Imessages wont show my picture

hello!
i installed mountain lion last night, and this is really ocd but that's just me! on imessages although i have a picture assigned to my contacts when i chat with someone the default photo of the lightning bolt shows? yet with my contacts their pictures show up fine?
i'm sure this seems very trivial but it's irritating me lol

Hahah,
Go into Contacts.app on OSX and then search for your name, you have two contact cards, one is the one Messages is using for some reason and the other is your regular account.
Riddle me this, what is your user icon when you log in? what is it when you go to users and groups in system preferences?
in contacts, look for a contact card with your name on it and when you hover over the image, it should say "ME" this image will also be the lightening bolt.
you can change this in Users & Groups in system preferences or you can choose to change it in Contacts.
Hope this helped you.
Of course your friends will need to make their own contact icon card for you to see it on their computer or idevice.

Iphoto wont show my pictures in large format

my pictures will not expand large it just shows a "!" with a circle around it and it does on all my photos, it was working fine and then i lent my comp to a friend and now i have this problem please help

iPhoto cannot find the master files. Only the small thumbnails are available. There are two likely things that happened depending on how you store your images in the library.
1. If you store your images inside the iPhoto library file (this is the default method), then your friend opened up the library package and moved or deleted or renamed the master images. You need to find out what he/she did in order to attempt to fix it. If the files were deleted, you'll need to find a backup to restore them. You do have a backup, don't you?
2. If you store your images outside the iPhoto library file, then those images were moved or deleted or renamed. Or maybe the enclosing folders were renamed.

Wont show all my picture (folder) Files

When I try to sync pics on to my phone, it wont show all of the folders I have in my pictures. It wont let me import the folder either?

The best way to do this with manually created folders on your hard drive used for storing photos is to have a parent folder which contains all the folders that include photos you want transferred to your iPhone.
Do not place a folder that contains photos within another folder that contains photos.
Each folder that contains photos located in the parent folder should contain photos only.
Select the parent folder to be synced with your iPhone and all folders within that contain photos only will be transferred to your iPhone.

Using Bridge CC when I right click on picture to show open with menu it wont show Photoshop cc 2014. How do I fix that?

A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

Why isnt my ipod touch 4g charging? Every time i put it in the charger the screen shows a picture of a battery with a red bar. I know that means it needs charging but my ipod wont charge!!

Well , my ipod fell alot when its with me. Like now it has a broken screen & before the broken screen its been in water. So the thing is , my ipod wont charge! Like everytime i put it in a charger the screen shows a picture of a battery with a red bar then it just disappears! I know that means it needs charging but my ipod wont charge at alll!!! I even tried leaving my ipod in the charger for a whole day and it still wont charge! Can some one please help me???

Try the not-charging topic of:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
Also, look at the dock connector. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts. foreign material and cracked or broken plastic.
I suspect a hardware problem.

Installed apps wont show all applications on E7-00

I'm not really sure what happened in what order, but in the morning I tried installing Opera Mobile to phone memory and yesterday evening I tryed a few apps from the app store, not sure if this is important. For some reason the new opera mobile didn't show up in apps (i had old 10.1 installed on mass memory), tried to reinstall in mass memory but that failed. When I went to take a look in installed apps I only saw about 1/3 or 1/4th of the apps installed on my phone.
Restarting the phone gives the same end result, it still wont show my full app list.
EDIT: I just figured the problem out. I changed my phone language to english and the apps showed up again. My native language is Estonian, but at some points it's hard to understand the translations and I switched to English. I installed all my apps under english and just turned back to estonian yesterday.
btw the same issue is with the camera. I have 2 folders - Camera and Kaamera, one is used when my phone is in english setting, other one is for estonian so pictures are mixed up between the two.

It sounds like you have apps from two different accounts on your iPod/computer. You have to sign into your itunes account to transfer the apps. You also have to authorize the computer to use the account. YOu can also download apps at no addition cost. See:

What gen iPod (3,4?) did you buy?

My iMessage won't send pictures or videos to one of my contacts.

My iMessage won't send pictures or videos to one of my contacts. Can someone please help? I've already turned my device on and off, but it still won't work. It happened after the last update.. when I send a picture or video, it would show as sent, but then have the red exclamation icon and say message not delivered. I would try and deliver multiple times but it just won't work.

It depends if the contact is not an apple product it will not work at all ..iMessage is only used for apple products.Just check.Well you should know if the contact is an apple user or not so yeah thats all really.But if it's it that important f.of a pic download a texting app it helps alot.

Please Help me! Itunes wont show my songs in albums!

I have a mac (Mac Mini, Mac OS X Server Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)) and I have itunes updated and everything else that I would think need to be updated but this has been happening for so long. For all my albums I can not see the songs, like it just wont show them when I click on album cover / thing. But my music does show when I go to songs. It also wont show in, Artist, and Gernes.
Heres an example of what it does:
if you cant see the picture its also uploaded here: http://tinypic.com/r/ws64hh/5
Thank you in advance!!

Hi NoahS168,
If iTunes does not appear to be grouping your songs correctly under Album, Artist, or Genre, you may want to check to make sure that something hasn't changed or removed the metadata from those fields. The following articles explains a bit more about the metadata attached to song files:

Imail wont show mail attachment

From time to time imail doesn't show attachments that come with an e-mail. In order to better explain it. I use IMAP mail. When I recieve the mail, I can see the small attachment picture but there is no attachment file with in the mail. In order to make sure, I log into my imap server with a web browser. I open the same e-mail and the attachment is there. Imail wont show or download the mail attachment. Is there any solution to this problem?

Well, I fixed it. Luckily I just have my .Mac IMAP email account with aliases so I just deleted my ~/Library/Mail, ~Library/Mail Downloads and ~/Library/Preferences/Mail Prefs and on the next launch of Mail it grabbed all my mail from the .Mac server. I had to recreate my rules but I have my RSS feeds back once again. I hope the updates to Mail in 10.5.3 address this issue as it has happened on two machines for me now.

one fine day yesterday, my i phone just hangup lost all contact detail. The screen only show a picture depicting cable connection to iTune. I have tried to restore iphone to factory setting but not working . May i know how to proceed to recover lost contacts.

I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

Windows Vista wont show iPhone in My Computer

It wont show up in My Computer or as a digital camera. It works fine otherwise, it syncs fine with itunes. How do I make it show up as a removable device under My Computer? I'd like to do this in order to take the pictures that I took with the camera off onto my computer.
Thanks

Actually, this is not true when it comes to pictures.
I can pull pics from my iPhone using windows (via My Computer), Photoshop Elements, iTunes and Corel...
Whenever I put my phone in the doc I am prompted by 3 programs to retrieve the pictures with. (rather annoying, actually...!!). And yes, all 3 work.
