Pet Peeve

Irene · 03-14-2013, 06:04 PM

Whenever I install an OS update, my desktop picture reverts to the original one that came with the computer. SInce I don't like it, I have to go to Preferences and select another one. Couldn't Apple manage to retain user preferences?

It retained both of mine just now when I upgraded to 10.8.3

Never happens to me either

It didn't use to happen to me, and doesn't on my MacBook Air. Googling indicates I am not alone, but the fixes are quite convoluted and not worth it, since I can easily change back. Perhaps the next OS update will cure it.
