Why do I have a home screen image that I did not choose?

I just turned on my iMac (24-inch, Early 2009) and a new desktop image appeared.  I did not choose that image.  I did not do an update recently? 
Would someone float some ideas about this? 

It may be because your desktop image was in iPhoto and can no longer be accessed after a conversion to Photos -- although that shouldn't be the case unless you deleted your iPhoto Library. At any rate you may be able to go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > Desktop & Screensaver and find the original and set it back to that.

  • HT4915 songs have downloaded into my iCloud that I did not want there. How do I delete them from the cloud but keep them in my library?

    I recently downloaded the iCloud/iTunes Match.. both of which I still have no idea how to use.. my songs began automatically downloading somewhere on my iPhone.. there are alot of songs in my iTunes Library on my MacBook.. and I didnt want all of them to get downloaded to my iCloud/iPhone..how do I start over and choose what gets downloaded? Also, I have purchased several songs from iTunes Store that did not get downloaded to my purchased list.. for example: I purchased 2 Katy Perry Songs, only one was uploaded to my phone..why and how do i fix it? I've never owned an iPhone and I fear my phone is smarter than me.. Help.. How does all this stuff work?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    When you subscribe to iTunes match, you cannot selectively choose tunes to add to it, it's either or nothing. When you then enable iTunes match on your iPhone, none of the tunes are downloaded to your phone, you simply get a list of everything that is available in your iTunes library and the ability to download them as and when you want.

  • Why is Apple putting music on my iPhone that I did not ask for and do not want ?

    I have a Mac Pro and an iPod Classic that I use for my music.
    I noticed today that some of my purchased music was on my iPhone iTunes app. I did not ask for these to be installed.
    Also, I noticed that when I tap on a song, sometimes it plays, sometimes nothing happens.

    Do you mean this
    No.
    These are thousands of songs that I purchased using my Mac Pro.  I sync my iPod Classic with a USB cable to move the songs to the iPod.
    Now, my purchased songs (not the ones imported into my Mac Pro using a CD), are in my iPhone.   I do not use the cloud.  I have been very careful not to sign up for anything related to the cloud.
    I'm trying to figure out why Apple is forcing this on me.

  • HT4972 I have music on my itouch that I did not purchase from itunes, but downloaded from CD's that I owned. If I upgrade my iOS and sync my device, will it remove that music, requiring me to reload it back onto the device?

    I've found that certain apps that I desire require a certain iOS level, so to speak. However, I have been hesitant to sync my itouch (3rd generation) to itunes to upgrade, mainly because it warns me that my media will be removed. Most of the music on my device has come from CDs which I have downloaded onto my itouch and not from itunes, so the music is not on my itunes itself. Since I do not fully comprehend what "syncing" my itouch to my computer will do, I would like to be certain that if I do sync my device all media will be removed. If this is the case, then I must persue ways to back that music up before I proceed with the syncing. If you could let me know as much information about this as possible, I would be truly grateful. Thank you.

    You will probably lose the music.
    Why is it not on your computer?
    Have you failed to maintain a backup copy?

  • When I have finished working on an image in Photoshop and I hit the save button it goes instead to the "save as" screen. This never happened in previous Photoshop versions. When I get to Lightroom, I have a grey screen the says "File could not be found."

    When I have finished working on an image in Photoshop and I hit the "save" button, it goes instead to the "save as" screen. This never happened in previous Photoshop versions. When I get to Lightroom, I have a grey screen the says "File could not be found." I then have to go to "locate" to get the image. When I select the correct image, I get a message that it is not the same file name but I am eventually able to access the image. Needless to say this is having a negative impact on workflow!

    The problem with write permissions for the OneDrive folder only shows up in Lightroom 6's export dialogue, that's why it's to irritating. Lightroom 5.7.1 is not having that problem nor does the file explorer. The problem also exists on both of my machines. I will try to check for other problems with the OneDrive troubleshooter though: Running the OneDrive troubleshooter - Windows Help   

  • New home screen image... Can I get the old one back?

    I updated to iOS 4 today, as most others have done, and I noticed there was something different about it that I didn't like. After a few seconds I realized the wallpaper was changed! Instead of the silver dock bar at the bottom, the most used apps are sitting on a little piece of glass or something...?? ***? I mean it's not a HUGE deal, but having something I'm going to have to constantly look at without even letting me know, and having me be unable to change it... that's just rude! If there was a way I could get the old home screen image back I'd REALLY appreciate it.

    hmm...

  • The iPhone update 8.3 (12F70) is making my home screen wallpapers darker than the picture itself. Even if I set the same picture as home and lock screen wallpaper, the home screen image is noticeably darker. How can I change this?

    Is anyone else noticing the same issue?
    I'm really unhappy with the upgrade, the darker home screen images alters the coloring and detracts from the overall "light" feeling.

    Apparently it's been an issue since 7.1, according to this: http://forums.imore.com/ask-question/282076-black-tint-across-top-my-lock-screen -wallpaper.html
    The iPhone 6 is my first iPhone so I've never used iOS 7 before. Can anybody who has provide more info on this?

  • On shared home network computer, why do I have TWO home folders?

    When I connect to my G5 (from my Intel iMac) on my wireless network the first window that comes up contains folders for the G5, public folders for each one in the family, and my home folder (accessible) on the G5 (which contains folders for my Desktop, Documents, etc.),
    When I click on the G5 folder and go to Users, I see what I'm assuming is a duplicate of my home folder, but it has a red circle with a minus sign and I am unable to access it (even when tI try to change permissions via the Get Info window).
    My question is why do I have duplicate home folders and should my accessible home folder be INSIDE the Users folder? What do I do about the home folder whose permissions I can't seem to alter?

    Don't know, but you might get an answer posting to the Getting Online and Networking forum.
