Merge contact and facebook faces in iphoto

When I go to tag a person in iPhoto I get two choces....One is from facebook and the other is a contact. The facebook name is labeled Mary J. Frank Owen while the contact one is just Mary Frank Owen. The contact also has an email but the facebook one doesn't. How do I merge them? I try to merge the two faces in iPhoto but

Don't use iPhoto.
Iphoto is a Digital Asset Manager designed to protect your original file at all costs. In other words it treats the original like a film shooter treats the negative. This is hard-wired into iPhoto, it's the very heart of the programme. If you don't want that feature, don't use iPhoto/
Note that there are different versions of the photo, they are not copies. The Original is required for the Non-Destructive editing feature in iPhoto.
So, specifically, no you cannot merge the two folders - and by the way, doing so won't save any memory at all, just some diks space.
1. if there is any iPhoto settings that I change, so that it starts saving only 1 copy for each picture
There isn't.
2. If I could something with my already existing pictures - i.e. if there is a way I can delete "original" version of only those pictures for which "modified" version is available.
There isn't.
If space is an issue: use an external drive for the Library:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Or, just use an app that works the way you want.

How to un-merge contacts and apps?

We have a new iphone 4 in the house. Previously with 4 of them, no problem. Now 3 of them are merging contact and apps. How do I un-merge the phones? I really don't need to see my daughters friends numbers, and any apps she adds appear on my phone.

how can i separate the film so i can edit it.…
You can't.
But is the Project not anymore in your iMovie Library?

Merge contacts and spinning wheel!

I have just over 500 contacts and I want to resolve duplicates and each time I click to merge the duplicates it seems to start but then takes ages to seemingly make any progress. After 24 hours the process is still continuing with the progress bar still on the screen. I then give up and force a quit.
How long should it take to merge the duplicates? Say 60 or so fo them?
Why is there a spinning circle beside my icloud Address book. It never stops spinning?
If I make changes to an icloud entry does that force a change to the 'on my mac' entry.
Many thanks

If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the grey Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal.

Phone Contacts and Facebook

Hi everyone,
My contacts on my Z10 don't sync with Facebook correctly. When I try to add their Facebook name in contacts it doesn't sync. I have tried looking for the option in settings but can't seem to locate it. I performed a system wipe the other day due to an issue with the camera, and I'm sure the information wad syncing correctly beforehand. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hey dave-willis-cc,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Just to clarify, are you looking for Facebook contacts to appear in your main contact list? If so, go into Contacts and swipe down from the top and go into settings. You can turn Facebook contacts on or off here.
If this is not the case, please let me know.
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

Contacts and facebook

I didn't authorize my phone or my facebook account to merge or whatever, but there are a ton of contacts in my contact list from my facebook friends list. I don't want them there. Most of them don't even have a phone number. My phone says I can't delete them (says they are "read only"), but says I can hide them. I've done that once, but now they are all back. How can I delete them for good?

This is not going to really help but, When you logged on to Facebook on the android a splash screen asked if you wanted to merge your Facebook friends and I am sure it was a knee jerk reaction but you accidently hit Ok.
In your phones settings there are apps that synchronize with your phone, facebook and gmail and hotmail and quite a few others do this and they do sync without you doing anything.
What I did was turn off the contact sync on facebook etc. then went to my contact list and got rid of them. Your owners manual tells you how to access these sync accounts. My wife owns the droid so I know a little about them but not so much more than a good owners manual...

How can I merge original and modified folders in iphoto library?

I see 2 folders within iPhoto library - originial and modified. Original folder keeps all pictures in original and modified has the edited version for picture I edit. So iPhoto basically keeps 2 version for any picture I modify, which takes a lot of space.
I would like to have just one copy for each picture (original picture or only modified version of the picture if I edit) - this way I think I would save a lot of memory. Could someone please advise
1. if there is any iPhoto settings that I change, so that it starts saving only 1 copy for each picture
2. If I could something with my already existing pictures - i.e. if there is a way I can delete "original" version of only those pictures for which "modified" version is available.
Let me know if anything is not clear or you need any more information. Thanks in advance.

ICloud merge contact in iPad and iMac

Hi, I just set up iCloud on my iMac and iPad
I would like to merge contact and notes
The note on the iMac appear on the iPad but not the other way round.
Contact from iMac and iPad don't merge
Thanks

Please try the following…
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

Export contacts and calendar to microsoft outlook

How do I export contacts and calendar to microsoft outlook? Everything is correct on icloud and my phone but outlook calendar and contacts got wiped out. Perhaps during a retore of the phone? I've tried all sorts of setting changes with the help of IT but nothing works. Using an export function from icloud only exports one contact at a time even thought I select all. When I use the icloud control panel to write a file, it bombs out regardless of whether I select all contacts and calendars or selected ones. At one point I accidentally merged contacts and calendar entries (double and quadruple contacts). I've manually corrected both contacts and calendar entries on icloud so that it and my phone are now correct, but the outlook contacts and calendar are remain empty and will not sync. I've spent days on this debarkle.

same problem here. let me know if you find a solution.

Lumia 630: Removing microsoft live and facebook co...

I lost my Lumia 520 and had to buy the 630 model (which I think is a lot worse. It got rid of the side camera button,the camera has a weird yellow shade, etc. etc.) Anyways, all of my microsoft contacts and facebook synced automatically in my contact list. On my 520, I know there was I way that I hid these contacts/ didn't display them in my contact book. I can't find the option on my 630. I wish to remove both my facebook contacts AND my microsoft live contacts from appearing in my phone contact book. How can I do this?

Hi, texmeg. We'd appreciate it if you can give more details about your concern. Are you having issues with your account? What account are you referring to? Any error message? Please specify. When do you usually encounter this issue?
BTW, it would help the community to know your phone's model to provide you with appropriate steps/resolution. We'll wait for your reply.

How can i keep my both iphone not to merging contacts in each other

how can i keep my both iphones not to merging contact and othe apps in each other

This Apple doc might be helpful -> How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer
You can right click the iPhones in iTunes and choose to Reset the iTunes sync alerts, then choose to not merge contacts on the next sync or just sync the contacts to seperate iCloud accounts.

Issues tagging faces in iphoto and Facebook

Hi
I have iPhoto 11 (v9.4.3 720.91) and have been using faces on it for the last 4 months or so.
I linked my facebook account with my iPhoto and have been sharing albums on facebook happily, assuming the faces I tagged were tagging on facebook too.
However, when I shared an album yesterday I realised the tags on facebook are just names, not links to the facebook pages.
I have spent ages reading posts and other questions like this but have had no luck... When I type a name, I see loads of names with the facebook symbol and those presumably tag correctly in facebook, however both mine and my partner's don't have that icon and aren't tagging correctly.
The full name of both of our 'faces' is correct, as were our email addresses. I tried changing the email addresses to the @facebook.com ones but that made no difference.
I have tried sharing a photo that iPhoto recognises as having two faces but kept them as 'unamed' and then tagged them in facebook instead. When I update my facebook album containing that photo in iPhoto, the photo has both of our names tagged, but in the info bar on the right, neither name appears in the 'faces' section; and both my partner and my 'faces' show one unconfirmed face on that particular photo. I am unable to confirm the faces though, it just keeps saying they are unconfirmed once I have confirmed them.
It is really annoying me, as I don't want to have to upload photos to facebook before tagging faces and tagging them on facebook and then on iPhoto AS WELL!
Anyone have any idea or any help here?
Thanks,
Jen

Ok, thanks.
I think the issues I have are only with people whose faces I tagged in iPhoto before I linked to facebook...
Ill try contacting facebook and see if they can help. Will post any solution I get here for others.

Syncing contacts with Facebook and contact visualization in dialer

Hi,
I have spent a lot of time trying to sync and consolidate my contacts from Google and Facebook. I did have a couple of issues however and I am looking for advise.
1) Contact photo from Facebook are very low res and blurry.
- Xperia with Facebook account has the both contact & calrendar sync checked, and sync has completed, but no photos are synched.
- Facebook account has retreived the photo from Facebook, but it is extremely low-res and very blurry.
2) Is there a way - after linking a google contact to a Facebook one to quickly copy or merge (selected) Facebook contact details (like photo, birthday, phone number, email or address) into the Google contact.
3) Once I select a phone number as primary is there a way to see in the dialer (using T9 search) only the default phone number. Currenlty I may see a mobile phone from Facebook, another mobile phone from Google, and maybe a couple of other phones, and everytime I search for this contact directly in the dialer I need to remember and choose which number to dial.
So far the only resolution seems to be to switch back to exDialer, which would be a shame since this is my only complaint from the Xperia dialer.
4) Is there a way to backup the link between the google and facebook contacts? Is there a way to backup which phone number, email or address is default? Both of these are not preserved in google contacts, so everytime I reset or change phones I need to start all over.
I am looking for your advice and best practices and thank you in advance!!

OK, so after spending some time for research here are my findings:
1) Synching contact pics from Facebook to Android contacts: Facebook and Xperia with Facebook accounts do not work. As a workaround I have used Contacts+ application from the Google Play store, it works as expected.
2) Merging Facebook contact info (pic, phone number, email, birthday) to google contacts - have not found a way to automate or, best, semi-automate this just yet. Easiest manual option - view a contact, long press the phone/email/birthday, then edit the contact and paste. Will not work for the contact pic though.
3) Show a single record for the contact in the dialer and remember the default phone - Xperia dialer cannot do this, Contacts+ and exDialer can be used as a replacement though.
4) Backup the Google to Facebook link & the default selection for phone number, email, address in case of a hard reset or transfer between phones - no complete solution found yet, need to review more contact backup apps. At least one can edit the names of the google contacts so that they are spelled as in Facebook to make a future matches quick & more fluent.

Ios 6 on 4s and now have duplicate and merged contacts

updated to ios 6 on 4s and now have duplicate and merged contacts how do I resolve?

I have a number of clients who have this issue since the iOS6 update (as do I on my personal iPhone). These are the steps I took. The combination is that they were using iCloud / iPhone with their contacts.
Log into www.icloud.com and see if you have any duplicatesI had no duplicates here
Check Outlook (if you use this) to see if you have any duplicatesI had no duplicates here
On your iPhone check to see if you have duplicatesI had duplicates here
On my iPhone, I went to Settings, iCloud, and TURNED OFF the CONTACTS switch. Then it asked me if I want to keep my contacts on the phone... In my case, I did not as I know all of my contacts are stored in iCloud as I've confirmed that in STEP 1 & 2.
In your iPhone, check your Contacts, it should be empty.
Go back to Settings, iCloud, and TURN ON the CONTACTS switch. This will redownload all of your contacts from iCloud without the duplicates.
I hope this helps as this was kind of annoying as there was no reason for my contacts to be duplicated as I did not choose to integrate using the Facebook option.

IPhoto - Facebook Faces Problem

I'm having issues with Facebook and iPhoto Faces integration. Here is what is happening: I go through my pictures in iPhoto and tag Faces. Then I upload the pictures through iPhoto to Facebook. But if I've tagged a Face of an individual in iPhoto who does not have a Facebook account, the next time I go back into that event/album in iPhoto, it has automatically retagged that person as "Is this firstname lastname?" where the firstname lastname is the first person (alphabetically) in my iPhoto Faces list. I then have to go back into iPhoto and re-tag those Faces in each event/album I've uploaded to Facebook (again this only affects Faces of individuals who doe not have FB accounts). But, to finalize and correct the problem, I have to go back through each event/album a THIRD time, because now everyone who does not have a FB account who I've re-tagged after uploading to FB, will be tagged as "Is this firstname lastname?" After I've answered yes to each of those suggested Faces it seems to fix the priblem permanently.
Is this an iPhoto bug or a Facebook issue? Does anyone have any suggestion on how to fix this or should I just send feedback to Apple?
Thanks for your help.

I've not seen this reported here so I suspect it is a specific issue with your system - Try renewing your iPhoto preference file -
A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.
