Why can't we change the wallpaper of the home screen?
I was just wondering, because people who jailbreak their iTouch can change the background. You can change the lock screen sure, but why not the background of the home screen? I consider that worth an update Because I am not going to jailbreak my iTouch but I reallllly want to be able to change the background. Boring seeing the same color every time I use my iTouch. Thanks, I was just really curious, I am sure others were too.
Because that is not a feature of the iphone.
Unless Apple announces, there is no way to know why they make the decisions that they do.
No one here is privy to the decision making process at Apple.

I can change it in the Finder if logged in as admin or via the terminal as root.

"You don't, they only appear in open file dialogs and in tool panels like in iMovie, iPhoto.
To view your media, you open the app that you use to manage that type of media." this on the other hand was zero help
What you did doesn't show the Media Browser. It just shows the folders where your media is stored. You may be correct that was all that cobacc wanted.
The Media Browser shows the actual media in thumbnails so that you can preview the media.
However, neither requires any Sharing services to be enabled. -

Why can't I change the transparent color and font color in IOS 7?
Who thought all this WHITE AND TRANSPARENT color looks appealing?
Why can't I change the color of the folders and text?
I already tried inverting the colors and then it washes out the photos I use as my wallpaper.
I love everything, so far, except this transparent issue.That's very sad those colors can't be changed. They really look ugly.
Thanks for responding. -
HT201210 Why can't I change the location of my device backups?
Why can't I change the location of my device backups?
iTunes seems to force me to use my c:\ drive as the destination for all backups.
Background: I have set up my c:\ drive only for programs - all data is stored on separate drives - including my iTunes library and all media. So, I can't skinny down the c:\ drive any more without uninstalling programs.
The issue is that my 10,000 rpm, 280 GB - C:\ drive is fast but small and is now FULL after I got about 1/2 way through a 128 GB backup of my ipad. (Yes, all movies have been deleted off of the iPad to minimize the size of the backup.)
I deleted the partial iPad backup, moved all the Mobile Applications to another drive, emptied the recycle bin and tried again with my much smaller iPhone. You guessed it: the io7 update hung and both of my devices are now paper weights.
Which leaves me f*cked, anyone know how I can un-f myself?SPURCHASE wrote:

iTunes movies are not part of an iDevice backup.
Videos & photos you take with the camera (in the Camera roll) are part of the backup but those should be sync'd to the computer and removed from the camera roll. -
How do I change the default programme to open pictures when downloading? It always proposes Windows Live Photo Gallery and I have to change it to Windows Photo Viewer every time. Why can't I make it automatic? - the tick box is greyed out.

Why can't I select "get info" from the file area so I can change the setting to "open in 32-bit mode" ?
It may be because of your settings. You can modify that setting in System Preferences > Trackpad. Another way of making right-click is to click the app icon while holding the Control key

Why can't I change the transaction isolation level?
I was trying to change the transaction isolation level from an EJB. My source codes are shown as the follows:

System.out.print( "2. " );
disp_tx_status( status );
} catch( SQLException ex ) {

However, I encountered the following exception when running at the highlighted statement:

To my surprise, the isolation level TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE is supported from the database vendor. So why can't I change the transaction isolation level?You can change the setting, you may need to click the lock at the bottom of the preference pane.

Why can I not change the apple id associated with iphoto and imovies
Why can I not change the appleid associated with iphoto and imovies
Is it not your Apple ID? Is this a used Mac? If so, the Mac, OS X and the iLife apps are all registered to the original owner of the Mac.
When someone sells a Mac they should erase the Mac and reinstall the most recent version of OS X that came with the Mac. And they should call Apple Care and have the Mac, the OS and the iLife apps disassociated from their Apple ID. Can you call the original owner and request that? -
Why can't apple change back the old map it's better
Recently I've downloaded iOS 6 but the map can't do things that the old map can. Can't apple change the map to the iOS 5 map?
No, they've severed their agreement with Google that allowed for maps to be bundled with iOS (note though that you can just use safari and go to maps.google.com - it will even popup prompting you to save the bookmark to your home screen for future reference).
Google is supposedly working on their own iOS 6 app.
