Looking for Desktop image, can only find alias, which is broken
Hi,
I'm trying to find the file that is currently set as my desktop wallpaper. I've looked in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist and found a file name that looks right, DSCF0038.JPG. The path itself is pretty scrambled (see below for full string) but using 'find' in Terminal I came up with a path for an alias with that name. Unfortunately the alias is broken. Assuming all the steps I've taken so far are correct I should be able to access the file somehow; the desktop does. Any ideas?
Mike

Hi Mike,
Os it here?
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Safari/Safari Desktop Picture.jpg
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Safari/Safari Desktop Picture.png
But could be .gif or a few more as far as extensions.
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

Source tables for ST03 data - can only find structures!
Does anyone know which tables feed the structures (e.g. STA1) for ST03? I've searched all over the place and all I can find are structures. I need to run a query against the source tables. Thanks for your help.
Hi,
See whether ST03N will meet your needs?
For more options see SAP and SAP notes for MONI or TCOLL or ST03(N) (e.g. SAP notes 12103, 143550 and function module SAPWL_ACCNT_GET_SYSTEM_USAGE).
Cheers,
Julius

How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.
I had a problem a couple of months ago when iPhotos suddenly rearranged the order of my Events (Why won't iPhoto let me arrange my photos?) . I was told "Use albums not events - events are not a good way to organize - albums and folder are designed for organisation and are very flexible".
Haha! I should have paid attention and read between the lines! My iPhotos were highly organised groupings - not according to date but the way I wanted them - and it was so easy to do! I see now that if I had them all in albums, as per the Apple Apologist suggestion, I wouldn't have this unholy mess I have been left with just to make iPhone & iCloud users happy. I am now going through Photos and making Albums (of what used to be in my Events) ... maybe I'll get this finished before they do another non user friendly update! -

Can I install Mac OS X 10.5 on a Powerbook G4 already running Mac OS X 10.6? I lost my disc of 10.6 and can only find my 10.5 disc as I'm selling my MacBook, and wiping the hard drive for a complete reset.
A PowerBook G4 can't run Snow Leopard OS 10.6, however, it can run Leopard OS 10.5. But you must use a retail (black) Leopard install DVD.
What does the selling of your MacBook have to do with installing Leopard on your PowerBook?

I did a factory reset on my old laptop and lost my Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard. I have the serial number but need a download and can only find download for Pro version. When I enter my serial number (standard) into the Pro Installation it says the number is invalid. Any idea where I can download Standard version of 9? Thanks.
Kimg68365882 did you purchase Acrobat 9 Standard from Adobe directly? If so and you choose to download the software instead of receive a CD then please see Find a download link on Adobe.com.
If you originally received the software on CD then please use a computer with an optical drive to copy the contents of the CD to a USB drive. -
Hi, I purchased Acrobat Standard XI, but can only find the CD for windows. I have a mac (I have access to an external CD drive and I have the product keys for windows). I have never installed it anywhere else. What is the best way for me to install it?
Hi lintonm86921521,
I can understand your concern & will guide you through this.
I am so sorry to inform you that Acrobat XI Standard is not available on Mac, you can only use it on your Windows computer.
You can also refer to the system requirements at : System requirements | Acrobat family of products—older versions (XI, X, 9)
In case if you have any further query please let us know, we will be happy to help you.

Question
When I do a search for an image I only have a limited number of images. There used to be a ton of pictures on my screen and an unlimited amount of pictures to look through. Is there a way of changing this back to the way it used to be???Thanks. So there's no means of knowing whether a text message has been delivered, not to mention time of delivery. Perhaps I've gone for the wrong phone. It might do a lot but seems to miss out on some basics.

How do i re install premiere elements 11, i can only find the download for 12.
I would like to install premiere elements 11 onto a different computer but can't find the download. I can only find 12
AlaskaBreeCharlie
Did you purchased Premiere Elements 11 from an Adobe download? If so, did you double check http://www.adobe.com Welcome AlaskaBreeCharlie/My Orders and My Products for the download? Or, did you have an installation disc instead?
Depending on the circumstances, you could contact Adobe via its Adobe Chat to inquire about getting additional Premiere Elements 11 download
http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?product=premiere-elements&topic=orders-refunds-and-exc hanges
Click on the above link. When it opens, click on the statement "I still need help" to bring up the Adobe Chat to discuss
"Orders, Refunds, and Exchanges".
Also, you might consider downloading the Premiere Elements 11 tryout from the following web site and inserting your purchased Premiere Elements 11 serial number in it.
http://prodesigntools.com/photoshop-elements-11-direct-download-links-pse-premiere-pre.htm l
It is important that you read carefully the Note: Very Important Instructions message at the web site. Otherwise, you will run into Access Denied message.
Please review and let us know the outcome.
Thank you.

iam looking for a image convertor for raw (raf) files so i can edit them in aperture can any one help please
Ah, gotchya. Your Fuji camera must not then be on this list here? http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html You could presumably use the sw that came with the camera and create jpegs or tiffs with them and keep them in aperture along side the unsupported raws, in stacks.

I have two iphones using the same computer and I can only find a backup for my iphone and not my girlfriends. She uses itunes a lot more often then I do but cant find it. Really need some help. Shouldnt her apps and details be saved online in the itunes store? Even her apps wont appear
If you create an Apple ID for your daughter, signing out of the existing Apple ID with the iTunes & App Store on her iPhone will not change anything on your iPhone.
All apps include DRM protection which is tied to the Apple ID that was used to download the apps.
If she starts using her Apple ID to download apps, when there is an app update for an app on her iPhone that was downloaded with the current shared Apple ID, she will need to use that Apple ID and password to download the app updates. -
I have a FreeAgent GoFlex backup drive (for Mac) after a while the icon disappears from the desktop and can only be restored by reconnecting the firewire. This also happens when I use the USB connection as well. Thanks
Did you use any of the "sleep" drivers supplied? I have found it best to just totally reformat/erase the drives and let the OS handle them.
