Cannot change desktop background picture to my own photos

Hi, in desktop & screen saver I cannot change the desktop background image to any of my own (iphoto) pictures, it shows the list of the images and thumbnails but will only change the pic to the 'Apple' ones (nature,plants,black & white, abstract), if I select any of my photos under 'iphoto albums' the desktop image simply turns light blue.

Hi.
I'm seeing what seems to be the exact same problem you described. Were you able to figure it out and fix it? I don't see a solution posted.
Thanks.

  • System Preference freezes when I want to change desktop background picture

    My system preference freezes when I try to change my desktop background picture, any help, I tried disk utility repair, couldn't find the files to trash.

    Login to the problematic account ensure that System Preferences is closed down.  Move the following file to trash:
    <home>/Library/Caches/com.apple.preferencepanes.cache
    but don't delete it from the trash yet, just in case you need to restore it.  Re-open System Preferences, it will re-create the file.  If all's well then, then you can empty the trash.

  • Satellite C50-B-13T - Win 8.1 cannot change desktop background

    Hi folks,
    I'm new to this forum so please bear with me.
    I bought a new Toshiba Satellite C50-B-13T laptop yesterday with Windows 8.1 installed and I cannot change the desktop screen from a blank black one to a picture of my choice... I've tried everything, and even looked for videos on Youtube to see if there's a remedy for it.
    When I look at the control panel the thumbnail shows the picture I've chosen, but the actual desktop (not the smart screen bit) is still plain black. All of my icons work just fine but the background will not change.
    If anyone can help me sort this out I'd be really grateful?
    Thanks everyone :O)

    You ask how to change the Windows background?
    This is not very tricky.
    Microsoft released a useful article regarding Windows system personalization.
    Please check this aricle:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/personalize-pc-tutorial
    Note: there is a difference between the desktop background and the lock screen.
    The lock screen is the screen you see when you lock your PC (or when it locks automatically after you haven't been using it for a while).

  • Cannot Change Desktop Background in Windows 8 Installed Via Bootcamp

    I've been running parelells, but decided today to just go the boot camp route and everything went through fine EXCEPT I cannot change the wall paper on the windows 8 desktop?
    I select the new image in desktop background in personalization click save changes and the background stays the same...?
    I don't get it.
    And by the way, I am NOT new to windows or mac, been using both for a long time and was a systems administrator and bench for years, this is NOT a novice "how to" question...It's just not working?
    Anyone else seen this before?

    are you using an activated version of win 8? you cant personalise win desktop otherwise.

  • Cannot change Desktop Background image

    When I go to change my Desktop Background, it will try and load up the pictures in my Pictures folder (but no subfolders). I can switch my background to one of these images, even though the "Loading" progress bar is still visible.
    Here is the odd thing, however. If I click on any of the other types of images (Apple Images, nature, Plants, Black & White, Abstract, and Solid Colors), nothing appears. I jumped over to another user on the same computer, and those images populated properly. Any ideas on what is going wrong? Why can't I change my background image? I've had this problem with both Mac OS 10.5.0 and 10.5.1.

    I managed to fix this problem.
    I did verify and repair permissions just for kicks. Not sure if that helped or not, but I did it anyway.
    Then I went back into the System Pref pane, and clicked on Apple Images, then clicked on the Change Picture checkbox. While none of the images appear in the white box, my background did change to one of the Apple Images (such as the black and purple Leopard-only background). I then closed System Preferences, opened it back up, and the images loaded up properly this time!

  • Cannot change desktop background...

    This is a problem that has been annoying me for about a month now... i set my desktop background as an iphoto image, and went to change it a few weeks later but it wouldn't let me! the small image of the desktop appears in system preferences, but the background will not change.
    if anyone knows how to fix this, your help will be appreciated...

    Confounding!
    Log back into your problem account:
    Here's the whole litany for thoroughly checking your home folder. It's not as daunting as it looks.
    1. Navigate to ~(YourHome/Library/Fonts - drag this folder to the desktop.
    • Restart and test your applications.
    • If they work start adding the fonts back few at a time.
    ( Likely suspects are Times RO, Helvetica Fractions and Times Phonetic, also if you do not use Classic you can trash the classic fonts.) If not, put your Fonts folder back.
    2. Check Preferences Thoroughly;
    • Navigate to ~(YourHome/Library/Preferences drag this folder to the desktop.
    • Restart and test your applications.
    • If this works, save the old preferences folder somewhere else or on disk, name it "old prefs" .
    ** Note: A very important file is the "com.apple.Mail.plist" preference file located in the Preferences folder which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences (hold this one and replace if your problem is not with Mail).
    You'll have to go through some of your System Preferences and apps to set the preferences back to how you like them. (Or if you have the time and inclination, "cherry pick" through until you find the problem one or two.)
    3. Check Permissions Inside Home Folder
    • Navigate to YourHome/Library.
    • Get Info (Command - i) on folders for apps you are having problems with.
    • Open the "Ownership & permissions" disclosure triangle.
    • Make sure you are the owner, with "read and write" access.
    • Click on "apply to all"
    • If this is correct, open the "Applications Support" folder and do the same procedure (Command+I) for the folders with the names of the applications you are having trouble with.
    (Note:The reason to check this is because repairing permissions with Disk Utility doesn't touch permissions inside your home folder.)
    4. Navigate to YourHome/Library/Caches and drag this folder to the trash, then log out and back or restart. There is no need to replace this folder.

  • Can't change my background picture

    I'd just like to say thank you for your help if you ever do check this out.
    My friends, as a prank, changed my background picture to some random photos I had on my Macbook. However, I've been unable as of yet to actually revert it back. Though they only changed one background, none of my desktops can have their background changed. Also, none of the methods I know actually work - going to System Preferences and manually changing it from there doesn't work, nor does simply clicking a photo and choosing the option to 'set as background picture'.
    Many thanks.

    You can't go to System Preferences>Desktop&Screen Savers and change the display? Try it and see. I've never seen that problem.

  • How to stop the auto change of the desktop background picture ?

    How to stop the auto change of the desktop background picture ?

    Well . . thanks, but I already have done that and I still have the problem. The background changes to the standard picture galaxy not to one of the options. Sorry my question wasn't clear enough.
    Thanks. 

  • Change Desktop Background - Stretch Picture

    I noted a strange thing when i right click and select Change Desktop Background, i once noted the option of whether to Stretch the picture. But now it is gone.
    Does anyone know how do i enable it?

    The option is only offered when it is actually needed, most likely your images don't need stretching.

  • HT2478 how do you make the setting to change desktop background every time you shut down your mac

    how to make setting to change desktop background every time you close your mac
    because i want to make it if anybody tries to change my dekstop picture i want it to go backto set desktop picture

    Don't let other people access your Mac in admin mode - they might change something a lot more important than the Desktop picture.
    However you can use Automator: create an Application in it, and select 'Set the Desktop Picture' from the Library. Choose the picture you want. Save the application, then go to System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items and select the Automator application you just created. This will then run at startup and set your chosen picture.

  • Wallpaper not showing up in "Change Desktop Background" window

    I just noticed an odd issue today on my Mac Pro. When browsing the built-in wallpaper folders (Nature, Plants, etc) in the Change Desktop Background window they are empty. My "Pictures Folder" one shows all the images correctly as well as browsing the ones from iPhoto. (I also have Aperture 2.1.2 installed but no projects yet so that part is empty.)
    I performed a permissions repair, checked that the actual files were there in /Library and removed the com.apple.desktop.plist pref's file. After doing that all the pictures showed up again UNTIL I browsed around the picture folders in the Change Desktop Background window then they stopped showing again.
    Could something in my Pictures Folder be causing the issue? Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    -Jim

    Thanks for clarifying. I don't do right or left click, but occasionally do CONTROL-click and doing that brings up the contextual menu item "change desktop background" which leads to the Desktop prefPane. Now, why you're having issues, I have no idea. However, I suggest creating a new admin user account, logging into it, and seeing if changing the desktop picture works there.

  • HT1338 whenever I access my screen saver my computer freezes. Trying to change my background picture.

    Hey, I am trying to change my background picture but everytime I try my computer freezes.What do I need to do, help.
    Thanks in advance!

    I just did a little test and changed something in my Screen Saver settings and looked to see what changed (just had a Finder window open in my ~/Library/Preferences and had the "Date Modified" column selected so that the most recent change would appear at the top) and noticed that the file called com.apple.screensaver.xxxx.plist file changed (the xxxx is a hex number that is part of your UUID, or perhaps the whole UUID, as have seen it both ways). This screensaver preferences file is located in ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost which makes sense, as every user would need their own set of screen saver preferences on each host.
    Looking at this file in TextWrangler it looks like this:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    <plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
    <key>askForPassword</key>
    <integer>0</integer>
    <key>idleTime</key>
    <integer>300</integer>
    <key>lastNonRandomModuleName</key>
    <string>Flurry</string>
    <key>moduleName</key>
    <string>Flurry</string>
    <key>modulePath</key>
    <string>/System/Library/Screen Savers/Flurry.saver</string>
    <key>tokenRemovalAction</key>
    <integer>0</integer>
    </dict>
    </plist>
    Hope that helps.
    One thing I did have a question about is how to find the UUID. On a Mac Pro system the command:
    system_profiler | grep -i uuid
    returned the expected number that was part of the com.apple.screensaver.xxxx.plist file, but this did not work on a MacBook Pro. No luck trying to find out why so far. Anyone have any ideas? There is also a UUID associated with a disk volume, that appears to have nothing to do with the UUID associated with the system. So the UUID I'm talking about here is for the system, not a disk.

  • If autologin is configured desktop background picture is always galaxy picture after restart.

    If auto login is configured,  the desktop background picture is always the standard picture galaxy after restart. If  i do an normal login the background is the right one. The which i have configured.

    I seem to have a slightly different variant of this problem. My desktop picture is supposed to select a random photo from a large folder, and change every hour. When I start up my MacBook Pro by itself, it works fine--I get a random picture. When I connect my external Samsung display and have mirroring turned on, it also works--I get one random picture on both screens.
    The problem shows up only when mirroring is turned off. I should presumably get two different random pictures. But instead I get the same two pictures every time--two different pictures, but always the same ones. After the first hour, I do get two random pictures--but at startup, I always see the same two. Removing the .plist file didn't help. I tried removing the original two recurring photos, and everything seemed fine for a couple of startups, but then it just got stuck on a different pair. A pretty inconsequential problem, all in all, but frustrating.

  • "Change desktop background" instantly hides when opened

    I have a rather strange issue that's a nuisance. When I right click on the desktop and select "Change Desktop Background," the system preferences pane opens, but automatically is hidden (similar to if you press cmd+H). I have to click the icon to restore the window.
    This does NOT occur if I first open System Preferences and then select "Desktop & Screen Saver," or if I open "DesktopScreenEffectsPref.prefpane" from quicksilver.
    I have tried deleting com.apple.desktop.plist and restarting, but this did not solve my problem. I think I may have experienced this problem in Lion as well, but I currently experience it on Mountain Lion.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    This same thing happens to me, and while not the end of the world, it is defintely annoying.  Have you figured it out?  Thanks!

  • Change Desktop Background Broken 10.8

    When I "2 finger (right click)" click on the desktop and select "Change Desktop Background", System Preferences comes up and I can change my background.   I then close System Preferences and try it again and System Prefrences doesnt open.  It will work the 1st time after a reboot, but not work anytime after.
    Is anyone else having this issue?
    Is there anyway to see what that command is doing on the context menu?  "Change Desktop Background"

    I'm having a similar problem after installing Mountain Lion on a new MBP Retina. Sorry I didn't see your post before I duplicated it (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4217330?tstart=30).
