Problem with Prefences, desktop picture.

Hi,
I think that a long time ago i did something wrong with my system prefences. By the section background for your desktop, all the pictures that are did stand by " apple pictures" , "nature", black&white" are gone.
I tried to go to the map with the same name, and there all the foto's where in there, How do i get all the pictures that come with mac os x back into the section desktop/background in system prefences?

If I'm understanding correctly, when you open System Preferences, click on Desktop & Screen Saver, and select the Desktop Tab, on the left hand side you can see the different sections for backgrounds (Apple, Nature, Plants, etc...), but there isn't anything on the right hand side. If this is the case the first thing you may want to do is go to /Library/Desktop Pictures. You should see some image files and folders in there. The folders will be named the same as what's found in the Desktop & Screen Saver System Preference. If there is nothing in there, then the only thing I can think of doing is an Archive & Install to get them back. You'll want to do a search 1st, though, just in case they were moved.
If they are were they're supposed to be, try logging into another account to see if it is affected as well. This will help determine if it is a system wide thing, or just user related. If it turns out to be user related, trashing the System Preferences .plist file (located at /Users/yourshortname/Library/Prefrerences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist) should get you back to normal.

Graphic Upgrade Problem with K430 desktop - Unresolved!

Hi,
Xmas 2012 I purchased a Lenovo IdeaCentre K430 Desktop from PC world.
PC World said it would be upgradable if I need to upgrade it.
The system is:
Intel Core i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
16.0 GB DDR3
1.8 TB Hardrive
Windows 8
Geforce GT 640
I recently purchased Crysis 3 and its not running very well, so I brought a Geforce GTX 660.
However when I installed and rebooted the PC, I was greated with a blank flashing screen?
other people have simular problems on the GeForce forums.
I have since took the card back PLUS 3 MORE for a refund, and very dissapointed that I can't upgrade this PC.
CAN SOMEONE AT LENOVO PLEASE REPLY WITH A LIST OF 'MODERN/LATEST GRAPHIC CARDS, THAT ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THIS MODEL STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BOX?
CHANGING THE BIOS SETTINGS DOES NOT WORK FOR ME!
It's been almost 2 years and I've still not found a compatible card, so much for the Ultimate Upgradable PC!
Cheers.

Problems with sending/receiving picture messages

Does anyone know how to sort problems with sending/receiving picture messages on the iphone 4S? I've gone through all the re-setting etc at the place I bought it and it still doesn't work!! Spoken to 02 and they said it's an issue with Apple software?? Any help appreciated.

Can you send/receive SMS's? If so, and you can't send/receive MMS's, and MMS is turned on in Settings, 99.9% of the time the problem is on your carrier's end...most likely MMS is not provisioned properly on your account, regardless of what your carrier is telling you. Call back & have them remove MMS from your account & then re-provision your account for MMS.

I am having a problem with IRM Desktop version 11.1.54.2 Midware 11.1.1.6.0

Hi everyone,
I am experiencing some serious and strange problems with our IRM desktop client which Works with Java SE 6.30 (JRE 6U30). When I installed them (java and IRM) on Windows 8 Professional, IRM stops print spooler service, and block our clients to print anyting, and add a new printer by clicking ADD PRINTER button under Devices and Printer section. This is the visible face of the issue. However, I believe it affects more than one service on Windows 8 Pro. we did not have any problem with Windows 7 pro, but have a lot of with Windows 8 pro. Does anyone have same / similar experience with the same platform? Thanks for all helps

Sync problem with Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac

Can someone help. I have synchronization problem with my contact in the Outlook for Mac using blackberry desktop software for mac. Seems all details in my blackberry handheld contact got synchronized, but not email addresses (so all names, jobs, companies, work phone, mobile - all got synchronized, but not email addresses). All data is in my handheld. I wish I could just "replace" (not merge/sync) outlook contact with all contact in the handheld but seems there is no option to do that. Let me know please if someone has similar experience and has found out solution. Thanks!

Problem with synchronizing desktop software with Lotus Notes

Problem: synchronizing between blackberry storm and my pc with the desktop manager. During the settings of the configuration is asked for the location of the NOTES.INI file. The configuration program finds the NOTES.INI file it's self.
After selecting the NEXT button I get an announcement that the NOTES.INI file can't be opened and the configuration stops.
I don't know what to do to select the right file or setting so the desktop manager can synchronize with my blackberry.
I hope somebody can help me with this problem.

Problem with plasma-desktop

After upgrading to kde 4.7 I've a problem with plasma: after login my screen is black with no panel. If I open a terminal and i launch plasma-desktop I obtain the following errors:

Why plasma isn't running after login?

So dbus has to be the first daemon placed in the rc.conf list?
Yesterday evening I tried to delete the file /home/giacomo/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc and reboot: at new kde startup the screen was black but there were a panel in the low edge of the scrren, so plasma-desktop was running, but the desktop backgroung was not set. I re-apply all my settings (comic strip, cwp and system monitor) and at the next reboot plasma crashed again.
When I come back to home I try to deactivate plasma activities and to change my rc.conf.

Hello Problem with my DCIM pictures files of my Iphone 4

Hello
I have a problem with copying pictures taken with my Iphone 4 on my PC; since the change of IOS version apparently, the structure of the Iphone pictures files has been changed in the DCIM files.
The subfiles are not anymore classified by dates but according to "strange" subfiles with names such as "815KMYLY" or "965YOKDJ" dated all with the same dates giving no indications of which pictures are included inside each of them.
Which means also a large problem to find where are your latest pictures you want to save.
Do you know how I can go back to the previous structure of my Iphone 4 DCIM files to unable me to copy and paste my very last pictures on my PC ??
Thanks a lot for your help.
BOGAERT

You should be importing your pictures to the computer. That is why they have a program that runs on the PC in Windows to do that. It knows what to import based on what has already been imported. When you plug the phone into the computer, it should come up automatically like a digital camera,or you can go to My Computer like you are, and instead of opening it, right click and select Import photos. There will not be a change to the file structure, and you have no access to that portion anyway.

Problem with iOS 7 - picture/video iMessages bug?

I've been trying to send this in as feedback but it hasn't been going through. So I'll post it here. Maybe someone has an answer, or maybe it's a bug that Apple needs to look at.
I think these are bugs. First of all, I love that we can now send up to 20 items that include both video and pictures.
1) When sending images or videos via iMessage, it doesn't always work. It may work after I quit the photos and messages app a few times and then try to send, but if I send some and try to send some more right after (straight from the photos app), they don't go through. I get the message window open and I choose the recipient and I hit send, but nothing happens after that. The only way I've been able to get around it is to select the items and copy and paste them directly into the messages app. Please fix this, it would make things much more efficient.
2) when there are multimedia messages, the messages app does not archive them in the conversation. Meaning, when you scroll up in a conversation, it continues to scroll up and the app loads every single message at once rather than giving you the option to pull down to load more. I've noticed that is still there when the messages are all text. But when there are pictures/videos involved, they don't get archived and this severely impacts loading time when opening up the messages. Sometimes they won't open at all and freeze because of all the memory it requires just to load everything. It happens on my end as well as with the person on the other end of the conversation - both of us are on iOS 7. I'm on an iPhone 4S and they have an iPhone 5. This has been happening since the upgrade to iOS 7.
These are pretty big bugs and should be addressed ASAP. Thanks.

I have had numerous problems with sending media in messages either from messages or from photos app as well.
In general it seems this new os version was kind of rushed and is still very buggy throughout. the 7.1 update should rectify the most common issues (i hope), but definitely try the feedback page again.

Problem with displaying any picture at all.

Hi there, one of my iMacs has a problem with displaying video.
When I turn the computer on the screen shows a yellow-orange hue in the centre, and it's getting wider across the screen and bright, eventually it turns to a white screen. Now I know for a fact it's nothing to do with the logic board! I can control the computer with remote desktop and dim the screen or make it brighter. My question is, is it the cabling that is faulty or something else?
If it's the cabling, how can I open the chrome neck and change it?
Thanks you

Did your testing include utilizing a second display and adapter to see
how a mirrored output of the video would appear; to be sure this item
is isolated to the wiring from the circuit boards to the attached LCD?
There are components within the border of the iMac G4's display which
may affect the image as they wear out and/or fail. The inverter, is one
item that is in the panel along with the backlight and liquid crystal layer.
Removing or replacing the wire harness between these components,
the computer base and LCD panel, is a bit of work. This topic has been
addressed in these forums at one time or another; and a few owners
who contribute here have experience taking these apart. In the past,
getting a known-good display with chrome arm and harness, from an-
other iMac (perhaps one with logic board failure) and combine two,
was an answer when the complete display & arm were known good;
as this saved a fair amount of work on the upper end. Still, taking the
lower orb shape apart is a significant task; to have it work right again.
The cabling could be faulty; the inverter could be. And there may be
yet another associated component failing which produces symptoms.
Taking apart the chrome arm may not be such a good idea; I've seen
the expanded view of one taken apart by a metal cutting saw, and it
has a big spring inside, and a bit of tension. There also are friction pad
parts inside that loose their ability to hold up the panel, so some owners
sought to replace those to varying degrees of trouble.
There should be a few step-by-step instructions. One of the contributors
to the iMac G4 forums here was Mr Totes; one of his web pages had a
few images of take-aparts he'd done. Other sites had basic stuff, such
as replacing optical drive and hard disk drives, thermal paste, RAM, etc.
If you were able to see the correct system images from a second display
via the VGA adapter cable, in mirror mode, the attached unit certainly is
suspect; and the computer is probably repairable. Otherwise, there is a
video component on the logic board not considered a separate part; and
if that fails, the usual fix is to get a reman logic board or another iMac.
Have fun, whichever way it goes.
Good luck & happy computing!

Synchronization Problems with BlackBerry Desktop Manager 4.5v and Windows Mail Client

BlackBerry (RIM) Desktop Manager 4.5v synchronization setup does not work properly. I cannot synchronize my desktop calendar because the only desktop application formats available are (<None>, Ascii Import/Export and Yahoo), Windows Mail is not an option!
I contacted BlackBerry and the only response I received was that I need the Outlook Express program to synchronize my desktop calendar.
Microsoft upgraded from the Outlook program to Windows mail to provide a better program, which I happen to like! The idea of purchasing the Outlook Express software when there is nothing wrong with my current mail program does not make any sense to me! And will BlackBerry support any Vista system issues if there are any compatibility problems with the old Microsoft mail client?
Has anyone contacted BlackBerry about this issue? Any ideas how to fix this problem?
Why can’t Blackberry (RIM) resolve the synchronization issue? In addition to this problem, you may find that the Desktop Manager Device Switch Wizard does not function with the Treo 650 and BlackBerry 8830 and the Advanced feature in Backup and Restore does not seem to save the any files that you want to restore.
BlackBerry Please Help!
Note:
Microsoft Office Standard 2007 is $399, really expensive! Not sure if you can purchase the mail client separately.
- Microsoft website: [“Outlook Express has been replaced by Windows Mail, an improved e‑mail program with enhancements such as junk e‑mail filtering and protection against phishing messages.”]

Hello My8830
You can only synchronize contacts with Windows Mail - you can not synchronize calendar, memos, or tasks. Outlook express does not have these items, and the version of Windows Mail that I am running also does not have them. Windows Calendar is seperate from windows mail on my version of Vista.
So to clarify it all, downgrading to Outlook Express will still not get you calendar synchronization as it does not have a calendar.
Cheers

Problem with Remote Desktop on iPad 2 and windows 8.1 pro

I downloaded the Microsoft Remote Desktop app from the App Store on my iPad 2. I typed in the IP address for my windows 8.1 pro computer on my iPad 2 in school to try connecting to my windows 8.1 pro computer at home. I'm having
a hard time doing it. Do I need a rd remote gateway to access my computer from outside my local network. If so, how do I find my gateway server name? Also, I saw somewhere that I have to press accept in a pop up message on the computer your trying to connect
to. Is this true? No one is home during the day and my iPad 2 has to stay in school. Can you please give me a step by step guide with photos to help me connect to my windows 8.1 pro computer from my iPad 2 from school, which is of course outside my local network.
