Can i change the transparency of folder icons on ipad air

It seems that the boxes (folders) that hold multiple apps take on the color of the wallpaper that is behind it. In some cases it makes the folder hard to see. Is there a way that I can set a background color of my choosing instead of the "transparent" used in the default setup?

Hey Fred_M,
Thanks for the question. You can increase the contrast system wide for transparency (including folders, control center, and notification center):
Increase the contrast of text where possible. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility and turn on Increase Contrast.

HT204053 How can I change the iCloud id associated with my iPad?

How can I change the iCloud ID associated with my iPad?

To change the ID for:
iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID sign out, sign back in using the other ID.
FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
iTunes, do this in Settings>iTunes & App Store.
iCloud, start by saving your photo stream photos to your camera roll by opening your My Photo Stream album, tap Select, tap all the photos you want to save, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted, then sign back in with the ID you want to use. This will delete the account and iCloud data from your phone but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a new account, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in. However, if you are setting up a new account with a new ID, when you delete the account be sure to choose Keep on My iPad, then choose Merge when you sign into the new account to upload your data.

How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the full screen?

How can I change the display of Inbox in my iPad's mail app- so that it takes up the whole screen, as opposed to just about one third; the other two thirds display the full text of the selected email?

You can't change the display in the Mail app, if you are holding the iPad in landscape orientation then the left-hand third will be for navigation, and the right-hand two-thirds will be an email. If you hold the iPad in portrait orientation then the navigation section becomes a drop-down section.

How can I change the ICloud/ID Apple on my Ipad/IPhone?

I've changed my Apple ID and I've changed the ID of Itunes on my IPad/IPhone.
Now I want to change the IPad/IPhone ID on ICloud, but my IPad keep and store on my previous ID. How can I change the ICloud ID Apple on my Ipad/IPhone?

Welcome to the Apple community.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

How can I change the Jframe Java help Icon

How can I change then Jframe Java help Icon?.
I am using then HelpSet class and HelpBroker.
I want to change the java help icon
Any Idea? thanks. ...

It can be done, but it's ugly...
Add in a listener to your topmost JFrame to sense when the focus is lost, since this happens when a help window comes up. When the focus leaves the main window, check all the windows that are up to see if one is a help window. If so, this will give you a reference to the help window and you can drill down to change what you want.
Here's an example that changes the icon and removes the borders from the javahelp buttons.
WindowListener wndCloser = new WindowAdapter() {
          //A necessarily roundabout method to affect
          //look and feel aspects of the javahelp viewer.
          //(there is no way to get at these components directly.)
          //When the main frame loses focus, it may be because
          //the help viewer was brought up. Look through all
          //the current frames to see if one is a help viewer.
          //If it is, change the look of the help viewer
          //to what we want.
          Frame m_helpFrame = null;
          public void windowDeactivated(WindowEvent e) {
          if (m_helpFrame != null)
               return;
          Frame[] frames = getFrames();
          for (int k = 0; k < frames.length; k++) {
               if (!(frames[k] instanceof JFrame))
               continue;
               JFrame jf = (JFrame)frames[k];
               if (jf.getContentPane().getComponentCount()==0)
               continue;
               Component c = jf.getContentPane().
               getComponent(0);
               if (c == null || !(c instanceof JHelp))
               continue;
               m_helpFrame = jf;
               //now that we know the Frame, we can change the title icon
               final Image image2 = <your icon here>
               m_helpFrame.setIconImage(image2);
               JHelp jh = (JHelp)c;
               for (int s=0; s<jh.getComponentCount(); s++) {
               c = jh.getComponent(s);
               if (c == null || !(c instanceof JToolBar))
                    continue;
               JToolBar jtb = (JToolBar)c;
               //now that we've accessed the toolbar, we can
               //modify the look of the buttons.
               for(int i=0; i<jtb.getComponentCount(); i++) {
                    Component comp = jtb.getComponentAtIndex(i);
                    if(comp instanceof JButton) {
                    JButton button = (JButton)comp;
                    button.setBorder(null);

Changing the application and folder icons

Hello,
I am trying to follow the Mac 101 to change my folder and application icons but when I select the 'Get Info' I can't seem to select the old icon and replace it with the new one via the copy and paste system.
'Click the icon in the upper-left corner of the Info window to select it.'
It just will not let me click and select the item.
Can anyone suggest a reason for this?
Many thanks

Is this a folder that was created by the system during an install, or a folder that you just created?
Is it on the desktop or inside another folder?
You should only need to click on the folder icon top left Get Info window once to select it...it should glow slightly to indicate it is selected.
Go to the Applications folder and do a get info and select, then use the keyboard to copy cmd-c....then go to a folder you've created and select and hit cmd-v to paste....the special icon that is used for the Applications folder should the be the icon on the folder you created.

How can I change the default save folder in MP Navigator for saved scans?

I am using MP Naqvigator with my Canon MP600 multifunction device and saving to an external drive is clunky because each time I save a document I have to browse to the device and the destination folder. I have tried to find a way of setting the default save folder from /users/myname/pictures/mpnavigator to volumes/drivename/foldername so that it speeds up the process. I've looked at all of the preferences files for the MP600 in the application and support libraries but can't see any reference to that default path. I'd be very grateful for any solutions from other Canon users.

It should still work the same way. I changed mine in either Snow Leopard or Lion and it remains the way i Changed it in Mountain Lion.
bob[07:25]~>defaults read com.apple.screencapture location
/Users/bob/Documents/ScreenCaptures/
to change it I had entered:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Users/bob/Documents/ScreenCaptures/

How can I change the look of URL Icons?

I have created several web site URL shortcuts and put them in my Dock (actually I just drug the web site URL's to my Dock, Apple crated the ability for me to do so). I have a iMac desktop, with OS X Mavericks 10.9.1.
My question is: Is there any way to change the look of the icons for the URLs that I have in my dock? (so far I have 5). They all look the same, an @ sign on top of a pedestal with a spring. I would like to at least change the face of the icon, the @ sign, to a picture of my choosing that would enable me to tell the difference of each one at a glance rather than having to slide my mouse pointer over each one to get the name of the web site to pop up.
Below is a picture of three of the icons on my dock. As you can see they all look the same, almost like the "Contacts" icon which is an @ sign on a book cover.
Best regards and still looking for clues and answers,
Peohguy

Your post helped me a lot. After all of the dust cleared and after sorting through all of the answers, the post(s) that solved my problem were from Kenichi Watanabe. However, I did have to go through all of Kenichi's posts to get the complete method that worked. Some of the other posts were difficult for me to comprehend and did not seem to work for me. I probably didn't do them like the writer's intended? Again thanks for taking the time to read my question and dig through your memory bank to come up with the thread that helped.
Best regards,

Can you change the appearence of individual icons (forward, etc) when using an existing persona?

I would like to change the appearance of the icons (forward, home, etc) when using a pre-existing persona. It appears that when using a persona the icons used are from the FF4 "default theme".

You can try to force Firefox to use a theme with the persona.

Can i change the border thickness in numbers for ipad

I can't figure out how to change the thickness of a border when you want to add a border around a cell... Can anyone shed light on this problem?

Jeff,
Printing has definitely gotten worse with Numbers 3.0. Apple published a list of items they are addressing here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6049
You can continue to use the previous version which is located in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09"
The only way I know to "fix" this problem is to print to PDF directly to Preview, then crop (using the rectangular selection tool and the menu item "Tools > Crop") and print again.

Can I change the original apple id to activate ipad

I am wondering if any iPad expert out here can help me. I had to reset my son's iPad 2 after he forgot the new pass code he changed last week. Now I am getting the Activate iPad screen.
I have the Apple Id that was used to activate the iPad as we bought it from new. But I can't remember the password. I managed to sign in to myAppleId site through security question validation, and requested password resetting for the Apple Id.
Apple sent a verification link to the email address which is my son's hotmail.co.uk account, but he has not used this hotmail account for long long time as he could not remember the password. It is all a bit of mess, I know.
So now, I am stuck.
In the my Apple Id site, I have an option to change Apple Id and primary email address. If I change this to my email account, and consequently change the Apple Id as well, will I be able to use this new Apple Id to activate the iPad? My worry is that it will still not match with the original Apple Id we first used to activate the iPad from new.
I am absoulely frustrated. Contacted Microsoft regarding resetting hotmail account password, the security rules are so restrict, and they can't help as this hotmail account has not been in use for long long time, and I can't provide any info such as when the last email was sent, etc.
Please help me ...
Many thanks in advance.
Dan

Yes, easy to do.
Go to Settings>General>Erase All Content and Settings, then set up your iPad as a new one. You'll have to put in your ID and password to force the erase.
