Where have the original beautiful pictures gone?

Hi!
I seem to have lost the pictures originally provided with the iMac and/or OS X Tiger. Where were/are these pictures stored? If deleted by accident: can I restore them one way or the other?
I got my iMac five days ago and started working with it since the day before yesterday. I could find beautiful pictures already available on it. I was very glad with these pictures, but infortunately I seem to be unable to find them again (or maybe I deleted them by accident...?).
Who can help me to find them back or to get them back?
Thanks in advance for helping me out!!!
iMac Intel Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Have a look in:
HD/Library/DeskTop Pictures/
That is where I found mine just now on this Powerbook. My OS is 10.4.8 Your version may be different and may put them elsewhere. I doubt it.
One of the pics that form the wallpaper is "Aqua Blue.jpg".
You could use finder to look for that. I found the location by using finder to look for the extension "jpg".
If it is some other pictures you mean then there are many of them serving various purposes in the OS and the bundled software. My 'jpg' finds alone were about 1500.
The pretty background pictures ought not to dissapear. You might have swapped a picture of (say) the clown fish for a plain vanilla tone, by accident in System Prefernces. Go into the 'Desktop' pane of System Preferences and check what options it has and change if desired (try this first), alway assuming you have not wiped them. If you have, all I can suggest is you reinstall the OS and update a drastic solution. I doubt if 'Pacificst' will be able to pick the pics out of the install package.
You could use pics of yourself, but your friends might get cheezed off. Sys Prefs can use any file in a folder in non 'hidden places on the disk'.

Where have the shortcut website links gone?

I know this sounds lame, but where have my icons for websites gone? I guess Firefox updates the browser automatically because I did not update it. And now I log on this morning and my Facebook, Wikipedia, Pandora, etc shortcut icons are gone. I loved having those on my page for quick links. And now it looks like in the update they were all erased.
And the new Facebook extension is too intrusive. I have multiple people who log onto my computer so having all the information on the tool bar will not work for me.
In any case, is there a way to uninstall the latest version of Firefox. It looks like I am working off version 8.0.1.
HELP!

If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
*Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
*Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

*** where have the ipod classic games gone?

DOes anyone know where the ipod classic games on itunes have gone?

Where have you been these last few years? All iPod clickwheel games were removed from the iTunes Store as of October 2011. Any you still have in your library can be used with a compatible device, but they can no longer be purchased or redownloaded from the store so keep a good backup.

Where have the CSV bill reports gone?

I download my quarterly bill in CSV format as some calls are claimed back from an employer. Since the change of the website I cannot find where the CSV download option has gone to. Can someone please direct me to it?

Hi AndrewD,
Welcome to the forum!
CSV files are available for the calls on the current bill only. To get to it:
- View your most recent bill;
- Click on ‘What you used’ on the navigation menu on the left of the page;
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page where the text link (‘Download Data’) is for the CSV file;
- Click on the text link to start the CSV download.
All the best,
Stephanie

In Mail, where have the pull down menus gone?

On the previous Mail, I would use the pull down menu to access "Take all accounts Offline", for example. Now, after a recent update, there are no pulldown menus.

Thanks a lot, Michael.
Now I wonder why these changes are seen as improvements. What was an easy to use program became one where I needed an instruction book. Seems like a step backwards to me. Not blaming you of course. Thanks for coming to my rescue.

Where have the psb file previews gone with PS CC?

I've just worked on a large 16 bit image file in PS CC and saved it as a 4Gb .psb file and now I no longer see a preview in the OS or Bridge, just a PS icon. This is a major issue for me as I work with large files all the time and therefore have to save layered psb files on a daily basis. The lack of previews now when working with PS CC is more than an inconvenience. With CS6 I get psb previews ok.
Any ideas? I tested two systems running Snow Leopard and latest Mountain Lion to no avail. I also already tried removing all caches, ran utilities to clean and repair permissions etc.
Is this a bug in PS CC?
Any helpful suggestions would be most welcome but I will reluctantly be going back to CS6 until this is solved.
Cheers
Morgan

Thanks. I have now posted the question there. I have found yet more bugs in the last few mins using PS CC so I will keep relaying my findings as I feel like a beta tester already. Oh joy.

Where have the headers and footers gone?

Hello,
I am opening some old spreadsheets in Numbers and the headers are missing. They dont magically appear when i print the doc either.
I can see the headers and footer when I do a "quickview" of the file, but when I open it, they arent there and I can not find an option to view them.
Any help? Thank you.

Hi Andrew,
Though Numbers 3 currently doesn't have page headers, there are some workarounds that can achieve the effect of having headers (though, for footers, you're limited to page number). See this in Print Preview:
You can set up extra Header Rows in your table and have them repeat on each printed page. The Table Name only shows on the first printed page, so you may want to uncheck Table Name before printing:
See this thread for an example of how this workaround worked for one user.

HT6378 I "upgraded" to iCloud Photo Library (Beta), my 2000+ pictures between my iphone/ipad has now become 85 photos. Where are the other 1900 pictures--not in the deleted folder?

I upgraded to iCloud Photo LIbrary (Beta) today but my 2000+ pictures have now become 85 pictures on the iCloud/iPhone & iPad. The pictures are not in the deleted folder. These "pictures" were NOT normal with prior IOS upgrades. I could not delete them. Where have all of these pictures gone?

Ok, so here's a solution to this issue:
Backed up my iPhone on iTunes
Did a factory reset on iPhone
Restored the thing from previous backup
Re-entered all my passwords and such
Now it's syncing again.
The whole procedure took me about two hours.
No idea why this happened. Beta, I guess.

Iphoto won't start. photo won't start because I need Library Upgrader? where can I get I as don't have the original disc.

iphoto won't start because I need Library Upgrader? where can I get I as don't have the original disc.

Sounds like you have a damaged library7 To check launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and try to create a test library. If you can import a few photos. If that works then your original library is damaged so make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #3
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Where have the charts gone in iTunes 11?

In genereal I like iTunes 11 but I can't find any top 10 charts for music, movies, TV shows apps or books! Where have the charts gone?

Thanks Poikkeus but I still can't find it! I assume you're referring to the music pulldown menu? There's no Charts selection in there. Maybe it's different for iTunes Australia?

Where is the original user profile picture?

I accidently changed it to a photo i took on photobooth and I can't find it anymore.

Where have the Quicktime advanced export settings gone in Keynote 6.3?

Where have the Quicktime advanced export settings gone in Keynote 6.3?
In previous versions, it was possible to select numerous options and setting to export a high quality Quicktime video.

The new version 6 and the previous version 5 can both be installed, many users use both to utilise the different features. If you had the previous version installed and have not deleted it is located in iWorks in the Applications folder. If you don't have the previous version it is available from Ebay.
