Create a new SSID and password for your router.

Every time I turn my mac off, the desktop background changes. It always returns to the same picture, which was the second or third thing I changed my desktop to after getting my mac.

Every time I turn my mac off, the desktop background changes. It always returns to the same picture, which was the second or third thing I changed my desktop to after getting my mac. I have background switching unchecked in my preferences, and I have never selected it as an option. Also, when I go to my preferences, it will show the icon of the picture I changed it to, even though the desktop itself has switched back.

I would start with some basic troubleshooting.

Every time I turn the computer off or put it in sleep mode... when I come back my wallpaper is gone. I have to keep going to my pics and getting it back. Does anyone know why this keeps happening??

Every time I turn the computer off or put it in sleep mode... when I come back my wallpaper is gone. I have to keep going back to my pics and getting it back.

Are you choosing it from one of these folders (in my screenshot) or you can also put that picture into the correct folder. The path is:
HD > Library > Desktop Pictures
If you add it to the folder manually, please restart your computer.
And yes, letting it sleep is a good idea, or else the startup disk will spin and the screen may suffer from image persistence if you leave a window or image parked in the same spot too long, so the screensave is a good idea.

Time settings messed up every time I turn the compter off

Hello,
I just got my macbook pro a week ago, and every time I shut down the computer the time seetings get messed up. I unchecked the automatic update, I even locked the settings and it still does it. It is really annoying to set the time correctly every time I turn the computer on. Could anybody help me with that ?

Hi
Interesting, this is normally as a result of the internal battery being dead. Is this Macbook new or second-hand? If new, & from Apple, would get in contact with them.

Dies every time i turn my car off

in my car i have my ipod using transmitter and charger. when i turn off car, i ALWAYS turn off my ipod by holding center button down. somehow every time i come back and turn my car on the ipod is dead and it was like i left it on the whole time WHICH I DO NOT. i used to have the ipod nano 4th or whatever and it never did this...i would do same thing and when i turned car back on, it picked up on the shuffle/song right where i left off at. of course if i keep ipod on it would die but i make sure i turn it on because i dont' want to have it start over in the shuffle....help!!!

Hello asiankelsey,
In order to turn off this version of the iPod Nano, you would need to hold down the sleep/wake button on the top of the device.
Turn iPod nano off completely, or to turn it back on: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds.

I lose my Wi-Fi network settings every time I turn off

Hello, and thank you for your time. Just bought my iPod Touch yesterday, and am loving it.
One problem I'm having, though. I can't keep the settings for the network I want to use.
I configured my router's network on it. Put in WEP and the security key. I was connected to Wi-Fi just fine, no problems.
Then I turned the iPod off. When I turned it back on, even though the iPod is configured with the router (which is on private network, so my "lovely" neighbors don't leech off it), my network disappears. My PlayStation 3 that I'm not using for a network appears every time I turn on and off. But, every time I turn the iPod on, I have to put in the information for the network I want to use (name, security, password) all over again.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Sorry if there's an answer here already and I missed it. Thank you.
Walter

You need to select to "remember" the access point so it automatically reconnects unless by "private network" you mean that you're not broadcasting the SSID. If that's the case, it won't reconnect automatically-it's a feature, not a bug. My advice, broadcast the SSID and set a strong password. Hiding it doesn't do much for you from a security standpoint. Setting a 40 digit random password does.
If this doesn't work, do a Restore.

Why do I have to select my network using Network Diagnostics every time I turn on my MacBook Pro and go to Safari?

Every time I turn on my MacBook Pro, before I can use any programs that access the internet (i.e. iTunes, iBank, etc), I have to go into Safari where it prompts me to perform network diagnostics. (I use a wep encrypted wireless network.)
During network diagnostics, I select my network and at some point it tells me that my network appears to be working properly and then defaults to the Apple.com webpage. I then Quit network diagnostics and exit Safari and then I am fine to do whatever I need to in the other programs.
This is quite annoying and I wish it would just remain on my network without me having to do this every time I turn it on. Is there some thing I can do or some setting that I am missing that would allow me to avoid this?

Is your network hidden? See:
WiFi, Internet problems, possible solutions
Secure your network
WiFi security issues, at home and WiFi hotspots
Change the name of the network and the password, then connect manually and when it asks to save in Keychain do so.
If it's still giving problems and it'a not the router, it's the computer, then go through this list.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied and renamed asiTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Even if you have the media you can use selected steps from the tip to ensure that you don't lose settings and data from the device as a result of switching libraries.
A large number of users with this issue have been using AVG Anti-Virus which appears to be implicated in the problem. AVG have released a patch which might help, so if you use AVG then I would update that first. I'd also be interested to know which AV you use in case others may cause similar issues. I recommend excluding the iTunes folder from any real-time and scheduled AV scanning process. Another possible cause could be automatic backup tools.

Prompted to sing in iCloud and iMessages every time i turn on Mac Book Pro

In the last few weeks, every time I turn on my Mac Book Pro, I get a pop up asking me to sign into iCloud and I messages. After doing so, I go to my Messages-Preferences and Accounts to ensure my iMessages is active and it is not so I have to re-enter my Apple id . Once entered, iMessages is activated but when I go to Account - Details, it asks me a window comes up and says, To view account information of (iMessage ), enter Apple ID; I do enter my ID then a pop up comes up with "account details" It lists my username and below two spaces for my password which has dots to represent characters. I know that password is not my current ID password as it is shorter. When I type in my current password, it tells me I must use a password I have not used in the past year. I don't understand? IT is not like I am changing a password because I have not clicked on the button below called " manage Apple ID; where i can change password etc".
Anyone can help me on this?
I would be happy to insert snap shots of the windows but don't know how to do so using my macbook, only my iPhone at this time.

You showed a kernel panic file from OS X, apprantly Log Me In is installed into OS X or running when you log in.
You should be using the developers installer/unistaller to remove Log Me In from OS X.
Somehow it's in OS X, I don't know, but it's there and you need to remove it. I'm not dealing with Windows, just OS X.
Talk to Log Me In people and find out what is installed where so you can do a manual deletion out of OS X.
If that doesn't work, you have to reboot holding the Shift key down manually search for any Log Me In or Himachi files on your computer, in your System/Library/Extensions folder too, use the free Easy Find.

Hello mrmacjohn,
Verifying that any iCloud account that may be signed in is signed out should resolve this error.
On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.

I hope U can tell me what to do and all my add ons are ok and my extensions are all good too!! thanks for helping me??

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the extensions.* files (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Profiles
New files will be created when required.
See "Corrupt extension files":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Unable+to+install+add-ons
If you see disabled or not compatible extensions in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the Tools button at the left end side of the Search Bar ("Find Updates" button in older Firefox versions) to check if there is a compatibility update available.
If this hasn't helped then also delete the addons.sqlite file.
You can also check for problems with preferences.<br />
Rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default value.
