Immediate window close when trying to change wallpaper

Hello there, I have been trying to change the wallpaper on my computer for several days but whenever i hit the button for change picture it immediately closes the window and i am stuck on the same picture and i dont know how to fix it. i also dont know how to change the screensaver and it is getting really anoying. Thanks in advance.

Try deleting the Desktop settings file. First, open Finder, select Go menu > Go to Folder, and type ~/Library/Preferences. Then, delete "com.apple.desktop.plist" and "com.apple.systempreferences.plist", and restart.
After restarting, open System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver, and you should be able to change your wallpaper and screensaver

Quicktime closes when trying to change video settings

I just bought PRO and now i cant even use it. I open my avi file, go to export and when i go into options and i click on SETTINGS for video quicktime beeps and closes... no warning message no error NOTHING. i can get into the audio settings just not the video. And its bothering me that theres no official support COME ON APPLE i just gave you money at least give me a telephone number come on.

I have the same problem - I have a MP4 movie file that's using the H264 codec that I need to play via a PowerPoint presentation - so I need to convert it to something more Windows friendly. I wanted to export the mp4 as a AVI using one of the lossless codecs I have which I would then convert to a WMV file using Windows Media Encoder. The minute I tried to change any video settings on the export feature on QT Pro QT Pro crashed. Of course looking around the QT page for any support information is pointless (because it's not there) - and I purchased Pro with QT 7.2 and can't revert to another version.
And looking around the +QT for Mac OS+ forum this is not just a Windows problem - it's a QT Pro 7.2 problem. I thought Apple applications were flawless and didn't crash??? +<insert sarcasm>+ Anyway...it would be nice to have something that works for my $30 rather than a overpriced video player.

ITunes window closes when trying to paste metadata via mouse.

For a while now, when I am editing the metadata in my iTunes window, whether it be music, movies etc, if I try to paste information into the appropriate space using the mouse, the window automatically closes without me being able to enter the data. I can paste info via the paste command in the menu just fine. I'm using iTunes 10.6.1. on an iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Any idea as to what is going one here?

There's a link in that article to another article about updating Windows drivers:

Finder window closes when trying to preview AVI file.. cant open file.

just bought a Nikon D90 that shoots HD video. After uploading the video's I shot to my iMac I am unable to open them. Going through the finder window.. once I click on the file and it starts to work for the preview the window will just close with no explanation. If I try to open the file from the desktop it causes quicktime to crash. Even right clicking on the file and clicking 'get info' causes the info window to open and immediately close.
I've restarted the computer... tried to upload the videos again but to no avail. The file size is 117.8MB.. but I dont think that should affect it.
The videos uploaded fine to youtube.

I think it's a good idea to check with Nikon; while you're talking to them, ask what format their cameras' videos are - from what I've read, AVI is not the actual format it's recorded in, but I'm not an expert on that - see the link to the Wikipedia article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AudioVideoInterleave
Also try to shoot another video in a lower resolution - don't process or do anything to it with the camera, just take out the SDHC card and see if that'll work. I suggested the MPEGStreamclip because if you can drag it into that app, you could immediately convert it to a .mov or .dv file and that should work with either Quicktime, iMovie, or whatever.
At this point, you also might want to consider trashing any preference file of any application you've tried using with that video just in case any of them have become corrupted.

Invisible windows appears when trying to open a new window. These windows are listed in the Window list, but I cannot switch to them or close them. This also occurs when I try to "View Source". This was not a problem prior to my 6.0 upgrade.

I cannot open a new window for FireFox.

The Downloads Window cannot be accessed either.
This is very annoying. Is this a bug? Or is there a fix.

If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

Hello there, ytnoj.
Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes can be a tricky endeavor and must be done in a very specific way. The following Knowledge Base article provides the step-by-step of the process:

Is there a simple fix to error 1719 in Windows 8 when trying to install Reader?

Is there a simple fix to error 1719 in Windows 8 when trying to install Reader?
Have tried the MS fixit tool with no success.
There doesn't seem to be a simple fix other than the complicated manual registry changes I have seen.
Thank you.

Pat:
Yes, this is where I saw the article detailing the MS "fixit" link...that didn't do it (other than removing Reader for me. The rest of the fixes I see involved either modifying the registry in some way all the way up to completely re-installing the system software (which is kind of tough as I bought the HP computer with Windows 8 already installed).
I am not keen to try modifying the registry...
I agree, it has nothing to do with Reader but thought this has probably affected many others which is why I posted here.
Thanks.

"an error occurred when trying to change modules"

When I switch repeatedly between Library and Develop with the R and E keys, I always sooner or later run into a problem where nothing happens when I press R. Really that should go the Develop module and enter crop mode -- what I'm usually trying to do, when this happens, is crop a bunch of photos. So I'll be using Library mode to identify the photos that need cropping, stepping through photos with the arrow keys, then when I find one that I want to crop, I press R, enter develop+crop mode, crop the photo, press E to return to library+loupe view, and continue.
Sometimes this works 10 times, sometimes it only works twice, but always, relatively soon, when I press R, "nothing" will happen. Actually what's happening is an error dialog appears saying "an error occurred when trying to change modules", then the error dialog immediately disappears before I can read it. I know what it says, because if I click the Develop module with the mouse, I get the same message but it sticks around until I press OK.
Once this happens, I'm entirely unable to use the Develop module until I quit the program. I had to quit and restart LR about 20 times during an hour of working with it last night, and this morning, in the first 15 minutes, I'm already on the 3rd restart.
Anyone else see this?
Details: LR 1.1 on Mac OS 10.4.10, 4-core Mac Pro, images are a mix of JPG from a pocket camera and NEF from a Nikon D40. I don't think it is related to the specific images, as it strikes apparently at random, and after exit and restart, I can crop that same photo, but a different one will eventually cause the same problem again.

Sean, thanks for the Return key tip. I knew about that at one point, but lately I was trying to use Enter (the one on the numeric keypad, at the very lower right corner of the keyboard, which is really easy to hit with my thumb even when my hand is on the mouse! And Enter doesn't invoke the crop, so I forgot that Return did). That is a better way.
I don't see the RE problem on my MacBook, only on my desktop computer, and that one is also experiencing other flakiness (
metamatt, "missing text / thumbnails / many Lightroom UI elements disappeared" #, 18 Aug 2007 3:08 pm) so I think I'm going to try a complete reinstall there.

Short Dump when trying to change configuration of BT112H_SC/OVViewSet (Service Contracts)

Hi Experts,
I have a problem with a component usage when trying to change the OverviewSet Configuration for the Service Contract. The whole component BT112H_SC is complete standard and no enhancements have been made yet.
When trying to change the configuration of the view OVViewSet there appears the error message:
'500 SAP Internal Server Error'
Error: Define Component Usage 'CUIR_Container' (termination: Rabax_State)
The place where the code dumps is shown in the attached picture with the name 'ST22'. The error screen when trying to change of the configuration is shown in the attached picture 'Configuration'
It seems like one error is appearing in Line 18 of the class CL_BSP_WD_REPOSITORY and method GET_CMP_USAGE_DEF:

endmethod.                    "GET_CMP_USAGE_DEF
Any Ideas? Do I have to create the component usage manually?

Hi Oliver,
Go to RTR->Viewset->OVViewset-> see whether any view 'CUIR_CONTAINER' is there in that viewset.
If it is there then u need to create component usage of that view. Or else remove that view from viewset.

Arun

Window error when publishing Muse change, can't pubish page update

Window error when publishing Muse change, can't pubish page update. Any suggestions?
It happens after I updated my website payment page with a new Paypal html. That html is below with x's put in to the code. Why doesn't Muse or Windows like this code in Muse?

I accidentally screwed up my apple id when trying to change my primary email address. Password recovery options and security questions arent working either to restore

I accidentally screwed up my apple id when trying to change my primary email address. Password recovery options and security questions arent working either to restore. Created a new appleid just to get into forums to ask a question but hesitate to sync itunes and iphone with it as i may lose all purchased music apps etc. can anyone help? i have received no email response frm apple support, it's been over 48 hours

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

The airplay icon is appeared in iTunes 12 on windows but when trying to connect it tell me this message (the connection is timed out)

the airplay icon is appeared in iTunes 12 on windows but when trying to connect it tell me this message (the connection is timed out)

Hello atef from egypt,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To help resolve this issue where your computer cannot connect to your AirPlay-enabled device, please follow the information outlined below.
Wi-Fi Connection
If you are experiencing intermittent playback or significant network lag with AirPlay, it could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, interference, or the distance between the Wi-Fi router and your AirPlay-enabled device.
Ensure that other devices aren't trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
Ethernet Connection
Temporarily disable firewalls (both network and local) and security software. Security software and firewalls may block ports that AirPlay uses to stream content. You can often resolve issues with security software by updating, correctly configuring, or uninstalling security software.

Problem creating playlists library window closes when opening new playlist

library window closes when opening new playlist impossible to drag and drop songs from lib to new playlist

Hi
You don't need to open a playlist to drag and drop from your library. Just open the library and drag the selected item or items to the NAME of the chosen playlist (in blue bars on the lower left) and just drop it there. When you hold the items over the playlist name, it will show you a little green dot with a plus sign in it and the number or items being dropped. Then when you are done dragging and dropping you can open the playlist and see that the items were added. Hope this makes sense.
Good luck!
