HT2478 Why does this often just revert back to the stock Mountain Lion background? Not that it's ugly or anything, its just annoying having to go back and change the settings all the time!

Yeah, why?

Hi Ethan,
This is a user to user forum, so there is nothing we can do to respond to your post. However, you can send feedback to Apple: Apple - Feedback and you can complete the Apple Retail Store survey: Apple Retail Store - Feedback
If you are now experiencing a "grinding noise" when you start up the Mac, then take it back to the store. Also, if you want to reproduce the original problem, then play a game at home until it occurs, then take it to the Store (don't turn it off - just close the lid). Beyond doing a diagnostics test, there is very little else they can do if you are having a problem that you cannot reproduce when they are looking at the machine. Sort of like one of those annoying squeaks or groans in car. If you cannot reproduce it at the dealer, they can't fix it....Not sure what else you would expect them to do if they have no way to see the problem occurring, and the tests come back fine....
Cheers,
GB

  • Why does this error keep coming back every time I wish to download a rented movie? Err = -50.

    I keep getting an error after renting a movie. It's usually Err = -50. I tried deleting my downloads folder (as instructed) which has only worked a few times now. The error keeps coming back. Also, I have a movie stuck in my downloads. It won't go away.

    Hi there
    This often occurs if your computer does not meet the minimum system requirements for viewing HD content in iTunes. You can find more information, including system requirements, in the article below.

  • Why does offfline storage always revert back to 75 MB?

  • FAQ: Why does my layer (camera) move back and forth between keyframes of equal value?

    In some cases, the Auto Bezier spatial interpolation for Position keyframes can cause undesired back-and-forth (boomerang) motion between two keyframes with equal values. In such a case, you can change the earlier keyframe to use Hold interpolation or change both keyframes to use Linear interpolation.
    To change the default to linear interpolation, choose Edit > Preferences > General (Windows) or After Effects > Preferences > General (Mac OS), and select Default Spatial Interpolation To Linear. Changing the preference setting does not affect keyframes that already exist or new keyframes on properties for which keyframes already exist.
    For more information, including links to some video tutorials that demonstrate this problem and its solutions, see the "Controlling change with interploation" section of After Effects Help.

    You only asked the question 4 times.  You have to repeat it at least 10 times to get an answer here, and then only if you supply useful info about your phone.

  • Why does my iPhone camera keep telling me "Cannot take photo" there is not enough available storage to take a photo, etc? I have it hooked up to ICloud and the cameral roll???

    Why does my iPhone camera keep telling me "cannot take photo" there's not enough storage, but I have my phone/camera roll hooked up to Icloud and have purchased additional storage???

    iCloud storage has nothing to do with remaining memory on the phone - only memory for backups and Photostream.  The photo has to first be stored on the phone and copies sent to iCloud.  If there is not enough available memory on the phone, the photo can't be taken.
    To determine the remaining memory on the phone:
    Settings > General > Usage > Storage
    The Camera Roll is meant for temporary storage of photos, which should be imported to an app on your computer and deleted from Camera Roll.  You can then sync back those photos which you want to keep on the phone.

  • How long does it take to install ios 7 on an iphone 4s? Note that it was previously on an old ios4 hardware. Many thanks!

    how long does it take to install ios 7 on an iphone 4s?
    Note that it was previously on an old ios4 hardware.
    I downloaded ios7, and it started installing it via wi-fi 3 hours ago.
    Unfortunatelly it seems stuck halfway through.
    Should I assume it's stuck or is it normall?
    Many thanks!

    mine took a long time lost patience and rebooted it and then I started from the begining
    so guess I made it take even longer and I did it over usb

  • While trying to instal Mountain Lion OS on my macbook pro, I got the error message that my HD was damaged and it reverted to my Lion OS. Why does this happen? I bought the OS online through the app store

    While trying to instal Mountain Lion OS on my macbook pro, I got the error message that my HD was damaged and it reverted to my Lion OS. Why does this happen? I bought the OS online through the app store.

    The Mountain Lion installer looks at your internal drive to make certain that it's error-free before continuing installation. You should have an application named "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app" in your Applications folder now so you shouldn't have to download it again. Do this...
    Boot to your Lion recovery partition by holding down both the Command and the R keys while booting. Open Disk Utility from the Recovery partition and select your hard drive (usually named "Macintosh HD" unless you've renamed it) and click on Verify Disk. If you come up with any errors, click on Repair Disk. At the end of the cycle you will get a message that the disk was successfully repaired or a message that the hard drive could not be repaired.
    If you're able to repair the disk, just reboot as normal and open the "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app" and the installation will proceed. If Disk Utility was unable to repair the disk, you need to get to your local Apple Store as soon as possible so that they can see if the disk is salvageable or beyond repair.
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • HT1222 Why does my 4s just close an app all of the sudden and the apple logo will come up like it's shutting down but doesn't it will go to lock screen after that

    Why does my 4s just close an app all of the sudden and the apple logo will come up like it's shutting down but doesn't it will go to lock screen after that.

    It's definitely a crash. I'd maybe look into reinstalling the operating system.

    Make sure you back up first though.

    I advise to reply to the one you want to reply to.
    You have had good information here. I will not repeat that here.
    I would like to add:
    you have incompatible software: start in SafeMode, read Woodmeister and see if it is free of issues.
    Akamai is crap software needed or not, Huawei the same.
    It is very possible that the keygenerator you used for generating a key for some softwares has infected your mac.
    The non-regular software with the false key(s) are not compatible probably or generate malware. Luckily you can not update them automatically because the keygenerator blocked the software for contacting the developer... I propose to consider getting rid of those softwares by really good uninstalling.
    You have a beautiful mac, don't degenerate it with crapped software. There are alternatives for expensive software, for example Adobe Photoshop has a free alternative (with a less beautiful interface) in GIMP. And so on.

  • TS4268 My iMessage doesn't work on my iPad. My software is up to date, wifi is working, apple ID is working but the verification stops and goes back to sign on. Why does this happen?

    My iMessage doesn't work on my iPad. My software is up to date, wifi is working, apple ID is working but the verification stops and goes back to sign on. Why does this happen?

    Look at no. 5 in this text which was copied from Apple's support site for troubleshooting Messages and FaceTime activation.
    Troubleshooting Apple ID activation
    After each step, toggle iMessage and FaceTime off and then on again in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Ensure that you have an active Internet connection. You can complete activation using Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection. Check your Wi-Fi network using standard Wi-Fi network troubleshooting.
    If you receive an error when signing in to your Apple ID, visit myinfo.apple.com, sign in to your account, and ensure that the primary email address has been verified.
    Ensure that FaceTime has not been restricted: Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
    In Settings > General > Date & Time, ensure that Set Automatically is on. If Set Automatically is on, but the incorrect time zone is displayed, turn Set Automatically off and then choose the correct time zone, date, and time. Then turn Set Automatically on again.
    Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to another Wi-Fi network in a different location.
