Contact pictures are huge in iOS 5!

Has anyone else noticed that their contacts' pictures are HUGE after the iOS 5 update? I have tried everything I can think of to get the pictures back to their normal size, but nothing works. I can't be the only one having this problem! Any suggestions? I sync my contacts via the Address Book on an iMac running Lion.

It's the app called Contacts with the icon that looks like this:

Pictures are gone after iOS 8 update

After the iOS 8 update, I went to my picture gallery and all but 43 of my pictures are gone. I've gone to Photos --> Collections and still, only those 43 images are there. Where did my pictures go and how do I get them back?

You should be storing everything on your computer. Just sync them to the iPhone.
Did you update without making sure that you had imported everything to your computer?

Lost all contacts, pictures, and videos on ios 7, syncing iphone to itunes/icloud how do i restore it back, lost all contacts, pictures, and videos on ios 7, syncing iphone to itunes/icloud how do i restore it back

I updated itunes 11.1.5 and I accidently restored all my settings back to my old phone that was backed up onto my computer, I lost everything that was set up on my phone, contacts, pictures, videos, emails...etc.. how do I get my old setup back without doing a factory data reset?

Restore the device again using the most recent backup.
If there is no more recent backup and the pictures were not copied off the device prior to the original restore, they are gone. Same goes for videos taken with the device.
Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service, simply sync them back.
Any content acquired from iTunes should be on iTunes on the computer, simply sync it back.

Please advice how to restore also contact pictures from full backup. I really don't want to input them again manually one by one...

cduffy, I know how children can be interested in a cell phone because of how much fun they are so I totally understand. I am happy you were able to resolve your issue. Please let us know what steps you took to figure this one out. I wanted to list below some steps to merge your contact information from facebook with your phone.
The Motorola Droid contact list application uses an intelligent merge feature to combine contact information from various sources (Gmail, Microsoft Exchange, Facebook, new entries, etc.).
From the home screen, select the applications tab (located on the bottom of the screen).
Select Contacts.
Select the Contacts tab then select the desired contact.
Select Menu.
Select Edit contact.
Select Menu.
Select Join.
Select the contact.
Information from these contacts will be merged and be displayed as one contact.
Verify the contact information has merged correctly (e.g. phone numbers, email address, etc.) then select Done.

Some contact picture are missing from verizon messaging

brand new s5 set up messaging for my husband. all contact pictures show up in verizon messaging but mine. there is a picture for me under contacts. no idea why this is happening. husband uses google for contacts and linked to facebook we use syne me to sync facebook pics to contacts but this was happening before installing. our daughters and friends show when he sends or receives message but not mine. how do i fix this

If you want to use your back up you need to restore then entire Library from Time Machine, and then replace the damaged Library with it.
Regards
TD

TS1347 All my contacts were lost after my husband uploaded the newest version to my iphone 3Gs. I never had done an update before. My email stopped working so I gave it a try. My email works, but my contacts & pictures are missing.

How do I get my contacts back after upgrade?

The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts. Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone.

Imported pictures are HUGE. Way too big. How do I reduce JPEG size?

JPEG size imports WAY TOO BIG. How do I reduce JPEG size? Thanks so much@!!

Set your camera to take lower quality pictures is the obvious answer here. You can reduce the size of image already in iPhoto when exporting them.

Contact pictures in messages (iOS 7)

Hi all,
yesterday I downloaded the new apple mobile operating system iOS 7.
Now my question: When are contact pictures shown in the messages app? Could it be, that contact pictures are only displayed in a message group - if a message (iMessage) goes to more than one Person?
... yes, all my contacts have contact pictures, that can't be the problem.

Sorry - Does nobody have the same problem?

After updating to iOS 7.1, contact picture can't see fully. Please help.

After updating to iOS 7.1, contact pictures are seen as a circle. In 7.0.4, I see these picture fully. Please give me a solution...

There is no solution, that is one of the new feature of IOS 7.1

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 pictures after upgrade

Xperia with Facebook stopped syncing contacts from fb after the update, so I need to use the Facebook account to sync contacts.The contact pictures are in a very low resolution, they are useless. Removed the facebook account, deleted the facebook app data, still having the same issue. Also have this issue, with the google account pictures. Is there any solution to sync those pictures properly?

Hi zsolesz79, this cannot be changed as Google only allows this level of resolution. I advise downloading a third party Contacts app to sync them with.

Contact Pictures Missing

I have a 4 year old that will pick up my phone when im not looking. Im not sure what happened to my contacts however, all my pictures to my saved favorites contacts and a lot of additional contact pictures are missing. I had them synced with Facebook. I see she deleted my facebook from my accounts, so I added it again. However not all the contact pictures are syncing back up with my phone. Any suggestions on how to fix this so I can get my pictures back for my contacts?

Warning - Contact picture may be open to strangers...

This one's so serious I think it warrants a separate thread.
A user in another recent thread reported that contact pictures are publicly visible in Skype search despite setting privacy to "Contacts Only". I doubted this, but got ahead and did my own research. Could confirm the same behavior on two separate accounts. You may also want to check it out yourself and see if you get to the same conclusions.
And no, it's not a question of caching or the network not having refreshed settings. One of the profiles I confirmed the behavior on (an old, abandoned account of mine I haven't touched for long) has had this privacy setting for well over three years.

Hm.. I couldn't reproduce this: When I've set my profile picture visibility to "Contacts only" and I search for my account from another account I cannot see my profile picture. Keep in mind that the Skype search will show the avatar picture if you are searching for a contact already in your contact list.

Why does mountain lion mix up my contacts pictures?

Since upgrading to Mountain Lion my contact pictures are getting mixed up (on all my iCloud devices) without I have layed a hand on them!
Now, wrong pictures appear all over my contact entries.

Try removing the "com.apple.LaunchServices.plist" preferences file in addition. This one contains the custom file and URL handler links for the various programs you have installed, and is what is set by the Safari and Chrome preferences to set the default Web browser.
After you have removed this, log out and back in to your account and try again, but in addition, do keep in mind some of your other custom document/application associations may need to be reset.
