"No Items" listed under defaults tab of Users & Groups

After Mountain Lion upgrade from Snow Leopard, "No Items" listed under default images from Users & Groups as well as Contacts (which) I'm sure share the same library. Have repaired permissions, redownloaded and re-installed Mountain Lion as recommended by the Apple Geniuses, but to no avail. Anyone got any ideas? See image.

After upgrade(from snow leopard), user picture list have no items. (Users & Groups)



Finally, I got the solution.



The key is to delete every '.DS_Store' files in the directory '/Library/User Pictures/'.



Open Terminal application and follow these.


1. Chagne directory by command below :

cd '/Library/User Pictures'


2. Listing all files including hiddens in the directory by command below :

ls -al


3. If there is a .DS_Store file. Remove the file by command below :

sudo rm .DS_Store

(It need user password for execute)



Then, it'll show every pictures in 'Users & Groups' control panel.
