Facebook n contact pictures

I dont understand this facebook sync with my contact pictures. I have two accounts so how does it kno what friends on my contact list if they are on the diff facebooks?
Can anyone explain how it tells the people apart on my contact list? I have diff profile pictures for the two diff facebooks so how does it kno which picture will show up on there end of the phone?
Hope this makes sence. Cheers

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

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....

Both in safari and Facebook app. Likewise, can't see any Facebook contact pictures on contacts app. my softwar is up to date. my Facebook app is updated. please advise any solution to this. When you view it from safari, no pictures are shown and it looks

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.

Contact Picture Bugs

I have 2 complaints about contact pictures. One is fixable in WebOS directly, the other may be Google's fault. My first problem occurred when I took a picture of my coworker with my Pre and used it as the contact picture. It synched with Google and worked fine, until I wanted to change his pic to another. I changed the photo using Google's contact editing page, and his photo is now correct in the contacts app on my Pre, but when he calls me, the old pic is what shows instead of the new one I set. I have deleted the pic from my Pre, and I cannot find anywhere that the image is assigned to his contact info, I only have his contact info coming from Google, nothing from Facebook or Exchange, or my Palm Profile.
The other problem is with Google's contact picture sync. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has noticed that images added to contacts from the Pre show up with lots of artifacts in Google's contacts page, the only way to avoid it is to add the picture from Google directly, not on the Pre. They are minor problems, but they make a difference to me. Thanks to anyone who can help me fix this, or to Palm when they make the changes.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

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!

Contact pictures not showing in text-messages section of HUB

I noticed a bug/mistake in the text-messages section in the hub.
When you are writing text message, contact pictures in the top left corner are showing only
for some contacts.
I don't know whats the reason for this.
Does anybody have this issue also - or does anybody know a solution?
Regards Johnny

Hello johnny_1830,
Thanks for your feedback, do these contacts have pictures saved in the contacts profile? Or is the contacts picture linked from a social media account for example Twitter or Facebook?
Thanks.

Contact pictures after upgrade

Xperia with Facebook stopped syncing contacts from fb after the update, so I need to use the Facebook account to sync contacts.The contact pictures are in a very low resolution, they are useless. Removed the facebook account, deleted the facebook app data, still having the same issue. Also have this issue, with the google account pictures. Is there any solution to sync those pictures properly?

Hi zsolesz79, this cannot be changed as Google only allows this level of resolution. I advise downloading a third party Contacts app to sync them with.

Show contact picture in Mail

Upgraded my MBP (most recent release) to Lion... I noticed my brother's Mail app now shows the contact picture in the message list (along the left of the message)
My mail app is not doing the same and I've been hunting through help and settings menus... Any help to turn it on would be a huge help.
I use MobileMe to sync my accounts, also my contact images come from the iphone FaceBook app syncing.
thanks!

Mail is tied to Contacts. Whatever picture you have under that contact in Contacts will be presented in Mail. Delete the photo in Contacts and it will not show up in Mail. A very BAD feature and far to Windows-like, that one application would have control of another without the ability to turn that off, but even Apple comes up with some doosies that make you scratch your head once in awhile. I hope they correct it.

Contact Pictures Missing

I have a 4 year old that will pick up my phone when im not looking. Im not sure what happened to my contacts however, all my pictures to my saved favorites contacts and a lot of additional contact pictures are missing. I had them synced with Facebook. I see she deleted my facebook from my accounts, so I added it again. However not all the contact pictures are syncing back up with my phone. Any suggestions on how to fix this so I can get my pictures back for my contacts?

cduffy, I know how children can be interested in a cell phone because of how much fun they are so I totally understand. I am happy you were able to resolve your issue. Please let us know what steps you took to figure this one out. I wanted to list below some steps to merge your contact information from facebook with your phone.
The Motorola Droid contact list application uses an intelligent merge feature to combine contact information from various sources (Gmail, Microsoft Exchange, Facebook, new entries, etc.).
From the home screen, select the applications tab (located on the bottom of the screen).
Select Contacts.
Select the Contacts tab then select the desired contact.
Select Menu.
Select Edit contact.
Select Menu.
Select Join.
Select the contact.
Information from these contacts will be merged and be displayed as one contact.
Verify the contact information has merged correctly (e.g. phone numbers, email address, etc.) then select Done.

Sync wont update contact pictures on Windows 7 Contacts

I use the application MyPhone to sync new facebook pictures to my iPhone contacts.
I also use iTunes 10.1.0.54 to sync with my iPhone 4 and have it set to sync contacts with 'Windows Contacts'. That ends up coming into the 'Contacts' folder in 'My Documents'.
Although, when I update the pictures with MyPhone and try to sync them back to my Contacts it does not update the Contacts on Windows.
Surely I cant be the only one with this issue. Is there a fix?

When you're syncing your iPhone with iTunes, are the new contact pictures on your iPhone reverting back to match the photos in Windows Contacts?
I'm also a windows 7 user and I sync with windows contacts as well. What I have noticed, although I sync over the air with MobileMe, is that syncing with windows contacts is not too reliable. Eventually changes will show, but it may take a few syncs and photo updates. Maybe try downloading windows live connector and link your windows live ID with your Facebook account. I believe this too will sync contact photos with their Facebook photo.

HT1386 I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S). I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone. But not sure how to do that.

I have an older iPhone (3gs) and need to upgrade to a newer phone (4S). I need to get my NOTES, CALENDAR, CONTACTS, PICTURES, etc backed up on iTunes so I can get that data loaded onto the new phone. But not sure how to do that. When I open iTunes it has a button that say "Back Up iPhone", but I'm not sure what that does. When I go into the sync options it say I have another user account and asks me if I want to merge of replace. I'm assuming it's trying to tell me I have an older iTunes Library, but don't know that. Geez, maybe people over 60 shouldn't have iPhones, iTunes just bafles me.

My computer crashed and I have to get my data from my old drive to another computer, to ensure I get all my data what do I need to get. I have and ipad and an iphone. I need to get apps, contacts, pictures, etc. Is there a way to do this? It was a vista pc and the new is win 7. I can grab the backup files, and music, but what about my apps? I do not want to sync on the new pc since the apps aren't there. Were are the app files located in itunes? Can I just copy them to the new computer?

You can transfer itunes purchases: File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
The iphone is not a storage/backup device. The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception is itunes purchases.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
