Cannot open desk top folders anymore

Greetings all - new Mac user here. Been totally happy for the past month but just today something strange (for me!) has happened. Hoping its an easy fix.
All of a sudden I cant open any of the folders on my desk top or using Finder - Go - I cant go to any of my folders like Home , Applications etc.
I click it and usually nothing happens.....sometime all the icons on my desk top disappear for a second then come back.
I have a new iMac 2.4 24 inch with 3 gb of ram. Running Leopard.
Any suggestions?????

Is creating a new user account a viable way of fixing this? Doesnt seem like its really fixing anything, just burying the problem. (No offense at Ebecks reply!!)
It is. The fact that you don't have any problems when you are using a different account also confirms the diagnosis - you have some corrupt/conflicting preferences files.
Two ways to deal with that: bury them or kill them - it will accomplish the same thing! user preferences files affect one user account ONLY and can not possibly interfere with your work if you switch over to a different account.
However, this might not be necessary. As I said before one way to deal with it is by using TM to restore your system to some time point before the you installed these extra programs and before the problem occured.
Another way is to try deleting some preferences files to see if that fixes the problem. The most obvious files to try are com.apple.desktop.plist and com.apple.finder.plist in the mainusername/Library/Preferences directory.
Since you can't delete them in the usual way as you can't access your folders do this:
Type "terminal" in the spotlight window and press enter. This should bring up a terminal window. type "cd Library/Preferences" (don't type the quotation marks) and press enter. Type "rm com.apple.desktop.plist" press enter. Type "rm com.apple.finder.plist" and press enter. Restart.
Hopefully, this will fix things.

What does the icon on the top of the screen of the ipod touch that looks like a lock with a circle around it mean?, What does the icon on the top of the screen of the ipod touch that looks like a lock with a circle around it mean?

So at the top of my screen like where the time is... there is this symbol that looks like a lock with a circle around it. It is next to the battery icon. What does this mean?

It's the screen orientation lock. It prevents the screen from switching between portrait and landscape views when you turn the iPod.
To engage or disengage this feature, double click the home button. This will bring up the multitasking tray. Swipe all the way to the left until you see the iPod controls, then tap the gray icon with the lock on it. This will toggle the feature on and off.

Help! Flashing desk top icons and screen de-selection

While in any screen, my desk top icons will flash off for a second or 2 and then back on. At the same time, the screen I am in will be de-selected. Anyone have a cure or experience this?
Thanks

Hi Wayne, and a warm welcome to the forums!
It's likely some 3rd Party APP that got broken by the recent QT or Security update.
Stuffit AVR has been a big one, if you have that use the Pref Pane to turn it off, but others have been implicated too. Check System Preferences for a Stuffit Pref Pane and disable AVR.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it is some 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
/private/var/run/StartupItems
/Library/StartupItems

New to Mac how do I enlarge the Command line at the top of the screen OS X 10.9.2

Im new to Mac so this is a learning curve. in windows I could enlarge the fonts so I could read them but I can't find anything to help with the Line at the top of the screen. Please tell me how the blind is to see this small print.

You can try the free app TinkerTool. It will let you increase the system font size.
I've not used it so can't tell you how effective it is.

Setting theme as either desk top page or screen saver

similiar ? I asked before .... how can I see "more" of a theme ... much like when one sets a theme in Chrome .... its the whole page ..... thats what I want on Firefox.

See also:
* https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Using+themes+with+Firefox
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Themes (Lightweight theme)
A Light weight theme (Persona) covers the user interface part of Firefox (toolbar area) and not the browser window with the web pages.
Add extra empty toolbars if you want to see more of that theme.<br />
You can create extra toolbars to get extra space via View > Toolbars > Customize<br />
You have to put something on a toolbar (drag a Space item onto it) before closing the Customize window because empty toolbars are automatically removed.

I uploaded a photo onto my desk top and it was too big when I tried to change it I couldn't get into iPhoto it just wouldn't open

I uploaded a photo to my desk top as my screen saver and it was too big, when I tried to get back into iPhoto I couldnt, it wouldn't open, I closed it and tried again and it still will not open, can you help me?

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Issue with opening Deski in standalone mode through command line

Hi,
I am using the below command to open deski in the background, in standalone mode. I keep getting the login prompt. Please suggest the correction that needs to be done
"...\busobj.exe" -user "" -pass "" -nologo -auth "standalone" -system ""

Looks like it might be bug 15982024 where the target is already part of a cluster. Can you check your unpromoted targets (Setup -> Add Target -> Auto Discovery Results -> tab Agent Based Targets) and see if a cluster on either of those hosts is already discovered but not yet promoted. If so, you can try to delete that discovered cluster, and retry the cmd.
Log File Locations
The following examples show possible log file locations:
Example 2-3 No Configuration Directory Specified with Setup Verb (default location)
user.home/.emcli/.emcli.log user.home/.emcli/.emcli.log.1
If you do not specify a configuration directory when you run the setup verb (-dir option is omitted), EM CLI assumes the .emcli configuration directory is located within your local home directory. The log files are placed at the root level of the .emcli directory. The .emcli directory must be local (not mounted remotely).

Just downloaded FF 4 beta 1 and... what the hell am I looking at? What are all these multi-colored buttons all over the top of my screen?

What is this? I just downloaded FF 4 beta 1, and I make figure out what all of this at the top of my screen is for. I wish I could send you a screen shot! The actual window is cut in half...what the hell?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== As soon as it was downloaded and installed

That's Page Saver, and it's great for taking a snap shot of a webpage. It doesn't capture any of the browser tool bars and such, though, and that's where my problem is. I've got a great splat of toolbar and many many many colored buttons and other random things eating up the top four or more inches of the screen when I open FF4b1, and I can't get rid of it. A screen capture shows the problem well, but something made with Page Saver only shows the web content and none of the browser.
This is turning out to be far more trouble than it's worth.

Change desk top picture and system locks up

Newbie to Apple/Mac and I need your help Please. I was trying to change my desk top picture on my MacBook Pro 13. I went into "Systems"-Desktop/Screensaver and clicked on photos and the spinning disk starts up and locks up. The only way to stop it is forced shutdown. Try a restart and lockup again. Help Please. Thanks.

Quit System Preferences if it's running. In the Finder, hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following item, if it exists:
Caches/com.apple.systempreferences
and move the following item to the Desktop:
Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
Launch System Preferences and test. If you still have the issue, put the item on the Desktop back where it came from and post again. Otherwise, delete the item.

What is the default key command for THE COMMAND (apple) key? I seem to have changed it somehow along the way and now when I push the command key (only) it hides all open windows and shows the desk top and when I push it again it shows all windows again...I need to return to default A.S.A.P. just this one key...Any ideas? Thanks in advance...

Go to
 > System Preferences > Keyboard
Click on the 'Keyboard' tab and hit the 'modifier keys...' button. You can see and change the defaults there.
As I'm not sure if all the labels are the same in Lion, he's a screenshot from Snow Leopard. It should be similar enough:
