Upgraded to MAC OS 10.8.3 and now can't change desktop photo (not responding).

I installed the update, rebooted and now can't change my desktop in System Preferrences (spinning wheel of death/ not responding when I try to search for pictures). Anybody else have this issue?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Try deleting the Desktop settings file. First, open Finder, select Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type ~/Library/Preferences. Then, delete "com.apple.desktop.plist" and "com.apple.systempreferences.plist", and restart, so you should be able to change the desktop

I received an Keynote update notice on my Mac Air. I updated and now can not get into my saved keynote docs. I am being asked to upgrade again and purchase the upgrade. Anyone else having this issue?

Try this repair, ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
1 delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote, use Appcleaner from Mac Update to           do this, its freeware
2 restart the Mac;   Apple menu > restart
3 immediately after the start chime, press the shift key until you see the Apple symbol.
         let it fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
4 when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and           click repair disc permissions
5 when complete, restart the Mac normally
6 install Keynote from the Mac App Store
Please report back to let us know if this helped.

I have recently upgraded my iMac to 10.6.8 and now find that the upload photo to Facebook facility no longer works. I have reset Safari but this has not resolved the issue - any suggestions?

I have recently upgraded my iMac to 10.6.8 and now find that the upload photo to Facebook facility no longer works. I have reset Safari but this has not resolved the issue - any suggestions? I can click on the "upload photos/video" field and it takes me to Finder to select the photo - but on selecting the photo, the Finder screen disappears as normal but from then on nothing happens.

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Now empty the Safari cache.
Back to the menu bar, click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
Quit and relaunch Safari then try Facebook.
If that doesn't help, it may be a Safari extension preventing you from uploading content to Facebook.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

Upgraded to ILife and now can't open my photos

I had all my photos in iPhoto then I upgraded to iLife '11 and now I can't open my photos, Any suggestions?

now I can't open my photos, Any suggestions?
Jody,
What happens when you try to open your iPhoto library? An error message? Does iPhoto not launch?
please post back with more information.
What version of iPhoto did you upgrade from? You may need to download and run iPhoto Library Upgrader to be able to upgrade to the latest version, if you upgraded from iPhoto 5 or earlier.

So, I upgraded my iphoto and now can't access my photo library

I thought I needed to upgrade iphoto but now my mac can't read my library. Did I loose my pictures for good?

Hey mochalulu,
In most cases when you upgrade your iPhoto application, the first time you launch iPhoto afterwards it will update your iPhoto Library. In rare situations this may have issues. This article explains how to resolve those issues -
Update iPhoto '11 to 9.0.1 before upgrading library - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,

I "upgraded" to 10.8 Mountain Lion and now can only email one photo at a time

With 10.8 I can now send only one photo at a time from iPhoto through Mail - e.g., two "small" photos with a combined file size of 400 kb will "resize (null)" and freeze Mail, whereas I can send one "actual size" photo 5 mb in size. This stinks since before I could send multiple photos limited only by the size of my pipe.

I am from France , and I have the same problem with multiple photos ! I have 2 IMacs, one gives no problem, and the other freeze while sending more than one photo!
I did not find any solution (except using the mail module from IPhoto, or adding the photo by sliding manually into mail)
Are we the only 3 in the world having this problem?!
More seriously, did you found any solution?
Thank !

ITunes (upgrade) 10.1.0.64(x64) fails and now can't install iTunes

Hi...need a bit of help here please.
I've been running iTunes fine now for years and due to the 'always seems to work' I even bought an iPhone and iPad, however I'm now stuck.
Last Thursday, the iTunes updater service told me a new version was available, without even thinking about it (as it always seems to work) I said yes...oh dear.
At the end of the installation it wanted to reboot, so I said yes, however after the reboot the iTunes icon wouldn't startup iTunes and complained about a lack permissions. I checked the folder structure and it was true, my account didn't have permissions...in fact no account did other than something called msiserver. So I took over the permission but still nothing.
I then set about uninstalling iTunes (control panel etc) and downloaded the iTunes64 package from Apple. This time it complained about the "Windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be found".
So...pop over to the iTunes forum and seems like I'm not alone. Advice was to uninstall and download 'Revo Uninstaller' and make sure everything is removed. I did this and rebooted. Tried the installation again and received the same message about the Installer Package.
Another '****-up' is that when the installation fails, it doesn't remove everything as it's trying to back out. The Mobile Device, Bonjour and Apple Updater remain.
Any ideas?
Scott

I finally got it to work! Whew! Sorry. lol Ok, I went to the support page for iTunes (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/) and went to the Installing and Removing iTunes bar and clicked on the Uninstalling iTunes sub category. Then, I clicked on this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923. You can choose which article to use depending on your operating system. I followed all the steps then downloaded the newest version of iTunes, and it worked. All of my stuff is back.

I updated my mac's OS to Yosemite and now my eye drop tool will NOT work inside premiere pro. Can anyone help me fix this issue?

The eyedropper tool for selecting colors to key out or to fill text will not work inside premiere pro, this error started when I updated my mac os to yosemite.

Hi Transportation,
Does the error occur in OS X 10.9? If not, why not remain at OS X 10.9? Is it necessary to run OS X 10.10?
The general rule of thumb is that when you are running software that is no longer tested or supported on a new operating system, you have to prepare for anomalies like this. You may want to install a separate bootable hard drive with OS X 10.9 on it so you can continue running that software more reliably.
Hope that helps,
Kevin

I want to transfer my photos from iPhone to my macbook pro as I have done many times before but I pressed (don't trust instead of trust) accidentally and now can't access the photos at all on the computer.

My phone is an iPhone 4
computer is a macbook pro OS X 10.8.5
When I plugged in the phone it asked me to unlock the phone with my password which I did.
Then it asked if I trust the device and I accidentally pressed don't trust. On the computer ( iPhoto) it told me there were no photos on the phone)
I tried unmounting the phone and retrying but get 0 photos now when there are many new ones.

iOS 7 devices need iTunes 11.1 or newer to sync. Depending upon your computer and the OS it is running, you may not be able to upgrade to iTunes 11.1 based on the requirements for iTunes 11.1. What computer and OS are you running your iTunes on? From the iTunes download pages I see the requiorements are:
Macintosh System Requirements
Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
OS X version 10.6.8 or later
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
Windows System Requirements
PC with a 1GHz Intel or AMD processor and 512MB of RAM
Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
400MB of available disk space
Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store

I hit "tabs on top",and now can't change them back..what a mistake. Opera

First,don't like to be forced to be updated..second,you used to be able to change the tabs position..I hit,"tabs on top"..in the bookmarks tab,thinking I could change back..WHAT A MISTAKE..Opera is a cool browser,that needs to be revisited..great sliding zoom feature too. My GF uses Comodo Dragon as her browser (almost too secure)..but if security is what really want at the expense of,yes some porn sites..:-(
then go for it.
Firefox has crashed more times lately too. I still use it though for the adblock,so it has been relegated to one step above IE.
Don't like Chrome,"what's with the symbols..how about words?" dumb move.
Anyway thanks for letting me type,
I am sure there is no simple answer to moving the tabs,by what I read..
Too bad for Firefox..its actually sad,P.S..was thinking about a Firefox phone,but that is no longer an option. At least with this problem,I am not out any money..

If the devs don't change their attitude they will kill Firefox.
...who knows, maybe that's exactly the intention...
(it looks like chrome, boasts the win 8 design atrocities and soon will have the privacy and security of an iphone or android device, so why are we even still using it ?)
We're all freeloaders anyways, so we should be kissing their feet, not complain about them messing up our ease of use with "their" brilliant UI design and functionality ideas.
...so sad indeed, another good community tool goes down the samewash drain.

Hi ishmakov,
The PIXMA MP170 is not supported with Mac OSX v10.9, that is why you are experiencing this error.
