Update Photos in Contacts with Facebook

Okay i have a question.... Does anyone know how to get the updated photos that people post on their facebook as profile pictures to update in their contacts???? It's kind of annoying looking at old pictures in my contacts but different pictures on FB... lol... I have asked other Andriod friends and no one seems to know... Please help if you can.. Thanks soooooo much in advance.

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.

  • How do I sync individual contacts with Facebook?

    On iOs6, on the iPhone 5, how does one sync individual contacts with Facebook? I don't wish to use the sync all contacts feature, as it adds thousands of Facebook friends to my contact list. I simply wish to connect the contacts already in my address book.

    I realize this is really old, but on the off chance of you never having found a way, I figured I'd pop in with something actually useful unlike this Raz fella.
    I couldn't figure out a way to do it without connecting to facebook at all, but here is what I did:
    1. Connect to facebook.
    2. Update contacts.
    3. Click groups and uncheck facebook contacts.
    Now contacts which are only on the phone because of facebook will not show up, and yet the others will have been connected.
    If a specific person does not connect properly to facebook, add their FACEBOOK EMAIL (found in their about section) to the email section of contacts and again go to the facebook settings and click update contacts. This should connect that person.

  • How can I sync *CURRENT* contacts with Facebook?

    I searched the discussions and found numerous questions asking how to sync Facebook's contacts with Address Book but those results just put all of Facebook's contacts in your Address Book.  I would like to sync the my current addressbook with Facebook and import user pictures, email addresses, etc.
    I'm an iPhone user all of 24 hours but this is done pretty seemlessly on Android phones.
    Is there a way of selecting just current contacts to be synced with Facebook?
    I'm using an iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.3
    Thank you.

    I have found that syncing my contacts then un-syncing them results in my current contacts retaining all the info and picture from Facebook.  I just don't have the Facebook updates, which I'm happier about anyway.

  • Syncing contacts with Facebook and contact visualization in dialer

    Hi, 
    I have spent a lot of time trying to sync and consolidate my contacts from Google and Facebook. I did have a couple of issues however and I am looking for advise. 
    1) Contact photo from Facebook are very low res and blurry.
         - Xperia with Facebook account has the both contact & calrendar sync checked, and sync has completed, but no photos are synched.
         - Facebook account has retreived the photo from Facebook, but it is extremely low-res and very blurry.
    2) Is there a way - after linking a google contact to a Facebook one to quickly copy or merge (selected) Facebook contact details (like photo, birthday, phone number, email or address) into the Google contact.
    3) Once I select a phone number as primary is there a way to see in the dialer (using T9 search) only the default phone number. Currenlty I may see a mobile phone from Facebook, another mobile phone from Google, and maybe a couple of other phones, and everytime I search for this contact directly in the dialer I need to remember and choose which number to dial.
    So far the only resolution seems to be to switch back to exDialer, which would be a shame since this is my only complaint from the Xperia dialer.
    4) Is there a way to backup the link between the google and facebook contacts? Is there a way to backup which phone number, email or address is default? Both of these are not preserved in google contacts, so everytime I reset or change phones I need to start all over.
    I am looking for your advice and best practices and thank you in advance!!

    OK, so after spending some time for research here are my findings:
    1) Synching contact pics from Facebook to Android contacts: Facebook and Xperia with Facebook accounts do not work. As a workaround I have used Contacts+ application from the Google Play store, it works as expected.
    2) Merging Facebook contact info (pic, phone number, email, birthday) to google contacts - have not found a way to automate or, best, semi-automate this just yet. Easiest manual option - view a contact, long press the phone/email/birthday, then edit the contact and paste. Will not work for the contact pic though.
    3) Show a single record for the contact in the dialer and remember the default phone - Xperia dialer cannot do this, Contacts+ and exDialer can be used as a replacement though.
    4) Backup the Google to Facebook link  &  the default selection for phone number, email, address in case of a hard reset or transfer between phones - no complete solution found yet, need to review more contact backup apps. At least one can edit the names of the google contacts so that they are spelled as in Facebook to make a future matches quick & more fluent.

  • Is Droid Maxx able to sync Contacts with Facebook

    My old Droid used to sync the photos from FB with my contacts, but I have yet to find a way to make my new replacement phone (Droid Maxx) do that.  Is it no longer posible or am I missing something?

    Welcome.  I had to use that on my GNEX and Razr Maxx from Ice Cream Sandwich through JellyBean.

  • I cannot open i photo since sharing with facebook.   why is this?

    What do I have to do to open i photo on my computer?  I can acces my photos with facebook or to email, but cannot go into i photo to edit or viw specific albums etc.

  • I have problems synchronizing my iPhone 5 contacts with Facebook and Gmail. What is the way to do it?

    When I synchronize my iPhone 5 with Facebook and Gmail, contacts changes. How should I do that synchronization?

    Google contact sync is set up through Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > and inside that setting somehwere is something that says Contacts. Make sure that switch is ON. Same for Facebook. In settings > Facebook is an item that says Contacts. Make sure it is ON.

  • I recently used itunes to update my iphone contacts with my outlook contacts, it seems to have wiped out information  from my iphone- can i reset

    I synced my iphone contacts with my MS Outlook contacts through itunes.  The information that came over from outlook over wrote any informatiuon that was in my iphone contacts.  For example, I had my wife in my iphone contacts listed with her 3 contact phone number.  I had her listed in my outlook contacts with only her email.  after the sync she was listed in my iphone contacts with only her email address and no phone numbers.  Right now I have too much information from in my iphone contacts from the MS Outlook  How can I go back to my setting prior to this last sync.  I need to purge alot of the information that carried over.

    No, I'm sorry.  If you're seeing that Connect to iTunes screen that means the phone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored.
    If you can't borrow a friend's computer, you can go to the Apple Store and they will restore it for you.

  • Photo upload issue with Facebook

    Am having a problem uploading photos to FaceBook via Lightroom's publish interface. It shows as authorized (which was a problem in itself for a while), but I get a generic "Photo Upload Failed" error from LR4. In addition, JPEGs exported from LR4 will not upload via FaceBook's own interface. This is all new since upgrading to LR4. Windows 7. While it looks like a FaceBook issue, it started with LR4 installation and no one else seems to be having a problem uploading images to FB via Lightroom or otherwise.

    Day 3 of this issue and still no repsonse from Blackberry. I guess we found out who Blackberry really cares about. March 2013 - you will be losing me as a Blackberry user.

  • Updating photo management strategy with add'l laptop?

    Hello -
    I have added a new MacBook Air to a set of computers - old MacBook, older iMac.  The iMac hard drive bit the dust earlier this year so it has a brand new 750 GB hard drive with Mavericks installed.  That's the background to wanting to updating my photo management / storage strategy now that I have an additional computer.
    I keep my iPhoto library on an external drive connected to my desktop (the iMac) and have since the beginning - that baby is about 350 GB and isn't updated b/c now I've had photos on the Macbook and don't want to get into the same habit with the new MB Air.  I take a lot of photos, decent amount of video but it's all personal, not my profession.  My camera shoots with 10 - 15 MB size per photo though, so it adds up.  I use SmugMug to share my photos (and online backup strategy) - the process on a good day is to pull the photos off my camera, do any editing, upload the ones I want to share to Smugmug, then save/store the originals.
    I'd like to consolidate now that I've got a new computer in the mix - and storage drives keep keep getting bigger and less expensive. ;-)
    My current thinking is to get a NEW big external storage drive and set it up to be ONLY a repository for photos and video.  I'd likely use that storage drive with a main iPhoto library (or whatever software I use) on the desktop, especially since it's now on an updated OS.
    What I'm debating is whether I should go with the larger storage of a desktop storage drive - or go with the portable with the largest storage capability just in case I *ever* want to take it and use it with the laptop (now or in the future)?
    Does that seem like a sound strategy?  Thoughts?  Thanks!
    P.S.  A good thing to add is that the iMac has only Firewire 800 available, unfortunately (and USB obviously).  The MacBook Air has thunderbolt.  If I use a Thunderbolt storage drive on the iMac it would need a converter (which I think will slow it down - but is that slower than the usual Firewire 800 speeds?)  If I use a Firewire 800 storage drive with the iMac, I'd need a converter if I went to use it with the Macbook Air - not ideal, but not going to happen very often. 

    1. You need two drives: one to hold the Photos and one to be a back up for that.
    2.
    What I'm debating is whether I should go with the larger storage of a desktop storage drive - or go with the portable with the largest storage capability just in case I *ever* want to take it and use it with the laptop (now or in the future)?
    Well, as you need both, I'd get one of each, and keep the portable outside the house - even in your car.
    SmugMug is excellent as off-site storage (as is Flickr) for your photos. But if whatever you choose to manage your apps has a library of any form, then you need to also back that up. And everything pretty much uses a Library - Picas, iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom etc  - of some form or other.
    The thunderbolt to Firewire adaptor will not make an appreciable difference in performance. But frankly, I'd go for USB, I'm not sure of the long term prospects for Firewire.

  • Cannot view photos to select photos(for sharing with Facebook)...after upgrading to Lion

    So your on Facebook and you want to change your photo or just share a photo; well in Lion that is not happening (or any other sharing site). When I am in the box from Facebook where it is asking to select photo...I click pictures...then I am offered iPhoto Library. If I click it then (ofcorse Safari stalls or crashes) because it is trying to open up the entire App iPhoto. Before the Lion upgrade I clicked photos and scrolled to the iPhoto file and it presented me with a ist and I chose the photo I wanted.
    Need some help here...

    When in an upload window use the media browser - look in the lower left under Media ==> photos ==> iPhoto - you do not go directly into the iPhoto library

    Hello,
    In this case i would recommend wiping the BlackBerry smartphone. To do this we would need to back up the BlackBerry smartphone. Please open the BlackBerry Desktop Manager and connect your BlackBerry smartphone. Click on the Backup and Restore button and select Back Up. Please note the location where the backup is being saved as we will need to access it later to restore the BlackBerry smartphone.
    Once backed up please follow the link below to perform a security wipe of your BlackBerry smartphone.
    Link: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB14058
    Test the BlackBerry smartphone and proceed with a selective restore as outlined below.

  • Sync Gmail contacts with Facebook

    All of my contacts are on my Gmail account and are synced to my iPhone and I've also synced Facebook to contacts. If I open any contact now they have a 'Facebook line' so it's clear that the sync has worked, but only a few contacts have also synced the Facebook profile picture! As it's linked ALL of my contacts to the relevant Facebook profile, why aren't they all now displaying the profile pictures?

    I believe it will auto link if the name is identical (first and last)
