Contact picture problem

I want it so everytime someone rings, I get a little thumbnail with the persons conact picture in the corner instead of a horrible pixaled version taking up the whole scren. It used to be that way but ever since I merged to iCloud/iOS5 it's changed.
Anyone know how to fix this?

  • Contact Picture Problems

    When I take a picture and then decide to make that picture match a contact, that works fine. The problem is if I first go into my contacts...then edit...then say add picture....and take new picture. It will let me take the picture and even adjust it, but when i press set picture, the program closes down and goes to the home screen and the picture is not saved to the contact. This happens every time. Any help on this subject would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I tried with me and don't have problem. After chosing the picture in my album I got next step i.e. crop picture. Here you can move "blue square" which helps you to put in centere what you want. After that just confirm Crop button and the picture is assigned to contact.

  • Contact Picture sync behavior

    Problem: I add a new contact picture on the iPhone, later sync: the pic loses its resolution and becomes a low-res 'Address Book' picture that appears in the top-right corner when someone calls.
    I know the topic of contact pic has been hashed out lots already, but I haven't found this answer yet. How do I get my iPhone contact pictures to stay on my iPhone contacts in full resolution after syncing to MacBook Address Book?
    What happens: take a new picture with the iPhone by going to the contact / Edit / add photo / Take Photo, or add a picture by going to the contact / Edit / add photo / Choose Existing Photo -- the contact picture will be a full-screen full-res contact photo; the person will call and their picture will be the full background on the phone call display. Then I sync a couple times with my MacBook with 'Sync Address Book contacts' checked: the full-res photo will be lost, replaced by a low-res version that only appears in the top-right when the person calls.
    It's like the first sync Address Book receives the photo from the iPhone, the 2nd sync the iPhoto replaces the high-res photo with the low-res one that Address Book is using. When it happens with a new photo it appears there is no way to recover the higher-res photo (very sad sometimes). It doesn't happen 100% of the time - perhaps there's a variable I'm not seeing.
    Others have said that you only get the low-res, top-right picture if you assign the photo to the contact in Address Book on the computer, but I'm also getting it when I simply sync to the computer. I've never added contact pictures using Address Book.
    My wish: Address Book would accept the higher-res version photo. Fallback wish: Address Book uses a low-res version, iPhone keeps it's higher-res version. At the very least, let me choose which device takes precedent in sync!
    Is there a workaround? A way to recover the higher-res version? A way to make the higher-res picture stick? Mostly I want to know: is anyone else having this problem?
    Thanks for any info in advance.

    It seems that with each upgrade the feature that allow you to assign a photo to a contact keeps changing the way it works. When I select a photo and used the cropping tools, the results are not even close to what you selected on screen with the crop and zoom functions.
    How do we get this bug fixed!
    Thanks!

  • IPhone contact pictures disappear once i use safari browser

    Can anyone help with this problem... I assign pictures to my contacts. When I use my iPhone safari browser, or use any internet apps, the contact pictures disappear. What is going on? Thanks.

    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,

  • Contact Picture Bugs

    I have 2 complaints about contact pictures. One is fixable in WebOS directly, the other may be Google's fault. My first problem occurred when I took a picture of my coworker with my Pre and used it as the contact picture. It synched with Google and worked fine, until I wanted to change his pic to another. I changed the photo using Google's contact editing page, and his photo is now correct in the contacts app on my Pre, but when he calls me, the old pic is what shows instead of the new one I set. I have deleted the pic from my Pre, and I cannot find anywhere that the image is assigned to his contact info, I only have his contact info coming from Google, nothing from Facebook or Exchange, or my Palm Profile.
    The other problem is with Google's contact picture sync. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has noticed that images added to contacts from the Pre show up with lots of artifacts in Google's contacts page, the only way to avoid it is to add the picture from Google directly, not on the Pre. They are minor problems, but they make a difference to me. Thanks to anyone who can help me fix this, or to Palm when they make the changes.

  • Issues with Contact Pictures: Outlook 2010 and BlackBerry Desktop Software 6.1.0.36

    Hi guys,
    I have been trying to syncronize my contacts for many days now, with the following problems with the contact pictures:
    1) Some contacts simply do not syncronize the pictures: Randomly, some contacts where I add a Picture in Outlook 2010 do not show the pictures in my Blackberry. Even worst: If make a change in any other field, the change in that field is detected, but the former value and value of the picture simply appear blank, even when the contact has a picture in outlook.
    2) If I add a picture in Outlook it is first syncronized to the BlackBerry. If I re-run the sync, all the pictures are re-syncronized back again from the BlackBerry to Outlook, but with a lower resolution, reducing the quality of all my contact's pictures. I also syncronize my Outlook to a couple of smartphones from other companies that do display high resolution pictures, diminishing the quality of the pictures displayed in the other devices.
    This has been very frustrating, please help.
    Thanks,
    Marco

    Unfortunately, no one from the BlackBerry team has replied (read?) my post. I simply changed the sync options to be unidirectional so that the BB won't replace the pictures with lower quality ones, Of course, I do not use my BB anymore to create new contacts, I do it in my other phones. For those contacts not showing a picture, I deleted the contacts and created them again. I really hope that someone at Blackberry realizes that High Quality contact pictures are appreciated within the BlackBerry users community and that they do something about it.

  • Contact picture gets automatically rotated

    When I'm trying to set a new picture for a Contact, it gets rotated automatically. After selecting the picture and selects use as contact picture it gets rotated automatically in the cropping window. I even tried to set picture from the contact. Still same problem. I think I got this problem after I updated to kitkat. Plz help me out.

    See if the same occurs in safe mode:

  • Contact Pictures not saving

    Hi there! I have had an iphone for a few weeks now and I have the iphone 3G. Ever since I bought the phone, the phone does not allow me to save contact pictures for my contacts. I go into the designated area of the contact i want to add a picture to, I then click on the designated area to add a photo... I then add the photo and the image appears under the contact. I then leave the contacts screen, push Menu and enter back into the contact that I added the picture to and the image is not saved. Everytime I have tried to add a photo to any contact it does not save. Even my friends who have iphones think its weird cause it works on their phones. What is wrong? Do I need to change some permissions on a directory or something? I have already done a restore and an update to 2.2.1 and this does not resolve the problem. Help!

    You have to click "Done" after you have added the photo to the contact. You cannot tap the home screen button, or the photo will not save.
    If you have been doing this, and the photo will not save to the contact, do a restore on iTunes.

  • Contact pictures in Address Book not being displayed

    Hi,
    I am syncing my address book, calendar with Google. My "source" usually is the Mac address book. After having activated the "Mac <=> Google" sync, everything worked fine in the begining. But the last six weeks I seem to have a problem with the contact pictures:
    I have created contact pictures for nearly 95% of my contacts. These pictures were copied to the address book either from iPhoto or from the web. Via Google sync, the contacts are transfered to my iPod touch, my iPhone and my Nokia Lumia 800.
    Suddenly the contact pictures started to disappear from my Mac address book, but were still visible in my Google address book and my mobile devices.
    When I started to add the pictures to my address again I realized that most pictures are still there, they were simply not being displayed in my Mac address book. By switching to "edit mode" and opening the picture field I could see the pictures again. After clicking "OK" the pictures is visible again.
    I double checked all pictures, added the few missing ones and created an "address book archive". Yesterday all pictures gone again. I imported the archive, all pictures back again. This morning, the pictures are gone again. This whole thing doesn't seem to affect Google or the mobile devices.
    Any idea what the problem with the address book is?
    PS: Before you suggest to switch to iCloud. I need to sync my address book and calendar with all my mobile devices. If I would use iCloud, I would not be able to sync with my Nokia Lumia 800 (Windows Phone). And from comments in the forum, there seem to be similar problems with iCloud concerning address book information.
    Thanks for your ideas.

    I found this article online:
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20004209-263.html
    Export an Address Book Archive of all your contacts, then import it right back in. Worked like a charm.

  • Address Book: contact pictures gone

    I have a couple of hundred contact pictures in my Address Book. After I did a lot of syncing back and forth recently between 2 Macs and an iPhone, I notice that a lot of them don't show any more. From inspecting the Images folder in my Library, I think that they are still there. I also notice that the pics have very different file formats: Some are listed as TIFF or jpg files, some as "pure text" and some as "executable Unix" files. Could that be the reason I can't see them? Since they don't have suffixes - how could I change the file type? And would they still be assigned to their contacts? (I don't want to re-assign 800+ pics to their contacts, and frankly with some pictures I don't even know who they are! )

    Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Nokia E52 display caller's name and contact pictur...

    Can someone advise me on possible problem with my E52 - I am very pleased with most aspects of the phone but it is not showing the name of the caller or the contact picture when I receive a call (just the number).
    Surely it is standard for every Nokia phone to show name of caller? I know S Ericsson phones show name and picture for both call and text. Nokias should at lease display the name?
    Can anyone please advise on this?
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

  • Contact Pictures Jumbled Up

    I use MobileMe and Exchange with contacts on both.
    On my Mac all the pictures of my contacts look fine but on my iPhone the pictures associated with the wrong contacts. This seems to be only with contacts that come from Exchange.
    Any way to resolve this short of deleting the exchange account from the phone and starting again?
    Thanks
    Ian

    Same problem although it's the iPad that seems to do the jumbling. Never had a problem previously with my iPhone and iPod. And it's also only exchange contact pictures.

  • Contact pictures incorrect

    Hi! Need some help in resolving the following issue:
    On an iPhone 4s (IOS 5.1.1),  my contact's pictures are all messed up, for example, my wife's picture appears in several other contacts and so on.  Is there a way to delete all the pictures in the contacts database in one go? Also, the errors have spread to my iCloud backup and iPad (2nd Gen, IOS 7.03). 
    My Macbook Air address book has a "clean" version (without contact pictures) which I tried to sync with my iphone... no luck.
    Need help please. Thanks in advance!

    I have iOS 4.3 on the 3GS and I have noticed the names and numbers of my contacts have been mixed up for the past couple of weeks. They are correct on mobileme when I log on and correct on the PC I sync with (Using Outlook) but on the iphone they are mixed up. This has persisted despite deleting and re-syncing all the contacts. The problem occured prior to upgrading to iOS 4.3 though

  • IPhoto 08 contact print problems - after 5 images. prints pt a screenshot

    iPhoto 08 contact print problems - after 5 images. prints pt a screenshot

    Okay - So, I teach photography and have my students print contact sheets from iPhoto version 08.  I have one student (out of forty) having the following problem (I have removed preferences, reinstalled iPhoto, used the iPhoto updater for 7.1.5, reloading the printer driver and upgrading the system software to 10.6.8 {I teach in a high school, so no funds for newer software})
    The problem is isolated to one student - the others on the same machine do NOT have the same problem.  When this student selects more than 5 images, the resulting output looks as if he has taken a screen shot - the palettes on the left of the frame show and the titles he has inserted (using Batch Change) are moved on to the pictures.
    At this point, I am going to let him screenshot his submissions, just wondering if anyone else has had this problem.
    Thanks!

  • Full screen contact pictures

    I just got an iphone 4s and I would like to have my contact pictures be full screen when they call. When I try to edit the picture under their name in contacts, the picture appears blurry. All pictures have been taken with my iphone. Please help!

    Hi Ipen,
    Have you found the cause/solution? I'm having the exact same problem. It started after upgrading to an iPhone 5S with iOS 7, but I don't know if that's the culprit or not.
    One specific detail of my setup — I'm syncing my iPhone contacts with Google Contacts via CardDAV. Are you?
    Thanks,
    Jake
