OS X V10.7 Lion :: Is ITunes Changing Desktop Picture Momentarily

Jun 30, 2012

I am running a clean install OS X, including my third-party applications, and this five-year-old machine has never run better. However, an anomaly has arisen. Whenever I push play (iTunes) my desktop picture disappears briefly, replaced by a neutral gray screen, before reappearing. As I write this, I quit and re-launched iTunes and the problem still exists. I am loathe to restart my computer as I am in the middle of some pressing business. I will check back if a restart resolves this issue, otherwise, feel free to comment. 

With iTunes running, pushing Play starts the song and one-second later my desktop picture disappears briefly. Pushing the button (Pause) again stops the song but nothing else happens.  I am currently listening to iTunes DJ and just now the O'Jays started playing and without my doing anything, the desktop picture disappeared and reappeared. I have iShowUHD and will make a recording of it, if it continues.

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.

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.3)

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back up, the mac supplied image of the milky way appears and the photo I had on the desktop prior to shutting down has been replaced by this.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 V10.7 Lion :: Desktop Background Changing When Shut Down Mac?

Jun 25, 2012

For some reason, every time I turn my mac off, the desktop background changes. It always returns to the same picture, which was the second or third thing I changed my desktop to after getting my mac.  

I have background switching unchecked in my preferences, and I have never selected it as an option. Also, when I go to my preferences, it will show the icon of the picture I changed it to, even though the desktop itself has switched back.

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.

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?

Intel Mac :: Dock Spaces Desktop Picture Screensaver All Crashed And Won't Work

May 21, 2012

The Dock doesn't appear. Spaces is greyed out and won't stay enabled. Desktop picture cannot be selected (stays standard blue screen). Screensaver does not work and cannot set hot corner. 

I have deleted the dock plists, restarted, repaired permissions, updated to 10.6.8, restarted again. Still no dock, no Spaces, no desktop picture change, no screensaver. 

How did this begin? I had lots of large-memory apps running (eg. Photoshop, Garageband, Pages, Audacity, etc) and then there was a freeze, I can't remember which app – probably Photoshop) and I had to shutdown using the on/off button. 

After that startup, all the problems were present. :-( (I've looked at related Dock-crash posts here: I do not have installed: Parallels; Fusion.)

OS X :: Changing The Desktop Theme?

Mar 11, 2009

I am looking to see if there is a program(s) out there to change OS X desktop theme. Mainly how the tool bar looks/acts.

I want my kids to start using my G4 and they have no concept of where to look for the apps folder or how it works. They are used to Window and Ubuntu.
I like how Ubuntu has programs ot change how the tool bar acts. I was hoping to change the mac a little.

Also off the base of this thread, coming from a Windows and Linux past, is it an issue if my kids just click the red X instead of using the File/quit method to close programs? I see the menu bar still exists when they just hit the X..

I have a Mac Pro (early 2009) 4,1.  I run Windows Bootcamp using a GTX 570 SC and I can only boot into Windows because of my graphic card. I would like to boot into OS X momentarily and I have an old GPU from Powermac G5.  It is the 9600XT. Would it be a problem to plug in the 9600XT as a helper card to get me into OS X briefly?
