User Pictures

I would like to include user pictures into our LDAP db. (So, for example, when searching for user info through Addresbook app, one would get the user picture as well as the contact information.)
I have found that in Workgroup Manager, if I click on the Inspector tab, I can add a "Picture" attribute for each user. But, I'm not sure what the appropriate values are for that attribute.
Thank you.

Hello,
The documentation you are looking for is at:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSXServer/Conceptual/XServer_Program mingGuide/Articles/UserImagesinOpenDirectory.html
Basically you need to create an automount network library and place the pictures in there. Any client that sees the automount will show user pictures in Address Book, iChat, Login Window, etc.
It works quite well, but I've found it a bit restricting in that the images can only be 64x64. Let us know if you have any luck with this.

  • Help- After upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.4 all of my default user pictures are missing

    Hello,
    After ugrading to Mountain LIon 10.8.4 on my 2010 1.4 GHz Macbook air and now all of my default user pictures are missing.
    I found a similar situation on the net in which the guy says to do this: "logged in as root and trashed the old user icon images file the copied the folder froma ML factory disk image".  I have no idea what any of that means or if is for real as an answer or just a way to screw up my computer even more. I need help, and really basic simple instructions like your talking to some one who barely know how to turn on a computer.  I would be really grateful to anyone who will help me. Thank you for your time.

    I found a simple solution that worked on my Macbook Air running 10.8.4 which was missing all the User pictures when I tried to access them as the computer administrator even through they wer all there in the User Pictures folder in the Library.
    I went into the Library Folder and trashed the "User Pictures" Folder.
    I then copied the User Pictures folder from my Macbook Pro (also running 10.8.4) that did not have this issue and installed in on the Macbook Air in place of the User Pictures folder I had trashed.    Then it all worked fine.

  • Time Machine on my iMac won't open iPhoto. It goes to desktop screen automatically. When I select User/Picture/Iphoto library it only brings up the preview page with the size of the folder. I can't get into the library to look for lost photos.

    Time Machine on my iMac won't open iPhoto. It goes to desktop screen automatically. When I select User/Picture/Iphoto library it only brings up the preview page with the size of the folder. I can't get into the library to look for lost photos.

    Thank You. This helps me alot to get into the masters and to see events and photos in a utilitarian way, but it is not as easy as viewing the normal iphoto format to find photos.  Can I do something else or did I not do something right to not see normal iphoto in Time Machine ?

  • How to get users picture field displayed via _api/Web/Lists - SharePoint Online

    I have created a field of type Person or Group with "show field  picture only".
    When I look at the result I get back from the _api/web URL what I see is this as the field name:
        <d:OData__x0061_wo9Id m:type="Edm.Int32">25</d:OData__x0061_wo9Id>  
    I need to get the right properties like username,accontname etc..out and I think need to build this url below: 
        /_layouts/15/userphoto.aspx?size=M&accountname=name%40domain.com.au&url=https%3A%2F%2Fdomain-my.sharepoint.com%3A443%2FUser%2520Photos%2FProfile%2520Pictures%2Fusername_domain_com_au_MThumb.jpg
    to be able to get each users picture.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    To get the UserName or AccountName of a Person or Group column, you can take the URL below for a try:
    siteUrl + "/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('" + listName + "')/items(" + itemId + ")?$select=Title,OData__x0050_G1/Name,OData__x0050_G1/UserName,OData__x0050_G1/Title&$expand=OData__x0050_G1/Name,OData__x0050_G1/UserName,OData__x0050_G1/Title"
    If you want to get the Picture URL of an user, you can send another request to User Information list:
    siteUrl + "/_api/web/siteUserInfoList/Items"
    Best regards,

  • User pictures are not shown when users are added to person field in custom list

    Hi,
    Recently we have migrated our intranet from SP2010 to SP2013. We upgraded User profile service application, My sites and Intranet site to new environment. We haven't upgraded sites to use SP 2013 templates due to some business decisions. Everything
    is working fine and as expected.
    There are few lists in our environment where we have added users in a persons fields and allowed to show their pictures with details along with name. these user pictures are not being shown on to the page. After looking in picture property I found that "white
    Space" in a picture library name is replace by %2520 instead of %20 (/user%2520photos/profile%2520pictures).
    I tried reproducing problem on a new team site with SP 2010 template and it is reproduced however it is not occurring for a team site with SP 2013 template.
    Any suggestions would be very helpful for resolving this issue. Thanks in advance.
    -Amol Meshe

    We are experiencing the same issue. We get a /User%2520Photos/Profile%2520Pictures/ path anytime we use the people picker field with the option to display picture or the picture and details option.
    EDIT: This is only a problem on the list view. If you open the display form the image shows just fine. I can't see any setting view Edit Page and updating the web part that contains the list data to correct this.

  • User Pictures Disappearing

    I have set the user pictures several times for my two users, but now every time I log out/in or restart, they revert to the default.
    The pictures in question are from a folder nested in the Pictures folder.
    Is there a .plist file I should delete or something?
    I know this isn't mission critical, but thanks to anyone for help.

    Thanks for all your help. I got it to work anyway.

  • Hide user picture in iPad mail client

    Hi all,
    I apologize in advance if this is a really simple question, but it's been getting on my nerves a whole lot lately. I must have configured my email ages ago to come with a user picture, and now I'd love to find a way to remove it. I just find the idea of sending my picture to anyone who accesses their email via iPad rather creepy. Here's a screenshot attachment so you can see what I am talking about.
    Hope someone has the answer to this mystery!

    By Hypertext you mean a hyperlink that is using text with the hyperlink underline rather than the http:// address itself? I don't think you can in mail, there might be a third party mail application that would allow you though.

  • Photo Booth, Acount User Picture

    In one of our accounts the Acount User Picture button in Photo Booth dosen't do anything. In the other account it works fine. It's not really a big deal, but does anybody know if there's anyway to fix this? Thanks.
    MPB   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Unfortunately, I don't have an answer. Just want to let you know I am facing the very same problem. No matter what I do my user picture just doesn't change.
    In addition to that, my "recent pictures" is always empty.
    No clue on why is this happening.

  • Location of User Picture OS X 10.9.4

    When I started up Mavericks for the first time, I took my picture with my MacBook camera. Where is this photo located? It is not in my Library/Caches/ on my hard disk. It's still set as my user picture, and Messages picture. Anyone know where I can find the original?
    Mac OS X 10.9.4

    Might be corrupted Safari preferences ..
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    Click Go then move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the Desktop.  (not the Trash(
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, drag the .plist file on your desktop to the Trash. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.

  • Where can I find this user picture?

    This is sort of a strange question.
    At one time I created a new user and somehow the system lost the user picture I had selected. In its place it used a picture with a blue background and a black silhouette of a person.
    I grew attached to that image but am unable to find it anywhere. Does anywhere know where I can locate it on my machine?

    /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/User.menu/Contents/Resources/UsersPref.tiff or
    /System/Library/CoreServices/SecurityAgentPlugins/MCXMechanism.bundle/Contents/R esources/UsersPref.tiff
    Others in /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/

  • I want to delete some photos of the user pictures. Where can I find them?

    I want to delete some photos of the user pictures. Where can I find them?
    I mean those pictures, which come on when clicking on the user-picture, here "latest".

    Unfortunately I don't speak German.
    Go back to Recents (Letzte), select a picture, and then hit the delete key. Delete all that you want to. At this point the 'Done' button will be grayed out.
    Click the Show All button at the top left.
    Then go back to see if the user pictures were removed. It worked for me.

  • Removing User picture

    I noticed recently that every time I send mail, my picture (user picture from System Preferences I suppose) is sent every time and there are no options in Mail to add it or remove it. Part of the problem is that people on PCs receive my picture as an attachment along the real attachments. How do I remove it?
    P.S. The picture is one of the User pictures in Account Settings.
    Thank you
    louis

    Go to your contact information in the Address Book.
    Select Edit to edit your contact information.
    Select the "Me" picture next to your name and then select delete to remove it.

  • Relinking Library/User Pictures to Users & Groups

    My continuing saga of the missing default icons still eludes me even after the latest Mountain Lion update. I happened to find the /library /user pictures folders intact with all of the default icons YET regardless of System re-installs and permissions repairs I still see this under my User & Groups panel.
    SOMEONE OUT THERE MUST KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS. I've certainly given up on Apple Geniuses who have sent me down the re-install, re download Mountain Lion route. See attached image.

    Thanks for sharing, unfortunately I'm still without avatars but am not about to kill tonnes of time wipeing everything off and performing a clean install for an Apple created bug. It's honestly not worth it. Unless of course there is a really quick way to replace everything I've currently installed.

  • User Pictures not changing

    So I decided to change my user picture from an apple standard to a photobooth picture. However, the button in photobooth seems to do nothing. When I open up system prefs and set it manually (select the picture, adjust the size, hit "set"), it changes in the well, but not in the list to the right (like it does when I set and apple picture) and when I quit out of system preferences my changes are GONE.
    Anyone have a fix for this?
    thanks!

    Try logging out and back in. Or, restart.
