So, I know this has been discussed before, but I can't find a sollution that works in Mountain Lion.
I'd like to be able to locate the image file which I'm using for my user account icon. It also appears in iMessage and Contacts, but I can't drag it to the the desktop. Because I don't know the file name, I can't search for it.
Does anyone know where it is stored? Or how I can extract it?
OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
Not sure about the user account images (other than the system default ones), but the images as displayed in Contacts are in ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/Images.
I don't have an AddressBook folder in my Application Support. There are only seven folders, including Adobe, Macromedia, and so on.
Hi,
Previously in iChat the "Recent Pics" were stored and shown in the Drop down in the Buddy list.
The place was ~/Library/Images
In Mountain Lion it appears that the Drop Down shows "Recent Pics" but is pulling them from several sources.
The Messages Drop down
The Recent Picture Folder has these:-
Some Match and some don't.
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.AddressBook holds the Zebra and copies of my Sig and thre Union Flag.
At present I cannot find the ones the System Preferences > User and Groups > your account has as Pic are stored.
Some of the pics are the Apple Default ones. (Hardrive Name/Library/User Pictures)
You can also take a Snap Shot on Macs with cameras and I guess it is this that you are after ?

HI,
I have one User pic from the Snap shot method and it is in Hard Drive (name)/Library/Caches as com.apple.user501pictureCache.tiff
The 501 refers to the number given to the first Mac User Account created which is obviously the Admin account.
Your Pic may have a different User ID number
