Why does my profile pic default to iCloud pic?

Can I have a different picture on my login screen on my iMac rather than the on that is on my icloud profile?

Thank you very much KC7GNM. How did you figure this out??? I have searched for a few weeks on and off on how to fix this problem. Wife switched from an iphone to a droid. Just removed her iphone and her phone number from the apple profile with the link you gave and sent her a message, still stuck as the "imessage" default and then my iphone detected she was no longer using imessage. Now it sends her SMS as it should. Great work!

Where do you get this problem?
Is this with the spell checking dictionary or with the language setting?

Why does my itunes page default to Spanish not English?

Why does my iTunes page default to Spanish?

This is often due to the fact that your account is not synced with the new iTunes Radio capabilities, and you have to sign-out and sign in to retreive the new capabilities.
Visit the Store menu and sign out... , and then sign in ... and try again.

Why does an iPhone/iPad default calendar change?

Hi,
I'm working with several hundred iPhones and iPads, and I'm having difficulty understanding what causes someone's default calendar to change.
I push an ActiveSync profile through an MDM solution, and on a brand new phone that becomes the default calendar.
Sometimes when I deal with a device later, I see that the default calendar has been changed to either the iPhone calendar, or an iCloud calendar.
What I want to know is *WHY* a calendar changes? Does it change when someone:
adds an iCloud account
adds the gmail/yahoo/outlook app
adds another native mail account
whenever there's an activesync issue
connects to a computer with iTunes
accepts a meeting invite
Really any information or experience anyone can provide is helpful. I want to find out what circumstances or changes would require someone to verify their default calendar.
thanks!

That's actually become our resolution is to have them change it back. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Unfortunately I can't tell what changes it in the first place. I've several devices of my own, and immediately after enrolling in the MDM, one of the devices has the calendar set as the activesync one, and another is the on-device calendar.
There has to be something that triggers this, but I haven't been able to effectively reproduce the problem, but I would expect that the ActiveSync calendar should become the default calendar, but perhaps my expectations are misplaced.

Why does my name appear on the iCloud account for everyone in my family?

There are four members of my family, and we each have our own Apple ID and password that we use to sign into iCloud. We also use a variety of devices -- iPhone, iPad, Safari on Mac, etc. When any of us sign on to iCloud, we see our own individual photo, but only my (Dad) name! For example, using her laptop, my daughter logs onto iCloud via Safari, using her own Apple ID and password, and then in the upper right hand of the screen there's a small photo of her and then my name! The problem is that we're now sharing pictures via Photo Stream, and when any of us make a comment, it seems that I'm the (only) one making the comment. I already went to the Apple Store and showed the Genius Bar guy what I'm talking about and he had no idea why this was happening or how to fix it. Help please!

Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to the state it’s in now.
In the Finder, hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the menu bar. From the Library folder, move the following items to the Trash, if they exist:
Application Support/Dock
Caches/com.apple.dock
and move the following item(s) to the Desktop:
Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.dock.*.plist
Preferences/com.apple.dock.db
Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
Here “*” stands for a long string of letters and numbers. Log out, log back in, and test. If you still have the issue, put the item(s) on the Desktop back where they came from and post again. Otherwise, move the items on the Desktop to the Trash and empty.

Why does user_pref("capability.policy.default.Location.href", "allAccess"); no longer work in FireFox 4? How can I re-enable this feature?

On upgrading to FireFox 4 from 3.6.15, I noticed that my capability.policy.default items in the prefs.js file were no longer working (the custom site that I run locally needs access to this attribute, amongst others) - how can I go about returning this feature back on?
Example CAPS entry:
user_pref("capability.policy.default.Location.href", "allAccess");
I've had to downgrade again to 3.6.15 until I can get this to work.
Tested on Windows XP (SP3), and using existing/new profiles in FF 4.0 and using prefs.js and user.js - nothing can get the Javascript code to read the location.href and getting an error generated in the error console.
Also tested on Mac OS X 10.6.7 with FF 4.0 - still no luck getting capability.policies to work.
Please help...

I've been beating my head against this problem for a few hours, and I finally solved it. I'd been trying to set a capability policy using the "magic" default policy, and nothing would work - I could disable properties and functions of the Window object, but not the Location object.
It turns out that if I set a custom policy name, and named the specific sites I wanted the policy to apply to, it works! The only hitch is that you'll have to build a whitelist of sites that are allowed to have this kind of access, instead of allowing any site to access it by default. I think this is prudent security policy, in order to prevent XSS attacks.
So, for your case, instead of this:
user_pref("capability.policy.default.Location.href", "allAccess");
use this instead:
user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "hrefaccess");
user_pref("capability.policy.hrefaccess.sites", "http://example.com http://www.example.com");
user_pref("capability.policy.hrefaccess.Location.href", "allAccess");
I haven't tested this code, but a similar implementation for my problem did the trick. I hope this helps!

Why does the Firefox 4 default theme set colors that look odd in Windows 7?

On two different Windows 7 PC's I installed FF4 today. I also enabled the Menu bar as I prefer the additional functions to be handy.
The Menu bar is a Gray and light gray color combo that not only looks awkward, but is difficult to read. It seems to follow the Windows 7 standard theme, but doesn't do it very well.
Google searching the issue I see a few other users complaining of the same issue, but I have yet to see an easy fix.
In addition to the bars being colored awkwardly, icons for my extensions that appear in the upper right are also tough to read.
This was not the case with FF3.x.

@claykin,
did you solve your problem? I've just migrated to W7 and appear to have the same issue. On XP default FF4 theme is gray, which actually suited me. Now on W7 Firefox 4 default theme suddely becomes BLUE !?
What system color does FF4 pick? My OS window color is black, where does blue come from?

Why does it take so long for iCloud to sync?

So I created a document and edited the document in Pages on my iPad. When I was done, I closed it and it automatically uploaded to the iCloud like its supposed to. Then I logged into my MacBook and logged into iCloud.com and the document said "updating." I mean it took 2 minutes to update on my iPhone but iCloud.com hasn't updated and its been an hour.
What is the problem with iCloud.com? And why is it so slow?
Mike

8 hours later and it is reading "finishing sync" which I believe is past Step 5 and I have no idea when the "finish" will occur and am afraid to disconnect/interrupt the sync. The current version of itunes (11) is installed and syncing Microsoft Outlook (about 400 contacts, calendar, etc) for the first time. What should I do next besides wait?

TS3999 Why does my outlook 2007 update from iCloud?

iPhone to could works, as does cloud to iPhone. iPhone to cloud to 2nd iPhone if fine too. Outlook to iPhone also works. The olypart that is not working is iCloud to outlook?

Verify your upgradeSQL made it thru by looking in
~/Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications
on the Mac where you sync your iPhone for the YourApp.ipa file. Copy this file to a working folder and run this Terminal command:
unzip YourApp.ipa
and look for upgradeSQL.
BTW, this assumes you purchased a copy of you own App.

Why does all the apps - default and the ones I downloaded - shut down by themselves repeatedly?

For the past few days, every single one of my apps seems to shut down by themselves, as soon as I try to open them. I can try to open them several times in a go but still the same thing. Even restarted my phone a few times and deleted the background app, which usually works...
Also it doesn't save any of my photos or theres a plain grey 'picture' with 'JPEG' on it. Moreover, on my camera roll, when I tap a photo to enlarge it, none of them focuses, so all them are blurry. I can't seem to send messages either: that said I usually get all my notifications shown on my lock screen, but lately it doesn't show at all.
Another thing, my phone keeps repeatedly buzzing when there is no notification - or email - shown either on the lock screen and/or home screen.
Please help! I'm running out of options what to do!

Your best bet is to back up your device to iCloud or iTunes, then reset your device to Factory Settings (Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Content & Settings, but do not restore it from the backup. Add your apps back onto your phone one at a time (download them from iTunes in the Cloud by tapping on the App Store icon, then on Updates>Purchased>All, then click on one or two apps and download them and see if the problem persists.
Continue to download apps to see if you start running into the issue again at any point. If you are able to get all the apps downloaded and functioning without any issues, then reset the device back to factory settings, and then restore it from your backup, and see if the issues starts up again.
If it does start up again, then there is something in your backup that is corrupted, and your best bet at that point is to "rebuild" your device from Factory Settings rather than to keep the backup on your device.

Why does Apple Mail window default to wrong monitor?

I have two 30" Apple monitors with a MacPro 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon running Mavericks. In previous systems I would have my Apple Mail open on the second monitor. Since Mavericks nothing I do will let Mail open anywhere but in its default position, which is upper left corner of main monitor. Very frustrating. I must manually move it every time I launch Mail. Any solutions out there?
fyi - iTunes window opens to the same position where I had closed it, which is on my second monitor where I want it.

I have this with Firefox once in a while. To get it back where I want it, I open FF and drag it to the display I want it on & maximize it. Then, I open iTunes on the display I DON'T want FF in, and maximize it. Open a few tabs and close the window. When I reopen it iTunes prevents FF from opening on the other display and it goes back to the secondary.
That may or may not work with Mail

Why does my background pic look larger than it should and is not as clear as the original?

When islet a pic as background it says I can adjust size, but cannot in fact the pic gets larger and not as clear, this started with IOS7

This is due to the parallax effect in iOS 7. As you tilt the phone to the left or right, the background image moves with it, to give the home screen an illusion of depth.

What kind of file is dir.data? What program do you think should open it? A .doc file is a Microsoft Word document. You could use AppleWorks or even TextEdit to open it. If you click on the file once to select it, you should be able to choose "Get Info" from the File menu. In the next window, you should be able to select AppleWorks or TextEdit to open the file.

My iCloud Uploads folder on my PC - does not upload pics - why not?

My iCloud Uploads folder on my PC Windows 7 - does not upload pics - why not? The iCould Control Panel has the correct folder listed.
The download seems to be working - i take a pick from my iPhone - it ends up in my PC folder - (12 minutes late however).
But putting two pics in the uploads folder - they don't move. iPad 2 and iPhone 3GS on iOS 5
Any ideas?

I tried un-installing and then left the default folders this time (last time i changed it from my C to my E drive) seems to work using the Default folder.
