I can't change the wallpaper on my mbp 13". Neither via "right click", nor via "preferences". When I try to change it all I get is the beachball and then it seems as "preferences" crashes. At least I get no response from it and have to "kill the programm". Does anybody have an idea why?
Thanks in advance! 🙂

Quit System Preferences if it's running. In the Finder, hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following item, if it exists:
Caches/com.apple.systempreferences
and move the following item to the Desktop:
Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
Launch System Preferences and test. If you still have the issue, put the item on the Desktop back where it came from and post again. Otherwise, delete the item.

Yay! It worked perfectly! I'm finally able to change my wallpaper again! 🙂
Thank you so much!
