Impossible to change the location of the screenshot

Hi all

I need assistance to change the default location for my screenshots. I tried all the advice I could find so far, the default terminal command 'defaults write com.apple.screencapture location' does not work.

I did the 'killall SystemUIServer' and also tried a manual reboot.

When I use the command 'defaults read com.apple.screencapture' it displays the right folder (i.e. ...Desktop/Screenhots), but when I take a screenshot it still saves on the Desktop and not in the folder.

I tried to restore the location to it's default value, I also tried to change the location using Onyx, I checked to see if the folder has the correct rights.

So anything else I can try other than a fresh install?

Kind regards,

Nick

See the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screencapture.plist file and open it, you see the change?

  • Please help; Impossible to change the position of my wallpaper!

    I know this isn't a big problem; but I would like it's working properly anyway.  I tried a new image for my wallpaper, and it showed as an image full screen.  I didn't like it then, immediately, I went back to the original image, and it was too full screen.  I went to the desktop background and the position is as I've had with a frame black (I also tried other colors) around the image, but it was not of themselves.  I tried all the different positions and nothing will change.  The image will change, but any image I try is full screen.

    Hello

    If the computers are configured for the domain, you must give his general network.

    What you describe sounds more like firewall blocking LAN communication and permission to share the configuration.

    Maybe this can help.

    Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

    Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  • Impossible to change the location of backup to external hard drive

    * Original title: backup location

    I need to change the location of backup on an external hard drive (I).  When I go into Control Panel, backup and support, it seems that the location is currently (D).  To change this, I select 'change settings '.  Then, the computer opens a new window for "Set up Backup" and begins to launch.  However, whenever I try to do the answer comes back that the computer is unable to start the program because of the error (0 x 80080005) of running the server.  I don't know what to do from here.  Can anyone offer any guidance?  Thank you.

    Hi Janis,

     
    The probable cause of this problem could arise from the security of the software interrupt services to change backup settings.
     
    I suggest you follow the methods below and check if it helps:
     
    Method 1: Temporarily disable the antivirus on the computer running software and check if you are able to change the backup location.
    Reference: turn off the antivirus software

    Warning: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    If Mode 1 has not resolved the issue try MOde 2 which follows below:

     
    Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot state, and then try to change the location of backup on your external hard drive again:

  • Impossible to change the network location of the public in the network and sharing Center.

    I'm unable to change the network location of the public to the private sector or at home. In network and sharing Center, he is listed as unidentified network, and under "Public network" is written in black and is not clickable.

    I have a connection high speed (USB connected) also listed above under "Home network", it is written in blue and is clickable.

    The affected connection is an XBOX 360 connected via a network cable. I wish to connect the XBOX to the Internet via ICS, but cannot do so until this connection is either private or at home.

    Things I've tried so far;

    Reinstall the drivers,

    disconnect and reconnect, turning on all the elements concerned.

    All ideas,

    Tourist shifty.

    Enable ICS on the connection Strip and not on the XBOX 360 connection.  When you do this, the connection of the XBOX 360 will still be confused with a public network, but everything should work. Boulder computer Maven

  • Impossible to change the profiles of my 2 children, there is no EDIT option

    Recently, I created 2 children profiles, it seems they have en default location, but we live in the Canada.  When you try to activate child accounts he immediately asks me to put my credit card information as well as the address is specified in the United States.  I want to change the location of my accounts of children, but I see no EDIT option for profiles on my administrator account, and when I try to log on to the account of children he sent me on my administrator account, bottom line is, I can't change the profile of my children.  Help, please!  I followed my parent account options, but so far, none of them show EDIT on child accounts.

    Still no answer...

    I suspect that the reason why you had no answer is that no one understands the problem, because there is not enough detail to explain it. You have posted in the forum for e-mail client software - Windows Live Mail - which your question seems not to have any connection. So, I guessed, that you need help with Windows Live Family Safety, if your question has been moved to a forum where these issues are now after a reorganization of the forum.

    It might be useful if you answer these questions:

    1. I created 2 profiles of children: where?
      In a program on your computer? If so, which? Please give full name, for example Windows Live Family Safety, family of Norton 360 V5
      In an applet of the Control Panel on your computer, such as user accounts?
      On a website? If so, which? Please copy the address in the address bar of your browser and paste it into your reply here.
    2. What operating system is installed on the computer? If you are unsure, press the Windows key + R, type winver , and then press enter. This will show you the version of Windows installed.

    If this is not sufficient to allow a person to answer your question, it should at least be possible to point you in the right direction.

    Hello!

  • Impossible to change the working directory

    I'm trying to change the working of a computer virtual directory so that snapshots are stored in a different data store.

    I used the following two articles for instruction:

    "Create snapshots in a different virtual directory default location"

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & docTypeID = DT_KB_1_1 & externalId = 1002929

    "Record or adding a virtual machine to inventory".

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1006160

    I recorded my VM.  I added the following line to my .vmx:

    workingDir = "/ vmfs/volumes/4cb6d8b0-45f1b122-3a3a-d48564535eca/vm-snapshots.

    This has been copied directly from management.  The only thing I changed was the part of the path that identifies my data store.

    Note: I also tried to use 'vmsnapshots' to ensure that the hyphen was not my problem, but I got the same error message.

    I recorded my VM.  I have no problem adding the .vmx inventory.  When I right click on my VM and go change the settings > Options, the workplace of VM looks OK.  4cb6d8b0-45f1b122-3a3a-d48564535eca translated correctly to the identifier for the data store (it looks like this: [DL360G7DS1] vm-snapshots /).  I turned on my virtual computer.  I get the following error message:

    "This virtual machine cannot be turned on because its working directory is invalid. Use the configuration editor to define a valid working directory and then try again. »

    I didn't know if the "vm-pictures" directory would be created automatically or if I have to create it, so I tried both ways.  There is no space in my path name or a folder.  I had not changed anything else in my .vmx and when I remove the line workingDir, VM powers on without problem.

    There is a good chance I'm missing something simple here.  The path seems to be accepted and pointing in the right direction.  I don't know what I have to do to "vm-shots" to make it valid.  The instructions didn't about the requirements for this directory.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  Please let me know if I does not provide enough information or if the rest of my .vmx file should be displayed.

    I would just put the hard in the home folder of the new virtual machine after I have it create?

    From what I understand so far, there is not enough free disk space on the data store "2MB" to host the virtual machine! If there is enough free space on the disk so you can just migrate the virtual machine in this data store using vCenter Server. If there is not enough disk space, you can create a new virtual machine on the data store "2MB" and leave the virtual disks on the data store '1 MB' for now. Just make sure that you document it (for example in the annotations of the virtual machine) If you don't accidentally delete the old folder with the the.vmdk file.
