Updating Facebook Contacts in System Settings crashes.

Twitter and LinkedIn update fine, but Facebook just hangs when I click "Update Profile Photos..." from "Internet Accounts" in System Settings.
The only clue is this output from Console but I have no idea what it means. (This is just the first few lines, not the entire output.)

Likewise, with the same call stack. Running OS X 10.9.4 here. I can't begin to guess what the problem is without seeing the source code, but it looks like FacebookContactUpdater (a system process that talks to Facebook and updates the address book) is passing nil to a method on ABAddressBook that's documented as throwing an exception (and thus crashing the app) when nil is passed. Gross. The question is, is there a workaround, or are we stuck waiting for a fix from Apple?

Mail App and Mail, Contacts and Calendar Settings Crashing

After upgrading to 2.1 on 3G...
I posted a response to a post for Mail settings problem here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1708101&tstart=0 but noticed that after restarting my phone now the Mail application crashes and in some cases the Contacts app if open more than 10 seconds.
I've noticed a few posts and possible fixes on the forums like updating the Region but none of those solutions worked for me. I'm hoping an Apple "Genius" would read this and offer a fix!

I'm having a similar issue;
I go into Settings -> Email, contacts, etc.
Then i scroll to almost the very bottom. I see the first two items of "Calendar settings", but if I scroll further settings crash and I'm shoved back to the homescreen. EXTREMELY frustrating since I'm in sweden and the time zone is london I think - all my meetings are pushed 1 hour ahead.
I have an iPhone 3G with the latest 2.1 firmware.

Phone not updating Facebook Contacts

I recently had to get a new Droid 2. I used backup assistance and all my phone numbers are in the new phone but my phone will not update the pictures with Facebook. When I go into my contacts it does not even show a facebook profile linked to the client. I have tried everything. I have deleted the Facebook app and re-installed it several times. I even let the phone sit overnight and it never connected the accounts, it has on those contacts that have a twitter or google+ account. My previous Droid 2 connected to the facebook profile. I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

I am also having the same problem, the contact pictures werent updating with facebook so i deleted the facebook app and tried syncing again and now no facebook contacts will load at all. I followed your instructions and deleted the facebook app, redownloaded it and added facebook back in my accounts. However, I have the droid 2 and there is no option to sync. In the settings there is only an accounts tab and not one that says accounts and sync. Any suggestions?
Seems you have tried multiple troubleshooting steps to resolve the Facebook Contact issue. I would like for you to check one more setting for me. Making sure you have re-added Facebook as a syncing account, check to see what "Display groups" are selected to be displayed in your contact list.
Please let me know your findings.

HOWTO: Fix the system settings crash in KDEmod

This crash is pretty frequent on fresh installations of the KDEmod, and while searching for info on lots of places I found the solution on the chakra forums.
This howto is very short and easy to follow, and I post it on newbie corner forum because I dont know where to post it (the wiki????)
If your KDEmod installation crashes when you open:
1)system settings--> package management
2)shaman--> tools --> settings --> aqpm databases configuration
All you have to do is simple, this problem happens because when you generated the best mirrors for your location using rankmirrors (you did? right?) Rankmirrors appends a comment saying:
# Server list generated by rankmirrors on 2009-09-04
Apparently, even if the word "Server" is commented out, this causes the applications to crash (yes, very weird), so the only thing you have to do is edit the mirrorlist and erase that word, then save and close.
So go ahead, open a terminal and do:
sudo kate /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
NOTE: if you want to do this via a terminal editor, just replace the kate part with "nano" or your favorite text editor.
and change the line
# Server list generated by rankmirrors on 2009-09-04
to
# List generated by rankmirrors on 2009-09-04
Save, close and enjoy

Hope it helped:D

thats why I asked, going to ass this to the wiki then
where on the wiki? its VERY big, and I dont want to mess up anything. Should I just create a new article?
thanks for your reply

Updating Facebook Contact Profile Pictures

Is there anyway to update the facebook contact profile pictures? Is there a button where i can press sync and it syncs them?

At this time the only option to do this is with a third party application. The name of the application is SyncMyPix. Keep in mind all applications are from third party developers and are download at your own risk.

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

How synch all my facebook contacts?

Hello, first sorry for bad english i'm french
1) So, in iOS 6.0.2, in the facebook settings, when I activate contacts integration, why aren't there ALL my facebook contacts integrated in my contact app ? I have about 400 friends in FB and only 115 FB contacts have been integrated.. why ?
2) in Mac OS X 10.8.2, when I activate this same facebook contacts integration in settings, no problems all my FB contacts are integrated. BUT there is another problem ! Many facebook contacts haven't their profile photo added ! and the contact application for mac os x says : "L’opération n’a pas pu s’achever. (CoreDAVErrorDomain erreur 3)." (in french..)
So 2 different problems with my facebook integration can you help me please !
thanks !

i don't think it's privacy settings..
i tryed to disable and again the setting in ios et mac os but never mind better

during a update of apple my iphone 3GS crashed an now the operating system wont load up..ive tried to reset the phone to the factory settings using itunes it took 4 hours and completed but my phone still wont come on..what can i do to fix the problem? please help #

In trying to include what information all that I could I should have specified I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WAS DEFINATELY JAILBROKEN when I took it to the apple store they told me there's no way for them to tell if it was jail broken or not. I'm only going by what ppl have told me COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE PHONE. With that said the only thing I know for sure is that the apple tech at the Genius Bar told me that someone took control of my root menu in February & I've had no control of my phone since. I asked him how to regain control & how he knew his exact words were "oh that is out of our scope of capabilities here at this level & you would need an apple engineer to fix it". I said ok then how do I get an apple eng then? He laughed & said you can't!!!! To which I was furious I came home & called apple requesting to speak w/the fraud dept to file a report they said we don't have a fraud dept!! So after a 45 mn phone call again I left w/no answers.
@TJBUSMC1973-
I DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO SPEND HIRING AN ATTORNEY & Although I appreciate your suggestion I fail to how an attorney would be able to facilitate in any way since there's no suspect. I cannot prove that it's him doing it so I certainly can't pursue legal action w/no proof & no money. :'((
Again I thank you for your advice but I don't think that will help.
I was looking more for a TECHNICAL way to avoid this happening w/a new phone should I buy one or trying to get them out of my phone now! Such as installing some kind of software protection?? Someway to clear out the entire phone (other than factory reset which was done 10 x's w/no success, etc. if this person got in then there HAS TO BE A WAY OF GETTING HIM OUT, right????

I have the iPhone 4S, IOS 7 Version: I am unable to update my contacts via Facebook? I have tried settings facebook. update contacts and it does nothing?

Unable to update my facebook contacts with my iphone 4S IOS 7 version. Have tried setting>facebook> update contacts it does nothing

Same problem here. Just added a friend on Facebook and I'm trying to find a way to make him show up in my contacts list. I tried the "Update Contacts" mentioned above, also logged out of Facebook in the settings and logged back in and tried to update again and he's still not turning up.
While looking into this I also noticed a bunch of contacts who don't have duplicates and whose info seems only to be coming from my Google account although I'm friends with them on Facebook and I'd like to have both sets of info available in one place.
So something with the syncing is not working right.
(Also working with 4S & iOS 7)
Edit - ended up in this thread through a search and only just now noticed it's probably in the wrong place in "iPhone Hardware". Anyway if anyone has any pointers that would be greatly appreciated, if not I'll take this to a more appropriate sub-forum.

I don't want my Facebook Contacts added to my iphone Contacts as a result of this new update. Is there a way to prevent that from happening?

I've been told that when I apply the latest update issued by APPLE, it will add all my Facebook Friends into my Contacts on my iPhone. Is there a way to prevent that from happening?

Unfortunately when upgrading to iOS 6 the setting to add Facebook Contacts to your Contacts app is on by default. But once the upgrade is complete you can go to:
Settings > Facebook > and turn off Contacts.
That will get rid of the Facebook stuff showing up in your Contacts app.
BTW, I also turned off Calendar on my iPhone and iPad so that Facebook events and Friend's birthdays etc. will not show in my Calendar app.

Trying to update iphone & ipad to ios6; error says "software update server cannot be contacted, Check network settings." I'm online and not sure which settings it is refering to..

is this a security firewall? how do I allow the update and keep my system protected at the same time?

Let's try the following document with that one.
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
(If the "Automatically detect settings" checkbox is already checked, try unchecking and rechecking it and clicking OK.)

I can't update my Facebook contacts!

After I backed up my iPod I discovered that some of the Facebook contacts were missing, so I went to the setting, In the Facebook section there is update all contacts I click it and it say 0 contacts updated. So I erased and reseted my iPod and then re-downloaded Facebook, the I did the same thing and it still says 0 contacts updated. Plus because I erased my iPod all contact are gone.

Are you syncing contacts with iCloud? Settings>iCloud>Contacts
Go to Settings>Privacy>FaceBook. Do you have contacts turned on?

Mail, Contacts and Calendars in Settings crashes; Contacts app is blank

First issue - since upgrading my iPad2 to iOS5, the Mail, Contacts and Calendars in Settings crashes. All other options in Settings are fine - only issues is with Mail, Contacts and Calenders crashing.
Second issue - I am using iCloud to sync contacts, calendars, reminders, bookmarks. Everything (except Contacts) sync perfectly between my Mac (home), Win7 PC Outlook (work) and iCloud, but I am unable to see the contact data on the iPad. When I open the Contacts app I get the 2 page layout but it is blank with no data, no buttons, no groups and no formatting. After sitting at this blank view for a few seconds it crashes to the Home screen. I know the contact data is in the iPad as contacts can be found through Message, Mail and through the iPad Search. It has not however synced with any changed data.
I have performed a hard reset numerous times, and restored the iPad. I have manually closed the Contacts and Settings apps through the task bar. I have also attempted to manually sync the contact data via USB with my Mac, but Contacts are still out of sync and crashes on launch.
Any advice or solutions appreciated.

Hi UTNick
Seems like there is a few dramas with syncing through iCloud at the moement - hopefully Apple get this sorted with an update ASAP. Im using Outlook 2010 and didnt have any worries at that end, all the unsynced data and crashing was on the iPad. Good lesson in all this, make sure backups are in place - thanksfully I didnt lose any data either.
I managed to fix my sync problems and crashing Settings. Not sure what the specific solution was but it involved -
Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings
Reset iPad to factory and then restore from back-up
Turned off iCloud
Reset my Apple id password
Backed up all my contacts from Mac Contacts and then reimported them
Synced my iPad through iTunes, syncing the contacts (with the option 'Replace everything on the iPad')
Re-enbaled iCloud sync on the iPad
The Mail, Contacts and Calendars panel in Settings no longer crashes, and all my data is again syncing perfectly across the Win7 Outlook 2010, the Mac Contacts app and the iPad Contacts app.
It felt like a bit of a black-magic solution, and I'm still not sure what the underlying cause of my issues was. Fingers crossed it all hangs together until the next iOS update.
Good luck!

iPad, iOS 6.1.3

Where did you get the device? Is it possible that it has an IT policy on the device blocking Facebook and/or Facebook options? Look in Options >Security Options >General Settings (actual menu paths vary with OS version) and see if there is any reference to IT policy.

hi me kashif Hello people,
I lost all my contacts on my iPhone. Facebook contacts integration is turned off. When I got to know that I have no contacts on my iPhone. I checked my settings and iCloud backup and contacts on iCloud (in settings) were off.
Is there a solution to get all my contacts back? Please help me. I want my contacts back, as soon as possible.
Thank you in advance.

Unless as part of a backup, or stored somewhere else, they are gone.
Your son needs his own Apple ID for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage. He can continue to use yours for iTunes content, but for everything else, he needs his own.
When you did what you did, as far as iCloud knows, this is the same person with multiple devices, and that's they way things are supposed to work: keep everything in sync.
