HT2478 how do you make the setting to change desktop background every time you shut down your mac

how to make setting to change desktop background every time you close your mac
because i want to make it if anybody tries to change my dekstop picture i want it to go backto set desktop picture

Don't let other people access your Mac in admin mode - they might change something a lot more important than the Desktop picture.
However you can use Automator: create an Application in it, and select 'Set the Desktop Picture' from the Library. Choose the picture you want. Save the application, then go to System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items and select the Automator application you just created. This will then run at startup and set your chosen picture.

How do I make the "print pictures" box come up every time I select a group of pictures?

HP 5510 OfficeJet All-in-One printer &, Windows 7 When I select 20 or more pictures from a Windows folder, right click and select PRINT, it pops up a "Print Pictures" application that allows me to select full page, wallet size, etc and then send to the printer. However, if I only select a few pictures, it sends them directly to the printer as full page size. How do I get it to ALWAYS bring up the application?

How do you remove the serveads pop up that occurs every time you load a new web page?

This only occurs with my Mozilla Firefox browser.

See this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites
Try to reset some preferences to the default with the SearchReset extension:
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
If you do not keep changes after a restart then see:

Every time I shut down my computer, I lose all my settings - like things I removed from the dock are all back, the trackpad resets to original settings, etc. How can I get my preferences to stay like they used to? Thx!!

I recently went through a nightmare with my computer where there was an "old" operating system put on my computer and I guess File Vault was turned on. Since then I've upgraded and am now running 10.8.3 but got locked out of my old admin account when I tried to restore my computer from Time Capsule. Attempts to recover anything from my old admin account have been futile
So, I started a new Admin acct and have been trying to reconstruct my life, but every time I shut down and restart my computer, it erases/resets all my prefernces, like all the things in the Dock that I remove all come back and the track pad is always moving in the wrong direction again and has to be reset every time. Is there a way I make my prefernces stick??
BTW if anyone knows how to recover all my lost stuff that would be beyond amazing too
Thanks in advance!

Eustace, thank you so much for writing back. I will try what you suggested!!
thx for your reply - apparently when I went to the Apple store a long time ago, they restore maybe photos and itunes etc from my external hard drive (passport). I guess at that time they reinstalled an earlier operating system than my macbook came with and that somehow corrupted FileVault. apparently there was no sparse bundle (whatever that is) for my old admin account and they said that ever since the install of the older OS that it was actually NEVER backing up anything in my admin account.
Then, I bought Time Capsule and starting backing up to that instead. I started having problems with it being slow etc and then StartUp Disk full errors and didn't know what to do, so I "Restored" from Time Capsule and that's when I lost everything in my Admin account and was locked out when I tried to log in - it said File Vault error ..."
anyway - that's THAT sad story. I was told to create a new admin account and I've basically been trying to start over - even though I have a partial save of my computer in Crash Plan and I DO see a sparse bundle listed in there, but I just don't know enough about computers to know if it's something I can get back or if I am just totally doomed.
I'm afraid to reinstall anything because if there is even a remote shot that the other files are still floating around in my computer, I feel like that chance will be shot forever. I need to hire McGee from NCIS, I just KNOW he could get those files back for me!!!

How do you Shut Down your Mac?

I just converted from Windows to Mac yesterday and today I'm trying to shut down my Mac, but there's no Start button! How can I get my Start Button back?

Why would you want a start button to stop something?
Seriously, I would not routinely shut down your Mac. It is not necessary. Just set it to sleep in System Preferences > Energy Saver.
When you are not using it, just walk away. Things will work better that way. Most of my Macs don't get shut down except while restarting them for software updates. This might be once every couple of months.

For about the past week, Facebook has been taking forever to load (or just not) on my mac (OSX 10.5.8; Safari 5.0.6). Other sites are fine. I routinely empty the cache, clear history, cookies, etc. each time I shut down. Suggestions?

For about the past week, Facebook has been taking forever to load (or just doesn't) on my mac (OSX 10.5.8; Safari 5.0.6). Other sites are fine. I routinely empty the cache, clear history, cookies, etc. each time I shut down. Suggestions?

I don't use Facebook, but I can say that clearing the cache every time you shut down is excessive - unless you're sure the cache is corrupt you should leave it alone. It exists to speed up your browsing experience by loading frequently requested items from your drive rather than downloading them fresh from the internet each time. So, I would say stop clearing your cache and see what happens.
As for clearing cookies: I'm not sure what method you currently use, but I would recommend you download and install CCleaner. It's free, and allows you to build up a list of cookies that you want to clear and those you want to keep, before deleting them.
Both of these may help speed things up by reducing the amount of work Safari has to perform whilst browsing. Regardless, I'd say that, unless there's a reason you've not mentioned for performing the "purging" that you do, making these two changes should see improvements in general web browsing if not specifically when loading Facebook.

How do i make the value increase by one at a time?

Hello guys,i'm really new to Adobe Flash,i just started a few days ago and im making a minigame and i want to know how to make a value to increase by one at a time,what do i mean?
For example if my Start Value is 20,then go to 21,then 22 and so on
Thanks in advance

So as Gnast said you have to increase de variable with the value of the speed increment.
I give you a code sample that increment a dummy control speed handler that checks the value every frame.. You can edit you current conditionals that make the speed changue.
var speed: int = (speed) ? speed : 1;
function increase_speed(value: int = 0) {
speed += value;
trace("Now the speed is: " + speed);
function control_speed_hadler(e: Event) {
//some conditionals
if (this.currentFrame == 100) { //it's a loop
this.increase_speed(1);
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, this.control_speed_hadler);
I hope it help you

How do I make my flash banner change frames on a timer?

Hello, I'm new to flash and I recently just made a flash banner where you can click buttons to change frames. I also want to add the ability for it to automatically change frames after 7 seconds. I've put all of the pictures on the same frame and gave them frame labels. What would be the actionscript code I should use to make this work, along with making the buttons still functional? Also, how can I put buttons to go to the last frame from the first, and first to the last, while still making them stop at every frame? I keep trying and nothing's working.
If you'd like a more in-depth look, I've provided the .FLA file here:
http://uppit.com/v/ZJOKIQ59
The easiest way to explain it would be to re-upload an .FLA file with all of the above completed bug-free, and show me how you did it. I hope I'm not asking too much with that, but I would be able then to take a look at it and compare it to my code to learn it myself.
Thanks in advance for any help! =]

Well I done some more work this time. As i had some problems uploading files I'v made these screanshots.
- On the first frame add just this:
var secTimer:Timer=new Timer(1000,7);
startTimer();
- The actual code is on the second frame:
//secTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, tik);
secTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER_COMPLETE, skipFrameT);
next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playNextFrame);
function playNextFrame(e:MouseEvent):void {
if(currentFrame < 50){
resetTimer();
play();
else{
resetTimer();
gotoAndPlay(2);
prev_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, previousFrame);
function previousFrame(e:MouseEvent):void {
if(currentFrame <= 11){
gotoAndPlay(42);
else{
gotoAndPlay((currentFrame-10));
resetTimer();
/*function tik(e:TimerEvent):void {
trace("frame ",currentFrame,", tick", secTimer.currentCount);
function startTimer():void {
secTimer.start();
//trace ("timer Started");
function skipFrameT(e:TimerEvent):void {
//trace ("time stoped");
if(currentFrame < 50){
play();
else{
gotoAndPlay(2);
resetTimer();
function resetTimer() {
trace("Timer Reseted");
secTimer.reset();
startTimer();
- Remove your code for the buttons;
- And use 10 frames spaceing for the images:
2 to 11; 11 to 21; 21 to 31... and so on.
Hope this will be real help now.
