How Do I Change The Screen Picture Displayed During Logon

Just got my new iMac (10.6.2), I do not like the screen displayed on initial startup while displaying the logon options. On my MacBook Pro (10.4.11) It is a simple blue with swirls. Is there anyway to change this to another desktop screen option?

Thanks! Your directions worked perfectly. While looking through the desktop pictures I came across the cool photo of the Snow Leopard Prowling and went with that. Very high cool factor now on startup.
The following are the steps and messages I received:
Copied the selected photo to another file.
Renamed it DefaultDesktop.jpg as directed.
Dragged it into Macintosh HD/System/Library/CoreServices file.
I received a message saying that I couldn't make changes to the CoreServices file with the option to Authenticate, selected Authenticate and typed in my admin password.
Received a message stating that I was replacing DefaultDesktop.jpg with an older version, selected continue and now I have a much more pleasing picture on startup.

You do realize that only you see the photo associated with this correct - nobody else will see your photo - only you will.
You have to add the photo in the contacts app. Locate your vcard and tap Edit. Then tap the area where the photo will be located to add a photo. You can take a photo or choose one from your photos app.

How do I change the way music displays podcasts on my ipad 2?

On my iPod nano, iPhone, iMac the podcasts are listed with the most recent ones at the top. On my new iPad 2 the oldest ones are listed at the top. How do I change the display settings to show the most recent ones first?
2) If I go to check my email when I'm listening to something, when I go back to the music app it shows the top of the list again, instead of showing where I was. Frustrating!!
3) Usually the menu at the bottom of the music app can be customized (for example I want "podcasts" to be one of the choices instead of "songs"). Is there any way to change this?
Thank you very much!

Goto slideshow>music your library of songs will come up choose wat song u wish to play then start slideshow.

How can i change the screen name in my icould account?

my Apple ID used to have my Dad's name because of the billing issues.. now is changed again to have my name, but i keep seeing that my account on icloud.com still says my dad's name, so if i try to send an email through there it says my dad's name and my email address instead of my name...
how can i change the name that appears linked to my icloud account? (note that as i already sayd my Apple ID has my name now, i jsut want to know why is not my name in my icloud account?)
thank you,

I believe it can be changed by going to https://appleid.apple.com/, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in with your iCloud ID, select "Name, ID and Email Addresses", then click "Edit" next to the name listed under "Your Name" and change it as desired.
Also, if you are trying to change the sender name for your iCloud email account, you'll want to go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done. Then quit Mail (Command-Q) on your Mac and re-open it. Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.
(The image was removed in your post above because it showed your iCloud email address.)

How do I change the screen size to standard in iMovie 10?

I can't seem to find where to change the screen to standard size - in previous imovies it gave the option when creating the new project but this version doesn't seem to.

Star with:
Menu > File > New from Template Chooser > Sidebar > Page Layout > Blank > Blank Canvas
If you need to have two cards on one page then just set up one using text boxes and images to the 4 x 6 (inches?), group them and option shift drag a second copy down the page so you then have 2 and alter the copy as you need.
Change the text and images to placeholders, capture those as a Layout and then save that as a template.
http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewtopic.php?t=182&highlight=labels &mforum=iworktipsntrick
1. To make the individual card follow the instructions for Labels & Business cards but use your size:
2. To make the placeholders see Double folded Greeting Card.
3. To make the template follow Letterhead and follower sets ignoring the irrelevant bits, and only capturing one page, before saving as a template.

How do you change the Screen Resolution?

I can not figure out how to change the resolution on my screen. Everything is much smaller than what i would like and would like to enlarge everything. There is a simple way of doing this with a PC but i have not been able to figure it out on a macbook pro.

Go to System Preferences (under the Apple menu) and click on the Displays pane. If your machine is set for "Best for Display" tick the "Scaled" button and mess around with the different resolutions until you find one to your liking.
Good luck,

How do I change the background picture that is shown when i start my Mac?

On the iMacs in my school they have a different name for everyone of the after for example the band Queen and then there is a picture on the inlogg screen with queen on it. So then you log in and there is another background picture after that. I Have a macbook pro and I would like to change that "start-picture".
Right now it´s kind of boring and grey. Can you change it somehow?

It sounds like you're using Adobe Send for Outlook. Correct?
Unfortunately, there is no way to change the default text that is inserted into your message. You'll have to change it each time.
I will pass along your request to the Adobe Send team.
