Display picture in messages totally pixelated when seeing it with yahoo messenger for windows

Hello,
I'm using messages to chat with my yahoo messenger account at work and yahoo messenger for windows at home.
When I log into Yahoo with messages, my yahoo display picture is updated automatically with the one I have choose in messages.
My problem is that this picture is totally pixelated when you see it on yahoo messenger for windows. It seems that Messages is changing its size.
As the size in Yahoo messenger for windows is bigger it appears pixelated!
If I choose no display picture in messages, the one I have choose with yahoo messenger for windows disappear when I'm logging with it.
Is there a way that messages do not update the display picture each time I'm logging to Yahoo?
I suppose that there is no solution to this problem but I wanted to be sure.
Anyway thanks for your help.

HI,
Thanks for the Path.
This does seem to show all the Recents from the Contacts App > My Card, the Login Pic and the Messages Buddy List pic.
I think in Mountain Lion these were either separate items or the .plist that is in the current place listed the app/location the pic was used.
I have looked at the pictures in the folder (.png and thumbnail .tiffs) and the .plist and it does seem to be all the pics I have used in all three places over the last few months.
The Yahoo account is logged in not through IMAgent that FaceTime and Messages use for other Accounts but from the IMServicePluginAgent.
In Mountain Lion this used to list a Buddy Pic server as well as a straightforward login.
Using Little Snitch I am not seeing that in Mavericks.
Seems you may have to change your Pic on a web page for your Yahoo account.

My contact list for BB messenger keeps viewing an old display picture

Ok I have blackberry messenger 5.0.0.57. I had a display picture for a long time but now I want to change it and my contacts does not see the new pic. I have removed the battery, made the test with different pictures but still, nobody can't see it. I have asked at least 20 people and only one told me he sees the new one, the rest, do not. Any ideas?

When I've had this happen the only way I could fix it was to delete the affected contacts and re-add them.

MSN Messenger display pic

Hey all, I'm new to Mac's so I'm sorry if this question/problem has already been posted, but I just installed MSN Messenger on my MacBookPro and when I try to add a display picture into the messenger, an alert comes up saying, "please make sure the file is in the correct format". Well all of my pictures that I have tried have all been in JPEG/JPG formats. I even tried re-saving the picture and then importing it into the messenger display pic, and that still didn't work.
If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this I'd be greatly appreciated if you could help me out
Thanks again!

Hi passecj,
I don't use MSN Messenger anymore (switched to Adium) but found this two URLs for you regarding what sounds like the same issue:

Call Display Picture Always Full Screen (I don't want that)

There are a few discussions about this, but they all seem to be over 4 years old, and I still have the problem. (Please read the whole explanation, as I've tried several fixes already)
I am extremelly picky with my computer and phone "stuff". Ever since I've owned my iPhone I've made it a point to add a picture to every contact I have.
Early in my iPhone ownership I realized that if you add a picture directly from your iPhone (wether is taking it directly from the iPhone cam while adding the contact or choosing from the library) such picture shows FULL screen when I call that person or when that person calls me. If I simply open Address Book in my Mac and "drag" a picture (say for instance from Facebook) into the picture section of that contact and then synch, then when I make or receive a call from that person it shows small and I still see my wallpaper on the background.
Well THAT's what I want (just like in the Appple commercials), I DON'T want the full screen picture.
Now here's THE PROBLEM;
For some reason NOW, I STILL add pictures the SAME WAY (I go into Facebook, and drag the picture into Address Book) but when I make or receive a call from that person the display picture ALWAYS shows full screen!! It's annoying the heck out of me!!
The ONLY thing different is that now my contact are synched thru iCloud as opposed to synching using a USB cable in iTunes, HOWEVER, SOME contacts show how they are supposed to show (even adding them thru iCloud), but MOST others don't! I feel I should add that ALL contacts I had BEFORE I strated synching with iCloud still show fine, the ones that have a problem are MOST (but not all) of the ones I added AFTER I started synching thru iCloud. And the fact that a few worked fine leads me to believe there's got to be a way of making them all show small.
Anyone has any idea of how to keep them ALL the same?

OK, that's interesting. Now, how do I get all of my contact photos into iPhoto? And do I have to do this one contact at a time, or is there a setting where I can "import all". Furthermore, once all photos are in iPhoto and I select "Import Face from iPhoto" can I do such actions for all contacts at once or do I have to do them one at a time?

BBM display picture does not update mine nor contacts

Please assist. I have a BB 8520. I am running version 5.0.0.57. I am having a major issue. My bbm contact display pictures are not changing, nor are my contacts. I deleted my wife to re invite her, when request was accepted, I ended up with a blue man. I have reinstalled bbm and I have rebooted. I added myself to my contacts and I appear as a blue man when I actually have up a picture. I have been checking my concerns over the net and quite a few people are having the same issue. Can any one please assist.
Thanks

Hey BRO9220,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
How many BlackBerry Messenger contacts are currently on your BlackBerry? If over 100, I would suggest lower to less than 90 and see if the avatars update.

Dear Skype- STOP killing the display pictures

This is more of a suggestion/complaint than anything else and I hope I'm putting this in the right place but, Skype's last update made everything look like iphone messages which also made the display pictures small as hell.
This was annoying as I like to actually LOOK at people's pictures and it's nice to have a quick visual represenation to remind you who you're talking to. I mean sure-- I can click on the image and see a larger version along with their profile info but...why should I do that?
NOW today I log on and skype updates and they're gone COMPLETELY from the chat windows?
WHY? WHAT REASON WAS THERE TO REMOVE THEM? The chat windows look so bland now and the only way to see display pictures is in the actual messager or when they call you, I guess. Removes a lot of the fun and point of having display pictures now.
Why not all the time??? I remeber it allowed you to hide display pictures that you did'nt want to see, but now Skype just does it for you, all the time, forever. At least let us have the CHOICE to hide them like they are now.
My suggestion: Bring back display pictures in the chat LARGE they USED to be before Skype had this iphone-like layout, WITH THE OPTION of making them tiny and round or removing them all together. Thanks.
Solved!

No, this is not a glitch, but by-design behaviour. If you make the chat window slightly wider, profile pictures will appear.

This is a ridiculous workaround. Why is this even an issue? Display pictures at the top of conversation windows (at the minimum width, mind you), have been there for years, and were perfectly fine prior to the 7.3 update. What was the point of changing this?
I reverted to 7.2 as soon as I learned this was a design choice and somehow kype updated itself to 7.4 despite having automatic updates in Skype and Windows Update turned off. (Probably opened the update notification as I was typing and accidentally allowed it) I tried to reinstall 7.2 but the installer apparently couldn't connect to the server, and linked me to the main download page. Now I somehow have 7.5 on Windows and this picture issue still persists.
Why isn't this being fixed? This is an unnecessary change which might sound petty to be up in arms about, but this really irks me, as it's convenient, consistent with nearly every other messenger out there, and last year there was a problem where older group chats' display pictures would show as default and this was fixed just before they made this change. Do they even know what they're doing?
Yeah-- I agree.
I'm still annoyed by the fact that I have to choose between ridiculously wide windows (that make the avatars vanish sometimes anyway?) and nice slim windows that have icons missing for no real reason.
It's not a big enough issue for them to really 'fix' it, I suppose since it falls under the 'pet peeves' instead of actual problems category, I guess.
But yeah, bringing the avatars back as they used to be (instead of continuously making them smaller and further away and less present as time goes by) would make me happy, personally. [:

How do I connect a mac cinema display to a dell laptop with VGA output?

I need to connect my coworkers Mac Cinema display to his Dell Laptop with VGA out, running Windows 7. We have a VGA to DVi adapter, but it doesn't work. Do we need a different adapter or a driver? Thanks.

DVI-I offered by most computers has support for up to a wider-than-1920 Digital display AND a complete set of VGA signals in it.
If you have an adapter from DVI [computer] to VGA [display] it has no conversion logic in it and should be called a VGA extractor. It will NOT work the other direction.
I think what you need is a better computer or a worser (VGA) display.

Mac Messenger program shut down

When ever I try to close any conversation window in mac messenger the program automatically shuts down and then asks me to send an error report. The program starts up again and runs fine until I close another conversation window and it shuts down again.....What do I do? How do I resolve this problem?
2.2 Ghz 2gb ram Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10)

its most likely a bug in the software. do you have a beta? my suggestion would be to get another, stable revision of the program, or update it. there are also other programs that may or may not work for you. what all do you need in a program?
good luck
yes, adium would be good, as would proteus from my experience

Look up "screen sharing" in help
You can control your mini (which I am assuming you are hooking to your TV) complete from your iMac.
After you set up screen sharing, you can go to the finder, under the "go" menu choose "Connect to server" and then browse. Choose your mac mini's name, and look for the "Screen Sharing" button.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Sharing.
Select the Screen Sharing checkbox.
To specify who can share your screen, select one of the following:
All users:
Select this if you want to allow any user with a user account on your computer to share your screen.
Only these users:
Select this if you want to restrict screen sharing to specific users.Click Add at the bottom of the Users list and select a user from Users & Groups (accounts you have set up in Users & Groups preferences), Network Users (users on your network), or your Address Book. Or click New Person and enter a name and password to create a sharing account. Then select that user from the list, and then click Select.
Click Computer Settings and set the following options:
Anyone may request permission to control screen:
Select this to allow anyone on your network to request to share your screen.
VNC viewers may control screen with password:
Select this and enter a password that VNC viewer applications can enter in order to control your screen.It’s recommended that you not set a password if you only share this computer’s screen using the built-in screen sharing viewer in Mac OS X.
