Set a Photo to a contact

I noticed that when I set a photo to a contact then when that contact calls there pic takes up the whole iphone screen, but on apple.com they have an example and the photo only takes up the top right with the wallpaper in the background. How can I set it to do that?

I was expecting just the opposite. I have been adding photos to my contacts in address book for years. Once I purchased and synced the iPhone with my PowerMac I wanted the photos to show up "full screen" on my iPhone.
Does anyone know of a way to make the synced address book photos appear "full screen" on my iPhone. Maybe this is not possible due to the pictures resolution.

  • How do I add photos to my contacts on galaxy s5

    You have two ways of adding pictures. From the camera/gallery or from your contacts.
    From contacts, find the one you want, open, tap the pen to edit. Tap the + sign and the pop up will ask where you want to add the photo from.
    From the gallery, select a picture, tap the menu button and scroll to "set picture as..." And select contact, then it will ask you to check the contact, and crop the photo.

        brilpitch, we want you to see whose calling you! Just access your contacts and select Edit. You will be provided with the option to add a photo for that contact from your picture gallery.

  • How do I get photos back for contacts that got lost when contacts transferred to new iPhone 4S?

    I went in to the Apple store ot get help betting my data & all transferred from my old phone or Outlook to my new phone.  They used a device that Verizon uses which apparently is the same type used to get contacts from one cell phone to the next--not a smart phone apparently.
    I've got dup contacts now--maybe because the way it was synced with my MacBookPro after converting the contacts. I already had most of my contacts converted over.  OK, I can compare & delete dups when I have time.
    But I also noticed later that the photos that i had for a # of my contacts all seem to be missing.  Is there a way to get them back?
    I thought of doing what I did with the calendars which was to delete the ones from the Mac & iPhone & then sync the iPhone to Outlook in Windows inBootcamp on my MacBookPro.
    But then I'm afraid I would either have more dup contacts or if I deleted them 1st, I would have to somehow restore a group of contacts that I only used for email & so except for a couple of them or so in the group, they were not in Outlook or my WinMob phone. I suppose that there is a way that I could somehow retrieve just that group from my Time Machine backup, but I'm not sure how to do that.
    Also in the transfer, none of the photos got transferred. They weren't mostly super important, but I am realizing now that I would like to have them.  Maybe I could just connect the old phone to Bootcamp & copy the photos from the phone to the C drive & then drag them over to the mac side & then learn how to get photos into iPhone contacts.
    Any suggestions on best ways to deal with this?

    Yes, I think that I should be able to easily get them from Bootcamp (which I have also set up as a virtual machine in Parallels 5) to the Mac side. When I moved from Dell I just brought just about all my stuff from my Dell--I think by copying them to my external back up drive & then connecting that to my Mac & copying it to Windows 7 & then dragging it over to the Mac side. I think that is how I did it.
    Back then I couldn't figure out any way to sync my Windows mobile phone with my Mac (althogh an iPhone can sync with Windows & Outlook--& I probaby should have used that to get all my pda data transferred. That was how I got my pda data into Outlook 2007 in bootcamp--by syncing with my phone.
    I suppose probably Apple forums would be a better place to ask this. I'm over there now asking about Apple ID (beware to set yours up right. different apple products have differnt requirements. My ID used to be this user name. iCloud requires an email address so the Apple guy helping me made that change. But then iTunes registration tells me my password is invalid--even though it is valid to log into One to One & btw, I highly reccomend getting a One to One contract for all the wonderful training they offer for only $99/yr.  I see the rules, they have the typical current rules many do, at least 8 characters & at least 1 upper case & 1 lower case & 1 numeral. My current one missed on 1 of those points & I don't know where to change it & iTunes just rejects it--doesn't take me to where i can change it--unless maybe I can say forgot password or something, but I haven't.
    OK; I guess I should try that.  Thanks for your help!

    Wooo.....
    I think the gist of your solution is in your last paragraph. I just got my first Mac, a MacBook Pro (a 17", quite a machine). If you move your pics over in Boot Camp, can you access them from the Mac side? If so, maybe you could set the contacts' photos in the Mac's contacts, then sync them to the phone with iCloud, maybe?
    I know it can't be that easy, but it may be a place to start...

  • Accidently set a photo to flash up on every call

    I have a xpress 5800 and last week I accidently set a photo in my gallery to flash up every time a number rings that I have not assigned a photo to or a number I do not know rings. Despite 3 emails to nokia and 3 acknowledgements of these emails and a promise to get in touch they have not bothered. Can anyone help me to undo what I've done? I cannot find any help in the booklet about it.
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Try this:
    Menu > Settings > Personal > Themes > Call Image
    Select "theme image" to go back to the default, "none" to have no call images or "user defined" to set a new picture.
    If the image is assigned to a specific contact you need to change that in the contacts section. If you need help post exactly how it's behaving (i.e. every caller, certain callers etc).

  • No syncing of photos, calenders and contacts, only music and Podcasts

    At first, syncing was no problem but now my 120 GB iPod Classic has decided to be a bit more selective of what it wants on the disc. Only Files that are stored over iTunes will be synced (Music, Podcasts). Photos, Calenders and Contacts won´t be synced anymore.
    I get no errors while or after syncing the iPod. The settings for Photo, Calender an Contacts are set to sync all files. There are still 46 GB storage left on the iPod and i have just a small amount of photos, so this couldn´t be the problem.
    I have also tried the "Restoring iPod to factory settings" function, but the problem remained and i also lost the photos that have been synced to the iPod when everything worked well.
    I have OS 10.4.11 and all the Online Updates for my MacMini 1,42 GHz installed.

    When you connect the iPod to iTunes the Summary screen appears, but this only shows Sync options for music and videos. Notice the tabs at the top of the Summary screen. The photos are another tab (or pane) - the Photo one and the calendars and contacts options are on the Contacts pane.
    I don't know about the Mac, but Windows updates to iTunes have been known to change the options, so if you have received an update, you need to check this.

  • Lost photos, messages and contacts when syncing!

    Hi, I used my iphone 5 for about a week and had a bunch of photos on it.  I then went to sync and it erased all my new photos, messages, and contacts and replaced with my old ones from my iphone 3.  How do I get them back?

    You did more than sync the iPhone since photos/videos in the Camera Roll and Messages are not included with the iTunes sync process.
    The first time you connect a new iPhone to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or set up the new iPhone as a new iPhone. The former option replaces the data on the new iPhone that is included with the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device followed by a sync matching the sync settings for the other iPhone or iOS device which is included with the backup. This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone, not days or weeks later. 
    The latter option doesn't transfer a backup for another iPhone or iOS device allowing you to make the selections that you want to sync under the various tabs for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. The settings, Camera Roll, and Messages are not touched.
    If you didn't import the photos from the Camera Roll prior to choosing to transfer the backup for your iPhone 3G or 3GS to the new iPhone, the photos, messages, and contacts manually entered on the iPhone over the last week or so are gone - replaced with the backup for your iPhone 3G or 3GS.

  • HELP, why can i not see my photo stream or contacts on icloud???

    I have set up and turned on everything in my icloud setting on my iphone, but none of my photos, mail, or contacts are loaded on my icloud website profile. anyone know why? my reminders and calenders are there.... please help!!!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photos aren't supposed to show up at iCloud.com, only iCloud mail can be viewed at iCloud.com, are you expecting other accounts to be available.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

  • Photos assigned to contacts?

    I am considering the 3G iPhone and I am wondering if I will be able to assign a photo to a contact and have that photo displayed full in the screen area when that contact calls me.

    Here's what you need to do.
    In iPhoto set up a new album. I named mine "Contacts". In this album put all the photos you'd like to use for your contacts. I suggest 1200x1600 sized photos because that's what the iPhone photos are (so you'll get a consistent experience).
    In iTunes, sync this album to your iPhone.
    On the iPhone, go to Photos, and select a photo and push the button on the bottom left of the screen. Select "Assign to Contact".
    Once you've found the appropriate contact it will now appear full screen when you receive a call.
    Hope that helps!

  • 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.

  • Hello, how can i get my photos,videos,and contacts of my iphone transfer to my pc. As i have lost my iphone 4

    Hello, how can i get my photos,videos,and contacts of my iphone transfer to my pc. As i have lost my iphone 4

    If you don't have your iPhone anymore, you can't access the data on it remotely.
    However, if you are syncing to iCloud, you can set up iCloud syncing on your computer and at least get your contact info.
    iCloud: Set up iCloud on your devices
    You might also think about putting your device in lost mode or erasing it:
    What steps should I take if I misplace my device?
    If you ever misplace your device—whether it’s just lost or you think it may have been stolen—you should put it into Lost Mode immediately using Find My iPhone.
    Lost Mode locks your screen with a four-digit passcode and lets you display a custom message with your phone number to help you get it back. You can also remotely erase your device if needed, and your custom message will continue to display even after the device is erased.
    While Activation Lock works in the background to make it more difficult for someone to use or sell your missing device, Lost Mode clearly indicates to anyone who finds your device that it still belongs to you and can’t be reactivated without your password.
    To put a device into Lost Mode, sign in to icloud.com/find from a Mac or PC or use the Find My iPhone iOS app.
    For more information, read what to do if your device is lost or stolen.

  • Have problem setting Email alerts for Calendar events. Warning message says I need to set up a card in Contacts with my email. I do but it doesn't recognize it. How do I indicate the email I want alerts sent to?

    The system of setting up email alerts for Calendar events worked fine in Snow Leopard but since I upgraded to Mt. Lion Calendar won't let me set email alerts. When I try, I get an error message saying I need to set up a card in Contacts for my email. I have a card set up in Contacts for both of my email addresses but it doesn't recognize them. Perhaps the name I have on the card doesn't match a name that Calendar is looking for. Calendar doesn't seem to have a way in Preferences or elsewhere to indicate the email I want alerts sent to. Any ideas how I can get this system working again? Thanks for your help.

    You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is marked solved, less people are likely to look at it. You can link to this one.
    See if another contact is marked as this is my card.
