Default Wallpaper Folders

Hi -
So I wanted to change my desktop wallpaper. I went into System Preferences and went to desktop, but when I tried to change my wallpaper all of the folders except "Desktop Pictures" and "Solid Colors" are gone. I went to Macintoash HD > Library > Desktop Pictures and there are no folders there except for "Solid Colors." I don't know why this happened and I want to know if I can just go to my iMac and get the pictues off of there and paste them onto my MBP or I need to reinstall something . . . please let me know how I can fix this!
I have attached some screenshots of what I have for reference.
System Preferences:
Macintoash HD > Library > Desktop Pictures
Here is the additional information on my MBP:
MacBook Pro 15" (I bought it in Janurary)
2.4 GHz Intel Core i7
4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
750GB HD
Mac OS X 10.7.4
Thanks for any help!

Short answer is YES you can copy and paste those images from any Mac on to any other Mac. I did that from SL that had many more selections then Lion did.

  • How do I save my default wallpaper folders?

    I went to System Preferences>Desktop & Screen Saver. I noticed that there is a "+" to add a default folder to the current list. I added a folder, but when i quit the window of settings and come back, its not there anymore and I have to redo the process again with no prevail. It's like the iMac forgets what I told it to remember. How do I make my iMac remember the folder in the list?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Try resetting the Desktop settings file. Open Finder, select Go menu > Go to Folder, and type ~/Library/Preferences. Then, in that folder, delete "com.apple.desktop.plist" and "com.apple.systempreferences.plist", and restart. Finally, see if it works correctly

  • On my macbook pro, where is the file for the original default desktop wallpaper? ...and if i replace this will it change the default wallpaper?

    Whenever I lock my screen on my mac (by closing the lid) the login screen I see on reopening my computer is a faded version of my desktop image (which is normal, and fine) however when I close my laptop while it's in fullscreen mode (when I'm using a web browser or other application in full screen) the lock screen displays the default desktop image, which is what i'm trying to change. My macbook has always done this.
    My computer is running Mac OS X version 10.7.3
    I've been looking for a way to change the default wallpaper on my mac, so that when i lock my screen in full screen mode the lock screen displays my selected wallpaper image (the same one as is on my desktop) instead of the default (andromeda galaxy). Can anyone please provide me with the location of the default image file (if it's even accessible) or maybe even provide me with a way to fix this? Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Hi Mr. Wog,
    My guess is that once you see an estimate for replacement for hundreds of dollars, those scratches won't look too bad anymore. There are products to cover the outer casing, and some people put stickers on, or even paint (I don't recommend either, but ymmv). Good luck.

  • [SOLVED] Gnome 3.2, gdm only show the default wallpaper

    Hi all,
    I just upgrade to gnome 3.2 on 2 machines, for the first one I got a glib2 from AUR so it do not work first (it's now solve) but for the second one I still can't login into gnome.
    Gdm only show the default wallpaper and a cursor.
    Here is the gdm log :

    Solved.
    I had to enable KMS
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … Setting.29
    and remove my xorg.conf file.

  • Automatically create a custom VPN connection and set default wallpaper in a deployment...

    Hey guys,
    I've been hard at work on creating a custom deployment for our company to allow us to start rolling out Windows 7 at the first of next month. I demonstrated it to the brass today and they were blown away. All they asked for was two changes and I admit I'm stumped. Hopefully someone here can help:
    1 - Set Default Wallpaper for *all* users: I've written a script to copy our company wallpaper to "C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper" during a deployment. Is there any way I can modify that script to set that wallpaper as default for anyone who logs into that computer. Or if there's a non-script way to do this I'm all ears. I just need that wallpaper as default.
    2 - Create a VPN Connection for our company intranet: Right now this is being done manually in the Network and Sharing Center. All they are doing is choosing "Set up a new connection or network" >> "Connect to a workplace" >> "Use my Internet Connection (VPN)" and just entering our VPN server IP Address and giving the connection a name. Surely there has to be a way to automate this with a script or something? Can anyone help?
    3 - BONUS: This is just gravy, but if anyone can tell me how to "silently" or "automatically" disable the "Highlight newly installed programs" checkbox for all users using a script or something, that would be *wonderful*.
    Can anyone help me here?

    1. Go here http://blogs.technet.com/deploymentguys/archive/2008/06/06/useful-script-number-5-adjusting-the-default-user-registry-hive.aspx . There is a script that will set your default wallpaper for you.
    2. Does your company use a VPN client?
    3. This option is set in the Registry. You could create a startup script or add this to your Task Sequence. Create the Dword and set it to 0 to disable highlighting.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Start_NotifyNewApps

    Thanks for responding Rich,
    1. I actually came across that script when I was poking around the Deployment guys forums, but I noticed that it did a lot more than just set the Wallpaper. I was trying to "keep it simple" plus the registry editing sort of made me nervous. I guess I can give it a go and see if it can be made to work for me.
    2. Our company dos not use a VPN client. If you look back at my description of the process in bullet point #2 we are just using the Network and Sharing Center that is built into Windows 7 to create a simple VPN connection. That's why I'm so certain there has to be a way to automate this process. ll we are doing is entering an IP Address and giving the connection a name. Surely I can script that, or is there maybe some way to create the connection on one computer and save it as a file that I can then copy to each machine during my deployment?
    3. Thanks for answering my bonus one too. Please forgive my ignorance because I am new to a lot of this. I assume I can create a "file" with the proper registry settings that can be applied during deployment right? I've seen people crate files that do this and use the .reg extension. Do you know how to make one of these or can you link me to a tutorial that steps me through it?
    You could always edit the script to leave the other parts out.  Thanks for the clarification on the VPN Client, just wanted to make absolutely sure. Let me know how if the process you found works for you.
    For the reg key, you would want to create the key I described, add it to your scripts directory, and then add a Client Build Custom Task in StateRestore to set the key in the registry. You can do this by adding a RunLineCommand to the Task Sequence. Then the command would look like this
    cmd /c regedit /s %deployroot%\scripts\NameOfRegKey.reghttp://deploywindows7.wordpress.com/

  • No default search folders in Outlook 2010

    Hi there,
    I joined a new company and we use Exchange 2010 SP3 UR6 with Outlook 2010. All users are using Online-Mode, nothing cached. Nobody has the default search folders. I ran outlook with /cleanfinders /resetfolders, nothing.
    It's not vital of course, but I'm still wondering how that can be. New and old mailboxes only have the "root" Search Folder. Left click on it does nothing (is this normal? From my memory I don't think so), right click offers to create a new one...
    Cheers

    Hi,
    Your administrator can specify whether to create the standard default Search Folders when Outlook starts for the first time by using group policy. See:
    Please contact your administrator and confirm if he has applied the policy. For your reference:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179004(v=office.12).aspx
    Note: This article is for Outlook 2007, it also applies to Outlook 2010.
    -> Left click on it does nothing (is this normal? From my memory I don't think so), right click offers to create a new one...
    This is the default behavior, we need to use right click > New Search Folder to create new search folders.
    Hope this helps.

    Thank you for the information, that is what I wanted to know. Curiously I did not find such group policy...

  • Change default wallpaper in Windows 7

    I haven't been able to change the default wallpaper (blue thinkpad) on my T500 (Windows 7 Prof) .  I can access "Personalize", but the changes have no effect.  If I try and use the wallpapers at C|Windows|Web|Wallpaper (or use any other jpg), I get a message "This photo can't be set as wallpaper".
    Is there some kind of override on the privileges to set the wallpaper to anything but the default image?

    ... resolution is one thing, looks best when you use the monitor's native setting.
    You can change dpi and Windows supports resolution independence thruout so you can set it to 110% and having everything larger.
    I just wish Mac had it. I thought back when Adobe Postscript Display was a new holy grail we would. Must have been the "adobe" part?
    Can't rely on genius about Winodws seems to be 50/50.

  • Question about default wallpaper settings on new iPhone

    The default wallpaper for the iPhone 3GS is planet Earth. I was wondering if the option for "camera roll" (to use as wallpaper) is there by default...or is it added there after you take your first photo or only after you use a photo as wallpaper the first time.
    Strange question, I know.
    Thanks

    Page 142 of the user manual:
    Wallpaper
    You see a wallpaper background picture when you unlock iPhone. You can select one of the images that came with iPhone, or use a photo you’ve synced to iPhone from your computer.
    Set wallpaper: Choose Wallpaper and choose a picture.

    James, in case you are having a problem, these are the steps:
    1. Restart the computer holding the Command and R keys
    2. In the OS X Utilities window, select Disk Utility and click continue
    3. From the sidebar, select your internal disk drive
    4. Click the Erase tab near the top of the Disk Utility window
    5. Choose Mac OS Extended (Journales) from the pop-up menu
    6. Change the name of the disk drive if you want to
    7. Click the Erase button near the bottom right of the Disk Utility window
    8. In the confirmation dialog that appears, click Erase
    9. From the menu bar, choose Disk Utility > Quit Disk Utility
    10. In the OS X Utilities winddow, select Reinstall OS X and click Continue
    11. In the Install OS X window, click Continue
    12. Read and licenss agreement and click Agree
    13. In the confirmation dialog that appears, click Agree
    14. Select your computer's disk drive form the list of available volumes, click Install
    The installer will recreate an OS X Recovery HD, and then restart to the newly created OS X Recovery HD, and then continue with the remainder of the isntall process.  This second part may take a while so be patient.  When it completes, the iMac will restart again into the installed copy of Mac OS X as a new machine.  You will be greeted by the full Setup Assistant.

  • Exchange 2013 Issue - Cannot open default email folders. you must connect to microsoft exchange

    Hello all, this is my first post and nightmare to this issue because i believe i made mistake and overlook something. I search over the internet i cant find the best answer or maybe i missed something during the configurations. The exchange was working fine
    not after i change the setting following the method
    Configure External and Internal URL in Exchange 2012. after that, the users outlook experiencing disconnect from exchange. I restore back the previous setting but now I cant add any new user to the any Outlook version or change the server path. it will
    cause the problem which show the message below:
    "Can't open your default e-mail folders. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profile before you can synchronize your folder with your offline folders with your Outlook data file (.ost)"
    I restarted the server and check all the Exchange services are running. The Outlook web is running and they able to receive and send out. The existing link to the exchange are still working so I not really sure what setting should i look into. I was thinking
    about restoring back from Window Server Backup but was advise not to do it unless there are ways to look back the previous setting from the backup.
    One of my ex-boss told me could be the Exchange Certificate but wasn't sure.
    I really appreciate someone could advice and help me resolved this issue.

  • Default user folders on Leopard 10.5 clients

    Environment:
    Mixed network, using AD for authentication and Xserve for Application control and home folders.
    When binding client to AD i am using AFP for home folder path. I do not allow mobil profiles and also not forcing local home.
    Problem:
    When user log in to client computer the default folders (Movies, Music, etc) are not being created. The only folders that are there are Desktop and Library.
    Example: User's iMovie project is not saving because the Movies folder is missing. The user is also able to go into their home folder and manually create the Movies, Music etc. folders, but aren't they supposed to be created automatically when the user login?
    Extra info.
    Permissions set on the home folder.
    POSIX
    user - w/r
    AdminGroup - w/r
    Others - r/o
    ACL (coming from windows)

    Did anyone have this problem before? Any solutions?
    Thanks

    Its Not Just me WHo is Havin this Problem... Every Leopard user who has Mainstage also has this problem...And I have Only one Login [Admin Login]

  • Desktop Wallpaper folders disappearing/reappearing in System Prefs

    I recently upgraded to a 15 Inch MBP with Retina Display and I have a problem with desktop wallpapers.  I migrated everything across from my old mac and when I go into System Prefs > Desktop & Screen Saver there is a list of all the folders I've added with all my wallpapers in.  I've deleted these out because the wallpapers are no longer suitable for the new display.  I've then added in a couple of new folders with retina wallpapers in and everything is fine.  The problem occurs when I quit System Prefs and go back into it, all my old folders have reappeared and all my new folders have disappeared.  Due to this problem sometimes when I boot up my MBP the wallpaper has changed to something random.
    I'm getting a bit fed up with removing and adding the folders back in now, is there any reason why it might be doing this or is there a solution?

    I purchased a Macbook Pro (2012, non-retina) and I have the same issue.
    I went to the Genius Bar, and we went through the same steps I took before (deleting plist files, repairing permissions). The issue is system-wide; My admi account, Guests, new Users all experience it.
    We could not solve the issue. The Genius' best answer was that this generation might have a bug in its particular build of 10.7.4. I ultimately had a choice of waiting for Apple to discover the bug, or live with it.
    I'm about to attempt a reinstall of Lion. I doubt it will help with anything, since I can't download a fresh copy from the App Store (apparently having 10.7.4 preinstalled means I can never have access to a fresh copy).
    I'm concerned, as I have no idea if this sort of issue is contained only to this preference, or if it can end up screwing with me later on, say in the middle of an iPad app I'm developing.
    The only work-around I can suggest: Don't close System Preferences for the entire time the Mac is on. If you log out or reboot, you'll have to set up your folders again, but if you never close System Preferences, they will remain.

  • How do I set a default for folders to be read & write

    I have an IMAC with OSX v10.6. I am on a network with a few other computers. My disk is used to house shared folders. When I create a new folder or file from Word it is set to "read only" and I have to go into the file info and set it to "read & write". This may be a simple fix but I would like to know how to change my preferences to fix this issue.
    THANKS!
