Suggestion: Displaying Contact Picture in iMessage

I suggest to add contact pictures display in iMessage. Displaying name only can be a problem for people having trouble remembering name like myself. I have sent message to the wrong person multiple times.

IOS 5 displays contact picture in full screen...

Does anyone know if this is one of the changes in iOS 5? Since iPhone 2G, I would set a contact image on my CPU and it would display as a thumbnail as apposed to the entire screen.
Thanks for looking.

Dear arob615,
Reduce the resolution.
The picture will display as thumbnail on the phone when a call comes in.
Since Mountain Lion I had full screen caller pictures even when assigned in the OS X adress book.
In my case I reduced the picture to 64 x 64 pixels.
Then it showed as thumbnail as calls came in.
I don't know where the exact maximum pixel size for thumbnail display is.
If you find out, tell us.
This bugged me a long time and I would enjoy if this could help you.
Best regards

Is it possible to display contact pictures in the messaging app?

My dad was wondering if it's possible to show a contact's picture when he is texting them so that he doesn't accidentally text the wrong person. I didn't think it was possible, but hey, no harm in asking. I guess when you're sending a text to someone you could always use the contacts app to open up a new message so it is automatically addressed to whichever contact you pressed?

No, but if going to the trouble of selecting the contact in Contacts each time before composing and sending a new message, make sure the correct person's name is selected in Messages which is also available in the header bar when a contact's messaging conversation is selected.

Contact pictures in Address Book not being displayed

Hi,
I am syncing my address book, calendar with Google. My "source" usually is the Mac address book. After having activated the "Mac <=> Google" sync, everything worked fine in the begining. But the last six weeks I seem to have a problem with the contact pictures:
I have created contact pictures for nearly 95% of my contacts. These pictures were copied to the address book either from iPhoto or from the web. Via Google sync, the contacts are transfered to my iPod touch, my iPhone and my Nokia Lumia 800.
Suddenly the contact pictures started to disappear from my Mac address book, but were still visible in my Google address book and my mobile devices.
When I started to add the pictures to my address again I realized that most pictures are still there, they were simply not being displayed in my Mac address book. By switching to "edit mode" and opening the picture field I could see the pictures again. After clicking "OK" the pictures is visible again.
I double checked all pictures, added the few missing ones and created an "address book archive". Yesterday all pictures gone again. I imported the archive, all pictures back again. This morning, the pictures are gone again. This whole thing doesn't seem to affect Google or the mobile devices.
Any idea what the problem with the address book is?
PS: Before you suggest to switch to iCloud. I need to sync my address book and calendar with all my mobile devices. If I would use iCloud, I would not be able to sync with my Nokia Lumia 800 (Windows Phone). And from comments in the forum, there seem to be similar problems with iCloud concerning address book information.
Thanks for your ideas.

I found this article online:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20004209-263.html
Export an Address Book Archive of all your contacts, then import it right back in. Worked like a charm.

Contact Pictures not displaying in texts...

At some point yesterday my contact pictures has stopped showing up in text messages. They still appear when calls are placed and in the actual contact information, but no longer are in texts. I have restarted my phone and also shut it off for over an hour to try to get them to reload. Any suggestions on how to fix this or why this may have happend. They were there yesterday morning then just stopped showing up...

Thank you for your reply. These were contact pictures that I had specifically gone in and set for contacts (I.E. for my brother there is a picture of my nephew as his contact picture). I had to delete the pictures from the contacts and then just re-assign them, seems to be working perfectly fine now. I'm sure it was just some sort of glitch.

Contact pictures not displaying in Lync 2011 for Mac

Using Lync 2011 for Mac I'm not seeing any contact pictures (including my own), though I can see them when signed into Lync 2013 on a Windows PC (7, 8.1, and 10 Technical Preview for Enterprises).
My company uses O365 hosted Exchange and on premise Lync Server.
I'm using OSX 10.10.1 (on a 2014 Air) and Lync for Mac 2011 14.0.10 (141024). I have AutoUpdate set to automatically check weekly and I manually checked (button at the bottom of Microsoft AutoUpdate) so I believe I'm running the current release.
Logging in with another user account on my same Mac/Lync install has the same issue
Another user account on their own Mac also has the same issue
It's also worth noting that the same issue arises when signing into Lync for Android and iOS as well, but not on Windows (Lync 2013).
Any thoughts? Thank you very much for your time and assistance.
Also, my apologies for putting this question in this subforum, but I didn't see any main forum for Office for Mac or Lync 2011 or Lync for Mac at all. If there is such here on technet, please drop the link here and I'll move the thread.

Hi abacus02,
On mobile, you have no control over how photos are displayed. Lync Mobile can only display photos retrieved from Active Directory or SharePoint, it cannot display a photo from a URL. If a user
is displaying a photo from a URL and there is a photo in AD, it will display the photo from AD. If there is no photo in AD, it will display no photo at all.
About Lync for Mac, as I know Lync 2011 for Mac does not support high resolution images. Only in Lync 2013,
In Lync 2013, when the user’s photo experience has been migrated to Exchange 2013 and they are using Lync 2013, high resolution photos can be used.
So please tell us where the photos are stored, we need more information to troubleshoot the issue.
Best regards,
Eric

Contact Picture on the display by incoming sms

And maybe also that i have the picture of the person in the sms-overview?
Thanks for your advices!

Not possible on the iPhone (contact pics are displayed with voice calls only).

Nokia E52 display caller's name and contact pictur...

Can someone advise me on possible problem with my E52 - I am very pleased with most aspects of the phone but it is not showing the name of the caller or the contact picture when I receive a call (just the number).
Surely it is standard for every Nokia phone to show name of caller? I know S Ericsson phones show name and picture for both call and text. Nokias should at lease display the name?
Can anyone please advise on this?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

generally this is the cause have a look here it might help some more

Can I see contact icons/pictures in iMessage on iPhone 5 running iOS 7?

Can I see my contact icons/pictures in iMessage on iPhone 5 running iOS 7? I know this is a stupid little thing, but all my previous Android phones would show the contact icons/pictures not only in the conversation but also in the list of iMessage threads. This was exceptionally helpful for me, as I am slightly dyslexic. It saved me several times from sending messages to the wrong person. Since I coordinate my entire job through my phone, I really miss this feature. If anyone knows of anyway to get this feature back please let me know.
Thank you!!

The only time you can see the contact picture is in a group message, unfortunately.

Unable to send picture using iMessage to specific contact.

All of a sudden this afternoon I can no longer send pictures using iMessage to a specific contact. The contact is the other phone in my house which is an iPhone 4 and I am using a 4s. The iPhone 4 can send photos to me using iMessage with no problem but I cannot send any to that one. iMessage will show delivered and then change to not delivered, I have turned iMessage off and on, done soft and hard reboots, and done a restore as well from a time when it was working. In every scenario I get the not delivered message. Can anyone help with this?

of course all 3 iphone 4s are using there own apple id's
all 3 did work when new
turned all off rebooted turned back on then 2 worked then stopped working a day later
other one is showing a an email address even though its set as phone number
the exact settings as the 4s that shows a phone number
but i cant send text or photo imessages to that one from the other 2 4's devices
first time i fixed it it still wasnt sending photo imessages until i sent a photo imessage to myself from the recieving device then all **** broke loose and i started recieving test imessages id been sending the past few days
stopped working next day again as expected
dont worry bout it bro, thanks for the advice but its already wasted too much of my time
turning it off and leaving it off is the best fix ive found lol

HT4623 The iOS 7.0.6 update failed, my iPhone 5S disappeared from iTunes and now is displaying the picture: iTunes and a USB plug. Turning it Off and On didn't fix it. iTunes doesn't see it. Any suggestions?

The iOS 7.0.6 update failed, my iPhone 5S disappeared from iTunes and now is displaying a picture iTunes logo and a USB plug and black backgraound. Turning it Off and On didn't fix it. iTunes doesn't see it. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Lawrence.
I've tried http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and other suggestions first, which turned out unrelated.
I've finally fixed the issue by plugging the cable in the USB 3 ports in the back of PC instead of the ports in the front, the iTunes saw the phohe and the recovery started automatically.
In the hindsight, I realized that the either the required prerequisite iTunes 11.1.5.5 update installed a USB driver incompatible with my PC's front side USB ports that I always used for my iPhone syncing prior or it was always
incompatible, but worked in all modes except the recovery.
Cheers,
Michael

I am running ios7 and cannot send pictures via iMessage to only one contact but they can send me pictures. What is going on?

I am having issues sending pictures via iMessage to only one of my contacts. They can send me pictures through iMessage so why are mine coming back undelivered?

Have managed to get it working.
It might be as simple as switching the other phone completely off, and resetting it...
I say this because I have no idea how I finally managed to get it working again. I tried so many things. Removing all the iMessage addresses. Sending messages from the computer, iPad...etc and found that the weakest link was my wife's phone. It wasn't receiving iMessage pictures from ANYONE (not just me). That allowed me to narrow down the possibilities somewhat.
Let me know if simply resetting the other person's phone fixes the problem.
Rob
