Privacy concerns with Update Profile Photos

Hi,
I updated to Mac OS X 10.8.2 and enabled the system-wide Facebook account in the System Preferences.
The preference pane offers the option of updating contact photos in the address book with those found on Facebook, using phone numbers and mail addresses as search keys.
I tried this option and was very surprised of the result, in particular:
many pictures were fetched of people who are in my address book, but are not my friends on Facebook
those people had elected not to make their email address or phone number visible to non-friends
as in my country (Italy) mobile operators "recycle" after some time mobile phone numbers which have have been dropped by customers, and I had old records in my address book with some of these "recycled" numbers, pictures were added of "strangers" who do not have anything to do with the person in my address book.
It seems to me that this integration between Facebook and the contact list is too "aggressive" to say the least, and it is possibly breaking Facebook's privacy settings.
I believe that only pictures of actual Facebook friends should be fetched, and only of those friends whose phone number or mail address is visible in accordance with their privacy settings (e.g. I have my mobile phone number on Facebook, but it is visible just to "close friends").
I did not find a way of reporting this behavior to Apple, so I hope Apple staff is monitoring this discussion board. I would be glad to have suggestions from readers of this board for a better way of bringing this information to the attention of Apple.

Facebook app slow to update profile photo

hello guys!
maybe im just being paranoid, but i updated my profile photo via safari and i noticed that when i open facebook on my phone it does not change the profile photo when its updating until i move away from the profile page and then go back to it..
and occasionally it jumps back to the old profile photo again..
anyone having the same issue?
thanks in advance!

No. Facebook app works great for me.
But in case you are unaware, most things do cache in it and to reload something (eg: while looking at your news feed) you just shake the phone. You will see the loading/progress indicator up top reloading the screen when you do.

Privacy Concern with Apps

When is Apple going to allow the iPhone and iPad users to delete YouTube and Map applications from our devices. Apples privacy policy indicates that with third party apps, the privacy policy is set by the third-party provider and not apple. For Youtube and Maps that third party is Google. I don't like Googles new privacy policy and don't wish to use their apps. However on the Iphone Apple loads these apps, is not responsible for what happens with my information, and won't let me delete the apps - I should be able to delete these applications with the same ease that I can delete any other. When will this change?

You're not addressing Apple here. Submit your feedback directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:

Now I have privacy concerns with ATV2

After last night's epic failure of the ATV system, what we have learned is that every single video you play on an ATV2 has to be authorized by apple servers.
I understand it if the video has Apple's fairplay DRM, but much of the video I have in itunes is my personal video or DVDs i ripped with handbrake.
Last night Apple's servers were down and anybody who owned an ATV2 could not play any videos.
So keep in mind they have to authorize every video you play, and if their servers are down like they were last night, you can't play ANYTHING...

Gosh
I hope that's not true.
Am I correct in thinking you're saying that this outage prevented you streaming unprotected content to AppleTV?
DRM is a pain in the neck that only affects paying customers who want to use their content in a versatile manner.
I previously took AppleTV2 on a trip along with iPad, MacMini and old AppleTV - bit of overkill.
Where we stayed had no internet connectivity that I could easily use for AppleTVs.
No problems playing DRM content from the AppleTV1's hard drive.
No problem using Mac Mini hooked up to TV via HDMI to play back DRM content.
I ran into the authorisation issues when trying to stream conetnet from itunes to the AppleTV 2 or using Airplay to send things to AppleTV 2.
If Apple now invokes internet authorisation just to play anything they are crippling the device if there's a server or interent issue which is wrong.
This goes hand in hand with the fragility of the iTunes DRM content ecosystem in that in the unlikely event iTunes store closed if bought out/Apple failed and servers were shut down then your content would be rendered useless. This is quite unlikely in the forseeable future but who knows in 10-20 years time ?

My facebook profile photo shows up on an email to a friend who has a yahoo email address, but is not my Facebook friend. All my FB privacy settings are at the max. Is this a Yahoo privacy issue? I don't want my photo to go to other than FB friends.

I recently sent an email to a friend, who is NOT a Facebook friend, who has a yahoo email account, and my Facebook profile picture appeared next to the email. My privacy settings on FB only allow FB friends to see my photo. Why is another yahoo account that is not a FB friend seeing my profile photo and is there a Yahoo privacy setting that will eliminate this from happening? Thank you.
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== this week

Did you check that your Facebook settings haven't changed?
Facebook may have changed them as part of a software update.
Is there a link in that email (signature) with a link to that picture?
Try to send an email to yourself.

I am not sure the URL will let you in as is a private link.

'''Try the Firefox SafeMode''' to see how it works there. <br />

''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''

* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />

''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''

I updated the photos that share with Apple TV but old photos display during music

I updated the photo file that shares with Apple TV, and they display correctly when I play the slide show, but when they play slideshow with music playing it's the old photo file. How do I get the new photos to display during music? Thanks

Not sure what you are trying to do, but the photo is just cached. You might try restarting ATV and see if that will foruce a cache relaod.
What is it you did? Did you update an image, cover art, photo stream? It could also be that what ever you updated it not what is being displayed. For instacne if you updated something in iPhoto, but are pointing to Photostream that will not have an effect. Same problme if you are looking at cover art while the music is playing.

Facebook images, profile photos, cover photos are not loading. Only small blue square with question mark. Same thing in Safari, FireFox, Chrome.

Since July on MacBook Pro facebook images, profile photos, cover photos are not loading. Only small blue square with question mark. Same thing in Safari, FireFox, Chrome. Everything is up to date including last version of Adobe Flash. And watching YouTube also a problem. Video is skipping, freezing for few seconds and jumps forward. At the same time on Toshiba with Windows Vista under the same account, same wi-fi connection everything works fine.
Please help with sugesstions to fix the issue.

Seems like problem is solved but it might be temporarily. Anyway. Click on the image, it will open facebook photo browser. Image is not loading so right click on the blue box with question mark, save image as. It will start downloading but without any success since browser do not see the image. After this attempt refresh the page and close all tabs with facebook. Try to open facebook once again. For some reason after this weird actions all images displayed properly. Do not know for how long but now it works.

Issue with recent iPhoto/Photo app syncing-updating and deleting issues.

I had sync my mom's iPad to her iPhoto library only to find that I cannot delete photos from her iPad without first sync-ing up to her Mac and deleting photos from iPhoto, first, then re-sync her iPad to delete the photos from her iPad. Her Mac is running 10.5.8 with iPhoto 9 (8.1.2)
Why can't I delete her photos directly from my iPad?
I can delete images/photos if I just send them over email and save them to her iPad photo app without using iPhoto, but it's a long inconvenient process.
Second, I made a slew of edits to her photos after initially sync-ing them to her iPad. The iPhoto makes the updates, but when I re-sync her iPad, the iPad is not transfering or updating its photo app database to reflect the changes I made to her images in iPhoto.
What Gives?
I am going to have her download an image editing app for her iPad eventually, but for right now we are using iPhoto.
Why isn't the iPad accepting the updated data from the edits I make in iPhoto?

I'm trying to find out the same thing and have been for quite some time. Just updated to Maverick and now I can't even get in to iPhoto! Aggrivated!!

Help with C6-00 photo update

I need help with updating the items in the photo gallery. Anytime I transfer pictures from PC to the phone using either a USB connection or bluetooth, the items just stay in the memory card. What I mean is that they can only be acessed through file manager and not possible to veiw them using the Photo application. It is as if the Photo application does not automatically update itself. I have tried moving the items from one folder to another, even using the images folder itself. Please, can you tell me what to do about it?
Usually, the same thing happens with Videos too.
Thanks in advance.

The apps wont recognise the photos or videos if file extension is missing.Go to file manager and locate your file.Check whether it contains file extension.If not rename the file with . Jpg extension.If you dont know the type of file, select options >details(it should be something like that) to know it.After renaming all your files in file manager close file manager and open yout photo app.It should show all your photos.Same goes for videos which you will need to rename to .mp4 or .3gp as the case may be.

Incorrect. Photos added to the Camera Roll are automatically uploaded to Photo Stream. Photos deleted from the Camera Roll are not automatically deleted from Photo Stream.

How to make a álbum with all My photos that updates alone

hwhow I made a album with all my photos that update or what I don to see all my photos in a album

Hi Powerds,
I see you are on iOS 8. Does the "All Photos" album, with iCloud Photo Library enabled work for you?
Get help finding your Photos in iOS 8 or later
After you turn on iCloud Photo Library, all your photos and videos are organized in one library by the date they were added. The Camera Roll and My Photo Stream album are replaced with an All Photos album, which gives you the same compact view as before.
Best Regards,
Nubz
