My Contact Photos are Messed Up

Hi.
My contacts photo are messed up. My brother's photo is placed in my wife's contact info, while my wife's is at my friend, etc. I am using iPad 2 and iOS 5.1.1 This happens often, so that I removed all photos. Can anyone help?

If you go to your user profile you'll find a list of your topics. Here's the other thread:
Where'd you find that? I went to profile and it only went back one month. Thanks again for your help.
Going to do an re-install tomorrow. Where are all the ID pref folders so I delete everything before the reinstall. 2nd install in less than a month. Very odd. Once with the old HD and now with a new HD.

My Photos are messed up after iPhone/iOS upgrade!

I moved from an iPhone4/iOS6 to iPhone5c/iOS8. I backed-up iPhone4 using iTunes before transition, restored to iPhone5c, and selected photo backup on iCloud. Now my photos are duplicated, unorganized, and consume 3GB filling my iPhone5c! I cannot view the photos in iTunes nor iCloud, therefore cannot find a reliable way to delete the duplicates and clear the mess on the iPhone5. What a mess!!
How can I get this resolved???

I think its an iOS5 problem, cause exact same issue with my iphone after installing iOS5.

Contact photos are not showing up in Mail message list, even though the message will link to the contact card in Address Book with the photo in it.

I'm using Mail 5.3 and Address Book 6.1.3 on X 10.7.5. I want my contact photos to show up in the message list on Mail, but only some of them do, even though the message will link to the contact card in Address Book with the photo in it. I've even tried replacing a photo that doesn't show up with a photo that does show up for a different contact but no luck. I am syncing to one other Mac, an iPhone and an iPad via iCloud.

Vcard contact photos are not imported in Snow iMac address book

I use the Address Book export feature to get all the contacts of my Lion MacBook Pro in a vcard file. This file contains the base64 coded photos of my contacts. When I import the vcard file in a Snow iMac, the photos do not show. Any suggestion?
Thanks

Hi -
This question has also been posed by others (if I am understanding you correctly). I have tried this myself and it seems the only workaround we can come up with. Go to this post where it explains the way this poster found how to make it bigger -

Contact photos are very small

I like tagging my contacts with their photos so that i can see who is calling but on the Nokia N97 mini, i find that the photo size displayed is very small - less than 10 mm by 10 mm. Would like to see the photo on the full screen. Is this a software issue or something I haven't set properly ?
Any help available ?

Why do my contact photos keep getting assigned to the wrong person/number?

This has happened to me twice recently: my phone rings and the wrong contact photo appears with the wrong phone number. All my contact photos are assigned to the wrong person/phone number. Any ideas on what's going on? Thanks!

Thanks for your reply.
Can I get this straight in my mind? Does this mean that I will have to put ALL the photos stored on my Laptop into ONE large folder, then divide it up into sub-folders? Then I can copy each sub-folder?
Sorry to sound stupid, but most things I try on my ipod don't seem to work for me. I think I am getting a bit old for all this.....lol.
.......Actually thinking back, a while back I did click on my main folder called "Nikon" and that did copy everything in it, but just in one whole lot, ie 1,000 photos.........................so nothing was sub-divided into folders, ie. holiday 2010, holiday 2011. Is that another problem I have created for myself?
Thanks for your patience.

Contact Photos in iPad and iPhone but not on Outlook 2011

Hi,
If I create a contact on my my iPhone or iPad the contact photos are seen in either device but cannot be seen in Outlook 2011 or in the Contacts app (v9) of my mac.
The opposite is also true: if I create the contact in my computer (Outlook 2011 or Contacts v9), the photos show up only in Outlook or in Contacts v9 but not on my iPhone or iPad. Contact info is OK in all 4 places.
The contacts are stored in an Exchange server (don't want to use iCloud at this point).
I'm running IOS 8 on an iPhone 5 and iPad mini. Yosemite runs on a MacBook Air.
Any idea how can can I fix this?
Thanks.

You could also try to remove folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub-shared/ to the Desktop.
This folder is the local copy of the photos in the shared Photo Streams on the Mac from the user library.
The user library is hidden by default. To open the hidden User Library:
Use the Finder's "Go" menu.
Click "Go", then hold down the options key, until you are seeing "Library" in the drop down menu appear and click it.
In the Finder window that will open navigate to the folder ~/Library/Application Support/iLifeAssetManagement/assets/sub-shared/.
Remove the folder and restart the Mac. It will take some time, until the folder will populate again. Don't delete the copy you removed, just in case.

Nokia 6300, iSync, and Contact Photos-

Thanks to the following links, I was able to get my new Nokia 6300 to successfully sync with my Mac’s Address Book via iSync:
http://klauskjeldsen.dk/2007/06/08/free-nokia-6300-isync-plugin/
http://nokia6300.net/8/new-version-of-the-nokia-6300-isync-plugin

http://kaspers.freeflux.net/blog/archive/2007/04/13/how-to-isync-a-nokia-6300.html
Unfortunately, two things didn’t sync up: Birthdays and Contact Photos. After politely asking people if there was any way to get these to work (especially photos, as it’s nice to see someone’s picture pop up on the phone for faster recognition before you unceremoniously reject them) I tried to tackle this one on my own. I was able to dig around in the plist files of the Nokia N93 and glean the few lines that make both of these details available to the Nokia 6300 plugin.
Before we begin however, I’ve noticed some problems that can occur with Photo syncing. PLEASE READ THIS THOROUGHLY before continuing: it’ll save some head-banging and frustration later.
Failing to follow the following guidelines will result in a completely failed sync. Should this happen, I simply deleted all of my contacts on the phone (phone memory, not SIM card), tried to determine the problem, and tried again.
Also, note that if you do end up deleting all of the contacts on your phone, you’ll also lose your 1-touch dialing and the entries in your caller groups (but not the groups themselves).
Here we go:
Do not use .GIF files — JPG only! (I didn’t test PNG)
You cannot drag-and-drop from a web-page directly onto a contact. Although this works for Address Book in that you’ll see the ‘image edit’ window pop-open, and you can save your contact, when it comes to iSync your entire sync will fail. If you want to use someone’s image (from Facebook, for example) simply drag the photo you want from the web-page onto your desktop, and then drag the photo from your desktop onto the Address Book entry’s ‘contact photo’ area. You’re then free to delete the image from your desktop.
You cannot sync with a ’smart group’ that you created within Address Book. This has more to do with iSync than the new plugin, but it’s a pain nonetheless. Physical groups only!
When a sync fails, you are not told what failed, or why it failed. iSync detailed logs are useless too, stating only:
5:28:24 PM Error [Nokia 6300] An unexpected error occured.
5:28:24 PM Error Device "Nokia 6300" synchronization failed
Fun! What I did was create a ‘temp’ group, set iSync to sync with that folder only for contacts, and then slowly add contacts into that temp group until a failure occurred so that I knew what the offending entry was.
The plugin that I’ve created is essentially just the one from the site listed above, but with some additional properties put into the PhoneContuit.plist and SyncEngine.plist files.
As with everyone else, I take no responsibility if this completely fcks up your phone or Address Book, but please do backup both your Address Book (File -> Back Up Address Book…) and your phone’s contacts (I typically just copy everything to SIM). I can say that this has worked fine for me for a day now, with a fair bit of testing. After I cleaned up my offending image-entries, it’s been great.
To install: Quit iSync, download the following zip file, and drag-and-drop the plugin into your system using the shortcut, and sync away.

Iphone photos are missing

I noticed incoming calls do not have contact photos showing. Now all the contact photos are missing. This is very frustrating -- and I'm not sure how to recover. Please help!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photos from back up will be added back once the restore process has completed, give it some time.
Meantime, don't be deleting your old back up.

Contact photo on the iPod

I was able to sync over my contacts from AddressBook but the contact photo are not showing up on the iPod???

I've tried various things and nothing has really worked. By importing them one at a time from address book instead of using iTunes, I was able to get the pic for my contact to show up, but none of the others did. I tried trashing the file iTunes put in the contacts folder and resyncing... nothing. Tried selecting all contacts from Address Book and dragging into the contacts folder ... nothing. So I know it is supposed to work, but it seems as if it just doesn't want to.
Any ideas?

ICloud not syncing my contact photo on any of my mac's!

So far I have really liked icloud but here lately on my iMac and Macbook Pro me personal contact card will not sync my photo from my iOS devices. If I change the photo from one of my Mac's it wont sync to my other devices. Everything else syncs just fine, addresses, emails, and other contact photos are syncing great.
I know it might not sound like a big deal but i hate seeing the default icon that shows up when I log onto my Mac. THanky you for anyhelp that you may be able to provide.

what I mean is - create a complete new contact on your contacts and select a picture for it from your Mac. Then set it as "make this my card"
Once you have done that - presumably it will sync with iCloud - have a look and the contact should appear on your iPhone too.
On your iPhone go on Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendar> Under "Contacts: in "My Info" select That new contact you created on your Mac.
Let me know if that works.
-On another note, so what you are saying is, if I take my 15' Macbook Pro in and they have none of the old ones in stock, they just give you a Retina display one! Did you take it to them for the contact issue you were having or something else?

Contact photo Outlook Exchange 2010 Issue

I use iPhone 4S with OS 5.0.1. I use Exchange to sync my mail, calendar and contacts with my Exchange 2010. However, when I sync my iPhone contact photos with Facebook on my iPhone, contact photos are not visible on Outlook but instead appear as empty squares. Any ideas? Thnks!

Same here - I've been Google’ing a lot, and it seems there may be a problem with the photo resolution from FB against Outlooks (which looks like demands 72 dpi?!?)
Actually, if you open a contact on the iPhone, then "edit" and edit the photo (without making any changes) and then save, the photo will appear in Outlook in a couple of seconds. However, if you re-sync with FB, the photo will disappear again
This has worked before, so I really hope they can sort it out....
iOS5 and Outlook20007 btw...

My contacts are messed up since the 5.0.1 update on iPhone 4s

My contacts are messed up now after the update and i am not able to text properly. They will no go out or respond. My numbers show 2055555555 instead of (205) 555-5555 and names will not come up when someone calls.

I too recently upgraded my iPhone software. Now a variety of things are messed up. I lost my ringtone. When taking photos I am unable to zoom in. They installed "Twitter", which I don't want and cannot remove. As well as "iCloud". I had to go in & change my settings which they changed. I may not ever do an upgrade again.

I plugged my iphone into my desktop mac to put my itunes music on and now all my contacts and photos are gone can i get them back?

I have a 3GS iPhone, version 3.1.2. I have never plugged my phone into a computer or synced with iTunes. If I do so now, I will I lose everything? What steps need to be taken to ensure that all of my data, contacts, photos, etc. are not lost?
