>System Settings or Control click on the Desktop>Change Wallpaper


you do not say what you are looking for, or how far back...(?)


I see a bunch of old one here:

yes, I already found these picture and downloaded them, but how can i add these wallpaper to a custom folder (with all my personal wallpaper) that already exist? In simple term i need the "raw" file of these wallpaper, but I cannot find them in any folder.

thanks for the answer


? not clear as to why you would have to move to another folder... non-the-less you can look in your Finder



From your Finder>Go>Go to Folder copy and paste:

/System/Library/Desktop Pictures



note: the newer location included /System, there is no r/w access.


— you can add dynamic wall paper—drop your wall paper in this folder, from Finder>Go>Go To Folder , copy & paste:

/Library/Desktop Pictures
