Loosing bits of the desktop display images

I want to ask some help for a problem that I currently have after running and optimizing my disk with DiskWarrior 4.2.
Since I optimized my HD with DiskWarrior 4.2, I suddenly started to lose bits of the desktop display images.
I have attached some screenshots for you to undestand:

Is this problem known to anyone ?
Does anyone have a good solution to fix this ?
Does anyone know why is it causing it ?
Thanks in Advance for your help,
George

  • Is there an ARD command or Unix command that I can send to reset the desktop background image to default?

    I was forced to create a local user with an automatic login on all of the machines in the building. I listed off many various issues that could come arise by doing this but was tuned out. Now people are changing all of the desktop backgrounds to some pretty inappropriate images. I forewarned the person ordering this that this may be one of the many issues that would arise when doing away with our server based logins, and now I am charged with fixing every desktop every time someone changes it to something inappropriate.
    Is that an Apple Remote Desktop command or a Unix command that I can send through ARD v3.5.3 to the machines to reset the desktop background image to the default Aqua Blue jpeg image located in the /MacintoshHD/Library/Desktop\ Pictures/Aqua\ Blue.jpg.
    The machines that I am dealing with have OS X 10.4.11, OS X 10.5.8, OS X 10.6.8, and OS X 10.7.4 installed on them, but the OS X 10.4.11 machines are the ones that are creating the biggest issue so I would like to deal with those first.

    Ya, I'd love to have the computers connected to the Xserver, unfortunately against my heeding, I was ordered to take them off of the Xserver, so they only have a local account that automatically logs in on startup, and even though I have Parental Controls set, I can not stop them from going to Safari, selecting an inappropriate image and setting it as the background, so now I’ve been ordered to fix all of the backgrounds that people are messing with.
    My Xserver is running OS X 10.4.11 Server Edition. Yes, I would love a new server, but that’s not happening due to budget cuts.
    So what I am hoping for is a command that I can put into Apple Remote Desktop v3.5.3 and push out to all of the computers via its Unix commands and reset all the desktops to their default image.

  • Can Apple TV be used to make the tv the desktop display?

    I would like to use apple tv to use a flatscreen TV as the desktop display while my video port is used by a projector. Is that possible with Apple TV?

    No, sorry you can't do that.
    AppleTV is in effect a stripped down Mac rather than a device that streams the video output from another device.
    The AppleTV display output is generated by the AppleTV, so the device can only handle a limited set of media types either streamed to it wirlessly or synced to it's hard drive (plus some YouTube functionality).
    AppleTV decodes and renders the media data rather than iTunes.
    If iTunes rendered the data and sent the frames to AppleTV or allowed other apps to replicate the desktop it would be great, but it doesn't.

  • Setting the desktop background image via Powershell

    UPDATE: 
    I found the solution that addressed my problem, which I posted in a post below. Keeping the original post for Internet historical reasons as I the hope this helps someone else later on in their search for a solution. 
    ===============
    I have Bing'ed and I have Google'd and I haven't found a solid answer to setting the desktop wallpaper programmically.  I am trying to do this via PowerShell, but I would be happy for any other language flavor or application to work. 
    Below is the code I have tried to set the desktop background image. This has been scrounged from a few sources across the web. This solution works 25% of the time and I haven't figured out what the cause for success or failure of the execution. Or maybe
    it's neither, but waiting for Explorer to refresh. The only way to see the change 100% is to log out and log back in.
    I am running Windows 8.1 btw. 
    Thank you for looking.

    Great news! I found the solution and all props and credit goes to
    jsd1982 of the XKCD comic
    forum from a post he made in 2007 and some deep search kung-fu Googling on my part. Here is the
    direct link to the post.
    This solution has worked for me 100% of the time on Windows 8. The only gotcha I found (minor detail) was when setting this process to run as a scheduled task, I had to run it as elevated privileges for the code to compile in memory. Running this function
    from PowerShell at the command prompt was fine.

  • Dragging images to the desktop copies image as .png instead of .jpg

    I have nearly identical computers at home and work. Both are XP Pro, with Firefox 3.6.
    When I drag an image out of a web page, onto the desktop, my home computer saves/names the image as a .jpg, but my work computer saves/names the image as .png.
    I want my work computer to save/name the image as .jpg. How do I change it?

    Do you get a real PNG file or a JPG file that has a .png file extension?

  • I start my macbook pro april 2011 everything goes normal and then the desktop displays as usual but i can't select anything, or open any program, or document and even i can't shutdown the macbook or do nothing. Help me please! What is going on?

    Help! I've restarted my macbook like ten times and it seems not working anymore!

    Reboot and hold down the command-r keys into the Lion Recovery Disk. Select Disk Utility and run Repair Disk.

  • Mucking with the desktop images folder

    I have the desktop background image randomly rotating through a folder on my system. The problem I've run into, is that I'd like to be able to add and remove images from the folder (I have a script that pulls in photos from friends flickr streams, etc, and removes old ones so as not to fill my hd). However, the "desktop image rotator" doesn't seem to like this. If I remove the image currently shown, it will simply stop rotating. I've also noticed that it can get into a state where, when it does the cross-fade between images, it'll show some random image, but only during the cross fade. That is, it starts with image A displayed. When the cross fade starts it immediately jumps to some random image X then cross fades to image B. The cross fade ends with image B displayed for the rotation interval, then the cross fade starts again by immediately switching to a random image Y, then smoothly cross fading to C, which is again shown for the normal interval.
    So, instead of A->B->C, I get A->X->B->Y->C (note, all of these images are randomly pulled from the directory. Just because I used letters in order doesn't imply that I'm actually expecting images to be pulled in any order from the folder).
    The really odd part is that the X and Y images are usually images that no longer exist. Does the desktop image rotator copy the images it's using for the background somewhere else? That seems odd.
    So, in the end what I'm asking is "Is there a safe way to remove images from whatever image folder the desktop image rotator is using?"
    It may or may not be worth noting that while describing this, I've managed to lock up my dock. The top menus still work, but alt-tabbing around doesn't.

    do you see ANY of your files when you look at the desktop? if yes control-click anywhere on the desktop and select 'arrange by kind'. this will reshuffle your desktop icons. see if the files you are missing become visible. they may have been placed offscreen somewhere.

  • My desktop display has been magnified and everything I open is similarly magnified.When I try to zoom out using Ctrl - or the mouse nothing happens

    My MacBok Pro suddenly magnified the desktop display significanlty. All programmes and applications are similarly magnified when open. I tried zooming out using Ctrl - and I also tried holding down the Option key and scrolling down using the mouse. Nothing happens to zoom out of the desktop and on Facebook for example the columns get smaller but the text doesn't so lines of text end up overlayed each other. What can I do to remedy the situation?

    Found the Option key. Googled it. And yes your instructions worked a treat. Thanks

  • 100% Width Slideshow Not Displaying Images Correctly In Phone Version...

    Hi all... Again.
    2nd issue encountered tonight since working on the mobile version of my current project. Having copied, pasted and resized the 100% width slideshow from the homepage of my Desktop version to my Phone version and after having applied different resolution images and published successfully, I made some edits to a different page (the main "About" page, nothing to do with the Homepage) and published only to find that the images in the slideshow are now not displaying correctly...
    After the first (of eight) image, it seems to skip the next one entirely and apply the text for the 2nd image to the 3rd image, the text for the 3rd image to the 4th image and so on... Additional to that, it seems to also randomly use the Desktop resolution images for four of the images... WHY?!
    I made NO changes to the slideshow since the last publish so WHY has it changed?
    I've tried re-applying the correct images and re-uploading; no change. I've tried doing a full-upload; no change. I've tried closing down Muse and trying again; no change. My only option left really is to either update to the October 27th edition of Muse (which I was deliberately holding off on, until I completed this project, which aside from the mobile version is done!), or to revert back to the previous version of Muse in the hopes either of these will resolve the issue. Only problem with that is I've started using the text sync features and the new contact form features (such as ReCaptcha, which is a pain in and of itself if you want to use two forms on one page!! Heaven forbid!)... So I'd really rather not have to revert back but I also don't really want to risk screwing anything up further with the latest update, as has happened on more than one occasion for me when in the middle - or near the end - of projects!
    Is anyone else encountering this? Anyone able to replicate it? Anyone know how to fix it? I'm really reluctant to continue on with the Phone version of this project until I know I won't keep encountering this sort of thing...
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    In the words of Gomer Pyle, "Well Golly!"
    Thanks. lol

  • Desktop display has a border

    I have noticed on my 21.5" Imac display that i have a 3-4mm black border along the top and left hand side of the desktop display.  It looks like the display has dropped diagonally towards the bottom right hand corner.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance
    Mark

    Hi Mark,
    I have the same model as you.
    As Rudegar says, on the 2011 iMac although the glass goes right to the edge (except along the bottom where there is an aluminium strip with the Apple logo in the centre), the actual LCD screen does not extend to the edges. There is a black border (I've just measured it and it is 2.7cm wide) all round the screen area which the image does not extend into.  If this is the width of your border and it is equal all round the screen image area, then that is normal. 
    If, on the other hand, it is markedly wider on one or two sides, then you may need to experiment with your screen resolution. If this doesn't help then you may have a screen problem for a repairer to take a look at

  • How to block changes of desktop background image

    I manage a 30-computer Mac lab in a public high school and I would like to prevent users from changing the desktop background image.
    As far as I know, there are two ways to change the desktop background image: through System Preferences and by right-clicking an image and selecting Set Desktop Picture.
    Blocking System Preferences is easily done through Parental Controls.
    But how do I prevent the right-click, Set Desktop Picture method of changing the desktop image?
    You can imagine the kinds of images that end up as desktop backgrounds in a high school computer lab.

    You might try going to System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts. In the left pane select Services, then uncheck the item "Set Desktop Picture" under Pictures in the right pane. Once that's done, block that prefs pane.

  • Display image in view

    Hi,
    My requirement is to create a  web dynpro application where the first view contains all images stored in ECC along with one button (Display image). When the user clicks on the button Display image then another view should display the image on the screen.
    I have created View1 with a table,which display the details of the table STXBITMAPs in it,when i select a row and press a button second view is displayed with a UI conatiner of type IMAGE.
    Basiccaly when button on view1 is pressed, I get the value of the TDNAME field via lead_selection method and set this value to a global attribute, whch inturn is copied into second view and bonded to the SOURCE attribute of the UI element.
    My problem is , that global attribute is being updated probley and value have been passed to second view..but Image is not being displayed on the screen.
    Can anyone help me out in this.
    Thanks in advance.
    Pooja

    You don't necessarily have to move your images from STXBITMAPS to the MIME repository.  You can display any image - not just those in the MIME repository, by placing the content in the ICM Cache.  This creates a temporary URL for any content.  So you just need to read the binary content of the image from STXBITMAPS into a XSTRING variable.  From there you can use this code sample to put the content in the cache and generate a URL:
    ****Create the cached response object that we will insert our content into
      data: cached_response type ref to if_http_response.
      create object cached_response
        type
          cl_http_response
        exporting
          add_c_msg        = 1.
    *  cached_response->set_compression( options = cached_response->IF_HTTP_ENTITY~CO_COMPRESS_IN_ALL_CASES ).
    try. " ignore, if compression can not be switched on
          call method cached_response->set_compression
            exporting
              options = cached_response->co_compress_based_on_mime_type
            exceptions
              others  = 1.
        catch cx_root.
      endtry.
    ****set the data and the headers
      data: l_app_type type string.
      data: l_xstring type xstring.
          cached_response->set_data( me->gx_content ).
          l_app_type = 'image/x-ms-bmp'.
      cached_response->set_header_field( name  = if_http_header_fields=>content_type
                                         value = l_app_type ).
    ****Set the Response Status
      cached_response->set_status( code = 200 reason = 'OK' ).
    ****Set the Cache Timeout - 60 seconds - we only need this in the cache
    ****long enough to build the page and allow the IFrame on the Client to request it.
      cached_response->server_cache_expire_rel( expires_rel = i_cache_timeout ).
    ****Create a unique URL for the object
      data: guid type guid_32.
      call function 'GUID_CREATE'

  • Desktop display zoom

    How do I increase the font size of the desktop display? It's too small to read comfortably.
    Post relates to: Palm Z22

    Using "regedit" I was able to change the font size larger for use with the Palm Desktop software.
      Run "regedit" and export (save) a backup copy for safety
        File  >  Export  
      Search for "FontSmall"
        Edit  >  Find  >  Find what  >  FontSmall
      Click on FontSizeGeneral and change the "Value data" to 16
      Exit "regedit"
      Run Palm Desktop software and enjoy the new legible font size!
      Notes:
      1) The location of the Palm Desktop software on my system using "regedit" is:
            HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop\Core
            * Your location of the Palm Desktop software may differ.
      2) I tested this on monitors using resolutions of 1280 x 1024 and 1024 x 768
            The font size is noticeably readable and much, much better
      3) You may also change the font family from the default (Arial) to another, such as Verdana, etc.
            FontCard    (Changes the font family in the side panels)
            FontGeneral    (Changes the font family for most of the program fonts)
      4) Operating System: Windows XP Pro
