Photos and Contacts

I've pretty much given up trying to add friends pictures to their contact info because as far as I can see, the only way to do this, is to have them in front of you, and take a picture of them with the iPhone itself. Considering I dont see 90% of the people in my contacts list, I have no way to add their photo.
Is there some way to add photos to contacts, aside from actually taking their picture in real-time?

You can add any photo that is on your iPhone, whether you took it with the iPhone camera or imported it from your PC. To import photos from your PC you simply import them into iTunes, then sync them with the iPhone.
You can also attach photos to contacts in Outlook and they will sync to your iPhone.

OK, I understand. Try this ... it's much safer. It will simply restore your backup, but not do anything to your iOS:
While your iPhone is plugged in to iTunes, right click on the iPhone icon on the left side of the iTunes display.
Choose "Restore from backup ..." from the pop-up menu that appears.
Again, what this will do is place that backup back on your iPhone without changing iOS. So you should be very confident in the backup contents before doing this.

Photos and contacts will not sync from iCloud to iPhone

Hi Everyone
I have an iPhone 4 with the latest iOS (5.1.1), and have had to restore my phone due to sluggish response from the device, however I have had problems when setting up my phone again.
When the phone was restored and I wanted to restore a backup, it said the latest backup was from 10/12/2011 (I'm assuming this was the last time I backed up to iTunes). The issue I have is all my photos and contacts are on iCloud (last updated 25/05/2012, it clearly says this on my device under iCloud section). I have looked about to try and find a way to get this information back onto my iPhone but have not had any luck.
Can someone please help me find out how to get my photos and contacts from iCloud back onto my iPhone, having no contacts is a real pain! If anyone can help it would be really appreiciated!
MESSAGE TO APPLE: Your support is a complete joke, why should I have to pay for your assistance on clear design flaws with iCloud and its ability to sync with iOS enabled devices. Also you should really consider allowing people to download their photos / contacts via iCloud.com

me again everyone, I've managed to find my contacts on my iPhone. When I look under the contacts app it just says "no contacts", but if I look at the contacts tab via Phone they all appear, weird bug.
Still problems with my photos though

HT4236 If i had all of the photos and contacts backed up in my itunes but no longer have me iphone I how can I recover them?

if i had all of my photos and contacts backed up on my apple account, but no longer have my iphone how do i recover them?

Your question topic says you have all your photos backed up in iTunes. If so they are on your computer. When you get your new phone you can sync those photos from your computer to your phone.

I need to move my photos and contacts from my old iPhone 3 to my new iPhone 4. When I open iTunes, it is not letting me sync my old phone so I can back up to my new phone. Any thoughts?

Buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store, install it, and run Software Update twice.

You don't import photos from the iPhone to your computer using iTunes.
See this -> iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
Note this only applies to photos taken with the iPhone. Any photos you previously added to your iPhone using iTunes should be copied from old computer to new computer.

Got 2 iPads. One used by my wife and the other by me. How to keep contents like photos and contacts separate? Don't want to mix infos between the 2 devices. Is it possible to make sure that they don't sync together?

I stripped the old iPad (the one I gave my wife), so now she only has the contacts and photos "suitable" for her. When Iwoke up this morning my iphone and my new iPad had only the photos and contacts that I left her on her old iPad!! That really *****! I've lost all of my contacts and quite a few photos. Is there a way to restore the old settings here?

If the photos were not backed up with a recent backup, there is NO way to retrieve them.

So here's my problem. I just used the "reset all settings" option, and accidentaly restored an old backup. It deleted all my photos and contacts, but for some reason I still have all the apps from after the backup date, is there a way to get it all back?

So here's my problem. I just used the "reset all settings" option, and accidentaly restored an old backup. It deleted all my photos and contacts, but for some reason I still have all the apps from after the backup date,and it also kept the notes from after the backup. The "reset all settings" option clearly says no loss of data or media, so I don't understand why some stuff got deleted. My question is, is there a way to get it back?

If you still can find a recent backup listed in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, use this one to restore from.
If there are no recent backups listed, your data is gone. Only if you included the iTunes backup folder into your computer backup routine, you could be able to restore this folder and find one of your latest backups listed again.

You should be importing all pics taken with your iphone to your computer regularly.
You should be syncing your contacts with your computer/cloud service regualrly.
Have you failed to do this?
