Q: Apple ID imposes its picture on gmail account. I can't change the picture in gmail.
My apple ID has been set with a silly icon my friend has chosen when she was setting it up for me. Now the photo appears in my gmail mails, although my gmail chat still retained my old gmail profile picutre. However, like I say, when I sent/receive mails, my account is accompanied by the ridiculous icon.
I have changed my icon on iCloud, disconnected gmail from my mac mail, even disconnected/removed the apple ID on my MAC and yet in my Gmail account the icon/photo still appears. How can I change that?
OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3), gmail-apple id sync

i came across this prob today. I found that my random photo appeared not only on gmail (I originally suspected gmail contact/addressbook issue) but also my other business addresses too. It was the apple address book where my photo was attached - removing/replacing this photo in the apple address book (where my email account was linked to) resolved the issue.
