I am back in a Mac after 11 years with out!

My wife and I are set up as different users. For some reason the picture she chooses as her profile pic keeps changing back to a golf ball every few days or hours, very random. Any thoughts?
She does unlock first then locks it back after.

I credit "geneg1" on another forum with this solution:

1. Go into Address Book > Card > Go to My Card

2. Edit > Copy

3. Edit > Delete

4. Edit > Paste

5. Open System Preferences > Users & Groups, select your Admin user and pick the photo you want

6. Go back to Address Book, click Card > Make This My Card

That should make her picture stick. Let us know how it goes.

Glad that it worked for you :). I hope it fixed the OP's problem too.

Cheers!
