Facebook Contact Application

Does anyone know why i would not be able to activate the Facebook Contacts app in the Facebook settings? It is grayed out and cannot be selected. I was able to select this initially when i got the phone, but shortly after i activated my enterprise email i was unable to do this. please help!

I would imagine your BES admin has put a policy on your device which stops you linking facebook contacts to your device contacts for increased security.
I don't think there is a specifc policy for this, but its probably affected as a result of changing some of the security IT policy items around Content protection/compression or firewall.
Check in Options > Security > General settings and see if content protection is enabled or disabled, and if enabled if contacts are included. If they are, this is likely the cause. If this setting has a little red padlock beside it, you won't be able to change it as it's been enforced by your administrator.
Hope that helps
Just a question. Can you have BES and BIS on a phone. Would this be a way for someone to use facebook on a company phone? Just wondering.

I don't want my Facebook Contacts added to my iphone Contacts as a result of this new update. Is there a way to prevent that from happening?

I've been told that when I apply the latest update issued by APPLE, it will add all my Facebook Friends into my Contacts on my iPhone. Is there a way to prevent that from happening?

Unfortunately when upgrading to iOS 6 the setting to add Facebook Contacts to your Contacts app is on by default. But once the upgrade is complete you can go to:
Settings > Facebook > and turn off Contacts.
That will get rid of the Facebook stuff showing up in your Contacts app.
BTW, I also turned off Calendar on my iPhone and iPad so that Facebook events and Friend's birthdays etc. will not show in my Calendar app.

1.4 - Important sites will not work & why are the AIM / Facebook contacts integrated with my phone contacts?

Two issues I am having with my phone.
1 - Before upgrading to the 1.4 software patch, I was able to visit some sites that I use regularly, one being www.hotschedules.com. I bartend and use my phone to look at my weekly schedule but now it will not work. Just to test it, I used a buddies phone who had not upgraded to 1.4 and the site opened JUST FINE!
2 - I want to use facebook and AIM on my phone but for some (stupid?) reason, ALL of my facebook and aim contacts get listed in the SAME LIST as my phone contacts. I do NOT want to scroll through hundreds of contacts to find someone. Yes I know there are shortcuts but why even do this in the first place?

Hello eculley and welcome to the forums;
I attempted the website you mentioned, and it loaded fine on 1.4.1.1 on my Sprint Pre. We did identify some issues with websites on 1.4, and this should be resolved with 1.4.1. I know 1.4.1 is not available for Verizon yet, however it should be available soon.
As for Facebook contacts, they show in the Synergy contact list by design, so that you can see all of your contacts in one master list. If you do not want those contacts showing in your Contacts app, you can open Preferences & Accounts for contacts and remove any account you don't want to see contacts for.
Hope this helps!

Iphone 4 automatically sending nuisance/ viral e-mail messages from my yahoo account to members of my phone/ e-mail/ facebook contact list. What can I do to stop this?

This has occurred on 2 different occassions. In both cases, I can not identify a viral email that I would have opened that could have started this as we are very cautious about opening unknown emails, and definately NEVER double click on links that come through in nuisance/ spam type e-mails.
This morning was the second time that it appears my iphone was somehow involved in automatically sending out a mass nuisance message to all my contacts (phone contacts/ facebook contacts/ yahoo contacts). The email contained no message - except for a single link to an unknown destination of course since I refuse to dbl click on it to see what I have sent out to my friends.
This is the second time it has happened. I have posted on facebook to all my friends to not open the message. I have deleted ALL my contacts from both my phone and from yahoo contact list. I even deleted facebook and all it's info. from my phone to remove their contact lists. I don't want this to keep happening to my friends. The only thing I haven't deleted is my phone contacts (phone numbers) but I am assuming it may very well happen again since the automatic message was also sent to my phone contacts. (Not sure how that even happens - an auto email to a phone number?)
I have been reading on this site that it is nearly impossible to get a virus on your iphone - however, what other explanation is there? I don't have a PC - I don't have any Windows products in my home. We own 1 ipad and 2 iphones at the moment. I never access my yahoo account from anywhere but my MAC products. What is happening and how can it be resolved?
Thanx!

if it's a message coming from your yahoo account, it means that your account has been compromised, not your phone itself. i would suggest changing the password for your email account

How do I add facebook contacts to my contact list

Hi, I need to know how to add my Facebook contacts to my contact list, thanks.

Facebook will be added in contacts as an addiitonal account separate form your others.
Cards for Facebook contacts that exist in your other account(s) will be linked but not compbined.
In otherwords, if you decide you don't want to turn off Facebook, you can turn it off and be right back where you started.

How do you remove facebook contacts from contact list in IOS 8?

Got a new 6+ today and it loaded all my facebook contacts in my contact list. How do you remove them. In IOS7 you used to go to settings/facebook/groups in upper left corner and uncheck face book, but its not there in IOS 8

Hey mmoore216,
Great question! You can disable your Facebook contacts from syncing with your Contacts application in the following location:
iOS: Using Facebook, Twitter, and other social network accounts
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5500
Sync contacts and calendars
iOS can sync your Facebook contacts and calendars with your device. This feature is off by default, but you can enable it in Settings > Facebook after adding your account.
Thanks,

hi me kashif Hello people,
I lost all my contacts on my iPhone. Facebook contacts integration is turned off. When I got to know that I have no contacts on my iPhone. I checked my settings and iCloud backup and contacts on iCloud (in settings) were off.
Is there a solution to get all my contacts back? Please help me. I want my contacts back, as soon as possible.
Thank you in advance.
iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.4

Unless as part of a backup, or stored somewhere else, they are gone.
Your son needs his own Apple ID for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage. He can continue to use yours for iTunes content, but for everything else, he needs his own.
When you did what you did, as far as iCloud knows, this is the same person with multiple devices, and that's they way things are supposed to work: keep everything in sync.

Hello ymprice91277, let's solve this mystery! To unlink the Facebook contacts go to Settings, Facebook, turn off contacts.

HT5500 I don't understand why my Facebook contacts are still in my iCloud contacts, even if it is enabled everywhere!

Facebook contacts sync is off on my mac and on my iphone, but they still appear on icloud (so, everywhere) !

Yes. iCloud on the web is correct although the latest stuff I added to my MacBook is not showing up because it won't sync.
In System Preferences iCloud is selected and they are turned on on both machines as always.
There are no other calendars linked to iCal. I just have a Home, Work, and Birthday and US Holidays all linked in.
I did try something on my MacBook that seemed to work. I went into System Preferences and turned off Calendars and Reminders in the iCloud setting. That prompted a message that all of the iCloud iCal data would be removed from the computer. I made sure the web version was accurate before I did this. Then I shut down my computer and restarted. When I restarted I went back into System Preferences and turned on Calendars and Reminders and now it seems to be working.
I'm about to try the same thing on my iMac.
If this works both times, my question then would be what would cause both my iMac and MacBook to disconnect as it seems from iCloud when I hadn't changed anything at all.

I just added my Facebook contacts with my iphone Contacts, how can I include those in my mac Contacts?

I did that, but the recently added FB contacts in my iphone are not on my mac's contacts.

My Facebook contacts not showing up in Mac Contacts.app!

After the introduction of syncing your Facebook contacts with iOS, my contacts aren't syncing through iCloud completely.
Contacts that are added through Facebook show up in my iPhone Contacts but are not showing in the Contacts.app on my Mac (Mntn Lion).
When I manually add a field to a Facebook contact on my iPhone it does finally sync to my Mac. But then I would have to find all my missing Facebook contacts so this is not a solution.
The solutions offered on http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3998 have not solved anything.
Anyone else with this issue, solution? Thanks.

That's because they are not on iCloud, they are on Facebook which is a seperate account.
Add the Facebook account to your Mac.

I can't update my Facebook contacts!

After I backed up my iPod I discovered that some of the Facebook contacts were missing, so I went to the setting, In the Facebook section there is update all contacts I click it and it say 0 contacts updated. So I erased and reseted my iPod and then re-downloaded Facebook, the I did the same thing and it still says 0 contacts updated. Plus because I erased my iPod all contact are gone.

Are you syncing contacts with iCloud? Settings>iCloud>Contacts
Go to Settings>Privacy>FaceBook. Do you have contacts turned on?

Did you try setting >facebook> turn off/on contacts. I dont understand but try this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5500 article which only has some basic info.

Mac OS X Mavericks do not sync all Facebook contacts

I'm using OS X (10.9.1) on a MacBook Air and I have added my Facebook account to the OS settings. The Contacts app did sync with Facebook but it didn't get all my Facebook contacts. Do I need to make any special configuration for that?

Hi,
Those messages seem to refer to this http://www.wondershare.net/mac-android-manager/
I presume you have installed this ?
Whilst these sort of error notifications can marginally slow things, depending on the number of them and the frequency of them it is difficult to say how they might effect another app.
I doubt this one is effecting Messages directly.
It might and I stress might have some involvement with the Contacts App which Messages also looks at for the iMessages account and possibly for "Real Names" in the Buddy list and Messages main window during chats and conversations.
Lets try a different tack.
Navigate to ~/Library/Preferences again as in the earlier reply.
Find com.apple.imagent.plist
Drag this to the Trash.
It will need you to restart this App. However it starts up when the computer does.
This means you can stop it using Activity Monitor (Open the app in Applications/Utilities find the imagent item and use the Quit Button top left then confirm a Force Quit) Or Restart the computer.
This is a support app to Messages and FaceTime.
It holds some of the Account info so that the computer (those apps specifically) can "Listen" for incoming "calls" or Chat invites.
At this point they will start the apps up - without intervention from you - if the apps settings allow it.
FaceTime just has to be set to On but not launched.
Messages has a setting in the General Section of the Preferences about being set to Off Line on Quit.

I tried linking the facebook contacts to my phone but for some reason the contacts doesnt wants to show the FB images even thought it says that it was sync. What could be the issue? How can it be fixed so i could get my facebook lined up to my contacts?

Firefox will not appear in the Market for most phones with incompatible hardware. You can check if your phone is supported here:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
Even on some supported devices, a bug in the Market software prevents Firefox from showing up. This may be related to the fairly recent Android Market app update. If you go to Settings/Applications/Market and choose "Uninstall" you can uninstall the update, and then search for and install Firefox from the marketplace.
Or, if you have a supported phone, you can download the app directly by typing this address into your phone's browser: http://bit.ly/fxbeta3
(Note: To download the app directly for an AT&T phone, you will have to search for instructions on "sideloading" the APK file, since AT&T disables the option to install from non-Market sources.)
