Changing icons & Controls does not work- Help needed

When changing the theme in "theme preferences" only the window borders change... The icons and window controls remains as the same boring default.
Does anybody have a solution to the problem?

Oh, sorry... I just had to forget that
I use gnome 2.8 as my DE
Update: A nice little reboot fixed the problem. It may have been because I added fam to the startup...
i always use ... "switch" and "switch2" from pacman. they're small programs to switch gtk/gtk2 themes... I don't have the whole gnome package so that works well for me.

Viewing web cam does not work, help needed

I'm having trouble viewing an iSight webcam on my iBook. I start up iChat on my MacBook then click accept to start viewing the webcam. 'connecting' comes up and thats as far as it goes. Same with audio, click accept and then it goes to 'connecting' then the same happens. I thought you could still 'view' the webcam even though theres not one installed on my iBook? Any help would be much appriciated, thank you!

Hi Tymon,
Can I ask if you have an AIM or @mac name (A screen name ) ?
If so have you set this up in iChat ?
"Connecting" would indicate you are not Logged on to the AIM server hence my first question.
You can View your Preview by Clicking on your own Video icon next to your Buddy Icon pic. (or by going to the iChat > Preferences > Video section).
If the mac firewall is On but you have not set iChat ports then you could have problems particularly if in the Advanced section you have Stealth mode selected.
You will also need to open the ports in any device that routes to connect you to the internet.
This FAQ may help explain the questions further

E61 Bluetooth modem does not work - help needed

I have an IBM ThinkPad R51 Laptop with XP Profesional SP2. I have installed the latest version of PC Suite, 6.82.22.0. I can sync using the bluetooth connection. I can connect my laptop to the internet with my E61 using the USB cable.
But I cannot connect to the Internet using the BlueTooth connection. The BlueTooth modem appears to be the problem. When I try and connect it fails with the msg "Failed to connect to the Network! One Touch Access could not connect to the selected device."
If I go to the Blue Tooth Modem properties via the Control Panel and Query the modem I get the following error msg:
"The modem failed to respond. Make sure it is properly connected and turned on. If it is an Internal modem or is connected, verify that the interrupt for the port is properly set."
BlueTooth stack is WIDCOMM ver. 1.4.3.4.
NB. I am unable to select the Microsoft stack in Connection Manager.

Julien-
I have the Apple MC184LL/A Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard. The brigtness control works with mine, as do most of the other functions.
Try cycling the keyboard off and on. Hold the power button until the green LED goes out. Then press it one more time to turn it back on.
You might try resetting the iPad's network. Go to Settings-General-Reset-Reset Network Settings. Then you may need to reconnect your WiFi and Bluetooth.
If that doesn't help, try resetting/rebooting the iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart in a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

Downloaded ios7 to my iphone4s and now my volume control does not work 99 % of the time. what can i do to solve the problem

Mission Control does not work!!!!!!!!

Hi all,
I have recently Reformatted my mac and made it into 1 partition of 500gb just to run mac os x. I did it with the discs the laptop came with.
After OSx install was complete, I ran the os x lion downloaded from the app store and installed it too. After completely updating the system with software updates and my other software like ms office, vlc, flash, iLife etc.
I have found that the mission control does not work sometimes. It allows you to swipe from screen to screen but when when you swipe up.. It hides the top apple bar but nothing else happens.. Everything else is fine so far.
When I turn my mac on. If it gets stuck the only way to make it work again is to restart. Which is a bit annoying.. Plz tell me if it's a bug or something.
If that happens to someone else as well?
Thanks

2002 G3 600 mhz iMac display stays dim with an unidentified sign displayed. The contrast control does not work.

My display screen is dim and the contrast control does not work. There is a sign on the screen that I have been unable to identify. It is a white circle outline with a half moon solid circle within it. Does anyone know what's wrong?

Did you reset the PRAM? http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379 And the pram battery may need to be replaced if it is over 3 years old it is under the iMac under the ram cover and there is a little button in there to reset the pmu as well. you have to have it pluged in when you do a pmu reset. there is a lot more stuff to try before the worst case scenario that is a bad PAV board the Pav is what runs the monitor and if it is going bad That may be a syptom that it is haveing and they can not be fixed (Well not for under $250 and that is useing old parts because they do not make them any more) but that wood be worst case scenario. Lets just hope it just needs to be reset Try that and Keep us posted

Keyboard volume control does not work

I have an iMac G5, running OS 10.5.8, and a new Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad. My keyboard volume control does not work. Any have ideas as to why ? (I have a similar set-up at work with no volume problems.)

Try system prefs/keyboard/keyboard/ and uncheck Use all F1, F2 etc as standard function keys.
Other wise the volume and brightness controls will only work if you hold down the function key first (fn)

My Bose SIE2i volume control does not work. (pause/play does work). This is the secone set - the apple store in Sydney replaced the firsat set that had the same problem. It was working OK and has stopped.

My Bose SIE2i volume control does not work. (pause/play does work). This is the second set - the apple store in Sydney replaced the first set that had the same problem. It was working OK and has stopped.

Thanks again V.K. I did check the layout, and it was listed as alphabet when I inputted the password. So that doesn't seems to the the issue.
Just finished a truly mystifying experiment, but I put in a shorter password in the way mentioned earlier and it worked. I then systematically kept increasing the characters of that password and it seems that if the password starts to exceed about 16, it stops recognizing it. I am fairly sure it is not the password itself since it never gives an error when typing in the verification password. So unless I systematically make the exact mistake twice at the setup screen, and then don't or make a different mistake every time at the login screen, I don't think its my typing skill.
So problem solved for now, but I am still a bit worried. Maybe I should completely reinstall and use a shorter password.
Is there supposed to be a length limit?

My up button for volume does not work and need to turn incoming call volume up. is there an app to do this

my up volume button does not work and i need to turn the incall volume up. is there an app that does this?

Hey skeith75,
Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, your iPhone may need to be serviced to fix that button. However, if in the meantime you would like a workaround for turning the volume up on a phone call, you can use Assistive Touch:

Clicking the lock does not work HELP

clicking the lock at any kind of program does not work at all, not working in system pref,
not working at ''get info'' window, not working in any other kind of lock, i tried defragging via idefrag but that couldn't work because it needed a lock to be opened as well, i can't move my files to some folders, getting the ''The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code 100022).''
plus when i log out, cannot log in because when i type my password it accepts it but then nothing happens, i had a root account as well but i can't enter it and can't create again because of the lock, but when i log in with guest account(no pass required) i can make changes via clicking the lock and filling in admin username and password in system preferences. and i created a new admin account in guest account by filling admin info for authorization in system preferences > users&groups , set no password, logged out but could not log into that account as well. my system is set to login to my account when the system starts. so thats how i can use the computer

Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. There are ways to back up, even if you can’t log in. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore everything to the state it’s in now. If you’re not sure you can do that, STOP.
Briefly, you need to delete the following file:
/var/audit/current
If you already know how to do that, you can skip the rest of this message. Do it, and try again to log in.
Step 1
Boot in single-user mode by holding down the key combination command-S at the startup chime. If you’re using an external USB keyboard, it must be plugged directly into a built-in port on the Mac, not into a hub. Release the keys when you see a black screen with scrolling white text. In this mode, there’s no graphical interface; just a command line. Initially, you can’t make any changes to files.
Step 2
When the text stops scrolling, and you see a line ending in a pound sign (“#”), type the following command:
rm /var/audit/current
You must type the command exactly as given. If you don’t feel able to do that, STOP. At this stage, no harm will be done if you make a mistake, but later, it will be.
Press the return key. You’ll get an error message about a “read-only filesystem” below what you entered. There must be no other error message. If there is, try again until you get it right. You’ll continue to get the read-only error.
You might get the error “No such file or directory,” even if you entered the command correctly. If you’re sure that’s the case, stop and post again.
Step 3
Once you’ve taken steps 2, and received the expected error messages, enter the following command:
mount -uw /
Again, you must get it exactly right. This time, there should be no output at all. If there is, you mistyped the command, or something else is wrong.
Step 4
When you’ve taken step 3 with no error message, press the up-arrow key until the command from step 2 (rm …) reappears. If you got everything right on the first try, you’ll need to press the key twice. Make sure the command is correct, then press return again. There should be no output. If there is any, make a note of it and post a reply.
Step 5
Enter the command:
exit
Press return. The text will start scrolling again, and then the system will reboot. Try again to log in.

we moved our phone we need help because it does not work when we reconnect... Comcast phone call disconnected twice from my cell phone. And now it rings busy - phone number 800-934-6489 and 800-266-2278. We called again from another cell phone and are not being connected to an agent after 3 minutes.
