Can I 'lock' application icons, and if so, how?

The students in my classroom have recently figured out how to change an application's icon, and it's getting out of hand. Is there a way to make it so an administrator username and password must be entered to change said icons? It's getting a bit out of hand. I have this enabled on my macbook, when I try to change an icon it makes me enter my administrator username and password. However, I don't know how to enable or disable this. Thanks.

Are these in the main /Applications folder, or within their accounts ?; and are those accounts standard or admin ?.
I'm not quite clear where you'd be asked for an admin password to do that... since when I try as standard user, Paste (or dragging an image onto the info window) is unavailable on Applications that aren't owned by the user : can you describe what you do to be prompted ?.

Is this the app you're referring to?

As you'll note it's made by Presselite and that page has a link to their support.
Also, you'll find it best not to post questions about iPhone apps in the AppleWorks forum. Best to contact the makers of the app.

You arne't necessarily doing anything wrong.
Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
That should reinstall the App Store for you.
Restart your Mac after the combo is finished installing.
You should see the App Store icon in the Dock and be able to access from your Apple menu also.
Make sure your Mac meet's Lion's requirements

After upgrading to Lion, Preview (5.2.2) appears to have lost the facility to run a slide show by using my mouse to click an icon in the visible menu bar, as I could in the previous version. Can I retrieve that icon and thus that facility?

Unfortunately not. Lion has made many adjustments to the previous system. Try opening your pdfs in keynote.

HT201304 How can I lock apps icons to move by anyone.?

How can I lock apps icon on iPad screen that whe. I arrange icons on screens other users don't move them.

You can't lock apps on a screen or lock folders to prevent them from being moved around.

Can anyone explain this behavior and tell me how to fix it?

Using NetBeans 6.5 on Windows, Glassfish v2.1
I have a JSF application with a page that has a tab set.
On one of the tabs I have a panel with company information.
One of the components on the page is an InputText field with the value bound to a session bean variable.
The tab also has an Add button.
Here is what the JSP looks like for the input text and button components
   <h:inputText binding="#{MainPage.companyNameTF}" id="companyNameTF" readonly="#{SessionBean1.readOnlyFlag}"
   <h:commandButton action="#{MainPage.mainAddBtn_action}" disabled="#{SessionBean1.disableEdit}" id="mainAddBtn"
        style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; left: 425px; top: 380px; position: absolute; width: 75px" value="Add"/>
     This is all plain vanilla stuff and I would expect that when the Add button is pushed, the session bean property would be filled with
the value entered in the input text field.
In the java code for the page, I have a method to process the Add button push.
Originally, it just called a method in the session bean to check that a value was entered in the input text field by checking the bound
session bean property.
For some reason, that was not getting filled and I was getting either a null or empty string rather than the value in the text field.
I added some checking in the method that processes the Add button push so I could check the values in the debugger.
Here is a sample of that code:
    public String mainAddBtn_action() {
        String s = sb1.getCompanyName();
        s = (String)this.companyNameTF.getValue();
        s = (String)this.companyNameTF.getSubmittedValue();I check this in the debugger and NONE of the variants that I have listed have the value that was entered into the text field.
The submittedValue is null and the others are empty strings (that is what they were initalized to).
This is all pertty straight forward stuff and I am at a loss to explain what is happening.
Can anyone expain this behavior, and, most important, how can I force the values to be present when the Add button is pushed.
I have never experienced this problem before, and have no clue what is causing it.
Thanks.

Basically, the component bindings are just being used in plain vanilla get/set modes.
I set them to "" when I do a clear for the fields and they are set to a value via the text field.
No other action other than to read the values via get to insert them into the database.
And, I always use the get/set methods rather than just setting the value directly.
This is what is so strange about this behavior - I have created dozens of database add/update/delete pages using this same model and have not had a problem with them - even in a tab context.
Not a clue why this one is different.
I did notice that I had an error on the page (in IE7, you get a small triangle warning sign when something is not right).
I figured that might be the problem - maybe buggering up the rendering process.
I tracked that down and do not get that anymore (it had to do with the PDF display I was trying to get working a while back), but that did not resolve the problem.
I don't think there are any tab conflicts - none of the components are shared between tabs, but I will see what happens when I move a couple of the components out of the tab context.
I noticed that it seems to skip a cycle. Here is what I can do.
1) Fill in text fields and add a record - works fine the first time.
2) Clear the text fields
3) Enter new data in the text fields and push Add
4) I get an error saying fields are blank from my data check process.
5) Enter new data and push Add - the record is added with the new data.
My work around is to not enter data in step 3 and just accept the error message in step 4, then go ahead and enter the real data in step 5.
Very ugly, but it works every time.

When I sync my iphone 4S using iTunes it only syncs 8.5GB of music, not the entore library as specified. Is there a capcity default limit of the amount of storage that can be used for music and if so how do I change it?

The only limit is that of the device. No restrictions on how much of it you can use for music. Is part of your music library unchecked?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
A number of users have encountered this problem, for existing users the problem has largely been resolved by restarting the Apple TV. However since you are a new user it would be wise to check that your settings are correct to begin with. Ensure the router allows access over port 123 (TCP) and that you are using the DNS settings provided by the ISP and not your own.

How do I get deleted apps off my phone permanently. I deleted it but when I go to application icon then update and hit purchase I still see the apps I deleted with a cloud and a downward arrow. Is there a way to get that off your phone.

they are deleted permanently off your phone
but they will forever be tied to your appleID so you can redownload them for free there is no way around that but they are not taking up storage or anything when they live in purchase

How can I separate the "Icons and Text" of the browser control buttons (Back, Forward, etc.) from the Icons on the Add-on toolbar?

At home, this is not an issue. I don't know why it's different here at work--same installation, same settings (as far as I can tell).
Windows Vista
Firefox 7.0.1
Status-4-Evar installed to turn add-on bar into a status bar
I have a NoScript add-on icon in the corner, which works fine. If I add a GreaseMonkey icon from the Customize menu, the "Icon and Text" appears for that icon, like the Icon and Text from the browser controls (Home, stop, etc). Other add-on icons also show Icon and Text (S4E, for instance). NoScript is the only one I've found so far which collapses down to just an Icon.
This leads to the status (add-on) bar having a much larger height than I like. Essentially what I want is for only the Icon to appear in the Status bar (Add-on toolbar), while keeping Icons and Text in the Browser controls. My current workaround is simply removing the other add-on icons from the status (add-on) toolbar, but that takes away the ease of toggling and setting options.
Please tell me if I can provide you with anything else, and thanks for your help.
Edit: I've got some screenshots to show what I mean.
[http://i41.tinypic.com/ftek9s.jpg desired behavior]
[http://i43.tinypic.com/1z6a4h3.jpg problem when icon is added]

Surely there must be some UserChrome.css that will solve this problem. Something like this:
/* Remove text titles for icons in add-on bar */
addonbar .button-text {
visibility: collapse !important;
Unfortunately that does not work. I probably have the button text item name wrong (there is a pound sign before addonbar but it doesn't show in this posting).

Email PDF Form and Sign Entire Submission - Can this lock the form and show the signature?

Thanks to those who explained how to create a button that allows me to email a form as a PDF rather than XML. It helped me a great deal.
Now I want to cause our time sheet adjustment form to be emailed from the employee to their supervisor, and have the form-data be read-only, and the employee signature to be obvious to the recipient.
I've tried checking the Sign Submission check box in the Submit tab of the Button Object window, (where the mailto: tag has been entered.
I clicked the "Settings..." button on the Submit tab and then, under the "Sign Data and Submit Settings" dialog box I selected "Sign Entire Submission". But this does not lock the data and the resulting PDF form once emailed, shows no sign of a signature.
I also tried adding a signature field, and clicked on it to add a signature. But once the signature was added, the Button was disabled and I could not submit the form via the mailto: tag.
Is there a way to signa form with a self-signed signature, and email the entire PDF such that the recipient can see the signature, and that the data are no longer editable?
Wouldn't that just be ducky...?
Thanks again,
-David Bartholomew

Thanks for your comment. I suppose I need to add a context to my intended usage to explain why I want what I described. I want the signature to be apparent so users can see that a submission was signed. These forms that I am considering will replace a paper form used internally within my organization, to request a time card change. They only need to be signed as a pro-forma requirement.
If the electronic forms solution is approved by management, I will make a case that since the network is a closed intranet, there is little consequential likelihood that a fellow employee would forge another's time card change request. And since the new form would be submitted through email, there is a further validation that the email will identify the sender's email address. This proposed electronic submission method is certainly as valid as forms where users cut and paste an image of their signature in a document...
The good news is that since I asked this question, I discovered the samples that came with LCD 8...
An example can be found in the Live Cycle Interactive Purchase Order sample found at [installdir]\EN\Samples\Purchase Order\Interactive.
The interactive Purchase Order sample shows how a collection of fields can be defined and then the signature applied only to the data in the collection. The email button is defined as not included in the collection. This way the signature field can be used, and once the document is signed, the email button remains enabled.
The interactive purchase order sample also demonstrates how a drop down list can be populated by a JavaScript as well as some array handling syntax that I've been looking for.
I recommend the samples to anyone who, like me, may not have been aware of their relevance.
Thanks again, this forum is a great resource.

File sharing problem with a PC . locked Folder Icons and funny things

Help was running Tiger fine then upgraded to leopard now my Macbook pro wont shut down properly unless i disconnect all the external USB devices that are attached.
I also used to be able to write to my shared folder on my Windows PC, this comes up on my mac Book pro now with a locked disk icon on it and i cant save to it. the folders inside it also start changing there icon appearance at will. and some times when i try to save a file to it it keeps telling me the file name is too long even if i change it to only one or two characters .
would not mind too much but this is my business thats being effected by this . I have tried it on 2 Imac
Dual core flat panel machine's which still run in tiger and everything is fine with both of these so i know its Leopard that has caused these faults. anyone with any help please let me know .
ian

*Same problem* here: MacBook on Tiger was fine, after installing Leo, unable to write on shared pc-folders (lock-icon).
There are 2 work-arounds I found:
1. uncheck the "protected" box in the info-panel (Mac) of a locked folder,
2. if the pc-folder had a custom icon, resetting to standard will unlock the write protection as well. In both cases, the folders on the pc will change their icons... I have to agree that this is a Leopard issue.
As I use the Mac for work and often have to exchange docs from and to pc's this "bug" is annoying me.

In case you mobile is stolen or lost can operator lock you mobile and how?

Someone mention if your mobile is stolen or lost that if you call your operator (etc Orange, T-Mobile), they can lock your mobile and how that works and what shows on that mobile if someone found and want to unlock?

Once an owner reports the phone stolen, and the carriers block the IMEI, that phone will not be able to be used on any carrier's network in the country where carriers offer IMEI blocking. I.E.- an owner reports his/her phone stolen in the UK, all UK carriers block the IMEI, that phone will not be able to be used in the UK.

Can not find applications pages and numbers after I reinstall to os X. I've read that this applications are free.

Good day. I did an upload for my mac and now I have an Mac os X. I've read that with this system you provide applications: numbers and pages and others for free. I checked in Purchase for that and I dont see them.
Thank you.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You only get Numbers, Pages and Keynote for free if you purchased a Mac after October 1st or if you have got iWork '09 installed. If not, you have to pay for these applications
