How come the avatar shows up in some email messages?

Hi... I've noticed that sometimes the icon/avator from my user account shows up in my email messages..
I can't remember exactly when it does though... but I know I've seen some messages with that icon right there in the message. (sometimes I include myself in the recipient list)
I'm wanting to turn that off... I don't have any pictures in my account and it always displays (when it's on) the default bowling ball or cat picture.
Would like to know how to make sure that is off.
I've sent some tests here today - but it's not doing it today.
Some combination of the way I sent messages in the past cause it to happen and I just want to know what causes it so I can make sure it's off. Thanks.
-Jeff

Jeff,
This is what Mac Help says about account pictures...
Using your own picture in Address Book and the login window
Mac OS X comes with a selection of pictures you can use next to your name in your Address Book card and in the login window. You can also choose one of your own pictures.
For best results, the picture should be 64 x 64 pixels in size. If you choose a larger picture, a window appears so you can resize and crop the image to the appropriate size. The picture can be in JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, PDF, or just about any graphic format.
1. Open System Preferences and click Accounts.
2. Select your account and click Picture.
3. Click Edit.
4. Click Choose, then locate the picture you want.
5. Drag the slider to make the image smaller or larger.
6. Drag the image until the part you want is inside the crop box.
7. Click Set when you're finished.I have not experimented with a blank selection, so I do not know if that is possible. I suspect that you could create a blank JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, PDF, document and create a white background which should appear as nothing in the picture field.
;~)

How do I only show my inbox on email and not all the support folders

How do I only show my inbox on email and not all the support folders

There is a third-party program called Attachment Tamer that will do that for you. In the Terminal, you can type this:
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
Also note that while Attachment Tamer does some things with the encoding that makes certain email clients display the item as an attachment, what shows up at the receiver's end is solely dependent on their email client and its settings.

How come the white color ipad's body is in silver color?

I just got my ipad 2 today.. I really disapppointed when i see some diffrent.. How come the white color ipad's body is in silver color? But yr webpage show the body is white?

Um.....you're not writing Apple here. This is a user to user forum. But, perhaps you should have looked at some more pictures of iPads prior to ordering one. All iPads (Black face or White face) have silver metal bodies, that wrap up the side to the glass front.

cc2014,
Have you selected an image?
Unless a good explanation appears, you may start onthe list below.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

How come the volume of other programs are lowered while one FaceTime? I exchange media with friends and colleagues and I can barely hear anything. There should be a way we can manually control the volume of different programs

I own the movies and I want them to stay in my iTunes library basically forever.
But in both cases the file name no longer shows in the movie list, so I don't know how to re-download it from the Cloud.
iTunes prefs > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
This will show all your iTunes purchases in your library with a cloud icon down arrow. Click the icon to redownload or click on Play to stream without downloading.
Also see this , -> Download past purchases
and techncially, you don't "own" the movie, You simply have a license to use it.
Yet the first thing iTunes does when you hit the delete key is tell you that it will remove the movie forever from all devices and the library.
Actually, no it does not tell you that.
FYI: You should keep copies of all yoru iTnue spurahses as the labels/movie studios/copyright owners can pull their product at anytime and it won't be available to redownload.

How come the swedish word "pappaledig" (paternity leave) doesn´t exist in my iPhone 4S swedish dictionary but "mammaledig" does?This phone was made in 2011!

How come the swedish word "pappaledig" (paternity leave) doesn´t exist in my iPhone 4S swedish dictionary but "mammaledig" does?This phone was made in 2011!

I've fixed my own problem.
In the end, the issue was with iMessage on the other phone, not mine.
While I had it connected to iTunes (the other phone, not mine), I could see that iTunes thought it was the temporary number (07429...). I turned iMessage off and back on again and the phone number in iTunes changed to the old (i.e correct) number (07903...).
Subsequently, texts from my phone to the other phone showed up as blue-bubbled iMessages.
Hope this helps someone!
Thanks for reading, if you did.

How come the repair cost of a MacBook Pro cost more than a brand new unit?

My nephew bought her Mac Book Pro last June 2012. During the time that floods hit metro manila where she is studying, her Mac Book Pro (13in) happend to have been damped wet by water. Still running but it seems the batter got problem. So she brought her unit to SM North Edsa ( Annex) Mac Center for possible repair. The Mac Center told my nephew that the unit will be brought somewhere in Mandaluyong - Apple Service Center. After a few days she received a message from the Mac Center telling her that the repair cost will be a whooping P88,000.00 almost twice the cost of her unit when she bought it. My sister ( my nephew's mother) was fuming asking me how come the cost of repair is so great, it is better to buy a new one.
Is this really true? I wonder what others may have experienced bringing their unit for repair and finding out that the cost of repair is such... APPLE IS THIS HOW YOU TREAT YOUR CUSTOMERS... IS THIS THE KIND OF AFTER SALES SERVICE THAT WE EXPECT FROM YOU... PLEASE explain it to me.. thanks

And mind you dear APPLE believers, this also happens to my BOSS' Mac Book Air, which was brought also to an Apple Center for repair due to White Screen of Death... The repair center told my boss that the repair would cost him P68,000 pesos... the new Mac Book Air is only P47,990.00. Who in his right mind agree to such a repair cost which costs more than a brand new unit... If this is so... then APPLE is not a good brand after all... Anyone who had the same story?
BTW i tried to revive the unit by following some repair tips from the internet... and I was able to revive it without spending a dime.... I am not a technician... just wondering what kind of SKILLS those technicians at the Apple Repair Centers have in the Philippines...

I have 10.3.1, how come the CD's I burn won't play in my vehicle?

I have itunes 10.3.1, how come the CD's I burn won't play in my vehicle?

I have been having issues with edited tracks from Toast/CD Spin Doctor that I send to my iTunes library, so that I might burn them onto a CD at a later date.
For example, when I try to hear my 3:42 edited track of a tune I had just sent over from Spin Doctor to iTunes, instead of hearing 3:42 of the "edited track", I only hear the first 3:42 of the raw "unedited" track. In other words, if my raw Spin Doctor file had 20 seconds of silence before the track started, I would hear that first 20 seconds in my iTunes file instead of the edited file.
Personally, I think Apple needs to allow us Mac users to have a "download previous version" option when serious bugs like this appear on the updates. Seems they give Windows users links to older versions, but for us Mac users, they make it hard for us to easily find older versions. I feel like I'm being held hostage waiting for the next version, or patch.
And when I try to report the issue to Apple, when I go to the "What version of iTunes are you using?", they still don't have version 10.3 listed in their pulldown menus (as of 7/7/11).
If you want me to plunk down money for Lion, then you better get my iTunes back to where I could use it again.
Sorry for the rant, I've been in a major vinyl transfer-to-CD groove in the last month, and this just ruins my momentum. Apple has really disappointed me.

How comes the Ipad mini isn't Retina Display if it has the same resolution as the New iPad?

How comes the Ipad mini isn't Retina Display if it has the same resolution as the New iPad?

The iPad mini doesn't have the same resolution as the "new iPad".
iPad 3 & 4 (retina) = 2048x1536 pixels
iPad 1 & 2 (original) = 1024x768
iPad mini = 1024x768
Apple likely didn't put a retina screen in the iPad mini to keep cost down and to have an option to upgrade the iPad mini to a retina screen down the road, in a year or two. It could be however that the pixel density of 2048x768 at 9" poses a problem for the viewer, in that text and features might be rendered too small or too thin for the average buyer/consumer.

Nope, it's still says it's not compatible with my device. This is from the Google Play Store in my desktop web browser, as well as Google Play Store Android app. I tried clearing the Play Store cache as well but it did not help.

The basic answer is that Apple has not programmed the capture routine with this capability. As such, you can always send QT feedback requesting this feature be added as a future enhancement.
