Contact card in mac messages not showing picture

One of my contacts in Messages on Yosemite just shows the initials instead of their contact picture.
When I click on the name in the right pane in Messages, I can select "Show Contact Card".
The Contact Card also shows the initials in place of the contact image.
In the contact card, I click Open With Contacts.
The Contacts app opens and shows me the user's address book card, which shows the contact has a picture assigned.
The user in Messages is referred to by their email address *****@aol.com.
The email address and phone number for this user do not have duplicate entries in my contacts.
Other users do not have this issue.

The user had more than one instance of the same email. Apparently that confused Messages. When I removed one of them, the image showed just fine as expected.

iCloud, which replaced MobileMe, requires OS X Lion (10.7.5) or higher. You will need to upgrade to OS X Lion higher in order to set up iCloud on your Mac. First check to see if your system meets the system requirements to upgrade.
Lion system requirements are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Mountain Lion and Mavericks requirements are the same, as listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
If you can run Mavericks, you can download a free upgrade from the Mac App Store. If your system can only run Lion, you can go here to purchase a redemption code to download it from the Mac App Store. If you prefer Mountain Lion for software compatibility reasons, you can go here to purchase a redemption code to download it from the Mac App Store.
After upgrading, you will find iCloud in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, and can set it up as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
Before upgrading, you may want to check the compatibility of your existing applications by checking here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table. Also be aware that older PPC programs such as AppleWorks and Office 2004 for Mac will not run on OS X Lion or higher.

Aperture 3 Not Showing Pictures in Edit But Otherwise OK

Hi,
Aperture 3 is not showing pictures in the edit screen. Previews are ok. Moreover, when I zoom in in the edit window, pictures are showing correctly. Also they are shown a second after an adjustment is applied (and, actually, if you hold the slider you can see the picture the whole time). It exports fine.
I've tried:
repairing permissions;
repairing database;
rebuilding database;
creating a new library and importing;
manually repairing the library as per https://discussions.apple.com/message/11700059#11700059
re-installing Aperture;
reparing permissions system-wide.
Nothing helps. I don't have the backup, obviously. System is Macbook Air 1.7 GHz i5, 4Gb.
Could anyone, please, help?
Thanks in advance,
G.

OK first off the procedure you referenced re: manually trying to rebuild a library is a last ditch, library is on fire, crashes the world procedure. It is never to be done as a first wave troubleshooting step and it is never to be done without a complete backup of the library. Hopefully that hasn;t added anything to the problem.
Ok that's out of the way. You should start by removing the filter you have on the browser. It's most likely not causing this but there is no need for it and it's only adding a layer of complexity we don;t need now.
What version of Aperture? If it is 3.2.3 (the latest from yesterday) did this start happening the? If it is not the latest you should upgrade.
Does this happen with all images in the library or only some? What type of images RAW or JPG?
If you create a new empty library and import a few images into it does the problem still happen? What if you make a new user and run Aperture as that user on a new library?
When did the problem start? Was it working OK before with this library?
Finally have you rebooted since this problem started?

My mac will not show images when on the internet?

My mac will not show images when on the internet? I think I have inadvertently changed some settings but nor sure which one.

I am going to assume you are using Safari here. If so then go to the Apple menu bar and hit Safari-> Preferences. Under the Apperance tab there is a check box that is called "Display images when the page opens". Check if that is unticked.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 for Mac does not show up in Applications. Tutorial for editing from iPhoto shows selecting the Adobe software in Applications. Am I missing a step in registering product?

I answered my own question: There's a difference between "download' and "install." Hunt for "install" (1.5 hrs in my case) and line up your passwords, Adobe ID, etc, then install. Took 15 min. The right choice shows up in Applications. Now it's on to figuring out why photo selected for edit in iPhoto does not show up on screen in Elements.

Hi,
If the machine is brand new I don't see why the serial Number is missing (it is entered on to a special chip at the factory)
However if the machine is a return and has been refurbished then the Logic/mother board may have been changed and someone forgot to put the info back to the new board.

TS3276 Does anyone have problems with sent messages not showing in their Mail? I have two sent folders when really I only want one. Any tips?

Does anyone have problems with sent messages not showing in their Mail? I have two sent folders when really I only want one. Any tips?

Not sure if this is a fix, but I tried sending myself a test email from only the Bcc field, and lo and behold it now shows the Bcc field in all sent item previews;
...maybe leaving the 'To' field blank on purpose forced Mail to show it.
Rebooted the Mail program, still there - rebooted the machine, still there. Hope this is still relevant and it works for you too - J.

HT5622 Messages not showing up on my iPad?

Why are the messages not showing up both on my iPad and iPhone ? Please advise

Movies are not eligable for iTunes match, it s just music and music video, the 'add to iClouyd' option is a generic entry in the list, Apple should really have removed it when it applies to movies.

Messages not showing on mac

I have my messages/imessage enabled to sync between all 3 of my devices. All of a sudden messages from one person are not showing on my mac. They still sync between my phone and ipad, but not the mac. They had been there up until the middle of last month. Other messages between other people are still showing and syncing between all 3 devices. I know we are all using iphones and ipads, so why would they stop syncing in one spot with only one person? Can any one help?

HI,
The .bag one holds the Server info that the app should be contacting for the iMessages account.
The .imservice ones holds the details that you entered such as the Apple ID and the "registered" aliases such as the iPhone Number and any other linked email addresses.
Although I have not deleted my iMessages account and cleared the .plist to try and find out at which point in the "registration" process they are created I would have though the Server one would have been created first so that the details you enter are sent to the server.
However it is possible that the account details are "stored" first and then the server is contacted.
There have been other threads (well, one that I recall) about this losing of "Names" and showing only iPhone numbers but it has not been resolved yet (or at least the person has not come back to say one way or the other)
In iChat when there have been issues with details that should be in the Address Book it has been found that the My Card (Head and Shoulder icon) has not been the card for the Mac User account (Not your details).
This has stopped the AIM side in particular from Logging in (the AIM one tends to be loaded first so any issue shows this) as the missing details are needed to fill in the header bar of any Buddy list (where it shows your name or "handle").
In this case I am not expecting the issue to be tied to the Contacts app but it would be worth ruling it out.
The next palce to check is the View Menu > Buddy Names when the main Messages Window is "Front" (the interface and chat window).
This menu item offers ways to display the Names of your Buddies (normally) from AIM and Jabber lists as it is a setting that have been present for a long time in iChat.
The "Handle" option would normally be the AIM Screen Name or Jabber ID but it also effects the iMessages connections and displays the Apple IDs and numbers.
It is used in conjunction with the View Menu > Messages > Show Pictures and Names
However from your phraseology in your first post I believe you are seeing phone numbers only when you start a New Message and use the Blue icon to see the Contacts List ?
The Show Handles option does not effect the Contacts Drop down only the Buddies one.
DO you have problems with Mail in auto-completing Address when Sending ?
Or do you have problems when displaying Names from people you have in the Contacts list ?
For example my Mail shows one of my email associated with an Address Card for one of my other computers (it helps with Bonjour in iChat and Messages)
I am suggesting that the Mail app might also be displaying numbers only.

Face Time for mac does not show contacts window or allow me to sign in

My Facetime for Mac launches but does not show me my Contacts sidebar or allow me to 'Sign In'. Preferences is grayed out as well.
It works under a new user account (System Preferences > Accounts). I added a contact into the blank address book to test it out. I'm troubleshooting it right now to get it to work under my account, I think it has something to do with not fully accessing the keychain.
The tell-tell sign for me is when I launch FaceTime for Mac the preview window does not show immediately. I have to click on the app a second time for the window to appear. This does not happen under the new account
I have already:
- Restarted
- Removed preferences and Caches
- Re-installed Face Time
- Repaired and reset keychains
- Signed in under a different MobileMe account in System Preferences
Any other suggestions

SOLVED !!
After many, many more steps and close to total ruin of my MobileMe sync structure, I have the found the hidden files to remove that solved my problem.
~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist
~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist temp
~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist .6Va7JFn [+these letters may be than different yours+]
Logged out, then back in again
When I launched Facetime it worked exactly as it does on my test user account.
here are the terminal commands to try for your solution
cd ~/Library/Preferences/
ls -A [+To get the letters for the third file+]
rm ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist
rm ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist\ temp
rm ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist\ .[+your letters+]
Please Post any problems you run into or if it doesn't work.

Contacts on my iPhone do not show up on my mac

I can't seem to sync the contacts on my iPhone 5s to the contacts on my mac. I add more contacts on my iPhone than I do while sitting at my desk (mac). I have lots of contacts that will not show up on my mac - but some do. I don't know why, it seems to be hit or miss. I could add them manually, but I shouldn't have to do this. I am using iCloud, it is turned on all devices. Everything is under one account. Any ideas what might be happening?
