Problem Replacing Default Desktop

I have a powerpc Mac Mini, it runs at 1.25ghz and recently I had an obsession into making my powerpc look like lion. So I replaced the desktop picture and found on the internet a way to change the leopard login in screen. (http://paulstamatiou.com/how-to-change-leopards-login-wallpaper)
It said "All you need to do is replace the file DefaultDesktop.jpg located in/System/Library/CoreServices/DefaultDesktop.jpg. " So that's what I did I renamed the lion galaxy with DefaultDesktop.jpg and replaced the orginal. But now when I turned on my mac mini, it loads for a while, the suddenly restarts itself before it reaches the login scree. I think the problem is caused by this. Any help is greatly apreacated.

On my macbook pro, where is the file for the original default desktop wallpaper? ...and if i replace this will it change the default wallpaper?

Whenever I lock my screen on my mac (by closing the lid) the login screen I see on reopening my computer is a faded version of my desktop image (which is normal, and fine) however when I close my laptop while it's in fullscreen mode (when I'm using a web browser or other application in full screen) the lock screen displays the default desktop image, which is what i'm trying to change. My macbook has always done this.
My computer is running Mac OS X version 10.7.3
I've been looking for a way to change the default wallpaper on my mac, so that when i lock my screen in full screen mode the lock screen displays my selected wallpaper image (the same one as is on my desktop) instead of the default (andromeda galaxy). Can anyone please provide me with the location of the default image file (if it's even accessible) or maybe even provide me with a way to fix this? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi Mr. Wog,
My guess is that once you see an estimate for replacement for hundreds of dollars, those scratches won't look too bad anymore. There are products to cover the outer casing, and some people put stickers on, or even paint (I don't recommend either, but ymmv). Good luck.

How do i "when the ACPI mode is enabled (by default) under Windows 2000. To fix the problem, replace the gpibpci.sys file on your machine" Where do i go to do this?

I keep getting an error message on the blue screen of death. Beginning dump of physical memory. To fix it a messgae board said "when the ACPI mode is enabled (by default) under Windows 2000. To fix the problem, replace the gpibpci.sys file on your machine with the one that is attached below and then reboot the machine." Where do i go to add this file?

I will get this error randomly, once when I was opening a file on another computer on my network, once when I was logging onto to my bank website on the internet, and another when I was searching through my d drive. Nothing to difficult, I do not even have other programs running when it happens sometimes. Thanks for any help!

I upgraded to Lion and since then my desktop graphic changes back to the Lion 'default' desktop graphic every time I start up. I change it in System preferences, but next start up it is back to the default.

This problem just started when I upgraded to Lion OSX 10.7 and it makes no sense. When the new OS was installed, it replaced my Desktop graphic with a blue background starry asteroid like you see in the Lion promos. I went to System prefeences and changed it back to what I had, and it switches just fine, but when I shut down and restart, my graphic is gone, the old asteriod thing is back again. I don't like looking up at my name on the screen where the clock is supposed to be either, but I will get over that since I can't change it. I do want to know if anyone knows how to make your graphic for the Desktop stay the same through shutdown and restart, it is something so basic. I'd appreciate any help, Thank you!

Thanks so much but none of that helped. It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive. I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
Thank you for your help and replying to this. Guess I made my own issue!

JMS Adapter - Set Additional JMS Parameters or Replace Default Settings

Hi colleagues,
We are using PI/XI 7.0 (SP 12).
In trying to set up a Communication Channel using JMS Adapter to connect to Oracle AQ, I do not see the checkbox "Set Additional JMS Parameters or Replace Default Settings" , nor is the table for the parameters / value visible.
We have deployed the driver file as described in the How-to- guide: How To Install and Configure External Drivers for JDBC & JMS Adapters
[http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/f04ce027-934d-2a10-5a8f-fa0b1ed4d88f?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true]
In setting up the Communication Channel so far:
Type: Sender
Transport Protocol: Access JMS Provider Generically
Message Protocol: JMS 1.x
Adapter Engine:      Integration Server
After this I expect to see the checkbox "Set Additional JMS Parameters or Replace Default Settings", but it is not there.
Therefore I am not able to select it in order to enter parameters like:
JMS.QueueConnectionFactoryImpl.classname
JMS.QueueConnectionFactoryImpl.method.setHostName
JMS.QueueImpl.classname
JMS.QueueImpl.constructor.... etc
Can someone please share if this because we are on too low SP or do we need to do something additional before it becomes visible? Is this a feature that only became available as of PI/XI 7.0 SP 13 or 14 ?
I checked both Sender and Receiver channel type, and it does not appear for both.
Thanks & Cheers,
Jodie

Hi experts,
We are using PI 7.1 and I've set up a communication Channel using JMS Adapter to send
messages to a Sonic MQ queue.
I need to send some values as JMS parameters, two of which are constants and two are values
from the Sender message. I tried defining and setting up the parameters with constants values
in the Communication Channel under the Advanced tab by selecting the check-box
set Adapter-specific Message Attributes as follows:
Name     TYPE
ContentType     String
ReturnValue     boolean
Name     VAlue
Contenttype     CompanyCode
ReturnValute     true
This however lead to an error in the Adapter Engine (RWB).
My problem is:
1. Can anyone please instruct me as to how to go about defining and setting up
   additional JMS parameters?
2. How to go about defining/setting up variables that will get their values from
   the sender message?
Thanks & Cheers,
Joe

Why is my default desktop now just blue instead of the default sky/space scape?

As per the question above really....
Ive only been a mac user now since the begining of april this year when i took delivery of my macbook pro
Anyway... at some point the default desktop (the aroura looking photo) decided to stop displaying at start up, it now just displays a blue screen instead.
I dont think its affecting performance in anyway but i am worried this might be something to do with malware or the like...
Any info would be greatly appreciated
Regards
Mark

well i had never problem with that but you can try this:
Check if the background image is there -
from the Finder hit Command+Shift+G to open the ‘Go to Folder’ screen. Type /System/Library/CoreServices/ and click ‘Go’
Next, find the image file called ‘DefaultDesktop.jpg’
if not, you found the problem, and instead of this image you can put there whatever image you want.. but the name have to be: DefaultDesktop.jpg...

No access to new default desktop without Super Administrator role

I have created new desktops and rule collections. All new rule collections are linked to in the master rule collection under folder 'Super adminstrators'.
Now when I try to log on as a normal user his new desktop is not displayed - instead an error message saying that he doesn't have access appears.
If I assign the user the Super Administrator role, then the correct new desktop is displayed.
What setting am I missing?

Hi,
To fix the problem with the Portal Desktop, make sure that all users that it is assigned to have permissions to it and to every folder in the path to it (including the "End User" checkbox checked).

Default desktop image

I'm not sure if this the right place to ask this question but here goes-- I am a school librarian with 15 G5 iMacs and an OS X Server. We have used user management to set up permissions for the students but I would like to set the default desktop image to one that I have created with some information I would like the students to see when they login. I can do that for individual users but not as a default for all users. Can this be done? I was able to do this in the past.
Thanks
G5 iMac Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Excellent! You're welcome.
scp is a command-line tool to securely transfer files from one host to another. It could help you to streamline the process of updating the image, but it might be tricky with all the spaces in the path. I just tried to do replace Aqua Blue that way for a few minutes without success. Don't worry about it if you're happy with your method.

Replacing windows desktop with a mac

I currently have a macbook pro, 2009, and a windows desktop. I'd like to replace the desktop with a mac, but will need to run windows on it for Quicken. So, what would be the most economical alternative? A mac mini? I also have Fujitsu scanner for mac which the new computer must support. I would consider a new or used mac. Also, is Bootcamp the best way to plan on doing mac and Windows?
Thanks!

The Fujitsu ScanSnap works great on the Mac and is accessible through its own software, VueScan, or EverNote among many other software packages. As far as using Windows and Quicken, Bootcamp is an either/or proposition and not both at the same time. On the other hand Parallels Desktop will run Windows and Windows applications on the OS X desktop and happliy transfer data from one environment to the other. In eithercase you will need to purchase and install a copy of Windows and while Windows is running your Mac will be as vulnerable to Windows malware as any Windows computer so you will also need a good security suite that would otherwise be unnecessary. A Mac mini or an iMac would be a more thqan adequate desktop computer. If you are buying an new monitor for the Mac Mini the final price will be pretty close to that of an iMac. If you are planning on using the monitor from your PC then the Mac mini will save you anywhere up to $1,000 or more. I switched from an iMac to a Mac mini when I got tired of essentially buying a new monitor every time I upgraded my computer and I am very please with the performancek of my mini. The Fusion drive helps -- a LOT.

Problem with CC desktop app update

Anybody has Problem with CC desktop app update?

Good luck (I have new problems today which could not be solved by one of those)

Replace PC desktop with a notebook (MacBook)?

Would I notice an appreciable loss of performance in LR if I replace a desktop PC with a low-end MacBook?
Or in other words
Is LR performance affected much by whether the catalogue is stored on a dedicated internal 7200RPM drive or a USB 2 external drive?
]Yes, I know this sort of thing gets asked all the time. But I have hunted around and haven't found what I am looking for (not helped by the pretty ordinary interface of this forum).
]And no, I'm not that interested in hearing "Macs rule, PCs suck"-type responses. This is probably more a question of "desktop with internal drives v. laptop with external drives", but if I am ever going to swap platforms now is probably the time, and I may as well provide all relevant information.
More info if necessary ...
I have a nine month old PC desktop that I use for LR, browsing, email, etc. 1.8GHz, 2GB RAM, 2x 320GB 7200rpm drives (one dedicated to photos and LR database), running XP Pro SP2, hooked up to a 22" Philips CRT.
I have a 25000-odd photo LR catalogue, with another 15000 photos waiting to be added.
If I get a MacBook I envisage mothballing the PC (too hard trying to keep two different computers in sync, let alone trying to constantly swap between two different OS's).
I would likely get the 2Ghz base model, immediately upgrade the RAM to 4GB, and replace the HDD with a 320GB model (all up cost about the same as the new mid-range model). I am keen to limit costs, and as the MacBook will simply sit on my desk, plugged into my existing CRT, for 98% of the time I don't think I can justify a MacBook Pro.
If the consensus is that purchasing a MacBook as a sole computer isn't such a good idea, then I'll probably get a cheap Dell laptop, with XP, for the few occasions I need the portability, and keep my existing desktop as my primary computer.
Is this a no-brainer, or is my caution justified?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks to all who didn't get too sidetracked for your help ;-)
I am currently typing this on my brand spanking new 2.4GB MBP*, ready to be hooked up to my twelve month old 22" CRT when I start using Lightroom with it. Yet to buy any external drives, but on the basis of what I read here, and a bit more fishing around on the web, I'm almost certainly going to go down the 3 1/2" route, using a physical cable connection.
Now just juggling (and comments certainly appreciated):
1)what connection? And user experience with USB2 v FW400 v FW800 (v ethernet v wireless v eSata)? USB2 drives seem considerably cheaper than FW, for real-world negligible differences. BUt haven't read, or at least recalled, any LR users comments on this
2) what capacity for secondary backup drive if employing Time Machine? (How much capacity over the actual space you might otherwise expect to fill in 12 months)
* After looking further into the Australian taxation system and the bids on 12 month-old second-hand MacBooks and MacBook Pros on eBay the decision to buy a Mac was pretty much made for me - I think I will be able to replace a MBP every year for small loss or even a gain for as long as the current system remains in place, and a considerable amount of the population remain ignorant of the taxation incentives to buy laptops.

Problem changing default key bindings using Oracle Terminal

Hello,
I'm facing a problem changing default key bindings using Oracle Terminal. I changed
some bindings, saved them in forms60/fmrusw.res, started the generation and saved again.
I thought that's it but it wasn't. It took no effect at all in Forms (even after recompilation) although reopening the file in Terminal showed the changes. I'm using Forms in German, which means that even the key bindings displayed in Forms are translated i.e. STRG+F1 instead if CTRL+F1,
but I can't find a german version of this resource file, so i think it's the same resource file for all supported languages. But what is needed for the changes to take effect ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
is it client/server you are working?
if so you should not be using the fmrusw.res file because I guess your NLS_LANG is German_Germany.WE8ISO8859P1 or something like that. This means the terminal that is being opened is fmrdw.res instead of fmrusw.res and this file should be edited using Oracle Terminal.
if you are working via the web implementation than you can open the file fmrweb.res in a text editor and change the keybindings in there. If you need to have the PC like key bindings on the web just open the fmrpcweb.res and see if it contains the German texts. If so you can either copy this file over the frmweb.res file or you can specify term=fmrpcweb.res in the serverargs parameter.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,

Problem replacing chart axis title with &string. syntax

Apex 4.1.1
Hi,
I am having a problem replacing a chart axis title with substitution syntax &P5_MYFIELD., where P5_MYFIELD is an item with Source Type PL/SQL Function Body:
begin
return web_message.show('LASTNAME', 'dk');
end;
The Item is defined on the same Page as the chart in a different region. I can see that function is working ok, because the return value is displayed in P5_MYFIELD.
There is a second item in an other region on the same page where the source value is defined with substitution syntax &P5_MYFIELD. It also displays the expected value. But when I use the string &P5_MYFIELD. as axis title it is not displayed.
I also defined a field P0_MYFIELD on Page Zero with the same function, when I reference that with &P0_MYFIELD. as axis title on Page 5 the value is displayed correctly. I tried the same with a field on Page 1, &P1_MYFIELD. and it is displayed correctly.
I think, the chart axis title must be substituted before the item P5_MYFIELD is executing the PL/SQL function body to get its value. Can anyone tell me why?
We want to use string substitution syntax to translate all our labels in different languages. I would like to create hidden items with source type PL/SQL function body for all labels on a page and reference these values as label definitions. I would like to place them on the same page as the labels.
Thanks
Anne

I started the application again and now also the Items are not displayed, only the message 'Label not defined', so I probably did something wrong with the computation. Why the correct values were shown during the first run, I do not know, maybe i did not logout in between.
Here is the debugging information, but I cannot see any error message:

Now the correct value is displayed again in the P5_MYFIELD, because I had to set the item source back to PL/SQL Function body, but I am still getting the chart error and the chart is not displayed.

I have never been able to log into this forum on my phone. I have the settings set as noted above. Any further ideas?
Never mind, I just tried it again and all of a sudden it worked. All I did was retype the last part of my e-mail address.
