Can't set profile photo

So I recently got a new skype account after losing my old login details. I decided to upload a pic of myself, and I discovered that this is impossible for some reason. I browse for the pic and click on it, and it just returns me to the screen with the options of "Browse" and "Take a picture." So what do I have to do to upload a pic?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The steps you should follow in order to upload the images:
1.) Open Paint
2.) Click File > Open
3.) Find the image you want to use > Click open
4.) Click File > Save As
5.) Press the drop down box "Save as Type"
6.) Select PNG (*.png)
I've uploaded the picture here for your convience, but for next time you'll know how to do it! This is hopefully just a glitch on Skype, and they'll allow JPG! Just download my attachment to your desktop, and set it as your profile picture like you normally would! Have a great day

Can't set/send photos (iPhone)

For some reason, I can't set/send photos on my phone. It'll tell me the following: "This app does not have access to your photos or videos. You can enable access in Privacy Settings." I've looked at my privacy settings and there's no settings for photos. Help please?

I have had this problem....but...it is now solved. Go to General, then Restrictions. Scroll to Privacy, then scroll down to Photos, I had to click on 'Allow Changes'. This solved my problem not being able to post pictures to Facebook, Instagram etc....

Can you set contact photo from SDK?

Can you set contact photo from SDK?

Now that iOS 5 has come out, all iPad 2's come with iOS 5 pre-installed (unless you find old stock sitting at a retailer somewhere). iOS 5 has a built-in setup assistant for AirPort base stations (such as AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme, and Time Capsule). First you plug in your AirPort Express to power, and plug its Ethernet into your broadband (Cable or DSL or whatever) modem/router's LAN port. Then in iOS 5, you go to Settings > Wi-Fi, and your AirPort Express will show up in a separate list as a base station that has not been set up. Select it there, and iOS will look at your environment and guess how you want it set up. It usually guesses right. If it guesses right for your needs, you hit the button and it sets it up that way. If it guessed wrong, you hit "More Choices" and select an alternative setup method.
After you've done the initial setup that way, if you later decide you want to tweak the settings, you can download the free AirPort Utility for iOS 5, from the App Store.
Kappy made a small mistake when he said you can use the AirPort Utility app for iOS to set up the AirPort Express. You actually have to do the initial setup right form the AirPort Assistant built right into iOS 5 as I described above. The AirPort Utility app for iOS is where you make changes later, not where you do the initial setup. But yes, you can do all of this setup right from the iPad now, as of iOS 5. No Mac or PC required.

How can I set up Photo Stream with OSX 10.7.5 and iPhoto '09?

I am trying to set up Photo Stream and I would like to know what I need to do. I am running OSX 10.7.5 and iPhoto '09. Thanks

You need to have 10.7.5 Lion for the basic iCloud or 10.8 Mountain Lion or 10.9 Mavericks for the full iCloud. While 10.7.5 Lion will allow you to access iCloud you will be limited unless you can upgrade to 10.8 Mountain Lion or 10.9 Mavericks.
This is from Apple Support:
Minimum operating system requirements
You may also use iCloud with the following operating system versions:
Mac
OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later*
Note: Although you can use OS X Lion as noted above, you will not
be able to take advantage of some iCloud features, such as Shared Photo Streams, iCloud Tabs, Find My iPhone Lost Mode, Documents in the Cloud for iWork, and Find My Friends location-based alerts.

Can't set key photo in Events

I have created numerous Events which are labeled and contain pictures, but in the Events window, teachhe group just appears as a black square with the title of the event underneath it in white. When I scroll down the full Events window or move the picture size setting, I can see a key photo for each event, but then when I stop, the black squares (where the picture should show) reappear. So when I click on "i" to set change or set a key photo, there is just a black square - no photo.
When I open the Event group, I do see all the photos in the group. I looked at the Online Help and didn't see this problem addressed.
I'm new to this version of iPhoto, so there must be a setting I have missed.
Thanks for your help.
Thanks.

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

Can't crop profile photo on Facebook app

Can't set web photo as desktop background

Hi everyone,
I've had my pro for 4 years now, and I used to be able to use any web engine (normally I use google chrome and firefox) and click on a photo on the web and have the option to make it my desktop background. For whatever reason, that option is now gone and if I want to make the picture my background I have to download it, save it on my desktop then right click and set that way. Does anyone have any ideas why this might be or if I accidentally clicked a setting that I can revert to?
Thanks all,
Meg

Hi Meg,
I have Safari 7.0.5 on my MacBook Pro and that option is still there if I right-click an image:
I also tried FireFox v30 and a similar option is available in the contextual menu just as in Safari. I don't use Chrome so can't check that one.
If you are using extensions, try turning them off, restarting the browser, and seeing if that function reappears.

Still Can't Change Profile Photo

I have Skype on Mac OSX and I can't add a profile picture. Every time I go to my profile and click on the picture, there is no option to add a picture. I looked on your forum and community and the instructions for how to add a picture on Skype for Mac OSX are wrong. The descriptions of the options and links are all inaccurate and don't describe what I see on my screen. I didn't have this problem on my PC. Please help!

This is a common bug in past versions of Skype, please update your Skype to the latest version.
Go to www.skype.com and download the last version for your Mac.
I love Skype, I just decided to help people.

Can I set up Photo Booth to send through gmail?

I don't use Mac Mail. I always use gmail in a web browser. Is there a way to setup Photo Booth so that when I press the e-mail button, it opens up gmail instead?

No
Photo Booth & Mail are Apple products. Reason why they are entwined. Gmail is a _*3rd party*_ browser based email program.

OS X 10.4.6 Dock Disappeared - Can't Set Desktop

I can't figure this out - My Dock has disappeared (it is not in auto "hide" mode) and I don't know how to bring it back! The Dock preferences has the dock at the "bottom". I've tried switching to right/left to no avail. When I try to minimize a window, that function does not work.
At the same time this happened my "desk top and screen saver" (in system preferences) now crashes. I can't set a photo or background. I just have a blue background now. Everything else is working fine . . . .
What gives? Is there a way to fix this? I'm stumped. If "dock" and "desktop & screen saver" are corrupted in system preferences, is there a way to just re-load or fix this problem? THANKS IN ADVANCE
G5 - dual processor Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Ricoricordo,
Before you begin another post, I have a couple of comments/questions.
Can you correlate the question mark to any missing application?
I would recommend that you drag the question mark off of the dock, and reattempt the plist removal.
Any plist files that you drag to the Desktop can be trashed.
If those steps are not successful, Create another User Account and name it Test User. If the Dock works in that new account, I recommend that you follow the checklist in Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption, by Dr. Smoke.
If you are still having the problem after following that checklist, you can post a new question using the "Post New Topic" link on this page.

Users are unable to see their own profile photo although everyone else can see it in Lync 2013 client

We have Lync 2013, Exchange 2010 and several AD
servers in mixed mode 2003/2008.
All user are unable to see their own profile photo
either in the main Lync window, in the settings or in a chat although other user can see that their photo is there and displaying. The user experiencing the issue can go open Outlook 2013 client and will see their photo displaying correctly in the file menu
(and elsewhere) here.
I have confirmed this happens with any new users I set up as well. We have gone through a fair amount of troubleshooting with other Lync photo issues and simple fixes such as deleting the SIP cache folder etc proves to be ineffective.
Our Cs-ClientPolicy Global is set to websearchonly.
We have "Replicate this attribute to the Global Catalog" set
for the ThumbnailPhoto attribute in AD.
We are also forcing photos from AD only (or no photo) by setting the following:
"Set-CsClientPolicy -Identity PhotosControl -DisplayPhoto
PhotosFromADOnly"
and finally we are importing the photo in ad using this PS command:
"Import-RecipientDataProperty -Identity "Test User"
-Picture -FileData ([Byte[]]$(Get-Content -Path "C:\pictures\testuser.jpg" -Encoding Byte -ReadCount 0))"
The pictures being uploaded are under 10KB in size.
I have followed many threads and will provide any information I can to help find the problem. Thank you in advance.
EDIT: I have also tried the following but with no success: https://knowledge.zomers.eu/misc/Pages/How-to-fix-your-photo-not-showing-up-in-the-Lync-client.aspx

Hi Jdentremont,
Lync client gets user photos by first querying the Address Book Web Query (ABWQ) service on the server, which is exposed through the Distribution List Expansion web service. The client receives
the image file and then copies it to the user's cache to avoid downloading the image each time it needs to be displayed. The attribute values returned from the query are also stored in the cached Address Book Service entry for the user. The Address Book Service
deletes all cached images every 24 hours, which means that it can take up to 24 hours for new user images to be updated in the cache on the server.
To troubleshoot your problem, please follow the steps below:
1. Navigate to
“X:\share\1-WebServices-1\ABfiles\000000000\000000000” folder. (ABS file share)
You should see some photo files in this folder as the following screenshot.
2. Delete all the files in this folder.
3. On test PC, delete local cache files.
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\[email protected]
4. Sign-in Lync with the test account.
5. Go back to the ABS file share, check if there is any Photo file in the folder.
Best regards,
Eric

How can I change my Profile photo or edit the thumbnail?

QuestionHow can I change my Profile photo or edit the thumbnail?
AnswerThere are a couple of different ways to change your profile photo or thumbnail image on Tagged.
Here's a quick How-to video that shows you how to change your profile photo
If you wish to change your profile photo, follow the instructions listed below:
Hover your mouse over 'More' in the top Nav bar and select Photos.
To use one of your previously uploaded photos as your profile photo, place the cursor over the photo you wish to use, and click the small green “#1” box when it appears
If you wish to use a new image as your profile photo, upload the image to your photo gallery, and then click the small green “#1” box on the photo
If you are viewing one of your photos individually, you can also set it as your profile photo by hovering over it and clicking the same green "#1" button. You may also edit the caption and comment on your photo in this view
You can also change your profile photo by doing the following:
On the Navigation bar click Profile and select the Edit Profile link to the left of your Profile picture.
To upload a photo locally from your computer, click the “Browse” button, select the image you wish you use, and then click “Upload”.
To upload a photo using an image URL address, click the “Add from image URL” link, paste the URL address into the field, and click “Add Photo”.
To use a photo from your gallery, click the “Use one of my photos” link to open a thumbnail gallery of your uploaded images. Click on a thumbnail to set that image as your profile photo.
After selecting a photo, you can alter its thumbnail by the marquee box by dragging the “anchor” points of the box. When you are finished, click "Save Thumbnail"

HELP! I was fooling around with my profile pic and selected and saved a cropped thumbnail. I hate it, and I haven't been able to figure out how to return my thumbnail to just a mini-version of my full profile pic. I've even re-up-loaded a copy of the original photo, with a different file name, but Tagged automatically crops it to the same thumbnail. Is there any way to return my thumbnail to just a mini-version of my whole pic? Thanks for your help :~)
