Address book : problem

badtz

When I click on the picture icon in the address book, how am I able to take OFF a picture associated with a contact?



I'm unable to do this?



the only work around I can think of is a transparent .gif......



thanks?

drag & drop to the trash ?

badtz

i can't because when I click on the picture, the menu pops up to replace it with another picture......

Go to the Card menu and choose Clear Custom Image.



Note: if you have an image set through your mac.com webmail preferences, your own icon will revert to that if you clear the custom one. To rid yourself of *that* icon, you have to remove it from your e-mail prefs.

Glad it worked.



I guess I didn't need to edit that message after all.

There is a temp. fix to get Contact pictures to show up in the Mail app. It's kind of a pain, but if you like it (and don't have that many contacts with photos) try this:



In your Library folder create a folder called 'Images' and in that folder create another folder called 'People'. Now in your People folder put a copy of each person's photo that you want to appear in his/her mail message, and name each photo with the person's email address and the extension ".tiff" (NOT ".tif"), for example '[email protected]'.



I'm pretty sure this works but its kind of a pain. I'd just wait 'til Apple fixes the problem.

thanks for the tip michael!



errrr, with all my contacts, i guess it's better to wait



hopefully this will be fixed soon
