Pictures I have deleted are showing up when I try to change my desktop image

Hello all,
I changed my desktop image with no problem. However, as I was scrolling through the images in the iPhoto option, I realized that some pictures that I deleted months ago are still showing up. How do I get rid of these pictures completely? Thanks!

Do you have by error two "iPhoto Libraries"? One with a different name, for example "iPhoto Library2" the other one with the Original Name. I am just guessing.
In iPhoto you have a Trash, which you need to empty regularly!

I am using a work laptop and have the same problem. When I try to change the "configure proxy", they only available option is "use this proxy server for all protocols". Could it be that my system administrator blocked me from changing it since they don't want us to use Firefox.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears?

When I try to change my desktop background nothing happens

When I find a new image on the internet, for example with google images, and I attempt to change it to be the desktop background nothing happens. I attempted to save the file to the desktop or downloads and then set it to be the desktop background but again nothing happens. This has happened to me a couple of times and I am not sure what is causing it. When I restart the laptop the new background is set but this is really getting annoying.

No problem using PC terms with me. Most of my computer are Windows PCs. I'm fully versed on both platforms.
Well you are setting it to the desktop background. "Sorry" all you need to do is reboot to make it active.
Never done that and have no desire to try it. But I would think that if you Right Clicked (two finger click or control left click) on the image, selected Save As and saved it in the folder I pointed to in my other post or to any folder on your hard drive and then went to Sys Pref, Desktop & Screen Saver and selected that image, whether in the default desktop pictures folder or in another folder on your drive, it would change right then and there without a reboot.
Doing it from Safari makes you reboot to have it displayed.

HT204264 Why does it say my pictures will be deleted from my icloud when i try to delete them off my phone, in that case what is the point of purchasing extra monthly storage or even having an icloud in the first place if my pictures will be deleted?!

I have the iphone 6 plus and have not updated to the latest version (ios8)

iCloud Photo Library is not designed to be a cloud-only storage service. The photos kept in iCloud Photo Library are also on all of the devices where you have turned iCloud Photo Library on and any photos added to or deleted from one device are automatically synced to iCloud Photo Library and to the other devices. You can reduce the storage space required on your phone (and also on any other devices) by going to Settings > Photos & Camera and placing a checkmark in front of Optimize Storage. More details in iCloud Photo Library FAQ - Apple Support
Apple does not offer any cloud-only storage options. If that is a requirement there are 3rd parties that do. You could also make the suggestion to Apple at https://www.apple.com/feedback/icloud.html

I typed the wrong email address while setting up iCloud on my iPad. I cannot change this. I have deleted the account but when I try to open a new account it comes back up with wrong email address. Both of my iPhones come up with the same wrong email addr.

I have gone to iCloud on Internet, apple, and Mobil me & can not find out hot to start over.

It happened to me too, and I don't know what to do. Have you fixed it yet?

Why doesn't the 'rescue email' option show up when I try to change my security questions?

I have tried and failed over and over to change the answers to my security questions. Short of calling Support, because I hear they're always pretty busy, how am I supposed to change them? Obviously I can't use my alternate email because iTunes did not offer me that option when I first tried to change them.

Do you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account ? If you do then try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

I have a page showing up when I run my Keynote presentation that does not belong there and is not in the navigation area-how do I remove it?

I have a page showing up when I run my Keynote presentation that does not belong there. It's not in the navigation area so there is no obvious way to delete it—how do I remove it?

Not sure if these will help... In the navigator view, is there a triangle next to the slide that appears before the slide that does not belong? If so, click it and you might find the extra slide in there. Or try View Menu:Light Table and see if you can find it in there.

Welcome to the Apple community.
A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

I have an iPhone 4S. When I try to print pictures, from my Windows computer, it doesn't work. Open Office also gives me an "unknown graphic" message. These are JPEGs, aren't they? Why can't I print and what is the unknown graphic?

The iPhoto library should be in your user folder/Pictures unless it was moved.

I have deleted tv shows i purchased from my ipad to have more space is it possible to get them back on my desktop?

i have deleted tv shows and books that i purchased from my ipad, i did not sync the old tv shows/ books on the desktop, but is it possible to re-download them?

For TV shows if you are in the US then yes, otherwise you'll have to re-buy them if you want them back. For ibooks yes (and not just in the US) as long as they are still in the store and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy/download them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

HT201077 I shared a photo stream of 174 pictures but only 20 are showing up in the folder that was sent out. Any solutions?

I shared a photo stream of 174 pictures but only 20 are showing up in the folder that was sent out. Any solutions?
Help much appreciated!

Upload to the shared Photo Streams can take a long time. Sometimes hours. Did the photos appear by now in the stream?
Is the iCloud status o.k. ( iCloud Support webpage)?
Did you share from your mac or from a mobile device? And where are you checking the stream? On your Mac? If you are uploading from a mobile device - is the battery fully charged? Uploading to the Photo Stream is the first that will be suspended, if the device needs charging.
have ypu exceeded any limits? Daily hourly upload rates? http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4858

New computer at work and all my song are on the server-when I try to change the folder location under preferences to the server, it still won't show my songs in Itunes?? please help!

Howdy carpetjim,
When you change the folder location like that, it changes where new songs and media are stored. To actually load the library you need to do this:
Steps to create or choose a different iTunes Library file
If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
If you are using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu and choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
If you are using the Mac, open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option key.
You should see one of the following screens:
Additional information
If you do not see one of the screens above, then you did not hold the correct key at the correct time. You may want to try again. Note that if you pinned iTunes to the Start menu programs, and open it that way, it may not work.

IMovie seems to have developed a glitch. When i try to import photos they show in the timeline but not in the movie.

iMovie seems to have developed a glitch. When i try to import photos they show in the timeline but not in the movie.
Any ideas?

You are probably looking in the wrong place - all photos in Photo view and in event too unless you have a corrupted library
most common cause of your not finding them is bad sort - view menu ==> sort events
Nest most common cause is a bad data/time on the camera - this can be corrected using a smart album to find the photos from that camera and then using using the adjust time/date command to fix the bad ones
YOu can alwasy find the event a Photo is in by selecting it and selecting show event
