Facebook/Contact Syncing

I wanted to sync my Facebook friends to my contacts. I'm logged into Facebook under settings, and I let it access my contacts. I hit update contacts, but I only got 10 out of all my friends.
1. How can I sync the rest of my friends to my contacts?
Note- I read somewhere that Facebook won't add contacts unless the person has other contact info listed other than their Facebook emai. That article was from last year, so is that still true?
2. How do social profiles work? For the 10 friends that synced, if I hit their social profile, it takes me right to their Facebook page. I thought if I added the social profiles of friends who haven't automatically synced, it might do something. I've tried adding their Facebook name, Facebook email, link to their page, but all it does is launch my Facebook app. Unless they've automatically synced with Facebook through contacts, will it work?

I can see you concern with you Facebook issue. Here is the rundown. Facebook does ask if they can sync with your contacts upon install of the application, but if for some reason it does not or it was missed follow this pathway. Contacts (as if you were to view you contacts), Select the menu button, select accounts, select the Facebook account, uncheck the green checkmark labeled sync contacts. If that is unchecked it should not sync with Facebook.
I hope this works for you, because what's the joy without Facebook on your phone!

  • Facebook contacts sync question

    Hi
    I have had my iphone 4 for a week now, and have no problems with it.  However today I went into my phone contacts and all my facebook friends are listed there too. I REALLY hate this, and want them gone and just all the phone contacts I initially set up to remain.  How do I remove them?
    Thank you.

    I've just realised this may have something to do with accessing I tunes on the phone yesterday.  I have the sync option in facebook turned off, its e-mail adresses that have come up in contacts.  I need rid of them!

  • Facebook Contacts Sync

    My BB 8530 took a dump and did a master reset.  I can no longer sync my BB contacts with my Facebook.  Doesn't even allow me to check the box for "Blackberry Contacts application".  Box is greyed out.  Can someone please tell me how I could fix this?

    Are you on a BES?  Those options are locked out by IT policy (by default) on BES devices running FB 1.6 or newer. 
    This KB should explain:

  • 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.

  • Facebook/Contacts/Profile Pics

    Recently all of my emails and contacts are showing their profile pictures, even if we're not friends on Facebook. This is really annoying, only because it's added images I don't need/want to see. Is there a way to prevent this from happening, and remove all of the current profile pics of those in my contact list? It's happening on all of my devices (macbook, ipad, iphone). Any help would be appreciated.

    disable Facebook contact sync by navigating to Settings > Facebook and toggling the Contats switch from ON to OFF.
    Also, if you are syncing your iPhone contacts via iCloud, make sure there are no profile pictures shown for your iCloud contacts - simply log in to your iCloud account from your computer and remove the pics. Same if you are syncing contacts over Gmail.

  • 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.)

  • *Syncing New Facebook contacts to be added to phone contacts ?

    My facebook contacts are synced with my phonebook. But when I add new friends to my facebook, then are not added to my phone. How do i do this ??? I've been trying for days! On my facebook when i click settings there is no option to sync contacts. Someone please help!!! Thanks

    The best way to do this will be to add the Facebook account on to your device. The steps for doing this are listed below:
    Menu
    Settings
    Accounts
    Add Account
    Choose Facebook
    Enter information
    Continue
    Once you have done this you need to perform a soft reset by  removing the battery then re-installing and powering the device on.
    After you have done this the contacts should be included on your device's.

  • Facebook contacts won't sync into phone contacts iOS 6

    So I had all my Facebook contacts linked nicely with my phone. And yes I liked having everyone's information in my phone. But suddenly all my facebook contacts have disappeared from my contacts. I've tried togglying sync with contacts button and signing out and back in to Facebook, about 25 or so random facebook contacts have synced with the contacts but I want all 400+ names in there. How can I get all my Facebook contacts to sync into my phone contacts?

    I feel shy I'm so sorry... I'm using Windows. Any chance to get contacts without completely switching to Mac? Maybe a kind of application, which will do all the magic and take all of my contacts into one place? With photos, Facebook profiles, Skype links, etc.
    And yes, I would be happy if the place will be iCloud.
    I tried one 3rd party application. It has the interface, which is quite similar to the native iPhone Contacts app. It does the magic and collects all my contacts from all sources. But it stores it inside. I want my contacts to be accessible by the native iPhone app.

  • Facebook account - syncing contacts

    hey there,
    does anyone know, when you add a facebook account, are your contacts that are stored locally on your address book (icloud account) been synced and merged with facebook contacts?
    if yes, are all the fields of your contacts (i.e. notes, etc) been merged and synced with facebook?
    thanks in advance

    thanks for the reply Eric, but unortunately my question is more specific and closely to the first post you mentioned.
    what i want exactly to know, if all the contacts and specifically all the fields of your contacts from your icloud are (i.e. notes, etc) been merged and synced with facebook account.
    thanks!

  • Can't choose contact sync in settings for Facebook

    Hi,
    After moving to a new Mac, Facebook connaction didn't work properly, so I set up again. The problem is, that I just can't choose to sync Facebook contacts with Mac's contacts. I click on it, and the arrow disappears. No error message whatsoever. Here is a short video about it:

    Hello Dmitry,
    I hope you have implemented the master note for CHARM with repect to your Solman SP Level. Additionally please refer to the note  0001602258 Create RfC - no values in project input help. This might help you.
    In our case i had the same issue even after implementing the note it did not work. Eventually SAP fixed the broken number range and removed the old project flags from the tables responsible.
    Best luck ..please try with the note first.
    Thank You.
