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.

When I close my lid to make the computer sleep and I open it back up again when I am ready to use it the screen turns on and then turns black. I have to press random keys to make the screen show again. Any help is greatly appreciated!
First, before you sleep your MBP, make sure you either scroll down the Apple menu to sleep your machine, or do it even more easily by pressing CMD-OPTION - DiskDrive (upper right hand corner of your keyboard). I wouldn't just close your machine to let it sleep.
It's hard to know exactly what's happening, but here are a few pointers.
1. Go to System Preferences/Energy Saver and make sure you've set a sleep time of more than two or three minutes. Your machine may be trying to sleep too early. In the same preferences, set Computer Sleep to more than ten minutes, to make sure you don't get an unintentional sleep.
2. Take a look for third-party applications you might have installed.

My MacBook Pro is really hot and the fan is on constantly. It didn't use to do this, does anyone know why this is happening? I have a very short battery life, so I have to keep it plugged in probably more than I should.
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.

I purchased the Killers new album and for some reason now my computer says it can't find the files. So I tried to download the album again off my iTunes acount but the cloud button won't appear. Does anyone know why this is happening?
These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
Audiobooks (and ringtones) are currently a one-time only download. I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them who are requiring the one-time only download restriction. To get it onto your other devices you will need to sync it via a computer. Depending upon what country that you are in, Audible.com have their own app (Audiobooks from Audible) so you might be able to buy direct from them, though I don't know whether you can buy within their app or download audiobooks directly from them within the app e.g. whether they need to be copied via a computer. -
My photos are not showing up as layers in the layers panel, only as one layer, so I am not able to make changes to the layers. Does anyone know why this is happening? Am I downloading them from my camera wrong? I have watched the video and the photos don't open that way on my layers panel. Any help would be appreciated, I would like to edit out the background and turn it a different color.

Photos from cameras or scans have only one layer (the 'background' layer).
You can start with that 'background' layer and duplicate it or add other layers in the editing process. For instance you can make a selection of a subject and put it on another layer; a common use is to desaturate the 'background' and to keep the color in the selected subject in your newly created layer. -

I have a canon printer with a mac computer. For some reason whenever I print something the ink on the page is all green not black like it should be. I put in a new black ink cartrridge but that didn't change anything.Does anyone know why this is happening?
You posted in the OS 9 & below forum. What OS X version are you using? What model Canon printer? Canon printers have a test print capability (open the Printer Utility). What happens when you do a test print? Are all the printer cartridges in their proper location? Sometimes when you print "black", the printer uses a mixture of the colors to get "black". In the Printer Utility, check the levels of the other cartridges. There may be one color that is clogged.

A year ago I brought a 1 TB hard drive (My Passport), I have not used it for over 4 months and now when I use the USB cord to connect it to my mac, it does not register the hard drive. Does anyone know why this is happening?
The beeps could be caused by something as simple as a loose internal wire or connection. If it is under warranty (not sure how long that is, as WD drives range from 1 to 5 years depending on the model's series - I think "my passport" drives are 3 years) you could contact WD and ask them about it.
If it is out of warranty, you could also try opening the case and check the connections - the drive may be fine, and there have been posts on TomsHardware forums of people getting the beeps, opening up the case and the drive is fine, just some wire worked loose. -
Cannot download songs get error 5002. Does anyone know why this is happening?
I was able to download about 4 new songs today, but then started to get an error 5002 when trying to download a few more. Does anyone know why this happening and how to resolve? I've already shut down and restarted my phone, logged out of itunes and relogged in...neither solved the issue.
It didnt do anything for me...
just to make sure... of the correct step...
rm -rf ./.itmstransporter
then
sudo /Applications/iTunes\ Producer.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes\ Producer
About that folder, I searched for it, but couldnt find it, is it inside the Itunes Producer packages?
is there a way to localize it in finder? -

I have a Intel-iMac running snow leopard and programs that I run and then quit wont release the memory the were using I have 3GB of Ram so I should have plenty available. Has anyone else had this problem? Im tired of restarting to get my memory back.

I realize that 3 GB is not much today but 95% of what I use is Safari, Firefox, and Mail and I never used to have this problem. Im using Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Its a 2.4 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac.
Browsers tend to use a lot of RAM, particularly if you have multiple tabs open. If you want to see where your RAM is being used open Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) and you can see. If your machine has the ability to upgrade the RAM that is what I'd strongly recommend you do. -
I suddenly cant open ebay on my laptop, does anyone know why this would happen
I'm trying to open ebay through firefox and for some reason it wont now open. I have no problem opening anything else. Does anyone have any advice?
The current version of Firefox for OS 10.4 is v3.6.24. Plus you can use a newer version of Firefox called TenFourFox with OS 10.4.
Have you tried a different browser like Safari?

A message pops up saying 'Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example, \/).' The documents are certainly not open, and I don't know why they would be invalid. Please help!
www.doc.investintech.com/Check for Microsoft updates, the docs could be old, and need a converter:
A worst do a command P, and turn to a PDF and send like that (yes it *****)
Also try a copy and paste to a new doc.
Hope this helps. -
Question in the subject title...
I have to admit that iTunes Match is out of my league because I do not use it. Turning that off might make the difference, but turning it off might screw everything up as well. I know very, very little about iTunes Match, but that does present a different spin on this.
Knowing the very little that I do know, with iTunes Match on - there should be no reason to sync the albums since they should be available on your iPad via Settings>iTunes and App Stores>iTunes Match>On.
Hopefully someone that uses Match will chime in. -
Why won't the PPt show when I am trying to record and video tape a PPt presentation on Panopto?
Don't rely on 'Preview'.
Share/Export as .ibooks file and then drag that to iTunes and sync to your iPad.
Still no joy, find a pre-processing recipe ( that includes export for iPad) that doesn't spoil the quality in the process.
Just keep in mind that low quality in means low or lower quality out, in this example.
