Yes Finder indeed. Necessarily getting used to a Samsung note.
Will try that when I get home again.
Thanks again for guidance.
Pete.

</div>Hi Peter,
Do you mean your Finder View?
Click on your Home icon (House named Peter or Pete) in the Dock - Open in
Finder.
Then in the Finder window - go to View > As Columns
You will then see your 'House' Peter in the left hand column and all the
folders in the column to the right - such as Desktop / Documents/ Movies /
Photos etc.
Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Ronni, yes only just a couple of hours ago I did this can you believe.
In my finger view I did have trouble finding the [user] folder. I think my
finger view is wrong. Anyway I was able to get to the user folder to create the
My Pictures folder by double clicking within the left panel of the Desktop and
Screen saver panel.
Thanks again for help with this.
Pete.

Hi Peter,
Is this solved now?
I'm trying to clear out a backlog of WAMUG emails I've replied to but have not
received an update on the result.
Cheers,

Oops, yes you're right, sorry. I got up at midnight last night to head off to
my work thinking it was 0530! I think I need a software update.
I hope to revert with successful response sometime soon :)

Hi Peter,
I thought my original instructions were easy to follow.
Because you have the photo/s you want to use as your desktop image in an iPhoto
library on an external drive... You need to create a new Folder, name it My
Desktop Images and place the images you want to use as your Desktop in that
folder... and place the folder in your Home > Pictures Folder on your Mac.
Then follow my instructions below.
Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Ronni, whilst I'm a bit delayed in responding, finally had a chance to look
at his tonight. Within the 'Pictures' folder I don't have a sub-folder called
My Desktop Images. All I have is 'Apple TV photo cache' and iChat icons as
folders.
Maybe there is a folder elsewhere?
Regards
Pete

Hi Peter,
If your wallpaper changes back to default after reboot or after logout it is
because the wallpaper you set is on another drive and this drive loads after
your settings are loaded.
Lion / Mountain Lion/ Mavericks does not save your wallpaper on the native HDD,
rather tries to load the wallpaper from the original HDD, only the path to the
wallpaper is saved in the OS X settings.
When your OS X boots up it does not find the path to your wallpaper since the
HDD you've saved your wallpapers in has not mounted yet.
One basic solution for this is to save your wallpapers in the HDD where you've
installed the Mac OS X
1. Create a new folder, called My Desktop Images within the~/[Your user
name]/Pictures folder.
2. Open a new Finder window and navigate to ~/[Your user name]/Pictures/My
Desktop Images
3. Navigate to > System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver and ensure that
the Desktop button is selected.
4. With Finder open, drag the My Desktop Images folder to the Desktop & Screen
saver system preferences pane. When you see a white plus symbol inside a green
circle, release the mouse and the folder will be added.
Cheers,
Ronni

Hi there, I have a recurring minor thing occurring with my new 2014 13" Retina
MBP. I use an external drive to hold my iPhoto library and I usually select a
photo from the iPhoto library as a desktop picture.
Whenever I next reboot the MBP, the desktop image reverts to the default
Mavericks Wave picture. It's a nice picture, but I want MY picture. I keep the
external drive attached even during reboot but the order of activities during
boot up may not see it until after it has set the screen picture. I'd have
thought that OSX would 'localise' the image selected in a C:/ folder separated
from the iPhoto library at the point when the image is selected as the desktop
image and it would be there for use at all times.
Any clues how I can intervene on this default picture?
Regards
Pete
