lion on a bootable partition on an external Thunderbolt disc.
In order to sync, I backup Calendars and Contacts under Mountain Lion under which I do all my normal work, switch to either Snow Leopard or Lion, update iCal and Address Book from the backup files saved under Mountain Lion, sync the iPod Touch, and switch back to Mountain Lion.
Lots of time wasted with 2 successive re-boots, but at least HERE IS A SOLUTION THAT WORKS - I have seen lots of posts protesting bitterly about this totally unacceptable backwards step - what on earth do Apple hope to gain from this? More sales of newer equipment to replace perfectly functioning older ones? Certainly not from many of us.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Can't recall which I used to do the dynamic repartitioning.
I'm betting that it was originally Partitioned with Snow Leopard.
As a test I just added a second Partition with Mountain Lion to a FireWire HD and it would not let me Install Snow Leopard from my System or Retail Disc into the Partition.
