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

    How do I save emails in a specific folder in my Documents, NOT in the email account folders.
    Thx,
    Beginner

    Open the email, do a save as have it save to the location you want from the drop down menu (You could select desktop and then drag it into a folder in documents) and click save as a .rtf.
    Or you can copy and paste into a document (Word, Pages, Text Edit...) Make a folder and put it in docs.

  • 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!

    The Firefox [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Page+Zoom Page Zoom] feature does a domain by domain level of saving the users preferred zoom level settings, there is no default Page Zoom level setting in Firefox, as with some other browsers.

  • 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 as default, not to: Rely on sytem fonts only, do not use document fonts

    I get odd characters all the time until I uncheck this box in preferences before I print.   I want that as my default, but I can't see how to change that setting to a default setting.  I don't understand why you would not want it as a defualt unless the printing speed is 1/2 second faster using sytem fonts.
    Anyone have and idea how to change this so I don't have to preview every web page I want to capture to make sure it printed correctely instead on a bunch of gibberish.
    You get to this point by chosing Adobe as the printer, then clicking on preferences, then unchecking this box.   I just can't see how to make that change the default setting.
    I am using Acrobat Standard version 9.4.6

    Open your Printers, (right click Adobe PDF) select Properties, fromt the Printing Preferences tab, make the change

  • How Do I Save My Default Profile Settings?

    Hi - this is driving me crazy so there obviously is a simple answer that I just can't find.
    In the Develop Module I want to enable Lens Correction and Camera Calibration (from Adobe Standard to Camera Standard) and keep those settings as my Default Profile.
    If I understand correctly, this Profile will be used when I import images into LR (4) always.
    I know I can make these changes and apply them to images already imported but is there a way to change the Default Profile so it remains set to my options and not goes back to "Adobe Standard" for example?
    Thanks

    No, this is not the same as creating a new profile. That involves converting one of your raw images to DNG and then modifying and creating a profile using the DNG profile creator. I played around with it a little a couple of years ago and decided I didn't want to bother with it. So I just use the profiles that are provided from Adobe.
    If you have a Canon or Nikon camera you should have profiles that match the different camera settings. You can try the different profiles on any image to find your preference. If you find that one of those profiles is the one that you use most of the time then you can make that profile to be part of your default settings. Those default settings can be modified at any time, if you should find it necessary to do so in the future.

  • How do I save to individual folders on my hard drive?

    How do I save items to individual folders on my hard drive? When I try now it shows the Macintosh HD icon as an option but not the individual folders I've created there. I think I need to go in to Automator but I must be doing something wrong. I selected "Folder Action" then added several items about PDF
    documents and add photos to album. I've specified Macintosh HD as the location and hit run.
    It appears to have run correctly because it asks me if I want to save the results. A friend of mine runs several web sites. He has asked me to serve as his off site backup so I'm trying to download several years of material. Saving everything to the HD and then dragging each item to where it belongs will take forever.
    I'm hoping someone can help.
    Thanks Bill

    Press the blue button with the triangle in the Save dialog box.

  • How do I save the contents of all of my saved mail folders?

    How do I save the contents of all of my saved mail folders?

    Oh, I see...
    All the mail is stored in ~/Library/Mail (and its associated subdirectories).
    Your Library holder is hidden by default under Mountain Lion (and Lion, too?), so hold the Option key when selecting the Window menu in the Finder to add it to the menu, from where you can access it.

  • How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file?

    How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file with Acrobat 9.0.0 Standard?

    I am not seeing that behaviour. If I right-click a link to a .pdf file, I get the file saved with the original filename.
    Maybe one of the settings in about:config controls that?
    pdfjs.previousHandler.preferredAction is a setting that has a value of 4 with my setup. I have no idea what that means, and I could not find any explanation anywhere. You could try using different numbers for that value and see if any make any difference. Why has nobody bothered to explain that setting anywhere?

  • How can i specify the default application to save a read later doc in Instapaper

    I have an Instapaper account, so that I can mark some online web pages to 'read later' if I wish to do this. I have successfully put the Instapaper 'Read Later' borkmarklet on the dock of my iMAC.
       However, whenever, I come across a web page or blog that I wish to read later, and click the 'Read Later' bookmarklet on my dock, it throws up an error message that reads ' There is no default application specified to open the URL' and so I am now at a dead end.
    Can someone explain to me where and how I can find the default application to get round this problem. By the way, I did not find this problem with Instapaper's 'read later' bookmarklet on my old Windows PC, where I was able to store pages for reading later with this app, and also to transfer them automatically to my kindle through the wifi connection at home.
    I hope someone can assist... Or is there another way - (apart from Instapaper which worked okay with Windows)- to save web pages for reading later with MAC -
    Thanks

    This is pretty simple in Safari, in the upper left of Safari you will see an icon that looks like pair of glasses, this is where you collect webpages for you to read later. The feature is called Reading List and looks like:

    Well I figured out my problem lol
    Email a- original apple id email
    Email b- original gamecenter id
    Email c- the new gamecenter id
    Email d- the temporary email for switching stuff
    So originally I had Email a for apple id and icloud, and Email b for gamecenter. I wanted my gamecenter and apple id to be the same. Well today I went on my moms phone and saw that I was still on family sharing under Email d. That's when it hit me, your gamecenter, apple id, and icloud are the same account. By switching my gamecenter id to Email a, I turned that into my new apple id. Now my apple id is back to normal, and my gamecenter is Email c (I don't use Email b anymore so that's why I wanted to switch it).
    Basically, my problem was being stupid enough not to think that your gamecenter was connected to your apple id. My problem came from switching my gamecenter email. So that's how to avoid this, don't be an idiot and think your gamecenter is a whole different account. For anyone who ever has this problem, that's why it happened haha.

  • When I create a stickie note, I can not save any font size other than the default.  How do I save a stickie with a larger or different font?

    How do I save a stickie note with a different font size other than the default?  When I create a note and save it using a larger font, it reopens with the default.

    Unlikely, I'm afraid.
    The LMS has no control over the playbar that pauses or plays the Captivate content.
    In a Multi SCORM package, the LMS also may be showing a TOC in the SCORM player with links to launch the lesson modules.  This TOC is in addition to the TOC inside the Captivate project file which gives access to sections of the module by jumping to slides that begin those sections.  But the LMS doesn't usually give you any control over the look and feel or functionality of that TOC either. 
    If your client is adamant that they want complete control over these areas, then your best option may be NOT to build this course with Captivate but build it from the ground up with another tool.  E.g. Flash, or Dreamweaver.  Either way, that will add a lot more time and expense to the project.  But if the client has the budget and is unwilling to budge on their requirement, then that's what I would be telling them to do.

  • How do you create a save as default folder for MP3 files used Captivate text to audio voices files?

    How do you create a save as default folder for MP3 files used Captivate text to audio voices files?

    Hi Ed
    Thank you for contacting me, however I already know how to save text to
    audio files via timeline using the Export feature.
    So my question was not entirely clear and I apologize for that.  To explain
    further, whenever I save a text to audio file, captivate takes me to a
    default save as folder where I then have browse back to my production
    folder where I am keeping all my Txt to Aud files.  This is very tedious
    process when you have alot of files to save.  So my question was is there a
    way to configure captivate so I can make my production folder the default
    file for whenever I save a Txt to Audio file through Export feature that
    the system automatically takes me to that production folder, and I am
    spared the long tedious process of saving the file manually to the
    prodcution folder I want.
    I have copy the pathway to the production folder in the URL filed in the
    Save As dialoge box and that workaround as cut the work down but I still
    have to paste that URL field to point the file to the right folder. So it
    would be nice if I could do everything automatically.  Microsoft makes this
    capability in their MS Office applications, so I was thinking Adobe might
    do the same thing.  Your help with this would be appreicated,
    Thanks
