Address Book Picture Sizes

Is there any way to make the Address Book pictures a little bigger? I know you can zoom in on the picture, but those thumbnails are so tiny I can barely see who it is, and it often gets distorted by focusing on a twinkle in the eye that makes it look like they have no pupil, and that sort of thing. Any way of making the picture bigger?

Not at present. Suggest it to the developers. (OS X Feedback)

Can't change my Address Book picture??

Does anyone know how I can change my Address Book picture? I drag a photo I want to the current vcard pic, and the edit window opens up and I adjust the zoom and everything, but when I click "Set" the old picture is still there.
I've tried changing this on my iMac and on my iBook and the same thing happens (old picture remains).
Anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Click on your card, choose Address Book>Card>Clear Custom Image...then Address Book>Card>Choose Custom Image.

Address book pic size

Hi all, Recently I bought an ipod touch mainly to have easy access to my address book. Customers in particular. What I want to do is attach a picture of the equipment I work on in my address book entry. I know how to do that but my question is what is the minimum size I can use and still get a good image. I can resize by pixels if that helps your answer. I want the minimum so as not to clog up the ipod memory or the macs for that matter. No reason to use a 500k pic that is sized down to postage stamp.
Thanks!

They get sized down to about 50x60 pixels.

How to have address book pictures show when ringing

I have a photo assigned to almost every contact in my address book on my imac which has synced with my contacts on my iphone. When they call me, why doesn't their picture show up on my iphone?

all figured out

Address book picture contacts

When I back up my address book to transfer between home and work computers it loses all the pictures. Where are they stored? Is there a way to make them backup along with the actual contact details?
Thanks!

All Address Book data, including the images, is kept in (user)>Library>Application Support>Address Book. If you copy this entire folder to the other computer everything will come over.

Syncing address book pictures

I can sync everything fine with my new iphone, but I can't sync the pictures. What gives?
How do I get this to work? Thanks in advance.
Greg

Hello,
Are you using Apple's Address Book?
If yes, try this: open Address Book --> click Preferences --> click the tab called Vcard --> click "Export photos in Vcards".
Hope this helps!

When does your Address Book picture show up to correspondents?

In the Accounts pane of System Preferences is either a picture of us, taken when we initiated the computer or a stock picture, butterfly etc. which is also in the "My Card" of our Address Book.
When using Mail, when do these show up to our correspondents and can we choose to include the picture or not?

They do not - they are a local display only

Address Book Pictures

I thought it was awesome that my 5g 30gb ipod displayed my address book contact pictures. When I performed a sync and and looked through the contacts on the ipod I found all of my pictures had uploaded but some, more like most of them had errors in them. The top three quarters of the picture is fine but the last quarter horizontally is is gray bars. What is going on? I erased the contacts and started over again but the same thing happened. My pictures in the address book app are fine. What,s going on?
TiBook Mac OS X (10.4.3)

hello,
i have the same problem and can't find a fix for it. has some one a good hint?
greetings

Address book pictures don't sync with iPhone?

I have contact photos in my Address book on my laptop that I would like to transfer to my iPhone. I've tried several things like changing the photos and contact details to try and enable my iPhone to see the contact change and transfer the info but to no avail. I've tried to force sync in iTunes. Not sure why the pics don't transfer. Any suggestions?

Figured it out... You have to double click the image in Address book (on computer) to edit the photo. Then force sync with iPhone. Then they will show on iPhone. And then... if you want the images on the iPhone to show up large when someone calls. You have to go in and edit the image on your iPhone contacts- set the photo. And finally after all that... you get sync pics with Address book.

Use Address Book contact pictures on other mobile / cell phones

Hi,
Unlike most people I'm going to wait a while before getting an iPhone, so is there a way of getting the pictures of your contacts onto another phone?
I have a Sony Ericsson k800i. I have found the pictures under Library/Apllication Support/Address Book/Pictures. I have copied them to a folder on my desktop. I have added a .jpg extension to all images and even renamed them to something simpler.
I then transfered this folder to my phone expecting to be able to see the images on the phone, but no, the phone recognises them as pictures but they don't show, the only image that appears is the Apple logo that came in the address book.
What's going on? I can see the images in the folder on the desktop but not on the phone, does the phone's images have to be a certain size?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Iestyn

There was another thread on this, and I posted incorrect advice on it, but now I can't find the thread. Someone pointed out my error, but it was so late at night when I saw it, I didn't respond at the time - so whoever you were - yes, you were right!
Yes, I agree with you, doesn't seem to work as well as on, for example, my old N80.
I haven't found a solution either.
Not that that helps you, of course, but at least you know you are not missing something - or conversely, several of us are missing something!

Address Book will not open after 10.3.9 update (plus others)

I've seen some close postings on this but not exactly:
Doing maintainance on someone's iBook 900 mhz, 640 RAM, and did a boatload of updates after running Main Menu Batch scripts. I tested all apps afterwards and Address Book turned from normal to generic icon when I tried to open it.
Here's a few items:
Ran several tests, permissions, reinstalled Combo update to no avail
Address Book does open within Email app
Not Font Book issue
Address Book says size is 561K(?) in Info, and has only one address in it
Tried and failed moving preference plist file out
I'm not sure if this was working before I ran updates, but assume the mass of updates hosed it.
Thanks in advance if you have any insights. Would like to return it in close to working order.

Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, use Pacifist to reinstall Address Book from the Panther installation disks.
Finally, if the version of the system software on your installation disks is earlier than what you're using now (and only in that case), then you must also reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you're using, to bring the Address Book application back in sync with the rest of the system:
Mac OS X 10.3.9 Combo Update
You may also want to read the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

Address Book's window moves down 3 pixels every time you start the app.

I want to confirm that this is not an isolated issue and to make a bit more noise because Apple didn't fix this in the 10.5.3 update. The problem is that the Address Book's window moves down 3 pixels from it's previous position every time you start the app. This only happens if the Address Book window is sized vertically larger than minimum. Now, each time you quit and start Address book it will reposition it's window 3 pixels down. After some time and many Quit/Starts your window will end up at the bottom of your screen and even size itself down to vertical minimum. If you have it positioned so that the bottom of the window protrudes off the screen then it will continue until it reaches the top bar of the window. It's not a serious bug I know. But, for the way I use Address Book it's annoying to have to reposition it's window to align with my other apps which I have open aligned/arranged at startup. It's just that all the other Leopard apps don't do this. Maybe it's a feature added to avoid patent infringement. Who knows! Apple I know you have bigger fish to fry but would you please clean this up.
To test first start Address Book and size your Address Book window vertically larger than its smallest size. Now repeatedly quit and start the Address Book application. Watch your Address Book window migrate down 3 pixels from it's previous position every time you start. Have fun, watching Address Book falls from grace. Good thing it doesn't migrate off screen completely!

Hey! It works! Nice catch
Gee, now if the rest of Leopard would work properly they would even have the time to fix this

Can't restore address book from Desktop Software 6.0.0.43

To my regret, I had to do a security wipe in order to activate my Blackberry 8830 (World Edition) with my company's BES. (I had used BES in the past with a different company.)
Now, I'm trying to do a custom restore of address book contacts and memos from a backup file ("Blackberry 8830.ipd") using Desktop Software 6.0.0.42
I see that I have 269 address book entries and 2 memos in the restore window, so I assume that the backup file has not been corrupted.
When I click "Restore," I do not get any error messages, but no contacts appear in my Phone Book after I get the successful restore confirmation -- except for the generic Customer Care entry which I had retrieved from my Phone SIM card.
I am aware of Issue DT755153 from http://docs.blackberry.com/en/smartphone_users/deliverables/18351/BlackBerry_Desktop_Software-Releas...
Could a permissions or synch setting on my company's BES be the cause of my address book restore problem? I'm not sure if understand the full implications of DT755153. I am afraid of doing a full restore because I don't want to mess with my BES activation.
Can I manually change/delete a setting in the Service Book that would allow me to complete my restore?
Other Notes:
1) I have checked my address book database size after each restore and it's still 1KB (that 1 record).
2) I have checked for other contacts on my phone SIM card.
3) I have not switched phones or devices.
4) I tried rebooting my phone by pulling out the battery (while it was still on), but still no luck.
I would appreciate any other suggestions. I really need access to my contacts from my backup file!!!
Cheers,
TK

Hey Lenfrancis,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Do you have any other email accounts setup like Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail? If you do, you might need to remove the *email address {SYNC}* service book prior to setting up the synchronization.

Cannot send some emails from the address book. Comcast says it is not a server problem.

Keep getting this message when trying to send a group email from the address book -"The size of the message you are trying to send exceeds a temporary size limit of the server. The message was not sent, try to reduce the message size or wait some time and try again. The server responded: 4.1.1... temporary failure."
Comcast has checked it - the issue is not the server they say. This problem just started 4 days ago. It appears other people have this problem on the thunderbird forum and it has not been resolved yet.

The Comcast server is issuing the error message. Have them explain how this is not their problem.

Mail and Address Book: Does adding attachements always expand them?

Lame subject heading, sorry, but I keep trying to use Mail, I'm trying to like it but I keep swapping back to Eudora 6.2.4 for it's straightforwardness and professional feel. I'd like to use Mail without the address book picture, and I'd like to just attach attachments without having them expand in the body of the email. Can this be done?
Many thanks,
Dave

The AddressBook picture does not get sent with your email. Unless the person you are sending to has the same pic as you in their address book for your card. T change open System Preferences >> Accounts >> and choose another picture or create a blank, if you want nothing in log in. (just create a plain jpg and paste it.)
Or, on AB choose edit on "Me" card and delete the picture.
ASA not expanding in the body of the email all jpgs "expand" if it is not muliti-page. You could send as plain text or zip the file.
