Background Change Picture Feature Not Working

I have had my macbook pro for about 6 months now and my change background feature worked fine when I first got it. I could add folders of pictures and tell it change ever 5 seconds and it worked. Over time, I messed with my dock settings and background settings with other third party programs and stuff and decided I didn't like them so I would just go back to the features built into Leopard. I tried to do a random, change every 5 seconds background change folder deal the other day and it never would change. I tried doing it on the default folders like the apple images and the nature ones and stuff but it would never change. I can still add folders. I can click the option of random order and change every x times. When I close out my system preferences, it resets what I did. I go back to my background panel and they are unchecked. How can I fix this and is anyone else having this problem?

delete the file com.apple.desktop.plist from homedirectory/Library/Preferences and log out/in. You background settings should be set to defaults and you should be able to change them as you like.

  • Background Repeat X feature not working.

    Good day all, hopefully you could help me with this issue. I have a 26 page website that I've just completed and all the pages have varying heights so I simply exported my gradient background from photoshop cs6 as a .png and pressed ctrl+j and inserted the background and opted for the repeat X. The problem I'm experiencing is that the background cuts off half way in most of my pages, I thought that the whole purpose of repeat x was to populate the entire page no matter the height. Here's my code:
    body {
        background-image: url(_images/gradient.png);
        background-repeat: repeat-x;

    Thank you Bemdesign and Nancy O, I had googled and tried the w3schools tutorials and option before I came here. It didin't work for me, I thought that I was missing something specific to dreamweaver but no it was. I actually sorted the issue out by increasing the height in photoshop from 1750px to 3200px and the variation from page to page isn't that onticable but at least it doesn't cut off. Before resorting to this I even tried and maxed out all the options that dreamweaver had to offer in this avenue; from repeat, repeat-x and repeat-y....all of that to no avail.

  • Versamail Auto-sync feature not working with AOL mail w/Treo 700p (Verizon)

    I'm having a problem with the Auto-sync feature not working with my 700p (verizon) with my aol mail.  It had worked perfect since May 2007.  Just started having problems End of April 2008.  Sounded like I needed another incoming mail server from aol other than:  imap.aol.com, aol told me they also use pop.aol.com, that isn't working either.  I get an error message that says "last auto-sync attempt failed."....Anyone else having this issue?  I'm trying to decide whether to get rid of my aol mail of 14 yrs and use other address to continue using versamail 3.5  or keep aol and use Verizon Wireless sync.  I do not like how wireless sync sends mail to outbox and then syncs vs sending right away.   Please help...
    Post relates to: Treo 700p (Verizon)

    I am having the EXACT same problem: Palm 700p, Versamail, AOL, Verizon. 
    It started about 1 month ago.  The GET still works, but AUTO-SYNC does not...After spending hours on the phone with Palm tech support, and reaching someone who said AOL had changed something in their servers.  They suggested TRYING Chatteremail, another Palm product.  I have tried it for 20+ days out of the 30 days you get for free.  It works pretty well, but NOT every e-mail that goes to my AOL acct is making it to my phone.  The thing that's great about Chatter is that can be "live" all of time.  Not auto-syncing every 15 minutes.
    It's very frustrating....The same way the Versamail just stopping auto-syncing is very frustrating.  With Versamail, sometimes I did not even get the error message.  If Chatteremail worked consistently, I would bite the bullet, and pay for it, but to pay for it, and have it not pull down all the e-mails, all the time is not good.
    I spoke to Palm Tech Support in N. America today, and they say the way AOL uses IMAP servers is in a non-traditional way, and it's very hard to deal with.  They suggest ditching AOL, and using something reliable for syncing purposes like GMAIL.  It's just hard to cut the cord.  The man I was on the phone with knew of my problem, and he solved it by getting rid of AOL.  It's just tough, since so many people have the e-mail address for me. 
    On http://mobile.aol.com/aolproducts/mobile-email/mai​l-client
    there seems to be some indication when you click on Smart Phones on left, that Coming Soon is Palm, but I don't know if that's going to be downloadable for 700p, or Palms moving forward.  Or how far away that is.
    I tried wireless sync and hated it.
    This is really a pain in the butt.
    *** Who did you speak to at AOL? 
    *** How did you reach them?  e-mail?  phone #?
    I also did a search and found another program called "Snappermail", which I might try, and see if it's any better than Chatteremail.

  • NAC OOB logoff feature not working

    Hi all,
    I've deployed NAC in L2 OOB VG mode with ADSSO and I'm trying to use the OOB logoff feature but it's not working. The VLAN change detect feature doesn't work either (I think the two problems might be related).
    It will work if each user role is assigned a different auth/access VLAN pair but in my setup, everyone has a common auth vlan and separate role-based access vlans. Because of this, I have to use the IP refresh feature as well (this works fine).
    I'm running Windows Vista and version 4.8.0 of the NAC software with version 4.8.1.5 of the agent
    I checked the release notes and found that caveat CSCth60233 identifies this bug with the VLAN change detect with the workaround being to refresh the IP address automatically after being logged out. Does anyone know of a workaround for this problem to do this automatically? Is a solution for this problem in the works?
    Also would anyone be able to help me with my OOB logoff feature not working? I've configured everything according to the documentation.
    I appreciate your responses

    I have downloaded a trial version of Dreamweaver CS6 to my MacBook. Why do some features not work? I have OSX 10.6.8. I am using this trial version for a class I am taking on coding webpages using Dreamweaver. there are features I am using in class that will not open up or appear as options when I use the trial version. Are certain features locked out until I buy a copy or download a purchased copy?

    Trial versions have no functional limitations, though your setup/situation might not be supportive of all functionality.  You'll need to identify specific issues to get help with them.  You should be posting in the DW forum instead of here if your issue does not have to do with downloading/installing.

  • Just updated to Iphoto 9.1.3 but the slideshow feature not working

    Just updated to Iphoto 9.1.3 but the slideshow feature not working at all. Screen goes white but any features selected, nothing is produced .The themes preview windows are blank too. is there something missing?

    Sounds like it.
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • InDesign auto-size frame feature not working in real time in InCopy why?

    We have just recently migrated from InCopy CS4 to CS6 to take advantage of the new features like the auto resize frame option, however it now seems that this feature is not working in real-time.
    Basically the steps are needed to be complete before it auto-resizes the frame in InCopy, we use both layout and assignment based workflows:
    1. From an ID document ('doc1'), exported a 'layer' to IC, certain frames are set to auto-size in height using the text frame options. So that editorial can review and make changes to text and the frame should resize according to the specifications set. IC stories are saved to a folder located in a content folder inside the top issue working folder.
    2. Editorial opens the IC software, then opens the ID 'doc1'. Check’s out correct .icml file and makes edits to frame with auto resize.
    3. Frame does not resize according to text frame set options and InCopy file does not respond in same fashion as InDesign.
    4. Change only occurs when InCopy file is closed and updated in InDesign, which is frustrating as this feature would save huge amounts of time serving editorial requests.
    Has anybody experienced this type of workflow problem? If anyone can provide mw with some pointers as to what can I do to get this to update in real time perhaps run a script? Update file in InCopy and refresh I will very much appreciate their assistance. I have run out of ideas.
    Thanks!

    We've had all sorts of problems with this feature as it should've worked straight out of the box but after some testing we have found that its something to do with the way you open the actual file in InCopy. Which is far from ideal and should have been UAT by Adobe before release.
    This will not work consistently work if you open the designed .indd or .icma file in InCopy using the file open command within the application.
    If you need this to work, the InCopy user has to open the .indd or .icma file by dragging and droping from OS windows explorer into InCopy, we use Windows 7 acrros all the teams. Check out .icml files add text changes to the set auto resized frames, this process will expand/collapse the frames to fit the content but as you have to use the drag and drop method to open the .indd and .icma file, 2 users cannot access the same time doc at the same time (a serious flaw in the programming architecture!) which stops people working in parallel. Save changes, check in .icml content and close .indd or .icma.
    However the flaw comes in if you then open the .indd and .icma file in InCopy using the file open command within the application, before an InDesign user opens and saves the file (updates the design). The corrections added in the previous stage above, will not show the frames expanded/collapsed to take in the added text and instead show over matter???? The only way around this is to ask an InDesign user to open, update and save the design that way the InCopy user will see the same result no matter what file open method they use.
    Another suggestion is to design the page to have some of the auto resize frames anchored within main body of text and that way the frames will expland/collapse when checking out and editing the content. However, this does cause issues with InDesign crashing etc. so we have tried to stop this method within the working group.
    Have you experienced other more serious issues with InDesign crashing consistently when re-importing .icml files? See other forums here:

    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5045608#5045608
    As far as we can see this is a major flaw in how the application(s) work, we have an enterprise agreement with Adobe and purchase a large volume of Adobe products globally but so far the technical support team are unable to find a solution to this and I'm not hopeful of any resolution soon even with the new release of Adobe CC.

  • Picture text not working when sent from iPhone to non iPhone

    Since this 6.1 update that I have told everyone not to update. My phone has been doing strange things and I have called and talked to apple and they said they have not heard anything about it. First off, when I try to send a picture text to someone that does not have an iPhone such as an android they either a) can't open it or b) it opens as a video and flashes off. They had no problems before this update. So today my iMessage stopped working. I deletes the messages I had and sent a test text to iPhone friends and it started working. I also went I to settings and added my email to iMessage. In doing this it got me to thinking that if this changed by itself maybe it had something to do with the SMS.  Which is turned on already. I turned off iMessage and sent picture text to non iPhone and it worked. I don't want to have to turn off and no all the time anyone else had this problems?

    Hi Steve,
    I have tried to export to epub 2 and 3. The video is MP4 (h264). It was working just fine on all devices now I can't seem to get any video to export and work.
    Pretty sure it all stopped working after the Yosemite upgrade on the Mac or iOS 8 on devices. Or maybe both.
    Oddly, it plays in iBooks on my mac, just not on the iPad or iPhone.
    I've also tried to just export a couple of short test epubs with vids in different formats but get the same result....not working.
