OS X V10.7 Lion :: Change Desktop Background Picture?

Jul 5, 2012

I have Lion I have Aperture 3.   

I set the desktop background picture to photos on Aperture through right mouse clicking to "change destop background".

All the photos fhrough Aperture are present. I click the photo and it changes. I also use the screen saver using aperture photos. All of these photos are on an external drive and has been working flawlessly with Lion on my older imac.

Last week I bought a new imac with Lion.  Everything is working the same as above except for when I shut down the imac. When I boot it back up, the mac supplied image of the milky way appears and the photo I had on the desktop prior to shutting down has been replaced by this. 

The external is mounted and the screen saver after 5 minutes will show my Aperture photos....it is just the desktop photo that has been replaced..

Mac OS X (10.7.4), 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7

OS X :: Desktop Background Picture Keeps Reverting To An Old Picture From Months Ago?

Feb 22, 2009

As stated in title, the desktop picture will randomly revert to a picture I had up there months ago, usually when I run the battery all the way down on my unibody MB, but also when I change display settings when i plug into an external monitor.

Do I just need just reset the PRAM or is there something else I'm missing.

BTW, I have searched and I know I only have a few posts...

Jun 29, 2012

I logged into my macbook pro the other day and I noticed that my picture was blank  (by blank I mean that silhouette icon that you have with new accounts). So i opened my addressbook and reset my picture. A few minutes later, I noticed that my profile picture was reset to blank again so I changed it again and waited. Right before my eyes, the picture changed back to the silhouette again.

IMac :: Picture Enlarged When Set As Desktop

Feb 19, 2010

My most beloved Kitty girl had to be put down the other day and I SO want her photo as my desktop. I took an old photo of her and cropped it and went to (on Iphoto) share and set desktop and I had it perfect. Then I played around with other photos of her to see if I liked them better and when I came back to her photo and did a set desktop it was WAY too big. I went to the original on my camera and transferred it to I photo - fixed it and did a set desktop but it is way to big.

Software :: Desktop Picture And Folder Gone

Aug 28, 2008

I just restarted my mac (Powermac G5 OSX 10.4.11) after I opened iTunes and found no songs in my music box and the song I tried to open wouldn't play. when the computer started up all my desktop picture were gone and all the folders on the desktop were also gone. All the system settings were reset. The content in my storage is all there except a folder which I had open when I restarted - my music folder is basically all gone (including all the music I was working on) except for the one folder I had open in the music file. I would hate to think all the folders are just gone.

One of the relatives were complaining about a fuzzy/colourful line over their iMac screen.. I figured it would be a display/hardware issue.. Until I remote desktop'd into the machine. Somehow, the line is showing through Remote Desktop..

Its' just on the background, and stays over the background picture no matter what (I've tried to change it, etc.) Tried to repair permissions too - nothing.

Intel Mac :: Desktop Picture Imprinted On Screen?

Apr 8, 2012

For the last year, I've had the same desktop picture on my iMac screen (picture of a cruise ship). I've never noticed this problem until today: the lines and contour of the cruise ship are imprinted on my screen. When I change my desktop picture to a solid color, I still see the lines and contour of the cruise ship! Is there a way to fix this or is my monitor pretty much garbage. As a graphic designer, these lines are very distracting and I can't work like that...

OS X :: How To Delete Picture Folders From Desktop And Screensaver Preferences

Dec 14, 2009

I was cleaning up some of the unused pictures that came pre-installed with Leopard on my iMac, such as the abstracts and solid colours, that are used for changing the desktop backgrounds; but after getting rid of the original pictures and folders I am still left with the folders as being able to be selected when I try to change a desktop background.

I can't use the minus sign to remove the folders from the list.

Is there some other way of removing the folders?

It's not really a big deal, but it is kind of annoying having empty folders showing up on the list.

Can anyone shed some light on this problem?
