IPhoto doesn't recognise all contacts from Facebook friends

Hi - I'm trying to tag some photos in iPhoto of friends I've recently added on Facebook, however these friends don't seem to be coming up in the list of contacts in iPhoto when I type their names in. I've never had this issue until now, and I'm wondering if I can force iPhoto to refresh/update the list of available friends to tag?
Thanks!!

it's only the name without a profile's link that appears, Why ?
This is not clear
The basic operation is that facebook uses the e-mail address that you put in a users information in iPhoto to link to their Facebook profile - so if the e-mail you use in iPhoto does not exactly match their facebook email then it does not find them

Can I delete all the contacts from Facebook in my phone contact list.. !!!

I am a new i phone ower... had Droid for over 4 years..   Currently... I miss my Droid!!... iphone seems to control me.. and I hate that
I have to use itunes..
Now it tells me (iphone 5).. I can not delete those off my phone contacts from Facebook. I don't want all those on there I rarely speak with
or contact..
PLEASE tell me how to control my phone..
Peggy

Thanks.. did that...   When I try to download facebook to my iphone
it asked for my id, pwd.. etc.
You're welcome.
Not sure how your FaceBook contacts were available or are available with the Contacts app on your iPhone if you have not already downloaded and installed the FaceBook app from the iTunes App Store.
This is when you try to download the FaceBook app from the iTunes App Store on your iPhone, or when accessing the FaceBook app on your iPhone that has already been downloaded and installed?
1. Voicemail.. I tap the person who left message.. in the voicmail.. (I think I am in the right screen/program)... I see the little button at the bottom moving as if a recording is on.. but NO volume.. nothing!!
When selecting Voicemail from within the Phone app and selecting a voicemail to listen to the voicemail, have you selected Speaker at the top right to listen to the voicemail through the iPhone's speaker? If not, you need to place the iPhone to your ear to listen to the voicemail.
2. How can I delete pictures off the "photos" .. camera roll and all that downloaded from Facebook, etc. and my latptop. I DO NOT want???
Select the Photos App.
Seelct Camera Roll from Albums in the Photos App.
Select Edit at the top right to select a single photo to delete or multiple photos to delete followed by selecting the Red Delete button at the bottom right, or with a photo selected from within the Camera Roll viewing the selected photo full screen, there is a Trash Can icon at the bottom right. After selecting the Trash Can icon at the bottom right, a big red Delete Photo button is provided along with a Cancel button.
Seems like these iphones do more than the owner wants.. NO control and I understand no customer service .. made me sicke no "owner's manual etc. to refer to as a hard copy. .. sorry I am much older than the average iphone owner, so I like to have hard copies... cause I don't trust my laptop to keep all the info, etc.
What?
You must be joking. I'm no spring chicken and have never needed to check the iPhone user guide.
There is plenty of control; Apple includes a mobile version of the iPhone User Guide with a Safari bookmark, or you can download the iPhone User Guide as a PDF file from here

How do I import an iPhoto Library (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.

How do I import an iPhoto Library (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.

So what exactly did you copy over? If it's a 12 gig iPhoto Library then it sounds like the files are there. Perhaps the copy went wrong along the way.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

IPhoto doesn't recognize all Photo Stream albums.

When I take a photo with my iPhone, the photo goes to my photo stream. I then send it to my TV Photo Stream album. The TV Photo Stream album is displayed on my Apple TV. My issue comes when I sync my iPhone with iPhoto. iPhoto doesn't display all my photo stream albums, i.e."TV Photo Stream" How do I get iPhoto to display all of my photo Stream albums? I only use one account, so I know that I am signed in under the right ID. I am not sure were to post this inquire, should it go to Photo Stream or iPhoto? I am not sure what App has the issue, or is it just me? Thank you,

iPhoto: 9.5.1 (902.17)
MacOS X version 10.9.4
Upon opening iPhoto, it asks me what photo library I want to use. At the left hand bottom there is a box saying (translated by me from Norwegian):
"iPhoto cannot start without a photo library. Select a library from the list, find another library on the machine, or create a new library to import files into. The library you chose now, will be used automatically next time you open iPhoto."
Then there is a box with no libraries listed, and underneath I've got the options of creating a new library or simply clicking "other library".
First time this happened I created a new library and thus there are 2 libraries: iPhoto-library and iPhoto-library_2 to chose from when clicking "Other library" There is also a non-selectable (grey) "Photo Booth-library" in the same list, which is in the path user/Photos/iPhoto-library or .../iPhoto-library2. But when clicking either of these the "open" button just keeps flashing indefinitely. Upon trying to open iPhoto-library or iPhoto-library_2 from Finder, it just opens iPhoto and prompting me to chose library like before...
The only thing that I changed (I think) is that I installed PSE 12.

Importing contacts from Facebook

When importing contacts from Facebook does the Skype or Facebook name display in the accept request?

Use your Settings app.
Settings > Facebook > turn off contacts.
Check to make sure calendars is also off so all your friends birthdays won't show up on your calendar.

IPhoto doesn't recognise my iPhone or iPad

When I first got an iPhone I could sync it to iPhoto and take all the photos off. Now iPhoto doesn't recognise my iPad or iPhone. I've deleted caches. I have spent hours on this and its getting me no where.

Just to be clear, are you asking a question about iPhoto for the Mac or the iPhoto.app on your iPhone or iPad? This forum is specifically for the iPhoto.app for iOS that's running on your iPad or iPhone. You might want to post your question in the iLife/iPhoto fourm here:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/iphoto
Be sure and let everyone there know which version of iPhoto you're running.

My contacts have been transferred from my iPhone5 to iPhone6 . I now need to back them up in a new PC in a separate address book How can I do it without adding all contacts from Outlook when I synch from iTunes ?

From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

Is there some way that i could copy all contacts from my ipad to hotmail?

Is there some way that i could copy all contacts from my ipad to hotmail all in one go? Please and thank you.

You could try syncing your iPad to your computer, Then, if you have outlook, you can import those contacts, via a CSV (comma separated values) into hotmail.
A tedious but works way, and not all in one go, is to e-mail them to yourself and then open that in hotmail. Not what you wanted I know, but maybe a fallback if the import doesn't work.

How do I get all contacts from my iphone 4 to icloud?

All you have to do is enable iCloud on your phone and turn notes on. They should automatically appear on your phone.

It's a good idea to backup your Mac Address Book application and iCal Calendars application from each application. This way you can go back and pull out items if you lose something. I do this everyday.

How to copy all contacts from iphone 3gs to google nexus 5 ?

how to copy all contacts from iphone 3gs to google nexus 5 ?

Copy the contacts to a supported application on the computer to sync to the Nexus, or you can sync the contacts to a Google account, which you will have with the Nexus and then sync them to the Nexus.

HT5465 how can i delete a contact ( or all contacts ) from i phone ios7 ?

how can i delete a contact ( or all contacts ) from i phone - ios7.0.2 ?

The fact that those internal contacts lists aren't editable is an irritation to many. I've submitted feedback to Apple several times on this, asking that in a future OS release they should either
Provide a way to directly access that list of 'Recent Addressees' and Delete unwanted ones, or
If not that, then at least mode it so that addressses selected from that list bubble up to the top, therefore over time moving the unused ones down out of sight.
Other have added their own ideas, and the more they hear on this topic the more likely a future fix will become. If you feel that you would like the change, then put together your best case for it and make your wishes known directly to apple via their established Feedback links:

Siri doesn't recognise my contacts

I have just upgraded to a new iPhone 5c. Now Siri doesn't recognise my contacts (or most of them) when I ask her to call them. When I ask her to dial a phone number she doesn't recall the last two numbers and says she can't dial that number - what is wrong with her??

I just had that issue last night. I said call Clare and Siri said. I am not permitted to do that, Jesse.
Turned FaceTime back on and she called right after. Enable FaceTime?

Whilst updating my boyfriends phone after backing up to iTunes it accidentally got disconnected. when reconnected it synced all contacts from my phone back instead. can this be reversed and his data retrieved ?

whilst updating boyfriends iPhone 4 it got accidentally unplugged from iTunes's .
when reconnected it starting syncing all contacts from my phone and did not list his phone in
the devices drop down bar.
help everything gone from his phone and now he has some of my contacts and his phone says
its called Emma iPhone now instead of Tony's iPhone.
where has his back up data got stored?

Your only choice at this point is to restore your iphone. Since it appears from your post that you have never synced to this computer, you of course will not have a backup to restore from. That means your only choice is to restore as a new device & re-sync your itunes content. Unfortunately, all of your contacts, calendars, pics in your camera roll, etc., will be lost. Its not a good idea to use the iphone or any phone for that matter as a storage device, as things like this can & do happen. You should be syncing on a regular basis. The first thing done when you do sync is an iphone backup. You should also transfer pics in your camera roll to a supported application on your computer on a regular basis, much like any digital camera. You can always sync pics back to your phone, but if the only copies are on the phone, you run the risk of losing them.
See if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

Sir I have lost my all contact from my iPhone 4s, can we get them back

Dear Sir,
I have lost my all contact from my iPhone, Can we get them back. If yes then HOW ?
and second thing is that my email icon is not being open please help.
Thanks
Raghvendra Pandey

There are two ways to have photos on the iPhone. First is the camera roll, these are the pictures you have taken with the iPhone camera. The second are pictures that are synced to the iPhone through iTunes from the computer you sync with.
The pictures in the camera roll are designed to by imported to the computer just like photos taken with any digital camera. They are not designed to be only stored on the iPhone.
If you imported the pictures to the computer or performed a backup of the iPhone prior to the attempt to upgrade software on the phone,all you need to do is restore from a backup. If you did not create a backup, you can look for the last backup you made if the pictures would have been included in that backup. Unfortunately, in that last case, you will also lose everything you have done since that backup.
If you have been backing up or syncing with iCloud, the pictures should be there. If you have not done any of the above, the pictures are lost.
