I could always choose any photo in my iPhoto for my desktop, but no longer. This problem is only about a month old and I can't figure out what to do.

    When I charge my I pad I just get the apple sign and not a charge. After hours of charging sometimes I might get a slight red battery but then it returns back to the apple sign. I am using the correct battery.

    I have a ipad 2. I have the 10W wall charger.
    I did try to reboot the ipad by holding both keys down  and the Apple logo did appear but the Ipad would bot restart.
    I do own a Iphone and tried charging earlier by switching out the cables and not the charger. In fact in the apple home we have three i-phones and have tried muliple cables with no luck.
    Thanks for your help.
    That doesn't sound good at all.
    Since the Reset didn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • What dose it mean when ipod just blinks the apple symbal and wont charge

    My ipod wont charge and now when on charger will just blink the Apple symbol

    Hi Julesvamc,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    When an iPod only shows an Apple logo, this usually means that the device needs to be restored.
    You can find more information about this symptom, as well as step by step instructions for restoring an iPod at this page:
    iPod only shows an Apple logo and doesn't start up - Apple Support
    You may need to restore or update your iPod, iPod mini, or iPod nano by placing it in Disk Mode if only an Apple logo appears when you turn it on.
    All the best,
    Jeremy

  • Why is my system prefences freezing when i want to change my desktop picture?

    I got a picture and i want to tile it so i went to system prefences and changed it the ikmage are showed a question mark and the background went black.I shut it down turned it off and restart it but it wont work.Help me please.

    First follow the instructions in this support article:
    System Preferences stops responding after viewing Desktop & Screen Saver pane
    If there's no change, continue as below.
    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.

  • Aperture. I have so many pictures and not sure where to put them now that my MacBook Pro is filled?

    I have so many pictures on my Mac book pro on aperture that I can not put anymore on.  If I put them on a hard drive h
    Then how do I access them like a library?

    Aperture allows you to store your Images' Originals on any directly connected drive (must be formatted "Mac OS Extended, Journaled"), and gives you the option and the ability to move your Originals any time you want.
    So get an external drive, format it correctly, select the Images whose Originals you want to move to that external drive, and move them using the command "File➞Relocate Originals".
    An Image's Original must be on-line in order for you to be able to make adjustments, export, or print that Image.  When the Original is off-line, you are still able to change the metadata, and view and share the Image's Preview.
    If you are uncertain about the parts of Aperture, my User Tip is as good a place to start as I know .
    Here is the topic as covered in the well-done Users Manual.  Note that the User Manual uses the terms "Master" and "Original" synonymously, and that it confuses users by refering to referenced and managed _Images_.  Image's are not, themselves, referenced or managed.  The Original of each Image is a file (the one you imported); that file is the item that is either referenced or managed.
    What Are Managed Images and Referenced Images?

    Well have you tried holding down on both buttons until the Apple Logo appears on the screen again? Hold both buttons down for about 10 seconds or so and when the Apple logo appears on the screen again, let go of the buttons.

    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Alternatively, see:
    Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Choose the version you have installed now:
    OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X

  • Using the latest version, the program now takes a good 30 seconds to shut down when given the quit command. Is there a fix? This is on a Macbook Pro.

    I am using the quit command under the Firefox menu.

  • System Preference freezes when I want to change desktop background picture

    My system preference freezes when I try to change my desktop background picture, any help, I tried disk utility repair, couldn't find the files to trash.

    Login to the problematic account ensure that System Preferences is closed down.  Move the following file to trash:
    <home>/Library/Caches/com.apple.preferencepanes.cache
    but don't delete it from the trash yet, just in case you need to restore it.  Re-open System Preferences, it will re-create the file.  If all's well then, then you can empty the trash.
