Remove pictures in Lync

I'm using Lync 2013, and even though I've changed the Options -> Personal to say that I don't want to see pictures, Lync still shows a silly cartoon picture next to people when I'm having a conversation with them, next to their name.
We're wanting to use this at work, so we really need to get rid of this as it makes the program look childish.
Does anyone know how you can get it to just show people's name just like it does in the list of people?

Run the command New-CsClientPolicy -DisplayPhoto NoPhoto. Then assign the new client policy to these users you don’t want to display photo.
The parameter DisplayPhoto determines whether or not photos (of both the user and his or her contacts) will be displayed in Lync.

Lync 2013 client - part of Office 2013 Pro Plus - unable to edit or remove picture, option is grayed out.

Hi Team,
Lync 2013 client - part of Office 2013 Pro Plus - unable to edit or remove picture, option is grayed out.
Using Exchange 2010 Server and Lync 2010 Server at the back. To the best of my knowledge, this option is only available when using Exchange 2013 rather than Ex 2010.
Can somebody confirm this as I am not 100% sure about it.
Appreciate your help. Thanks

Hi,
The photo precedence in Lync 2013 is high-resolution photo from Exchange 2013 -> Photo from web address -> Active Directory photo. The "Edit or Remove Picture" button is available if you integrate Lync Server 2013 with Exchange 2013.
Since you are Lync server 2010 and Exchange 2010, you can choose the following two options:
The thumbnailPhoto attribute on the user's object in Active Directory Domain Services
A URL configured by the user

Remove all pictures from Lync

Hello, we're running Lync server 2013, with some 2013 clients and some 2010 clients. management has recently reversed approval for and has directed that profile pictures be taken down. Pics are removed from AD and no longer appear in Outlook, but Lync
continues to show them. How can these be removed from Lync? This is not turn off show pictures on local clients, but remove them completely from a server standpoint so they are not there to show. Thanks.

Your photo's are probably still present in the Lync Address book directory (ABFiles) in your Lync File Store, where they are cached.
You could delete the contents of this directory and force addressbook generation. When the client updates it's address book pictures should be gone.
Another solution already given by BenDonaldson, you could disable contact pictures in Lync completely by changing the clientpolicy applied to your users. (
Set-CsClientPolicy -Identity "Global" -DisplayPhoto NoPhoto)

Lync 2013 profile picture, the option "Edit or Remove Picture" is greyed out

Hi
I am using Lync 2013 standard server, with Lync basic client 2013.
the profile picture button, the option "Edit or Remove Picture" is greyed out
how can i solve this problem.
with get-CsClientPolicy, DisplayPhoto = AllPhotos.
is this the policy issue or client issue?

You can actually manipulate the client policy to have the option to upload a picture reappear in Lync 2013.
You can manipulate the PowerShell script below to apply it to the necessary policy
$PolicyEntry=New-CsClientPolicyEntry -Name EnablePresencePhotoOptions -Value true
$currentClientPolicy=Get-CsClientPolicy -Identity Global
$currentClientPolicy.PolicyEntry.Add($PolicyEntry)
Set-CsClientPolicy -Instance $currentClientPolicy
Enjoy !!

How do I remove pictures from my iPhone that can't be deleted?

How do I remove pictures from my iPhone that can't be deleted?

This is very vague.
If you mean pics that you synced to your iphone form your computer, then delete them the same way. Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want to be on your iphone, sync.

How can i remove pictures from my droid turbo without having to use the touch screen on the phone at all?

how can i remove pictures from my droid turbo without having to use the touch screen on the phone at all? my screen is cracked and i am waiting on a replacement phone. as far as i can tell in order to access the phone storage through my computer, i have to use the touchscreen to enable it so that the computer will see it as a camera. I can't do that as the top half of the touschscreen is unresponsive. any suggestions? teaches me to use the backup services offered in the future, but i still need a short term solution for this time.

I'm sorry to hear your screen is cracked spence425. I know its difficult to use the phone while its damaged. I'm happy you are receiving a replacement device. Have you saved any of your pictures and other data to the cloud? Here is a link about the cloud http://vz.to/1mF0GIx . Unfortunately, you will be unable to remove any data from the phone if the screen is unresponsive but if you are looking to transfer data to your new phone, it would have needed to be saved via the cloud first. Keep us posted.

How can I remove pictures from my ipod touch that were downloaded from my computer?

Hi... How can I remove pictures from my IPod (4th generation) that were downloaded from my

If the pictures were synced from a computer to the iOS device then they are removed the same way. Connect the device to the computer. Tell iTunes what to sync and sync.

Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files?

Is there any way I can view / remove pictures from Camera Roll on the iPhone, on a Mac, without actually importing the files? I just want to view / delete files without importing them.
For instance I have 1200 photos on my iPhone Camera Roll. Some of these are shots, that I've taken multiple times, some good, some bad. I just want to clean up my Camera Roll, but going through the pictures on the iPhone's small screen is tedious. I'd much rather look at the camera roll's photo's on my Mac, and then decide which files I'd like to keep, and which to delete.
I don't want to import the files, as when I import the files, and delete them from Camera Roll, now the Photo's are not on my phone, and the only way to get them back on my Phone is to Import them back in using iTunes, and then they go into the Picture Library and not the Camera Roll.
In the same way as I can view Pics from my digital camera's SD card on a Mac without having to actually copy them to my computer, is there any app out there that will let me view my iPhone pics without importing them.

The short answer is yes.
Connect your iPhone to your computer.
Open Image Capture application.
Click on the 4 little squares at bottom to view them as photos, not a list.
Select the photos them click the No Entry icon at bottom to delete.

If I back up iMovie projects to an external drive does it take the media with it? I want to free up space and remove pictures that were in iPhoto...that were used as media by iMovie when project was under way. In short I want archive iMovie stuff

If I back up iMovie projects to an external drive does imovie take the media with it? I want to free up space and remove pictures that were in iPhoto...that were used as media by iMovie when project was under way. In short I want archive iMovie stuff. If I pull pics out of iPhoto, and later want to drag an archived projet bac into iMovie and the pics are no longer in iPhoto, will I be able to keep working in the project in iMovie?

Very likely not, as the iPhoto's can be used for something else.
More like it took a copy, or it's referencing that spot on the drive in the editable files and most likely made a copy to create a new permanent export file.
Sample one picture and a iMovie file and see what happens.

Acrobat 8 standard - Removing pictures from PDF files

I hope this is an easy one to answer but I'm having troubles removing pictures from a PDF file and I need some help, can anyone answer please?

If standard has the Object touchup tool, you can select them and then delete them. I suspect that this may have the same problem as the redact tool as mentioned by graffiti.
