Images received go directly to desktop

Everytime I get an image in iChat, a copy lands on my desktop. How can I stop this or redirect the default location?
Kinda tired of having to manually delete them from the desktop.

Hi,
They do stay in the Chats.
In Fact to "Save" them you have to drag them to the Desktop to then use a Graphics app with them
They are shown in Old Transcripts that you have kept.
They are still expandable there but you cannot drag them out as it were to work on a old pic.
Old Transcrips are kept in Home Folder/Documents/iChats and the Dated Subfolders.
Not a Temporary file/Folder
I know that at the iChat 2 and iChat 3 start lunch period of iChat's development that Changing the default Downloads folder was a bit quirky and somewhat unreliable. It's a long time since I tried to use a another Download spot.
I have not experienced what you are saying or read of someone having the issue before.

  • What is the best way to hook up a telephone line to an i- mac so I can receive faxes directly to my computer?

    What is the best way to hook up a telephone line to an i- mac so I can receive faxes directly to my computer?
    I tried usb modems.  They worked ok for 32 bit usb's but Lion only allows 64 bit.  I bought one from Best Buy and it works when it wants to.  Mostly, it doesn't want to!
    Is there a way to connect through a time capsule?

    Thanks for that!! 
    Zoom - 56K V.92 USB Mini External Data/Fax Modem
    I didn't look any further than this.  I bought this at Best Buy and like I said, it works somesimes.  It does not trigger the fax automatically when the phone rings.  You need to have it manually answer.  In the past, I had the 32 bit Apple version of this external USB modem and it worked without issue.

  • WhenI print from firefox on a Mac everything comes out 50% too light, if I save the image and print from the desktop it looks fine. No problem either printing from FF with Win7. How do I fix FF on the Mac?

    My iMac runs bootcamp, so I have both OSX and win7 available. I run the latest Firefox on both as my primary browser. The printing looks like the ink is running low, but when the same image is printed from other desktop apps the printing looks fine.

    Hi, Jordan -
    Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
    If the original drive in the newer Mac is a Western Digital, its jumpers may be set to Single, which WD drives often use when there is only one device on the bus. When a second drive is added, the jumpers on the original must be reset to Master.
    OS 9's utility is named Drive Setup - you should find it in the Utilities folder on the hard drive. Run that. Select the added hard drive in the list, then select Mount Volume from the Functions menu.
    You can also check with that utility to see if the OS believes the drive has been set to automount at boot. Again, select the drive in the list. Then select Volume Settings from the Functions menu - there's a checkbox in that screen to set automount (for freshly initialized drives, that's turned on by default).
    Also, try running Disk First Aid (should also be in the Utilities folder). Let it have a look at the second drive, and repair anything it can.
    Apple System Profiler should report the format of all drives it sees. Is the format of the drive from the old Mac stated as Mac OS Standard, or as Mac OS Extended?

  • How do you remove duplicate images from your all images file on your mac desktop

    How do you remove duplicate images from your all images file on your mac desktop?

    Don't under any circumstances.
    All images is not a file. It's not a place. It's a list. Specifically, it's the result of an instruction: List all the images on my machine.
    When you delete something from All Images, then you have no idea what you're removing from where - files that are part of word processing docs, interface elements, corrupting your iPhoto Library. There are many perfectly legitimate reasons why you might have what appears to be duplicates but are not.
    Rule number One: Never delete anything on your machine whose job you don't understand.

  • Capture images from Camera directly at high resolution

    Hello Users,
    I want to capture images from Camera directly at high
    resolution. The problem is that although I am able to capture
    images from a Video Object, but the images are small because the
    Video size is only 160x120. So if I am able to capture directly
    from Camera, I am sure to get a higher resolution images at which
    the camera is capturing.
    Any help in this matter will be of great help

  • When i drag an image from Firefox to my desktop, i get a jpeg extension. I want/need a jpg extension.

    there aren't many details - just that dragging an image (jpg) from Firefox to desktop always ends up xxx.jpeg. i have to have "jpg" to be able to do much of anything with it. its been going on the last few upgrades and i've simply changed the file extension but really tired of having to do that and it seems like i should be able to find information for fixing it.
    thanks.

    You should only have to rename the .jpeg file extension to .jpg to get this working.<br />
    Did you try that?
    You can try to delete the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox Profile Folder to reset all file actions.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/mimeTypes.rdf
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions#Resetting_download_actions
    You can Inspect the MIME database with the registry editor (regedit.exe) and do a search for that MIME type (file extension) via Ctrl+F.<br />
    Be careful with editing the registry as there is NO UNDO possible: all changes are applied immediately.<br />
    You can export key(s) in the registry editor before making changes.<br />
    You can check specific file extension keys (e.g. .jpg) in the registry with the registry editor.
    * HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.xxx
    You can check the linked MIME type in the MIME Database or do a search there as well.
    * HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type

    In response to below------Thank you Lynn-----Yes, there is a main panel--I will attach----and if you have any further suggestions please let me know--Thanks again
    How are you running this program? Is there a top level vi which calls the ones you posted? The Display image on screen.vi will display two images in succession, but according to the note on the block diagram the second image is blank. It seems as though this would intentionally create a flicker.
    The sequence structure is unnecessary. Dataflow will determine the order of execution. The only exception is the time delay in the third frame. Since it has no data dependency, a single frame sequence may be useful to assure that the delay occurs before the picture is updated. A simple state machine might be a more versatile architecture for what you may be trying to do.
    It is not necessary to write the FR.PanelBounds property immediately after reading it, nor is it necessary to read it a second time in the second frame. Just wire from the first read.

  • Messages incorrectly displaying images received

    When a buddy sends me a second image (from Yahoo messenger for PC) the image displayed in Messages is the same as the first image received even though the second image is completely different.  The image is successfully received in download folder and I can view it when I click on it.  Just wondering why it doesn't display correctly in Messages?  Anything I can do?

    HI,
    That does sound odd.
    My limited testing with the Yahoo option in iChat 6 and then Messages seemed to point to it only supporting Text chat and not Group chats or Sending Files or Pictures.
    I must admit to reviewing an AIM chat I had yesterday that seems to have "lost" the incoming pictures.
    They are listed in the File Transfer Window, but are not found on my computer (not even any Download folder)
    Is it a downloads folder you are finding them in ?
    I am not sure what to suggest at the moment.

  • How Do I go directly to Desktop without disturbing the Opened pages? I am using Lion OS

    How Do I go directly to Desktop without disturbing the Opened pages? I am using Lion OS

    You can tap one of the keyboard Function (F) keys. Without knowing which keyboard you use it 's a little difficult to say. If you don't have a keyboard shortcut to do that, create one in System Preferences - Keyboard. I have my F6 key set to take me directly to the desktop. However the way your question is phrased I'm not positive that is what you are asking.

  • HT1491 Trying to redeem for a Starbucks app on IPad, I receive error: download from desktop

    Trying to redeem a starbucks app code for an app on my IPad 2. I receive an error msg that says: redeem on your desktop.  I AM following the directions for redeeming direct from/to IPad. I don't have an Apple desktop.  Suggestions?

    I know this thread is a little old but I thought I would share my experience in an effort to help others.  My issue was related to the app I downloaded required a newer iOS version than the one I was running.  I found this out by using iTunes to redeem the code for the app.  Then I synced my phone with iTunes.  That is when I got a msg about the app needing a newer iOS version. 

  • Authoring a DVD where images can be downloaded to desktop

    I'm looking to author a DVD that has a menu button that can download a high res jpeg, pdf or photoshop file to the desktop if played on a Mac or PC?
    I don't want to do it through a web link.
    Can this be done in DVD studio pro?
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    No, not directly.
    Just thinking about that for a moment... do you really want to force an image onto your viewer's computer desktop? If you were watching a DVD and then found a lot of images that you didn't ask for on your desktop after you had finished, would that be a good experience?
    What you can do is open an image in the default image viewer application (for a Mac that's generally 'Preview') by using DVD@ccess links.
    Or you can go to a menu which acts as an information screen to let your viewer know there is a directory of images for them to access on the DVD (include a ROM folder in your project when you build it) and how they can get to it.
    I'd be wary of forcing, or pushing, content onto a computer, personally...
