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.

Can I create a separate icloud account for my husband but still use the same itunes account? I want our contacts, photos and storage capacity to be separate but be able to share music and apps we purchase.

Welcome to the Apple community Pammy.
Yes, that's exactly what I'd suggest for the vast majority of users.

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.

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?

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

Hi iv added iCloud to my iphone5 and by doing so I've now lost all contacts, photos and also my iMessage please can someone help me to restore my phone back to how it was before doing this? I went to backup and chose wrong backup date and I'm now stuck. This is driving me mad PLEASE someone help??

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.

All of this should be on your computer as you should be syncing regularly to your computer.. Just sync it back.

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

Contacts photo , inadvertent wallpaper ?

I recently perplexed an iPhone phone-tech by telling her that just one of my contacts showed the photo as a full-size wallpaper when calling him, yet all the others remained in the upper right corner as apparently they're supposed to.
But earlier today I had reason to edit and re-set someone's photo and now they too are full size behind the translucent "keypad / speaker" panel. . . . as are every single one I performed a "edit / save" on !
Have I discovered an accidental feature ? , or a "bug" that will soon be fixed . . thereby undoing all my "work" ?

DmR of AtoZ,
Whether it shows up in the corner or full screen depends on the size of the picture assigned to the contact.
Address Book on a Mac will thumbnail the pictures, when those contacts are synced over, they show up in the corner.
If you take a picture on the iPhone and assign it to a contact that will be a larger pictures, and show full screen.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

HT1766 all my contacts photos and other data is not seen in my laptop and iphone after i installed itunes in my laptop

all my photos and contacts and other data is missing after i installed itunes in my laptop and conected my iphone and updated and syncranised it

No. If you made your backup to iCloud, iTunes will not restore from an iCloud backup. See:
iOS: Backing Up and Restoring Data to a New Device

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.

I have accidentally retored my phone back to factory settings and lost my contact list, photos and all. I have retrieved my apps via itunes but is there any way to reverse this so I can get my photos and contact list back?

Some accident with all the steps and warning messages provided.
All contacts on your iPhone should be available on your computer. Not a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for such important data. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
Contacts and photos/videos in the Camera Roll should be included with your iPhone's backup which should have been created or updated by iTunes as the first step during the restore process - unless you declined the option.
If you declined the option, the data is gone. If not, restore your iPhone again from the backup that was created or updated before the previous restore.

I've just bought an new laptop and downloaded itunes. I plugged in my iphone and upgraded to the newest itunes/ synched etc. Now I have no music or apps on my phone. The contacts photos and texts all seem fine. Just the itues stuff that's missing.

I have just bought a new computer and downloaded itunes. I plugged in my iphone and upgraded to the newest itunes/ synched etc. Now have no music or apps on the phone. Contacts, texts, photos all fine. Just all itunes content that is missiing. It isn't showing in my itunes account on my computer or on my phone. Any idea how to get it back? (No point synching with itunes on my computer as it isn't there either!)

I suggest copying your entire iTunes library to your new computer, also you might want to copy the photos you want to save. Then sync your device to the new iTunes and copy over your music, documents and photos that you want.
If you are no longer going to use the old computer you should open up iTunes on the old computer and use the menu to deauthorize it. Be sure to use the same iTunes menu on your new computer to Authorize the new one.
