Facebook contact pictures show up in my iPhone 4s

I am trying to have my Facebook contact pictures show up in my iPhone 4s. I have the FB app installed AND already followed these steps in the FB app:
1. Friends
2. Sync Contacts
3. Synching (turned on)
4. Replace photos (turned on)
Now, it did work for a very select few contacts, like 6... For examples:
For my contact "Allison" it added her current FB profile pic & put a bunch of gibberish under notes (<sn>id:122360 etc...)
For my friend "Pat (Last name)" it added his current FB profile pic but did NOT put a bunch of gibberish under notes.
For another contact it did not add the picture but still put the gibberish in notes.
It doesn't seem to make a difference if I have someone by just their first name, a nickname or their full name. Some work, some don't. & that's where I'm at. If there is some ez way to go individually into a contact & sync it to a FB profile, (like android) that would be ideal because it's not working this way. I have read a lot of other's threads but no one seems to have any answers more than the steps I already did. If anyone has any solutions it would be MUCH appreciated.
Thank you!

Do you mean it won't show up as the little icon in Music, for example?
For some reason, Apple decided to remove that icon even though there is plenty of space available for it. You must now use Control Center to access this functionality, if I am understanding your problem. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and look for the AirPlay icon.
This is a senseless regression on the part of Apple, one of many arbitrary changes that users have to figure out. This goes against Apple's previous culture, that made iOS something even a toddler can figure out. Now we need a modicum of expertise to use this OS. That's bad....

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.

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.

Facebook contact pictures

Hi all,
I upgraded from a Z1 now and loving this Z3. I've noticed however that the Xperia with Facebook app isn't syncing the high resolution pictures of my contacts. I'm wondering if this feature is missing or removed. Has anyone else noticed this?

I have the same problem. I saw the solution here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/help/caller-id-photo-t2895902, but i think that there should be the solution without 3rd party apps

When I call my friends a different persons picture shows up from the Facebook linked contacts. How do I get it to show my picture in there contacts?

I believe its the person who had this phone number before me. My friends that have Iphones and have there contacts linked from facebook my picture shows up as another persons. How can they fix that?

Stoed,
Let's get to the bottom of this iCloud backup issue. Have you ever had your Facebook contacts synced to your contact list? Did this issue begin after a software updage or downloading of an application? If you go to Settings>Facebook does it show you signed into your Facebook account there?

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!

Contact Picture sync behavior

Problem: I add a new contact picture on the iPhone, later sync: the pic loses its resolution and becomes a low-res 'Address Book' picture that appears in the top-right corner when someone calls.
I know the topic of contact pic has been hashed out lots already, but I haven't found this answer yet. How do I get my iPhone contact pictures to stay on my iPhone contacts in full resolution after syncing to MacBook Address Book?
What happens: take a new picture with the iPhone by going to the contact / Edit / add photo / Take Photo, or add a picture by going to the contact / Edit / add photo / Choose Existing Photo -- the contact picture will be a full-screen full-res contact photo; the person will call and their picture will be the full background on the phone call display. Then I sync a couple times with my MacBook with 'Sync Address Book contacts' checked: the full-res photo will be lost, replaced by a low-res version that only appears in the top-right when the person calls.
It's like the first sync Address Book receives the photo from the iPhone, the 2nd sync the iPhoto replaces the high-res photo with the low-res one that Address Book is using. When it happens with a new photo it appears there is no way to recover the higher-res photo (very sad sometimes). It doesn't happen 100% of the time - perhaps there's a variable I'm not seeing.
Others have said that you only get the low-res, top-right picture if you assign the photo to the contact in Address Book on the computer, but I'm also getting it when I simply sync to the computer. I've never added contact pictures using Address Book.
My wish: Address Book would accept the higher-res version photo. Fallback wish: Address Book uses a low-res version, iPhone keeps it's higher-res version. At the very least, let me choose which device takes precedent in sync!
Is there a workaround? A way to recover the higher-res version? A way to make the higher-res picture stick? Mostly I want to know: is anyone else having this problem?
Thanks for any info in advance.

It seems that with each upgrade the feature that allow you to assign a photo to a contact keeps changing the way it works. When I select a photo and used the cropping tools, the results are not even close to what you selected on screen with the crop and zoom functions.
How do we get this bug fixed!
Thanks!

Facebook profile pictures not showing up in my Contacts

For some reason only two or three of my contacts show their facebook profile pictures, even though probably 75% of my contacts have facebook photos... why would the pics only show for a few contacts? And how do I fix it? I've checked FB settings and phone settings, but I must be missing something!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can easily delete your Facebook account from the #Z10, reboot and set it up yet again and allow those pictures to sync.
