Contact photo question

In the tv ad's for both the first gen and the 3G when a call is recived the added photo displays as a small picture in the upper right corner with the wallpaper still displayed..I like that. my phone will display the contact photo covering the whole screen. Am I missing a setting somewehre? I have the first gen iPhone.

MMulhern is right. Small photos come from setting the image in the contact (through MobileMe for instance) whereas full screen photos are set by using a photo on the phone, and assigning it to a contact.
So to have just thumbnails, set up all your images for contacts using your email client on the Mac, or the MobileMe website.
If you decide you'd like full sized images, here's what you need to do.
In iPhoto set up a new album. I named mine "Contacts". In this album put all the photos you'd like to use for your contacts. I suggest 1200x1600 sized photos because that's what the iPhone photos are (so you'll get a consistent experience).
In iTunes, sync this album to your iPhone.
On the iPhone, go to Photos, and select a photo and push the button on the bottom left of the screen. Select "Assign to Contact".
Once you've found the appropriate contact it will now appear full screen when you receive a call.
Hope that helps!

I'm using a 16GB iPhone 4S, with the latest version of iOS 8.1.1. Whenever I go to the "Cellular" settings on the main settings page and turn OFF cellular data usage for native apps like mail, app store, contacts, photos etc , the moment I back out and come back in, all the native apps I turned cellular off for are back on again. Kindly help me

Exact same question as ankit1986, specifically with the photos while on cellular-only, and as simple as it sounds, I tried the hard reboot Ingo2711 suggested. Still experiencing the same error with the native apps reverting to on. It's killing our shared data-plan (2GB).

700P/Verizon: Cannot find some contact photo files?

Hello,
I have a Treo 700P (on Verizon) that I'm trying to get all of my data off.
I noticed that some of my contact photos that were taken with the Treo camera while editing the contact are NOWHERE to be found either on the external memory card that I'm using (SD card) or on the internal memory.
Does anyone know where these type of image files are stored and if they can be accessed? I have quite a bit of contacts whom I took a picture of them while I was editing their contact profile that I cannot access (or don't know where to access) the image files.
I've looked up and down in the Pics & Videos app and cannot find these pictures. I finally figured out that the pictures that I cannot find are the ones that I had taken as mentioned above (while editing a contact and selecting the picture from "camera"; it's either "camera", "photos" or "remove" as options).
While in Palm Desktop, if I open a contact in question, same thing, the image is there within the contact but I cannot do anything (like copy it or anything else), other than select a different photo file or remove the current one.
I have the "FileZ" app, but I don't really know what I'm looking for (not sure if that app would allow me to find these files in question or not, just thought I'd throw that out there in case it would help).
PLEASE someone help me if you can!! I'd definitely appreciate it! I like quite a few of the pictures that the Treo took while I was making the contact file for family/friends, but I cannot get any access to them!
Obviously these files are stored somewhere and they must be on my PC as well (I'm running Vista), but, again, I cannot find it in the Pics/Video backup directory that Palm Desktop creates neither (it just has the same pics/videos that are seen on the Treo itself under the Pics/Video app).

thanks thetreoguy!
I do realize that the image quality is no better than a small thumbnail; but, is there still a way to extract it from the database? I'm not using the pictures for anything other than to use them for profile pictures on another smartphone (so they do not need to be high-rez images, just exactly what they are on the Treo).
I do use a SD card for image storage, but didn't realize while editing a contact that if you select "camera" from method of adding a picture that the Treo would take the picture but not store it in any usable area. If there is no way to extract at all from the contact database, then I guess I'm just S.O.L. then, huh?
I do appreciate your response very much as I was thinking it might only be me having the problem! haha
If you have any idea how I could extract from the contact database, it would be awesome!
Thanks again!

Full screen contact photos

I have just updated to iOS 8 and I am trying to get full screen contact photos instead of the small circle in the corner.

Hey Haigh2911,
Thanks for the question. Yes, full screen call pictures have returned in iOS 8 for incoming calls. You’ll want to attach a photo to your contact’s card in the Contacts app:

Additional Information: Here is an example of the full screen call picture:

Dear Tylerkeefe,
Good morning. Getting notifications that you are close to exceeding your allowance can certainly be alarming. It would be my pleasure to help put your mind at ease.
I understand you are not streaming movies, music, etc. Which these features will use a lot of data. Are you using the Mobile Hotspot on your phone. This may also cause you to exceed your data allowance quickly if you do not power if off after you are done using the feature. To turn off mobile hostpot tap settings>general>personal hotspot>off. Do you have any third party applications that you have installed that may be running a lot of data?
To ensure applications are not consistently running in the background do the following press the menu button at the bottom of your phone twice. All the open apps will then appear. Select and hold the bottom of the screen. A minus sign will then appear in the top left of each app. Select each minus sign to close out the application.
I hope the information given will help clarify what is using a lot of data on your phone. Should you have further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us.
Thank You,

Why don't my Facebook friends' contact photos show up in Mail?

I have my Facebook account integrated with Mountain Lion, which is working great, including the synchronizing of contact photos. When I open my contacts in the Contacts app, their Facebook profile picture appears in their contact card, which is great. But in Mail, they never show up. I can click on the contact in Mail and click "Show Contact Card" and I can see their Facebook profile picture with the little "f" icon in the corner. But it won't show up in the message, or in the list of messages. Instead it just shows the default "grey silhouette man" picture. Is there something special that I have to do to show my Facebook photos in Mail?

ITunes Contact Photos Backup

Hi,
Simple question that isn't clearly answered anywhere I've looked: Does iTunes back up contact photos when it backs up info on an iPhone. I know it backs up contacts (address book), BUT does it back up the contact photo for each entry in the address book as well?
Thanks!

Yes

How do I find the original photo that is used in one of my contact photo in "Contacts"?

Hi everyone,
I am in a bit of a dilemma. I desperately need to find and/or access the original photo used as a contacts photo in the OSX built in app "Contacts". I can resize the photo and I can see it in full but I can't find the original anywhere and in any way.
I'd really appreciate some help here, as the photo is dear to my heart but seems to have gone missing. It was originally scanned in but isn't showing up where all my scanned photos are saved. Eek!
If anyone has any pointers on where I could find this photo in its original size, please do share them!
Ta,
posies

Hi DonTimo,
I've tried doing that, but in the said folder there are only default pictures. I can't find the images of any contacts in the app "Contacts" anywhere. The thread you refered me to and many others that are smilar to it, date back to about 2009-2010.
Really need this photo. Any other pointers?

Jabber 9.2, uploading the contact photo from local machine or PC.

Cisco Jabber client not displaying Contact Photos

Hi All,
We have configured an external webserver to store our contact photos. But I couldn't get it working on Jabber windows clients. It works for CUPC8.5. I run the wireshark on webserver and can't see any request from Jabber client. xml file is -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<config version="1.0">
<Directory>
<DirectoryServerType>EDI</DirectoryServerType>
<PhotoUriSubsitutionEnabled>true</PhotoUriSubsitutionEnabled>
<PhotoUriSubstitutionToken>sAMAccountName</PhotoUriSubstitutionToken>
<PhotoUriWithToken>http://webserveraddress/people/sAMAccountName.jpg</PhotoUriWithToken>
</Directory>
<CUCM>
<PhoneService_UseCredentialsFrom>presence</PhoneService_UseCredentialsFrom>
</CUCM>
</config>
Can someone please advise what's the issue.

Hey Abhi,
In the PRT, I see the following:
2012-05-28 09:02:16,733 DEBUG [0x00001654] [s\feature-libs\config\src\Config.cpp(74)] [csf.unified.config] [Config::getValue] - result [true] key [PhotoUriWithToken] value [http:///people/adack.jpg]
I understand that you changed the parameter to see if we can even pull a single image for anyone, however, what I see next is:
2012-05-28 09:02:16,733 DEBUG [0x00001654] [rdsource\ADPersonRecordSourceLog.cpp(50)] [csf.person.adsource] [WriteLogMessage] - Configuration::SetConfigurationParameter - setting configuration parameter [PhotoSource] to [adack] //This needs to be AD Parameter which I see you used earlier

Do you know where this url is coming from?
I suggest that based on Jason's input and as well as changing the parameter back to the one we want, lets follow this action plan:
1) Exit out of Jabber and delete the files from the following location:
C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Cisco\Unified Communications\Jabber\CSF\Logs
2 ) Modify the Jabber-Config.xml
Change the Directory Section of the Jabber-Config.xml to the following
EDI
True
sAMAccountName
http://sptde.racq.com.au/people/sAMAccountName.jpg
3) Re-login and then Generate the PRT by Help -> Report Error
Keep in mind if the jabber-config.xml is uploaded on Call Manager, it'll replace any local modification, so we have to update the file on Call Manager .
Once we have the new PRT with the Config provided above, I can work on that.
Regards,
Jasmeet

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Create an iCloud account for each of them.

My wife and I have shared one iTunes account for 6 years. We want to create our own Apple IDs, so when we sync to our new iMac we won't see each others contacts, photos, calendar, music, etc. Is there a way to move music/apps from one ID to a new ID?

No.
One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
Create separate computer logins for each of you.
This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).

How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

Phone A = phone with information you want duplicated
Phone B = phone that you want to copy from A
Backup Phone A.
Wipe Phone B using these instructions. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Phone B should be on the 'Hello' screen. Do not swipe it. Launch iTunes. Plug in Phone B.
When iTunes asks if you want to set up as new phone or restore from backup, choose restore from backup of Phone A.
After this setup, any changes to one phone (i.e. adding a contact, downloading an app) will have to be manually duplicated on the second phone, if that is your desire). Making changes to one phone will not affect the other after setup.

It was changed in iOS 7. No idea if it was an intentional change or not.
Apple has not stated anything about it.
