How do I cleanup the desk top?
With a slightly damp cloth.
Or do you mean that your desktop has lots of untidy icons all over it?

How do I move my library to the desk top
I have many greyed out photos with ! I have tried importing into Aperture and now have iphoto library and iphoto library(1). Both seem to have different photos in them even though I only have one library. Neither have all of the photos from iphoto as the greyed out boxes have not imported. So I think I have to rebuild my library in iphoto in order to import them into Aperture. Or is there a better way?
The thing is I do not know how to move my library to the desk top before reimporting it. Where do I get the library from? Can you also tell me where the option key is I don't seem to have one labelled option on my keyboard.
Any help will be welcomed.

The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents. The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder. Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
The iPhoto Library Folder is at Home/Pictures, and within it there are three folders:
Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
(ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command - very useful if you don't like the changes you've made.
(iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
If you want to start again, it's the Originals that you want.

My IPad crashes every time I use an application. It keeps crashing to the desk top where all the other apps are at. It doesn't matter what application I'm in either. How can this be fixed?
Hey Hlrj09,
I'd check out this article and follow the troubleshooting steps within:
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
Even though it is geared towards applications purchased from the App Store and you're experiencing the issue with all apps, most of the steps would still be applicable to your situation. I would also take a look at the troubleshooting assistant to see if that helps:
Frozen or unresponsive iPad

Hope that helps,

Are you referring to the Dock?
If so, go to the Apple menu > Dock and select "Turn hiding off".
If you are referring to individual icons on the Dock, right-click or Control-click on the icon, and in the Options submenu in the popup that appears, select "Keep in Dock". -

The frozen was not clear in your first post…..
Have you turned the computer off and then back on (force quit if necessary by holding the power button)?
Try resetting the SMC:
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.

If you look in the audio output port, is there a red light showing. If so, the internal switch is stuck.. Insert the headphones a few times, jiggle a toothpick inside or shot some compressed air to trip the switch. If no success, have the Apple store genius bar technician do it.

I have an IMac. I put a folder on the desk top and now want to delete it. The folder seems to be locked. I went into Get Info and attemted to unlock the folder and delete it. Won't go away. There is nothing in the folder. How do I unlock this folder and delete it? When I try to delete it, I'm asked for my password which I put in and is accepted, but will not delete the folder. Any help would be great.
If you are sure there is nothing in it, download trashit, a useful free app. That will dispose of it.

Iphoto 6 using pictures on the desk top
I created an album in iphoto 6 that reads desk top. I highlighted this and clicked on share at the top of the screen and then clicked on desk top. My photos did appear on the desk top but some are very big and I can't see the whole picture. Is there a way that I can make these pictures smaller?
I guess no one knows how to solve this problem. Come on, there must be someone out there that can help me.

Time Machine keeps backing up my hard drive every hour, even right thought the night when I am not using the computer. What I want to back up are all the files on my desk top - but they don't seem to be backed up at all. Any idea what I can do to ensure that my folders on the desk top are backed up? I have stopped time machine from backing up the hard drive.
We need more info.
Particularly what OS you are running on the computer.. Mavericks is proving unreliable.. to the point where I recommend people use an alternative for the time being.
eg CCC.
Also the size of the TC and how full is it? If it fills up it will delete old backups to store new ones. Less than a month is fine if that is what the TC disk size allows. -
The web pages do not completely fill the screen at the top of my computer screen as I can see the top of my desk top page. It is opaque but still visible. I would like to have the entire screen (the bookmarks still visible along the side, of course) and not see the background of the desk top. Thank you.
Try to disable transparency in Windows, see:
*[[/questions/804050]]
Right click in a free space on your desktop.<br />
Left click on Personalization.<br />
There are four options at the bottom of the screen, choose "Window Color and Appearance".<br />
Select a border color<br />
Uncheck: "Enable transparency"<br />

Making photo folders on the desk top- issue?
Currently all my photos are organized in iPhoto by date/roll#. Each picture is given the automatic titles like Pict0008.jpg by iPhoto. Occasionally i want to select certain photos and organize them on the desk top into folders I create. When I drag a photo I took in december titled Pict0001.jpg into the folder on the desktop and then try to drag a photo I took in Feb (which also happens to be called Pict0001.jpg) I get a dialog boxs asking me if I want to replace the older version with the newer one. I understand why it is doing this but I can't seem to by pass the dialog box by retitling the newer photo. Even if I retitle both photos iPhoto still continues to read the original # name it gave the photo when it was imported into iphoto. How can I do this?
Thanks in advancemelanie,
When you rename a photo in iPhoto you are giving it a title which is only reflected within iPhoto. the image name stays the same in the Finder. That is why if you just drag the images from the iPhoto window to the desktop they still have the original file name. In order to change the file name you have to export the image and use either the title or album name as the naming scheme. This does change the image name to the title/album in the Finder for the exported image.
