Took a new photo while in *contact* page; now where is it??

Today, while inputting a friend's email address, I decided to take a pic to attach to his contact. Normally, I'd take a pic using the Camera app, but since I was already on his contact page, I took it from within the Contacts app, by tapping "add photo," then "take photo." Then I told him I'd send it to him.
Well, the pic shows up with the contact (and it synced to Address Book on the Mac) but on the iPhone, _the pic doesn't show up in either the camera roll or the photo library._
How do I access that pic?

I hadn't noticed this until now, but you're right-- you can't access photos that you take from the Contact app to assign to a contact from the Photos app and, therefore can't import them.
So, to answer the question, I don't think you can. If I'm wrong, someone please correct me!

  • Inserting a NEW photo while composing mail is tedious

    Many times while composing an email I just want to take a new photo and add it to the email I am just composing.
    I would expect this to be possible in the following straightforward manner:
    Open the mail app
    Create new email, enter adress and subject
    Write the mail body
    Long tap into mail body, select "Take photo" (a non-existent item)
    Take the new photo which is then inserted into the mail body
    Send
    This operating steps seem most natural and intuitive to me.
    Instead in the current iOS I am forced
    to switch over from mail app to photo app,
    take the photo,
    switch back to mail app,
    select "Insert photo",
    select the album,
    scroll all the way down to the last picture
    tap the picture just taken
    confirm again that i want that picture
    then, finally, the picture is inside my mail body. Whew!
    This is extremely tedious, counter-intuitive and absolutely not Apple-like.
    I just can't understand why especially Apple, known for its simplicity of use, is unable to handle this extremely common use case in a decent way.
    Or am I missing something?

    Thanks for your quick answer.
    Your description presumes that I know I want to send a picture in the first place.
    But many times my initial intention is just sending an email. So I open the mail app and start typing. While typing or just before finishing the email, I get the idea of attaching a nice picture of mine, just as an additional niceness. So, there I am stuck, sitting in the mail app and considering if it is worth taking all the fuss of changing an re-changing apps just to insert that silly picture of mine. Eventually I always end up leaving out the photo because it is just too much of a tapping, swiping and scrolling mess.

  • Lost new photos while restoring backup

    Hi,
    I recently switched from an iphone 4 to iphone 5. Before changing the phone I had taken a backup on iTunes on my PC (Windows 7). After getting the phone 5, I used it for several days without restoring the backup from iTunes on my PC. I had taken some photos during this time. When I recently connected my phone to the PC, iTunes prompted me if I wanted to restore backup. On clicking 'Yes', I got all my old photos in the new phone but lost all the new ones I had taken. It was so frustrating.. as if you are back to your old phone!!! Are there any ways to recover the new pics?? Please let me know, I really need those new pics!!

    Same problem.  My wife lost her iPhone 3Gs while on vacation.  Purchased iPhone 5 on the trip and took pictures with it.  When we got back home I clicked restore from a previous backup and all the pictures disappeared.
    I wonder if Apple is reading this thread. ?????????
    NO... What did you expect the phone to do when you restore from a backup.
    You should've imported the new pics to your computer as you would a digital camera..

  • HT4859 I shared itunes account with my daughter, had never synced my phone with computer, synced with computer and chose daughter's phone instead of create new phone, all phone contacts are now gone replaced with daughter's - is there no way to get contac

    I shared itunes account with daughter's phone, never synced my phone with home computer through itunes, synced tonight with itunes but choose her iphone and it restored all her info on my phone, all my phone contacts, text messages and photos are gone  - I had auto backup to icloud daily - is there any way to get phone numbers and texts back off icloud?

    If you have been backing up to iCloud your camera roll photos, text messages and other data and setting should be contained in the backup.  Restoring the backup to the phone should recover them.
    To do this, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings (which will erase the phone), then go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts.  Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.

  • Imported new photos to iPhoto - can I now delete the old folders?

    I just finished importing a bunch of photos from folders on my Mac into iPhoto. Can I now delete those folders?

    As long as you have iPhoto setup to copy photos into the library (a managed library) when imported
    you can delete the folders.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Since upgrating iPhoto to 2.0 (531) I can't to create a new album while sharing the photos

    Hello!
    Since upgrading iPhoto to 2.0 (531) I can't create a new album while I'm sharing the photos. There is no button "+" or "create new album" where I want to put them. I can choose between existing albums, one of them is album called "iOS Photos".
    iOS 7.0.3, iPad 4th Gen.

    Do you know who I can ask about it?
    I hope, someone who uses FB with iPhoto will look into this. YOu probably have already looked at the help page:

  • Once you dropped your iPhone, will the quality of new photos that will be captured be affected once you took a new ones?

    Once you dropped your iPhone (no damage), will the quality of new photos that will be captured be affected once you took a new ones? Can someone give advise? Just wondering if that would affect my iPhone. I dropped it once without case. I'm using an iPhone 5s.
    Kind Regards,
    Zaldy

    Not quite clear about the question. Does the camera take pictures in lower quality after you dropped the phone than before? In that case the camera might be damaged and your phone needs to be serviced:
    Apple - Support - Service Answer Center
    Some more things to try before that:
    Camera
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

  • 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...

    What does "I caught my phone 4" mean?
    All contacts, calendars, photos etc should be on your computer as the iphone is designed to be synced to your computer.
    Just sync them to your new iphone.
