Macbook Pro segmented wallpaper picture

I have just downloaded Mountain Lion onto my 2010 Macbook Pro and now my wallpaper photo is segmented into confused sections. I tried changing it and it happens with all photos on the wallpaper.

Make sure that you don't have "Tile" selected...

23" Cinema HD Display-Turns on, recognised by Macbook Pro but no picture

I have a 23" Cinema HD Display. It turns on, my Macbook Pro can see it in the Displays panel but there is no picture.
*Any thoughts / ideas on how to get it working again?*
- The power light does not flash any diagnostic pattern.
- If I shine a torch to the display I can't see anything, even faintly.

I just posted a question about a similar problem. In my case I believe the cause of the problem is the Cinema HD Display 90w Power Adapter (a.k.a. the power brick). I was fortunate to test this out because we have several identical displays in my office.
My problem now is locating a new power adapter for the display. Apple doesn't seem to sell them online as a separate unit, as far as I can tell. I'm heading down to the local Apple Store next…

Macbook Pro iPhoto or Pictures?

Just bought a MacBook Pro, could someone please explain to me the difference between the iphoto and pictures? Should I upload my pics to both? Or should I use one rather than the other? Thanks in advance!!

iPhoto is an app that supports importing photos from a digital camera and is also a photo storage and management app. The iPhoto Library is stored in the OS X Pictures folder. If you mamage photos the good old Windows way - by manually creating folders, etc, you can store all your manually created folders of photos in the Pictures folder. Pictures is basically just a folder.

IMac and Macbook pro have same Picture content both are being uploaded to iCloud

Hi
My iMac and Macbook pro have the same Pictures now that i got the new Photo app all the information is being uploaded to iCloud and i am getting duplicate pictures
is there anyway to merge the pictures and only upload one of them?

HI, then try this and before you do this hold down the command keyboard button and then click the pictures that are duplicated and delete them. then try this -
Photos application for Mac Instructions that might help!
On your iPad,iPhone keep the iCloud on in settings for Photos.
if you have not opened the New Photos application yet to have it transfer your photos from iPhoto let it Transfer the Pictures.
once you have all the pictures from iPhoto to Photos then in Photos go to Preferences
there is general and iCloud tab and go to the iCloud and only uncheck the iCloud button that will make it so it doesn't sync with your iPhone and iPad for Photos.
Then in Photos go up to View and press show sidebar because with that view you can move your pictures easier to albums snd delete or move any pictures or make new albums
when you are all done with moving around your pictures or whatever go back to Preferences and turn on iCloud and make sure you have the optimize Mac Storage and then you are done! I hope this makes sense and works for you! here are the 2 pictures I'm talking about in settings

MacBook Pro 17" Wallpaper

There really isn't a topic for this, but if you go to the "Mac" section of this site, go to the MacBook Pro section, click "17 inch Features" and scroll a little, the MacBook Pro has a colorful peacock feather wallpaper. Where can I find this? It's so beautiful and I can't find it anywhere!

Macbook Pro washed out picture on Projector

I have a Macbook Pro that I have tried hooking up to our projector in our church using the Mini Display Port to HDMI adaptor but it is completely washed out to the point that it can't be used. It is only to this projector that I notice it. Using the exact same hook up to other projectors and TVs the picture is perfect. Also it is not the projector because a friend of mine hooked up their macbook pro the same way and the picture was fine. I've tried adjusting the colour and display profile settings and nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Check out the projector settings when your MBP is connected. Try connecting, the rebooting, try resting PRAM after connecting.
Make sure that the adapter is "happy" with your OS X version/projector.
Reboot the whole "mess" while connected.
You have not shared your OS X with us, you may try adjusting the scaled setting.
The more info you share the more you may have someone be able to offer help.

Macbook Pro changing wallpaper automatically when I log out and in?

Hi
Whenever I go on my laptop and change the wallpaper, when I turn it off and then turn it on again, it has changed to another wallpaper. It changes to the same wallpaper all the time, and I made sure that I hadn't checked "change every 30 min" or something like that and I hadn't. What's the problem?
Thanks

I was able to change mine, and have it stay after rebooting when I used IPhoto to select background picture. It may be temporary but I was too very tired of my background picture and I hope it stays until there is a fix.

Macbook pro changes user picture on its own . Help please.

Does this mean I have some sort of malware?
Reccently my mac started changing my user photo on its own. Even more strangely the photos are only from photobooth.

You likely have a corrupt cache file someplace in OS X.
12: OnyX cache cleaning
This routine cleans all possible corrupt caches, doesn't delete your data or programs.
Apple doesn't include a easy for the user, system wide cache cleaning process in OS X, something they need to consider implementing.
So we have to depend upon third party software to do this and the best, time tested and free one is OnyX
Sometimes a corrupted cache file can cause strange behavior, slow machine, Dock and fonts doesn't work, beachballs effect, something won't install, Safari acting up etc., just general strangeness that can't be explained. Web browsing slow when all the other machines are fast etc.,
Use the free OnyX matching your OS X version and run all the initial checks
Run all the maintenance and cleaning aspects (except don't delete the log files) and reboot at the end (must)
If any of the initial checks OnyX does gives a warning, then Stop and report, you have a serious drive or other issue.
This will give OS X a enema of sorts (won't delete file or programs) and let it rebuild all the cache and other files, including Spotlight.
You must be through running all the maintenance and cleaning aspects as this is a "catch all" method and any number of corrupted caches may be responsible for your issues. Don't worry, OS X will work fine (and likely faster again) after the caches are cleaned out and rebuilt from their original sources provided you REBOOT when finished using OnyX.

List of proven OnyX successes:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18377471?ac_cid=sa123456#18377471
OnyX also has a Verify > Preferences
(plist) file checker, show the corrupt ones and write them down. So while your in OnyX cleaning your caches, check for corrupted plist files too for the next step below.

How do i get the same desktop picture on my external monitor, as on my macbook pro, and get it to stay that way when unplugged?

Everytime I use an external monitor with my macbook pro the desktop picture always changes to the same one as on my external hard drive...how do i get the external monitor to show the same picture as my macbook pro and keep it that way?

Did you download the PC version? There is no DOS in OSX.
Look for the Mac version of AutoCAD.

Why is my 2010 macbook pro freezing and shutting down every time I start it?

Today, after using my macbook pro to upload pictures from my iphone, my computer started having problems and shutting down. The screen goes gray and a box pops up saying that a problem exists and that I need to restart my computer. I've only had the macbook since last November, so I don't understand why I've been having so many problems with it. This happened a few times to a lesser extent in Senegal when I was there for 5 months. I used a mac power adapter so I don't think it could be an over-charge problem.
Please help!

Sounds like your iphone is causing kernal panics.
Unplug everything. Keyboards, mice, external hard drives, the lot.
One of these devices could be causing it.
Then, grab your Install DVD, and boot while holding the C button.
Select your language.
Go to Utilities > Disk Utility > Repair Disk + Repair Permissions
Then restart, and every once in a while, add one of the keyboards/mice/iphones/hdd's one by one to see if they are causing issues & therefore identifying the culprit.

SD Card gets "wiped" by MacBook Pro's SD Card Slot.

Oddly enough, the first time I plug in an 8GB SDHC card into my MacBook, it reads perfectly fine. I leave the card in there for a while (an hour or so) then I reopen the SD Card to move a few of the pictures I took over... But as soon as I do... I notice there is NOTHING inside the DCIM folder!!
I eject the card, put it back into my camera and it shows that I have no pictures taken!!
So I decide to do a test. I take a picture, and then remove the SD Card and put it back into my MacBook Pro. The picture this time shows! Inside the DCIM folder there is a 101Canon folder with the picture inside it. But only that picture. As soon as I eject the card, remove and put it back into the MacBook Pro, the DCIM folder is empty yet again! But I have done nothing!!!
I looked at the Finder's bottom for remaining disc space, and it says my SD Card has 4.xx GB available on an 8 GB card! Figuring out that the files may have been hidden I used this command in Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true
This makes a few more folders pop out. But all of which are empty!
I test again on the camera by taking a shot. Camera says it can take 711 more pictures on my SDHC card, so I take one, which brings it down to 710, plug it into my computer, view the file in the computer, eject and reopen the SD card to make sure the file has "disappeared" before plugging it back into my camera. It then says it can take another 710 pictures!! This confirms that there is data stores on the SD Card, but cannot be seen!! Why are my files disappearing? Any ideas anyone? I need help!
I've checked the forums, and it seems no one has come across the same problem I've had... As most people are more concerned with losing while moving their files or recovery.
Thanks!

Yes, the card was erased. It only had five or six photos, but I knew they were there as I had reviewed them in the camera. When the card was inserted into the slot on the laptop, it imported nothing. It was apparently erased upon insertion, since nothing was imported. I then put the card back in the camera and it was empty. Later I tried with a different card and it worked properly. Fortuntely, they weren't important photos. But, I won't trust that slot again. I'll use my USB card reader which I know I can depend on.

"How can I choose to just have picture on my external monitor? "
Close the lid of the laptop. Let the computer sleep and then wake it up.
