Ijust bought and iMac and created different users for my daughters. We are all using the same apple ID but each one of them selected a picture for their background. After you restart the computer and try to log in to any of the users the desktop picture changes back to original. Very anoying, why is this happening?
Would appreciate any help on this.
Thanks
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

Thanks it worked. I did it on all 4 users and now the picture that I set remains there.
Just wondering. Do I have to do this every single time I change the background picture?
Thanks
You shouldn't have to.
My desktop picture changes by itself, why?
