Contact 'screenshot' in my iPhone photos...?

I noticed that a 'screenshot' (literally) of one of my contacts has been placed in my iPhone camera folder, as I now have it in iPhoto within all the recent iPhone photo imports...
Has this happened to anyone else? How did it happen - and can I ensure it wont happen again...
Jules.

Your iPhone can take a screen-capture by holding down the bottom 'HOME' button
for 2-3 seconds, and then depressing the top 'RESET' button momentarily while
continuing to hold down 'HOME'. You will see a simulated white 'flash' on the iPhone
screen, and the screen capture will appear as a photo in your latest Camera Roll.
Unintended shots can be deleted from the Camera Roll just like any photo you might
take using the iPhone's camera.

My wife and I both have the new iPhones. Is there a way to set up two separate iCloud accounts but have photo stream from both phones sync with one family mac? So we don't want to share contacts or anything else, just photos... Thanks in advance

If you turned off Contacts wouldnt that mean that the Contacts would no longer be backed up to iCloud as well? That would make it a pain when upgrading a phone to not easily pull contacts back down.

After changing contact photo on iPhone, photo no longer shows up in outlook

I had my contact photos all setup on my iphone, and syncing correctly with iTunes and showing up correctly in Outlook 2007. The photos are stored on the iPhone, and set either by selecting the photo and doing "Assign to Contact", or in Contacts, Edit, Edit (the picture) and "Choose Photo". They would show up as a thumbnail in the Outlook 2007 Business Card view, and also in the detail when you double-click a contact. This part of the process hasn't changed.
What has changed is iOS4. Now, when I go in and change a contact's photo on the iPhone, it no longer shows up correctly in Outlook 2007. It shows a blank space when showing the Business card view, but shows the photo correctly in the detail if I double-click a contact. Even if I change it back to the photo that it was, it still won't show correctly in Outlook 2007 Business Card view.
Contacts whose photos I haven't changed since iOS4 show correctly in both places in Outlook 2007.
Anyone else seeing this or have a fix?

Hi!
I'm having the same troubles and after searching for a while i found
the following solution:
In short (from http://gyoo.com/blog/?p=48)
First, some figures:
iPhone camera resolution: 1600×1200 (72dpi)
iPhone screen resolution: 320×480 (160dpi)
iPhone contact picture display size: 64×64 (160dpi)
iPhone contact picture display size on call: 320×270 (160dpi)
Outlook import resolution: 72×96 (72dpi)
- On your PC, resize the image contact to 320×320 (160dpi),
knowing that 25 pixels on the top and bottom will be semi-transparent when on call.
- On your PC, create a folder iPhone Photos\Contacts and move your contact photos inside Sync the photos into your iPhone with iTunes through the Photos tab.
- Select the iPhone Photos folder as source.
- Manually associated the photo to your contact on the iPhone
(Edit ->Add Photo->Choose Existing Photo)
- Sync back the iPhone with iTunes.
The photos will be associated automatically into Outlook with the good resolution this time.
Regards
Harry

I need to move my photos and contacts from my old iPhone 3 to my new iPhone 4. When I open iTunes, it is not letting me sync my old phone so I can back up to my new phone. Any thoughts?

Buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store, install it, and run Software Update twice.

I recently gave my old iPhone to my nephew, he switched it to his phone account, but somehow I now have his contacts on my new iPhone 5. When I look at my iCloud account, it lists his contacts. Is there any way for me to get my contacts back?

I recently gave my old iPhone to my nephew, I did not clear out my old phone before I gave it to him, when he transferred to his account, he had my iCloud info on the phone, and it updated the contacts on my new iPhone 5 to his contacts. Is there any way for me to get my contacts back?

This is caused by using the same iCloud account on both phones. When you do this any data you sync with the shared iCloud account such as contacts is merged and will appear on all devices connected to the account. To fix this you both need to have separate iCloud accounts (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores).
Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (i.e., deleting your nephew's data from your account, and vice versa).
As for recovering your lost contacts, if they aren't on icloud.com when you check from your computer, you will have to recover them from a backup source. You could try restoring to your last backup but this doesn't always work for contacts. (Chances are you nephew deleted your contacts from his phone, not realizing it would also delete them from yours.)

Contacts created on the iPhone do not get synced to Outlook Contacts

For some reason, contacts created on the iPhone do not get transferred over to Outlook Contacts.
I sync the iPhone to my work computer for Calendar and Contacts. I sync to my home iMac for tunes, video, and photos. So far this is the only problem I've encountered. Calendar entries created on iPhone sync to Outlook Calendar ok (and vice-versa). My iTunes sync setting on the work PC is Sync contacts with Outlook. All Contacts. The other two choices ("Selected Groups" and "Put new contacts created on this iPhone into the Group") are greyed out and unavailable.
I'd appreciate any advice....

I have been unable to sync Outlook 2002 and iPhone 2G since I upgraded to 7.7 and 2.0. Don't want to have to upgrade outlook but will do so if I know it will work. Anybody not having the problem???
I have spent hours trying to resolve. Please help

Photo on my iPhone Photo Library that I want to delete.

It's not in iPhoto on my Mac, yet shows up in the iPhone, Photo Library and it will not delete. How can I delete it? This is one of the reasons I dislike iPhoto.
iOS 5 and OS X Lion (latest iOS's)

Thanks for responding Rysz.
When I say Photo Library, I'm referring to the file hierachy inside the default 'Photos' app that ships with iPhone.
Once opened you are presented with the following list of Albums.
Camera Roll
Photo Library
Last Import
Last 12 Months
Inside the Photo Library, if I select the photo I want to delete, my action options are: Share, Copy, Add To. Not delete. There is no way to delete a photo from iPhone once it is inside the Photo Library.
If I tap to open the photo my only other options are in a UIActionSheet:
Email Photo
Message
Assign to Contact
Use as Wallpaper
Tweet
Print
Cancel
I'm pretty familiar with Apple devices and user experience, but this seems a major bug.
If anyone has an idea, that would be great.

Contact Picture size when iPhone rings

My wife's iPhone 3G displays a contact's picture differently than mine and we can't figure out why.
When her phone rings from a contact where a picture is stored, the Wallpaper is displayed large in the middle and the contact's name and picture is displayed small across the top.
How can we set her iPhone to display the contact picture full size?

Here's what you need to do.
In iPhoto set up a new album. I named mine "Contacts". In this album put all the photos you'd like to use for your contacts. I suggest 1200x1600 sized photos because that's what the iPhone photos are (so you'll get a consistent experience).
In iTunes, sync this album to your iPhone.
On the iPhone, go to Photos, and select a photo and push the button on the bottom left of the screen. Select "Assign to Contact".
Once you've found the appropriate contact it will now appear full screen when you receive a call.
Hope that helps!

How to set iPhone photo name pattern?

Is there a way to specify some other naming pattern for iPhone photos? Currently, the photos are named: IMG_nnnn.JPG (where 'nnnn' is a sequential number). Specifically, I would like to specify a name that uses the date (e.g., 20080214-nnnn.jpg). Minimally, I would like to have the names be in lower-case.

Read the User's Guide, it covers basic functionality of the device including how to add pictures to contacts.

Problem iPhoto imports triplicates of my iPhone photos

Hello,
When i want to import my iPhone photos on my mba'2012, iPhoto wants to import 3 times each photo.
Instead of importing 1006 photos, iPhoto imports 3018 photos !! :-/
For example, for a IMG_1500.jpg, iPhoto imports IMG_1550.jpg, IMG_1500_2.jpg and IMG_1500_3.jpg. (same size for each photo)
Everything is fine in the Photos.app in my iPhone, i see the exact number of photos (1006).
HDR is OFF
So what the problem?
Thanks in advance.
For information:
iPhone 4S 5.1.1
MBA 2012
iPhoto 9.3.2
OS X Mountain Lion
(On OS X Lion, i have the same issue)

First, thanks to help me.
For your question, here a screenshot of Image Capture:
Always the same problem...
This means that there a problem with my iPhone ?

HT1766 iPhone photos lost during syncing; are they still available

Today I decided to sync my iPhone 5 and download the new version of the operation system because of warnings in the news about security breaches with the older versions. When I plugged the device in and selected it, I was not presented with the option of syncing but was guided to a screen with two choices: 1) register a new device or 2) restore the device to the settings of the last backup (2/27/13). I chose restore since the device was already recognized by iTunes when I plugged it in. There was no dialogue warning me that restoring means that you will be deleting any new data stored on the phone since the last backup. This is a crucial piece of information worthy of a red flag and warning similar to those you get if you attempt to delete a photo or contact. I proceeded through the restore process; eventually, there appeared an error message saying that the restore had failed. I unplugged the iPhone then plugged it in again. This time, I was guided to the screen for syncing and proceeded to sync apps, calendar, photos (there is no music on the device). When I finished, I discovered that many, many of my most precious photos and the albums I had created to arrange themon the iPhone were missing, although many of them remain. Most of the photos on the iPhone at this time are those that were already stored on the computer in Picasa while many of the iPhone photos I was attempted to save by syncing have disappeared. Is there any chance of recovering these photos, either on the computer or on the iPhone? My Photo Stream option was on for the photos, but most of them were apparently not captured and are missing from Photo Stream on the computer and on the iPhone.

I am not computer savy....I was trying to add some contacts and it would not let me. My grandaughter told me I had to sync phone. I did something stupid I told it to restore to last back up. I got all old contact information. I messed with it until I got my current contacts back. Everything is back to normal except my photos are gone.

Try this method:
- Find the "Images" Folder with Finder.
- Right click on iPhoto Library and select "Show Package Content".
- Delete "iPod Photo Cache" completely (don't worry, there is no necessary items inside).
- Plug in your gadget and select the desired photos you want to copy from your library.
- That's all. Now you must have your photos on your gadget without any error.

Syncing iPhone photos with Dropbox

Hello All,
I just switched from 6 years of Android to iPhone this week and am in the process of getting everything just as I like it. Two things i'm strugling with are:
Syncing with Dropbox: I had on my android an app called DropSync which synced all my photos and anything I chose to a specific folder in dropbox and vice-versa. Is there a way or an app that does the same thing where I can sync the albums I made on my iphone with dropbox folders over the cellular network automatically. Please advise.
Syncing Google contacts: Any tips on solid apps to sync my google contact to my phonebook without creating duplicates - or maybe an app that detects duplicates and merges them on my iphone address book.
Thank you all in advance!

Here are links to a couple of ways to achieve this:

IPhone photo sharing invitation cannot be made

iPhone photo sharing invitation cannot be made
with iPhone 6, latest iOS

Hey Vivian Su,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are experiencing issues sending iCloud Photo Sharing invitations. The following resource may provide some insight into your issue, along with a potential resolution:
Get help using iCloud Photo Sharing and shared albums - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201077
I sent email invitations to my shared album, but not everyone received one.
Try these steps:
Ask the invitees to check their junk or spam email folders for the invitation.
Send the invitation again. An invitee might not get the message if their mailbox is full, or if there's a filter that prevented the invite from being delivered.
If they didn't get the invitation, ask the invitee for another email address that you can send the invitation to. If you're using iOS 7 or later, you can also send the invitation to the phone number that they use for iMessages.
Ask the invitee if they've ever received an invitation, and if they might have unsubscribed from iCloud Photo Sharing emails. They can use the steps below to get email invitations again.
If they still don't get the invite, contact Apple Support for help.
Thanks,
Matt M.

After I edited my contact list on my iphone I set up the icloud account. Now all of my old contacts have been added to the edited ones. If I delete the icould will I lose all of my contacts or just the ones brought in by icloud?

You cannot delete an Apple ID, you can just stop using it. If your photos are still on your phone now, then I suggest you do back them up. Transfer them from the phone into your iPhoto Library. iCloud only backs up your Camera Roll automatically. But the Camera Roll only contains new photos that were taken but not yet transferred using iTunes.
