Unable to see profile pictures

I am new to this so someone please help. When I search for someone it shows no profile pictures at all. How am I suppose to know im adding the right person? I have the actual google.play app

Hello, maryhigginbotha, and welcome to the Skype Community!
Also, welcome to Skype for Android!
Sometimes, users will opt to have their Profile Pictures hidden from all but their accepted contacts. In that case, you wouldn't be able to see those profile pictures. Sometimes, however, profile pictures won't be the most reliable ways when you consider that they can be copied and used to impersonate another user. I wouldn't rule it out that it could happen, albeit a low chance for ordinary people, but it can happen.
When you add someone, the best way to know that the person you're adding is genuinely the person you intend to add, you will want to clarify with the actual person their Skype Username. For example, there will always be many… many people named John Smith, but, if they joined Skype, each of them would have their own, unique username that you wouldn't find doubles of.
Keep in mind that their display name, which may be displayed instead of their username, is not always the same as their username. When checking for the correct username, check the value under the field "Skype Name" for best results. When in doubt, check their other online usernames - it's a common trend to see Skype names match up with other services' usernames.
If you're still having trouble finding the right person, consider searching for the specific person using their e-mail address. In addition, if you're having trouble finding them, consider having them find you.
Should you still need further assistance or if you would like to ask another question, please don't hesitate to post again!

Unable to show profile pictures and images in face...

Hi I have installed facebook app. After upgradation to 8.1 is few weeks later facebook app unable to show profile pictures. Tried reinstallation many times. Is there any problem with8.1 update ? i am facing so many issues.

Hi, disouza. Are you still encountering the same issue with your Facebook app? If so, have you tried uninstalling and then reinstalling it? Does it happen regardless of the internet connection you're using? Make sure that your connection is stable by accessing several websites via the IE app on your phone or using other web-based apps. You can also try visiting your Facebook account via your phone's browser to see if the profile picture and photos are working fine.
BTW, this issue started after installing the official Lumia Cyan to your phone, is that right? Did you also update your system apps? To check for pending updates, go to Store> ...> downloads.
In case you are no longer having the said issue, would you mind sharing how you fixed it for the benefit of other users who may experience the same?
Good day and welcome to our community.

Unable to change Profile picture in Windows 8

I recently upgraded to Windows 8. The upgrade imported a picture from my Windows 7 Skype, and now I am unable to change the profile picture. There is no menu at the top in Windows 8, which prevents me from changing the profile picture.
What are my options for correcting this, and also how does one sign out of Skype in Windows 8?
Thanks so much.

Although I'd love to provide a proper response, unfortunately I too have only questions, which I'd hope someone could answer. "Opening Skype and clicking on the picture" isn't as helpful as one would hope. With Windows 8 -- in either mode, through either Google Chrome or IE10 -- there is not only no menu or options with either right or left clicking, but no clear way to change a profile picture through any other means. I've tried everything I could think of -- literally wasting HOURS trying to change this thing. Googling the question gets me only fixes that don't appear to apply. In fact, the lack of coherent help regarding anything having to do with Windows 8 is nothing short of mindboggling -- and I consider myself a pretty good finder-of-information normally!!! I read elsewhere in these forums (unfortunately lost to me now that I have signed in) that it may be a problem relating to whether my browser is 32 or 64 bit (if I read it right). I have since tried to load Chrome in 64 bit.... probably unsuccessfully, given I still can't seem to do much differently. Being a bit of a techno-dud I don't know how to check which version I now have as even with the "about:version" function, the reply isn't definitive to my untrained eye (unless WOW64 means something?). I need things somewhat dummied down. I'm totally new to both Windows 8 and Skype (and for that matter Google Chrome, having always been a Firefox fan, which apparently is not working properly for Windows . ANY help that might be available would be greatly appreciated in making this experience less frustrating. Thank you for whatever you can do!!!

No videos recording and unable to see new pictures with iOS 6

I recently updated my Iphone 4S with iOS6 and when I try to record a video the app crashes. Is there anything that I may do to resolve this situation?
On the other hand pictures taken are not visible on the camera roll. I only can see old pictures but no newones.
Is anyone having the same issues?
Any clue?

Followed every one of the many branches to this link. Not a single thing helped. Ultimately completely removed Firefox from my desktop and then reinstalled it (importing my address book from my laptop).
Makes me a lot less of a fan of Mozilla, if the program is this inherently unstable.
:-(

Replace friends profile pictures with those in my contacts

Hi, anybody here know how to replace friend's bbm profile pictures with those in contact phone book like those before BB10?
On my 9700 & 9780, I can link a BBM contact with my phonebook contact, and I'd an option to use phonebook contact picture foe the BBM contact.
Anyone got it working or it's just another function discarded by BB10?

Do you see profile pictures for any of your contacts at all? Or is it that you only see it for selected ones?
All those that don't show a profile picture to you (but you've confirmed with them that they have one) can you check that right-clicking on their contact the menu doesn't show a "Resend contact request" option?

Friends Profile Pictures never update since instal...

Hi Guys,
I have Skype on my Mac and my friends' profile pictures have NEVER, and I mean NEVER, updated since I installed it 2 years ago. In fact, if a friend asks me what I think of his/her new photo, I have to login to outlook.com, go to People, find the friend from my contact list and then finally see the latest pic.
Is there a way to fix this? If not, is this a known issue - can I expect it to be resolved in an update?
Thanks!
P.S.: I have tried reinstalling the application several times but no dice!

HT201302 I connected my iphone to the PC and I can see the iPhone icon however when I click on it I cannot see the pictures. It shows an empty folder. How can I view my pictures?

Hi,
I connected my iphone to the PC and was able to see the iphone icon. However when clicking on the icon I get an empty folder and am unable to see any pictures.
How do I resolve this?

Hello there litaloz,
I found this little gem to help you get your photos imported to your PC. Named iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer it can be found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083.
It has different instructions depending on what version of Windows you are running.
All the best,

Users are unable to see their own profile photo although everyone else can see it in Lync 2013 client

We have Lync 2013, Exchange 2010 and several AD
servers in mixed mode 2003/2008.
All user are unable to see their own profile photo
either in the main Lync window, in the settings or in a chat although other user can see that their photo is there and displaying. The user experiencing the issue can go open Outlook 2013 client and will see their photo displaying correctly in the file menu
(and elsewhere) here.
I have confirmed this happens with any new users I set up as well. We have gone through a fair amount of troubleshooting with other Lync photo issues and simple fixes such as deleting the SIP cache folder etc proves to be ineffective.
Our Cs-ClientPolicy Global is set to websearchonly.
We have "Replicate this attribute to the Global Catalog" set
for the ThumbnailPhoto attribute in AD.
We are also forcing photos from AD only (or no photo) by setting the following:
"Set-CsClientPolicy -Identity PhotosControl -DisplayPhoto
PhotosFromADOnly"
and finally we are importing the photo in ad using this PS command:
"Import-RecipientDataProperty -Identity "Test User"
-Picture -FileData ([Byte[]]$(Get-Content -Path "C:\pictures\testuser.jpg" -Encoding Byte -ReadCount 0))"
The pictures being uploaded are under 10KB in size.
I have followed many threads and will provide any information I can to help find the problem. Thank you in advance.
EDIT: I have also tried the following but with no success: https://knowledge.zomers.eu/misc/Pages/How-to-fix-your-photo-not-showing-up-in-the-Lync-client.aspx

Hi Jdentremont,
Lync client gets user photos by first querying the Address Book Web Query (ABWQ) service on the server, which is exposed through the Distribution List Expansion web service. The client receives
the image file and then copies it to the user's cache to avoid downloading the image each time it needs to be displayed. The attribute values returned from the query are also stored in the cached Address Book Service entry for the user. The Address Book Service
deletes all cached images every 24 hours, which means that it can take up to 24 hours for new user images to be updated in the cache on the server.
To troubleshoot your problem, please follow the steps below:
1. Navigate to
“X:\share\1-WebServices-1\ABfiles\000000000\000000000” folder. (ABS file share)
You should see some photo files in this folder as the following screenshot.
2. Delete all the files in this folder.
3. On test PC, delete local cache files.
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\[email protected]
4. Sign-in Lync with the test account.
5. Go back to the ABS file share, check if there is any Photo file in the folder.
Best regards,
Eric

Firefox dont allow me to see thumbnails and profile pictures of my facebook friends

I cant see my friend's thumbnails and profile pictures. It makes me upset cuz i cant see any pictures!

It is possible that you clicked "Block Images" in the right-click context menu while saving an image.
* [[Options window - Content panel]]
* [[Images or animations do not show]]
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
You can use these steps to check if images are blocked:
* Open the web page that has the images missing in a browser tab.
* Click the website favicon ([[Site Identity Button]]) on the left end of the location bar.
* Click the "More Information" button to open the "Page Info" window with the Security tab selected (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
* Go to the <i>Media</i> tab of the "Tools > Page Info" window.
* Select the first image link and scroll down through the list with the Down arrow key.
* If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.
