clear custom image Q

Is there a bulk command to delete the custom image from all cards?

Sorry, there's no such command that I can find. But your custom image could not have been added to all your cards unless you did it, or there are spooks using your Mac without your knowledge.

Address Book won't let me delete the custom image on my own card

You tried the Clear Custom Image menu command? If that didn't work, then you'd have to delete (or remove) the actual image you don't want from the Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Images folder. If you have more than one image there, you'll first have to figure out which one you don't want using the QuickImage Plugin. You Control-Click on each image and choose QuickImage > View from the contextual menu and that will display the image; then just remove or delete the one you don't want. Address Book should not be running when you do this.

hello, I solved it for real, as asked.

I copied the System icons for guest user, converted them to tiff, and packed them with instructions, basically adding them to the user icons folder.

It needs to be known to people that the user login picture you have for OS X is used for your adress book. Changing the icon in iChat for example to the mobileme-cloud didn't affect the one in address book, nor the login one for OS X. It is a useful request to have a system wide option in the accounts Preferences (IMHO) to set the desired picture once and for all system wide and for internet visibility (iChat)

To me it's a shame to call this thread solved, and I cannot help by posting there:
