Iphone 3GS- How do you get the pictures to show up larger when someone call

Iphone 3GS- How do you get the pictures to show up larger when someone calls? I know this seems trivial but I have difficulty seeing, so one of the reasons I actually purchased this phone was for this feature. When the photos do come up they come up in the top right corner in small boxes / windows. I already google'd this topic and they suggested importing the photos - to itunes and than directly on to the iphone, I did this and it didn't work. Additionally I took a few test photos from the iphone and tried setting them to contacts. This didnt work either. I looked in settings and could not find anything that discussed this issue. Although I do believe I have seen iphones that ring with large pictures. Am i Crazy?

You aren't crazy.
Adding the photo to contacts on the computer gets you the smaller pix when people call.
Assign the photo on the phone itself and you get full-size pix.
Additionally I took a few test photos from the iphone and tried setting them to contacts. This didnt work either.
So, that certainly should work. Try it again? Try it with a brand new contact, maybe it is not overwriting a previously existing picture.
I suppose there is a small possibility that Apple thought this differing behavior was a bug instead of a feature and "fixed" it with a recent update, but I doubt it.

  • How do u get the company name to come up when someone calls you?

    I've recently got the iPhone and have many of my work contacts in with first name only and then company name. All that displays when a call comes in is their first name and not the company name which is really frustrating... Does anyone know an app or setting to display company name when a call comes in? Cheers

    Third-party apps can't affect things like that, so you'd need to send a feature request to Apple:
    http://apple.com/feedback
    on the Mac, in Address Book, there is a "Company" box I can check, and so I do have some company names showing up as the key info in contacts and on the call screen. But mostly I don't also have personal names for those numbers, so I don't know if even that works as you want--I suspect it would not show the personal name in such a case. And I can't find any equivalent of that box in the iPhone Contacts.

  • My podcasts do not show the pictures only the sound when I import them to iTunes from Garage Band.  How do I get the pictures to show up in iTunes?

    My podcasts do not show the pictures only the sound when I import them to iTunes from Garage Band.  How do I get the pictures to show up in iTunes?

    Well, all I can tell you is that if your file is an m4a with chapter markers, those markers having suitably sized images attached, and you drag it into the Music area of iTunes (so that it appears as a song) in List view, when you play it and then command-click on the small image in the header (next to the progress bar) you should see your embedded images.
    If this isn't happening the best place to ask would be in the GarageBand forum: my own experience of GB is rather out of date and in any case I've never used it for podcasting.

    How can I get the picture to show in Photoshop CS3?  The thumbnail image appears in the right side panel but the full image isn't showing at all.

    What specific information would you need?  The program was working just fine early yesterday morning and than when I came back in the afternoon to edit  some more pictures that is when I wasn't able to see the full image anymore.  It is providing me with all of the editing options as if the picture is there but it is just a blank screen with the thumbnail pic showing in the right panel.

  • How do I get the cells to show up darker when printing my document

    When using Numbers, how do I get the cells to show up darker when printing my document?

    Are you asking about the cell background, as ivmedic has assumed, or about how to make the grid lines separating the cells darker?
    Select the table.
    Use the controls shown above this table to change:
    Stroke type from "Thin" to the solid line shown.
    Stroke thickness to 1 pt
    Stroke colour to a darker value (This is set to black, the rightmost cell in the top row of the Color Palette available fir this Color Well.)
    the controls are toward the right end of the Format Bar.

  • How do I get the pictures to show up on Wikipedia on my iPhone?

    Everytime I go to wikipedia, the pictures never show up at the top. It's super annoying. Can anyone help?

    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    ~/Library/Messages/Attachments
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. A folder may open. If it does, press command-F to start a Spotlight search. Search for items in "Attachments" of kind "Image." Does anything show up?

  • How do you get the mail sidebar to remain visible when mail is turned off and on?

    I am using OS X Yosemite on an iMac with Mail version 8.1.  How do I get the mail sidebar to remain open so I don't have to reopen it each time I open the mail app? 

    You are not saying which Pages you have on the iMac but I presume you Pages 5. To add a period you use the keyboards key for a period. A Mac is not an iPad. They behave differently. Autocaps doesn't exist in Pages 5 but did in Pages 09 and Pages 08.

  • How do you get the "%" sign to show up in graphs?

    When I have a percentage in a cell, like "50%", and chart it, it shows up in the graph as ".5". How do you make the label of the graph to show up as "50%"?

    Hi Mac OS XP,
    Welcome to Numbers discussions.
    In a pie chart you'll see the percent sign, %, not in bar charts. If you want it to read 50% you may want to put in a text box then to that add 50%, that's what I do. If there's a better way I hope someone else will jump in here.
    Yes it would be a nice feature for sure.
    The folks on these Discussion boards are, as yourself, end users not Apple employees. Send feedback directly to the Numbers team: at the top of your screen to the right of the blue Apple please click "Numbers" > "Provide Numbers Feedback". I've sent many as well.
    Let's hope that the next version of iWork will incorporate many of the requested enhancements.
    Thank you in advance for doing that.
    Again, welcome to Numbers Discussions, have fun here.

  • How do you get the pictures off your iphone 4s when it want connect to icould nor wifi?

    My iphone fell in the toilet im trying to get my pictures off the phone but i can not connect to wifi

    If that phone has been synced in iTunes, you can restore from the backup after having restored the phone.
    There is also a little mac app that can read the iPhone backups that are in iTunes,called ibackupviewer.
    Then when there is no backup of the iPhone: read the following aricle:

  • How do you get the tools to show on the screen?

    I realize this may be a very basic question however I really need some help. I downloaded the free 30 day trial of Adobe Illustrator but when I open it there are no tools. There is no type, pen, or selection tools or anywhere for gradients. Does anyone know how I can get these to show up?
    Thanks

    figured it out...i created a shortcut and used that - that won't work because
    for some reason when I created the short cut the application path did not update
    so now just using the icon in the application folder.
    thanks!

  • How do you get the ipad2 to show up in home share in iTunes on my PC?

    I have done the basics, they are on the same wifi network, both signed into same apple ID, and the ipad2 sees the computer and homeshare works fine on the ipad2 side.  I see the computer, I see all my itunes from there, and can play them, etc. on the ipad2, but the ipad does NOT show up on the computer?  The homeshare is enabled (and obviously functioning because the ipad can see it), but the home sharing doesn't even show up on the list on the left of the PC.  I know I have it working properly because I had my daughter put the homesharing on her macbook pro and THEN the homesharing showed up on the list on the left on my PC, and I could see her laptop fine on my homesharing on the PC, but the ipad2 still didn't show up???  Can anyone help?

    If so, then connect the iPod to the computer. When it shows up in iTunes go to edit-->preferences and hit the iPod tab. Uncheck transfer album art. Click okay. Go back and recheck it. Let the iPod update and eject it when it is finished.
