Photos: If photo assigned to contact why does it now show in tet messaging?

Hi
I'm new to this forum, smart phones and the Pre. There are lots of things I liIke about the Pre and because I haven't used any other smart phone there are a lots of 'quirks' that I don't notice and some that I do - that bug me e.g. no date time stamp on older texts, not able to store draft texts, not being able to delete individual facebook profiles however the point of this post is:
I removed facebook as a contact account as I didn't want to have a list of people that I will never 'contact' but by doing so I lost the photos that were assigned to the people that now remain in my pre's contact list.
I have gone and assigned new photos to my contacts however I have noticed that when I'm in messaging the photo beside the contact is blank. I would have expected the photo that I assigned to the contact to appear here?
Can someone tell me why it doesn't and what I need to do so that it does?
Many thanks.

What is going on is it depends on what you have set as the primary profile in the contacts. If you have more than one contact the device will use synergy to place them together.
To fix it pick a contact in your Contacts then in the top left tap on the photo. Then tap on the profile you want as primary and you will get a pop up asking you to set as primary. This should change in the messaging app. If it does not to a restart on the device.
Post back if you have more questions.

  • I recently created a new iPhoto library, why does it now show 2 iPhoto libraries the same and 1 being my new one when I hold option and open iPhoto at the same time?

    I recently created a new iphoto library. It seems now that when I hold down the option key and open iphoto  I now have 2 iphoto libraries (both the same library) as well as my new library which is now my default as I intended but why would I now have 2 listed the same in this box? When I go to finder>pictures there is only the 2!! I hope I am making sense!

    Try the following to see if you can get rid of the ghost:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • Why does iCal now show just 2 lines of info?

    Since updating to Yosemite, my iCal sometimes shows only 2 lines of info even though there's space in the box for more lines. Here's examples:
    There's room for the rest of the phone number and more, but instead it gave me dot, dot, dot and nothing below. Sometimes expanding the time slot and then retracting it again resets it like this example:
    This time-slot box is even smaller than the one above, yet it currently shows 4 lines of type under the (unnecessary) time stamp. When I first typed it in, originally it just showed 2 lines, but then I grabbed the bottom arrow, pulled down till it was a much longer time slot, then slid back up till it was just 1 hour slot, and all 4 lines appeared. Tried the same thing with the top example, but the next line never appeared. Very wanky. Forces me to double click the event to see the full description in the editing pane, but there's no reason why 3 or 4 lines shouldn't show up in the main iCal display...there's plenty of room. What the?

    Go to Gmail (on the web) look in the folder named All Mail, they will be there, delete what you want.

  • HT5767 if i delete something in mail app, why does it now show deleted in iPhone?

    how can i get my mail that i delete on my mail app to show deleted in my iPhone effective immediately... it works perfectly fine with my hotmail account with my iPhone but not with the mail app..

    Go to iOS Settings...
    . . Mail, Contacts, Calendars...
    . . . . Fetch New Data...
    Mine is set to hourly, because I don't want too much battery drain,
    and I have PUSH set to OFF, and specific mail accounts set to FETCH, or Manual, except for one set to PUSH.
    It seems that your issue relates to how often the sync happens between your mail host and your iPhone.
    If you want to try different settings, it may sync more frequently, and help to mimize your problem.
    Each mail account has its own settings.

  • Put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

    put movies in itunes on one computer why does it not show up when i access itunes from other computers or ipad2?

    i just purchased a file that had videos in it. i put them in the itunes library on my pc where i first downloaded them. i was able to transfer them to my other pc, a laptop, through my home network. i am now trying to get them on my mac pro desktop and my ipad2. my mac pro can see the other computers on my home network but i cannot get it to connect to them. i know the operating systems are different but was hoping i could transfer pictures and files from pc to mac this way. haven't been able to get it to work yet. the videos i am trying to get my mac to see came in a folder with both mac and pc versions. i thought if i got the videos i purchased into itunes that i would then be able to get them to my mac pro and my ipad2. i am new to mac/apple and have always been pc-centric so trying to marry it all has been difficult. i speak pc pretty well but am just learning apple. am i trying to do things that are not possible? i sure could use a knowledgable friendly soul to walk me through my issues of having pc and mac on the same network. i have been able to get all computers and ipad to print on my network. thanks.

  • Why does my iPad show no sim when turning on cellular data?

    Why does my iPad show no sim when turning on cellular data?

    Check the right and left sides of your iPad for a small hole the size of a paper clip (remove your smart cover if you have one).  If you see this, then you have the wifi + cellular model.  If you do, use a paper clip to remove the sim tray (or the sim removal tool that came with your iPad if you have it) as shown in the image below. 
    If the tray has a sim card in it, push the sim tray back in to re-seat it in the side of the iPad, then turn it on to see if the error message re-appears.  If it re-appears, take it to a Verizon store and have them give you a new sim card.
    If you have a sim tray but it is empty, you'll need to go to a Verizon store to get a sim card for it.

  • Why does my library show no content even though ATV2 can see my library?

    Why does my library show no content even though ATV2 can see my library?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
