I lose my desktop background every time I reboot my iMac. So, after every reboot, I have to go to System Preferences and reload the image I use for my background.
I use two displays (the iMac display and a second display). I wonder if that is tied to my problem.
Anyone know what I can do about this?
Thanks
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
Disconnect the 2nd display as a test.
Do a backup.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist and com.apple.finder.plist. Move the .plists to your desktop.
Restart and test. If it works okay, delete the plists from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plists to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
