I'm having trouble using a photo album as my desktop.  I followed everything in the HELP section, didn't work.

I'm new to the MAC.  I'm trying to share a photo album to use as my screensaver/desktop.  I followed the directions given in the HELP section (go to the photo album, check SHARE,  then select "desktop" )but it didn't work. Any ideas?

  • I'm having trouble communicating with a transducer (Keyence LS-3100 laser scan micrometer) via the serial port. It works in Hyperterminal. Any suggestions?

    Its not a simple baud-rate or parity error. If I issue the command to send data (X1) in hyperterminal I start to get data. If I then switch to Labview I still get data. However if I try to issue the send-data command via Labview I get nothing (i.e. I can read from the device, but not write to it).
    I am on a Windows 98 (version 2) PC, running Labview 5.1.1

    Try adding a carraige return to the end of your command.

  • I am having trouble with my photo album not transporting a picture to facebook

  • I am constantly getting hte "connection has been reset" message. I followed instructions in the help section for this & now it's worse. I am using 6.0. Please help!

    I cannot do anything online because I constantly get the "connection has been reset" message. This has never happened before. I followed instructions on Firefox help page for this message and it only made it worse!

    Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last ever version of Firefox for Win98 / SE / ME.
    You can get it from here, but you are better off using K-Meleon (derived from Firefox) or Opera instead an old version of Firefox:
    [ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/win32/en-US/]
    You can try KernelEx to get Firefox 3+ to work, but it would be very slow with an old PC of less than 750Mhz. 3.5 and later supposedly doesn't work.

  • Having trouble using a Samsung LCD HDTV with my new mac mini...help?!

    I have a brand new mac mini running snow leopard. I am trying to use a samsung HDTV (1080i). I've got the display connected and it is working but the font on the windows is not very crisp at all...it is actually hard to read. I've adjusted the resolution in my settings to all the different options. When I use the 720p option the font gets a little better but the windows are HUGE, when I use 1080i the windows shrink to the correct size but the font gets worse. Anyone have any ideas?

    Be sure to designate the HDMI input on the Samsung TV as a 'computer' source. This seems to help how it presents the image on the TV. The other thing to adjust is the font smoothing settings, via System Preferences > Appearance.

  • I am having trouble using my front loader tray on my canon pixma pro9000. The yellow lights blinks

    i have the tray in the correct position and push the little green button when it comes on to insert paper but then the yellow light blinks and won't take the paper.  Please help.

    Hi kcp,
    Do you happen to notice a pattern to the blinking lights?  Maybe a series of flashes and then a pause?  How many flashes between each pause?  This information could point to specific error that we can troubleshooting.  Also, since I'm asking questions: What operating system are you using?

    I am having trouble syncing my latest album photos from my Mac to albums on my iphone5. can atone help?

    Syncing an iPhone 4S running iOS 6.1.3 or earlier requires at least a G4 Mac running 10.5.8.
    Syncing an iPhone 4S running iOS 7 requires at least an Intel Mac running 10.6.8.
    If your computer can't be upgraded to the required OS version, buy a secondhand or refurbished one which can.

  • I am having trouble on transferring photos from iPhoto to my Seagate External Hard Drive

    Im new to Mac and I was doing fine with my new laptop but somewhere along the way I have reach to a point where I cant continue my work. I am having trouble on transferring photos from iPhotos to my Seagate External Hard Drive, even when the hard drive is compatable with my MacBook Air. Some how I have trouble trying to drag my photos to my drive and it is not letting me to do so. Pls. help me in my sistuation or derect me to a website that will answer my questions. I am getting really upset and frustrated; so I'm out of ideas.

    even when the hard drive is compatable with my MacBook Air.
    What is the file system on that drive? Is it formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled)?
    And what is your iPhoto version? iPhoto 9.5.1?
    Some how I have trouble trying to drag my photos to my drive and it is not letting me to do so
    What exactly happens when you try to drag photos to your drive? Are you dragging from iPhoto's window to the drive?
    Can you export your photos, when you select the photos on iPhoto and use the command "File > Export"?

  • I am having trouble burning a gapless album that is a mixed compilation. I have selected part of compilation album on the options tab and I did select gap between songs as zero. When I play the cd, it is sticking between songs? Please help!

    Thanks Chris but according to Pioneer, is was possible with the itunes in 2010.
    It wasn't. (at least as far as setting Part of Gapless album goes. See next para.)
    They claim that itunes will work if you select gapless album, part of a compilation
    Selecting Gapless album does not make it gapless. (which is likely that now this option is removed - to not confuse people)
    The ONLY thing that option did was tell iTunes to NOT crossfade consecutive songs from same gapless album IF you had crossfade enabled.
    -> http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1797
    Setting the gap to 0 is what made it "seem" gapless.
    Perhaps it is not working as it used to.
    Try a slower burn speed.
    and used itunes to convert them to mp3
    Dont know why they suggest this.
    Simply use the WAV file. Then there will be no loss (as there is when converted to MP3).

  • Having trouble with iCloud Photo Stream on a Windows Vista 64 machine.

    Having trouble with iCloud Photo Stream on a Windows Vista 64 machine.  Can you tell me why Photo Stream will not stay enabled.  When I reboot, it will disable not to mention that it will not get any pushed photos.  Is there a 64 bit version?

    Hello tw_mama,
    I was looking into the issue you are experiencing and found an article that may shed some light on the subject. It's called iCloud: Account troubleshooting found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3988
    This section in particluar:
    I get an "Unsupported Apple ID" error when I try to sign in to iCloud from my iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
    Depending on how you created your Apple ID, you may not be able to create an iCloud account with your current Apple ID. If your Apple ID works in the iTunes Store, App Store, Game Center, FaceTime, or with other Apple Services, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. Also, if you created your Apple ID while you applied for a job at jobs.apple.com, your Apple ID should work for iCloud. If you cannot use your Apple ID with any Apple Services, it might not be compatible with iCloud. Contact iCloud Support for assistance.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • I am having trouble getting my photos from my iPhone to my PC.

    I am having trouble getting my photos from my iPhone to my PC. My iPhone no longer shows up in my Windows Explorer, and I can't get them from iTunes or iCloud either. The Photo Stream folder is empty. Any help is much appreciated.

    Thanks Razmee. Actually the phone is synching, but only apps and music. There's no way I can find to get my photos through iTunes. When I go to the photos option in iTunes, I can only synch the photos from my computer to the iPhone and not vice versa (which I don't understand why it would ever be necessary to move photos from the computer to the phone, but oh well). I use to get my photos by accessing the phone itself from Windows Explorer, but now the phone won't appear in Explorer for some reason. I also tried connecting from the Photo Stream folder on my PC, but it was still empty even after it seemingly connected. I just want to move my photos to my PC without having to email each one individually.

  • Im having trouble using Emoji on some apps since i downloaded ios5... Anyone else experiencing this?

    Im having trouble using Emoji on some apps since i downloaded ios5... Anyone else experiencing this? Ive tried every thing deleting emoji and apps and re-instaling to no sucsess?? Any help would be great thanks!

    YES! I am having a lot of AppStore problems since iOS 6. My 2 main issues are:
    1. AppStore crashes constantly or will just sit & spin then does nothing at all.
    2. If I search for a specific App, making sure my spelling is correct, AppStore will NOT bring the app up. Instead, it will bring up unrelated apps.
    Podcasts app does the same thing, as well as jumbling up dates. Very impossible to find the correct episode.
    APPLE, please tell me you are reading this and that a fix is quickly under way!!
