Changing iPhone 6 contact pictures

I am trying to change a contacts picture that is attached to it on the iPhone 6. However, when I do this and make my selection of where I would like the picture (move and scale) and save the picture... It does not save and ends up being a picture of the contacts middle. This also happens when I double click the home and see the recent or favorite contacts pictures.
How do I change this? Or stop it from doing that?
Am I missing a step to save this?
Thanks!!

See if this works for you:
Settings --> iCloud --> Make sure your 'Contacts' is turned ON and then do a hard reset (hold down the on/off button at the same time as holding down your home button until the screen turns black and keep holding down until the screen turns white with the black Apple logo.

HT4859 I need purchased itunes on my changed iphon although contacts has been restored

I needpurchased itunes on my changed iphon although contacts has been restored?

What you are supposed to do is to maintain a backup of your iTunes library (and indeed any other data you care about) so that if something goes wrong with your computer and it needs to be repaired, or you decide to upgrade to a new computer, you can then restore those backup files to your new or repaired system.
If you have an iPod/iPhone etc. with your purchases on then this post from forum regular Zevoneer might help.
Users in the US now have a ability to redownload previous purchases. Hopefully Apple will negotiate this right for the rest of the world as they roll out their iCloud service but right now your remaining option is to ask nicely (start with the Report a Problem link in your account history). There have been reports that, on occasion, iTunes Store staff will grant a second download of your previously purchased content, although they are not obliged to do so.

Why does my user account picture change to my contact picture at login?

I have my contact information in the address book with a photo of me. Then I have my account user picture a different picture. After waking the computer after sleep or screensaver the login dialogue box picture changes to the one I have set up for my contact info. It's annoying.

You are correct - it is very annoying! I haven't found a way to disable that yet - other than by deleting the picture in the Address Book.
Give Apple some feedback!
Cheers,

How to get contact pictures off iPhone

I saved a picture with most of my contacts on my iPhone. Now I'd like to get those pictures off of the iPhone and onto a computer. Can someone help?
So you know, I took the contact pictures from directly within the contact editor. I've tried sync'ing to my computer, but I only get thumbnails on my computer when I want the whole picture (I'm going to transfer the pictures to another iPhone).
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

I have no clue, but don't think resolution is all that crucial.
Even a low-res picture can help preserve an important memory. Or something that makes a good phone contact picture may likely also make a good avatar for flickr, twitter, etc, and it would not need to be full resolution for such purposes.
Nothing taken with the iPhone is all that high-res anyhow. IIRC, pix assigned on the phone show up full-screen, so it's probably not as low-res as the teeny photo assigned on the desktop and transferred via sync.
Incidentally, google turned up this method of retrieval, using the Mac:
If you click "edit" on the contact's entry in Address Book and then double click inside their picture, it will appear as a somewhat bigger version, which you can copy with command-C. But it's a far cry from full-resolution.

I can't test it, though, as I don't sync contacts, and really have no clue whether the iPhone sync contact pictures to Outlook on Windows, which I assume the OP uses.

My contact picture on the iPhone 6 blacks out but the screen does not turn blackouts can use the screen but no contact picture is displayed. Please help.

IPhone 6 contact picture blacks out after calling on the phone. This is a sort of a bug since all the others options are available just the contact picture is blacked out

Have you tried to delete the contact and then re add them?

My iPhone has my old email set up throught iCloud. How do I reset my new username with the device without deleting everything. And if I have to delete my old account, will everything (contacts, pictures, games, apps, etc.) be erased from my phone.

Your old ID connects to an icloud account containing all your data (email, contacts, etc.) If you then use a different ID, you will connect to a different account, which results in losing all your "apple" data, like emails, contacts, calendars, etc.
However, Apple IDs are also used to connect to an itunes store account, with is different. You can keep using the old itunes store ID to keep all your purchases (but if you change to a different ID, you will lose all purchased items) and use the new ID for icloud (but losing emails, contacts, etc. from the old account).

Facebook contact pictures show up in my iPhone 4s

I am trying to have my Facebook contact pictures show up in my iPhone 4s. I have the FB app installed AND already followed these steps in the FB app:
1. Friends
2. Sync Contacts
3. Synching (turned on)
4. Replace photos (turned on)
Now, it did work for a very select few contacts, like 6... For examples:
For my contact "Allison" it added her current FB profile pic & put a bunch of gibberish under notes (<sn>id:122360 etc...)
For my friend "Pat (Last name)" it added his current FB profile pic but did NOT put a bunch of gibberish under notes.
For another contact it did not add the picture but still put the gibberish in notes.
It doesn't seem to make a difference if I have someone by just their first name, a nickname or their full name. Some work, some don't. & that's where I'm at. If there is some ez way to go individually into a contact & sync it to a FB profile, (like android) that would be ideal because it's not working this way. I have read a lot of other's threads but no one seems to have any answers more than the steps I already did. If anyone has any solutions it would be MUCH appreciated.
Thank you!

Do you mean it won't show up as the little icon in Music, for example?
For some reason, Apple decided to remove that icon even though there is plenty of space available for it. You must now use Control Center to access this functionality, if I am understanding your problem. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and look for the AirPlay icon.
This is a senseless regression on the part of Apple, one of many arbitrary changes that users have to figure out. This goes against Apple's previous culture, that made iOS something even a toddler can figure out. Now we need a modicum of expertise to use this OS. That's bad....

HT1386 I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S). I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone. But not sure how to do that.

I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S). I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone. But not sure how to do that. When I open iTunes it has a button that say "Back Up iPhone", but I'm not sure what that does. When I go into the sync options it say I have another user account and asks me if I want to merge of replace. I'm assuming it's trying to tell me I have an older iTunes Library, but don't know that. Geez, maybe people over 60 shouldn't have iPhones, iTunes just bafles me.

How do i change my iCloud account on my iPhone? I want to change it to my husbands so all of our information syncs, but will this completely delete my iCloud account? and by doing this how will my phone change (such as contacts, photos etc.) ?

I want to change it to my husbands so all of our information syncs on to my iphone and our ipad, but will this completely delete my iCloud account? and by doing this how will my phone change (such as contacts, photos etc.) ?

Bad idea.
What information do you want to share, exactly? You can share contacts, reminders, and calendars with other iCloud users without the need for both of you to use the same iCloud account. You can authorize both phones to use apps purchased under the same Apple ID without sharing an iCloud account.
Sharing an iCloud account is a bad idea in general. There is too much opportunity for someone to damage or delete data that will affect both.

My computer crashed and I have to get my data from my old drive to another computer, to ensure I get all my data what do I need to get. I have and ipad and an iphone. I need to get apps, contacts, pictures, etc. Is there a way to do this? It was a vista pc and the new is win 7. I can grab the backup files, and music, but what about my apps? I do not want to sync on the new pc since the apps aren't there. Were are the app files located in itunes? Can I just copy them to the new computer?

You can transfer itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.

I erased everything on my iphone and lost all my contacts pictures and everything how do i get all that back from my itunes account??

I erased everything on my iphone and lost all my contacts pictures and everything else how do i get the contacts and pictures back from my itunes account?? ive tried restore its like it gave me a whole new iphone thing.

If you plug in the iPhone to your computer, any contacts ect that you synced with your computer with sync back with the iPhone when it is selected in the iTunes menu under info. Anything that was added without syncing was lost, I'm sorry. A good future solution is to get iOS 5 when it comes out this fall, so you don't need to manually sync contacts, its automatic!

- You do have iTunes version 11 on the computer, right. Saying the latest is not sufficient.
- Have you tried everthing here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- You should
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Your library/media will not be affected.
- Does the iPod charge?

IPhone Contact Pictures Fully Explained

Hello Guys,
Just wanted to explain fully how the iPhone contact pictures work and why some are large and some are small etc.
In the very beginning if you added a picture to a contact on the IPHONE when you made a call it would show up as a LARGE image. If you added the picture via the Mac contacts app, when you called it would be a small image in the top right corner.
Then what happened if you added a HD/large in data size image to a contact in the mac app, it would show in your iPhone (during a call) as a large image. This was because there was enough picture data to show the larger size.
Now we come to Yosemite and iOS8........
In iOS8 if you now view a contact on the iPhone and actually finger tap the contact picture it actually opens up the full image in the screen. This didn't happen before.
Before if you tapped the picture nothing would happen.......now you can view the image and save it to the camera roll if you wish........
Now.....in Yosemite if you add a picture on the Mac this is where is gets interesting....... It doesn't matter on the actually data size of the image. It could be 40kb or 4mb. What makes the difference between large and small when calling is the HEIGHT of the image.
If you resize ANY image to 960px, when calling it will show the image as blurry LARGE!!
If you make the image 959px or less in height it will show the image as small top right.
So you have have a 5mb image thats 959px high and it will show as a small image when calling.......
I hope that clears everything up for you guys!

ckent007,
What version of the iPhone software are you using?
Are you saving the contact pictures (by tapping done in the edit contact screen) before you go to the home screen and use another application?
Hope this helps,
Jennifer B.

I have an iPhone 4s iOs 5.1.1, I want to update it to iOs 7, if I've backed up to iCloud will my contacts, pictures and text messages be saved and able to be restored if lost?

I have an iPhone 4s iOs 5.1.1,( I know I need an update!) I want to update it to iOs 7, if I've backed up to iCloud will my contacts, pictures and text messages be saved and able to be restored if lost? I recently backed up to the iCloud as recently as this morning at 2AM.

OCD with good reason
With a second backup, as you now have, you are well protected. The update makes a backup to use for restoring after the install but with another you should be in great shape.
Just take you time and be patient, these can take a while to complete depending on server load, connection speed, etc.
