Sync wont update contact pictures on Windows 7 Contacts

I use the application MyPhone to sync new facebook pictures to my iPhone contacts.
I also use iTunes 10.1.0.54 to sync with my iPhone 4 and have it set to sync contacts with 'Windows Contacts'. That ends up coming into the 'Contacts' folder in 'My Documents'.
Although, when I update the pictures with MyPhone and try to sync them back to my Contacts it does not update the Contacts on Windows.
Surely I cant be the only one with this issue. Is there a fix?

When you're syncing your iPhone with iTunes, are the new contact pictures on your iPhone reverting back to match the photos in Windows Contacts?
I'm also a windows 7 user and I sync with windows contacts as well. What I have noticed, although I sync over the air with MobileMe, is that syncing with windows contacts is not too reliable. Eventually changes will show, but it may take a few syncs and photo updates. Maybe try downloading windows live connector and link your windows live ID with your Facebook account. I believe this too will sync contact photos with their Facebook photo.

I upgraded my iPhone last night but at the end of the upgrade the Contacts were synched. This has replaced my iPhone contacts with my Windows contacts. Is there a way to restore my iPhone contacts?

I upgraded my iPhone last night. At the end of the upgrade iTunes synched the Contacts, but all my iPhone contacts have been deleted and replaced by the Windows contacts on my computer. Can the iPhone contacts be restored? The latest backup shows the time to be after the sync so we tried to restore the iPhone but only the Windows contact list is there. Can you access any previous backup files anywhere?

Hello ymprice91277, let's solve this mystery! To unlink the Facebook contacts go to Settings, Facebook, turn off contacts.

Windows 8.1 & Skype: how to call a contact from the Windows Contact List?

Hi I just added a contact on Win 8.1 Surface. When I try to call directly from the windows contact list I get a message that skype has been replaced by skype for desktop. When I remove the skype app (and keep skype for desktop) calling from the list is also not possible: I get a message that no app is associated (message-skype-com) Is there a way around it? Or is it currently not possible to call a skype contact from windows contacts?

Hi, Pancake12,
Because I am not certain I an interpreting what you mean - although it looks quite literal - I am going to provide three separate pieces of information:
- To remove a contact's name from your Skype sign-in window, please refer to the instruction in this FAQ article - using their account name, not yours: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA11070/how-can-i-remove-my-skype-name-from-the-sign-in-screen-in-s...
- In case you mean removing a contact from the Skype Home Screen when you say, "sign in window," unfortunately, we cannot do this. Skype has some arbitrary algorithm which places recently contacted people on the Home Screen.
- In case you mean removing a contact from your contact list, here is an FAQ with the details how to do this: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA421/how-do-i-organize-my-contacts In Windows, it's as easy as highlighting by single-clicking a contact's name, right-click, and choose Remove from Contacts or Block.
Hope this helps!
Elaine

IPhone 6 wont update facebook profile pics in Contacts

I recently went from an Android phone to an iPhone 6. Did my research to link Facebook Profile pics to my contacts and followed the directions. It does not update the contact photo's in my contacts list.
Any suggestions?

Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
If this does not work, you'll have to search for an Authorized Apple Service Provider next to your place, if you don't want to make that longer trip to the Apple Store:

Cannot do wifi sync after update IOS 6 using windows vista pc with itunes 10.7

I cannot do the wifi sync,I am using IPAD 3 with IOS 6.I heard people said to do synchronous wireless.It would work I using Windows Vista,then I using Itunes 10.7.Somebody can help me to solve these problem or give me feedback to solve these problem.

Like many others, most of the the workarounds I tried worked but for awhile only and/or not reliably. After more googling and trial and error, I finally ended up with a somewhat reliable solution using the below 2 changes. (I am running up-to-date Win7 with an Ipad2 and an Iphone5 both on ios 6 + and up-to-date Itunes software on the PC).
1) Disable IPv6 on the wireless adapter (see CKNairb's earlier post)
2) Create a bat file which stops and starts the "Apple Mobile Device" service, then starts Itunes
The bat file can be placed in any dir and a desktop shortcut created to point to it in order to easily start Itunes (right-clicking properties of the shortcut and clicking "Change Icon" will even allow the selection of the Itunes icon to make it look just right :-) )
The bat file should contain these lines:
net stop "Apple Mobile Device"
net start "Apple Mobile Device"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\iTunes.exe"
Edit accordingly as to whether your Itunes.exe resides in \Program (x86) or \Program.
By starting Itunes using this shortcut/bat file, you will ensure that the Mobile Device service is up and running when Itunes attempts to locate the devices wirelessly - this seems to be the key issue here.
Although it is not 100% reliable, I would say that both devices are detected and synced 90% of the time. (Itunes will always find one of the 2 devices).
Anyways, based on all I have gone through to get this work, I am willing to settle for "almost reliable" solution - hopefully this may work for others as well.
Happy syncing!

Unlink Facebook 'home page' & contact pictures

I have Facebook contact sync off, but it has been synced before (so the pictures in their contact cards are their FB profile pictures). Is there a way to remove these photos and the 'home page'/facebook link, other than manually?
For example in each contact that was previously linked to a FB account, in their contact card there is a 'home page' field (fb://profile/00000) and a 'Facebook' field with their name. I want all of this crap gone!!
Thanks!

I agree is is not a third party issue. My phone has been crazy since the update (but wasn't great before). This is my second phone because of problems I have had with it. It does crazy things like when I unlock the screen the time is ALWAYS exactly an hour prior to the actual time (and the time zone is correct). Also, when I go to send a text message, the message appear correctly but if I click on them quickly when I start typing I am actually sending the message to the person that was in that message slot 24 hours before. My text messages no longer show my contact photos even though I don't have "phone only" checked. I have tried both with and without being synched to FB but still no success. And another weird thing, since the update I have discovered I am able to take a screen shot and that is without an app because I've never downloaded one or even tried that...it was an accident the first time and I did it again and again and it works. Craziest phone I've ever seen. I do want a solution to my photos being in my text message contacts. Their names are there with their numbers, just no photos, no matter if it is a saved photo from the phone or a FB linked contact

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.

Contact Pictures not saving

Hi there! I have had an iphone for a few weeks now and I have the iphone 3G. Ever since I bought the phone, the phone does not allow me to save contact pictures for my contacts. I go into the designated area of the contact i want to add a picture to, I then click on the designated area to add a photo... I then add the photo and the image appears under the contact. I then leave the contacts screen, push Menu and enter back into the contact that I added the picture to and the image is not saved. Everytime I have tried to add a photo to any contact it does not save. Even my friends who have iphones think its weird cause it works on their phones. What is wrong? Do I need to change some permissions on a directory or something? I have already done a restore and an update to 2.2.1 and this does not resolve the problem. Help!

You have to click "Done" after you have added the photo to the contact. You cannot tap the home screen button, or the photo will not save.
If you have been doing this, and the photo will not save to the contact, do a restore on iTunes.

Contact pictures in Mail

I like the fact that Mail shows you your contact picture for those contacts that contain a picture in Address Book.
However, I don't want the picture to print for certain emails.
Is there a way, other than removing the picture from the contact in Address Book, of not printing the contact's picture?

OSXAlex,
Actually, there is a way to print emails without the picture. However, it might not be just what you want....
If you open Mail's preferences and look at the "Viewing" tab, you'll notice a pull-down menu at the top of the window. This is for selecting what is shown in the header. You can choose "none" to remove the header from view altogether, thereby removing the picture. The email will print as it is displayed, with no header or picture.
Unfortunately, that's the only way to get rid of the picture: To remove the header entirely. If you can live with that, you can be rid of the picture.

Transfer iphone contacts to windows contacts

hi.
i need to transfer my contacts from my iphone to windows contacts but i do not know how to go about doing it (without erasing the contacts from my iphone).
thanks in advance

There is no transfer, only a sync with the supported address book application on your computer.
If you are currently using Windows Contacts - it is populated with contact info, the first time you sync your iPhone with Windows Contacts, you should be provided a merge prompt, which you want to select. This will transfer all contact info on your iPhone that is not currently available in Windows Contacts to Windows Contacts, and transfer all Windows Contact info that is not currently available in your iPhone's address book to your iPhone's address book. The data for any contacts with the same name will be merged.
If you aren't currently using Windows Contacts - it is empty, before syncing enter one contact in Windows Contacts - make this contact up if needed, which can be deleted later. This will provide a merge prompt, which you want to select. This will transfer all your iPhone contact info to Windows Contacts.

Facebook contact pictures

Hi all,
I upgraded from a Z1 now and loving this Z3. I've noticed however that the Xperia with Facebook app isn't syncing the high resolution pictures of my contacts. I'm wondering if this feature is missing or removed. Has anyone else noticed this?

I have the same problem. I saw the solution here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/help/caller-id-photo-t2895902, but i think that there should be the solution without 3rd party apps

Contact picture setting

iPhone 5 where is the setting to view contacts pictures in the contact list, NOT just when you have 1 contact on the screen but in the list? I had the iPhone 5 before and there use to be a setting for that and I am not finding it now.

I'm looking for contact pictures to show up in the contact list not to add a photo to the contact.
