Iphone 5 contact pics
Is there a way to sync the pics for my iphone 5 contacts with the profile pics of my friends on facebook without using an app? Does this phone have this functionality?
A sync would not do what you describe, only a restore from backup would.
The only way to restore the missing data would be to restore the device from a current backup.

sync performed on new iPhone 4, and ALL my new info (contacts, pics, etc) GONE!! It went back to my old iPhone info... how do I get my iPhone 4 info back?? The look and everything about the phone is like I have the older version!!! I'm sure the data was backed up... but where, and how do I retrieve!!???
If you don't have the prior computer backup files, you may want to look at this to get your information from the phone:

At Apple Store we reset my Iphone 4s to factory settings in an unsuccessful bit to fix my Wi-fi problem. Now I'm home trying to get my contacts, pics, etc. back. I'm lost...
Okay - see if the instructions here help: http://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521

apps and music should be in your itunes media library, sync to itunes to get them back on your phone.

How do I have my wife's iphone 4s upload pics to the same icloud I use for with my 4s and ipad? Can seem to change her icloud ID to match mine.
I can tell you how to do this but first wanted to be sure that's what you want to do. You would then be sharing the same iCloud account and any synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.) would then be merged and the merge data would appear on her phone and your iPad (i.e., you'll end up with each other's contacts on your phone). You would also both be backing up your devices to the same account, sharing the 5GB of free storage (assuming you're both backing up to iCloud).
There's an alternative setup that would allow her to set up your iCloud account on her phone as her primary account and just turn on photo stream in that account (allowing your to share you photo stream), then set up a secondary iCloud account on her phone that would sync her Mail, Notes, Contacts, Calendars and Reminders. She would still have to back up her phone to your account, as well as syncing Safari, Documents and Find My iPhone (all of which can only be done in the primary account). Also, her mail would be fetch, not push as push email is only supported in the primary account.
I suppose a third option is to leave things as they are and share you photos with each other using shared photo streams.
Let me know what you want to do and I'll give you the steps. -
Right now when someone calls that I have a contact pic set for, it shows as a thumbnail on the right side of the banner (right corner of screen). I want it to come up on the whole screen like I see other iphones do. I was told at first that this happens when I use a pic not taken with my phone, such as an uploaded pic from my pc. This is not the case, the only 2 that I have tried to do were pics taken with the iphone. Can someone help me to get this corrected? I have spent over 2 hours with verizon, they cannot figure it out and I also have a senior technical advisor at Apple trying to figure it out, but I am curious if anyone has come across this with the new 4S and how they fixed it. The senior apple advisor thinks it has something to do with syncing my contacts through itunes or google.

Is it because the portable drive is NTFS format and the Mac wont recognise this? If so what do I do?
Yes, this is exactly what is causing the problem. Macs cannot write to NTFS formatted drives, only read. You must move the documents to the internal HDD/SSD of the Mac to be able to edit them.
Or, since you say you don't want to move the documents to the internal storage, you'll need to format the external HDD as FAT32. -
Full screen contact pic troubles
full screen contact pic not possible even after 1.reset my iphone 2. take photo from phone camera in Edit Contact 3.Change Camera to HDR and interestingly, after saving pic in contact it reverts back to small pic again after a while though a couple of times full screen pic is shown while dialling out or in. But always it becomes a Thumbnail later ! Also, my son's photo is taken from the gallery after I took his pic from the phone and now it is perfect though my other family members and friend's pics do not behave that way even though I have erased the name and inserted it again from scratch - its the same ! And I have noticed , some contacts are possible with full screen pics and some don't though the process is exactly the same ! And no. no Facebook connection either. Like my wife's profile does not exists in the Facebook.

GLITCH ALERT! iPhone 5 contacts syncing
GLITCH ALERT! iPhone 5 contacts syncing
Hey all,
I wanted to make you all aware of a glitch I just experienced with my iPhone 5 (black, 32 GB).
The glitch concerns the syncing of contacts between the iPhone 5 and my laptop.
I synced my contacts today and the order the information was displayed was randomized, in that it was not the order I chose, this affected the contacts app on both the iPhone and my laptop. For example, I have my phone number fields in this order: home, mobile, work; my e-mail address fields as: home, mobile (for text), mobile (for pics), work; I have a similar orders for URL fields as well.
On any given syncing session, for each contact, either all the fields within all categories will be in a totally different order, or some of the categories and their fields will be intact while one or two will be randomized. For example the order for my phone numbers might be randomized as work, home, mobile, NOT as I indicated above.
I spoke with Apple Tech Support and the particular tech said this is the first he’s heard of this problem, and that in syncing, the display of entries on the laptop app and on the phone should match. He suggested as a solution to back up the iPhone and restore the phone to the factory settings then restore the backed up files. They also advised they would alert the tech engineers.Thanks for the suggestion, which I ‘ve tried to no avail. I’ve also been through all the troubleshooting steps in the Apple guide.
I’ve done some more experimenting and I now think iCloud is the issue.
If I add contacts to iCloud they appear on both the phone and mac but not the other way round. Everything else (Calendar, Reminders etc.) syncs fine.
I noticed that in Notifications on the iCloud web site; mail, calendar, reminders and find my mac are all ticked but contacts doesn’t appear at all. Could this be significant?
Can anyone help?
(PS my earlier comment that contacts added to the mac appear on the phone was wrong) -
Address Book & iPhone rearranging contact fields by themselves
I've been searching for a solution to my issues but haven't been able to do so, neither on any forums or anywhere in the internet.
I've got iPhone 4 iOs 5.0.1, Mac OS 10.5.8 and Address 4.1.2 and I have 2 problems;
1) Whenever I try to rearrange the fields of one my contacts in the Address Book, I can do so during "Edit card" mode. As soon as I hit "Save", everything is back to square one.
I mingled with Address Book/Preferences/Template but no solution. Still, almost each of my contacts have different fields and different sortings which are not in line with my templates.
2) When I sync my phone via iTunes, things get even more complicated. My phone rearranges the fields with different templates and they vary from contact to contact.
I must say that the main problem is with phone numbers as I only have Work & Home for the address fields and they just work fine.
However, with the contact numbers, instead of the mixture described above, I'd like to have a standard template in the same following order such as;
Work
Home
mobile
mobile 2
etc...
and be able to use that very template all over.
Can anyone give a hand please?I actually just posted this issue as a question before I saw yours, the thread is titled "GLITCH ALERT! iPhone 5 contacts syncing"

Why is there missing info in the windows address book fields after syncing iphone 4 contacts?
I am reaching the end of my rope trying to deal with syncing/backing up contacts and other "non copyright protected" content from my iphone 4 and my desktop (and preferably my laptop as well). I've spent literally days trying to solve this problem with ultimately no solution. So, cutting through my MULTIPLE issues and focusing on one primary I need help backing up my contacts from my iphone 4 to ANY computer. Here is what I am working with:
A relatively ancient (5yrs) Window XP desktop with virtually no contacts in Windows Address Book and with only the native Outlook Express on it.
An iphone 4 ios 4.3.1 that was initially and is still setup/synced with the above XP box (minus checking the sync contacts box).
An iphone 4 contact list that is primarily populated by about 200 contacts transfered from an old ATT SIM from the previous ancient phone.
A new Windows 7 laptop that I would love, love, love to use in conjuction with the XP for syncing/backing up not protected, personal data and iphone purchases.
So, with that in mind I have been syncing my phone with the XP w. the "manual manage music..." box checked and all other syncing options other than apps unchecked. I wanted to backup by contacts for emergency recovery and to allow sycncing for the increasing business contacts. Should be easy right? Not so much. I tried clicking the "sync contacts w/ windows address book" option and then synced. I go to WAB and the contact list is there. However, if I look w/in each contact the fields are not filled in. If it was a contact that had name, number, address on my phone the WAB version has the name listing but nothing in the number/addy fields. Now, this is true w/ virtually every contact and most were from that SIM transfer. HOWEVER, contacts that I added ON the iphone (ie manually w/ the phone) DO have complete information.
So, what do I do to make an actual, complete backup of all the contacts on my iphone w/o having to manually reinput all of the real information?? I'm frankly terrified that in trying multiple solutions I will lose all my phone contacts which at this point in my life would be absolutely devistating (ie I would probably lose my job). If it is a matter of newer hard/software I would gladly sync to the new Win 7 laptop instead but there I run into the other aggrivation of apple making it so bloody difficult to use one ios device with more than one personal computer. I'm dumbfounded and frustrated on soooooo many levels and would send countless good vibes to anyone who can help! Advice? Solutions? I'd promise my first born but who wants that these days...? Help, please! ;-)
BTW, sorry for the long wind but I'll add on my "optimal solution" if anyone is feeling especially helpful and has an answer:
I'd like to be able to plug my iphone into both my XP desktop and my Win 7 laptop and sync/backup to both freely (that is after all the real intent of syncing, non?) I don't care about music, videos, or other protected content. I manage that manually and frankly, I can do without having on the iphone as long as I can accomplish being able to sync/backup/restore all the iphone stuff like apps, settings, personal info, and contacts to both the desktop and the laptop. The purpose is that I need to be able to use and recover everything (on the road or at home) if either my laptop or my iphone dies/disappears. But, understanding impermanence as it relates to portable devices, I want a solid backup of everything at home waiting on my desktop. Is that really too much to ask apple???Seriously folks? I know it was long but I added all info to negate a need for endless back/forth clarifications. No answers???
FYI, i tried syncing contacts to google/gmail and it was a total clusterF as well. No gmail contacts, synced iphone, gmail contacts populated w/ all info but w/lots of repeat entries. Used seek and merge repeats in gmail and then resync but no such luck. Lots of iterations and nothing but fails. Seems everytime the phone and the gmail lists are "as desired" a new sync puts a ton of repeats back into gmail or onto phone. Still perplexed and still needing help....
pretty please.... -
Why aren't all of my iPhone 6 contacts automatically on my Macbook Pro?
My iPhone 6 is backed up to iCloud, however, even though my mid 2014 Macbook Pro (running Yosemite) is logged in to iCloud, only a small portion of my iPhone's contacts are present.
Note-
1. All updates are installed on both devices.
2. I double-checked in the setting to make sure that phone's contacts were backed up to icloud
3. My iPhone is set up to do sync to iCloud (and I would prefer to do it that way rather than setting up a local workaround)
Am i missing something? how is it that some of my phone's contacts are present and others aren't?
The issue persists on iCloud.com (when I login, only a portion of my contacts are present)
Thus, I'm thinking that this must have something to do with my phone not properly synching all contacts with iCloud. Suggestions?The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.

Lost all my contacts in Mac address book. Tried syncing my iPhone/iPad contacts to Mac via iTunes and is not working. Please help
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unless you have the contacts backed up somewhere, you won't be able to restore them.
You and your son should have your own iCloud accounts then you can keep your own contacts and calendars etc and avoid deleting each others.
