I have some issues placing a figure where i want. I want the picture to be inline with my name. Any way in can place the figure in line with the text, on the left side. I have tried floating it, {wrapfigure], doesnt work.

Putting the image into a figure environment means that it is allowed to float around; it will be placed wherever TeX thinks it fits. But you want to have it in a fixed place.

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\hspace*{\fill}{\Huge\bfseries\sffamily Example Image}\hfill
\makebox[0cm][r]{\includegraphics[height=2cm]{example-image}}%
\bigskip

\section*{Personal Data}
\end{document}

Putting the image into \makebox[0cm][r]{...} removes its width, so it does not influence the centering of the headline. Moreover, r places it flush with the right border.

To center the headline vertically with the image, you can lower the image w.r.t. to the baseline using \raisebox.

\makebox[0cm][r]{\raisebox{-4ex}{\includegraphics[height=2cm]{example-image}}}%

[Tex/LaTex] Force figure placement in text

The short answer: use the “float” package and then the [H] option for your figure.

\usepackage{float}

...

\begin{figure}[H]
\centering
\includegraphics{slike/visina8}
\caption{Write some caption here}\label{visina8}
\end{figure}

The longer answer: The default behaviour of figures is to float, so that LaTeX can find the best way to arrange them in your document and make it look better. If you have a look, this is how books are often typeset. So, usually the best thing to do is just to let LaTeX do its work and don't try to force the placement of figures at specific locations. This also means that you should avoid using phrases such as “in the following figure:”, which requires the figure to be set a specific location, and use “in Figure~\ref{..}“ instead, taking advantage of LaTeX's cross-references.

If for some reason you really want some particular figure to be placed “HERE”, and not where LaTeX wants to put it, then use the [H] option of the “float” package which basically turns the floating figure into a regular non-float.

Also note that, if you don't want to add a caption to your figure, then you don't need to use the figure environment at all! You can use the \includegraphics command anywhere in your document to insert an image.

[Tex/LaTex] picture in enumerate item with floating text

I don't have the picins package so can't see what you're trying to achieve but, omitting that and protecting the wrapfigure with its wrapping text inside a minipage:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage[ngerman,english]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}
\blindtext

\begin{enumerate}
\item\blindtext
\begin{minipage}[t]{11.3cm}
\item
\begin{wrapfigure}{r}{5.8cm}
\rule{5.8cm}{3.2cm}
\end{wrapfigure}
\blindtext
\end{minipage}
\item\blindtext
\end{enumerate}

\blindtext
\end{document}

I'd be interested to know if that's anything like what you wanted and, perhaps from others, whether there is a better way (given a few more minutes I'd at least want to replace the hard size in the minipage definition with one based on settings from the page settings).
