Add a desktop

How could I add a new desktop with Yosemite?

dratatat, Welcome to the discussion area!
If
I take the ethernet cable and hook directly into DSL
modem.. it can access the internet.
??? The original AirPort base station (ABS) is
graphite and only has a single Ethernet port.
Therefore there is no way to connect your G3 via
Ethernet and the DSL modem to the graphite ABS.
OH - I thought that you plugged the DSL into the port with the circle of dots and the cable to the computer into the one with the 2-ended arrow??
I
want to add an even older G3 desktop to the mix but
cannot get the base station to see it.
Generally the base station doesn't see a computer
connected to it. Please describe what you are trying
to do?
I want my laptop to connect wirelessly while also having the G3 connected to the internet for someone else to be using.
Thanks!

How do I add a desktop link to additional email accounts? I have one email account as my safari home page because it has trouble with apple mail, but I want a one-click link on my desktop that takes me to two other email accounts.

Can you set up a rule in your old account to forward mail to your new account and then delete it from the old account?

Is there an easy way to add a desktop shortcut for all users?

Looking for an easy way to add a shortcut to an app for all users.

William is correct. There are global system settings, and then there are personal user settings. Adding a shortcut to the desktop, or more commonly the Dock is a personal setting.
Unless its in some kind of mass deployment scenario where you can create a pre programed image for large amounts of computers which has it already has your app shortcut setup, its easier to just do it one user at a time.

AUR - add application.desktop

Hello Folks,
There's an program (OpenSCAD) in the AUR which does not provide any .desktop file to add the program to the start menu or however you call that thing.
Now I tried to do that myself so I can submit a patch. Therefore, I took a look to another program (slic3r) from the AUR which does have a working .desktop file.
First, the "working" program, slic3r:

Can anybody tell me what I am doing wrong?
~ Tectu

Your install command is failing - the error message tells you exactly what's wrong, and the solution is in the slic3r PKGBUILD that you used for inspiration.
I would, however, suggest a thorough examination of the install man page, as there is a better way to do it.

Add to Desktop Pictures

Hi
New convert to iMac from Windows.
Love the facility to change desktop pictures, especially the Nature folder.
How do I add some of our own photos (from our African safari holiday) to the Nature folder in Desktop settings so they are included in the random change of desktop pictures?
Many thanks
Les

Just drag and drop them into the folder.
You may want to use copies rather than the originals, and you can crop and size them for the screen resolution in iPhoto to ensure no white bars or stretched pics.
If you don't want duplicates on the computer, you can use aliases in the Nature folder (or wherever else you choose - I use a seperate folder with a mixture of pics from the supplied folders, plus some of my own and some stellar views from APOD).

How to add multiple desktop on mac os x?

On my previous version of Mac OS X I was able to add as much desktops I want by just going into upper right corner with my pointer and clickin on the sign +. Now, after replacing my SSD and installing new OS I don't have that option. Does anyone knows how to add desktops on Mac OS 10.7.5? Thank you

Mission Control – Work in Multiple Spaces
If you want to keep the desktops in a specific order, go to System Preferences/Mission Control and uncheck the box " Automatically rearrange spaces based on most recent use." You can also select the box below that so if you open an application, you'll be taken to that space.
If you want to cut down the number of desktops, there is also an option to remove the Dashboard as a desktop and have it work like it did in Snow Leopard. That can be set in System Preferences/Mission Control by deselecting Show Dashboard as a space. You can access the Dashboard by clicking on the Dashboard icon in the dock or using the FN 12 key.

Import, add from desktop?

I tried to do this and could not find the desktop. I see Macontosh HD listed, but cannot find desktop.
Also, still not really clear on difference between add or copy. No reason to really do move correct?

You'll need to expand out the Macintosh HD until you see the Users folder. Desktop will be one of the subfolders within it.
Add leaves the file in its current location when adding to catalog. Copy leaves original in current locations and ad a copy of the file to a new location at the same time as adding it to the catalog.

Add second desktop to network

Newbie, so please forgive my ignorance. I'm using a Linksys wrt54G router and have set up my primary desktop with the router, and have successfully added to laptops to the network. I have another desktop that I would like to add. How do I do this? Obviously it doens't have the ability to look for a wireless connection. I'm sure this is stupid, but any help would be appreciated.

You can do it one of 2 ways:
run an ethernet line from your desktop to one of the ports in the router
or
buy a wireless adaptor card for your desktop and go wireless

Add virtual desktop

Hi,
I have a problem, when I try to add a virtual desktop, the button that usually appears on the top right corner disappeared, I am just
wondering how I can resore it. Thanks

Here are a few things to consider.
How many desktops do you have? There is a maximum which I can't recall, but maybe you've reached it?
If your dock is on the right, the little new desktop button will appear in the upper LEFT corner.
Sometimes third party software interferes with Mission Control. Does this behavior persist for a different user, e.g. Guest User? Does this behavior persist when starting up in Safe Mode?

I want to add a desktop app to Mozilla Firefox, so I can unpin firefox from the takbar. How do I do that?

I use a Windows 8.1 operating system. Not the RT version or a new version; just the standard version of Windows 8.1. I have an app for Mozilla Firefox on my start screen, and one pinned to my task bar. I deleted the shortcut to Firefox from the desktop, and deleted it from the hard drive, but now I wish I hadn't I can't find an operating system option to create another shortcut, and I can't find the same or similar option on Firefox. Please help. Thanks.

Hi, I have Win 7, so can only generalize, but I would enter '''Firefox''' into the PCs search box, then right click > Send To Desktop.
Hope that may help.

How to add number of desktop

I have two user in my MBA. One use account with 4 desktops. But another user account only with 1 desktop. May I know how can I add more desktop?

Can you add the entire content of your desktop to the allowable locations in flash player?

can you add the entire content of desktop to the allowable locations in flash player? when i click 'add' to allowable locations and type in file:///C:/Documents and Settings under website (i know it's not the website but where else would it be added) it doesn't show up in the overall list of allowable 'sites'.

Hi radwh,
Are you talking about trying to add your desktop to Flash Player's trusted locations? If so, you use the "Advanced" tab on the Local Settings Manager to designate folders and files as trusted. (Full path is Advanced->Developer Tools->Trusted Location Settings.) Here's a link to the documentation for that: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlayer/LSM/WS6aa5ec234ff3f285139dc56112e3786b68c-7ff0.htm l .
Hope this helps, and get back to me with further details if this is not what you were asking.
Thanks,
