Why don't the pictures for my contacts show up in mail?

So I was tweaking my mail settings a bit and noticed I could set the application (using my iMac mail here), to display the pictures of senders.  It does this for a few of the emails but only a few.  I have gone into my contacts (address book) and verified that a particular sender does indeed have a picture associated with them in the address book.  But for some reason it will NOT display said picture next to their email in the preview payne.  I would like to see the pictures as it would help me to more easlily notice when a particular email comes in. 
Again it works for a very few emails.  I have alos verified that the email adress for the sender is tied to their card in the address book.  Another possibly important fact, most of the pictures are being pulled from peoples facebook pics as I have address book set to sync those two.  I dont believe that is the cause of the problem as one of the few that actually IS showing a picture has a picture from the senders FB profile pic.
Any ideas?

Connect your iPhone to you computer with the iPhone's USB connector. If iTunes doesn't sutomatically launch, open iTunes.
In the left hand column of the iTunes window, under Devices, your iphone should be listed.  Click on it, and a Summary Window on about your iPhone will appear. 
Just below the Apple at the top center of the iTunes window you'll see "Summary, Info, Apps, Tones, Music, Movies, TV Shows, Photos".  Click on Info.  You'll see options to check like Sync Contacts, Calendars, Mail, Other, and Advanced.  Check the options you want to sync.  Do the same for Tones, Music, Movies, TV Shows, and Photos. 
Then Click on the Summary button.  Under the Backup heading, make sure Backup to iCloud is checked.  Then you might have to click the Sync button in the bottom right corner of the iTunes Window (not sure about this last one).
Good luck.

  • Which folder stores the pictures for my contacts?

    Which folder stores the pictures for my contacts?

    Hello trent1953,
         Congrats on getting the Droid Maxx! It's an awesome smartphone with so many features that you are sure to love. Transferring pictures from contacts are a piece of cake! May I ask do you have the Facebook app installed on the device? If not then I would suggest doing this first. After you have done so then log in so you can sync your Facebook contacts with your regular contacts. This way, the profile pictures will migrate with your Facebook contacts. Once done, please update us just in case more assistance is needed.
    Thank you...

    Events are organised strictly on date and time, as read by iPhoto from the Exif data in the Photo. You cannot manually sort.
    Create Albums. You can do much more organising with Albums, use Photos from different events, place them as you will. Best of all, Albums use no disk space at all. They simply reference the file on the Hard Disk. So a pic can be 1, 10 or 100 Albums with no wasted disk space whatever.

  • Why don't the notes inside each contact sync from my Outlook on my laptop to my iphone

    Why don't the notes I create inside an indiviual contact sync with my iphone?

    I'm not certain why they are not syncing. It can be addressed in a couple of different ways. You could reset the sync history and see if that helps. There is a way to add a note to a contact in the iPhone by going to edit for a contact and then scroll to the bottom and select "add field" and select note. If you already have a note added, it should appear below the contact's information and above the buttons for text message, Facetime, etc.

  • I have Adobe Reader X on Windows Vista. Why doesn't the Printer for Adobe PDF show up in my Hardware/printers? Or can I add it to the Hardware/Printers?

    I have Adobe Reader X in Windows Vista. Why doesn't the Adobe PDF show up as a printer in my Hardware/Printers? Or can I add it to the Hardware/Printers? And how?

    Adobe Reader - FREE - reads PDF files, prints them, fills forms.
    Adobe Acrobat - $$ - as Reader, and makes PDFs and edits them, sorta, and does a bunch more.
    So if you had Acrobat try and find the license to avoid having to pay again...

  • Why don't the speakers for my iPod 5 work?

    Since before the last update, my speakers stopped working. I can only listen to music when I have the headphones plugged in. When they are not plugged in it doesn't say they are, there's just no sound. Help me please!!!

    Hey Kennnia, Most often it is a stuck switch inside the headphone port. Try this, quickly plug / unplug the headphone jack about 12 times to free the switch. If that does not work, try resetting, Press and hold the power and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears, about 10 seconds+/-, then release both buttons. If still no joy, Go into Settings>General>Reset and tap Reset All Settings. If still no joy, connect with your computer, make backups, then Restore from Backup, with iTunes. If still no joy, last resort, Restore to New with iTunes. If after a full restore it still does not work, you may have a hardware issue, contact Apple at your store or through the Genius Bar, set up an appointment and have your iPod evaluated. Good luck. Cheers.

    One thing the iPad lacks is a file manager. There is no file explorer native on the iPad. If you started adding plugin cards, then you add the need for that.  And, in PC's, most viruses spread via the file explorer (the definition of a virus is a malicious program that propagates itself across multiple programs)
    There are a few drives out there for iDevices. Such as the WiDrive and others.

  • My profile pictures for my contacts somehow got switched on my iphone 4.  I back it up to icloud and the correct pictures are on icloud. How can I fix?

    My profile pictures for my contacts somehow got switched on my iphone 4.  The pictures are correct on icloud where I sync.  Does anyone know what the problem is and how I can fix?

    Try resetting your iPhone.  Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
    On a separate point, you may wish to consider updating your iPhone if you're still on iOS 5.0.1 as your post says.

  • Why does 'User not registered for online use' show up when I try to import a cd into itunes. None of the cd info shows up either

    Why does 'User not registered for online use' show up when I try to import a cd into itunes? None of the cd info shows up either.

    Well, the format I upload from the camera is "video clip" or "video for Windows"...sometimes I've converted them to avi format, too. But as I said, it never even lets me get that far...I never get to even select a clip. As soon as I tell the program to "import/clip" it freezes up before I can even go to the folder that the clips are in. It has only begun to do this recently, and I'd never had any problems like this before. Last night I tried it again, and I clicked "open composition", and it froze when I did that too.
    I'm not sure how much more specific I can be about the details of the clips, since I'm positive it has nothing to do with the clips themselves...I'm running Windows XP, though...Home Edition Service Pack 2, Pentium 4 CPU 2.80GHz, with 504 MB of RAM. I have had the automatic updates turned on since I did my last reformat a couple of weeks ago. Could it have something to do with some kind of an update it may have done?

  • Unplanned automatic failover using Hyper-v Replica , why don't the VMs start up automatically on the replica server?

    Hi,
    We have cluster with two hosts (Host01 , host02) replicated to another server (Replica01)
    in order to test automatic failover to the replica server  (Replica01) We unplugged the power cables from Host01 and Host 02 
    now the VMs on the replica server is still off  , why don't the VMs start up  automatically on the replica server?
    Ramy Shaker

    overall there is no automatic failover in Hyper-V
    Of course there is. It's enabled by Failover Clustering. This is a totally separate technology from Hyper-V Replica.
    There is no automatic start up in Hyper-V Replica because it is not designed to detect a split-brain condition where the same virtual machine is running in multiple locations simultaneously. The replica site has no way to know why it can't reach the primary
    system anymore. It might just be because someone unplugged a network cable. If the primary's virtual machines are still running and the replica decides to spin up its copies, you will have many troubles.

  • Why don't the photos load properly

    When i scroll through my photos in my library (in loop mode) why don't the photos load properly and the photos still blurred?

    LR may not have rendered the necessary previews yet.
    Did you render only minimal previews in your import settings?
    How big have you specified your standard previews in your preferences? It should match the screen you are mostly using for image viewing.
    Then you can invoke the command to let LR render standard previews from the Library. LR will first scan how many previews it already has, then actually create the missing ones.

  • Why don't the Adobe Acrobat 10.1.6 and Adobe Reader 9.5.4 patches update the version on the exe file

    Why don't the Adobe Acrobat 10.1.6 and Adobe Reader 9.5.4 patches update the version on the exe file ? My vulnerability reports show these installations are not patched when they really are.

    Hi All,
    I also facing the same issue with Adobe reader 9.5.4 version update.
    Previous Version installed: 9.5.3
    AcroRd32.exe - File Version 9.5.3.305
    AcroRd32.dll - File version 9.5.3.305
    After update installation to 9.5.4, add or remove program shows latest version but exe and dll is not updated. Vulnerability assessment tools based on file version check identifies patch is still missing. Becomes a HEAD ACHE.
    Adobe Reader 9 > Help > About Adobe Reader 9 - First shows version 9.5.4, if your click on it instead of showing AGM version next it shows version 9.5.3.305.
    I tested for all previous versions of 9x, works fine in each update. Seems like patch is missing codes for updating file versions.
    Waiting for an acknowledgement.

  • Why don't the parental controls on the mac pro work?   I have the settings correct.

    Why don't the parental controls work on the mac pro?

    I am set as the administrator able to make changes and one day my daughter was set as the administrator.  I did not make the change.
    How old is your daughter?
    Is it possible she has seen you type your password, and given herself admin rights? Or used your user_id when you stepped away from the computer?
    If so, you will need to do one or more of:
    a) change your password. This leaves you open to having her watch and take the new password. You can also "require password after nnn minutes of screensaver" in System Preferences > Security
    b) add a new Admin with a new password. use it ONLY for Administration. Log in to it and demote your own Account to a non-Admin. Then go back to your own account, which cannot be used to add privileges. When you want to install something, you will type the Admin username and password.
    c) have a deeply serious discussion about building TRUST and giving her increasing responsibilities toward becoming a free-standing responsible adult.

  • Why don't songs that I have purchased show under the "Purchased" section in the I-tunes Store? I have purchased a large quantity

    Why don't songs that I have purchased show under the "Purchased" section in the I-tunes Store? I have purchased a large quantity & it only shows 2.

    1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
    2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.
