Vertically Distorted Contact Photos

For some reason, mine and my girlfriend's contact photos get vertically distorted on OS X. Our default address book, as it is default on Lion now, is our iCloud address book. Our photos are standard iPhone sized photos. Shouldn't OS X crop instead of distort?

hey ed,
I have been using this feature for quite a while now and I never encountered this problem. So I do not think code is faulty. That leaves with 3 options:
1. either handset has some issue in which case a visit to nearest nokia service center might be a good idea.
2. you might want to upgrade the firmware version if its not already v3.0546.2.3 or above.Mine is v3.0546.2.3.
you can check ur firmware version by typing *#0000#
3. Highly unlikely but if the phone memory is heavily loaded there is a possibility of distortion of image due to increased processing time and the time it needs to stabilise the image is more than the time it takes for u to pick that call. try reducing the memory size.

Distorted Contact Photos

Ok its a relatively minor issue - but it still bugs me.
My contact photos (synced with phone via pc) look fine in the address book, but when I phone someone/they phone me, the photo displayed is heavily distorted.
Anyone have ideas how i can resolve this mildly irritating aspect of my phone?
Cheers
Ed

Background image vertically distorted -appears ok when paused and restarted

using 768 x 576 .jpg images as background for a PAL standard idvd:
- when burned with "PAL"Standard (4:3)" / "professional quality" (movie length is 55 min,)
- & watching on a laptop/a mac g5 / a windows pc
the images appeared vertically distorted
but:
when pausing and restarting the dvd again the image
changes to the desired size
even when i used a quicktime as background movie
the same problem occurs
whereas:
the display on a TV* was fine
(given that a 4:3 ratio was set for a widescreen tv or using a 4:3 ratio TV)
when i did not use any image (burning just the movie)
nothing appeared to be distorted (the movie is not distorted
neither are the no-images-no-backgrounds-at-all menu screens)
Is there any specific colour depth or other technical information
i need to consider to solve this problem?
... I noticed that the colour of the image looks significantly different
on a TV compared to laptop/mac/windows pc
whereas the movie's colour appears to be quite similar
on TV/laptop/mac/windows pc ....

Thank you for trying to help, I really appreciate it.
It does not matter which option you use. As you know, one would want the background image on each page of a site to be the same size and location to provide a seamless transition from page to page. When using the blank template, the page can have an image put in (using fit, fill, stretch, orig) and be contiguous from page to page. However, when using the Photo template, after clicking on an album image to view larger, the background image unexplicably shifts/distorts downward on the page, and stays that way even upon returning to the album.

Contact Photo Size???

So I have a new iPhone (8gb).
Using my Mac Pro to upload everything, contacts, iCal, etc.
So I made a new iPhone group in the address book.
Copied a photo from preview and pasted it in the contact photo box.
Syncs fine.
On the iPhone the little pic is there under each contact.
But when that person calls, it is full screen, or even larger where I can only see the person's eye or nose. And a few times the screen has come distorted where I am unable to read anything. I read that when I make a contact on the mac, the photo is supposed to display only in the corner when they call. But this is not happening for me?
Anyway to fix this?
Is there a max pic size for address book contacts?
Thanks For You Help

The easiest way I've found to add photos to contacts was within the iPhone itself.
First, you'll have to load the photos you want onto your iPhone (make an album in iPhoto of the photos, regular size/unaltered).
Then, on the iPhone, go into your photos. Find a photo you'd like to add to a contact, then click on the little photo frame w/a large swooping arrow in the lower right corner of the photo.
You'll be prompted to use the photo as wallpaper, email it, or, the one you want, "Assign To Contact"
Select that option - you'll be presented w/your contacts list - choose the person you'd like to add a photo to. Then, and this is the key part, you can resize and crop/move the photo (basically, this is a preview of what the contact photo will look like when you get a call from that contact).
Hope that helps.

Outlook Contact Photos

Is anybody having problems when they use "include contacts' photos" from Outlook? My contact's photos sync with my iPod classic, but they are all distorted on the bottom half of the photo (digitized, pixelated, messed-up colors, etc.)
I also use this feature with my iPhone and it works fine. The pictures look great. But with the classic, they are all messed up.

I've got the same problem with my 80GB iPod Classic. The only difference is I'm on a Mac and I'm using Address Book for my contact pictures.

How do I find the original photo that is used in one of my contact photo in "Contacts"?

Hi everyone,
I am in a bit of a dilemma. I desperately need to find and/or access the original photo used as a contacts photo in the OSX built in app "Contacts". I can resize the photo and I can see it in full but I can't find the original anywhere and in any way.
I'd really appreciate some help here, as the photo is dear to my heart but seems to have gone missing. It was originally scanned in but isn't showing up where all my scanned photos are saved. Eek!
If anyone has any pointers on where I could find this photo in its original size, please do share them!
Ta,
posies

Hi DonTimo,
I've tried doing that, but in the said folder there are only default pictures. I can't find the images of any contacts in the app "Contacts" anywhere. The thread you refered me to and many others that are smilar to it, date back to about 2009-2010.
Really need this photo. Any other pointers?

Jabber 9.2, uploading the contact photo from local machine or PC.

is it posssible to upload contact Photo from local machine to jabber from 'edit profile'? I did that but nothing happened! still no contact photo.
Thanks,

Hi Shane,
in previous version of Jabber it was not possible, am I right? But I heard in 9.2.0 onwards we can do it.
I will send you the problem on Monday once I get back to Customer Site.
Thanks,

Cisco Jabber client not displaying Contact Photos

Hi All,
We have configured an external webserver to store our contact photos. But I couldn't get it working on Jabber windows clients. It works for CUPC8.5. I run the wireshark on webserver and can't see any request from Jabber client. xml file is -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<config version="1.0">
<Directory>
<DirectoryServerType>EDI</DirectoryServerType>
<PhotoUriSubsitutionEnabled>true</PhotoUriSubsitutionEnabled>
<PhotoUriSubstitutionToken>sAMAccountName</PhotoUriSubstitutionToken>
<PhotoUriWithToken>http://webserveraddress/people/sAMAccountName.jpg</PhotoUriWithToken>
</Directory>
<CUCM>
<PhoneService_UseCredentialsFrom>presence</PhoneService_UseCredentialsFrom>
</CUCM>
</config>
Can someone please advise what's the issue.

Hey Abhi,
In the PRT, I see the following:
2012-05-28 09:02:16,733 DEBUG [0x00001654] [s\feature-libs\config\src\Config.cpp(74)] [csf.unified.config] [Config::getValue] - result [true] key [PhotoUriWithToken] value [http:///people/adack.jpg]
I understand that you changed the parameter to see if we can even pull a single image for anyone, however, what I see next is:
2012-05-28 09:02:16,733 DEBUG [0x00001654] [rdsource\ADPersonRecordSourceLog.cpp(50)] [csf.person.adsource] [WriteLogMessage] - Configuration::SetConfigurationParameter - setting configuration parameter [PhotoSource] to [adack] //This needs to be AD Parameter which I see you used earlier
2012-05-28 09:02:16,733 DEBUG [0x00001654] [rdsource\ADPersonRecordSourceLog.cpp(50)] [csf.person.adsource] [WriteLogMessage] - Configuration::SetConfigurationParameter - setting configuration parameter [PhotoUriWithToken] to [http://pho/people/adack.jpg]
Do you know where this url is coming from?
I suggest that based on Jason's input and as well as changing the parameter back to the one we want, lets follow this action plan:
1) Exit out of Jabber and delete the files from the following location:
C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Cisco\Unified Communications\Jabber\CSF\Logs
2 ) Modify the Jabber-Config.xml
Change the Directory Section of the Jabber-Config.xml to the following
EDI
True
sAMAccountName
http://sptde.racq.com.au/people/sAMAccountName.jpg
3) Re-login and then Generate the PRT by Help -> Report Error
Keep in mind if the jabber-config.xml is uploaded on Call Manager, it'll replace any local modification, so we have to update the file on Call Manager .
Once we have the new PRT with the Config provided above, I can work on that.
Regards,
Jasmeet

How do I set up mutiple icloud accounts using my Apple ID but giving my children (and their ipod touches) their own icloud e-mail, so we do not share contacts photos etc

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Create an iCloud account for each of them.

My wife and I have shared one iTunes account for 6 years. We want to create our own Apple IDs, so when we sync to our new iMac we won't see each others contacts, photos, calendar, music, etc. Is there a way to move music/apps from one ID to a new ID?

No.
One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
Create separate computer logins for each of you.
This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).

How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

Phone A = phone with information you want duplicated
Phone B = phone that you want to copy from A
Backup Phone A.
Wipe Phone B using these instructions. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Phone B should be on the 'Hello' screen. Do not swipe it. Launch iTunes. Plug in Phone B.
When iTunes asks if you want to set up as new phone or restore from backup, choose restore from backup of Phone A.
After this setup, any changes to one phone (i.e. adding a contact, downloading an app) will have to be manually duplicated on the second phone, if that is your desire). Making changes to one phone will not affect the other after setup.

It was changed in iOS 7. No idea if it was an intentional change or not.
Apple has not stated anything about it.

How do i change my iCloud account on my iPhone? I want to change it to my husbands so all of our information syncs, but will this completely delete my iCloud account? and by doing this how will my phone change (such as contacts, photos etc.) ?

I want to change it to my husbands so all of our information syncs on to my iphone and our ipad, but will this completely delete my iCloud account? and by doing this how will my phone change (such as contacts, photos etc.) ?

Bad idea.
What information do you want to share, exactly? You can share contacts, reminders, and calendars with other iCloud users without the need for both of you to use the same iCloud account. You can authorize both phones to use apps purchased under the same Apple ID without sharing an iCloud account.
Sharing an iCloud account is a bad idea in general. There is too much opportunity for someone to damage or delete data that will affect both.

Can I create a separate icloud account for my husband but still use the same itunes account? I want our contacts, photos and storage capacity to be separate but be able to share music and apps we purchase.

Welcome to the Apple community Pammy.
Yes, that's exactly what I'd suggest for the vast majority of users.
