Changing Icons (After reading the Mac 101 Topic)

I'm trying to change icons on my hard drive. The problem lies in the icon in which I am going to replace the default icon with. When I go to the "Get Info" section of the icon, the image in the top left corner is the generic ".gif" file icon or the generic ".tif" file icon, instead of the actual image itself. Therefore, when I copy that file icon, it copies that generic ".gif" file icon onto the hard drive. But when I get info on other default mac icons (such as a folder), I see the folder icon in the top left corner.
The crux of my question is: how do I have the actual image show up in the top left corner of the "Get Info" section of the icon?
Thanks.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

You can either create an actual builtin thumbnail for the file, using an Automator action or a third party utility, or simply open the file in Preview and copy it there, then do GetInfo on the drive, select the wee little icon, and paste.

Is the address on your account based in France ? The language of the stores should reflect the language of the country where your account is based, which isn't necessarily the same language as you've set on the device.
If your account isn't based in a French spealing country, then try logging out of the account (via Settings > Store) and then log back in (and also make sure that your address is correct and complete), and see if the language of the iTunes and App Store the reflect the language of the country where your account is based.

Printer problem after upgrading the Mac HD disk

After replacing the Mac HD on my Mac Pro, and copying all the "old" data from the "old" Mac HD using Migration Assistance, I cannot print. Getting "communication error". Re-installing drivers does not help. The printer is a Canon MF4350d connected over USB. Is there files somewhere (USB drivers?) that may affect this issue. Or can how can I delete all (Canon) printer drivers and make a clean install?

First, make a backup of all your data or you entire system. Then you will follow the instructions in the link below to erase the Yosemite volume and reinstall Yosemite from scratch. After assuring it is working properly you can restore your third-party software from original media. Be sure the software is compatible with Yosemite. Finally, restore your data from your backup.
Install or Reinstall Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion, or Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
because it is three times faster than wireless.

How to Change icon & time of the documets display
I think Portal's icon is not good to look.
I also want Lastmodified time to display date.How to do it?
thanks for your help.

Hi Han,
the icons are saved under /etc/public/mimes/images
You can go to KM Content and upload there your own icons and either you replace the SAP standard name (ie: document.gif) what I would not recommend or the better solution would be to change the KM Configuration (Content Management -> Utilities -> Icons) so that your own icons are associated with some MIME types.
To change the format of the last modified property go to KM Configuration -> Content Management -> Global Services -> Property Metadata -> Properties. Search for "cm_modified". You could change the property type to "Date" but the solution I would prefer is to add following string in the parameter "Additional Metadata":
customFormat=MM/dd/yyyy or customFormat=dd.MM.yyyy
Hope this helps,
Robert

How to change delay parameter before waking, after putting the Mac to sleep

I recently bought a new fancy APS battery backup/surge protector power strip, that's supposed to switch off my peripherals after the Mac goes to sleep. (in the interest of being more green) Unfortunately, when I plug my USB speaker's power cord into one of the "master controlled" outlets on the strip, upon initiating a sleep command via pulldown menu, the machine sleeps, and then wakes immediately. I've isolated the problem to the following; if I disconnect the speakers USB cable, the problem doesn't occur... the mac sleep, the peripherals shut off.
It seems that the speaker is injecting some noise into the USB port as power shuts down, that the mac seems to interpret as a USB event/wake command. Is there any way to delay the time constant between sleeping and waking? Is there some way to hold off the mac from watching the USB port after sleeping for 3 sec, 5 sec or something like that ? I'm hoping that there is a time constant I can tweek.
Thanks for any help

First, are you referring to packages or applications because the behavior is different.
Also, why do you want it to retry a failure? It failed for a reason so you need to fix the cause of the failure first. If it failed the first, it will likely fail the next time for the same reason. In general, ConfigMgr will only retry on transient type
errors.

Can the newer logic boards still read the mac pro 1.1 2.66ghz duo core proc

i just bought a G5 and i am looking to upgrade it. I just bought the 2.66 ghz processors, and I am looking to buy a new logic board and was wondering if i bought a 2009 logic board would it still be compatible with the 2006 processors?

Unlike PCs (that stayed with one Hardware manufacturer year after year, and therefore did not change much of anything for decades) Mac hardware has been allowed to evolve over time. Macs have gone through several different processors from different manufacturers over the years.
It is a tribute to the superior engineering of the Mac Operating System that Apple has been able to extend and migrate Mac OS to accommodate wildly different hardware. Enormous incompatibilities tend not to appear all-at-once.
But change must eventually come. If you fancy running Mac OS X 10.6, it runs only on Intel Processors. The G5 is the last of the Motorola/IBM PowerPC processor series. The first was released about 1994 (PowerPC 601 in the 6100 series) and the last G5 was discontinued about 2006. There are a great number of people still running G4 and G5 Macs, generally using Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5. There are still a number of fairly vibrant forums on this Hardware and Software.
But if you want to end up with a working Mac Pro, you need to start with a Mac Pro chassis, not a G5 chassis. As Kappy points out the Processors, drives, peripheral interfaces, chassis cut-outs, Power Supply and most importantly Airflow/Cooling (with processor-controlled fans) are completely different, and there is no sensible way to adapt a G5 chassis to intel processors.
Starting with a Mac Pro chassis, the upgrades will only be difficult instead of impossible.

Change icon & window title - for Mac projectors? (but not Zinc)

I need to change the icon and window title for a Mac projector made with CS5 (on Windows).
I know there are a few solutions for the Windows exe.
But I can't find an affordable solution for the Mac projector. Any ideas?
I tried the Windows version of Zinc, it created exactly what I need for both the PC and Mac - but there's no way I'm paying $800+ for Zinc just to change the icon and window title.

My feeling was that there was a residual window spec left
over from a previous build. (You can go on adding windows via
Project>Windows rightclick.)
Now - if you Open <yourprojectname>.hpj the project
summary is displayed in dialog format. The first line reads 'This
file is maintained by HCW. Do not modify this file directly.'
Nevertheless, it is possible to do so - doubleclick on any of the
sections to bring up an editable dialog on its settings. There are
buttons at right, too, that replicate several of the doubleclicks.
I'm annoyed that I can't remember which file stores all this data
in an accessible form.
In the General tab of the resulting Windows dialog there are
the options to Add, Remove and Include window types and enter/edit
Title texts. It's worth having a look at what's shown here just in
case there is an Include being copied from another (and possibly no
longer available?) project file.
Perhaps try this (having backed up, of course!!):
1 Note the required spec for your second window.
2 Open the .hpj windows dialog and Remove any and all windows
apart from Main.
3 Open the project and see if the ghost is still there.
4 Is it??
(No-one else going back this far?)

Since iOS 8 came out, my iPad Air with iOS 7.1.2 is slow on wifi searches. Is this the way to for me to update? After reading the common threads, I do not want to upgrade yet. Is there another solution?

What is wrong with this picture? We are forced to vent on forums and rely on other users to find answers to our problems. Obviously, after reading other posts, we all suffer from poor quality controls before release of upgrades and new "toys"! I have an iPad Air replacing an iPad 1st Gen bought on the first day of release. Was happy until iOS 7 was introduced. Since then, many frozen screens on the web, unexpected shut downs for reboot. No, it is not full, as I have over 70gigs available. I close my apps regularly so they don't run in the background. NOW, since the release of iOS 8, my wifi connection is slow like ****, to almost not working. And I haven't even ungraded to iOS 8! Is this Apple's new way to force me to upgrade? My iPhone 4S is faster, although I have to change it. No battery life, regular unexpected shutdowns. JUST WRITING THIS POST IS PAINFULL: at one point, I was only able to erase text by backing up... No editing possible, no new typing either... As if I was monitered and they did not agree with my text. So weird... Anyways it is back now. As I was saying, need to change phone, but I am afraid to buy the 6 with iOS 8.
SO, here are my questions: what can i do for my iPad Air connectivity issues? And between an iOS 7 iPhone 5S and iOS 8 iPhone 6, what to choose?

If you don't like to be helped by other users that volunteer their time to help other users, then go to your nearest Apple store, and talk to a Genius there at the bar. Call up Apple Support. There are ways to get direct Apple Support. These forums are here to help out those who want help. Not for those who just want to vent.

The iPad Air shipped with iOS 7 from factory, so not sure what that means. it worked with 7 but then it did not?
Whatever is going on with your iPad now, is completely unrelated to the release of iOS 8. Apple does not tamper with the devices to force you to update. In fact you don't even have to update at all. I know people still using iOs 6 because they like it.
Personally I updated my iPad 2, an iPad Mini, and my iPhone 5 to iOS 8 and have experience none of the issues that seem to plague people. Should i automatically assume the update is flawless? No, but I also don't assume that Apple is causing issues to my devices remotely. That is just ludicrously ridiculous.
The forum software here does have many issues. It also ironically enough doesn't get along with iPads very well for some reason, but Apple has nothing to do with that. Jive, the makers of the forum software provide it to Apple and maintain it as well. If there are issues with the forum software we report them to them, and they try to fix them.
With that said, apple sold over 10 million iPhone 6s on launch, have you seen anywhere near that many complaints about it?
In a pool of devices that large there's bound to be issues, but its still a very very small percentage of users having any issues at all let alone device breaking ones which are even less.
Good luck finding another Technology company that has a percentage of issues as low as Apple has in a pool of devices as large as the one Apple manages.
As a final point, what have you tried to solve the slowness and other issues you are experiencing. Sometimes software suffers bugs. If resetting the device has not fixed this perhaps a restore may work out.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

Hi,
Please check the value of the parameter BBP_WFL_SECURITY in trascn PFCG for the EMPLOYEE role. See whether that is set to value low/medium/high so that the employee sees the CHANGE button.
