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?
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.

Select the Contacts tab then select the desired contact.
Select Menu.

Missing Contact pictures in Outlook 2013
I have Outlook 2013 on a PC and using iCloud for my contacts and calendars. My contacts however do not show contact pictures that are present. Is this a bug or a feature?
I am in the same boat - not getting my contact images to appear in Outlook 2013. From what I can tell so far, iCloud works better (or possibly only) with the 32-bit version of Outlook 2013. I couldn't get it to work at all with the 64-bit version. With the 32-bit version, iCloud calendar works fine but contacts were causing Outlook to crash. I repaired iCloud 2.0 using that option in the Programs and Features function in Windows 8 and that got my iCloud contacts to appear in Outlook without crashing it. Now, it's just getting the images to download. Logging out and logging back in again didn't help even though it said it was downloading images. Doing this, however, created a listing under My Contacts, called "Contacts - iCloud Archive" and this set of contacts had most of the contact images I have on my other computers/devices. This is clearly a work in progress which will probably resolve itself in a short while.

Pictures missing in photo stream after empty-battery + work around
I recently had a situation where synchronizing photos between my iOS7 and MacOS 10.9 devices failed and/or showed strange effects (individual pictures missing).
After a day of annoying experiences I realised that the problems started after the iPhone (that I use for taking photos) had switched itself off due to an empty battery (there's just too much to see at the Carneval in Venice ;-) After fully charging the iPhone I took more photos but some (!) of the new photos (and some of the older photos) did not sync.
WORK AROUND: restarted the iPhone once more.Summary
Photo stream IS "Recently Added" as well as "Recently Taken" combined. If it was taken with this phone, it can be favorited. If not, there's no favorite (heart) icon.
Details
So I have 2 iphones I use, one for work, one personal. I do very little with the work one and never had photo stream turned on but I use the same itunes account for both so I can share itunes match and photos and contacts if/when I chose to.
I was confused about where photo stream went as well.
So prior to turning on photo steam on my work phone, I saw that I had 4 photos (mostly screen shots) on the work phone, under "recently added". I took a picture with the phone to be sure. Yup, it was added to recently added but not "summarized" (not sure why it wasn't summarized but nothing else is on that phone).
I have other settings to "default" including having "summarize photos" turned on.
I then turned on "My Photo Stream" and saw photos start getting added to "Recently Added". The count ended up being around 625 which is huge, but much less than the 1000 on my windows Photo Stream, and less than the 661 or so on my personal phone. Not sure if this is the 30 days limitation on my personal or what the limitation is on my work phone.
FYI, did all this with wifi so the download was moderately fast.
Another thing of note. Photos that were taken with the same phone have the favorite icon (the heart). Photos taken on the other phone do not. So that's how to tell if it's only on the photo stream. -
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:

Export an Address Book Archive of all your contacts, then import it right back in. Worked like a charm. -
Contact Pictures Gone Too?
If I remove the pictures from my iphone that I have chosen to use for my contact pictures will the contact pictures be gone too?
Same for me. Restarting the watch does nothing. The contact photos are also missing in the Apple Watch App on the phone.

Full screen contact picture lost iPhone 6 plus
upgraded my iphone 5 to ios8 and i was so pleased to see the return of fullscreen contact pictures for incoming calls. After getting an iphone 6+ today I am disappointed to see this return to the small round picture at the top of the screen. Am I missing a setting somewhere?
Hello everyone. No one is missing a setting or need to do a bodoo ritual to get a full sized photo on incoming call in an iphone. The answer is simple since the phone in his original position has an aspect radio of 9:16 to the phone display a picture in full screen at the incoming call the picture needs to be in the same aspect ratio so there is no blank spaces anywhere and the software proceed to display the contact picture. Also the picture has to stay in your library.
The procedure to do this in iOS 8:
1- Go to Photos>Camera Roll> Select the picture you wanna set as contact.
2- Touch "Edit" in the right superior corner.
3- Inside Edit mode touch the tool to resize.
4- Set the grid to a position taller than wide.
5- Touch the scale icon in the lower right corner of the screen. Is the one above the "Done" button.
6- Select the last option that reads: "9:16" that is related to the aspect ratio for the selected area.
7- Adjust your image zooming or moving until it reach the desired one.
8- Hit done.
9- Now in Camera Roll set the image to the contact desired. It's done.
Enjoy. -
Changing iPhone 6 contact pictures
I am trying to change a contacts picture that is attached to it on the iPhone 6. However, when I do this and make my selection of where I would like the picture (move and scale) and save the picture... It does not save and ends up being a picture of the contacts middle. This also happens when I double click the home and see the recent or favorite contacts pictures.
How do I change this? Or stop it from doing that?
Am I missing a step to save this?
Thanks!!See if this works for you:
Settings --> iCloud --> Make sure your 'Contacts' is turned ON and then do a hard reset (hold down the on/off button at the same time as holding down your home button until the screen turns black and keep holding down until the screen turns white with the black Apple logo. -
Since 4 or 5 days some pictures missing
Since 4 or 5 days some pictures missing, only question marks. A few sites only.
Any idea,
Thank youI am sure that this has already been dealt with on this site. Check the search box at the top to see what comes up. I think your PlayBook has to be sent back to RIM. Here is the RIM contact info for Germany. I think they have a very quick turnaround time. Backup all your data before sending it to them

I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S). I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone. But not sure how to do that. When I open iTunes it has a button that say "Back Up iPhone", but I'm not sure what that does. When I go into the sync options it say I have another user account and asks me if I want to merge of replace. I'm assuming it's trying to tell me I have an older iTunes Library, but don't know that. Geez, maybe people over 60 shouldn't have iPhones, iTunes just bafles me.

Please help. Half my contacts are missing and think I've tried everything!
Hi there
Sorry this is a long post but I'm a bit desperate and hope you can help:
I dont have a PC or ipad or anything but do have an iphone 5 and over the weekend my emails (to my live.com account) weren't sending off my phone.
So I deleted the live/hotmail account and reinstalled the account. I noticed that upon re-installation there was no option for 'contacts', just 'notes' and 'calendar' but I didnt pay it much attention as I have an exchange account listed on my phone which features contacts, email, notes, calendar etc etc.
Yesterday out of the blue some of my contacts went missing (after sending a text to a person, a few hours later their name vanished). I deduced that all the contacts that had vanished were email addresses and newer numbers (over the past few years).
I still had the 334 numbers I've accumulated over the past 10 years.
So today - after looking at apple community help sites - I took the following steps:
- Checked all contacts groups were ticked (they were)
- Tried switching the contacts box on and off.
- I deleted my newly installed Live Account as it seemed unnecessary as I could send/receive emails on my exchange account.
- I then deleted my exchange account and re-installed it.
- Hey presto, all the numbers and emails addresses which had vanished came back.
- BUT DOOM... all my initial numbers have gone. This is really bad (relatives, work mates, boss etc etc all lost).
- So then I tried to look at how to ask iCloud to sync contacts but couldn't really find an answer anywhere.
- So I tried to log into my iCloud on a public computer to check what contacts I had and move them manually but after logging on (for first time ever) using my iCloud email address and also my live.com email address, no contacts we listed as being in the Cloud.
- In terms of synching data all I could find was an instruction to turn the 'contacts' tab in icloud off (whilst keeping contacts on iphone) then switching it back on and asking it to merge.
But this didnt achieve anything new.
- So I repeated the step above and then as instructed on one post selected iCloud backup. This hasn't helped either and I'm worried that I have updated my icloud to only include my Exchange contacts and not my old numbers.
So I'm panicking that i'll never get my important numbers back! Any advice?
My only glimmer of hope is that when I changed from iphone 4 to iphone 5 earlier this year, all of my data was switched using the icloud function (but possibly my live/hotmail account too), which suggests to me that icloud does have all the numbers.
I still have the iphone4 handset too - so could perhaps get the numbers off that? But I don't know how so any advice very welcome!!
Please.I'm not sure if this will help you or not and you may have tried it already. But, I was having problems with my 20gb ipod (same one you have) and tried everything, including taking it to a local repair shop and even considered just chucking it. Then I read in one of these posts to simply reboot my computer. So I did and guess what, it worked. I felt like such an idiot but sometimes the simplest fixes are the ones you overlook. I don't know if itunes 7 needed a reboot or if there was a problem because other users (my wife) were logged into their user accounts also, but try doing that.
I hope that does the trick for you. If not, sorry I couldn't have been any more help.
