Update iPhone contacts Photos with Facebook

Hello all. Maybe I'm just missing something, but here's what I want to do. I do not want to sync my facebook contacts onto my iPhone, that's far too many contacts I don't need. Instead what I want to do is update the photos on my phone's contacts to their current facebook ones. Most of the ones right now are out dated, no longer current profile pictures. Any way for me to get the current ones? I've tried using the update contacts button, but it doesn't pull their new profile pictures.
Thanks for any help.

Try uninstalling the facebook application and re installing the application. Make sure once you are setting the facebook application back up to choose the option sync with contacts.

After installing latest update the contact photos don't show on incoming call

After installing latest update the contact photos don't show on incoming call

Possible iTunes issue:
Try the following after adding photos.
Go to file
Then Home Sharing
Select photos to share
Click on All Photos already selected Do anyway
When Apply turns black click on Apply
Now go to Apple TV to see if photos there
Or restart iTunes.
Works for me every time photos do not appear on my Apple TV 3
Hopefully will work for you.

How to move iPhone contact list with custom ringtones to OS X server Contacts?

I have recently setup a new Mac Pro, Mid 2012, running Mavericks OS X Server. I was previously syncing through iTunes on Snow Leopard, 10.6...
Due to the changes in Mavericks WRT iTunes address book syncing, I want to setup Contacts in Server, as I do not want to use iCloud. I tried using the Address Book sync on my MacBook Pro, but that doesn't appear to save any custom ringtone data. I setup Contacts in Server & I moved the current address book to Mavericks, but dragging the contacts into the Server list in Contacts generates warnings, "Some contacts could not be copied to the server" and then sometimes starts duplicating the groups and contacts. The system log has some errors that seem related (system & user munged):
Jan 1 22:44:46 system.sub.domain Contacts[3203]: Error reading store metadata: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=260 "The file \u201cAddressBook-v22.abcddb\u201d couldn\u2019t be opened because there is no such file."

So the question is:
How to does one move or import iPhone contact list with custom ringtones to OS X server Contacts? ... and will Contacts save/preserve the ringtone settings?
Thanks

lsof is the standard tool for listing open files, although I'm not quite sure it'll do what you want.
It will list every open file used by every process on the machine, including many you don't expect. I don't know how it will present files opened by network users - whether they'll appear as owned by the file sharing process or not at all. Definitely one to try.

I do not need anything to change on my email that is working fine on both.

gspielman,
Help has arrived to assist you with getting those contacts on both your devices. The Verizon cloud service is definitely a great tool to use and you can also use Apple iCloud as well. When you sign into the Verizon cloud on your iPad does it give an option or message to restore?

IPhone contact photos not showing up!

I have set different photos as icons for a lot of my contacts. When they call, the picture only shows up as a very small icon in the upper left hand side of the screen. On my wife's iPhone 4S, her photos come across as full screen.
No I'm not using Facebook pics and yes I emailed these photos to myself and downloaded them from email to "assign to contact".
thanks

Please re-post if you have figured this out! I am having the same issue, though with mine the only contact photos that show up are for people with iPhones(?). I cannot find a solution.

Blue dot on Iphone 5 photos with direct sunlight in them

I do not understand how this is not on EVERY SINGLE forum and website for the iphone 5. I recently purchased a new iphone 5s after struggling with a lot of issues with my 4. I bought my 5s a week and a half ago and promptly began having tons of server errors, apps crashing, calls failed and on and on. I also discovered that there was a VERY BRIGHT BLUE dot that showed up on every single phone and video taken that had any amount of direct sunlight in it (say goodbye to beautiful sunset pictures).
I went back into apple and was told to restore, and then completely clear my phone. I did everything they asked and when everything failed and after literally hours and hours on the computer and in person with technicians, I went in for a replacement yesterday. After three hours in the apple store I walked out of the store with what I thought was a perfect new phone. I went onto the street and took a short video. And you know what--there was a BRIGHT BLUE DOT on the video. So I went BACK into the apple store for the 10th time. I spoke to a salesperson and he had no idea what I was talking about. I showed him the video and he was baffled. I then picked up the other iphones and began testing them out. Every SINGLE one had this bright blue dot on the image or video when pointed toward sunlight. Apparently there is something with the new glass of these cameras that cannot handle direct sunlight (which is ridiculous to me). The sales person went and spoke to the Apple Technitions that were "downstairs" and they acknowledged, this is just the way it is, the glass cannot handle direct sunlight.
So, I thought, OK, well, I guess I will have to stop taking photos of sunsets and directly into the sun through cityscapes etc....I will do my very best to make peace with this..However, last night, I was taking photos of some lights at night and a variation of this happened again except with tons of little blue lights flaring of the christmas lights I was taking photos of.
As a videographer and photographer, the new iphone camera was a serious draw and factor in my newest purchase. The fact that EVERY SINGLE ONE of these current phones on the sales floor seem to have the same faulty hardware with their cameras absolutely blows my mind. What use is fancy glass on a camera if it takes shots with bright blue dots right in the middle of every screen? I would REALLY like to get some feedback from apple on this note because I am hugely dissapointed with this phone and blown away that this issue has not been addressed formally.

Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, deselect Sync Photos followed by a sync. This should remove all photos transferred from your Mac to the iPhone. Follow this by reselecting Sync Photos and confirming your selections below followed by a sync.
If no change after this, try targeting or deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache on your computer.

E7 - No status updated in contact book with Social...

Hi,
I have noticed a new functionality in the Beta of Social 1.3 where status updates are shown in the contact book respectively. This worked once and stopped ever since. I installed the most current release from the Ovi store (post-beta as of June), but I can't get status updates to the contacts in my contact book. I have mapped the contacts in Social 1.3, as appearently indicated by the icon that looks like a contact book with a little chain piece. But no success yet. Is there a trick to get this to work?
Hints are appreciated
Robert

If your contacts were synced to your Mac, then yes they will have been written to it's hard drive at some point. Whether data recovery software can recover your contacts or not is another question and one that can't be answered because there is no guarantees with data recovery as to what can be recovered.

Add or change Contact Photos with Maverick

Add or change contact pictures is not working in Contacts with Maverick! Editing or Changing Contact Photos by double clicking on the photo box opens a menu with the options of: Defaults, iCloud, Faces, and Camera. However if I try and use Faces, the only thing that comes up is a message: "Find and organise photos of people in iPhoto or Aperture using Faces" No Photos load! And yes I do have Faces set up in iPhoto.

So you don't get anything when editing the photo? No window of any kind?
Do you have any other editing issues with those contacts? You could have a corrupt index file that is not letting you edit them.
If it is not a corrupt index, a workaround for putting in photos is you can drop images into the photo frame.

Deleting iPhone contacts & syncing with MobileMe

I had been syncing iphone contacts to a mobileme account and then wanted to instead sync them to another mobileme account (the main account in a family). This is a problem since you cannot delete all the contacts on the iPhone (I had 2000 of them.) and iPhone syncing with mobileme does not allow you to replace contacts on the iPhone with what is on mobileme. (iPhone allows only a merge which would duplicate contacts and add many I no longer wanted.) After considering the "solution" offered by a "Genuis" which was to reset the iPhone and start over which is a painful process to reorganize the apps and login all apps that require it, etc. Instead I developed the following procedure that worked great (This was with Mac OS 10.6.8 and IOS 4.3.5):
1) Sync address book on Mac to make sure mobileme is up to date.
2) Backup all the address book to an address book archive and/or select all contacts and save in a vcard file (File -> Export)
3) Uncheck sync of contacts in MobileMe (Apple -> System Preferences -> MobileMe -> Sync tab)
4) Select all contacts in Address Book and hit delete (Edit -> Select All, then hit delete)
5) Select all groups in Address Book and delete (select first group, hold shift and click last group, then hit delete)
6) Connect iPhone and sync. Go to info tab in iTunes and select Sync Address Book Contacts, then Under Advanced, check Replace Information on this iPhone - Contacts. This will transfer contacts (none) from Mac to iPhone which will delete all existing iPhone contacts. Click apply and then sync.
7) After sync, disconnect iPhone and verify there are no contacts on iPhone.
8) On iPhone, go to Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Accounts -> MobileMe (login if you haven't done so), turn on Contacts (to sync with mobileme)
9) In a few minutes, the contacts on the iPhone (none) will be merged with the desired contacts in MobileMe and the contacts in MobileMe should show up in the iPhone Address book - This completes the iPhone.
10) On the Mac, go to Apple->System Preferences->Mobile Me->Sync tab and recheck Contacts. Click Advanced, Reset Sync Data, select only Contacts and transfer contacts from MobileMe cloud to the Mac, and click Replace.
11) In a few minutes, all contacts and groups from MobileMe should show up in the Mac Address book and you are done.

Yes I did select merge.
Did it 2 times without anything happening on iPhone or MobileMe.
Third time it deleted my contacts on the iPhone.
Is there no option to tell it which direction to do the merge/sync?

When I share photos with Facebook, multiple photos are posted even though I only check off a few. How can I stop this?

When I share photos to Facebook, multiple photos that I didn't choose are posted. How can I prevent this?

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

Why can't my Apple iPhone 5s sync with Facebook?

My friends and I have checked our phone settings both on Facebook and I phone settings and they are all set the same, yet my phone is the only one that will not sync with Facebook. I cannot play Candy Crush with my friends and it's very frustrating. I have followed the instructions given on the Candy Crush website to fix the problem but none of it works. I wind up losing all progress I've made and have to start the game over. I've lost all my progress and have had to start over I don't know how many times. I'm about tired of trying. I keep thinking there just HAS to be someone our there who knows how to fix this!! Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Thank you!

Address Book, Exchange Account, Contact Photos with iPhone and EntourageEWS

In SL Address Book I cannot assign a picture to a contact in my Exchange AB. For my local AB this still works fine. Bug or by design?
With my iPhone I can assign pictures to my Exchange contacts and this pictures will also displayed in Address Book and Entourage 2008 EWS.
If I assign a picture in Entourage EWS it will show up in Address Book, but NOT on the iPhone.
Any Ideas?

So in regards to this issue, what's the best way of getting photos assigned to contacts when using an Exchange server. I have a bunch of contacts stored locally on my Mac address book which I had since copied over into the Exchange server. You state I can only assign photos from within the iPhone. So what's the best way to get a photo on the Mac to the iPhone. Do I get photos into the iPhoto, sync my iPhone with my Mac, and then go to the iPhone and manually add the photos to contacts one a time? Is there a faster/better way?

App will not allow me to share photos with facebook? How do i fix this? It has always worked before until facebook did their update

Everytime I go to share, it acts like it's going to facebook then goes right back to the selected/choose page. Please help. Have already deleted app and reinstalled. Still not working!!

Some other users here have had to delete the new Facebook.app from their iPhone then log in to Facebook through the iPhoto.app and then reinstall the Facebook.app. It seems that iPhoto and the new Facebook.app are not cooperating.

How do I stop iOS8 sharing Contact info with Facebook?

Every time I make a change in Contacts, my iPhone tries to send the information to Facebook. Also, my personal (Me) information in Contacts has little blue Facebook linking tags throughout. Here's the thing - I never specifically set this up and I don't want it. It is a breach of my privacy. But for the life of me, I can't find how to disable this function anywhere within Settings nor within the Facebook App.
Please, can someone tell me how to disable this functionality?

@Don Kirk
Try the steps below to help you out with your issue:
Removing Facebook Contacts from iPhone
One of the easiest ways to remove or hide the Facebook contacts from appearing in your Contacts is to turn off a switch you’ll find in Facebook settings. To do this:
Open the Settings app
Tap on Facebook
Under “Allow These Apps to User Your Account”, turn off the switch for Contacts
Go back to your Phone app → Contacts and refresh the contacts list. All those Facebook contacts should be gone now.
Hide Facebook Contacts From Showing Up (Groups)
So we come to the next method which is usually considered a step backward because of its implementation in iOS 7 (more on that later).
You have these Groups that you can create and manage. Controlling the groups (and their visibility on the Contacts app) was very easy with iOS 6. With iOS 7, it gets a couple of steps extra.
Open the Phone app and tap on contacts
Now, tap on “Groups” link on the top-right
Do you see a “Facebook Contacts” group. You have to turn this off. (Uncheck)
Tap on Hide All Contacts first. Then tap on all other groups that you want to see. Don’t tap on the Facebook group. That’s it. (In iOS 6, tapping used to toggle check/uncheck. The implementation is kind of strange in iOS 7).
