How to edit your profile picture in OS X Mountain Lion?

I am trying to edit my picture in System Preferences > Users & Groups
Default obviously shows you the stock photos. Recents, shows you recents... and camera allows you to take a new photo now and use photobooth style effects.
How can I... use a photo on my Mac... one of my photos like you used to be able to?

On way (there may be others) is to save the picture you want to use to your desktop and simply drag it onto your existing pic is User & Groups Prefs.

Does anyone know how to edit your profile if you have more than one apple device but only 1 email address?

Hi I am trying to update my email address since I quit work and left my work email address behind. I now only have one email address, but an iphone and ipod classic and want both of them to use the same email address - but am having problems using the address for my iphone as it is already attached to the ipod classic. Does anyone know how I fix this??
thanks

My profile: bookmarks - I added one of someone that did manage, it does take planning.
take a look and good luck, it is not supported or standard but can be done.
NTFS and HFS drivers to write back and forth may be easier and better though.
or 2nd hard drive - and use NTFS along with HFS driver as needed.

I'd like to know how to change my profile picture that appears on mail threads on my mac. please help.

I'd like to know how to change my profile picture that appears on mail threads on my mac. please help.

There may be other methods, but below is how I change my email photo.
Here is how to change your Mac Mail email photo in Mountain Lion:
Open the App called "Contacts". Type your name in the search field. Your contact info and photo should appear. Click on your photo. You now have some photo options. I use the "Recents" tab, and simply drag photo files from Finder into that window in Contacts. Drag and drop.
If you have trouble finding yourself in "Contacts" you can also get there by doing this:
Open one of your sent messages. Double click your photo in that message. This opens another window with your photo in it. Double-click that photo. This should open your contact information in the Contacts App.
Hope this helps.

How do i change to 32bit colour depth in mountain lion?

I was trying to access my favourite poker site when this message was displayed " This game requires the color depth to be set to 32 bits (millions of colors) in your display" , before i upgraded to mountain lion i never had problems with this, any suggestions on how to set the depth?

I've not seen this exact message on the Mac when using SMB to connect to a server/NAS. Are you using the File > Connect to Server method and then typing in smb://computer_name/share_name in the 10.8 Mac?
Note that Apple made changes to SMB in 10.7 (Lion). Have a read of this article. This new version made it impossible for some devices to connect to the Mac share using SMB and I believe it was the same in the other direction, although I have no experience with that.

How to download purchased installation image of OS X Mountain Lion

How to download purchased installation image of OS X Mountain Lion for clean boot installation.

When, and if, you can get Mountain Lioin to download, it will automatically try to install itself. If you want to create a bootable installation disk (disc), quit the installer. You'll have a file in your Applications folder a file named "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app". Get yourself either a 8GB+ USB flash drive or use a dual-layer DVD and use Lion DiskMaker to create a bootable installation flash drive or DVD (the USB flash drive will be faster).
Don't know why you're having trouble with the download, though....

How do i do a full reintstall of osx Mountain Lion

How do I do a full reinstall of OSX Mountain Lion so that all data from my internal hard drive on my Macbook Pro is wiped out and starting fresh?

Install or Reinstall Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
      the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
Snow Leopard Tech Specs
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Other countries...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...
Next... Check that your Mac meets the Requirements for Mountain Lion.
Upgrade to Mountain Lion
With Regard to ML... Check here for compatibility of 3rd party Software you may be using... Also note that Rosetta is no longer supported in Lion and Mountain Lion...
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
You should also consider more RAM... Get the Maximum you can for your Mac...
It is important to get the Correct and Matching RAM
See Here > OWC RAM > http://www.macsales.com
The above site also has videos on how to Install RAM should you need it..

Adding pictures to contacts in mountain lion

I'm having issues getting picture to contacts in mountain lion. Any help?

Same here. It seems like I can add only the standard OS X avatars, or any "Faces" I've tagged of the person in iPhoto. I can't just pick a jpeg as my image. The iPhoto Faces option would be less aggravating if manually adding/editing a Face in iPhoto wasn't so buggy.

Where can I learn how to setup and use the new features in Mountain Lion?

Where can I learn how to setup and use the new features in Mountain Lion?

MacWorld has a Superguide, TidBITS has Take Control books, and probably a flock of other publishers have physical books.

Mavericks: How can you deactivate scrolling like you could with Mountain Lion? I mean shut off, nothing else.

Mavericks, mouse: How can you deactivate scrolling like you could with Mountain Lion? I mean shut off, nothing else, and I need it for photoshop. PS: Apple people: Mavericks is not satisfying - why turn good things bad? Urs Keller, Switzerland

Open System Preferences then type scrolling in the search field top right corner of that window.
There may be more than one way to do this for you.

HT4854 When trying to download Mountain Lion, I get the following message: "We could not complete your purchase. OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion requires a Core 2 Duo, .... processor." However, my Mac lists a 2GHz Intel Core Duo as its processor. Help?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Mountain Lion is a 64-bit operating system, and an Intel Core Duo processor is only 32-bit, so you can't use Mountain Lion on your Mac. You can keep using your actual OS X version or buy a new Mac if you want Mountain Lion
