Contacts and facebook

I didn't authorize my phone or my facebook account to merge or whatever, but there are a ton of contacts in my contact list from my facebook friends list. I don't want them there. Most of them don't even have a phone number. My phone says I can't delete them (says they are "read only"), but says I can hide them. I've done that once, but now they are all back. How can I delete them for good?

This is not going to really help but, When you logged on to Facebook on the android a splash screen asked if you wanted to merge your Facebook friends and I am sure it was a knee jerk reaction but you accidently hit Ok.
In your phones settings there are apps that synchronize with your phone, facebook and gmail and hotmail and quite a few others do this and they do sync without you doing anything.
What I did was turn off the contact sync on facebook etc. then went to my contact list and got rid of them. Your owners manual tells you how to access these sync accounts. My wife owns the droid so I know a little about them but not so much more than a good owners manual...

Phone Contacts and Facebook

Hi everyone,
My contacts on my Z10 don't sync with Facebook correctly. When I try to add their Facebook name in contacts it doesn't sync. I have tried looking for the option in settings but can't seem to locate it. I performed a system wipe the other day due to an issue with the camera, and I'm sure the information wad syncing correctly beforehand. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hey dave-willis-cc,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Just to clarify, are you looking for Facebook contacts to appear in your main contact list? If so, go into Contacts and swipe down from the top and go into settings. You can turn Facebook contacts on or off here.
If this is not the case, please let me know.
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

Merge contact and facebook faces in iphoto

When I go to tag a person in iPhoto I get two choces....One is from facebook and the other is a contact. The facebook name is labeled Mary J. Frank Owen while the contact one is just Mary Frank Owen. The contact also has an email but the facebook one doesn't. How do I merge them? I try to merge the two faces in iPhoto but

Don't use iPhoto.
Iphoto is a Digital Asset Manager designed to protect your original file at all costs. In other words it treats the original like a film shooter treats the negative. This is hard-wired into iPhoto, it's the very heart of the programme. If you don't want that feature, don't use iPhoto/
Note that there are different versions of the photo, they are not copies. The Original is required for the Non-Destructive editing feature in iPhoto.
So, specifically, no you cannot merge the two folders - and by the way, doing so won't save any memory at all, just some diks space.
1. if there is any iPhoto settings that I change, so that it starts saving only 1 copy for each picture
There isn't.
2. If I could something with my already existing pictures - i.e. if there is a way I can delete "original" version of only those pictures for which "modified" version is available.
There isn't.
If space is an issue: use an external drive for the Library:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Or, just use an app that works the way you want.

Lumia 630: Removing microsoft live and facebook co...

I lost my Lumia 520 and had to buy the 630 model (which I think is a lot worse. It got rid of the side camera button,the camera has a weird yellow shade, etc. etc.) Anyways, all of my microsoft contacts and facebook synced automatically in my contact list. On my 520, I know there was I way that I hid these contacts/ didn't display them in my contact book. I can't find the option on my 630. I wish to remove both my facebook contacts AND my microsoft live contacts from appearing in my phone contact book. How can I do this?

Hi, texmeg. We'd appreciate it if you can give more details about your concern. Are you having issues with your account? What account are you referring to? Any error message? Please specify. When do you usually encounter this issue?
BTW, it would help the community to know your phone's model to provide you with appropriate steps/resolution. We'll wait for your reply.

That is awesome, works perfectly.
I'll get it worked into my main script. Is this Action Manager code, and not just regular Javascript from the Scripting Dictionary? I can't tell the difference. I'll see whether or not it's actually faster than Applescript.
Thanks. I know Scripting Listener records a bunch of stuff, but it's pretty amazing to me that playing back this line does the same thing that playing back the 1,011 lines Scripting Listener puts out.
Thanks.

I would like to know how can I delete all my contact that have been linked from yahoo and facebook? Help!!!!

Please help me It is drivng me crazy having all these contacts

Go to SETTINGS, then ACCOUNTS AND SYNC select facebook and uncheck sync contacts and then do the same for yahoo.
back up contacts w/ backup assistant that is under accounts and sync.
then go back to SETTINGS then APPLICATIONS then MANAGER APPLICATIONS then ALL select PEOPLE then clear data. this will erase your contacts so make sure you have it backed up.
then go to SETTINGS then ACCOUNTS and SYNC then backup assistant and sync now and this should put all your contacts back on your phone without being relinked to facebook or yahoo at least i remember it being something like this when i was trying to get rid of facebook being linked to my contacts on my Tbolt.

My iPhone has recently been crashing (or rather the apps) when I would try to access my text messages, contacts, phonebook, facebook, or email. I tried restarting my phone and lost all of my contacts. Anyone know what's wrong/how to fix it

My iPhone has recently been crashing (or rather the apps) when I would try to access my text messages, contacts, phonebook, facebook, or email. I tried restarting my phone and lost all of my contacts. This has been happening more and more frequently. Today I was in my pictures and was trying to crop one and my phone shut off completely. Anyone know what's wrong with it or how to fix it?

Make sure all apps are fully closed:
- double tap your home button
- hold your finger on an app
- when the apps start to wiggle press the red "-" button on all the apps
Now do a hard reset:
- hold the home button and the sleeps/wake button down at the same time
- the phone will shut off then when the apple logo ppears release both buttons
If by then your contacts have not been restored you would need to try and retreive them from a back up on itunes/icloud that was made when the contacts were on the phone. You could even stream them from the cloud if they were synced to the cloud. The link beow will show you how to restore from an itunes/icloud back up:

Also to prevent this issue which i have seen alot when users are still running iOS 5 it would be best to update the iOS on your phone. To do this follow the link below:

Hope this helps

Syncing contacts with Facebook and contact visualization in dialer

Hi,
I have spent a lot of time trying to sync and consolidate my contacts from Google and Facebook. I did have a couple of issues however and I am looking for advise.
1) Contact photo from Facebook are very low res and blurry.
- Xperia with Facebook account has the both contact & calrendar sync checked, and sync has completed, but no photos are synched.
- Facebook account has retreived the photo from Facebook, but it is extremely low-res and very blurry.
2) Is there a way - after linking a google contact to a Facebook one to quickly copy or merge (selected) Facebook contact details (like photo, birthday, phone number, email or address) into the Google contact.
3) Once I select a phone number as primary is there a way to see in the dialer (using T9 search) only the default phone number. Currenlty I may see a mobile phone from Facebook, another mobile phone from Google, and maybe a couple of other phones, and everytime I search for this contact directly in the dialer I need to remember and choose which number to dial.
So far the only resolution seems to be to switch back to exDialer, which would be a shame since this is my only complaint from the Xperia dialer.
4) Is there a way to backup the link between the google and facebook contacts? Is there a way to backup which phone number, email or address is default? Both of these are not preserved in google contacts, so everytime I reset or change phones I need to start all over.
I am looking for your advice and best practices and thank you in advance!!

OK, so after spending some time for research here are my findings:
1) Synching contact pics from Facebook to Android contacts: Facebook and Xperia with Facebook accounts do not work. As a workaround I have used Contacts+ application from the Google Play store, it works as expected.
2) Merging Facebook contact info (pic, phone number, email, birthday) to google contacts - have not found a way to automate or, best, semi-automate this just yet. Easiest manual option - view a contact, long press the phone/email/birthday, then edit the contact and paste. Will not work for the contact pic though.
3) Show a single record for the contact in the dialer and remember the default phone - Xperia dialer cannot do this, Contacts+ and exDialer can be used as a replacement though.
4) Backup the Google to Facebook link & the default selection for phone number, email, address in case of a hard reset or transfer between phones - no complete solution found yet, need to review more contact backup apps. At least one can edit the names of the google contacts so that they are spelled as in Facebook to make a future matches quick & more fluent.

Search (priority) of linked contacts between iCloud and facebook

Hi,
on my iOS I have linked contacts between iCloud and facebook. There have to be a priority, at least for searching for details in the contact, because i only find some of the contacts that a have a same note set by me in the iCloud card. When I link contacts with different names, the unified contact get the facebook name. Then I can't search for the details I have set for the iCloud card. If I choose "Use This Name For Unitief Card" of the iCloud card, I can search for it's details from that moment on.
Can I set this generel priority to iCloud?!

does nobody has the same problem/can reconstruct the behaviour?

Where did you get the device? Is it possible that it has an IT policy on the device blocking Facebook and/or Facebook options? Look in Options >Security Options >General Settings (actual menu paths vary with OS version) and see if there is any reference to IT policy.

So no one can or want answer this question?

Integrating Facebook in Mountain Lion has caused duplicated birthday events in my Calendar. Is there any way to show only the birthdays of my iCloud contacts, and ignore birthdays from my Facebook contacts?

I do not have any contacts on my local machine. Before updating to Mountain Lion, I stored all of my contacts and calendars in iCloud. When I updated and integrated Facebook, it added the Facebook contacts and all of their information to my Contacts directory. I have merged all duplicated data, and still my Calendar shows a birthday entry for my iCloud contact, and a second entry for the Facebook version of the same (merged and linked) contact. Is there any way to disable Facebook birthdays in my Calendar? Or, for bonus points, is there any way to merge the Facebook category of contacts with my iCloud contacts so that I never see duplicated data in any applications?

You can disable the facebook contacts by going to System Preferences -> Mail Contacts and Calendars -> Facebook, and the unchecking contacts. That will remove your facebook contacts from your contact book. Not sure if thats exactly what you want, but that's the only thing I could discover.

How do I remove Facebook contacts from my Contacts list on my 4S??? I've already gone into iCloud settings and Facebook is not even an option to turn off and I've gone into "Groups" in my contact list and Facebook is not there either. How do I stop this

Hmmmm...maybe try deleting them again (I know it's a pain) and then doing a manual icloud backup (unless you already did this). Icloud may be putting them back on there. I never allowed FB to put the contacts on my phone lol. Also try going into Privacy and Contacts...make sure FB isn't on in there. Might be a few other spots to check under settings to make sure too. And...you might want to try deleting the FB app, do a icloud backup, and then reinstall FB

Union between phonebook and facebook contacts on Z1

Preamble: my facebook app synch only contacts on my phonebook.
I'm unable to make a contact union from my phonebook contact to Facebook equivalent if name is not the same. For example I have a friend called A1 in Facebook and B1 on my phonebook and I connot make the link between A1 and B1.
B1 is not present in the search pane when I tried to make the union manually.
How to solve this problem?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

First you need to set the phone to display the Facebook contacts from Contacts -> [menu] -> Filter -> Facebook -> All contacts. Then open the contact you want to link (B1) and tap [menu] -> Link contact -> Show all contacts -> [the Facebook contact (A1)].
