N T R Photos PORTABLE Download Wallpaper

I have had some success getting the wallpaper to work.... I click on SHOW ALL then click the first photo then scroll down to the last photo and click it - then go back to the first photo and select auto rotate. This seems to get it to cycle through ALL of the photos in the album.... even albums with 1500 photos.
Clicking on "show all" for a specific album (all photos in my case), scrolling down to the last picture in that album, selecting the last picture, click the random checkbox, and finally setting how often you want it to cycle seems to work.
the reason for this issue is, the shuffle function can only show "downloaded" images. So if you click every image through the folder in the wallpaper tab the full size image are being downloaded and it can be used in the shuffle function. I think this cache is cleared after restarting your Mac and you have click on every image again.
sure. The images in the wallpaper menu are handled different than in Photos app. The best workaround for me so far is to export the complete folder which you want as a wallpaper and add it as a wallpaper source. that works for me.
Exactly the same here - new M2 Mini, running Ventura 13.4 - the wallpaper only rotates though a handful of images even though I have over 8000 in my Photos library. If I choose a photo at random as my wallpaper it works fine for that photo, but any attempt to get it to show more than a handful of different ones fails.
Yes, what I ended up doing was creating a folder called Wallpaper in my DropBox (you could also use iCloud), then subfolders in that which match the Albums in Photos that I wanted to use for wallpaper, and dragged the contents of each of the albums to one of those subfolders and set those up in the Wallpaper setting on each of my machines. Unfortunately I have to manually update those folders when I add new photos, but only once since they are synced. In other words, exactly what the Wallpaper setting SHOULD be doing.
Sonoma briefly made this worse, but I resolved it. What I like about Sonoma is that it now shows my photos the way I cropped them - Yay! But it only cycled through the same three photos - even though I have 200+ photos in the file. This is how I fixed it. Go to Apple / System Settings / Wallpaper, and scroll down to the folder of photos that you are going to use, and then click "show all." Click on each individual photo in the folder - for me, this was 200+ photos - and you'll notice them each appear filling your desktop. Then, click on the first (composite) image in the folder with the circular "shuffle" arrows. Now, go to the top of the Wallpaper window and decide on your preferred frequency of suffling and if you want it to be random. I think what this process did was "initialize" each photo into the lineup. That's it! Good luck!
Logging out then back in broke my solution for me with using a folder instead of a Photos Album, so that answered my question of whether it is a bug in Photos or a bug in the Wallpaper system -- it is obviously the latter. I tried the solution you proposed and it worked... for a while. But I have two monitors, each with six spaces, and sometimes the simple act of swiping back to a space will cause the wallpaper to revert to default, and then I have to go through the process again. And the albums/folders I'm using can have hundreds to thousands of photos, so I'm not going "initialize" each and every one of those, as it's just not practical when the system breaks as often as it does. I have not upgraded to Sonoma yet, but if the bug still exists there as you say, this is now three consecutive versions of Mac OS that have the bug. Unbelievably frustrating that Apple hasn't fixed it yet. I know we are probably edge cases and 95% of users don't even change the wallpaper from default, and don't have multiple monitors, and never use Spaces, but seriously if you are going to offer features with options like these you should make sure those options actually work consistently.
Sonoma Wallpaper problem. I still can't use my photos for Desktop wallpaper using my albums. I try and click an album but still shows a the Mac default winery picture....I have tried all suggestions to remedy this and no changes even after the new update. Logging out , doing SMC, disk utility, First Aid etc no changes.
I tried this option several years back when I was having similar problems, at least with the orientation of the photos. However I have determined that the rotation doe not use the entire 11,XXX plus photos, but instead a finite number of the folder. I also feel that the rotation starts at the same point and seems to go through the pictures more or less in the same order, if technically random.
I used to enjoy watching my photos rotate through everything until I got my 27" iMac (was that back in '20 or'21?) I've even been on the phone with "support" but after struggling with it for several months I gave up trying. The people I dealt with were supportive and somewhat helpful, but the overall responses were all the same. "The developers are aware of the problem and are working on it." I saw a thread that was started in June or July of this years and the poster was complaining about exactly the same issues I've been having for years.
in ios 16, branded live wallpapers and special ones for the iphone xs max model have completely disappeared, which is very sad, I hope that Apple developers will return live wallpapers from live photo and exclusive for that model live wallpapersand that I have already tried to put several live photos as wallpaper, but they are just like a static picture and more than one tip from apple care support did not help
Android had live wallpapers ages ago and apple is still unable to crack it. The long press in ios to animate wallpaper concept belongs to the stone age. Bored of seeing the same icons and theme in ios. I might as well switch to android as it offers loads of customization and the phone turns magical and lively. If I'm paying 1000 bucks, I want the phone screen to look how I want it not how apple wants it!
I have a photo set as my current iPhone wallpaper, which I would like to save. I have forgotten where I stored this file on my computer originally, so I can't easily go back to place it back on my phone. It has since been deleted from my camera roll.
You cannot export the wallpaper, depending on the pattern (if it were repetitive) it would be possible to take screen shots and after emailing these to your self you could edit in Photoshop (other editing software is available)
Looking in the /Users//Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backups folder is effective but very time consuming, especially if you have a lot of files/images in your backup (my phone a 16GB iPhone 5 that is pretty full had nearly 7000 files in there). However, the majority of them were not photos for me.
Put your phone to charge so it will take almost all the UI down for a sec and print the screen. This will get you the image with the battery UI only, then you print another picture from the lock screen after you scrolled everything up or down. compose on photoshop.
One way that may require the help of an octopus is to go to Wallpaper settings click on wallpaper preview that is not the lock screen and pinch the image so it shrinks in the screen - this will get the "Cancel/Set" buttons out of the image. If you let go of the pinch, it'll bounce back, so the trick is to pinch and screen grab at the same time. Then you can crop out the wallpaper setting details in newly captured image in Photos. I was able to do this with four fingers on two hands (no feet required :)) on an iPhone 4s, not sure how dexterous you need to be on an iPhone 6 or 6 plus.
With iOS 7 installed on my iPhone 5 and while viewing my lock screen I plugged a power cable into my phone. For a split second all the text overlays disappeared from my lock screen then a battery power status icon appeared. If you are quick you can take a screen grab of the clean wallpaper.
Important to note
Before doing this, go to Settings->Wallpaper and make sure "Perspective Zoom" is turned off. Otherwise when setting this newly captured image as a wallpaper it is automatically scaled up so you will lose some information around the edges.
Easy( if lock screen wallpaper) just go to settings wallpaper the selet the lock screen one and pinch the wallpaper with fingers and bring it in the middle may take a few tries and thats when you screenshot. Crop later.
Double click, remove all apps from recently used, take another screenshot, then edit the 2 photos together, and if done properly, you'll be able to salvage a new version of the background in it's entirety.
Always upload your pictures to Google Photos. I found my wallpaper photo from 5 years ago of my daughters by searching on my Google Photos list by my daughter's name. Google photos will index all your photos. Just assign a name to a person in one of your photos, and Google will find all matching photos and assign that name to them. Even group photos will be found under multiple names.
I just took screen shot (simultaneously press wake/on and home buttons) of wallpaper photo on old iphone 5. I will crop out the bottom homepage icons. Before taking screen shot, to get a clear wallpaper photo without icons, I moved all icons off the last page of homepage except one icon which I transferred to bottom icon bar. When I initially moved all the icons off last homepage, the last page disappeared so I moved last icon to bottom icon bar in order to get clear wallpaper photo for screen shot.
Just take a screenshot of all the default screenshot choices in settings where you change wallpapers. Then take the saved image and zoom up on the one you like and crop it. It's indistinguishable from the full-size image.
Our custom wallpaper is printed on 20 oz commercial grade vinyl with UV cured inks that are solvent free, washable and will not fade.
