Are there any free APPS that allow for chang/embellish  the folder icon

tired of blue folders.
there must be some kind of app that can change its appearance or change color or whatever.
can one change the text font of indiv folders?
wouldnt one expect this from OS X4.6
im shocked it has to be the same old blue folder

Hi, Glenn.
You can assign any icon you want to a file or folder: see "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Changing the icon of a file or folder.”.
You can find nice sets of icons (what you need for step 1) at sites like Icon Factory or ResExcellence.
Some folks really like the inexpensive shareware application FolderBrander for customizing folders. There's a free trial period and it seems very reasonably priced for what it does.
The freeware application TinkerTool will allow you to change some of the default fonts used in Tiger.
When looking for new applications, I recommend searching MacUpdate or Version Tracker. The user-submitted reviews accompanying the listings can be helpful in sorting the wheat from the chaff.
Good luck!

  • Are there any free apps that lets you edit/draw on PDFs on iPads?

    I  can't seem to be able to edit PDFs on adobe reader, are there any other ones apart from iannonotate?

    I merely Googled this and came up with these two apps.
    pdf-notes free for iPad
    DocAS Lite
    They are free because you will probably get ads while you use them - the cost of downloading a free app sometimes - and they do not have the full functionality of the paid versions - from what I know about free apps of this type (productivity apps).

  • Are there any free apps to download to change PDF adobe acrobat to text that I can change

    I am looking for a small Dell black and white, laser printer like the Energy Star 1133 that is compatible with my macbook, 10.6.8.  I would like to buy a new computer in the near future so would need it to be work on my next computer also.  Any suggestions?

    Not freebies. But some inexpensive ones at the App Store. I have had good results with PDF Converter OCR.

  • Are there any free apps with the same app iPhoto?

    Are there any free apps with the same app iPhoto?

    Do you want to get iPhoto for free, or are you looking for supplemental apps that are working well with iPhoto?
    I do not know of any free third party replacement for iPhoto. For add-ons browse the Store - there are some nice camera apps, image editors,  and panorama stitchers, some are free (cam wow, pic collage, Photo splash, pixlr-o-matic).

  • Any SYNC APPs that allow for specific file synchronization for the MacBook Pro??? Please advise..

    Any recommendations for a sync app that allows for specific file synchronization rather than just a complete back-up program?  I want to be able to synchronize certain files only on multiple external hard-drives?
    FYI:[[Using a 15" MacBook Pro on Mac OSX Version 10.6.7, Processor 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory 4GB RAM 1067MHz DDR3]]

    I'm pretty sure you should keep Boot Camp 2.1, Scorpio.
    I'm not sure about the driver only or complete reinstall question though.
    Probably the best place for an answer to this would be over in the BootCamp "Installation and Storage" forum at http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=237 where the "specialists" in this sort of matter hang out.
    Post a link to this thread over there as well, so that people will know what has already been suggested.
    Cheers

  • I am being stalked by an ex boyfriend who either calls from a blocked number or a prepaid calling card.  Is there any free app that I can download to block a "blocked" number and/or the prepaid calling card numbers?

    I am being stalked by an ex-boyfriend who either calls from a blocked number or a prepaid calling card.  Is there any free app for my Iphone 4S that I can download that will block a "blocked" number and/or numbers from prepaid calling cards besides paying for smart limits?

    ... he has already threatened to kill me
    You need to keep reporting the continued harassment to the police and the court that issued the restraining order. The only technology certain to protect you from such lowlifes is carried in a holster.

  • Are there any free down loads available for snow leopard os x10.5.8?

    ARE THERE ANY FREE DOWNLOADS FOR APPLE SNOW LEOPARD OS X 10.5.8?

    If you're trying to upgrade the OS, no; you need to buy 10.6 on DVD from the online Apple Store.
    If you're trying to download something else, it depends on the product.

  • When will a free app that allows for me to read on my mac like on my iPad be available?

    I recently bought a 13 inch macbook air, and I was thrilled. Now, I have to read the Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for school. I got the book on my iPad for free on my iBooks app, but when I realized that my dad would need my iPad for work more often, I went onto the app store for my macbook and I was very surprised to find that there wasn't an iBooks for mac. I was fully aware of the fact when I bought my macbook that there wouldn't be any "decent games" on the app store for the mac, but I never imagined that there wouldn't be an iBooks! Does anyone know a FREE app that can take the place of iBooks on the app store for macbooks?

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    There are many folks who feel as you do, wondering why Apple doesn't have an equivalent to iBooks for the Mac. Many other eBook formats; Nook, Kindle, Kobo, Zinio, etc have reader apps to read the books on both Macs and iOS devices.
    This will help with this one problem, here is a link to another free electronic version of your book that comes in formats that can be read on your Mac;
    http://www.free-ebooks.net/ebook/The-Strange-Case-of-Dr-Jekyll-and-Mr-Hyde
    You may have to open a free membership with free-ebooks.net to download your preferred format. I would go for the pdf, which you can read on your Mac, but also in an app on your iOS devices as well.

  • Are there any iPhone headsets that allow volume control?

    The new Apple In-Ear headphones are shipping at last, and I am considering buying some. I am currently looking to upgrade to some high-quality headphones from my standard iPhone buds, but I would like to have a working microphone and remote like those Apple buds have for my convenience. Are there any such headsets with working volume controls as well? Does the iPhone's audio jack lack a connector for this additional piece of equipment, as some folks are suggesting? A lot of people have been saying that the remote and microphone portion of the new In-Ear headset will work with the iPhone, but the volume buttons do not. I've seen mixed reports, so I'd like to hear some more opinions on this matter.
    If volume control is not possible, I will still look into upgrading. So far, I'm considering the In-Ear phones, the V-MODA Vibe Duo headset. Any other thoughts or recommendations are appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    I bought a set of the Vmoda Vibe with the microphone. They sound great !! the silicone seals are just your average seals. After a couple of months the seals would sometimes stay in my ear when I pulled the earpiece out. A couple of months ago i bought some foam seals that work absolutely great. They are available on the Vmoda website. Kinda pricey..$14 ish for three pair. they only come in gray and accumulate dirt faster than the silicone seals but, they stay in your ear. Last week, as i wrapped the cord, i noticed it was broken at the pin plug site where it's curved (bends). This ***** as now when talking on the phone with the earbuds everything echos. My audio and the other persons audio also. Of course Apple won't exchange them since I purchased them more than two weeks ago. (A year hasn't expired yet) I'm going to send them to Vmoda and see what happens. I purchased the new Itouch earbuds. they are Apple white. I wished they came in black but, they are AWESOME !! The sound is incredible. The silicone seals work great so far. They look to be shaped differently so now they stay in your ear..so far...I purchased them for my iphone. The microphone/hold button work fine with no echo on either side. They have a volume level control but it does not work on the iphone. Bummer...This feature would have made them the ultimate Iphone earbuds. The volume does work on my ipod. Go figure. Overall, the new Apple In-ear headsets are great, They must have a tweeter and woofer in there cuz the sound is fantastic and the silicone seals actually stay in place.

  • Are there any game apps that doesn't need wifi

    I just got my kids the iPod touch and some places don't have wifi that we can connect to. Are there some games that don't need wifi?

    Hello,
    Take a look at the appstore, most games do not require wifi to play, although you do need wifi to download the game initially. Try searching for the type of game your looking for. Or go to the catagories section and brows them there. Unless the description says that it is an online or multiplayer only game then it is most likely to be compatable offline.
    Go ahead and take a look. Have fun shopping around!
    Sincerely,
    ~Lt. Leviathan

  • Are there any free sites that will give you credit scores?

    I just realized that Credit Karma uses Vantage scores and not FICO. Although CK is good for credit reports, the credit score from Vantage isn't what I need. I need FICO. I currently have subscription to my FICO credit scores, but I need to know my fiance's scores. :/

  • Are there any childrens tablets that can run itunes, specificlly the apps?

    I am wondering if there are any children's tablets that can run apps in the itunes store. Like leapfrog, fuhu, vtech, etc.

    No. The only devices that can run apps from the iTunes Store are the iPad, iPod touch and iPhone.
    Regards.

  • Are there any free WiFi scanning tools for iPad?

    such as inSSIDer available.
    Thanks

    The short answer is, No.  iTunes had some Wi-Fi sniffers, but banned them and pulled them from the store before the iPad was released about four years ago.  It's a shame really.
    I use something simular to inSSIDer on a HP touch pad running Ice Cream Sandwich, very handy.  The network tool I use most on iOS is Scanny, which is just a port scanner, great for checking my server for leaks.

    Is there any free app available for iPad 2 so can do the work in MSWord, Excel, PowerPoint.

    I'm not aware of free apps that will let you work with Word, Excel, etc.  There are however, paid apps, such as Pages and Numbers you can buy that will work for you.
