How do I change these icons?

Finder and Dashboard... I understand the procedure to change the icon for most apps (open the "get info" window of the icon I want, copy the icon and then paste it to the "get info" window of the app I want to change)
But when I do this with the Dashboard icon and then drag it to the Dock, it reverts back to the original icon. What am I doing wrong?
And for the Finder, I can't seem to find where Finder lives on the HD (thus, I can't find the thing I'm supposed to "get info" on). Where is it?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

You want to be careful with it, anything that becomes part of the system the way this does has the potential to be dangerous. But I wouldn't have recommended it if I found it to be any problem, it's really been amazingly stable for what it is. Being up to date on the software is very important but they update very quickly and if you have a version that doesn't work with your version of OSX you'll get a warning immediately and will be asked if you want to download the right version, always do it.
The good thing is that when it's not open it's not doing anything and can't cause a problem, and you only need to open it when you make changes.
You get 25 changes for free, after that you can still keep it and everything you've already changed but can't do any more changes unless you pay for it, but it's pretty cheap. So if you want to maximize that open it and make sweeping changes everywhere, it all counts as one change. If you open it up and change one thing that also counts as one change. So with careful planning you can keep it to the 25 and use it for free.
Personally I bought it, I change things all the time, I don't always want an icon to last forever. I've changed the generic folder icon 5 times, but I might have a permanent one now.

How do I change the icon representing my bookmark? I don't want the one that comes up automatically.

I'm trying to change an icon on a bookmark. These are the instructions I received: 'Lets you replace a bookmark's icon / favicon. Right click any bookmark, select "Properties", then "Browse". '
But there is no "Browse" when you select "Properties". So what do I do?
When I go into the regular Google it has a 'Change Icon' tab in the 'Properties' tab. Why doesn't Mozilla?

You cannot directly. If you have a jFrame (e.g.) with your own icon you can use one of the JDialog costructors using (Component owner, ... ). Then the dialog will display the same icon.

3.
Identity Managemen t > Services > Authentication > Membership>DN to Start User Search
from dc=xxx to o=xxx,dc=xxx
and logout Identity Server
The three setting mistake make me can' t login Identity Server console
how can I change these setting from o=xxx,dc=xxx to dc=xxx by change XML
Tks

Hi
You could modify the necessary values in the LDAP directory that the identity server stis on top of. ie:
(using an ldap browser) go to the following location in the tree:
dc=xxx, ou=services, ou=iPlanetAMAuthLDAPService, ou=1.0, ou=OrganizationConfig, ou=default
There should be a "sunkeyvalue" attribute there with the following value:
iplanet-am-auth-ldap-base-dn=o=xxx,dc=xxx
change it to iplanet-am-auth-ldap-base-dn=dc=xxx
Then goto
dc=xxx, ou=services, ou=iPlanetAMAuthService, ou=1.0, ou=OrganizationConfig, ou=default
There should be a "sunkeyvalue" attribute there with the following value:
iplanet-am-auth-user-container=o=xxx,dc=xxx
change it to iplanet-am-auth-user-container=dc=xxx
Try to login using LDAP authentication (ie goto to the url "your webserver"/amserver/UI/Login?module=LDAP)
If that doesn't work, then you will probably have to edit the XML template for these services. This can be done as follows:
Goto dc=xxx, ou=services, ou=iPlanetAMAuthLDAPService, ou=1.0
There should be an attribute there called sunserviceschema, whose value is an xml document that specifies the service schema.
You will need to change the following element:
     <AttributeSchema cosQualifier="default" i18nKey="a103" name="iplanet-am-auth-ldap-base-dn" syntax="dn" type="list" >
          <DefaultValues>
<Value>o=xxx,dc=xxx</Value>
          </DefaultValues>
</AttributeSchema>
to
     <AttributeSchema cosQualifier="default" i18nKey="a103" name="iplanet-am-auth-ldap-base-dn" syntax="dn" type="list" >
          <DefaultValues>
<Value>dc=xxx</Value>
          </DefaultValues>
</AttributeSchema>
Then goto dc=xxx, ou=services, ou=iPlanetAMAuthService, ou=1.0
You will need to change the following element:
<AttributeSchema cosQualifier="default" i18nKey="a113" name="iplanet-am-auth-user-container" syntax="dn" type="single" >
          <DefaultValues>
<Value>o=xxx,dc=xxx</Value>
          </DefaultValues>
</AttributeSchema>
to:
<AttributeSchema cosQualifier="default" i18nKey="a113" name="iplanet-am-auth-user-container" syntax="dn" type="single" >
          <DefaultValues>
<Value>dc=xxx</Value>
          </DefaultValues>
</AttributeSchema>
After doing this, try to login using ldap authentication again.
Hope this helps

How Do You Change the Icons / Change Multiple Icons?

I've learned that to change most icons on the Mac is Getting the icon you want to change, and the icon you are changing it with. You select "Get Info" by holding "ctrl" and clicking on each icon. Then You click on the icon on the top left of the "Get Info" window. This highlights the icon, and now you can Copy it. Now you click on the icon in the other info window, and paste the icon on top of the former.
But
*How Do You Change Icons Such As the Garbage Icon?*
*Is There a Way to Change All Folder Icons At Once?*
i.e. To change the default blue folder icon, to another icon, and make it stick until that preference/setting is reset. And also have it set so the the new icon will appear when I "create a new folder."
Anything is very much appreciated.

HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE ICONS IN YOUR DOCK

I have went onto the apple site and downloaded fun icons to spice up my desktop and folders and I have been successfull in changing the folder icons but do not know how to change the icons in the dock.....can someone please help me out.....thanks in advance

here's how i do it... it may not be the most elegent way but it works.
1) download the icons you want to your desktop
2) right click on the one you want to use and select "copy"
3) go to the application (in your application folder, NOT the dock) and right click on the application, and select "get info"
4) a pop up window will open with all this stuff in it. left click on the top icon in the info pop-up window
5) go to the finder bar (the bar on the top of the desktop) and pull down Edit, then select Paste.
6) drag the old icon off the dock into the trashcan
7) drag the new icon from the application folder to the dock

How can I change the icon for incoming messages on iChat?

I already changed the icon for the ichat app, but whenever i get a new message it reverts back to the original icon with a number on the corner. I have an icon for the alternating messages i just don't know how to change it. HELP?!

Hi,
It's a long time since I changed an Icon on anything on my computer.
The icon for the App is stored in the App and there are two ways to change it.
You can do a Get Info (CMD and i Keys together) on the app itself and then Paste a new icon to the top field.
The other way is to edit/change the icns file in the App itself.
Right/Control Click the app and choose Show Package Contents.
Open the Contents folder then Resources and the iChat.icns file is in there
I am presuming that if you use the first method - the bit that puts the Red area with the number in it uses something else (possibly the icns file)
I cannot find any "supply" of the red numbers. In fact I use Chax (An iChat Add-On) that changes this to the first part of the first IM that is not read - which suggests the red area is the important bit.
If you do try to edit the .icns file I would save the Original first.
