How to change or remove my picture in Mail

So I'm trying to change/remove the picture that's attached to my emails. I go into my user account under System Preferences and I find that I haven't assigned a picture there so I'm not sure where Mail is getting it from. I did copy a bunch of Mail files from my old computer so perhaps this came with them. Does anyone know how to change this?
Thanks,
Ben

Take a look at your card in Address Book.
BTW, the picture is shown in the header section of the message for your convenience only. It is not sent as part of the message.

how to change or remove pass code

Settings>General>Passcode Lock...enter your passcode...Turn Passcode Off.
Not recommended though.

I like the mail feature with one exception; I cannot figure out how to change the font size of incoming mail permanently. And, when answering an email I have to highlight the first few words and zoom it so I can see what I am writing. what am I missing?

You can type the email using what you set in preferences and then highlight the text and use command - minus sign (or command - + for larger) to reduce the size of the text.
You can also type command - T and a window will appear allowing you to select fonts/sizes/color/ background highlight.
The above works in Notes also. I haven't tried to do this in any other Apple application.
For incoming emails, you can use the above to reduce font size, but I don't know of a way to permanently set the incoming font size to a default.

How to change keyword in many pictures at the same time?

I gave a big series of pictures the wrong keywords. Now, I can't figure out how to change them (besides one by one...).
If I select e.g. 10 pictures in Library-mode, how to change keywords on them all at the same time?

Make sure you are in Grid View, primary monitor (if you have two), select 10 pictures and type (or delete) the keywords in the Keywording panel in the left upper corner.
Make sure the Metadata->Show Metadata for Target Photo Only is unchecked in the menus. Otherwise your edits will only apply to the primary selected (most selected) image.

How to change the spelling correction language in Mail

Hey!
Often I have to write emails in different languages and I'm looking for a solution to change the spelling language by a click. My plan was to record the procedure of changing the language and then to add for every language one button to the mail tool bar. First I tried to record an AppleScript in Mail. Didn't work at all (actually the only app I found which records scripts is Finder). Then I recorded a similar task in Finder which works fine and tried to adopt it to Mail. It didn't work out. Has someone an idea how I can solve that problem.
My simple training script what I tried to adopt for Mail (i just tried to change something in the Mail preferences, not the language):
tell application "Finder" <--- replaced all "Finder" with "Mail"
activate
select Finder window 1
open window of Finder preferences
set folders open in new windows of Finder preferences to true
close window of Finder preferences
end tell
Thanks

Hi
It's not that easy! Apart from the fact that Mail doesn't work the same way as Finder, it also doesn't have its own spell checker: it uses the system-wide AppleSpell service.
The pane you see when you manually change the preferred spelling language in Mail (or TextEdit, or Safari) doesn't belong to Mail at all, and isn't directly accessible by AppleScript because AppleSpell is an invisible and unscriptable process.
See this closed Apple Discussions thread for a brief indication of how you can change the preferred language using a shell script.
And see this macoshints thread for an indication of the complexity of the issue.
You need to know the "code" for each language used in the preferences file: "en_GB" for British English, "fr" for French etc etc. You would then need to wrap each shell script in an AppleScript "do shell script" command like this:
do shell script "defaults write 'Apple Global Domain' 'NSPreferredSpellServerLanguage' \"fr\""
to change the language to French.
Unfortunately, I think you would also need to quit Mail and relaunch it before the change will take effect.

How to change colour of mailbox containing new mail

I have Thunderbird sort my incoming mail into various mailboxes based on various criteria.
Until recently, when new mail arrived in any box, the title of that box (in the list, left hand pane) turned red - thus making it easy for me to identify which boxes needed my attention. For some reason this has stopped. The incremental number showing the number of unread messages still changes, but the title colour remains black.
Anyone know how to change the behaviour to highlight mailboxes containing new mail please?
Thanks..

My point is that until recently the behaviour was automatic - it changed the colour of box names as amatter of course. This has now changed, wth all box names being in black whether or not there is new mail in the box.
I receive a lot of mail and being able to quickly distinguish which box had received new mail would make life easier..
I suspect there is a setting within Thunderbird to enable this but I'm damned if I can find it..

How to change "Full Name" in iCloud IMAP mail account information

Brand new to this forum so please excuse any newbieisms. I am running OS X 10.7.5 I created an iCloud IMAP mail account so that I can sync with my iPhone.
Windows Live is my original mail account. All is good except the "Full Name" in "Accounts" preferernces is somehow incorrect. When I send mail frm my Mac, this incorrect name shows in the "From" field. Mail sent from my iPhone shows my correct name as it appears in my phone cloud settings. The name doesn't sync in iCloud. All other syncing is good. When I try to change it manually in my Mac mail preferences, I get the message "the"Incoming Mail Server" field can not be empty" when I try to save the changes. The aforementioned field is not empty and is in fact greyed out as this was self populated upon creation of the account. I can't even change the case sensitivity of the name or I get the message. As a stop gap I have created an alias to send mail with, but would like a proper fix. Any ideas?

If you created a new iCloud account it would have a new associated iCloud email account. You wouldn't be able to move your current @icloud.com address to the new account.
Just to double-check, after quitting (Command-Q) and re-opening Mail, did you start an new message and click the down-arrow next to From to see if the new sender name was available from the drop-down list (see image below)? If so, you might try signing out of iCloud entirely. To do this, go to System Preferences>iCloud, click Sign Out, choose Delete at all of the prompts, restart your Mac, then sign back in and test Mail again. (This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your Mac, but not from iCloud. Your iCloud data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in.)

How to change the order of pictures on Apple TV

The pictures shown on the TV are not in date/time or file number order. How do you change the order of the pictures on the screen?

I have struggled with this last year. The sort order of pictures is different in iPhoto, iPad, Apple TV. There are some tricks to get the desired order, but I never managed to get this consistent. The Apple TV has no option for sorting unfortunately.
Maybe things are better now, but I have given up on showing photos using iTunes.
Nowadays I am streaming photos from my NAS and I can show them in any order I want.

How to change colors in one picture that they will be similar to colors in other picture

Rather big title but I couldn't find better one.
I have two pictures presenting the same thing, but in different light (e.g. one is made in the morning and one in the evening). So - similar objects have different colors. How can I change the a picture that the colors of objects will be similar to the second one? Something like taking histogram from one picture and using it in the second one. Can it be done in PSE8?

Hi,
I haven't done it in PSE 8 but use that frequently in PSE 9 and thought it would be useful to post it here. in PSE 9, you can use the Style Match feature of Guided Edits. I find that quite useful.
Thanks

How to change the menu button picture?

Hi,
How can I change the picture (or the 'movie frame') that appears in the sub-chapter menu buttons (those that link directly to different movies) in Encore CS5? By dedfault there appears the first frame from the sequence which in my case is black as I start my sequences with 'dip to black' dissolves. So, all of my sub-chapter menu buttons have black pictures as a result of that. I don't want to animate them, I just want to learn how to pick a frame from the sequence and turn it into a menu button picture.
Thanks

Dear Ann and Bill,
Thanks a lot for your help!
Unfortunately, I can mark only one answer as correct and I decided to give advantage to Ann as her reply was first and she is a lady.
I know Bill will not mind.

How to change the order of picture folders loaded from my Computer to my TV via Apple TV?

Thank You !

I am very disappointed that no one out there are willing or able to give me a replay to this.

How to change a hi res picture of fingers in a way that will make the fingerprints clear ?

Hi, I need to transform hi resolution pictures of fingers in a way that will cause the fingerprints to stand out.
The purpose of this is so I may count the number of ridges and furrows of each fingerprint.
Many thank !!
Eran

Before removing a blade always run a decommision, even if you are going to use the same service profile:
Server - General - Server Maintenance.
When you insert it in another slot, it will run a re-acknowldge. If you are going to apply the same service profile with the local disk configuration that you mention, the data should stay there.
If the Protect Configuration box is checked, the server retains the configuration in the local disk configuration policy even if the server is disassociated from the service profile.
When a service profile is disassociated from a server and a new service profile associated, the setting for the Protect Configuration property in the new service profile takes precedence and overwrites the setting in the previous service profile.
Note
If you disassociate the server from a service profile with this option enabled and then associate it with a new service profile that includes a local disk configuration policy with different properties, the server returns a configuration mismatch error and the association fails.

How to change the position of picture view?

I dont like the default view of picture gallery in my e52 which is horizontal view because it needs me to always turn around my phone to see a good view of all picture any settings to change to vertical view?
NOKIA E52-1
034.001

To move a segment into another schema without doing significant io, one can use partition exchange ( with dummy partitioned table ) - i believe, somebody has suggested this somewhere on asktom. Materialized view can then be created on the prebuilt table.
Best regards

It uses the image from your contact card in the Contacts app. Find your card, click on the View menu and select Clear Custom Image.
Also, note that this image only shows up on your computer, not the recipient's.
