Can't set web photo as desktop background

Hi everyone,
I've had my pro for 4 years now, and I used to be able to use any web engine (normally I use google chrome and firefox) and click on a photo on the web and have the option to make it my desktop background. For whatever reason, that option is now gone and if I want to make the picture my background I have to download it, save it on my desktop then right click and set that way. Does anyone have any ideas why this might be or if I accidentally clicked a setting that I can revert to?
Thanks all,
Meg

Hi Meg,
I have Safari 7.0.5 on my MacBook Pro and that option is still there if I right-click an image:
I also tried FireFox v30 and a similar option is available in the contextual menu just as in Safari. I don't use Chrome so can't check that one.
If you are using extensions, try turning them off, restarting the browser, and seeing if that function reappears.

How can I set up multiple spaces (desktops) on my new MacBook Pro 10.9.5? I have six set up on my other computer MacBook Pro 10.8.5 but can't find how to do it on this new one. Would appreciate help on this. Cheers.

It's not completely obvious. What you have to do in Spaces is to position your cursor to the upper right of the screen, after which faint + (plus) sign appears in that area. Click that, upon which another Desktop will appear.
The + may be difficult or impossible to see with some desktop backgrounds (black, for instance):

Can't set/send photos (iPhone)

For some reason, I can't set/send photos on my phone. It'll tell me the following: "This app does not have access to your photos or videos. You can enable access in Privacy Settings." I've looked at my privacy settings and there's no settings for photos. Help please?

I have had this problem....but...it is now solved. Go to General, then Restrictions. Scroll to Privacy, then scroll down to Photos, I had to click on 'Allow Changes'. This solved my problem not being able to post pictures to Facebook, Instagram etc....

Why can't i drag photos from desktop to iphoto

why can't i drag photos from desktop to iphoto all of a sudden?

From iPhoto help:
To import photos from a hard disk:
Do one of the following:
Drag one or more photos or a folder of photos from the Finder to the iPhoto main window.
Drag one or more photos or a folder of photos from the Finder to the iPhoto icon in the dock.
In iPhoto, choose File > “Import to Library.” Then select the photos you want to import and click Import.

Now that iOS 5 has come out, all iPad 2's come with iOS 5 pre-installed (unless you find old stock sitting at a retailer somewhere). iOS 5 has a built-in setup assistant for AirPort base stations (such as AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme, and Time Capsule). First you plug in your AirPort Express to power, and plug its Ethernet into your broadband (Cable or DSL or whatever) modem/router's LAN port. Then in iOS 5, you go to Settings > Wi-Fi, and your AirPort Express will show up in a separate list as a base station that has not been set up. Select it there, and iOS will look at your environment and guess how you want it set up. It usually guesses right. If it guesses right for your needs, you hit the button and it sets it up that way. If it guessed wrong, you hit "More Choices" and select an alternative setup method.
After you've done the initial setup that way, if you later decide you want to tweak the settings, you can download the free AirPort Utility for iOS 5, from the App Store.
Kappy made a small mistake when he said you can use the AirPort Utility app for iOS to set up the AirPort Express. You actually have to do the initial setup right form the AirPort Assistant built right into iOS 5 as I described above. The AirPort Utility app for iOS is where you make changes later, not where you do the initial setup. But yes, you can do all of this setup right from the iPad now, as of iOS 5. No Mac or PC required.

Unable to set iPhoto album as desktop background.

For a long time I had an iPhoto album as my desktop background, set to change pictures every minute. I switched the background recently, and now when I open up system preferences to try to change it back to the iPhoto album, none of my iPhoto albums show up in the Desktop & Screen Saver pane. There is a section called "Apple" with a drop-down arrow, then the iPhoto section which used to but doesn't currently have a drop-down arrow that would let you see all of your iPhoto albums, and a "Folders" section where you can add folders from your computer.

How can I set up Photo Stream with OSX 10.7.5 and iPhoto '09?

I am trying to set up Photo Stream and I would like to know what I need to do. I am running OSX 10.7.5 and iPhoto '09. Thanks

You need to have 10.7.5 Lion for the basic iCloud or 10.8 Mountain Lion or 10.9 Mavericks for the full iCloud. While 10.7.5 Lion will allow you to access iCloud you will be limited unless you can upgrade to 10.8 Mountain Lion or 10.9 Mavericks.
This is from Apple Support:
Minimum operating system requirements
You may also use iCloud with the following operating system versions:
Mac
OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later*
Note: Although you can use OS X Lion as noted above, you will not
be able to take advantage of some iCloud features, such as Shared Photo Streams, iCloud Tabs, Find My iPhone Lost Mode, Documents in the Cloud for iWork, and Find My Friends location-based alerts.

Can't open Web Photo Gallery in CS4

In my CS2 version of PS Web Photo Gallery was already installed. In CS4 it is not. I downloaded the plugin from Adobe but it won't appear when I state PS / File / automate. The address to where I placed the folder is:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit)\Presets\Web Photo Gallery
Does anyone have an idea as to why I can't access it through PS4, version 11? Do I have to "turn it on" somehow in PS?
Thanks, Airpix

You installed the presets for the web gallery, but you also need to install the plugin:
WebContactSheet II in the plugins/automate folder
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4 (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\Automate
Make sure you install the 64 bit version of the WebContactSheet II plugin.
Added: Included in the download is a pdf file that explains the exact places
where the different stuff goes.

Can't create web photo gallery with modified RAW files

I can use CS-2 to create a web photo gallery using unmodified RAW files, this seems to work fine.
However, after I tweak the exposure of a RAW file and a .xmp file has been created, if I try to create a web photo gallery, the program goes through the motions but no thumbnails or (bigger) jpg files are created. The resulting web photo gallery pages are just filled with broken link icons.
What's up?
Windows 2000
Photoshop CS-2
Cannon RAW files (.CR2 extensions)
Thanks,
Mark

I believe it may be to do with the sidecar files. My girlfriend has similar issues on Windows XP.
I have tried to recreate the problem here (on Mac OSX) but it all works fine for me, so i can't fully test it, but here is what i believe may be happening....
The sidecar file has the same name as the actual raw file (except the extension of course), so when the web gallery script is processing it, it does the raw file, then overwrites by trying to process the xmp file as an image, but of course it can't and then you end up with no image file in your thumbnail, or image directories in the web gallery for that image.
Two options you can try...
1) go into bridge and select the images to process in there (xmp files shouldn't show up there) and then use the Tools/Photoshop menu to access the WGB and choose 'Selected Bridge Images' as the source. (this has been tested successfully on win xp)
2) in the camera raw plugin, go into preferences and change the 'sidecar xmp' option to 'camera raw database'. You will then probably need to delete any sidecar files for the folder you wish to process and reapply your raw adjustments. If the problem is what i suspect (as above) this should also work, though i haven't been able to test.
Obviously you don't need to worry about the 'down rezzing' mentioned above as the web gallery builder should already be doing this for you...unless you changed it.

Can't set key photo in Events

I have created numerous Events which are labeled and contain pictures, but in the Events window, teachhe group just appears as a black square with the title of the event underneath it in white. When I scroll down the full Events window or move the picture size setting, I can see a key photo for each event, but then when I stop, the black squares (where the picture should show) reappear. So when I click on "i" to set change or set a key photo, there is just a black square - no photo.
When I open the Event group, I do see all the photos in the group. I looked at the Online Help and didn't see this problem addressed.
I'm new to this version of iPhoto, so there must be a setting I have missed.
Thanks for your help.
Thanks.

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

HT203172 Can't customize the color of desktop background anymore. What happened?

I have Snow Leopard and used to be able to customize desktop background colors to go with personal pics I might want to use but now it won't work. I can open the color wheel and move the color marker to get the color I want but it never changes in the box where the color shows up. I close the wheel and nothing happens. ( What have I forgotten to do?) I thought it did it automatically as I was moving the colors around??
Thanks.

I'm replying to my own question! I got the urge to click on the wheel itself, you know, when all else fails, CLICK where the cursor is! And it worked! I tried to get this answered in the Help menu but it didn't help. See, the atmosphere within this Apple online community is so powerful with help that all you have to do sometimes is just put a question out there and before you know it, the answer will be revealed! Wow!
