Initial picture taken during set up attaching to my outgoing email

Hi... I just bought a MacBook Pro (Mac OS X)( i'm not sure of the version as I'm not home right now... i just bought it 5 days ago so I assume the latest?) and during the initial set up I allowed it to take a picture (as part of the step by step set up process) and now that picture, along with all my personal information (home phone, home address), is attaching itself to my outgoing yahoo emails.   I found the Address Book in Preferences/Accounts and I saw that initial picture and my personal info that it was attaching and I changed the picture AND i deleted all the personal info.  However, the initial pic and my personal info was STILL attaching to my outgoing emails so I completely shut down yahoo email and i rebooted my computer... twice...  but the initial pic and my info is still attaching itself.   How do i make this stop?
Also, on my old Mac my 'home' directory was called my first and last name but on this new Mac my 'home' directory is named after my email address.   For example... if my name is Jane Smith and my email is [email protected], on my old Mac the 'home' directory name is 'Jane Smith' but on this new Mac the 'home' directory is called 'JS12345.   Can i change that?  
Thank you so much for your help,
Patricia

Hi,
When you deleted the Address Card that was the (Head and Shoulders icon) My Card did you create another card with your details and a new Pic and set that as the My Card  ?
(My Card is set from the Card Menu > Make this My Card)
In System Preferences > Accounts what is the name of your account there ?
In System Preferences > there is s new Pane to the left of MobileMe where you can add emails, Screen Names and other internet related names  (I forget the name of the Pane and don't have access to my son's Lion computer)
I have Mail version 3.6 on my Leopard computer and cannot see that it has anywhere to change the Pic.
(I also tested sending myself an email and cannot see the attached pic anyway)
I have also checked my Address Book (version 4.1.2) and cannot see that it has anything to say what Pic it chooses to send to the Mail App.
I tried changing the Pic and it seems the Adress Book remembers the last folder you got a Pic from to choose as the pic (Rather than it being the Recents Pics folder as I said in the iChat thread)
I do think it is something to do with the way the Mac USer Account has become "named" with the email address.
However this is a little out of my league but the questions I have asked may help others to help you
(Plus my response will put it near the top again.)

    What is the maximum file size that can be attached to an outgoing email on my iCloud account?

    20mb, but I would suggest leaving a little space. 15 is reliable.

  • Pictures taken during iOS 4 disappeared after upgrade to iOS 4.1

    I have a iPhone 3G, and I upgraded to iOS 4 fairly soon after it came out. I took a bunch of pictures over the summer, and they are all on my computer (synced at least once), but I cannot view them on my iPhone - they show up as black boxes. When I start the "Albums" application, I get the message:
    iTunes Sync Needed
    High resolution images synced via iTunes are missing. Connect your device to the computer you sync photos from and launch iTunes to sync them.
    I have done this, I even created a special folder for them in iPhoto and tried to sync them back - with no success. Any thoughts on what is going on and what the above message means?
    Thanks.

    The iPhone was not legitimately unlocked by the carrier
    The iPhone was hacked to release the AT&T lock and updating it has relocked the iPhone

  • Well set up SMTP but no outgoing emails

    Hello Everybody,
    since last week I have strange situation with my Mail. I have several email accounts in Mail but I can send emails only from two of them (Mac, and one other). All others can't connect with SMTP server. I send my configuration to admin of the server and everything is ok. What is the most strange those accounts that don't send emails on my MacBook work well on my iPhone.
    Can you suggest some advices or tips for this problem?
    Thanks

    Hi all,
    I've implemented sucessfuly the tunne and I've archieved to put traffic on it...
    To archieve this, I've modified my local address to the range 10.148.145.96 / 27, and I've modified (in contact with my client) the remote range to 10.113.x.x to avoid WRVS4400N problem is local and remote addresses are in the same subnet.
    Then, the question right now is:
    Can I do some NATing with the WRVS4400N in order to mantain a 192.168.0.0 range (like before) and translate this IPs to the client reserved range 10.148.145.96 / 27 ?
    Regards.

  • I have FF 7.0 on a PC. Word docs I try attaching to my mobileme emails are not attaching. I can attach using IE. Did something happen to cause this after I upgraded to 7.0?

    Just the last few days, I've been unable to attach docs to outgoing emails on my mobileme account. Also, have not been receiving some daily alerts in my inbox, which I count on getting. Other mail seems to be coming through.
    I am able to make attachments using the IE browser. Chatted with mobileme folks and they can't seen any problems on their end. Did my upgrading to FF 7.0 cause this problem? Thanks for your help.

    Thanks for this mha007 - I can now open FF with a new profile. Can I copy my settings from the old profile or will this bring over the same problem, maybe a corrupt file. If it would bring the same problem, is there any way I can check which file is corrupt, apart from taking them over one by one?

  • I've attached some pictures taken in Ireland, can you take a look

    thank  you to all who helped me with my lens issues. I have gotten the Peterson book, and reading it intently. I'm attaching a  picture taken in Ireland last year. Can you all take a look?. Used my 5DM3 with the EF 24-105mm 1.5.  

    Ok, now I understand you're looking for critique... To my way of thinking, there are two or three parts to how I do critique.  Also, when asking for critique on public forum, expect honesty (nobody would do you any favories if they were dishonest in hopes of not hurting feelings).  So promise not to melt. If an image were entered into a competition, the judges wouldn't necessarily have time to carefully evaluate each image.  They're looking for "stopping value".  Here's what that means:  Imagine you are thumbing your way through a magazine... looking at photo after after.  They're all "nice"... but then you come across something with impact.  It causes you to stop and linger for a while on that image instead of just continuing to turn the page.  That "pause" is what I mean by "stopping value".  You could shoot a photo fo a sunset, but we've all seen thousands of sunsets so a sunset is unlikely to get anybody's attention (it'd really have to be some incredible sunset). I'm normally looking for basics... Is the focus accurate?   Is the exposure technically correct (not over-exposed or under-exposed)?- And then there's a variation on this... is the exposure also artistically appealing?  Did you use a narrow depth of field to help some single element in the image stand out and blur the background & foreground?  Did you use a slow shutter speed to create motion blur and imply a sense of motion into a still photo?  This are examples of ways to not just be "technically" correct, but artistically and creatively appealing. How is the composition?  Are you drawing me to looking at something?  Does it seem balanced?   Is the cropping awkward? I could go on with more examples, but the point is, I'd look for a technically good image and also an artistically appealing image that draws me in. While your image is nicefly focused and nicely exposed, what I'm lacking is a focal point of interest.    I suppose we could say that those rocks are a focal point, but the framing looks random and nothing especially draws me to that subject.   The shutter speed was fast enough to "freeze" the motion of the water, and the water is dramatic (it's not a storm, or massive waves crashing, etc.)  This means there's nothing of particular interest in the water.   if you wanted to evoke a feeling or emotion of tranquility or peace, you could use a very strong neutral density filter (e.g. 10 stop filter) and take a long exposure photo (on a tripod) near evening, and also down near water level and this would blur the water to an almost glass-like look (sometimes if the water is a bit more active you get a foggy look.)  Use of a circular polarizer (CPL) can help tune out the reflection of the water and make it easier to see the bottom through the water.  You mentioned you have the Peterson book (I assume you are referring to Bryan Peterson's "Understand Exposure").  In that book you'll learn how to shoot in "manual" mode.  I think everyone should learn how to shoot in manual mode and then learn how to to decide when to use fast shutter speeds vs. slow shutter speeds or narrow apertures vs. wide apertures for creative impact.  Once you know "how" to control your cmaera for impact, you don't have to use just "manual" -- I use almost all the modes on my camera.   There's a book I like on composition by Michael Freeman called "The Photographer's Eye:  Compositon and Design for Better Digital Photos".   Take some time to read... then take a LOT of time to go shoot and practice.  Some people are strong advocates of "just get out and shoot".  I prefer to shoot with a purpose... read something, then go try to apply that one thing (rather than justing out with no specific goal).   That helps because you can come home, review your shots, and decide how well you achieved your goal (make the goals things that you can realistically achieve.)

  • PS CC crashes when editing panoramas or HDR made in LR CC from pictures taken by iPhone 5c.

    PS CC 2014 crashes when editing panoramas or HDR made in LR CC from pictures taken by iPhone 5c. It is consistent. I have tried several different settings but does not get this to work. Seems like the import from LR to PS is not working as good as it did with LR 5 and CC2014. Anyone else seen anything like this? / Ola

    Hi again,
    I have deinstalled all versions of PS and reinstalled CC 2014. Updated the Graphic driver to the latest version. The system configuration is given below, processor etc. After reinstallation I have tried several combinations of import from LR to PS. It does not matter if it is a dng or a NEF raw file PS keeps crashing when I try to edit the imported file. See attached screen dump. Stressful… I have now tried everything I can think of and nothing has improved the situation so far. / Thanks Ola

  • Problem emailing pictures taken on iPhone

    I have what looks like a double fault problem with emailing pictures taken on the iPhone that I hope someone can help me resolve.
    A user reported to me that he cannot email pics taken on the his iPhone and also has trouble forwarding emails with attachments, including .Doc files.
    I took his iPhone and mine (both 3gs with iOS 4.0.1) and set up his account on my iPhone and a test account on his iPhone. Both his account on my iPhone and the test account on his iPhone could not email a picture taken on the phone except in the smallest size. The larger size messages just sit in the outbox through repeated send/receive operations.
    However, with my account restored to my iPhone I can send the same picture used in the test at the largest size.
    I tried a network reset on the user's iPhone without changing the outcome. As part of my procedure I also power-cycled both phones after deleting email accounts before adding new ones.
    Other things to know: I've rebuilt all the Exchange 2003 virtual directories and done other server troubleshooting for other iPhone problems and am confident the various permissions and other settings are correct. We have about five iPhone users and no other user has reported this problem. However, a couple of users need to have "days to sync" set to "no limit" or I get large numbers of HTTP 500 event log errors. Other users have "days to sync" at the default setting with no problems.
    Has anyone else encountered the scenario I've described and been able to resolve it?

    Here is the fix that fixed the fix we were in (thank you Microsoft!):
    We need to ensure the permissions on the %temp% folder on all your Exchange servers (Both FE and the problematic BE) are set as below:
    - System - Allow Full Control
    - Authenticated users - Allow Read & Execute , List Folder Contents , and Write
    "System" was listed but not "Authenticated Users". Right after I added it I got a message that someone's iPhone had been trying to send me for over a month.

  • Purchased a new Apple TV and the remote double clicks each time I press the button. It worked fine during set up and for the first two days.  I have since moved it and this problem started. Restarted,reset,unplugged,change remotes, no change.Help please.

    Purchased a new Apple TV and the remote double clicks each time I press the button. It worked fine during set up and for the first two days.  I have since moved it and this problem started. Restarted,reset,unplugged,changed remotes, no change. Latest software update. This is really annoying.  iPhone remote app works just fine.  Any suggestions?

    That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
    So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
    But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...
