OS X V10.7 Lion :: Background Picture Disappears When Switching Users?

Jun 22, 2012

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.

Jun 2, 2014

when I switch users on my mid 2007 iMac (with Mavericks 10.9.3), the background pictures resizes and the dock doesnt load. I've noted also that switching applications via command+tab doesn't show the icons of the applications, and when accessing "Notifications", it doesnt draw correctly on the screen (the area of the notifications center appears on the right of the screen, but an extension of the notifications is also drawn under hte desktops icons).

OS X V10.7 Lion :: User Picture Disappears After Shutdown

May 13, 2012

Has anyone noticed a missing User Picture after Shutdown?

I've had the same one for well over a year and then last week I noticed on start up at the User screen the picture was missing.I went into  system preferences > users/groups > and pulled down the drp down menu besides the picture square and chose a small avatar picture to use. All seemed good. Shut the Mac down and then restarted again and it had gone again. Tried another picture and same thing. always had a picture from my library and not an Apple system one.

Changing Lion OS X Finder Background To Picture

Apr 14, 2012

I 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.

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..

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...

OS X :: Background Picture Resets

Jan 2, 2010

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.

OS X Mavericks :: Switching USB Scanner Between Users On Same Machine

Aug 24, 2014

I have a neat scanner connected to my mac via USB.  My wife and I both use the scanner and have separate accounts on the same machine. The issue is that the scanner gets "connected" to either one user or the other.  Let's say the scanner is working fine for user A.  User B can't use the scanner properly.  It seems like first come first serve.  When user B pushes the scan button on the device and user B is the active account on OSX.  User A's account still gets the popup window responding to the scan request. I guess I am looking for a terminal command, or some procedure, so that user B can come in and gain access to the scanner without logging out user A.

MacBook Pro :: Diagnose 12" PB G4 - Background Picture?

Nov 18, 2009

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 ?

MacBook Pro :: What Video Format (including Embedded Audio) Can Be Viewed By Both OSX Lion Users And PC Users

Mar 22, 2012

I am currently am MBA student and must create projects using power point/ keynote, very often. Many of the power points/ keynotes created by students are informative but lack the ability to hold an audience’s attention (boring). Since I have this wonderful Macbook pro, I would like to create a dynamic keynote presentation which would include clips of audio and video files (I already know about converting keynote to power point). The only problem is, the videos I want to use in the keynote presentation are not able to be manipulated in iMovie (due to their format), and if they where able to be manipulated in iMovie, I’m not sure that PC users would be able to properly view them.

What video format (including embedded audio) is able to be viewed and heard by both OSX Lion users and Windows users?   If this is possible, can anyone suggest a safe application that I can purchase from the apple app store that will allow me to convert video files (including embedded audio) so that it can be viewed by both Lion and PC users? Preferably one that does not need access to the internet in order to convert the files ( I’m on the go allot and use an air card for internet access), but I will take it if this is the best option.  If the app store does not have this type of application, is there a place that I can download a safe one?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Safari Title Bar Disappears With Cursor?

Mar 20, 2012

For the last two weeks, when using Safari, the top bar which shows the word Safari, File etc (can't remember what it is called) disappears unless I move my cursor up to it.  I have checked Safari preferences and System preferences and can't figure out how to stop it from disappearing.  I suspect it is a check box. 

I have tried to check the "view" option to hide/show and neither solves the problem.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Address Book Disappears After Opening

May 29, 2012

My address book flies up above the top of my screen when I open it. It will appear when I hit F3, but then it disappears again when I click on it to open the page.  

I can move the application to different desktops, where I can see the very bottom of the window, but am unable to use the mouse to drag it down to where it can do me any good. 

On a frustrating meter, it's probably a five-and-a-half, or six. It's been like this for several weeks, and I probably ought to get this figured out before too much longer. 

My software all seems to be updated. I've force quit the application, rebooted the machine, and nothing seems to be giving me any satisfaction.
