Why does the wrong wallpaper show on restart?

Hello everyone,
This is more of a nuisance than a problem...
Upon restarting my 15" MacBook Pro with Retina display with OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), I've noticed that a wallpaper I selected previouly shows up. As soon as I open Desktop & Screen Saver Preferences, I see the corect Apple Desktop Picture highlight/selected, but the incorect one still shows on desktop. The incorrect one continues to show (even with selecting other choices) until I select the "Folders" tree, then it instantly shows the correct one.
I've tried select other wallpapers and restarting and still it goes back to the same previous one (even after several attempts and even deleting it completely from my Mac).
Is there a way to clear a wallpaper cache?

Hi,
your browser (most of our browsers) must be convinced first to show It! To show the icon,might be you have to do this too:
Clear ALL your caches!
Check with another browser, the new icon will be there.
Or/and:
- If set, delete the bookmark to the page or re-create the bookmark.
- Quit browser
- Empty the Temp Internet Files Internet Options
- Clear History
- Delete everything in general, where the browser remembers visited sites.
- Restart
- Clear Site visit
- Clear Bookmark again

P.S.
Upload the favicon.ico file to your server's root directory.
Insert this line of code between the <Head> </Head> tags on your home or index.html page, here you could use:
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> or
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> or
<link rel="icon" href="pictures/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> (I use it)
<link rel="icon" href="animated_favicon1.gif" type="image/gif">

Why does the iMessage never show what time it was sent

Why does the iMessage never show the time the iMessage was sent and also delivered or read

Matt,
You can't remove the time. However, if you make the column narrower, only the Date will show.

Using Windows 7 and LR 5, when I look at the Keyword List a certain keyword has 7 pictures but when I check the Library Filter with that keyword 350 pictures are shown which includes the 7 pictures that have the keyword. Why does the Library Filter showing pictures that do not match the query

Dan,
Here's what's going on in the catalog you sent me, "Joel & Caitlin's Wedding". There is the keyword "gwenn", which is explicitly assigned to 7 pics. But keyword "schwartz" has a number of synonyms, including "gwenn", and it is assigned to 25 pics. There is no overlap between the two sets of pics.
I discovered these two occurrences by doing Metadata > Export Keywords, opening the exported file in an editor, and then searching for "gwenn". I found two occurrences of "gwenn":
gwenn
schwartz
{gwenn}
From this, you can see that the keyword "schwartz" has 9 synonyms, of which "gwenn" is one.
The filter criterion "Keywords Contain gwenn" will match the 7 pics that are explicitly assigned the keyword "gwenn", and it will also match the 25 pics assigned the keyword "schwartz", because that keyword has a synonym "gwenn".
This illustrates the behavior I mentioned above: The criterion "Keywords contains x" will match against any of a pic's assigned keywords, any of those keywords' ancestor keywords, and any of the synonyms of the assigned keywords and their ancestors.
So LR is operating correctly here, if not in a way that's easy to understand.
It appears that you are using the synonyms of "schwartz" to represent individual members of the Schwartz family. A better way of representing family relationships is to have a parent keyword "Schwartz", with subkeywords for each family member, e.g. "Gwenn Schwartz", "Joe Schwartz", "Jane Schwartz", etc. Repeating the family name in the subkeywords has a couple of advantages. LR usually only displays the "leaf" name of a keyword, so instead of showing you just "Joe", it will show you "Joe Schwartz", helpful when there are a number of different people whose first name is "Joe". Also, if you ever export your pics to other software, it may not understand the LR hierarchy and won't show the parent keywords, so again it's more informative to see a keyword named "Joe Schwartz" rather than "Joe".

Why does the wrong apple id come up on my iphone when i try to use apple app store? How do I change it to the correct apple id?

Settings > iTunes and App Store > Apple ID = Sign Out... Then Sign In using the preferred Apple ID.
It should be Noted that anything Downloaded with a Particular Apple ID is tied to that Apple ID and Cannot be Merged or Transferred to a Different Apple ID

Why does the iTunes not show "Photos"

Why does the new iTunes not show "Photos" after it is synced, and why does iCloud not show Photos also?

Ralph9430 offers a good suggestion. But you may need to do this before taking his advice:
Check in iPhoto's Preferences (which you can open from the iPhoto menu). Look in General, and make sure "Connecting Camera Opens" is set to "Image Capture").
If it is set to "iPhoto", you won't be able to get to Image Capture easily.

Why does the itunes store show the apps I have downloaded Free or the price instead of "downloaded"?

I have encountered this problem since Christmas. When I open the itunes and want to search the apps I have downloaded, and it keeps showing these apps free or with a price instead of downloaded. However, I have not encountered this problem in my iphone. This problem makes me confused that whether I have downloaded the app if I do not check the "Purchased".
Like the following one, even though I have downloaded the app, it shows the price to me instead of "downloaded".
p.s I have logined in to my acct.

I hadn't used visited the iTunes store looking for books for many months. When I went this afternoon I found it stupid, offensive and frustrating how hard it is to find books instead of audiobooks. What am I doing wrong? The main menu in the store doesn't even list books anymore. Just audiobooks. The only way I could get a link to a book download was by searching for the author. That then gave me a choice of book or audiobooks.
I see plenty of books (in the U.S. store).
iTunes store content varies by country.

Why does the form link show up in 2 pages, but when I save the form as PDF it comes up as 3 pages?

A few weeks ago, I asked the above question on why the form link shows up in 2 pages, but when the form is saved as PDF it comes up as 3 pages.
The answer I received was that I can simply select the page break and hit "delete" button or click on the trash can icon at the top right corner.
I tried to do this but, there is NO OPTION to select the page break and hit delete….
I want to combine the page on my PDF because the header takes up one entire page.
How can I do this? Can someone please help or walk me through this live?

Wenlam,

Please see.

HT4306 Why does the ping icon show next to some songs that I purchase and prevent me from burning onto a CD for my own personal use?

Hi. I am having trouble burning songs that I have purchased from the itunes store onto a CD for my own personal use in my car. Why is the ping icon next to some of the songs I purchase,When I try to burn these songs I am told by a pop up that these songs can't be found, but they are in my itunes music list.I don't understand. Please advise me asap. hx Wendy159

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

Why does the letter P show up when i try to record audio into Logic Pro and no audio is audible ?!

Can anyone pleaes help as I have occured this problem today and sent hours trying to fix it and not had any luck !?!?
I always record in audio by press "R" on the channel strip but today for some odd reason the letter "P" shows up and no audio is audiable ?
Can anyone tell me what's going on ............!?!?
"When I try to record in some audio and press "R" it chnages to the letter "P" and no audio is coming through ?!?"

This is because you have Punch on the fly enabled under Options (top menu)>Audio>Punch on the Fly.... signified by the letter P instead of the letter R

Not necessarily something you are doing wrong ...
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab.
If there are any installed, turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If it's not an extension issue, back to the menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari
Select the top 6 boxes then click Reset.
Quit and relaunch Safari.
If that didn't help, press Command + Option + E on your keyboard to empty the Safari cache and try that link again.
If that didn't help, try a different DNS.
Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > DNS
Click + and type in these numbers:
208.67.222.222
Click + again and do the same.
208.67.220.220
Click Ok.
Try Safari.

I am trying to put a caption on a photo. Why does the caption not show in the photo?

In iPhoto, I would like to insert a CAPTION in the photo. When i enter my caption, it shows on the screen on top, but does not show in my slide show pictures.
Can you help?

Adding a caption will add metadata tags to the photo, but not write the text as a graphics annotation overlay to the picture. The slideshow themes do not include the metadata tags. If you want to present the photos with captions, swipe them nanually and not as a slideshow.
You would need to find a different app to add graphic overlays to the photos for text written onto the photo.

Why does the internal memory shows red?

When I connect my iPhone to my computer and I go into the phone itself, the internal memoy bar is in red and shows that I have a little over 1 gig of memory left. Why is it in red? Hasn't been that way except for the last week?

Open iTunes and figure out what is taking up space on the device.
The only reason that one would have for accessing the device via "My Computer" would be to copy pictures taken with the device to the computer.

Why does the speedtest not show the all Speeds?

I keep being told that I am getting 8MPS downstream when I am not. It is always under 2 MPS. I have tested every socket with a wired connection to the Hub. Always the same result. Why doesn't the test show the speed from the Server to the Exchange, and the Exchange to the Hub as separate calculations? - and for normal traffic, not a magic ping that might bypass any throttling or capping. How can I lose 6MPS between my Hub and my PC? I simply don't believe the downstream stats are true, or are truly indicative of the bandwidth delivered to the hub.
