My desktop and screensaver won't load!

Hello,


I have a MacBook Air and I'm unable to load images in my desktop and screen saver. The screen stays on "loading images" and the mouse turns to a colour wheel then stays like that.


I've tried rebooting it, and looking up other suggestions but nothing!



Please help!!!!

First follow the instructions in this support article.

If an iPhoto or Aperture library is the source of your desktop pictures, it may need to be rebuilt, or you may need to update the application to the latest version.

Otherwise, continue as below.

Back up all data.

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.
