Change login icon, change login icon

How do I change the login icon? Its a fortune cookie. Also isn't there any easy way to change the background. I really liked the old login background, the grey is just too boring.
Thanks

Change fingerprint login icon/picture - Windows 7

Hello all-
I've got a fairly new T440s for which I've set up fingerpringt reading. I was wondering if there'd be an (easy) way to change the picture displayed on the welcome/login screen. I'm not talking about the background, but the icon in the middle that is currently a picture of a fingerprint.
I looked around at other threads and they either referred to editing .dll files (above my head a bit) or some picture in "C:\Program Files\ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software" which is not a directory on my machine. I'm running the latest version of Lenovo Fingerprint Manager Pro, and nothing in the Fingerprint Manager Pro program files looked persipacious.
Any tips would be appreciated. Many thanks!
Solved!

It's not possible on T440s. The other threads you read were about the fingerprint software for older systems (T430s and earlier) which was different. On T440s, it's just using the Windows built-in fingerprint credential provider. If you were to hack the built-in OS files, it would invalidate the signature of the file and the fingerprint option probably wouldn't load at that point. So in summary - that graphic is simply not designed to be changed, changing it requires hacking which would probably break things.

Language of some of my icons has changed and I can't seem to reverse it, please help!

A friend of mine was messing around with my laptop and managed to change the language to what I believe to be Russian. I changed the language under the 'International' tab back to English, but for some reason some of my icons (e.g. system preferences, software update and language menu) are still written in whatever language this is. I've fiddled about with the settings in the 'International' tab for hours but with no success and I can't find a solution anywhere. Please help!

Did you do logout/login after moving English to the top of the list?
Also you could try going to system prefs/international/language and using the Edit button to uncheck the box for Russian.

Mountain Lion changes my google chat icon / avatar

I recently upgraded to Mountain Lion 10.8.2, and regularly, after a few days of use, I notice that my Google chat icon / image / avatar is being changed to an image that I have on my local machine, that I once had as my login avatar, but have not used now for over 8 years!
It seems that Mountain Lion is telling Google's chat (but not Google+, or facebook) to use this image as my avatar for google chat, even though I am not explicitly telling it to, AND both my contacts and login profile images (System Preferences -> Users & Groups) on my mac are set to the correct image I want.
Originially, my avatar was an animated gif, but I'm trying to replace that everywhere with a standard gif just in case that's the problem, but it doesn't seem to be helping!
Does anyone know where else I may be having this phantom image of me, from 8 years ago show up?? The picture is not my current login or contacts pictures...
I did look at this discussion:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19272677#19272677 but changing my contacts image, even to a standard jpg/gif, did not help.
Does anyone know where else I may be having this phantom image of me, from 8 years ago show up??

Ok... I figured it out on my own...
Messages will regularly (~1 hour I think) change all the avatar/profile images it can for all the various jabber, AIM, etc (including gchat, since it's jabber protocol). I thought it was changing it to my Address book or "contacts" profile, or my login images, but these are independent of the one Messages was using (atleast for me). Here's how I fixed this for me:
Go to Mac OS Menu Bar (when focussed in Messages):
Messages -> Change My Picture...
Then drag an image you want to use into one of the "recents" tab, use the "other" tab, or take a picture of yourself using the web cam. Once you've selected a photo, you can crop it within the image window, or leave it alone. When you're ready, just click "done" button.
That's seeming to fix this PITA for me... why Apple decided my Mac's account image, Contacts profile, and Messages avatar image should all be different... beats me.

How can I change the name of the administrator that shows on Home Icon?

Hello
I've bought this laptop from a reliable source, went to the Apple Store (Regent St) with the box and they registered it in my name, address and so on. No problems, the mac works fine.
However, the Home/Icon and administrator is in the name of the old owner. Obviously, he gave me the password. But, I really want to have my name on it.
I've the box, the discs and all the books. Everything is in really good conditions.
I read the manuals, the instructions are straight forward but on the net and forum related mac, I can see that are lots of people having problems when they reboot and are unable to login and so on...
The genius bar at the Apple Store is okay, but the staff main objective is to sell and they are not very patient and neither have much time for you. Normally I end up leaving the store with software that I don't have a clue how to use and the problem unsolved. And it stresses me out.
Can someone help me please.
Thank you
Best regards

1. Yes, just the Shortname will be changed.
2. Not easier, but you can do that if you wish.
since I'm in the official Mac support forum should I expect to receive a reply from a Mac expert staff or it is unlikely to happen?
Just other Users here like you, trying to help other users. For a real Apple answer I think you have to call AppleCare, but rarely an Apple Host pops in... wouldn't expect it in this case though.
I do thank you for the info about your software and obviously will make a donation if everything works fine.
Not mine, but a worhy piece of SW just the same.

My itunes account was disabled for some reason. I changed password in iforgot and still didn't work. I could log in and see my music but not make purchases from the store or even redeem an itunes gift card so I set up a new login/account with another email account of mine. On the new account I can redeem my gift card and download items onto my ipad2. Is there any way to move my music to the new account?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

How can I change a user icon position?

How can I change the position that Yosemite determines for where a user icon is positioned on the login screen? I'm the admin and I added a standard user and the icon placement for that user is first, I'm second, and Guest User is third...it does not appear to be alphabetical. I'd like to switch the first two so my user icon is the first one on the left.

Locate a folder icon you wish to use. Select it and press COMMAND-C to copy. Select the folder you want changed. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. At the top left you will see that folder's icon. Click on it then press COMMAND-V to paste.
If you want to create your own icons then you will need an application to do that. For example, Folder Icon Changer 3.0.7.
Google searches will locste tons of pre-made folder icons you csn use. Some are free and some are not.

How do I change the order of the icons on the top right hand corner?

Hi,
I was wondering how to change the order for the icons at the top of the screen. I selected the option of not showing the battery status bar in the energy saver section. However, when I decided to add it back to the top, the order changed. This may sound strange but is there any way to get it back in the correct order.
Thanks

1) Hold down the command key and drag them around.
2) Open System Preferences/Accounts Login Items and change the order they load.

To access my login page, firefox changes the address and shortens "pms2" to just "pms" and it screws up my login procedure. Any hints on how to stop it from changing the address?

To pull up my login page for my reservation software, I have an icon on my desktop. https://apps.gracesoft.com/pms2/login.asp. However it keeps shortening the "pms2" to "pms" and that makes the login info invalid. The page pulls up just fine, but that one space saver invalidates the security

It appears that the URL is being redirected by the website, and not being changed by Firefox. I think you'll find that the URL will be changed if you try to visit the website in another web browser, too.

How to remove Login, sites, register icons in the iStore page

Hi,
Can some one guide me in finding how to remove the Sites and Register icon that comes on the top of the iStore pages along with the logo on the left corner.
Also i want to know how to change the jsp file of the Login icon that comes along with the Sites and Register icon in the top part of the iStore page.
Please guide me in figuring out the solution for this requirement.
Thanks
ri

Hi,
No need to customize the ibeCCtdMenu.jsp to remove the icons, It is enough to change the Profile option "FND Branding size" to the value "Medium" or "Small".
After changing the profile option value, bounce apache. The links will be dispalying now without icons. Try out this!!

How to do this,i am struck in this place,
Looking for useful and helpful suggession or snippet code,
Thanks in advance,
Cheers,
B.Venkatesan.

If the user is logging in, presumably you are having the user hit a back end web-server and database and using something like Blaze to connect? Right?
I personally would not do this with CSS. I would map the company icons to the users in the DB, retrieve the proper company icon and then pass it down (or embed it in the app) when the user logs in. Then, I would just set the source of the icon to be what I passed down:
Add your image where you want it to go:
<s:Image id="emptyImage" x="locationx" y="locationy".../>
Then in your ActionScript, when the user logs in and you know what company the user belongs you could do this:
private function loginUserBlazeResponse(resultEvent:ResultEvent):void {
var bytes:ByteArray = ByteArray(resultEvent.target);
emptyImage.source = bytes;
addElement(img);
img.visible = false;
img.addEventListener(FlexEvent.UPDATE_COMPLETE, imageLoaded);

How to change an after login page?

Does anyone knows how to change an after login page from a default page 1 to, let's say page 200?

Jessica,
The URL to run your application is http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=23533.
If you use this, page 3 is the first page shown after login.
Using the URL you gave runs the Application Builder, not your application. If you use the Builder's Run Application icon to run your application, the page in your application that you are requesting is page 1 (or whatever is in the application's Home URL attribute). But running your application this way is something you do in a development environment only
Your basic question has to do with how end users would get to a particular after-login page. End users do not have access to the Application Builder.

Why do document icons change

During login, document icons display as the familiar icon we've become accustomed to, but when login completes, the icons change to a rather drab, generic-looking thing. For example Word documents, which used to show as the familiar blue Word document icon, are now plain white with 'DOC' at the bottom. How can I get the original icons to display?
Thanks.

Hi Mike:
I might be telling you to chase rainbows.
I am running OS X 10.6, so there may be a disconnect.
However, when I open my document folder, the folders are blue, but individual documents are a white icon with something like doc at the bottom. I consider this "normal," but we may be talking about different things...
