Why did my Macbook create a new desktop?

Hi. My Macbook either created a a new desktop in Mission Control or changed the wallpaper of one of them. Any thoughts on why this may have happened?

Backup first and then try deleting the 7th desktop. If there was an application assigned there, you can always add it back. Hover the cursor over the desktop to delete it.
I agree it is odd, because all my desktops have the same background. Troubleshooting can take awhile.

    Why does mail keep creating a new junk mail folder at the bottom of my folders. This is in addition to the standard junk mail folder.

    Hi Michael
    Welcome to the forum.
    Do you have Stuffit installed and are saving to the desktop?
    Because in that case it is Stuffit decompressing the Pages document's package.
    Just save to your document folder.

  • Couldn't see the effect after create the new desktop

    Hi freind:
           I created a new desktop (copied from the default ), make invisible all parts including  Masthead Tool Area Top-Level Navigation and everything and modify the rule, but as the log on again, nothing chaged, I can just see the default desktop,
    but as I delete the new desktop created, there is a system error says that "you cann't log on successfully"  just because the desktop I created missing,
           I am confused with this, if the new desktop   works , why I cann't see the effecdt, but if it doesn't , why there is a system error,
    can you please give me hint  ?
    thank you very much

    Hi,
    I think it would be impossible for you to restore back the changes if you make everything invisible. So make sure you will be able to restore back the changes.
    The default framework page is cachable. Try to clear the cache using system administartion -->Navigation -->Navigation cache.
    If this didnt work try to restart the server.
    What is your requirement?

    You are talking about the forward, back, mail and trash can icons in the Notes App - correct?
    I've gone through restarting it and followed the instructions from the person last week.
    Have you restarted the iPad - is that what you mean? Have you quit and then restarted the app? Quit the app, and restart the iPad. It's worth a try.
    Double tap the home button and your recent apps will appear at the bottom. Hold down on the Notes app icon until it begins to wiggle. Then tap the minus sign to quit the app. Then tap the screen. Now restart the iPad.
    Carolyn explained this above (restart) but here it is again....
    Hold down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to shut off. Hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logos appears then let go of the button and the iPad will restart. See if that helps.

  • Why does Pages keep creating a new folder everytime I save?

    There must be some easy explanation for this but there's a weird quirk in Pages '09 that I don't know how to turn off.
    Every time I save a document, not only does it save, but it creates a new folder with some new files labeled buildVersionHistory.plist and index.xml and then a subfolder called Quicklook within which there's a thumbnail.jpg.
    No idea why it's doing this but it's really clogging up my folders and it seems totally unnecessary. Can anybody help me turn it off?

  • Why did my Macbook pro not come with a Lion CD or USB?

    I have a MacBook Pro 13" Early 2011 model with lion installed. The mac came with lion. But why did my mac not come with a CD or USB for lion?

    No Mac comes with a DVD or USB for Lion, everything is done online now.  For those who absolutely must have a USB you can buy Lion on a USB drive for $70 or thereabouts.

  • Opening multiple desktops - spaces?  How do I create a new desktop

    Can someone tell me how I create another desktop on my 27inch screen - I have been told it is known as a 'space' which seem to show up in mission control but where can I add another?  Hope this makes sense !   Thanks

    If you open Mission Control you'll see 2 sections.  The majority of the screen will show you the contents of your current Space and the top of the screen will show you the other Spaces running that you can switch to (by default you should see 2 Spaces - your Desktop and Dashboard).  To create a new Space, move your cursor to the top-right of your Mission Control screen and new Space will partially slide onto the screen.  Click it to add it and then you can either drag windows from the current Desktop Space to the new Space or switch to the new Space and open applications/windows there directly.
    So far I haven't worked out how to rename the new Spaces opened, if that is even possible.

  • Why can't I create a new version of a photo edited in an external application, without Aperture making a new copy of the newly created Tiff?

    When Aperture creates a new version from a RAW file, no new master file is created.  This makes total sense and I understand why.
    When I edit a photo in an external editor (Photoshop CS6) from within Aperture, Aperture creates a Tiff file to edit in Photoshop and saves it along with the RAW original once I have finished editing it in Photoshop.  I understand why this is necessary too.  So far so good.
    But if I then ask Aperture to create a new version from the newly created image edited via Photoshop, it creates another new Tiff.  I can't see why this is necessary.  Aperture should be able to apply further new Aperture edits to the newly created Tiff in the same way that it creates new versions from a RAW file without duplicating the master - by remembering any new 'recipe' changes applied to the Tiff.  It only needs to remember the edits made as the Tiff already now exists.
    Can I stop it creating repeat Tiff files each time I create a new version from the Photoshoped photos?
    Thanks in anticipation.

    Hello Kirby,
    I clicked on the 'Show in Finder' and it revealed a new file called IMG_0961 (1) which goes with the original IMG_0961.CR2 and the edited new tiff created for Photoshop which was called IMG_0961.tiff
    I noticed also that a separate version I had previously created using Canon's DPP stand alone software and titled by me IMG_0961 (DPP).TIF (same thing but from a different original) does not form a new master file when I create a new version of that one.  I've tried this with a few images but when the original is edited in Photoshop via Aperture a second version of the Tiff is created for the 1st version of the image when I create a new version fo it.

    No, it's not a bug; it's intentional. You can revert to the old behavior by installing the following add-on.
