Where is the original user profile picture?

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone can help me locate the original user picture I took when I first started my Macbook Pro.
I accidently changed it to a photo i took on photobooth and I can't find it anymore.
The old one still appears on ''Messeges" as my picture but is nowhere to be found. I've looked in the Library Cache, User profile pics, etc.
Please help me if you know where I can find it.
Thank you

  • Set User Profile Picture with CMD

    Can we set the an user profile picture from a shared folder (\\SERVER\UserPictures\%USERNAME%.jpg) via CMD? How to do that?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi
    I have been struggling with the same problem for a couple of days now. I thought I had it figured out by creating an "accountpicture-ms" file on my own computer and coping it to
    %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\AccountPictures and set the value of the file in: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AccountPicture\SourceId" but as it is already stated above that does not do it.
    After doing some registry monitoring when clicking on the "accountpicture-ms" file, that does set the profile picture correct, I noticed some activity in a hidden folder named:
    C:\Users\Public\AccountPictures\S-1-5-21-933334596-4129812972-2891473731-1001
    (The last part of this dir should be changed with the unique GUID you got for your user)
    In that folder I found 5 versions of my profile pictures in jpg format, that is created when setting the profile pictures.
    The Operation does also set 5 Registry Keys here:
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AccountPicture\Users\5-21-933334596-4129812972-2891473731-1001\
    The keys are:
    Image40
    Image96
    Image200
    Image240
    Image448
    The keys are pointing to the 5 jpg files mentioned above. I have not yet tested if this does the trick, but I will post my script here, if I get it to work..!

  • User Profile Pictures not deleting / replacing

    Hello,
    I have been struggling with this issue for a couple of weeks and think I may need some help.  I have a user profile sync application which works fine, it syncs several attributes from AD into SharePoint, it also exports user profile pictures back to
    AD for Exchange and Lync to use, this all works fine.
    I was asked to replace a picture for a user, which I did using the 'Manage User Profiles' page in Central Admin.  I didn't realise there was an issue until I was asked again a week later, it seems the update had not worked.  I tried again, and
    lo and behold the picture managed to revert back to the old one again.
    After a lot of messing around deleting the picture, syncing, adding the new picture, syncing again etc I could not get the new picture to stay, the old one kept coming back. I do not think the issue is related to the sync, but more with SharePoint itself,
    here is a symptom I believe is related:-
    I delete a user's picture from 'Manage User Profiles', the picture is gone and the user's mysite page shows the placeholder pic.
    Looking in the mysites site collection in User%20Photos/Forms/AllItems.aspx the 3 pictures for the user have disappeared.  However if I browse to the url of the picture - User%20Photos/Profile%20Pictures/*username*_SThumb.jpg (or mthumb or lthumb) the
    picture appears in my browser.
    Next if I add a new picture for the same user through central admin, I then see the new picture in their mysite, I can also see 3 thumbnails of the user's photo under the mysites site collection in User%20Photos/Forms/AllItems.aspx
    So far so good, however, if I browse to the url of the picture (including the filename as above) then I am shown the old picture :S
    So it appears that the pictures in User%20Photos/Profile%20Pictures/_w and User%20Photos/Profile%20Pictures/_t are updating with the new picture, but the pictures in User%20Photos/Profile%20Pictures/ do not get updated, or even deleted properly when they
    are removed.
    Hope somebody can shed some light on this as it's really annoying me now! Thanks :)

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that the replacing picture not work properly in MySite.
    I tried to reproduce the issue in my environment(SharePoint server 2013+SP1), it works without any issue.
    Did the issue occur for all the users?
    To narrow down whether the issue is related to the User Profile service, you can use other accounts to check whether it works.
    If that is the case, you can recreate the user profile service application to check whether it works.
    If your environment does not install any updates, you can install SP1 or latest update to check whether it works.
    You can also check the event log and ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred.
    To check event log, click the Start button and type “Event Viewer” in the Search box.
    For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\LOGS

  • There was an error opening the database for the library "/Users/stacia134/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary".  Why am I getting this message and how do I correct it so that I can open Aperture????  any suggestions would be most appreciated

    Then I'd check the system drive, if it has problems.
    To check your System drive boot into the Recovery Partition, see: OS X Lion: About Lion Recovery
    Restart your Mac and hold down the Command key and the R key (Command-R), and keep holding them until the Apple icon appears, indicating that your Mac is starting up.
    You will see a panel, where you can use Disk Utility to check your System Drive.

  • Iphone photo transfer choas: where is the original image ?

    folder structure is confusing:
    iphoto library
    modified
    2007
    Roll 312
    if modified, where is the ******* original ?

    Are you transferring photos from iPhoto to your iPhone?
    The folder structure on the iPhone should be as follows:
    Camera Roll - stores photos taken by the iPhone only.
    Photo Library - access to all photos transferred to your iPhone from your computer via the iTunes sync/transfer process. Photos take by the iPhone are available in the Camera Roll folder only.
    Below Photo Library are select iPhoto albums (or select folders containing photos) transferred from your computer to your iPhone.
    If you transferred one iPhoto album or separate folder named 2007 containing photos to your iPhone which includes 100 photos - it should be available on the iPhone as follows:
    Photo Library (100)
    2007 (100)
    If you transferred 3 iPhoto albums or separate folders named 2005, 2006 and 2007 containing a total photo count of 100, it should be as follows:
    Photo Library (100)
    2005 (35)
    2006 (35)
    2007 (30)
    You can view the 30 photos in the 2007 album or folder only by selecting it or view all 100 photos in all albums or folders by selecting Photo Library.
    I'm not sure where the modified folder is coming from but unless you have an iPhoto album or pictures folder name modified which was selected for transfer from your computer to the iPhone, something is wrong but the original photos should be available on your computer.

  • My iphone doesn't recognize the user ID that the itunes account on my computer recognizes.  It was changed on the computer because the original user ID email address is no longer valid

    My ipone doesn't recognize the user ID that the itunes account on my computer recognizes.  It was changed on the computer because the original user ID email address is no longer valid.  Can someone please help me with this?  Thanks!

    Hi there,
    Thanks for the reply.  I did think that could be the case but then other books would also show up as apps on phone but not counted as an app.  Maybe book apps downloaded from the app store work in this way whereas books bought from the ibooks app show in ibooks and not as apps.
    I guess that would make sense, it must be because they are books but downloaded from the app store rather than the book store so they are visible as an app but don't actually get counted as an app.
    Would you think that's the case too?
    Thanks

  • Error - The registration of the service "User Profile Service" has failed. The user profile can not be loaded

    I am running an environment with an Active Directory and Terminal Servers.
    I have searched high and low for resolutions to this error but I cannot find anything related to my situation, let me explain further.
    The fixes I found are related to local users only.
    When I create a new user in the Active Directory I provide the paths to the profile folder in the "Remote Desktop Profile" and "Profile tab"  lets say for example \\ad001\home\%username% and \\ad001\profil\%username% .
    I give rights to the user to read/write the "home" folder which is mapped for folder redirection.  An I know that when the user first logs on it should create a "v2.%username%" folder upon successful logon.  This is when I am
    presented with the error message below:
    "The registration of the service "User Profile Service" has failed. 
    The user profile can not be loaded"
    Does anyone have any experience with this or know a suitable fix.  Again this is for the "Roaming" profile creation no local.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Did you receive for any one user or for all users?
    Have you tried to solve the issue by fixing the user account profile?
    For that you can adjust the registry setting “ProfileImagePath” with
    particular SID of that user under below mention path.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
    Also if this can’t resolve the issue you can try to delete the SID of that user or renaming the old and and then check the result again by creating new profile for that users.
    More information.
    You receive a "The User Profile Service failed the logon” error message
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947215
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • Apply the default user logon picture to all users

    Hi
    I applied gpo "apply the default user logon picture to all users"
     Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\User Accounts\Apply the default user logon picture to all users
    C:\programdata\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\user.bmp  --> renamed my company log to user.bmp.
    Taken backup of old user.bmp.
    But policy is not working.
    Environment:
    Windows Server 2008 R2
    Clients:Windows 7 and Windows 8

    Hi S.Vijay Kumar,
    Based on my understanding, the GPO which configured the
    Apply the default user logon picture to all users would not apply successfully. What’s more, you have customized the default user logon picture
    %ProgramData%\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\user.bmp. Right?
     Firstly, please check if the scope of this GPO and the setting of Filtering are correct.
    Secondly, please follow the steps below to check if the GPO is applied to these Windows XP clients:
    Click Start, type rsop.msc in the search box to access
    Resultant set of policy.
    Check if the GPO is applied to these clients and the setting of the GPO is correct.
    In addition, it would be helpful for future troubleshooting if you could help to collect the following information:
    Did the GPO fail to apply for all the computers or only some computers?
    Can you set the user.bmp as the user logon picture
    manually?
    Regards,
    Lany Zhang

    The default user account picture is stored here.
    C:\programdata\Microsoft\User Account Pictures\user.bmp
    It should just be a matter have copying the picture you want to that location and over writing what is there.
    or....
    Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Control Panel\User Accounts\Apply the default user logon picture to all users
    You can also configure this by a registry setting;
     [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
      UseDefaultTile = 1
    The picture that you configure, will not be loaded until the user account will actually be created on the pc. Meaning the first time a >new< user will log on to a pc, they will have no picture shown at all using their login screen (this is default
    behavior). Same will occur if you enable the policy don't display last user name. However, once they log in the picture will be shown in the start menu, and if they lock their pc the image will also be shown

  • Using copyprofile to customize the default user profile

    Well to get to the problem I'll just explain what I do, which doesn't work.
    1. I install windows 8.1 pro (x64) on a test-pc.
    2. After installation I press cntrl shift f3 to get into audit mode.
    3. I install all software/drivers etc. I also place shortcuts and change the background.
    4. I insert my usb, which contains a file called "unattend.xml" in which this is written:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend">
        <settings pass="specialize">
            <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
                <CopyProfile>true</CopyProfile>
            </component>
        </settings>
        <cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:e:/usb/windows%207%20en%208/win81pro/sources/install.wim#Windows 8.1 Pro (x64)" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" />
    </unattend>
    5. After that I use CMD and use this command: C:\windows\system32\sysprep\sysprep /oobe /generalize /shutdown /unattend:F:\unattend.xml
    6. when it is done working and turns off, I turn it back on and walk through the oobe. After that my shortcuts and background are standard windows 8.1 and not the ones I used.
    Can anyone see what I did wrong? I can't seem to figure it out. Thanks!
    Btw: This unattend.xml file is created with windows system image manager of the same install.wim which is used to install that OS.
    Note: If I generalize a pc after an installation, doesn't that cancel the activation? So when I bring it to a customer he needs to fill in the activation key? 

    Hi,
    After the step 5 (I mean after we customize the default user profile and reference PC sutts down), generally as I know, we should then capture image, you can boot into Windows PE and then capture the Windows installation by using DISM.
    See full guide in the link below
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-in/library/hh825135.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
    The article also contains some conditions in which user profile settings aren't successfully copied, such as you can not use a domain account, there are no additional user accounts other than the built-in administrator account that you configured,, etc and
    sysprep will remove all the security settings of your Windows including windows activation.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately, you cannot do very much with your phone unless you get assistance from the previous owner, they should either provide you with the password to unlock it or remove their account from the phone entirely remotely through iCloud.com > Find My Phone.

    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
    If you cannot get this information from the seller

    You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

    I was using Aperture (3.4.1), when he appeared a notice that asked me to stop the Mac with the power button.

    After a system crash your Aperture Library may be corrupted, because Aperture may not have been able to finish the ongoing database transactions.
