Why is my system services crashing every time I want to change my desktop background??

I want to change my desktop background and every time I try my system services crashs. I tryed to changed it for 5 times and did't work, I restarted and shut down my computer and nothing happens. Please if someone knows about it let me know, I am a brain new apple's user and I dont know what its going on.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Try deleting the Desktop settings file. Open a Finder window, select the Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type:
~/Library/Preferences
Then, delete "com.apple.desktop.plist" and "com.apple.systempreferences.plist", and restart. Finally, open System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver, and change the desktop wallpaper

    Restart your Mac, open System Preferences, try again.

  • Why does Final cut x crash every time I try to edit or delete a title!!

    When I add a title I cant edit or even delete it without FCPX crashing every time. Pretty frustrating..

    Hi,
    Same problem. Very annoying. I have made a personnalized title using Motion. And everytime I use it in FCPX, it crashes. The worst of all : I am unable to open the current project. I have found that if I removed the preset made with Motion, the FCPX would open, but a missing title alert. S the only way is to place the title again. And after a few atempts, FCPX crashes again. And so on…
    So sorry, no real solutions, but at least I don't feel alone.

  • Lightroom crashes every time I try to change the font color of my identity plate

    I use the LRB portfolio plugin to create my website. Every time I try to change the color of my identity plate, lightroom crashes immediately. I can change the font and size without the problem, only a color change causes the crash. I tried to trash the plugin, but it still behaved the same way. Can anyone help me with this problem?

    Hi Sean,
    thanks for answering. No, it crashes anyway. I tried changing the identity plate color in all different modules. I was able to change it once when I had just bought a new computer and installed Lightroom, but now I can't. I wonder if there are any cache files or anything causing this. Unfortunately I don't know enough about this to fix it myself. I wondered whether LRB is causing a problem simply by having it installed, but as I said, after I removed it from the Web Galleries folder, the problem still occurred. Is there any way to recreate the identity plate in Photoshop (same font and size etc.) and reimport it into Lightroom? I need to finish my website and my name is sol light, it is barely legible. Any fix or workaround would be appreciated.

  • Illustrator CS5 crashes every time the destination is changed during save & save as

    I have a new Macbook Pro Retina with OS X Yosemite, version 10.10.1.
    Every time I try to change the destination folder for a file during "Save" or "Save As" in Illustrator CS5 the program crashes & I get an extensive error message. I have tried uninstalling & reinstalling Illustrator 3 times but the issue persists. I have tried installing it both with the original Creative Suite disk I purchased in 2010 and with the download from Adobe's website, and neither made a difference. I have not experienced any problems with the Photoshop or InDesign programs from the same Creative Suite package.
    Please advise on how to fix this issue.

  • Why do I have to restore every time I want to sync?

    Apple,
    I am SO frustrated.  This has been going on for YEARS at this point.  Every single time I download a new album of music and want to sync it to my iphone, it simply does not work.  It says the sync is complete, it shows all the tracks with a grey dotted circle next to them, and they NEVER sync to my phone.
    There is plenty of space on the phone.
    The only way I can get it to work is to completely restore my iPhone to NEW every time I want to sync a new album which is absolutely ridiculous.  Please help.
    Cheers,
    Kyle

    Firefox isnt even available for the iOS platform, so this question is not related to Firefox.

  • Why does the App Store crash every time I search for something on my iPod?

    Every time I open the App Store on my iPod touch and search for something, it crashes. I tried resetting my iPod, but the App Store still crashes. I used to love my iPod and was very happy to have supported Apple, but it just makes me angry more than anything now. Also, in the Tree World app, my hippo was deleted. I was moving my critters around on their branches when all of a sudden my hippo was carried off the screen never to be seen again. I can't buy it from the market. I am VERY upset over this.

    I have the same bug cuz of the new App Store application ,,, almost the next update they ll fix it ,,
    But really it isn't a big problem ,,, after AppStore crash open it again ,,, & install what u want ,,,
    That's all

  • Why does Firefox 29.x crashes every time I click a download file link?

    Immediately after automatically updated to Firefox 29.0 every single time I click a link to download any file, Firefox crashes. It also crashes when using cPanel (cPanel sometimes opens windows in a frame, or at least that's how in appears). Please see the most recent crash report below:

    I tried the following, which did not help:
    * Reset the profile
    * Turn off hardware acceleration
    * Remove and download list (downloads sqlite)
    I sure would appreciate any help.

  • System-wide crash every time I use GarageBand

    I just bought a new iMac and installed the most recent version of GarageBand. In the past week I've tried to record two podcasts; both times about halfway through my entire system went down. The keyboar and mouse became unresponsive and the only way I could recover was to hold the power button on the back of the iMac down until it shut down, and then restart.
    The first time it happened with the newest version of GB. The second time I decided to use the older version thinking the crash might have been a problem with the newer one, but my system crashed in the same way.
    Any ideas?

    I just bought a new iMac and installed the most recent version of GarageBand.
    Did you install any other software, that is not Apple software at all - helper applications, like additional menus, for example iStat menu, etc? if the mac is clean, without any third-party software, this should not happen. But if you downloaded third-party apps, they might be incompatible and cause problems.
    This is a brand new installation of Mavericks (new computer) and I'm not having any other problems, so I'm not sure if I can chalk it up to a system issue.
    GarageBand is more challenging for your system than other applications. It will use other frameworks and more memory than other apps. So it can have problems, where other applications are having none.
    To check, if some setting in your user account is problematic, log into the guest user account and start GarageBand as a different user. Can you record in GarageBand from that account?  You can enable the Guest User from the "System Preferences > Users&Groups" panel.
    If there are no crashes in a different account, post back. Then we need to find corrupted preference files or similar.
    If you are covered by warranty or Apple Care, I'd contact Apple and let them check the hardware.
    You could run an Apple Hardware test (or Apple Diagnostics) for yourself, see:  Using Apple Hardware Test

  • Why is ADE 3.0 crashing every time I try to authorize it on my Mac?

    I don't seem to recall having this problem previously. It seems to be a new issue.
    For what it's worth, I've authorized and deauthorized several times before, as I'm a librarian getting screenshots of the process for the handouts I create for our patrons. But suddenly, today, it just won't let me do it.

    Here's more information. It works like a charm in a different account on my laptop, but not in my main one. Some file or files must've gone bad in that account.
    Is there a way to just uninstall, and then start totally from scratch?
