Editing Contacts Photos

So if you have been noticing in the Apple iPhone photos on www.Apple.com they show an outgoing call with their contacts picture in the upper right. Now if i set a contacts photo it always appears in teh background of the call, not in the upper right. How do i set it so when i call ther persons pic appears in the upper right corer and my wallpaper appears behind the call?

If you set a contacts photo with the iPhone, it appears full size in the background with the caller ID.
If you want it the contact's photo in the upper right like the Apple iPhone photos, set your contact's photo with Address Book only and not with the iPhone.

Smart Albums don't display in Photos App, only when edit Contacts Photo

I created a Smart Photo Album on my Macbook Pro and synced it to my iPhone4. When I open the Photos App, the smart album isn't listed but when I edit a Contact's photo by clicking on the Choose Photo button, the Smart Album is listed along with all the other albums.
But when I just go to the Photos App on it's own, the Smart Album is still not there.
Anyone have a similar problem?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That sounds like an iPhoto or iPhone issue and not an iWeb one. Post your question in the Installing and using iPhoto '09 or iPhone forum.

IOS 6.1 editing contacts photo crash

Hello. I think this may be a user-wide 6.1 issue, meaning everyone with an iPhone 5 and iOS 6.1 (at least) are susceptible to this bug/crash.
Normally when I edit my contacts and give that contact a photo, I would copy the thumbnail (little square) from the camera roll album, without actually opening the full-size photo. After doing this, I would go into Contacts > Edit and longpress over the "add photo" and putting "paste" would drop the thumbnail into the contact. Reason behind this was so that when I get a call from any contact, I get a small thumbnail photo as opposed to their big face/large photo appearing on my phone (I just find this more refined). It worked fine in the past, as I often am adding new photos to my contacts.
Today however I tried the same and discovered that I am experiencing a fully-reproducible crash... go ahead and try it. Go to your camera roll, copy any of your thumbnail photos (don't open the photo), then go to Contacts (or Phone) app, Edit, and paste it over the "add photo" (or existing photo). This will instantly cause the Contacts/Phone app to crash, without saving any data you have edited within that contact by that time. It's very frustrating because it means I can't edit my contact pictures at all by this method, no matter where the photo originates from or what contact/type of contact I'm editing. (FYI: All contacts of mine sync through iCloud)
I have tried power cycling the iPhone (turn off/on), rebooting (holding sleep+home), and jettisoning all my apps. Nothing fixes the issue, so I have come to the conclusion that it must be an iOS 6.1 bug, at least on the iPhone 5. If anyone has any solutions, recommendations, or has also experienced this... please help.

I ran into the same problem on iOS 6.1 on an iPhone 4S. Same repro steps except that I copied my image from within Safari. I agree that this method of adding images is best as it avoids having to safe the image you want to use to the photos app.

HT2486 Editing contact photos in Address Book doesn't work

Whenever I try to edit a contact picture in Address Book, the edits don't hold. I might reframe or recrop the image, and then click "done." And everything seems to be fine, for two or three seconds. Then it simply snaps back and reverts to the way it was. Sometimes after it reverts, it also shifts upward in the square, leaving a large black space at the bottom of the frame.
Why is this happening and how can it be stopped?!

Quit Address Book and go into your Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder and delete AddressBook-v22.abcddb. Open Address Book and it should recreate the index. See if that makes a difference.

My photoshop CS4 keeps crashing while I am in the middle of editing a photo. I am running Mac OS X 10.9.4. I have tried to contact support and I was directed here.

You were redirected to this user forum because CS4 is no longer supported by Adobe at all.
We'll need a lot more info before we can help.
You'll have to manually determine whether Photoshop CS4 is updated to version 11.0.2 (the Adobe auto updater is most unreliable in CS4), and give us plenty of other information.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, video card specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.

When I try to add a photo or edit a photo in my contacts, it won't bring up "Faces"

I am trying to add or edit a photo in my Contacts, but when I click on Faces it doesn't bring up any of my "Faces" from iPhoto.

When you add Faces in iPhoto, add first the name to your Contacts. Then quit the Contacts app, and use the name from the Contacts to name the face in iPhoto. Quit iPhoto.
When you now open the Contacts again and open the card from contact you used for an iPhoto face, you will see all faces assigned to that contact.
For example:
I first created the card "Peter Mohn".
Then I named a Face with "Peter Mohn", using the suggestion from the Contacts.
Now I can add a photo using the named face.

Jabber 9.2, uploading the contact photo from local machine or PC.

is it posssible to upload contact Photo from local machine to jabber from 'edit profile'? I did that but nothing happened! still no contact photo.
Thanks,

Hi Shane,

I will send you the problem on Monday once I get back to Customer Site.

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.

Contact photo not updating widget

Hello...heres the short version:
I have a widget of a contact...and my contacts are sync'ing with Facebook...When my contact updates their photo on Facebook; my Contact App updates; but my widget does not.
Heres the longer version:
Okay I know there are two ways to create a widget/contact. For instance....lets say you have a Contact named John Smith...lets say you talk to him more than anyone so you want a Fast Shortcut....and John Smith has a full fledged Facebook Profile. John Smith has his name, phone numbers, address, and more. So you want a quick and easy way to get access to John Smith; right?
Theres two ways to create this shortcut on one of your homescreens....The first option I'm sure everyone will do is to hold down on part of your screen and choose 'add widget'...as you scroll thru you will come across a 'Contact' widget...its a 1x1 size...which is the size of any app on your homescreen...so you click it and drag it to a space on your homescreen. Next it will bring up your full conact list...here you will scroll down and select John Smith. John Smith now appears on your homescreen pages. Click the "icon" and you have quick access to Name/Phone Numbers/Address/Facebook/and Maybe More
Now lets say John Smith updates his photo on Facebook, you know this cause you just launched Facebook an hour ago....so you go into your Contact List...and you're like "hmmm no updated photo"...so you go into your Settings>Accounts>Facebook>And you see the last time it sync'd with your phone...which was 1 day ago...you're thinking "okay no biggie theres a 'sync now' option" Voila.....Your Contact App now reflects his updated photo....so you back out of your Contacts or you Click your Home Button and you see that..........yep....his photo didnt update. So you remove the battery...you reboot device....,and no go.
Now you could just remove this shortcut and re add it but what if you were accustomed to previous cell phones that automatically updated the photo? This is where I am landing...I'm here asking if the Galaxy S4 has this feature?
Ahhh dont forget theres another option to go by......
So remember I said the common way of adding the shortcut was going thru Widgets? Well theres 1 more way of adding a contact to your home screen....and that is...going into your contacts...find the one you want...John Smith...Hold down on the screen til a menu appears and if you scroll to bottom (Galaxy S4) theres an option that says "Add shortcut to Home Screen". And voila...theres John Smith on your homescreen...His photo is the Icon/App that again you have easy/quick access to all the numbers he published...his Map (Address) and a quick link to Facebook + others if he has it....
But again when John Smith updates his Facebook Profile pic....and you know cause you just exited it...You re sync' under Settings and again while it reflected on your Contact App...it still didnt affect your Shortcut!
So my previous Cell phone was a Motorola Droid Razr (1st Edition)....my droid razr did have that feature...when someone changed their profile pic it would reflect the widget too.
The Galaxy S4 (for me) doesnt do that....my Contact Photo still changes when I manually perform a Sync and it shows up in the Contact App, but it doenst reflect the Widget....is this natural for Samsung? Or is my Device not working correctly?
Thanks

Heres an update:
Okay whether you use the Widget to add a contact to your homescreen
Or you go into contacts; find your contact and hold down to select menu that says "add shortcut"
Either way....if they have a photo it will product a photo icon on your homescreen.
Everyone knows this....however what I did find out is that when a person has a Facebook linked with that contact and they update a photo; when you click that Shortcut their updated photo will appear in that small window of theirs...however it wont update your shortcut you created....does that make sense?
As to why? I dont know

Export contact photos from Address Book [REPOST]

Exporting contact photos from Address Book in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger is a simple drag-and-drop to iPhoto or Finder. The picture is saved as a TIFF. However, in 10.5 Leopard, dragging the contact photo is non-responsive in both viewing and editing mode.
How do you export contact photos from address book in Leopard?

I dont believe you can. The address book usually makes use of photos already available on your drive, such as those in your iphoto libraryd, or the login icons, etc. Perhaps the lack of drag and drop is something they unintentionally left out, in which case you can request it by sending Apple feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

Nokia 6300, iSync, and Contact Photos-

Thanks to the following links, I was able to get my new Nokia 6300 to successfully sync with my Mac’s Address Book via iSync:
http://klauskjeldsen.dk/2007/06/08/free-nokia-6300-isync-plugin/
http://nokia6300.net/8/new-version-of-the-nokia-6300-isync-plugin
http://brent.kearneys.ca/technology/2007/how-to-sync-a-nokia-6300-on-osx/
http://kaspers.freeflux.net/blog/archive/2007/04/13/how-to-isync-a-nokia-6300.html
Unfortunately, two things didn’t sync up: Birthdays and Contact Photos. After politely asking people if there was any way to get these to work (especially photos, as it’s nice to see someone’s picture pop up on the phone for faster recognition before you unceremoniously reject them) I tried to tackle this one on my own. I was able to dig around in the plist files of the Nokia N93 and glean the few lines that make both of these details available to the Nokia 6300 plugin.
Before we begin however, I’ve noticed some problems that can occur with Photo syncing. PLEASE READ THIS THOROUGHLY before continuing: it’ll save some head-banging and frustration later.
Failing to follow the following guidelines will result in a completely failed sync. Should this happen, I simply deleted all of my contacts on the phone (phone memory, not SIM card), tried to determine the problem, and tried again.
Also, note that if you do end up deleting all of the contacts on your phone, you’ll also lose your 1-touch dialing and the entries in your caller groups (but not the groups themselves).
Here we go:
Do not use .GIF files — JPG only! (I didn’t test PNG)
You cannot drag-and-drop from a web-page directly onto a contact. Although this works for Address Book in that you’ll see the ‘image edit’ window pop-open, and you can save your contact, when it comes to iSync your entire sync will fail. If you want to use someone’s image (from Facebook, for example) simply drag the photo you want from the web-page onto your desktop, and then drag the photo from your desktop onto the Address Book entry’s ‘contact photo’ area. You’re then free to delete the image from your desktop.
You cannot sync with a ’smart group’ that you created within Address Book. This has more to do with iSync than the new plugin, but it’s a pain nonetheless. Physical groups only!
When a sync fails, you are not told what failed, or why it failed. iSync detailed logs are useless too, stating only:
5:28:24 PM Error [Nokia 6300] An unexpected error occured.
5:28:24 PM Error Device "Nokia 6300" synchronization failed
Fun! What I did was create a ‘temp’ group, set iSync to sync with that folder only for contacts, and then slowly add contacts into that temp group until a failure occurred so that I knew what the offending entry was.
The plugin that I’ve created is essentially just the one from the site listed above, but with some additional properties put into the PhoneContuit.plist and SyncEngine.plist files.
As with everyone else, I take no responsibility if this completely fcks up your phone or Address Book, but please do backup both your Address Book (File -> Back Up Address Book…) and your phone’s contacts (I typically just copy everything to SIM). I can say that this has worked fine for me for a day now, with a fair bit of testing. After I cleaned up my offending image-entries, it’s been great.
To install: Quit iSync, download the following zip file, and drag-and-drop the plugin into your system using the shortcut, and sync away.

Setting contact photos

I've recently been editing my contacts so their pictures will be included in their profiles, is there any way to set a contact photo from a source other than my pictures? For instance, if I don't have any photos of one of my contacts, can I pull one from Facebook or the internet without first having to save it to my photos?

No. The photos need to be in the Photos app on the phone. I like that idea though.

Contacts photo doesn't use correct zoom-in

Since iOS 7, after I set a contacts photo in the contacts app, close (double-tab home and swipe up, miss the old way as I keep accidentally closing apps) and reopen the app, the photos aren't zoomed in the same way they were before, and attempting to edit it without "replacing" the photo opens one with awful quality.
Can you help me get it to zoom in properly, and possibly edit the existing zoom properly, as well?

Try this, take the photo you want to use and zoom in on it. Take a screen shoot. Now try and use that photo for contacts.

How to get a contact photo appears like in iphone ad (small on top right corner) when dialing or receive a call?

Hello everybody, I just want to make any contact photo appears in right top corner as appears on iPhone Ads (small - Top right corner), I mean not Full screen. when I make or receive a call??

Hi,
It comes up with a Small Contact image as it is Linked to the Facebook or Twitter Account.
But if you edit the Contact and Upload the Image its not possible to get the Small Contact Image.
A Contact needs to be linked to an Account.
You can signin to Facebook and Update the Facebook Contact through:
SETTINGS > FACEBOOK > Turn ON Contacts > UPDATE CONTACTS.
Then,
Go To CONTACTS > GROUPS > Select FACEBOOK.
You Phone Contact will get Linked to the Phone Contacts with Small Contact Images.
Check It....
HOPE THIS RESOLVES YOUR ISSUE.

700P/Verizon: Cannot find some contact photo files?

Hello,
I have a Treo 700P (on Verizon) that I'm trying to get all of my data off.
I noticed that some of my contact photos that were taken with the Treo camera while editing the contact are NOWHERE to be found either on the external memory card that I'm using (SD card) or on the internal memory.
Does anyone know where these type of image files are stored and if they can be accessed? I have quite a bit of contacts whom I took a picture of them while I was editing their contact profile that I cannot access (or don't know where to access) the image files.
I've looked up and down in the Pics & Videos app and cannot find these pictures. I finally figured out that the pictures that I cannot find are the ones that I had taken as mentioned above (while editing a contact and selecting the picture from "camera"; it's either "camera", "photos" or "remove" as options).
While in Palm Desktop, if I open a contact in question, same thing, the image is there within the contact but I cannot do anything (like copy it or anything else), other than select a different photo file or remove the current one.
I have the "FileZ" app, but I don't really know what I'm looking for (not sure if that app would allow me to find these files in question or not, just thought I'd throw that out there in case it would help).
PLEASE someone help me if you can!! I'd definitely appreciate it! I like quite a few of the pictures that the Treo took while I was making the contact file for family/friends, but I cannot get any access to them!
Obviously these files are stored somewhere and they must be on my PC as well (I'm running Vista), but, again, I cannot find it in the Pics/Video backup directory that Palm Desktop creates neither (it just has the same pics/videos that are seen on the Treo itself under the Pics/Video app).
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Verizon)

thanks thetreoguy!
I do realize that the image quality is no better than a small thumbnail; but, is there still a way to extract it from the database? I'm not using the pictures for anything other than to use them for profile pictures on another smartphone (so they do not need to be high-rez images, just exactly what they are on the Treo).
I do use a SD card for image storage, but didn't realize while editing a contact that if you select "camera" from method of adding a picture that the Treo would take the picture but not store it in any usable area. If there is no way to extract at all from the contact database, then I guess I'm just S.O.L. then, huh?
I do appreciate your response very much as I was thinking it might only be me having the problem! haha
If you have any idea how I could extract from the contact database, it would be awesome!
Thanks again!
