Show my pictures on desktop?

Greetings,
Is there an application that will show my pictures on the desktop in a slide show on a continuous basis as I work on my MacBook Pro? Windows 7 has a wiget that will do that will run a slide show of all the pictures on the hard drive in a little box and I am wondering is Apple has something like that.
Thanks in advance for your help and support.

System Preferences not showing all pictures in Desktop & Screensaver

This problem only happened recently, whenever i go into system pref to change my desktop i do not see all the preview pics from my picture folder. Even though i do not see them in the system pref window i can still click on them and it will still set them as my desktop. Would having alot of high res pictures make them not show in system pref?
Ibook g4 12'' Mac OS X (10.4.8)

it is possible that with a large volume of large res pix in that folder that the little "preview icons" take some time to generate. Also, i have noticed that not all my graphic files will generate a "preview" even if the app in question can utilize and read the file.

I put in my memory card to the left side of the computer, but I cannot find the file of pictures anywhere. Its not even on my desktop. What should I do and how can I get it to show up on my desktop?

If your Mac is new-ish and has one of the Lions as its OS, the drives, cards, USB sticks no longer show up, even though they're there. Go to Finder's Preferences and tick the corresponding items in the General and Sidebar tabs.

Have a macbook pro running osx lion, connected a kindle fire using micro usb to transfer pictures and the disk icon won't show up on the desktop. When I ran disk utilities the kindle does show up there. Any thoughts as to why it's not recognizing?

Kindle is connected directly, not thru a hub. Also called Amazon Kindle support, tech was baffled when I told her I was using a Mac. She said, "I'm not really familiar with apple products."
Precisely why it's not an iPad, and why it doesn't cost very much. An Apple rep would tell you how to connect an iPad to every computer.

The external hard drive is not showing up on my desktop

I've just brought a new external Hard drive for my mac book pro and when I put the usb cable into the laptop nothing showed up on the desktop. I waited a few minutes but nothing happen and then I turned off the computer and did it again. Will be great help if anyone knows what to do.

Not enough information.
What exactly is this EHD and Which Mac OS X are you running.
Have you ever connected an EHD to your computer before...

I want to set up a user account for my 3 year old, so when she goes into her account, only her games show up on the desktop

I am trying to set up a user account for my 3 year old so that when she goes into her account, only her games show up on her desktop. How??

yes -- I think I am setting it up right, but when I go into her account to check it, it doesn't work.

How do I get a volume to show up on the desktop?

The big, roomy new disk in my MacBook now has three partitions (startup, and two more) and I can open them and do all the usual stuff from a Finder window. However, what I can't seem to figure out is how to get a disk icon to show up on my desktop so I don't have to go thru the finder window to open it.
This must be the simplest thing in the world, & I have overlooked the obvious, but can someone give the the hint(s) on how to do this? I tried Help, but without knowing what iIwas looking for, that didn't work out.
Thanks!

Sure enough, it was the simplest thing in the world!

External hard drive does not show up on my desktop.

I just got this imac and when I plug in my external hard drive it does not show up on my desktop. On all of the macs at school it just shows up but they are running lepoard and I have lion so I don't know if this could make a difference. I have tried draging it droping it but that didn't work.
PS I am just switching from a pc to a mac so I don't know much.

Start a finder window. In the menubar go to Finder > Preferences > General tab > Check show HDs on desktop.

My G Drive will not show up on my desktop for use. It did yesterday. It is not full and currently the light turns on and seems to be running but will not show up on my desktop. What can I do?

1. verify on another Mac first. and another port.
2. very likely dead SATA card

Your dead external hard drive is likely fine! Great hope for your 'faulty' external HD

My ipod shows up on my desktop, but not in itunes 7.

Let me start out by saying I've never had any itunes + ipod probems before. Everything has run smoothly up until now.
Last week I upgraded my OS to 10.4.7 because I had been running on 10.2.8 since 2001 and itunes wouldn't let me download albums containing music videos. So I decided it was time for the upgrade. I also upgraded to itunes 7 and had been previously using itunes 6. This is when the problems started. Now whenever I plug my ipod into my computer with my firewire cord, my ipod shows up on my desktop, but not in itunes and I am completely clueless on what to do. No error messages pop up or anything. My ipod charges and that's about it. I tried doing the 5 R's, but none of that helps. I have a feeling it's itunes's problem and not my ipod's. I was thinking that maybe if I uninstall itunes 7 and re-install 6, everyting would work again; but I don't know how to uninstall itunes and I don't want to risk losing my library. I'd just like for itunes 7 to recognise my ipod and update it. Can anyone help me?

My iPod is a click wheel...I think that's fifth generation?
I've always used my firewire cable to update my iPod. I've tried using USB in the past but for some reason it always says that my iPod has low battery and won't let me update it, so I just use firewire. Can I not use firewire with itunes 7?
I'll try using the USB again. It's laying around here somewhere. Just gotta find it.

Do what you are being told. Plug the phone into a computer running iTunes and restore the phone.

I want to play music from my playlist when I am using slideshow of my pictures in Ipad, but I can only choose ONE SINGLE song, and it continuously repeates itself. Is there a way to play the complete playlist while showing my pictures?

You can start the playlist playing in the iPod app and then switch into the Photos app and start your (non-music) slideshow - as you've found out you can currently only select a single track in the Photos app. Whether that will change in iOS 5 I don't know, but you could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

A few days ago my TV show and movie displays went whacky-the shows are no longer in alpha order, there are multiple listings of the same show, the pictures are random-including album covers. I downloaded latest version. Any ideas??

ME TOO.
I think mine are all still in alphabetical order, but :
* movies I deleted from my library and told "hide this purchase in the cloud" are showing up again. If I try to play them, I get the "cannot find the file in its proper location, would you like to locate it" error message.
* for movies that have "iTunes Extras," the extras show up as a separate item, with another copy of the movie artwork. Most of these I believe I had DELETED the "iTunes Extras" anyway.
* Items are showing up multiple times.
* A few MUSIC ALBUMS are listed in my Movies section.
* Some movies (I believe ones that I deleted off my HD but are still in the cloud) are showing random album covers instead of their proper artwork.
* Just rented a movie, and it didn't show up anywhere in my library. It downloaded properly and completely, was in a suitably labeled folder in my iTunes/Media/Movies section, but didn't show up in any section of the library (or via a library search). Had to manually find it and tell it to open the file using iTunes.
Running the latest version, even checked for updates. No other changes made lately since the last round of apple software updates. This was wonky before the latest small update to iTunes - now it's even wonkier. And it is very, VERY effing annoying.

How to show a picture both on client and server at the same time (X11?)

Hi Guys
I want show a picture on my client as well as on the server(in another location) at the same time, pretty much like showing something both on laptop and on a projector. Assume I have a picture sssss.jpg on the server A1, if I want to open that picture to my client, I can simply to do the following from client A2:
xhost A1
telnet to and login A1
setenv DISPLAY "ipaddress of A2":0.0
Anyone can direct me how to show picture the client that I am sitting at an also show on the server at the same time?
Thanks

VNC would let you do that. With a shared connection, both machines could run a VNC client to the same session.
