Path of the wallpaper on the screen, why?

Hello,
I am meeting a strange problem: I have probably activated a keyboard shortcut that I ignore and OSX (Mavericks) now prints the full path of my wallpaper file in the middle of the screen. I have checked the Desktop setting item, but have not been able to locate a checkbox controlling this property. I have also tried to change the wallpaper, but the path of that file is also printed, so I am convinced that I have activated a system "feature" without being aware of it. SInce the words I can use to describe the problem are quite generic, Google is not really my friend in this case...
Could you please help me to get rid of this spurious information on my screen? Thank you very much in advance.

I have been able to locate the solution using a more incermental Google search. It was given in the following page:
http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/20/show-the-location-path-of-current-wallpaper-in-ma c-os-x/
and it was enough to execute the following command in the terminal:
defaults delete com.apple.dock desktop-picture-show-debug-text;killall Dock
But I continue to ignore how I have been able to activate this setting using a strange keyboard shortcut (I assure you that I have not executed this command twith a True value) without being aware of it ;-) ).
There is probably a debug shortcut somewhere...

Depends where you got it, if you purchased it at an Apple store call up and make an appointment to save dragging it around, if online contact support, if another outlet take it straight back.

Imported Photos keep freezing during a motion path across the screen

Today is the first day I am using Motion since upgrading to Leopard about a month ago. I am working on a project where I have various photo images floating around or across the screen. For some reason, I keep getting hiccups when the image moves across the screen. It moves, then pauses for a second or two then continues on. I scaled the image down, added a motion path and a Fade in/Fade out behavior and that is it.
I am not sure if it is a Leopard thing or something I need to adjust in the parameters but I have used Motion plenty of times before the upgrade and it never paused in the middle of move. Its annoying pause. At first I thought it kept hitting a spot on the timeline that needed to be rendered but I keep looping the timeline and it keeps pausing at the spots. Not every picture does this either.
I have enough memory to run the whole Final Cut Studio with no problem so I am still not sure what is up. I may just export it and see if it corrects itself.
Any suggestions you all may have will be appreciated.

In the Motion manual or tutorial or something from Apple, they tell you to put one of the Glow filters on a clip, saying that no system could play it back full speed. So you have enough to run the programs, but that doesn't mean you have real time playback.
Here's a tip- right click the bar right below the toolbar, and check "Frame Rate" in the menu. Now, when you play back your video, it will tell you how many frames per second it is playing back. It will play every frame (this is not how FCP works).
So if you aren't getting smooth playback, RENDER! Then you can see how it will play when exported.

Centering a page on the screen, why's it not working??

Hi,
I'm trying to centre my whole site so that it appears in the centre of the screen, no matter what size of screen it's being viewed on.
I've had a look at other messages about this, and thought I'd done what they said but it's not working.
I'm using Dreamweaver, and in the CSS rule definition for the DIV tag called #ContainerArea I've set Type = absolute, Height = Auto, Left & Right Placements = auto and Top & Bottom Placements = 0
When I also change the text alignment to centre, this then centres all the text within the 'container area' but the actual area itself is still left aligned on my screen.
It's not live, still just on my hard drive, so I can't include any links.
Can anyone help - please?
Thanks very much,
Nicola

Since ios7.1 update, the virtual keyboard comes up in the middle of the screen, why. Can this be changed?

Since my iPad was updated to iOS 7.1 the keyboard pops up in the middle of the screen, often preventing me from inputting text to a page because the page is covered by the keyboard. How can I change it to pop up on the bottom of the screen like it used to before iOS 7.1?
This is EXTREMELY ANNOYING,

Actually, I went to settings, General, keyboard and turned Split Keyboard =OFF.
Your answer, Jim, made me think to look in Settings. Thanks

How?

Why is setting wallpaper impossible to get the picture to fit the screen, it completely ruins my pictures.

Why is it impossible to set your wallpaper without it being blown out of proportion and ruining perfect pictures.......

Since the introduction of the parallax feature in iPad, resizing photos for background pictures no longer works.
Higher definition pictures work well, but older smaller pictures don't. One option that many do is open your camera roll and open the picture you want to use. Size it the way you want and then take a screen shot of that picture, which will store in your camera roll and will work for your background picture.
To take a screen shot hold your finger on the home button and then tap the power button and you'll hear your camera shutter take the screen shot.
