Deleting login photo/icon?

I created a login photo in the prefs for my account. But it shows up in my email. I would like to delete it and go back to the original shadow figure with the blue background. How can I do that?

The original is here:
"/System/Library/PreferencePanes/Accounts.prefPane/Contents/Resources/networkUse r.tiff"
To get to it, open the System folder and then the Library folder, and the the PreferencePanes folder. Now hold down the control key and click on the Accounts.prefPane and from the contextual menu select "Show Package Contents." Open the Contents folder, then the Resources folder. Double click the networkUser.tiff icon, it will open in Preview. You can now do a Save as... and save it in your home folder, and use it in the Accounts pane.

  • Deleted the photo icon in error

    whilst rearranging the icons on the home page,  inadventally deleted the "PHOTO" icon - query - how to reinstate it.

    You can't delete the Photo icon as its a preinstalled app.  Have you checked to see if it's been moved to another screen or in a folder. Try searching for it also. You could also try a home screen layout settings>general>reset>reset home screen layout.

  • I deleted my Photos icon in pictures?

    I backed up all of my photos to an external hard drive. I then deleted all of my photos on my Mac. I must have deleted the Photo's icon and cannot get iCloud photos up and running. How do I reinstall this? The reason that I did this was that I wanted to initiate iCloud storage without having to upgrade the amount of storage that I needed. I was thinking that I would store all of my photos on backup and then bring only the ones that I wanted back onto Mac to stay under the 20g storage limit.
    I am currently bringing all of the contents from my photos folder from a backup from Time Machine that occurred yesterday. I am hoping that this is all that is needed to be done. Any suggestions?
    P.S. I tried just bringing the "Photos" icon from my HD back up into Pictures on my Mac and that did not work.
    Thanks.

    All, I have apparently resolved this after performing the backup of all of my picture files from my Time Machine backup. The Photos program is currently "repairing."

  • Deleting Photos icon

    Hi, I have deleted Photos icon ...(no comments), anyone knows how to get it back on screen? Thank you!

    You can't delete the photo icon since it is one put there by Apple. Go into Settings > General > Restrictions and see if you have the camera set to disabled. If you haven't enabled restrictions, the icon is most likely hiding on another page.

  • If I delete a backup icon for an old iPhone on my iPad will it delete all the photos saved from that phone in my iCloud??

    If I delete a backup icon for an old iPhone on my iPad will it delete all the photos saved from that phone in my iCloud??

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It won't affect any photos in photo stream but any photos within the back up itself will go.

  • Accidentally deleted the photos app icon from my iPhone 4s.

    I've read the previous threads on this topic but none quite fit the bill. I need to re-install the Photos icon, which has disappeared.
    This happened while I was holding my phone but not paying attention; when I looked again the icons were all shaking. I don't know how the icon disappeared because the factory defaults don't offer a delete option, but the icon definately disappeared at that time.
    The app itself is still there and, because it was running when I deleted the icon, I can currently still access it by double clicking the main button, where app (and icon) is still accessible there at the bottom of the screen. But this is not convenient for general usage, and if I hard close the app from there then I will have no way to open the Photos app.
    I can't re-download the app because it is a factory default app and not available anywhere (and as such shouldnt be deletable!).
    The icon isnt hiding anywhere amongst my subfolders, and I've checked for restrictions but there arent any.
    Restetting the home screen layout to factory defaults presumably means I  will lose all the other app icons I have, and their sub folders etc,  which I dont want to do either.
    I have now backed up my phone and all my photos etc, but if I restore my phone from a previous backup, I will lose the data and messages I've acquired isince then.
    All I want to do is re-install the icon and make sure it links to the photos app that is still installed - surley that can't be so hard?
    All help appreciated.
    I don't have a Mac and run Windows 7 on a Sony VAIO. All versions of iTunes and IoS are up to date.

    PROBLEM SOLVED
    ANSWER The exact same thing happened to me today.  I accidently deleted my Photo app (with over a 1000 photos in it) but I could still access it by pressing the home button twice.  This is because it was with the background running apps (when you press the home button twice it shows all the apps running in the background) but it would not let me drag it to the Home screen. 
    Well so I was anxiously reading this thread at church to see what to do (I did a search for, 'I accidently deleted my Photo app' and how I came across this thread).  Anyway, I searched all my subfolders and everywhere IT WAS NOT IN ANOTHER FOLDER AND THE PHOTO ICON WAS COMPLETELY GONE FROM ANY OF THE DESKTOPS. 
    Anyway, my phone was dying and no way to charge it so it died at church and so I connected it to my car charger in my car when leaving church and after the iphone came on again, there was the Photo App on my desktop! 
    So my advice is to let it completely run out of it's charge then later plug into a charger.  I have the iPhone 4S going on almost 2yrs now and this is the first time this has happened to me!   I was in a hurry getting ready for church and pressed it accidently so I know exactly when it happened (when all the apps have x's and you can delete them ...). 
    I always delete the backgound running apps to save battery power but I thought now I can never delete the Photo background running app or will lose everything!  Hope this works for you all.  I know I can connect it to my desktop and all but try this first - much easier...

  • I still don't totally understand the difference on my iPhone between PhotoStream (with iCloud icon), Photos (the icon) and Albums and Camera Roll (under Photos icon) and and Camera Roll (under Camera icon).  I want to delete photos from my iPhone 4.

    I  don’t  understand the difference on my iPhone between PhotoStream (with iCloud icon), Photos (the icon) and Albums and Camera Roll (under Photos icon) and and Camera Roll (under Camera icon).  They seem to be more or less the same thing, but deleting photos in one place does not delete them elsewhere.
    When I tried to import from my camera to my iMac computer the computer would not recognized 900 of the 920 photos on the camera so I had to (successfully) use the Image Capture application to import them.
    I want to delete photos from my iPhone 4 in order to free up storage (I only have 8GB.)  But in synching I do not want to delete any images from my iPhoto on my computer.
    Is there a way that I can Delete All under Edit in either Photos or Camera on my iPhone and check about 20 ijmages to remain on the iPhone?  I could find no command to Select All and then uncheck the 20 photos I want to keep.
    I have the 8GB iPhone and the iMac with OS 10.9.2 and iPhoto '09 Version 8.1.2.
    Help!

    I have Version 6.1.3 because the clogged storage will not allow me to upload Version 7.1.  Catch 22.  This is basically a storage issue, I believe.  I cannot delete enough stuff on my iPhone to allow me to either back up or upload the new OS 7.  I am unwilling to pay for more storage in iCloud, so I want to delete stuff I don't need.  But I haven't yet figured out how to successfully do that.  I synch my phone and computer.  I want to delete mail on the Mail app and photos and still keep my photos on my computer on iPhoto, but not on my phone.  I seem unable to do that.  Any advice?

  • Deleted photo icon remains behind...?

    So, I delete a photo within iPhoto5 and empty the trash. The photo is gone and all seems fine within iPhoto. However, if I navigate using PSE3 browser, OR the Finder, the JPEG is still in the original location, but, clicking on the empty icon reveals that there is nothing to open. The file size is zero MB, but the icon where the photo was is still there. Why does the icon remain? Anybody know what’s up with that? Thanks.

    Verify and repair your HD with Disk Utility

  • Iphone 5 how do i delete a photo or multiply photos? there is no trash can icon in ios 7

    Where is the trash can to delete photos in ios 7 iphone? Also if you rotate a photo you can only save it to the camera roll why? in ios 6 if you rotated a photo it just saved your edited photo for you as the same photo.

    First go into the moment page for photos (photos at bottom left->collections->moments), FROM THERE ONLY either click on photo and select trash can from bottom right OR hit select on moment page (top right) and select and delete multiple photos at once. ( note, clicking on each moment ex: washington trip, will not enable deleting.
    Good Luck!

  • I deleted a photos from iphoto, later I found them in imoive, how do I move the photos back to iphoto?

    I deleted a photos from iphoto, later I found them in imoive, how do I move the photos back to iphoto?

    Hi Canadian Beaver Tail!
    You may want to try restoring the photo in iPhoto, using the instructions suggested in the following article:
    iPhoto '11: Delete or restore a photo
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2398
    To restore a deleted photo:
    If you haven’t yet emptied the iPhoto Trash, do the following:
    Select Trash in the Source list.
    Select the photo you want to restore.
    Choose Photos > “Restore to Photo Library.”You can also drag the item out of the Trash into an empty part of the Source list.
    If you use Time Machine to back up your computer, you can recover a photo, an Event, a folder, an album, a project (such as a book, card, or calendar), or a slideshow even if you deleted it from the library and emptied it from the Trash.To restore photos, quit iPhoto, open the folder containing your iPhoto library, and then open Time Machine.To open Time Machine, click its icon in the Dock, or click the Time Machine icon in the menu bar and choose Enter Time Machine.For more information on using Time Machine, see the topics in Help Center. In the Finder, choose Help > Help Center, and then search for “Time Machine.”
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

  • I have 2 photo albums on my iPhone that i want to delete. One is called "Photo Library" the other is called "iPhonePics". I cannot delete any of the photos in either album. How do I delete the photos and/or the albums?

    I have 2 photo albums on my iPhone that i want to delete. One is called "Photo Library" the other is called "iPhonePics". I cannot delete any of the photos in either album. How do I delete the photos and/or the albums?

    You can uncheck multiple songs by selecting all the songs you want to uncheck, then right-click and choose "uncheck selection".  Also, make sure that you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos" on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings or the sync process will ignore your selections.
    You can remove all the photos from your camera roll using Preview on your Mac.  Connect your phone to your Mac, open Preview, go to File>Import from iPhone.  When your photos appear in Preview, select the photos you want to delete, then click on the icon at the bottom showing the red circle with the diagonal line through it (see image below), then click Delete.
    To remove photos from the Photo Stream album on your phone you'll have to either reset Photo Stream (deleting all the photos from iCloud) or turn off Photo Stream on your phone.

  • IPhone iOS 8: Tapping on photo icon in messages app causes app to crash

    Issue (?ios 8 bug?): Tapping on photo icon in messages app causes app to crash. Present in ios 8.0, and also still in ios 8.0.2. iPhone 6+ 64GB.
    I just wondered if anyone else has been having this problem.
    Initially it worked great. Tapping the photo button next to the text box in message should bring up a menu with your latest photos and other sharing options. However, after the first couple of days, tapping the button brought up the menu, the phone freezes, and then after a few seconds the photo app crashes.
    Deleting most of my photos restored the function, but after another couple of days (and some more photos) it started happening again so I think perhaps it is related to the number of photos. After about 5-10 photos it loads the menu very slowly and its quite buggy. After 20+ photos it wont load the menu at all without freezing and the app crashing.
    My iphone 6+ was set up as a new phone (not restored from back-up).
    I hope this is some kind of bug that will be fixed in ios 8.0.3, but wondered if anyone else has the same problem or has any solutions?
    My workaround at the moment is just to go the photos app and either copy and paste the photo into a message, or share the photo via the photos app.

    I have this same issue with my 128 gb 6 plus.  I've tried restoring as new on a few occasions, but to no avail.  I did notice while my pc was synchronizing my apps, that the feature worked fine a few times until the synchronization was complete.  I seriously hope that the numbers of photos limits one's use of the feature, because i purchased the 128 gb 6 plus so that i could keep photos at my ready.
    Has anyone heard of a solution yet?
