Problem with Desktop Background

So I've tried researching and figuring this out on my own but I nothing's working.
I few weeks ago I changed my desktop background to an image I have on iPhoto, changing the picture through the application itself, if I remember correctly.
About a week ago I decided I wanted to change my desktop background. I go to System Preferences and click on an image in a folder and, within minutes, the image I had before is on again. I've tried different pictures, different settings in "Desktop & Screen Savers," I've tried deleting com.apple.desktop.plist and com.apple.preference.desktopscreeneffect.plist as suggested in http://discussions.info.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10696928 yet to no avail.
Any other suggetions? Thanks.

It sounds like you might have already done this, but make sure the Change Picture option is off in System Preferences -> Desktop & Screen Saver.

Tiny but annoying problem with desktop backgrounds

Whenever I use fast user switching to switch from my admin account to the standard user account it briefly shows a picture that was set as the background a long time ago and then shows the currently set background. Its that close up of a bright scarlet rose that comes with the OS. But its been changed several times since then and it doesn't do anything similar when I go from the standard to the admin account. I know its a tiny problem but its starting to really annoy me every time I see that overly bright picture flashed on the screen for a second or two.

I managed to sort it out by myself.

Strange problem with desktop

Hi, I have a very strange problem with desktops and dashboards something else. For example, when I am on desktop 2 and i go to desktop 1, when I click with the mouse on it, it goes again to desktop 2. or when I am on desktop 1 and I go to ddashboard, it returns again to desktop 1 when i click to something in the dashboard.
but, if i am on desktop 3, and i go to desktop 1 throguh desktop 2, there is no problem. the same if i go from desktop 2 to dashboard.
I hope i've been clear enough to let you understand this... explanation =P
Anyone can help?

My system has started "freezing". Actually, usually when I'm browsing the net, Chromium stops loading pages. Conky stops updating, and usually I can't switch to another programs. I can't start xkill from menu, menu opens but nothing starts. If I run "ls" etc in Terminal, nothing happens
I can however control+alt+F1 to CLI, but if I try to login nothing happens.If doesn't help even if I kill X (I started it with startx). And if I don't kill X, I can't go back from CLI with control+alt+F7, there's just a black screen.
I'm using Nvidia drivers also, and XFCE4. This started happening some time ago, I think I was using Gnome2 back then. And I have updated my system, and this has happened at least with 3 kernel versions. There's nothing on logs. Well, actually, there's "TCP: Possible SYN flooding on port 6881. Sending cookies" errors on everything.log. But those don't happen when system freezes. And sometimes Chromium stops loading pages but other programs don't freeze, I think it's a problem with cache or something.
Not really sure if this everything happens because of Chromium. I think I'm gonna switch back to Firefox and see what happens. Usually I'm running Chromium, Opera (use it just for a couple of pages), couple of Terminals and Kaffeine.

WINDOWS INSTALLER PROBLEM WITH DESKTOP MANAGER

Please help!! I am a user of the Blackberry Desk Top Manager, running under Windows XP Service Pack 4.5. I recently downloaded the latest version of Desk Top Manager and I am getting the following error: - Flashing intermittently, whilst running the newly downloaded Desktop Manager - "Windows Installer Preparing to Install". I have removed the programme, downloaded it again from Blackberry's website and run my Windows updates to no available. I have now been advised that I must format my entire computer and reload Windows, which seems to be a rather onerous solution, as I have been using Blackberry's Synchronisation Programme for over a year successfully before this took place. I should appreciate it if you would let me know how this problem on my IBM Think Pad Laptop can be cured.

Hi all..
I am having the same problem with desktop software 6, but my problem is more like this..
http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB19300
The Windows Installer pop-up during installation and cannot continue, it seems that windows installer 4.5 is the cause, but I cannot uninstall windows installer 4.5 because many of my programs were using this..
In this knowledge base solution it says to run BlackBerry Desktop Software.msi, but on BlackBerry Desktop Software 6, it need to run from setup.exe and cannot continue.. so I cannot install desktop software 6 on my computer, but I am able to install older version desktop software ie. version 4.2 to version 5.
I think that I am gonna reply here instead of making new thread about windows installer 4.5 and Desktop Software 6, please move if I did wrong.
PS. Bifocals..
The link you provided is missing. Or it just back to BlackBerry Technical Solution Center page and I tried searching the KB13781 with no success.
Please if there is other link that may be good for my problem.
Thank you very much.
Hi ihalimsujanto and welcome to the forums!
My first concern is that you do have a version of desktop manager that you can maintain your device and PIM data with, do you?
Please post back with as much detail as possible regarding your hardware and software setup.
Also post what steps you have taken to resolve the issue. The more detail we have the better we can help you. I'll reread KB 19300 and find what happened to my broken link.
Thanks.

Hi
The fact you are using a Mac is why both myself and JCellini assumed you where using a pre IE7 version.
But the code you are using to test in IE will cause a problem with any 'virtual machine' such as crossover, because it cannot reference anything outside its own assigned section of the drive, and referencing the png in the way you are would be for it an invalid reference, it also would not work in any browser when you uploaded the site.
Change - background-image:url(file:///Macintosh HD/Users/myname/Documents/websites/test/Test/images/test_back.png);
To - background-image:url(images/test_back.png);
But if the region is not editable I would suggest you temporarily make it so, externalize your css to a css file, insert a link to the external css file in your head content, then lock the region once again. This way you will always be able to edit your css without worrying about 'locked regions'.

Problems with the background image size in a photobook

Hi there, I really need help here. When I make a photobook I want to display my images large, taking the whole page. To do that I put the image as a background and it's OK. My problem is that when I do this, iPhoto always crops it. I have to use the move tool to move the image up and down, left or right to chose a best position. I don't want to do this, I want my image to be shown perfectly from end to end. I have to resize the image in many ways, even used the book's native resolution but it still doesn't work. If I choose "fit photo to frame size" I end up with two stripes at the top and the bottom of the page.
Please help me, what size should I resize my image to, so that iPhoto displays it as it is?
Thank you

Volume problem with Desktop Theatre 5.1 DTT2200

Hi,
I'm experiencing problems with my Desktop Theatre 5.1 DTT2200's volume. It goes up and down with no sense. Doesn't matter if I'm watching a movie, listening to music, playing games or whatever. The speaker system is connected to a SB Live! Sound card but even if I disconnect it and I use the onboard sound plugs it is still happenning the same problem.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance!

I Have the same problem, really a shame cause the soundquality is very good, but if i have too keep adjusting the volume it's not really serving it's purpose.
The potmeter of the volumecontrol is malfunctioning. You could try disasssembling it and clean it but that didn't work for me till yet. Best is to replace the potmeter but it is impossible to find a replacement. I'm told it's a very (too) cheap component unsuitable for frequent use so i think Creative shouldn't had used it in the first place. I'm told it's a ct. component fot the far east.
I contacted Creative but they can't supply me with a substitution, either a potmeter or volumecontrol.
The volume control can't be found elsewhere because Creative designed their own connector i think.
Guess i have to annoy the crap out of myself before i buy another set.

Timezone problem with Desktop 6.2 calandar and outlook 2007 after HotSync

After recently being upgraded to Desktop 6.2 I have a problem with Hotsync Palm-calendar and outlook 2007.
When I create a new appointment in outlook 2007 and next do a HotSync it is stored in PalmTungsten-E2 calendar with a timezone CEST (=2 hours earlier than it should be).
At least I won't be late for these appointments, but its a bit annoying.
I already tapped and untapped the box -New events use time zones- in the Calendar Preferences, but that does not help.

Thanks Colapop for you suggestion.
I had already tried that option and it gave no good result.
Yesterday I bought KeySuite from Chapure and now everything works fine again.
I do regret a bit I upgraded to PalmDesktop 6.2 because that was the start of my problems. The reason for updating to 6,2 was that I wanted to make use of outlook 2007 instead of palmCalender.

Problem with Desktop sync with Torch 9810

I recently acquired a Torch 9810 (upgrading from a Curve 8900).
Sometimes, when I try to sync the Torch using my Macintosh (OS 10.6.8) I have the following problems:
1. When backing up calendars the desktop software warns me that if I continue 487 entries will be deleted on my desktop computer. But I have the Blackberry and my Mac iCal program set so as not to delete old files. There seems not to be an option just to update the Blackberry and leave my desktop computer alone. The choice seems simply to sync or not to sync. How can I ask Blackberry Desktop to modify my handheld device ONLY?
2. If I try to cancel a "sync" functions, sometimes the program just hangs, then I have to use "Force Quit."
3. Then when I reconnect the Blackberry the Mac OS tells me the Blackberry memory is corrupted and I should re-format the disk.
I did not have this problem with my Curve 8900. What is happening? How can I prevent this from happening again?

Problems with desktop/app sharing/viewing through conference

We have a problem with viewing shared desktop/app with external contacts in a conference. We're able to share/view desktop/app directly with an external users, but not in a conference. We get the error message: "Sharing failed to connect due to network
issues. Try again later."
If we're using the web app on the same computer where we have the problem, we're able to view the content in the conference.
It's working fine internally, it's also working fine when users are outside of our office.
All other functions in Lync are working fine.
We have 1 standard Lync server and 1 Edge, we don't have a reverse proxy but multiple IPs with port forward to corresponding ports on each server.
How does the Lync client connect the shared content?

To Fix your issue, you can follow below steps
A common root cause for this error occurs when required ports are not available. Begin troubleshooting by verifying required ports.

Strange problem with desktop applications randomly freezing

Hi guys,
Over the past two weeks I've noticed that a few, very specific applications, have been crashing horrifically for me. Specifically, they're Firefox, Chromium and Eclipse and anything else powered by Java as well. I found the Eclipse issue people talked about on here regarding the upgrade to Xulrunner, but they only partially fix my problem.
What happens is the applications will randomly freeze, completely. The gui locks up and the window becomes a grey box, and the only way I can get rid of the window is with kill -9.
I've tried figuring out what's wrong, but honestly I have no idea. I'm running 32bit Arch, with a Nvidia 8800GTX card on the official binary drivers, using Openbox. Everything as of the time of this post is up to date throug Pacman.
Also, with the amount of problems I'm seeing on Gnome3 in here, what about creating a temporary sub-forum to hold them all? It would certainly tidy this one up a lot.

My system has started "freezing". Actually, usually when I'm browsing the net, Chromium stops loading pages. Conky stops updating, and usually I can't switch to another programs. I can't start xkill from menu, menu opens but nothing starts. If I run "ls" etc in Terminal, nothing happens
I can however control+alt+F1 to CLI, but if I try to login nothing happens.If doesn't help even if I kill X (I started it with startx). And if I don't kill X, I can't go back from CLI with control+alt+F7, there's just a black screen.
I'm using Nvidia drivers also, and XFCE4. This started happening some time ago, I think I was using Gnome2 back then. And I have updated my system, and this has happened at least with 3 kernel versions. There's nothing on logs. Well, actually, there's "TCP: Possible SYN flooding on port 6881. Sending cookies" errors on everything.log. But those don't happen when system freezes. And sometimes Chromium stops loading pages but other programs don't freeze, I think it's a problem with cache or something.
Not really sure if this everything happens because of Chromium. I think I'm gonna switch back to Firefox and see what happens. Usually I'm running Chromium, Opera (use it just for a couple of pages), couple of Terminals and Kaffeine.

Problem with desktop icons

Hi,
Hope someone can help, my desktop icons have turned into these wierd square buttons with a grey background - The icons are no longer draggable but simply work as buttons.
Basically everything that I dump on the desktop turns into one these grey square buttons.
I've never seen this before - maybe it's a simple solution to solve.
It quite suddenly began doing this when I still had OS 9.0 - can't remember the circumstances since it was quite a while ago...I thought the problem might have gone away when I updated to 9.2.2, but it's still there.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
cheers
Andrew

Have you attempted to change your buttons back to icons?

Resolution problems with desktop pictures?

at the beginning of ml my high resolution images, 60 mgb. were ok. now if I choose a vertical image to fit the screen, the image shows highly noticeable pixelation. that did not happen in lion, mountain lion 18.8.1, nor in snow leopard. also is happening in the last update of lion 10.7.5. has anyone told apple this annoying problem?. there is also another problem, and this one is real big. black and white images show color, like when you saturate too much an image on "hue and saturation" in photoshop. I think this problem has to do with color sync.
Beltran

Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.desktop.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash. Restart your Mac.
See if that helps...
