Ever since updating to OS X Maverick 10.9.4, I am not able to save my background picture. It keeps returning to the default picture. I am not very computer savvy.
Info:
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)
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...
I like putting different background pictures on my various folders, but I cant get the Mac OS X HD background to stick. My user folder sticks around after logout, but the Mac OS X one reverts to what I have set as defaults.
I'm the only user (therefore administrator as well), so I don't see what the problem is.
I am using MAC OS X 10.9.4 ...
I want to change my user profile picture to a custom picture on my hard disk - but can't seem to figure out how. It only gives me the option to choose from the default pictures ...

My wife is looking to add the attached picture to the bottom of a wedding shower invitation, but the paper is lavender. How do I move the actual image to a blank canvas.
Right now, a white square is showing up around the image. Would I use something like Photoshop?
I have a Macbook Pro. I want to make a picture my background, and I do it fine, but I just want to know how I can edit the picture maybe so that when it fits my screen it doesn't lose quality.

Was forced to reload my OS. Now I am unable to open several apps whether I am on the OS or safe mode. Example; I can click on contacts and nothing happens. I can open my apple mail but can not view the email nor click on it to open. I can not open terminal. I can not open software update.

Scroll to the bottom right and see the pic of the MBP/laptop -- a bluish background.
Could this be the new background coming our way?
I need your expertise in figuring out whether my 12" PB G4 is worth salvaging. I tripped over the cord a few nights ago and it came crashing to the ground, landing open in a V. I was sure the screen's hinge would be damaged, but it wasn't, and the screen appears to be a little blurry in the middle, but avoided catastrophic damage. Here's what happens, though. When I turn it on, it loads, though it takes 20 mins to get up and running. Then it loads my background picture, but nothing on my desktop. And the toolbar at the bottom shows up, but if you click an icon, the computer does the spinning wheel for about 5 mins and then the spinning wheel disappears and you're still just looking at the background picture.I'm really upset at the prospect of having lost all of my files. At the same time, this computer is 4+ years old, so it seems silly to spend $500 on getting it fixed. Does anyone recognize what might be wrong here -- is it something I might be able to repair on my own? Or that could be done cheaply at a repair shop? Or is this poor laptop finally d-e-a-d ?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI downloaded a picture of the black Apple Linen texture online.I wanted to change the background of the finder. The picture is 1920x1080 so I figured the size would be fine I have the 21.5" iMac.But when I change to the picture it doesn't fill the page, but fills the top left of the page. The area of the picture doesn't change when I change the size of my Finder.I also downloaded a picture of size 128x128 The picture didn't stretch, it just took the size in the top left of my finder screen.

I can not see my desktop background picture, I can only see a blank grey screen. I check the system preferences and it says that I have chosen a desktop picture from my pictures file but it is not showing up.

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..

I have two users setup on my late 2011 15" MBP with OSX 10.7.4. Occaissionaly when I utilitze Fast User Switching and switch to another user, the background picture will disappear and revert to the default blue background. I do not know what causes it or triggers it. So far I've fixed it by resetting the background back to the desired picture.

Is it possible to execute the keyboard shortcut, "Save picture of a selected area as a file" by clicking the track ball on the Mighty Mouse? I'm thinking that I just need to find the location of this action and set it up on the Mighty Mouse.

I have students that keep changing the desktop background. I haven't found a way to disable it. I have it setup so they can't get to any of the preferences.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a fairly big photo library in iphoto 09 and I am wondering if there is an option to save information like location, description, date etc to the actual picture file. The reason I ask is because when I went to export some pictures it didnt save any of this information whatsoever and with 4000 photos thats a lot of work to go add all that information back to. Anyone else have experience with this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen trying to Save a document, I am presented with the Save As dialog. The file name has a serial number added to the old file name and the default destination is the Documents file. This happens whether I have tried to save using Command-S or using the Save option in the File menu. This started after I upgraded to Mavericks.

It is definitely important to me though. I downloaded the free trial of Pixelmator to my new 2013 Mac Pro and I can not seem to load any images. I see plenty of controls, but the center of my screen is my screen saver and no picture to edit. I am clicking file, open and then the image I want, but nothing happens.

Display flatters for up to one second while doing the regular boot.Means it gets blue with Apple logo bright - like a negative of original screen.Was not observed with Mavericks first releases .1, .2.iMac Late 2013, 27 inch, NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M 1024 MB.Again possibly a problem with SMC and it's reset as first solution candidate,or rather graphics?
