Contact photos and CardDAV syncing?

I set up CardDAV syncing with Yahoo on my iPhone. It works well enough. I've also enabled syncing with Yahoo via iTunes because doing so stores things like contact photos and the like. The downside of this method is that I end up with 2 contacts on my iPhone (phone & CardDAV) for every contact. I can unify them on the phone, but I have to remember to do that when adding a contact.
I'd like to remove one of the iPhone stored contacts and use only the CardDAV contacts. Does anyone know if things like notes, contact photos and additional fields would be synced or backed up on my PC if I did this?

Could use some help in this matter as well. I'm hoping that I can have my contact list photos match to the Facebook contact photo. I've tried everything I can think of. I go to my phone book list, pick a contact, try both the photo icon on the bottom and the "pac-man" looking link button along the top, then I get an add contact, and Facebook button pops up. When I hit that it says to select contact (which all I have on the screen is a keyboard) so when I go to type in the contacts name, nothing happens. Is there a way to do this? I"ve tried reloading Facebook app from Market place (as was suggested in a forum) and still get nothing. The only contact with a pic is mine? Any help would be gretly appreciated!
Thanks

Everything should be on your computer.
You should be syncing contacts and calendars with your comptuer regularly.
You should be transferring all itunes purchases to your computer regularly.
You should be importing all pics taken with iphone to your computer regularly.
Most especially before any update.
Have you failed to do this?

Address Book Contact Photos will not sync over to iPhone 2G

So here is the deal. I just bought a new 21.5" iMac w/ Snow Leopard. I had a iMac G5 with Leopard previously and rather than using migration assistant, i just copied over the applicable folders and files (per my research) so that my contacts would be present on the new computer. Everything seems fine except the contact photos will not sync over to my iPhone. Has anyone run across this? Help is greatly appreciated!
Cheers

any body?

All contacts, photos and apps deleted after updating to IOS 6

After updating my 4s to IOS 6 all my contacts, photos and apps were deleted. I even tried connecting to itunes and restoring to backup with no luck. Any idea how I can re-gain all my contacts, photos and apps?

Use iTune to update your apps.
Check for Updates (bottom right) in iTune. When download is completed, sync to iPad.

Contact photo and .mac

Hello,
I have contacts in the address book with photos and after sync address book with dot.mac I cannot see photos in my contacts.
Please advise how I can sync photos with dot.mac.

You cannot, as this feature is not yet implemented. You can synchronize contact images through .Mac to another Macintosh desktop or portable computer using .Mac Sync, and while they are stored at .Mac in your account, they are not displayed. This is a server-side issue that will not change until Apple implements the feature.

Hi Ken,
Wow, I've logged into adobe and never seen your response until now.
I need to make the forums more of a daily stop I guess.
Thank you for your response, When I go to the Archives, it states I have none. In addition, previously when I'd tried to move items to the archive, they just disappeared
Currently my desktop is not connecting at all, Everytime I connect, it's states "We have now logged you out" and requests I login again.
I have of course rebooted,
Gone into taskmanager, killed all the relevant threads, tried again to login through the desktop, no luck, I'll have to uninstall it, make sure the threads are killed, then reboot it and then reinstall it, but I've not had the time to do that.
On another note, and just as a point of reference, myself, personally, I hate these "cloud" file repositories (not to be confused with adobe cloud services which I love) but the file repositories themselves imho, are a blackhole of resource usage when one doesn't/isn't using them,
Is there a way we can use it more of a "ftp" sort of thing, when I want to I can put files there? There is no way to "Download" the repository, no way to download the folders.. only individual files and then it takes I think three different steps before the download starts.. I find this very inhibiting. Just an fyi. for what it's worth.
Please, feel free to contact me,
I'm on g+ chat [email protected]

HT201210 my Iphone was working fine and then I plugged it into Itunes for the update and now it says I have to restore to orignal factory settings. I will lose my contacts, photos and anything else I have loaded over the past two years. REALLY?? WHY

This is so frustrating! I plugged my Iphone 4S into my computer to update it via Itunes and now it says I have to restore to factory settings and will lose all of my contacts, photos, and applications I have downloaded. All I was really wanted to do was delete photos that uploaded from my home computer and took up all the space on my phone! GRRRR I hate this

If you are using the iphone as designed then you should lose very little or nothing.
You should be syncing contacts with your computer regularly, so all of your contacts should be on your computer and you can sync them back.
You should be importing all pics taken with the iphone to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera, most especially before any attempt to update.
You should be transferring all purchases made on your iphone to your computer: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
You can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Yes, that's exactly what I'd suggest for the vast majority of users.

As far as I know you can't delete the primary email address for an iCloud account. It's assigned when the account is created. But your neighbor wouldn't have been able to get into your iCloud account without your Apple ID and password. Are you sure the account wasn't still on your phone when you gave it to him?
You could migrate a copy of your data to a new iCloud account but I would still be concerned that someone else was using my old account, which presumably still has your data in it.
I'm fairly certain that you're going to have to have iCloud support help you sort this one out as they may have the ability to make changes to an existing account that users can't. Make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store and have them take a look at it. If necessary, they should be able to contact iCloud support for you.

If someone using my user and password on their iphone will it notify me on my iphonr that someome login using my account? will they see my messages ? my old deleted messaged? will it synce my contacts photos and messages on their phone using my account?

My girlfriend just got an iphone 4s and she might sell it bc she doesnt like it so i gave her my information to login to her new iphone so she can just test it out so she doesnt have to set up a new account... anyways once she signs my user name and password on her iphone will it notify me on my iphone that someone is signing it? Will it allow it? And will she see all my text messages even from imessage and phoTos? Will it show her all my deleted text messages?? once she setups her iphone using my account information and she synces everything will it synce all the contacts and messages and pictures ?? Just curious to what all will happen i dont want it to lock my account or anythin
g im okay with her useing my information or seeing my stuff ..

anyways once she signs my user name and password on her iphone will it notify me on my iphone that someone is signing it?
No.
Will it allow it?
Yes
And will she see all my text messages even from imessage and phoTos?
Only received iMessages, depending on how she sets it up. No SMS or MMS
Will it show her all my deleted text messages??
No
once she setups her iphone using my account information and she synces everything will it synce all the contacts and messages and pictures ??
Yes, if she restores your iCloud backup to her phone, and sets up the same iCloud account
Just curious to what all will happen i dont want it to lock my account or anythin
g im okay with her useing my information or seeing my stuff ..
You sound a bit more that that... I don't understand why you gave her your account info just to "test it out" - creating her own account is quick, easy, and free. If you have even the remotest concerns, you don't have to "lock" your account - just change your password.
Apple ID: Changing your password

Contact Photos and wallpaper

Whenever I take a contact photo for somebody and they call or I call them it always takes up the wholebackground instead of their picture being in the upper right hand corner and my original background being in the corner, why is this? I want the contact photo to be up in the corner and my background be in the background. Anybody know how to fix this?

Any photo taken with the iPhone and used for a contact's profile photo, will take up the whole page. The way to eliminate this issue is to assign a photo not taken with the iPhone and assign that photo to Outlook contacts. Also if you have any phones that will sync with the PC or laptop you are using, Outlook will automatically assign those photos to the contacts of your desire. After non iPhone photos of contacts are synced to the iPhone, they will then show up in the upper right hand corner of the screen during the ring and the entire conversation. My advice is to take photos with another device or phone and sync them to Oulook. This is the guaranteed way of what you're wanting. My 8125 has hundreds of photos of friends and family contacts and all of their photos are in my screen that way. Fortunate for me, I like the full screen look, so I took new photos and reassigned them all.

HT1386 entourage contact photos won't sync with iphone

I use Entourage for my contacts, email and calendar, the version I use is part of Microsoft Office for Mac 2008, Entourage version 12.3.3 on a MacBook Pro, using Snow Leopard, OS 10.6.3, and I'm trying to sync my Entourage contacts with their corresponding photos for each contact to my iphone 4s OS 5.1.1 The contacts sync but the contact photos did not. I also use FileMaker Pro To Go and managed to sync that with my FM desktop version which has photos that correspond to their contacts and that synced contacts with photos to the iphone without any problems. Does anyone have any solution ideas? has anyone experienced this same problem?

Nope. The only thing I can suggest is disregard the photo issue with the sync. I looked up the issue on Google and some other people were having the same issue with Entourage. I checked Microsoft forums for it but nothing was there.
Other posts indicated that it was because entourage uses a different data entry set for the user photos, which iOS does not use.
