Changing song icon labels

I am trying to burn a playlist of songs bounced from Logic to my dekstop and then dropped into iTunes. The files
show as quicktime.mp3 files. I was concerned how they might play on a Windoze machine and everything played fine so ultimately it looks like a non issue for the task at hand but I am curious to know if anyone knows how to change the icons from quicktime to appear as itunes icon"d" files?
thanks,
-todd

Here's a possible fix:

How I change the icon for iTunes songs?

When I drag iTunes songs onto my desktop the icon is white with a gray iTunes icon. How can change this icon for all of my iTunes songs?

Thanks Patrick. I used Control-Click on the actual audio file on my desktop opened the Show View Options menu and turned off the icon preview option. That changed my icons from gray with a white background to red with a white background which is exactly what I wanted. You pointed me in the right direction. Appreciate it.

Change folders color labels

Hi, I want to change the color label of folders which contain specified files, eg movs, jpegs. I don´t want to copy or remove files, because folder size is about 140 GB. The biggest group of files is about 50 GB. I mention this, because I think getting specified finder items could be a problem for my little ibook?
Thanks in advance

Also for the bug that iTunes doesn't minimize when I double-click the top edge of the window.
It isn't a bug, it's a feature.
Actually, I kinda like the improvements to the "miniplayer" thing, even though it isn't the same thing as minimizing the app. The only thing I don't like about the miniplayer is the tiny, hard to hit icon used to toggle it on & off, but if I can just remember the Cmd-Option-M shortcut for that I'm OK with that too.
I wouldn't mind filling out a survey before they (Apple) curtained features.
After hanging around ASC for a few years, I have realized that almost everybody has very different ideas about the usefulness of just about every feature Apple has ever implemented. If Apple listened to users, I suspect we would end up with an OS so bloated it wouldn't even be able to crawl, much less run, on most Macs, & the user preferences alone would have so many options nobody could find the ones they wanted without help.
Actually, I think that may already be happening ... but I'm sure everybody has a different opinion about that, too!

Changing multiple icons?

Hi,
Is there a way I can change multiple icons of folders, subfolders and their content?
I have all my music on an ext. HD, with it organised into artists>album>songs and a similar setup on another HD for video files with organisation being TV show>season>episodes. I would like all audio files and folders to have the same icon and all video files and folders the same as well.
Is there anyway I can do this without the labour intensive task of opening each folder, going ot the the "Get Inf" for each file or folder within it and pasting my preferred icon??
Thanks
E

You can do it with just the OS.
First, copy the icon you want to use to the Clipbioard (Command-C).
Then open a folder containing files which you want to change. Slect all the ones you want to have the icon on the Clipboard; if it's all the ones in the folder, just press Command A.
Then press Command-I (Get Info) without clicking on one of the selected files. A single Get Info window will open, showing the number of files selected as the 'name'.
Click the icon at the top of that Get Info window, press Command-V (Paste), and in a few seconds all the selected files will display the same icon, the one you had copied to the Clipboard.
Folder icons - I would do those individually, unless you have hundreds. You can, of course, experiment with the same technique with a bunch of those.

Changing the icon for saved Web links.

Im trying out different forum topics to see if anyone can help and I thought this would be a cool thing to do and might be doable with an applescript.
I save a lot of web address as files to go back to later and I find the default @ icon for firefox or the blank icon for safari pretty appalling. I was wondering if there was a way to change the icon so that when ever I save a new link file it would use the new icon. I was thinking about just an icon that has the Firefox, safari, chrome logo would be good or even better a little picture preview of the web page its self. Any help on this little idea I have is very appreciated
I really like the idea of a page preview for weblink files. Like this ( http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a238/Nuclearanthrax/Screenshot2010-09-02at1021 41PM.png )
I completely understand a straight up no answer to this. I have no idea how applescript works. I have used it very few times.

Pierre,
I tried this AppleScript but it was not working. Is there something that I need to check.
I had a few web link files in a folder and the script RAN the INFO window popped up but nothing changed.
This would be a valuable tool for me an my students,
Thanks in advance

Cant change JLabel icon with setIcon a second time???

Hey all,
I have drawn 21 cards on my GUI - then as a user selects one of three columns via a radio button and subsequent Submit button, the deck reshuffles itself, and is THEN supposed to change all the labels to the new cards in their New order.
All the code is good up until the point where it tries to reset the icon - and then I get a
"AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException
pointing to the line of my first Label that I am changing.
I am trying to use the same settings as I did in the initial setting and think that maybe this could be my problem, but cannot find a proper setting in the Interface.
My initial settings are this :
for (i=0; i < 7; i++)
          cardscol1.setIcon(new ImageIcon("images\\" + deck.get(i)));
cardscol2[i].setIcon(new ImageIcon("images\\" + deck.get(i + 7)));
cardscol3[i].setIcon(new ImageIcon("images\\" + deck.get(i + 14)));
THEN I tried this again (( INSIDE MY buttonHandler ))
for (i=0; i < 7; i++)
                        j=0;
                        cardscol1.setIcon(new ImageIcon("images\\" + deck.get(j)));
j++;
cardscol2[i].setIcon(new ImageIcon("images\\" + deck.get(j)));
j++;
cardscol3[i].setIcon(new ImageIcon("images\\" + deck.get(j)));
j++;
And this is where I get the NULL POINTER EXCEPTION -- help??
****UPDATE:
I cant access these Label PERIOD from within my Button Handler -- any idea why?

OK -- the cardscol1 and 2 and 3 JLABEL arrays reference cards11, 12, 13, 14, etc. etc... THESE CARDS are within the initComponents class that is in a seperate class as well -- so that is probably my problem-- how do I get this submitButtonHandler class to see the cards that are in my initComponents class???
AND THIS initComponents class is listed as PRIVATE!!! ((This is a class that the NetBeans GUI maker sets up -- very nice feature, but I cannot edit this class at all!))

Changing iPhone icons/9 page limit

Hello, I was wondering if currently there was any way to change the icons used on the iPhone like you can in OSX. Also, I've hit an app barrier at 9 pages and cannot load in anymore. Is there anyway to expand beyond this limit? There are so many cool applications at the App Store! I hate to pick and choose. Thank you for your time.

I appreciate your comments, and I suspect you are correct, Apple DID have reasons for leaving the icon limit at 9 pages. However, I disagree with your premise that those reasons are technical.
I program embedded systems for a living, and believe me, there is no TECHNICAL reason for that limit. More likely, it was the expedient thing to do to get software out the door to meet a deadline, with the justification that "we can fix it later in an update."
C'mon, how many bytes does an icon use? a few K or so? And how large are the apps those icons represent? Hundreds of k to many meg? It's not really about the number of icons that should be the limit, its how many MB of apps can you store, and that's not limited to "9 pages worth" according to the memory usage bar I see in iTunes.
I've read several comments from people along the lines of "why would you ever need more than 144 apps?!" Apparently, these people have only 2 pair of pants (why would you ever need more than two, one to wear and one to wash?!?) one pen and or pencil, one television, etc.
Let me ask you, how many songs do you have on your iPod? Pick any number, and according to that logic, I can certainly ask why in the world you would need to have that many!? I personally have almost filled my 80Gb iPod with music. Try and convince anyone that they only really need to have 50 songs, and if they want others, just "simply switch them out..." You may not remember the classic "why would anyone ever need more than 64k of ram?" argument that was made in the early 80's with some of the first "personal" computers(!)
I think you get the idea.
It's not about how many I USE, it's about how many I have with me when I'm traveling, and don't have access to my iTunes computer. It's about how many I get to choose from when I'm in the mood for a game. It's about not having to make a choice of which particular ones I think I'll want on a trip, it's having all of them available, with me, wherever I go. Isn't that kinda the point?
The good thing is that I have no doubt in a future release, Apple will update their firmware to handle as many apps as you have memory for, and maybe even give us (now, hold your breath!) FOLDERS to organize this sea of icons! Wow, what a concept!

(p.s. don't even get me started on the lack of copy & paste!)

Change the @ icon

I would like to be able to change the @ icon in the dock - can anyone suggest how? I really want to do it for 10.3.9, but I'm interested in a solution for 10.4.5 too (I use both).
The long story: I've got two @ icons in the dock linking to different web pages, and I would like to make them look different. They've got different text labels when you hover the mouse, but I need different icons (its for my 3 year old!!).
Cheers for any suggestions.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

If you drag a URL from the browser address bar to the Dock, the Dock recognizes it as web location, and knows it is supposed to assign the custom @ spring icon. There's only one, and there is no way to assign different icons to different addresses.
What you can do instead is drag the URL from the browser to the Desktop (or other convenient location). Now do GetInfo on the the webloc file and paste in a new custom icon. Once you have different icons assigned you can then drag the webloc file to the Dock. The original webloc file remains wherever you stashed it, it has a custom icon in the Dock, and goes to the address when clicked.

How to change mouse-over label for a mx:CandleStickChart?

I have an <mx:CandleStickChart .../> graph and want to change the default
labels on the mouse-over window. For example by default, the mouse-over window displays:
line1: some label
line2: open: #1
line3: close: #2
line4: high: #3
line5: low: #4
I want to change the words "open", "close", "high", "low" to something else. I optionally want to not show the "close" line.
Do you have any suggestions on how to do this? If you do, please provide a short example.
Thanks for taking the time to help.

Hi
First change the name from kPlusIconPNGIconRsrcID to kPlusIconPNGIconIRsrcID
so "I" will indicate that your icon is inactive
Create another resource id like:
#define kPlusIconPNGIconIRsrcID 15
#define kPlusIconPNGIconARsrcID 15
Define paths to the icons
resource PNGA(kPlusIconPNGIconIRsrcID) "../res/icons/PLUS_ICO_23_I.png" // Inactive icon
resource PNGR(kPlusIconPNGIconARsrcID) "../res/icons/PLUS_ICO_23_A.png" // Active icon

Is there any way to see full icon label on desktop or in folder?

Is there any way to see full icon label on desktop or in folder...like in windows...for example for "Macintosh HD" I see "Mac...HD", but I want to see "Macinto..."? Is there any way to change this? I have in many folder files with similar names, and I need to click twice on each file to see its full name and it can be really annoying...

In Finder, just drag the divider bar further to the right while holding down the option key to see the full label (using the 'option' key will make the width preference stick).
On the desktop icon, hold down 'contro'l and click on the icon. Choose 'Show view options' then make the grid spacing larger.

Dock: HOW make icon label letters easier to read what icon is???? Too smal

Dock: HOW make icon label letters easier to read what icon is???? Too small and is white, so often not easy to see or read. Is there a way to make the icon lable letters in the dock bigger?

Y are being appreciated right now for your future help in thisregard. Thank you.

Hi thelnukus,
In the Apple menu you will find "Dock". When you pick this you will see a number of things you can do.
1. Turn Magnification On/Off. If this is on, the icons will get larger as you put you mouse over then.
2. Dock Preferences. If you pick this you will see a window open up with more options.
Dock Size, lets you set the size of the of the Dock.
Magnification, lets you set the size the icons get to when you put your mouse over them.
You can set "Magnification" to large and the icons will get large as you put your mouse over them.
If you set the "Dock Size" to small and the "Magnification" to large, the Dock will be very small, but when you put your mouse over the icons the will appear very large and easier to see.
You can also just set the Dock Size to large or a bit larger as well.
I do not know if the color can be change at all.
I hope this helps
Joe

Mouser pointer changes on unit label

Hi
I noticed that whenever the mouse pointer goes over a unit label it changes its icon from the default to an entry field icon (icon # 3), although you cannot enter or write anything in the unit label field. Furthermore if you click inside the field the flashing line appears but, as intended, does not allow the user to write anything inside.
Is there a reason why this is happening or left this way? More importantly how can i make sure that the cursor does not change when hovering over unit labels and prevent the user from clicking inside the unit label field?- in some way disable the unit label but not the numerical field itself
thanks

Which version of Labview are you using? I ask so that you can find the tools palette. In LV7.1 and older, it was under "Window" menu, with LV8.x, it is under "View" menu.
Is the top box green? If so, it is in automatic tool select. Click on it to turn it off. Try repeating your steps.

I cannot change song order on playlist with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column( up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8 and am using itunes 10.4.

I cannot change song order on playlists (old or new) with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column (up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8 and am using itunes 10.4. I can't drag and drop "music" to "playlist" but can right click and get the option to "add to playlist." No such option for moving song within playlist, only the up and down arrow which moves song from top to bottom list, so if it is #4 from top it will move to #4 from bottom. Stupid I know. I spent over an hour with Apple support, reinstalled itunes, restarted and rebooted computer. Networked with my laptop which is running 10.6.8 and itunes 10.4 and it can drag and drop. The final Apple support solution was to reinstall my operating system. I would prefer not to. Any other ideas?

After looking at other people's posts, I think it's official: there is a bug. Itunes support said I should not have lost the drag/drop tool and I haven't on the laptop that is running itunes 10.4 and operating system 10.6.8. I chatted with someboby who lost both his drag/drop and side scroll and what we have in common is a wacom tablet for a mouse. My laptop is a wireless mouse. I reinstalled whatever updated driver that wacom has out there, shut the system down for night, hoping for magic, but alas none to be had. So if I want to change song order, I network the laptop and desktop, share the screen on the laptop, drag and drop to my heart's content and curse Apple for making me work this hard to find the tool that was once at my fingertips. Apple also let me know that if I want to share songs in household that the hundreds on songs that were purchased for .99 need to be repurchased for another .30. Maybe Apple is holding my drag/drop tool captive til I pay up the money or Maybe the next update will fix the problem, I for one give up for now.
