How can I change my profile picture to a photo from iPhoto?

I want to change my profile picture on my Macbook Pro, but the only pictures that are letting me choose from, are the default pictures, I can't even see my photos from iPhoto as an option. Please help!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
In OS X Lion and Mountain Lion, the option to change the profile picture changed, making difficult the process to select a iPhoto library photo as the account picture.
First, open System Preferences > Users & Groups, and press the user picture. Then, open iPhoto and drag the photo you want to use as your account picture to the box with the user picture in System Preferences. Now, set up the photo as you want and accept it, so you will be using this photo as your account picture

  • How can I change the date "taken" on individual photos in iPhoto?

    How can I change the date "taken" on individual photos in iPhoto? I have some photos that were scanned and the date "taken" info displays the day the picture was scanned as opposed to the date it was actually taken. Is there some way to edit this information?

    In iPhoto '11 on your Mac use the command "Photos > Adjust Date and Time" and enable the "Modify original files" option, if you want to set the date of the originals to the correct date as well.

  • How can I change the default setting for downloading photos from email?

    How can I change the default setting for downloading photos from emails I receive?  It shows the default as Photoshop Elements 4.0 and is not supported by this system.  That was my last computer!!
    Thanks,

    That has nothing to do with styles nor Pages, it is a System/Printer Driver setting.
    You can experiment to see if the Printer Settings stick with your document, but in the past this has not worked.

  • How can I change my profile picture

    Dear All, The Modern Skype with touch-screen features looks completely different from the old Skype that we used with Win 7 and earlier versions. For example, in the old Skype, we could go to the Skype button and easily scroll to "Change your profile picture". In the new Skype, there is no functionality to do this. (That is, as far as I know). If you click on "My account", it takes you to the Skype website. In that, you can go to "My Profile", and then "Edit", but the edit does not have any button next to your picture to enable you to change it. In short, I don't know what to do. Please help. Thank you so much in advance for your attention. Dr. Taher

    I hope everyone will forgive my ignorance, because it seems everyone but me can get this done.  Upon viewing the instructions, I do not appear to have the same structure to my home page as others do.  When I click on "my profile", I do see an "edit" button, but I can edit everything except my profile picture.  I'm on a PC using the latest version of windows.  Any help is most gratefully received.  You are not alone.  When I log on there is no picture in the top right corner.  There is one on the left margin so I clicked on the and it took me to the Personal Information page.  There is not any options to change the picture.  To make matters worse; Skype have not updated their knowledgebase help page and are still showing the old drop down menus (Which were much better than what we have now).  Why does a company like Skype roll out completely different user interfaces and leave their hlp pages with out of date information.  Infuriation to the maximum.

    You do realize that only you see the photo associated with this correct - nobody else will see your photo - only you will.
    You have to add the photo in the contacts app. Locate your vcard and tap Edit. Then tap the area where the photo will be located to add a photo. You can take a photo or choose one from your photos app.

  • How do I change my profile picture?

    I'm a long term subscriber, The 4 songs out of the first 5 I saved to my spotify account became my profile picture. Two of the 4 pictures are the same band. I like these songs but dont feel they represent my true musical taste or favorites. How can I customize my profile picture?
    Edit - My apologies, I think I posted this in the wrong forum, I'm using the downloadable Spotify app for PC. Mods please move if need be.

    Hi,
    Also, just to add:
    There is an idea for being able to edit your profile picture without connecting to facebook here. It has been marked as Not right now as they have other priorities right now but that doesn't mean they won't come back to it in the future.
    There is also an idea for customising playlist pictures and info here.
    Feel free to add Kudos and comment on them to show your support!
    Anthony :)

  • My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?

    My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?
    I've changed the bill payer to myself but it stills says on emails that I sent that its from my mother.

    In order for the "From" field to show you options on the "from" addresses available, you must set them up in the Preferences > Accounts first.
    I can't show you a screen shot of the from field because I currently only have one account, so the from address used is the default. However, when I had more than one, then options will show up in your compose/reply window.
    You'd need to add an account here:

  • How can I change game centre and iCloud account information from previous owner of my iPad?

    How can I change game centre and iCloud account information from previous owner to me?

    You can't do it on your own. The previous owner has to erase the device for you. You would need his Apple ID and password in order to delete his iCloud account. This is due to the Activation Lock in iOS 7 - assuming that your iPad is running iOS 7.
    Contact the owner and ask home to erase it remotely using iCloud, or return the device and ask for your money back. If you can't contact the pervious owner, you will have a useless iPad on your hands.
    Read this for more information. This is what you need the previous owner to do.

  • How can I change the settings in the Health App from Imperial to metric - eg to metres and kilos ?

    How can I change the settings in the Health App from Imperial to metric - eg to metres and kilos ?

    We may have to wait for an update.  Aside from changing the country, I'm not sucre this can be done.  There is no Health App in the System preferences and no  way to modify from within the app.  Weird.
    If you go to Language & Region under general settings and choose any other country, you will get Metric.  I have the opposite problem.  I live in a Metric country and want my health app to be in lbs and inches which is what I am used to.

    Here is the solution of changing the language of the Login Screen:

    It then lets you choose the default login language!

  • How can I change the Microsoft Office Click to Run from drive letter 'Q' to something else?

    How can I change the Microsoft Office Click to Run from drive letter 'Q' to something else?
    We have a legacy app that used drive letter 'Q' already, now the newer machines are coming in with 'Q' preassigned to Microsoft Office Click to Run, and it is causing problems.  There has to be a way to change the drive letter assignment to some
    other letter besides 'Q' 

    Hi,
    Office that is delivered by Click-to-Run is installed on the Q drive, this cannot be changed.
    To work around this problem, uninstall the Click-to-Run version of Office and then install with the traditional MSI-based installation.
    To switch to using an MSI-based Office edition, you can learn something useful from this link below:
