I am making my CV using class moderncv. But each time that I try to compile, there is only a small black square (size depending on the thickness of the photo's border) instead of my photo.

The photo is put in the right file and I've tried with and without the extension. But it still doesn't work. I've also noticed that the phone and address logos don't appear.

I thought this was because of the way I'm compiling: I'm using TeXnicCenter and always choose the LateX>PS>PDF compilation, but when I'm trying the Latex>PDF or LateX>DVI>PDF compilations, the PDF doesn't appear at all.

I've tried to compile with TeXmaker too, but I have the same problems.

Here is my code. Everything else is working, it's really just a problem with the photo and symbols for address and phone:

 setlength{hintscolumnwidth}{3cm} 



 usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}

As I said, it worked fine for me:

photo[70pt][0.5pt]{images/rabbit.jpg}  

You did not show us the complete error message(s) you surely got, but an very interesting hint for your issue is your following text:

The photo is put in the right file and I've tried with and without the
extension. But it still doesn't work. I've also noticed that the phone
and address logos don't appear.

In 2015 there was a changing of class moderncv to version 2.0.0 and -- depending on the used style -- the usage of font fontawesome for phone and address logos and some more or the usage of marvosym.

You did not tell us which version of class moderncv you used, but for me it seems in your case there is a mix of old version (for example familyname is old syntax) and problems in using font fontawesome. Today fontawesome can be used with pdflatex too, but in the first time of usage it could only be used with lualatex or xelatex.

At last you had a mix of reasons not getting the symbols and image.

Today, using an complete installed MiKTeX (includes running fontawesome and the current version 2.0.0 of class moderncv) the following mwe compiles without errors for both compiling pathes LaTeX->DVI-PDF and LaTeX-PDF in TeXnicCenter (please see that I used image example-image-10x16 from package mwe; if you test with your image and still get an error message you have a problem with your image!):

and its result:

Today I suggest you use the compiling engine pdflatex to get directly an pdf -- then you can use an image file *.png or *.jpg for your photo.

With compiling engine pdftex to get an DVI/PS file you need to use a file *.eps for your image.
