Startup account user icon

Where does the startup user icon come from? Under accounts you can choose cat/butterfly etc.
Somehow mine has become a shadow of a person with white swooshes on a blue background. This picture is not in the list under account system preference. I like it, just don't know what made it go to this or where it is coming from.
Thanks

Hi John_C!
I seem to remember, when I changed my User Picture, the default pic did disappear.
I think I downloaded a new one, but can't recall exactly from where.
I've got a copy here Default User Picture, for you, if you want it, but I'll only leave it up for a few hours.
Go to that link, do a Save As, from the browser File menu.
Then deposit the downloaded file into
HD > Library > Users Pictures.

  • Account user icon photo question

    I just upgraded to Mavericks recently and although I lost use of several older apps I still think it's an very improved & excellent OS.
    To create my user ID icon photo I used the camera in the MacBook Pro to snap a good image I like for my "universal" ID. Here's the problem:  I am unable to use that same image on my new Mac Mini because the user ID icon in the MacBook is impossible to find or even copy so that I can move it to my Mac Mini for that account user ID image. Is there a solution to this silly dilemma (other than trying to take an identical photo)? Thanks.

    In Mavericks, that's where they are here :
    What do you find when you go to the folder that leroydouglas suggested ?.

  • Power on MacBook Pro takes me to login screen. All user icons appear as normal. Once I enter password for myself (administrator) spinning takes longer than normal and doesn't log in but displays a no sign

    Power on MacBook Pro takes me to login screen. All user icons appear as normal. Once I enter password for myself (administrator) spinning takes longer than normal and doesn't log in but displays a no sign (circle w line through it) when attempting to login from guest account it takes me to screen that says that the computer will restart to a safe safari system for the guest user. I waited for a longer time and the grey denim screen comes up. By the apple in left upper corner it said I think LSA? Then safari menu bar. The page it loads to us file:///System/Installation/CDIS/Mac%2005%20X%20Utilities.app/Contents/Resource s/English.iproj/GuestLoginInfirmation.html
    Can someone HELP? I'm afraid I might do something wrong

  • Unusual icon next to User icon in Console One

    Hi, I was hoping to locate a list of Novell icons for Console One, as I need to identify an icon which has appeared next to an existing user.
    The existing user has the standard user icon, then a symbol which looks like a few dots circling anti-clockwise to an arrow.
    I can't work out how to paste or attach an image to this post, but the icon is roughly like a reverse refresh symbol.
    When I view the same tree in iManager, this user doesn't appear at all, either when I search that OU or when I search from the root of the tree. Just wondering what is the status of this user account and why this icon.
    Thanks, Nat

    Going by your description I'm guessing this is an alias, meaning it is a
    pointer to the real user. If you go to the Other tab in ConsoleOne I
    think it'll show you the Object Class which is probably 'Alias'. This can
    happen if you move an object and choose to leave an alias behind so that
    references to the old DN still work.
    Why would this show up in ConsoleOne but not iManager? Perhaps one
    replicas has the object while others do not and it's a coincidence based
    on which client (iMan/C1) hits which server. Query all servers via
    iMonitor to see what they show respectively.
    Good luck.

  • Re-arrange user icons

    I have 4 users on my iMac running OSX Lion. How can I re-arrange the order of the user icons on the sign-in page?

    I don't think they are displayed in the order created since the list reads 2, 4, 1, 3...the numbers represent the order in which the account was created. They aren't listed alphabetically, either. Any other ideas? The reason this is important is that my wife is visually impaired and has a hard time seeing her account icon when it is at the left end of the list.

  • Gust User icon

    Hi. This Guest User icon display has appeared on my start up page after tuning on my MacBook Pro today but I didn't put it there. How do I remove this??
    Thanks in advance....

    You don't want to remove it. It's a security feature of Lion...you setup iCloud. If someone steals your computer, the only account they can login to is that account. All it does is provide Internet access so you can locate your Mac. No access to any files on your computer.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions:
    Do you mean the System Preferences Panel? Under Accounts?
    There is no systems preferences folder that I know of.
    Does your home icon show up in Finder on the left under Places?
    You need to better describe what the problem is.
    I'm sorry, Yes I mean the system preference panel icon on my desktop. Under Accounts..
    Only that it is the Accounts that has disappeared. I'm still not sure if I've described it accurately..

  • Account User Control

    How do I stop the 'Account User Control' box showing before opening any PDF file with Reader X1 on Windows 8.  It did not happen when installed on Windows XP

    Its a standard 'User Account Control' box, saying do you want to allow programme to make changes to computer,  There is a 'shield' on the desktop Adobe Reader shortcut icon.  I have tried completely uninstalling programme twice, but each fresh installation ends up the same.  ie whenever I open a PDF, I have to OK the notification first.

  • How do I allow two account users to access pSE6 on their own accounts?

    how do I set up PSE 6 to allow two account users on one computer to access pSE6 on their own accounts?

    They can't share a catalog stored on the main hard drive, if that's what you want to do, but to just use the program separately, log in to the other user account, open PSE, and if PSE wants to register itself again, let it.

  • How do I share my playlists with other accounts/users on my Mac?

    How do I share my playlists with other accounts/users on my Mac?

    Hello,
    I have a similar question, which I posted 8perhaps inappropriately) in the Home Sharing discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17405588#17405588
    The problem I have is that it simply doesn't work and the question I have is how you do not move the the iTunes Library file or the iTunes Library.xml file when they are actually in the folder you are told by the article to move in the first place.

  • How can I change a user icon position?

    How can I change the position that Yosemite determines for where a user icon is positioned on the login screen? I'm the admin and I added a standard user and the icon placement for that user is first, I'm second, and Guest User is third...it does not appear to be alphabetical. I'd like to switch the first two so my user icon is the first one on the left.

    Locate a folder icon you wish to use. Select it and press COMMAND-C to copy. Select the folder you want changed. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. At the top left you will see that folder's icon. Click on it then press COMMAND-V to paste.
    If you want to create your own icons then you will need an application to do that. For example, Folder Icon Changer 3.0.7.
    Google searches will locste tons of pre-made folder icons you csn use. Some are free and some are not.

  • My user icon has disappeared to be replaced by a user icon with a ? Inside it, displaying the message update needed, consequently I cannot enter my MacBook. Can anyone throw some light on this.  I

    user icon replaced with user icon containing ? Cannot access my system.

    Thanks for that 'sberman' - because my iPhone is backed-up to my work computer (only at this stage) I have had to call our IT Department in Adleaide. (4 times this morning). The last guy managed to get the phone into 'DFU Mode' - no more recovery mode screen - (kind of 'asleep' perhaps) from my understanding of same. I am awaiting a call again from IT so they can get my computer to actually recognise my iPhone on the C Drive. This also happened to  one of my colleagues in Newman (WA). She got so frustrated with the whole process that she bought another phone the next time she was in 'civilisation.' She hasn't had any problems since. (Cross fingers).
    Thanks again, Sandra2474.
