How do I change what the desktop background is for new desktops?

I am on OS X Mavericks and I want to change my desktop background so that every new desktop I create has that background, but whenever I change the background, it only changes the background for the desktop I was currently in and all new desktops I create still have the old background. How do you change the background for new desktops?

Create a new Desktop and activate that desktop.
Control click to open the contextual menu>>Change background.
When it opens System preference/Desktop&ScreenSaver but takes you back to Desktop #1, simply drag the SysPreference window to the new Desktop to make the change. You can do this by mission control .

How do i change what the stop button does

Is it possible to change the behavior of the 'STOP' button depending on the state of the 'PLAY' button? What I would like is this; When Logic is playing the 'STOP' button stops play leaving the playhead where it is. If the stop button is pressed again (while logic is stopped) the playhead returns to it's previous position.
This is how I've always used the transport in cubase and it works really well when tracking.
Thanks in advance!

Right-click, or click-hold on the stop button to bring up a list of possible behaviors.

How to find out what the latest update is for something from apple's site?

i've never been able to do this, and has been a recurring problem for many years:
how can you, using apple's web site -- presumably the support or downloads section -- find out what the latest update for/of a certain product is?
without going into the details, the software update app is of no use to me.
for example, i have a airport extreme base station 54 mbps. how do i go about finding out what it's latest software is? do such products not have a web page which has the latest update linked to from it?
why is it so hard, impossible i find, to find out what the latest software is?
any pointers much appreciated. (i'm not particularly looking for the answer to "what't the latest update for a airport extreme base station 54 mbps?" but a general method for finding out the latest update for anything using apple's web site)
thanks very much.

If you use the Advance Search function:
http://search.info.apple.com/
you can filter results to give downloads for the search words airport extreme base station. The return will be in date order from newest to oldest. Yo ucan also designate word pairs of groups to narrow the search.

How do you know what the data usage was for and why? It shows you date and usage but not the reason.

How can you see what data usage was for on the bill? It only shows the date and usage but not the reason for the usage.

You can not see this info on VZW's site. There are apps for smartphones that will break down the info though, but by site or what was downloaded

Messages: How Can I Tell What The Unread Badge Is For?

Often recently I end up with a "1" in the unread badge for Messages (ie, stuck to the dock icon and the command-tab icon), and cannot get it to go away or figure out what it is for. None of the visible conversations have the "unread" dot next to them, and I can't just open up one-by-one all the closed conversations from my buddy list to randomly guess if they are the source of some notification.
Is this just a weird UI limitation at the moment, or is there a way to figure out what it's talking about? Right now I have to quit Messages to "clear" this distracting (and indiscernable) notification?
I can't take a screenshot of the command-tab feature, but here's what I mean as it appears in the dock.

Hi
At present this happens to some people.
In some cases the number can be a Minus figure.
It can be improved by deleting com.apple.imservice.iMessages plist and then restarting Messages.
You do this by having the Finder as the App on the Menu Bar.
Use the Go Menu > Go to Folder and type ~/Library/Preferences in the dialogue box that appears.
Find the .plist and drag it to the Trash.
Restart Messages.

How do I change what the middle mouse button/wheel does?

I feel like an idiot asking this, but I can't figure this out...
I've plugged in a bog standard 2 button + scroll wheel third button mouse, but I can't get the middle mouse button/wheel to behave like it would in Windows. If I click it, it changes programs, hold it it brings up the task switcher thing. It's like I'm pressing command + tab.
I want it to work normally, where the program I'm using the middle button responds, not the OS. Like in Firefox, I want to be able to close tabs with the middle mouse button, and open new links with it...instead all it can do is switch programs.
Is there a way to do this? Am I missing something obvious?

Err...I don't know what happened, but I rebooted and now it's working like normal (knock on wood!). Noooo idea how it ended up in that state!

How do I know what the wifi password is for my 4th Gen time capsule

I am only new to this time capsule thing… I am pretty savvy in things as technology goes but I just can't figure out how to get the wifi password on the 4TH GEN time capsule I have tried everything I know I was not the one to set it up and my mother let the tech do it and paid no attention to the finer details I would have. PLEASE HELP!!! THANK YOU.

You will learn grasshopper!!
looked like I didn't even need the reset but this is great and simple way I hope other people use it!!!! Thank you again!!!! From a not as seasoned techy as you!!! I aspire to be as versed someday!!!
You must use the reset to remove the admin password if it is set.. If the tech left it as default the TC throws up an error.
It is one I choose to ignore since security on the Airport routers is pathetic anyway.
Default password is public btw.
And as long as you access via ethernet then you do not need the wireless password. But the way the utility works now is to set the password the same for both wireless and admin access. So you need to reset.
Pressing the button for 1sec is called a soft reset.
Read the apple documentation on reset. There are 3 levels of reset..
Resetting an AirPort base station FAQ - Apple Support
There is an enormous amount of info Apple have available in documents and technical notes.. and apple has the worst search engine known to man.. so use google to find it.. !!

I figured out what the shipping criteria is for new phones. :)

This must be like school. Since my last name begins with a "W" I am at the end of the list. Maybe Verizon is shipping by last name?
You know I am joking! At this point I can only try to make some humor and keep going about my day. I just hope my phone works good when it does arrive....

To find your user name you would go into the hotsync application and check the top right hand corner.
FYI creating a duplicate user name on the PC without the file extensions in place will cause a problem and possibly compete data loss.
If the user data is not on the PC and it asks you to create a new account on this PC, go for it. It will push the data from the device to the PC. Minimal chance of data loss.

When I upgraded from v4 to v5 my bookmarks was lost. I do have the one that is in the firefox toolbar. Apparently I had a bookmarks add-on. V5 changed my browser how can I determine what the program was and if the bookmarks are still there?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

I have a macbookpro with a second monitor connected using an Apple connector. The two screens show different parts of the desktop. My cat walked across the keyboard, and now the two monitors are showing the same thing. How do I undo what the cat did?

Have you tried HELP in FINDER? If you open HELP and enter 'displays' in the field in the upper right hand corner you will get a list of topics on setting up monitors. Specifically read 'Setting up multiple displays to show the same image' and 'Setting up multiple displays as an extended desktop'.
Ciao.

Mac shut down due to problem; I rebooted fine. how do I determine what the problem was?

mac shut down due to problem; I rebooted fine. how do I determine what the problem was?

When shut down and rebooted, the Mac OS X does background maintenance on the system. That can solve minor issues.
Beyond this, it is a good idea to run Disk Repair yourself just to make sure.
Reboot with the option key held down. On the screen that comes up select the Recovery disk icon and Continue.
On the next screen Clcik Disk Utility and Continue.
In DU, in the list on the left select the drive to be repaired - click the item that is indented to the right, not an an item whose name starts on the far left.
Click First Aid, then Repair Disk.
After that is done, quit DU and restart as usual.

How can I tell what the iTunes build is before I download?

I am having difficulty finding out what the iTunes build is for the current download from the Apple site. I am running iTunes 7.6 (29); I assume the "29" is the build for my installed version. I also assume that Software Update will ignore build changes unless the version changes.
I do not want to download and install the current iTunes build unless it is different from my currently installled app. How can you tell what the specific version and build are from the Apple download site?
Thanks!

I am running iTunes on Leopard.
