Picture with contacts

Hello,
I have a photo associated with some of my contacts. For some of them, I see that phot when the person calls me or I call that person. For others, in fact, the majority, instead of the photo showing when the contact calls, I instead get my selected wallpaper image.
Any thoughts on this and how I can insure that my contact's photo displays? Thanks in advance.

If the photo was taken with the iphone then assigned to the contact, the contact image shows as background when that person calls the iphone.
If the photo was assigned to the contact on the computer then synced to the iphone, the picture is smaller and only shows as a thumbnail in the upper right corner of the screen when that person calls the iphone. So, you mainly see the image you assigned as a wallpaper.
Hope this helps.

How do you add people's pictures with contact info?

How do I add photos of my friends with their contact info?

See this...

I would imagine that they just have to be in the program you are syncing from. If you are on Windows XP, the pics would have to be in Microsoft Outlook.
You would add it here in outlook...
If you are adding contacts manually (by dragging the vCard files to the iPod) then you cannot have pictures displayed.

I have an iPhone 4 that i was trying to fix and now it will not turn on at all is there anyway that i can access all my pictures and contacts from my new phone or pc? It is also on the same apple id, but i dont know if that would help with anything.

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

My iPhone 5 synced with another computer and everything on my phone is removed, replacing it with other pictures and messages. how do i get my pictures and contacts back?

Then anything you had on the phone is gone.

Set it up as a new device again.

Replace friends profile pictures with those in my contacts

Hi, anybody here know how to replace friend's bbm profile pictures with those in contact phone book like those before BB10?
On my 9700 & 9780, I can link a BBM contact with my phonebook contact, and I'd an option to use phonebook contact picture foe the BBM contact.
Anyone got it working or it's just another function discarded by BB10?

Do you see profile pictures for any of your contacts at all? Or is it that you only see it for selected ones?
All those that don't show a profile picture to you (but you've confirmed with them that they have one) can you check that right-clicking on their contact the menu doesn't show a "Resend contact request" option?

Issues with Contact Pictures: Outlook 2010 and BlackBerry Desktop Software 6.1.0.36

Hi guys,
I have been trying to syncronize my contacts for many days now, with the following problems with the contact pictures:
1) Some contacts simply do not syncronize the pictures: Randomly, some contacts where I add a Picture in Outlook 2010 do not show the pictures in my Blackberry. Even worst: If make a change in any other field, the change in that field is detected, but the former value and value of the picture simply appear blank, even when the contact has a picture in outlook.
2) If I add a picture in Outlook it is first syncronized to the BlackBerry. If I re-run the sync, all the pictures are re-syncronized back again from the BlackBerry to Outlook, but with a lower resolution, reducing the quality of all my contact's pictures. I also syncronize my Outlook to a couple of smartphones from other companies that do display high resolution pictures, diminishing the quality of the pictures displayed in the other devices.
This has been very frustrating, please help.
Thanks,
Marco

Unfortunately, no one from the BlackBerry team has replied (read?) my post. I simply changed the sync options to be unidirectional so that the BB won't replace the pictures with lower quality ones, Of course, I do not use my BB anymore to create new contacts, I do it in my other phones. For those contacts not showing a picture, I deleted the contacts and created them again. I really hope that someone at Blackberry realizes that High Quality contact pictures are appreciated within the BlackBerry users community and that they do something about it.

Lost pictures and contacts with last update of iPhone 6 to 8.1.2

Lost pictures and contacts with last update of iPhone 6

MMy iPhone was synced with my computer and the cloud. After re syncing, pics and contacts remain in cloud and computer but won't sync to my iPhone. Even my IT guy at work is stumped! I would love to have all my pics and contacts back on my phone. I have not yet updated my iPad d air because I'm afraid the same thing will happen.

I went to the apple store because i had a bug on the operating system on my iphone 5, they updated the operating system but they told me not to restore my phone, can I restore my pictures and contacts or will it bring the bug back again?

i was having problems with my phone so i went into the apple store and it turns out there was a problem with my operating systerm so i got an update in the store. I want to get my contacts and my pictures back from my old iphone but when I was in the apple shop the man told me to start the phone as a new phone instead of restoring it from an earlier back up as i could get the bug back once restored, is there any way for me to get my pictures and contacts back without restoring it and getting the bug? Thanks

You should restore from the back up so you can get the info back on your device. Then, what you can do is import those pictures to your computer.
At that point, you'll want to restore again as new possibly, then once your phone is as new, use iTunes to sync those picture from your computer back to your phone.
As far as contacts, do you know if those were ever backed up to iCloud? If so, all you should need to do is sign in with you iCloud account.

How do I patch print pictures with the filename?

I have 1000 student proof pictures to print on envelopes. one per envelope. I'm trying to figure out how to print the picture with the file name included. I need the file name printed under the picture so that when the students turn in their order
I can find their pictures. I've been doing a contact sheet of one coloumn and one row. this gets the name included with the picture, however, the system crashes if I try to do all 1000 at once. So I have to break it down into separate folders. I've found that if i try to this with more than
76 pictures photoshop freezes and I have to restart. There's got to be an easier way to do this. Please, help.

If you have InDesign, you could set up a data merge to do this.
Your data file would have one text column with the image name, and one image column (header beginning with '@)
Set up the first page and run the merge.

I'm taking pictures with iPad and tying to share on face book and its saying error in need 4mg or jpf files what do I need to change

I'm taking pictures with my iPad and trying to upload on Facebook and its a error saying i need a smaller then 4mp or j? Something file. I just uploaded pictures last week what happened and ow do I I'd this any clues? Thanks

Lightning is a problem for you because it hooks into Thunderbird at a low level and you need a version compiled for the platform Thunderbird is running on. So you can't do the preferred solution, which is to put your whole profile in a shared folder and have both instances of Thunderbird reference the same profile. (Ditto for Enigmail). Lightning may become an integral part of Thunderbird in an upcoming release, at which point this limitation due to Lightning should disappear.
And if you can't use a shared profile, you can't set your Lightning, or your Address Book, to share a common set of files. Put another way, the linkage from Thunderbird to its address book files and calendar data is hard-coded, and not exposed where we can adjust it. :-(
The halfway house is to place your mail stores in a shared place, and use the Local Directory setting in each account's settings to connect to it. They don't need to be in the profile; what's more important in your case is that they are in a folder accessible to both operating systems.
Look in your profile; everything under Mail and ImapMail needs to be moved out to a shared folder. Note the entries in Thunderbird under Local Directory before you do this, and reconstruct those pathnames in Thunderbird, but adjusted to suit their new locations.
(You can see here that you need to make many adjustments, one per account, in each instance of Thunderbird, so it's a high-maintenance solution and this is why we don't recommend it when the alternative, moving the whole profile, is possible.)
I share address books and calendars between Thunderbirds on various computers (and my phone and tablet) by syncing to something in the cloud; Google Contacts and Google Calendar are my choices, using gContactSync and CalDav.
Having made the break myself some years ago, I'd recommend you break away from Windows. ;-)

What in the name of Goodness have you done re: the full screen picture of Contacts on my iPhone? Sort it out Apple or I'm going back to Samsung, where maybe I should have stayed!

What in the name of Goodness have you done with the full screen picture of Contacts? How dare you just change it without so much as a bye or leave? This is NOT progress but a throwback to about 1997! I supposedly 'updated' to an iPhone two weeks ago. Should have stayed with Samsung I reckon. I am deeply unimpressed!

Printing iPhoto Pictures with Titles

iPhoto provides for titles with pictures and a description with the picture as well. Is there a way to print pictures with their itle and description?

Within iPhoto the only way is using the contact sheet option as Daiya pointed out. If you want to put the info on the photo itself you'll need a 3rd party editor link Photoshop Elements, Seashore orAcorn. If you go to VersionTracker.com and search for "image editor" you'll get a number of candidates.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

I updated to th 5.0 software and all my pictures and contacts were deleted. Is there any way to get them back?, I updated to th 5.0 software and all my pictures and contacts were deleted. Is there any way to get them back?

After I saw that everything was deleted, I hit the back up and only my contacts and photos from May 2010 came back. I then hit 'restore' and all my contacts deleted once again. I just want my pictures and contacts back from before I updated this software!!

if you wanna get back your pictures and notes restore your friend iphone on your pc but make sure that your friend had the same name of your iphone and the same verison of the old sofware before you update , after that all your contact and note and everything are on your friend iphone , you can copy them in a way or another , I did this with my sister iphone , no matter what is the two iphone's generation the sofware verison is the trick xxx
and for the contacts you can locate the contact folder at your pc , and copy them into your device one way or another xxx

Iphone5 cannot send Pictures with Texts?

Have had my iphone5 for 3 months, have tried to send Pictures with my Texts, but failed. No problem sending pictures with e.mails or Facebook?

If MMS is turned on in settings, & you can send/receive SMS's, 99.9% of the time, the problem rests with your carrier, not your phone. Contact your carrier & insure that MMS is properly provisioned on your account. If they tell you everything looks OK, have them re-provision MMS on your account.

If I make a new apple id or I cloud account will I lose my pictures and contacts etc..

If I make a new apple id or I cloud account will I lose my pictures and contacts etc..

If this is becuase you cannot access your old account I would try everything first before making a new account.
expresslane.apple.com or http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/account/ or 1-800-APL-CARE.
If you delete the icloud account from your device it will remove the photostream and documents stored in the cloud from the device (if you're using iwork or another app that uses icloud to sync documents).
Photos from the camera roll will still be there.
It will ask if you want to keep the contacts, calendars, reminders, and bookmarks.
If you want to save your contacts choose "Keep on my iphone"
If you create a new apple ID you won't lose anything except your previous purchases, meaning if you wanted to redownload that app you paid for before, you will have to pay for it again with the new ID.
