New 2.3.6 lost text contact pics linked to fb

With the old version most of my phone contacts were linked through my facebook.  So all the contact pictures showed their fb profile pic.  Same with when i sent them a text message.  Now that i got the new 2.3.6 update, my phone contacts are still linked to fb, but my text message contact pics are not.  Anyone else having that problem???  Anyone know how to fix it???

THere is more to the story and part of it is how NASTY and EGO FILLED facebook is. No offense but they have gotten to brave for their own good.
Personally I don't like all the wasted facebook itnegration of cotnacts, mainly email, since thsoe of use with large, common people, in our lists, it's worthless for my phone.
Pictures, not bad. But I nly need close family and friends. Those I can get on my own easily.
Google has Google +. Which I like, and it still improts images from there. IT can synch any photo you take on the phone, and then you can choose to share it on posts. THat was nice whne I thought I losst Dental pics when I scaled dogs teeth, and forgot to email them to the clinic.  Luckily I was synchign in real tiem to Google+ and they were backed up in that days photos in my virtual album ready to send to the clinic.
Facebook feels threatned by Google +. WHen Google has supported Facebook apps early on. Facebook was rude enough to threaten users who mentioned Google+ on facebook. Till legal departments got a hodl of them advising them they shouldn't.

    My current situation: I have soooo many texts on my iphone and I haven't deleted many because I need the information contained in them for future reference and for legal purposes.  I would really like to find a means and way to save them other than on the phone itself. I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need.  It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and my MacBook Pro.
    Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

    On may 24 I back up iPhone to computer when it was done I lost text msg,contact ,pic,e-mails,&2000 song.please direct me to get my old settings.

    Was this the same computer that you backed up to in the past? Do you have an iCloud backup? Have you tried restoring the backup using iTunes?

  • All backup/sync files for Iphone lost on old PC, anyway to sync with new PC without losing music, photos, contacts and texts?

    All backup/sync files for Iphone lost on old PC, anyway to sync with new PC without losing music, photos, contacts and texts?

    Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your iphone, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
    This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
    Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your device got wiped during the first sync.
    The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
    Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
    Apps can be downloaded again for free, in the US music as well. Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • Upgrade to os4 - A way to get lost information - CONTACTS and TEXTS

    I have been spending hours, and hours, trying to figure out what happened to this phone. I upgraded to os4, and when I did, I lost everything (contacts, texts, pics, apps, etc.), eventhough I backed up everything on a weekly basis. Not sure where Apple dropped the ball on this major issue. I have been looking for hours to find a fix. I came across a post that was helpful in finding a way to solve some of my problems, including FINDING MY LOST CONTACTS! I have to manually enter them into my phone again, but at least I have them! Like, me I am sure many of you don't memorize phone numbers anymore. I have just added to a post I found by Somebody2 on another forum (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11831613), as a starter, and added to it, to give more specific directions. I am extremely thankful; to have found this! I am still looking to find a way to get back my lost pictures, but that may be a lost cause. Hopefully this can help some of you out there, like it did me(....sigh of relief). Anyway, here is a way to find those lost contacts and texts:
    Here are the main steps, assuming that you did backup your iPhone using iTunes recently:
    1. Use the following tutorial to install FireFox with SQLite Manager add-in and point it to your backup folder:
    http://www.skyontech.com/blog/iPhone-app-data-access
    (**when following these directions, make a copy of the backup folder, and paste it on your desktop to make the overall process a little easier)
    **2. Once you have opened SQLite, Click on the options (hammer/screwdriver icon) at the top. Change the "Default file extension for SQLite files" to mddata then click OK. Next, Click on the word "Directory" at the top, just under the menu bar. Then select choose "Select default directory". Choose the most recent folder inside the backup folder you copied to the desktop, then click OK.
    **3. Now the more time consuming part (took me at least 30 minutes). Beside the word "Directory" you can now choose files from a drop down menu. The easiest way I found to do this is to click on the 1st one, then click go. You can continue down the list using the arrow key, and click go each time you go to a new file... As you do this, you will see the left side change. Sometime it has nothing (No directory found), and other times there is a list of menus (master table, tables, views, indexes, triggers). I found mine in the 38...range out of the hundreds of files.
    **4. Continue to go through the files until you see "ABGroup" under the tables menu as an options (it does not show up under the "master table" menu, just under "tables").
    5. Once you have found "ABGroup", Click on the "Execute SQL" tab in the SQLite Manager and copy/paste the following:
    ====================
    SELECT First, Last, Organization, Note, value as Phone FROM ABPerson, ABMultiValue WHERE ABMultiValue.property=3 AND ROWID=record_id ORDER BY First
    ====================
    Then click "Run SQL" button.
    You should now see the list of all contacts backed up from your iPhone. You can also highlight all rows with the mouse and the SHIFT key, then right-click and select "Copy Rows as CSV for Excel", then paste them to Excel so that you can print your contacts spreadsheet.
    NOTE: You can do the same thing for finding text messages. The only difference, is that you want to look for the word "message" under the tables menu instead of abgroup.
    I have never posted here, but this was a HUGE help to me, so I thought I would try to share a more detailed way to get these back. I know it's not easy, but IT WORKS!! I am so relieved, and thanks a lot Somebody2!!!!
    If anyone knows how to recover lost pictures, even if it is a process like this, please, please, please post it.

    oops...ouch...hard way to learn to always back up your stuff
    you "never" backed anything up?? not even an old backup someplace? you really don't have to answer...i'm just feeling your pain. difficult.

    If you have a Mac, it's pretty easy. But you don't (should I make a pitch for you to get a MacBook Pro in the future)?
    This should help you out to sync it back to several non-Apple software:

  • I downloaded the ios6 to my iphone and my moms phone  Now they are syncronized and I lost my contacts. All my phone numbers have emails in them but no phone numbers. Now whenever I get or send a text it shows up on her phone. How do I reverse it?

    I downloaded the ios6 update for the iphone to my phone and my moms"s phone. Now they are syncronized and I lost my contact telephone numbers. Now when I get a text or send  text it shows up on my mom's phone. I asked for help from the people at the ATT store and had no idea how to help me. That is crazy that they don't even know anything about their own products! This is EXTREMELY frustrating. Did you create a software that cannot be reversed or corrected? How to I restore my phone to the way it was? I am being told it can't be done. I have been an ATT customer for 8 years but I would love to go to Verizon right now. Pleae let me know how to reverse this and get the phones unsynced.

    If you share an Apple ID, both of your phone numbers should be linked to that ID. You should be able to use your phone number as well. My wife, my daughter and I all share an Apple ID for purchases, and we each text from our iOS devices using our own iPhone numbers.
    When iOS 6 came out, you were able to link the phone number with your Apple ID to use for Messages and FaceTime. You will need to sign out of messages on all devices and then start the process all over again.
    Take a look at this.

  • On my new 4S, how do I get my contact pic to display on the full screen when that contact calls?  Now it displays as a thumbnail on the banner

    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.

    I caught my phone 4. Had to buy a new one, lost all contacts, and calendar photos. how can I recover them?

    What does "I caught my phone 4" mean?
    All contacts, calendars, photos etc should be on your computer as the iphone is designed to be synced to your computer.
    Just sync them to your new iphone.

    Hello 6underwood,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Troubleshooting car stereo connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581
    If you are experiencing difficulties with the connection between your stereo and device, disconnect the device, and then power cycle the stereo and your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. When the Home screen reappears, reconnect your device. If you cannot power cycle the stereo, turn the car off and then back on to allow the stereo to power off.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

    Then make sure you sync everything to your computer so you do not lose it.

  • Our exchange server crashed and we lost all contact and calendar data.  We found an app to get the contacts off of people's phone to import but can't find the same for calendar.  How do I get my calendar info off my phone and in to new exchange server?

    You'd have to think through this, but it seems like if you are using Outlook, and the items vanished from the Outlook client as well as the server,that you could re-populate Outlook using iTunes.
