Lost desktop moving stars background

Somehow I have lost the desktop picture of dark background with moving stars. I've tried to go back in the time machine to find it but don't see it anywhere. Any thoughts of what might have happened to it, or where I can download a replacement? Little think, I know, but it's bugging the **** out of me!

Restarting Finder should bring back your desktop icons.
(Apple menu->Force quit-> Finder and relaunch
Your desktop is equivalent to the folder username/desktop.
Sounds like you accidentally copied a few thousand photos from iPhoto to your desktop. You could open username/desktop and do a search for "jpg" (or narrow it down to images) for the desktop folder ONLY and remove anything you don't want.
Or switch to list view and sort your files by kind.

STAR TREK moving stars effect? Plug-in or tip how to do it

I need to create the classic STAR TREK moving stars like seen in the original series and/or STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN. Is there a plug-in ready-made for this or is there a secret?
Much appreciated.

Aye Captain,
There is a particle Emitter in Motion called “Star Field” and another “Star Travel” that should do the trick…

Need to make a 20 second HD clip with a moving image background and text thats flies in...

Hi all im quite new to after effects and need to make a 20 second HD clip with a moving image background and text thats flies in. I also need to create a basic cross image. If anyone could suggest the best way to go about doing this it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance

Thank you for both of your reponses and I will try and be clearer:
what I want to acheive is a HD motion graphic of text which will almost spin onto the screen letter my letter and then a become static word. Behind this I would like to place a moving image clip.
By 'basic cross image' what im looking to do is use a cruifix shape instead of a 't' on the text.
I hope this makes sense and thanks again!

DATAGRID FOCUS ISSUE: Focus got lost, while moving from one cell to another cell using tab key.

Problem: Focus got lost, while moving from one cell to another cell using tab key.
Example: In an AdvanceDataGrid, there are three columns having custom ItemRenderer with Spark TextInput control (editable=true & focusEnabled=true).
When I try to move the focus in with in 2nd, 3rd & 4th column using tab key, focus got lost. Most of the time it’s working, but some time it doesn’t work. There’s no clue as to how may rows/columns the focus has jumped to; or whether the focus has gone out of the data grid altogether.
Observations: I am not sure whether this problem is because of custom component implementation or it is because of some issue related to Flex Component.
It only occurs when we perform some actions like some server call, some complex logic execution etc. at the focus out event of itemrenderer.
There is one property of datagrid i.e. editedItemPosition which contains row & column index of datagrid. On the focus out event, it gets null when focus got lost. We tried to set it, but it didn’t work.
Steps Performed:-
1. Currently focus is in 2nd column i.e. Apply to #.
2. Once I press tab key from 2nd column, it goes to 3rd column which is correct.
3. Now if I press tab key from 2nd column i.e. Payment #, focus should go to 3rd column, but it goes out of data grid and set the focus of button which is outside data grid.

Desktop Moving With My Mouse Movements!

This is a weird one for me, as I've never seen it before.
I booted up my Mac Mini this afternoon, and when I moved my mouse, my desktop moved with it! Kind of hard to describe, but whichever way I move the mouse then the whole desktop image moves with it, regardless of what I am doing.
I have tried the Command Option P & R startup and looked in the system preferences, but I'm so far admitting defeat on this one!
Any ideas?

Hi Samsong-
You have zoom enabled on the mouse.
If you hold the control key while scrolling up or down is one way zoom becomes enabled and the mouse will do that. Try holding the control key down and scroll all the way out.
Zoom can be configured in the mouse preferences.
Luck-

Track Sequence Lost when moving files

Hi there,
We had a breech of access in one of our labs, and an account that was created by a student (and set to admin) was deleted. The student was working on several FCP projects in this account, and rather than deleting the data I copied the entire user folder to the /Users/Shared folder for the student to access within his own account (set the approriate permissions and everything).
The student is now claiming that after the files were moved, that the track sequence is now not there. There were like 4-5 video tracks and many audio tracks. The only thing that shows up is one video track, and 2 audio tracks. Is there anything that can be done, or is the data lost? Is it possible for this to happen? Thanks for any help, as I am not that familiar with Final Cut Pro.

If you click on the desktop and press command(apple)+F and do a search for 'Autosave Vault' you will find a folder that stores all the saved FCP projects that your system has archived.
Each project will have it's own holder within the Autosave Vault folder.
When you look in a folder, the most recent version is at the BOTTOM, not the top.
If you go to User Preferences in FCP, in the bottom left corner you will see the time settings for the Autosave function. If you open up the Log and Capture window and go to 'Scratch Disc' you will see where the files are saved to.
Good luck.

Lost Desktop Icon

After doing the latest update, my I-Tunes desktop icon doesn't work anymore. I can't figure out how to get to my I-Tunes page where I can add new CD's to my I-Pod. I go to Itunes.com but there's no place for a login or anything. I'm completely lost - hope someone can shed some light on this!
Thanks for any help! I'm putting my e-mail address here just in case I can't figure out how to work this support community and find replies to my question!

Lost desktop data

Can someone please help on retrieving lost data?
I have lost data that was on my desktop calendar application. I don't have the Palm TX anymore but use the desktop software "Palm Desktop by Access". I have lost most of the data that was on my Nov. and Dec. calendar months. It does not appear data on any other months were lost. My computer uses Windows Vista. Thanks
Post relates to: Palm TX

If you don't do a regular hotsync with your TX to the PC you more than likely have lost the data. You can try to recover the data by using the following procedure.
You can recover the data from your user folder provided you have only sync'ed once with the PC when you discovered the data missing. When you sync to the PC there are files created for each PIM category in your user folder. For Example; datebook.dat or datebook (Depending on the version of Palm Desktop) and datebook.bak. On Vista the file names are .mdb and mdb.bak.
The files are named .dat and .bak. When you sync, the current data is stored in .dat. The next time you sync the data in the .dat file is copied to the .bak file. You can rename the .dat to .old. then rename the .bak to .dat. If the data in the .bak file is intact, it will now be in palm desktop when you reopen Palm desktop. I have included a link to show you how to find the userfolder on the PC.

Here is another link regarding data loss;
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=39503
The best way to backup your data is to use the export feature in Palm Desktop. Make a new folder on the PC desktop named Palm Desktop Backup data. Next, select the category you want to export. You will get a window that asks where you want to save the file, save in the folder created on the desktop. There is a button that allows you to select currently selected record or all, select all. If you don't select all, then only the record highlighted is exported. You will then need to name the file for export, I suggest the name of the category, eg: datebook (With current date). Do this for all critical data in each category. With the data exported to the folder on the PC desktop, you can save this data to a flash drive, external hard drive or a CD-RW. With this method you will have your data in a seperate place than Palm desktop and the device. If you "Lose" data again, you can import the data back into palm desktop.
Make sure that when you make changes in palm desktop or the device to export the data to the folder created for the backup.
Here is a link for other options for backing up your data;
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28751
The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.

Lost desktop outlook icon

i have lost the outlook icon form the desktop bar at the bottom, how do i get it back?

On what Mac running what version of OS X?

Lost desktop files on restart!

I restarted my computer and some of my folders and files that were on the desktop werent there and I can't find them anywhere. Any idea what might have happened or how I can get them back?

I havent gotten it running yet- this was a previous problem to the computer not booting up. I just thought that I would ask now so that when/if I can get it to work again I might be able to locate the lost files. Losing the files was the reason that I restarted the computer again, and that is how I ran into the problem of it not booting up.

Mail and adresses lost after moving home.dmg to another mac?

Having to move someone from one mac to another (both G4s running 10.2.8). I thought I'd simply be able to delete the user from the old machine, thus creating a ".dmg" file of that user. I then transferred this to the new mac where I had created a new user account of the same name as on the old mac. Having then logged in as root, I deleted the contents of the newly created user's Home folder and replaced it with the contents of the mounted .dmg file.
Logging back in as the new user, I find that Mail and Address Book have both lost their links to the transferred data files that were associated with the user on the old mac!
How can I re-establish the links with the previous data (if it still exists, which I hope it must do!)?
Many thanks

On my Windows XP operating system, the organizer file is located in my profile's directory:
%USER%\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0\Organizer90 (I have Acrobat Pro 9.2)
I have shared my organizer file with coworkers, but all my documents are located on a network and we are all mapped to the drives in the same way.
If a file is moved from where the Organizer has it referenced, the file will disappear from the collection. The Organizer90 file can be opened in notepad, but it is not meant to be edited that way. Editing the file will cause Acrobat to delete the altered file and regenerate a new one.
