Wallpaper change keeps reverting back to previous paper

Hi everyone. Never been here before and this is my first Mac (Yay!). This might be an easy fix but for whatever the reason i'm just not seeing it. I am the only user and administrater on it. I've repeatedly changed the wallpaper to a new pic (all attempts have been setting it to the same pic) and it changes it for me. The problem comes when i restart or shut down and then start up again, it reverts back to the same previous pic. I've checked that there's no default wallpaper set and there is not. Hoping to get the solution from all of you fellow Mac users here. Here's a presolution Thank You Very Much!

Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu. An Info dialog should open.
Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
What is the Modified date?

    Do you mean that all changes you made to your files are lost, or do you mean that changes to your preferences are lost? For example, pick any small file, make a copy of it, and put the copy on your Desktop. After rebooting, is the copy still there?

  • I am having trouble removing/changing my iphone id. It keeps reverting back to my partners id any help would be appreciated.

    I am having trouble removing/changing my iphone id. It keeps reverting back to its previous id. How can I fix this problem?

    Jgreg14 you have my sympathies. 36 hours ago while using my iPad I was told that my Apple ID had been disabled. Like you I went to the forums, reset my password, and also like you, nothing changed. I have contacted iTunes support and after 24 hours they responded with this:
    Cesar here from the iTunes Store Support Team. Your inquiry is very important to me, so I have requested assistance with the issue you reported. You will receive an email after the matter has been investigated and further information is available.
    Thank you for your patience. Apple wants your iTunes experience to be as enjoyable as possible. Take care!
    Boy do I feel special. I sat on the phone to the UK helpline for 30 minutes, and have been told my case has been elevated to "URGENT".
    Basically I was wondering if you ever got your problem sorted out?

  • My APPLE ID is NOT working properly. I am frustrated beyond belief I have tried time and time again to change my apple ID and it keeps reverting back to my original ID!! I even set up a new email to try to submit a new id and it still does not work

    To change your Apple ID, follow these steps:
    Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com), click "Manage your Apple ID", and sign in.
    If you have two-step verification turned on, you'll be asked to send a verification code to the trusted device associated with your Apple ID. If you are unable to receive messages at your trusted device, follow the guidelines for what to do if you can't sign in with two-step verification.
    In the "Apple ID and Primary Email Address section," click Edit.
    Enter the email address you want to use, then  click Save Changes. Apple will send a verification email to that  address.
    Open the  email  from Apple, then click Verify Now in the email.
    When the My Apple ID page opens, sign in with your renamed Apple ID.
    If you have two-step verification turned on, you'll be asked to send a verification code to the trusted device associated with your Apple ID.
    After you see a message indicating that verification is complete, remember to update all of the stores and services that you use with your  Apple ID.

  • Changing "Reel" number keeps reverting back to old number.

    I have a situation where I changed the reel number on about 75 tapes that I have. After changing the #'s, I noticed that about 65 of the changes kept and about 10 keep reverting back to what they were before I changed them. Any ideas on why this is happening? As an example, I had the tapes numbered as: 1001, 1002, 1003, etc but decided to be more specific with my tape labeling and changed them all to HT1_1001, HT1_1002, HT1_1003, etc. All the changes stuck except for a select few. I've even tried dragging the source quicktime file (which is labeled correctly) back into the project...to no avail.

    I don't think I would have thought of that, assuming your capture scratch was all on one drive. Thanks for posting your solution, hardly anyone ever does that around here.

  • How do I revert back to previous (before 11) itunes. Someone nicked my Album Cover flow, without asking

    how do I revert back to previous (before 11) itunes.
    Someone nicked my Album Cover flow, without asking. I have snow leopard. I was happy. Just before Christmas as if I havent got enough to do Thank You. I've given Apple loads of money this year--presents and all, the least they could do is tell me, they're going to take stuff off of My computer that I enjoy,/ find very useful/ and worked hard to update all my album covers and have a gallery of my own artwork for my mixes--it was beautiful. When I went to add some more, the facility had been taken away from me. Was so dissapointed. They send me emails all the time to buy the latest must have products. I even did a questionair to help them. They really care for their customers--right. So why couldnt they warn me about this update, its only polite.
    If I bought a warm coat some years ago, then the manufatures came round without my knowledge and cut off the left arm, and later told me, their reserch says that people dont use the left arm so much so they have to get rid of it. 1. I think that would be illegal. 2. its impolite not to ask if they could do it. 3. why not give me an options to keep it, seeing as i bought it. 4. its ludicrous.
    I trusted Apple-but then -they took my YouTube off my ipad. I cant update to newer software as I will lose some expensive programms (Im not made of money). I also have 2 oldish defunct but fully working laser printers (if they were compatible with new software).
    Im not a techky-I just use the stuff, I do art and music and Cover Flow was equipement I used.
    I want to get rid of itunes 11, anyhelp out there

  • Is there a way of reverting back to previous firefox version

    I use firefox extensively for development. I use firebug and dojo. It seems that the new version (Firefox 4) is far slower than the previous version and sometimes hangs completely. I believe this may be caused by Firebug doing a lot of work but it never used to happen. Also firebug doesn't quite seem to work as well with dojo script. Previously if you did a dojo.require to drag in a js script file then you could automatically see it through firebug. Now have to put files I want to debug with script tags. Is there a way of reverting back to previous firefox version?

    No need to re-install plugins or extensions.
    You can install them both but there are a few steps to take.
    When you install the second version of Firefox use the custom installation option and choose a different location to install Firefox.
    In order to use both versions, you need to create a new profile for the second version of Firefox (Firefox stores user data in the profile). Using the same profile with different versions can cause problems. Once you create a new profile you can copy certain data such as bookmarks and passwords between them. You can also use Firefox Sync to keep the profile synchronized. Finally, you will need to set up shortcuts to launch the correct profile for each version.
    The following links show how to do this:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Shortcut_to_a_specific_profile
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/firefox-sync (only needed for Firefox 3.6, it is built into Firefox 4)
    An alternative way of testing Firefox 4 is to install the portable version on your hard drive. It will use its own profile folder and not interfere with the other version of Firefox. You can get the portable version from http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable

  • ABAP Code in End Routine - reverts back to previous version

    Team:
    Currently, we are in upgrading from 7.01 to 7.4. The new development environment is only used to built the new development work until the mirror image client is upgraded.
    In one customised dataflow, we place some code and the transformation is activated. No issues at all, then the next day, the code reverts back a previous version. Consequently, we are losing the code. We already have a sign off of a piece of work and we checked the code again. We were puzzled as to why the code has gone back to a previous version.
    SAP is asking to replicate the issue. Unfortunately, we cannot replicate accurately this issue. Now, we have two more developers reporting the same case. Yet again, the issue comes and goes. We reboot the server with some success. Then days later, the issue pops up with a developer. The Basis guys have not found anything related to this case.
    Any idea is welcome.

    Sync to Date is currently the only option offered by the DTR.
    You can only edit the active version of a resource in a workspace, because the DTR does not support branching within a workspace: There is no mechanism in place to merge an older version of a resource into the same workspace.
    If you want to do this, you must make a copy of the workspace (a "maintenance" workspace) and make your changes in that workspace. You can integrate the related activity/activities into the "ongoing development" workspace afterwards, if you want to of course.
    Why don't you want your bugfixes to be forwarded by the way? Those bugs are also in your enhancement tracks...

  • Alpha Channel Settings keep reverting back to "Ignore"

    Hey All,
    Just diving into FCPX and I had a question about the alpha channel. After finding the Alpha setting in the inspector, I switched to it premultiply. However, upon clicking out of it, the inspector reverts back to "ignore alpha." It does this whether I change the clip in teh Project or the Library. The title animation I'm using was exported from after effects with the animation preset.
    Is there a reason why it keeps reverting back to the ignore alpha setting?
    Thanks

    There had been a reset method in prior models of PPC powerbooks, etc
    that worked by putting your palm/hand flat over the trackpad for a few

    to not be suggested in remedies to resolve Intel-based trackpad issues.
    Hopefully the SMC reset will help.

    If you're using the Adjust editing pane there is no Done button. When you done with the editing just click on the Photos button at the top or use one of the arrows at the top to advance to the next photo.  No done button required.

  • My Adobe programs keep reverting back to CC instead of 2014.

    My Adobe programs keep reverting back to CC instead of 2014. I have tried restarting my computer as well as uninstalling and re-installing Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. InDesign won't install at all but it doesn't give me an error code, it just says "Installation Error."

    Is this about internet shortcuts on the desktop or bookmarks on the Bookmarks Toolbar?
