Can i not change my desktop to a picture?

i just got this today and im so confused with everything! i just dont understand how anything works..

Anytime you want to change a system preference like this, you can click on the apple in the top left and choose system preferences.
In the first row, you will see desktop and screen saver. Go in there and choose your desktop picture from the default ones or pick one of your own in your iphoto library.
hope that helps~!

Your Desktop Picture settings and Dock items are stored in the files
/Users/your short user name/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist and
/Users/your short user name/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
in the "Preferences" folder in your user library. This looks like the system has trouble to write to these files. Check the permissions on your user library and remove the above files from your user library, then log off and on again.
Your user library is hidden in Lion and Mt. Lion. To reveal it, use the Finder's "Go" menu. Select "Go" in the Finder's main menu bar and hold down the alt/option key, until you see the "Library" in the drop-down menu. Double click it to open a Finder window, so you can browse the files inside.

HT1918 why can I not change my payment card

why can I not change my payment card?

This region thing and reset limit is not new. It was put in place since the medium debuted in the 90's. It is a means of controlling content distribution to the studios benefit. For instance, launch Avatar II in the US, milk the local moviegoers while creating expectation, then slowly release it to different regions of the world. Or keep the pesky Euro movies out of the US market to avoid eating into the meager sales.
Some directors loathe this with a PASSION. That's why Peter Jackson released the home version of Lord of the Rings Trilogy simultaneously worldwide.

Why can I not change the apple id associated with iphoto and imovies

Why can I not change the appleid associated with iphoto and imovies

Is it not your Apple ID? Is this a used Mac? If so, the Mac, OS X and the iLife apps are all registered to the original owner of the Mac.
When someone sells a Mac they should erase the Mac and reinstall the most recent version of OS X that came with the Mac. And they should call Apple Care and have the Mac, the OS and the iLife apps disassociated from their Apple ID. Can you call the original owner and request that?

Can not change my desktop background

for some reason when i changed my desktop background to a photo from my picture folder, i cant seem to undo it. i cant even get into the desktop and screen saver preferences. as soon as i click on the desktop preferences, a window pops up and says " the application sysyem preferences quit unexpectedly....... it then asks me if i want to reopen,report,or close." if i reopen, it goes through the same thing again. i also reported this to apple. i dont know if it will do anything, but owell.
is there anyway to reset this?

Can I remotely change the desktop theme?

When user opens my website, Can I remotely change the user's desktop image? Is it possible? Please Help me.
thannks in advance

Hi,
When user opens my website, Can I remotely change the
user's desktop image? Is it possible?Unsing JSPs it's not possible to change the user's desktop
theme.JSP are processed at server side and the output of JSPs
in most cases will be an HTML file which is used for rendering
your site content but won't provide any access to system resources.
But you may embed client side scripts like Java Script or VB Script
in JSPs to change the desktop theme if and only if these client
scripts provide access to change the client desktop theme which is
not in our scope.
Hope this helps.
Good Luck.

Why Can I Not Change My Menus?

I'm trying to alter my menus in dreeamweaver using the
menus.xml file as I was directed.
I can change it, rename it, delete it, break it, everything.
Nothing does ANYTHING to dreamweaver. Even with system restarts.
I've tried renaming the file to force dreamweaver to make a new
one, nothing works.
All I did was find a menu item that I could easily locate, I
choose the main menu bar. I choose File > Open Recent Reopen
documents on startup
I changed the NAME to "Open Recent Docccccuments On Startup"
Then I opened dreamweaver, no change. I reset. No change. I
deleted the file. No change. I replaced it. No change.
Whats going on!

Be sure that you are editing the menus.xml file (or any file)
in the
User Configuration folder, not the Application Configuration
folder.
There are 2 reason for this:
1. Files in the User config folder override files in the App
config
folder, and DW copies menus.xml to the User config folder by
default.
2. If you change the App config file, then it's harder (or
impossible)
to get back to the default configuration if things go
haywire. Always
copy to the User config folder and edit there. Then, simply
del;eting
the User config folder returns DW to the original state.
This TechNote explains the difference between the 2
Configuration folders:

HT1918 Hi, I need help. I would like to change religion. By the way it say on the screen like this; you still have credit, so you can't not change your reigion. Please spend up your credit and then change your reigion.

I need help!
Would you answer me, please?
I would like to change my region. By the way, it says that I should spend up all my credit ($0.29) unless I can't change my region.
I am staying in South Korea temporary and I would be in Australia in several months. So I didn't change my account. I asked my friend to send me iTunes cards number to recharge credit. But I would like to change the region this time. I want to use debit card here in South Korea.
Does anyone could help me? Thanks !!

How recently did you switch? If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account. The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices. I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices...

Why can I not change the location browser I have moved from Indianapolis IN. to Columbus OH. and when I search it takes me to Indianapolis can I change this?

when doing a internet search it takes me to Indianapolis news, weather, local businesses, ECT. can I change this to reference Columbus Oh. and not Indianapolis ?

This seems to have been asked a lot around the net, however, there doesn't seem to be an adequate answer to it.
I am running:
Operating system is Windows 7Motherboard is Q67H2-AM v1.1
Bios is ACER ver. 2.10.1207
GPU is GTX 770
PSU is 700w
The Graphics card is plugged in to the 16x slot, the fans spin, but no display and no device is recognized in device manager.
I have tried a few solutions including uninstalling my onboard graphics driver from the device manager and going to upgrade my 600w power supply to a 700w one.
I think the issue is that I need to change the BIOS to PEG or PCI Express. However, in the Bios the settings for both "Primary Video" and "Onboard Graphics" are grayed out, meaning that I can't change them.

Why can I not change the alert of 9am on Calendar. My day starts far earlier so I am unable to attend to the alert. I am sure there are many who begin their day by 7am at the latest

Why can the 9am default alert in Calendar not be changed. I start my day far earlier so any alert appears too late to act upon. I am sure there are many many others whose day starts long before 9am. Alerts a day, a week or whatever earlier are not practical if action is to be taken on a specific day

kaeandcolesmon,
If you open the recovery drive (partition) it should only have a single folder (Recovery).
To make sure that your not saving restore points to that drive.
See:
Start, Control Panel, System, System Protection tab. Make sure the D drive partition is set to OFF so that it does not save there.

Why can I not change the setting for my iPhone 4s to stop making a woosh sound when I send txts?

They should have an option under settings to turn this off, but they do not. It is not right to have to turn my iPhone on silent just to get away from it.

HT204053 Why can you not change a @me email account inside my Apple ID?

I have an iphone 4S and access the cloud from a standard lap top and a standard desktop (not apple) and get confused with the other feeds, and I do not want an alias.
I simply want to use the same Apple ID and I just simply want to delete the @me email account associated with it and start a new one.
Is this possible? If not, as I beleive the case, why not?

Open a new account and stop using the old one, you cannot delete the account but you can ignore it.

Why can I not change my resolution to full hd on the built in display?

The display currently allows only 1366X768 (Landscape) . Shouldn't I be able to up the resolution to 1920 x 1080?

If your display resolution is 1366x768 Pixels then you'll not be able to change the settings to 1920x1080 Pixels.You'll need a 1080p monitor in order to change it to 1920x1080 Pixels

HT4839 Why in the world can i not change APN settings on a no-contract, unlocked iPhone?

i want to be able to change APN settings on my iPhone. !!!

thank you      jstrohl .
I'm not sure if this will be of help to anybody.
but I was able to bypass (or trick) AT&T restrictions on APN settings:
by inserting my old net10 T-mobile SIM card, which allows me access to
APN settings. While "inside" the APN settings i SWITCHED from t-mobile to AT&T
SIM card. the APN settings' window remained open and then I was able to change to my desired APN settings.
i want to mention that the only issue I had was sending PICTURE messages.
I had access to the web with Net10's downloaded APN settings:         iapnupdatetfdata.net10.com
from this website:               http://www.net10byop.com/program.php
