Custom Icon goes with usb peripheral from Mac to different Mac

Okay, so I can change the icon on my usb flash drive to show a custom icon each time I plug it into the same Mac day after day, but what if I want to change to a different computer, say my Mac at home, the icon comes up as the default icon. Can I lock the icon so that it will appear the way I want on any Mac I plug it into?

I took a look at the Adobe PS CS CD, and it did the same thing I do with some of my internal drives, namely, it has a custom icon on the CD ".VolumeIcon.icns" which displays when the CD mounts, just as my own ".VolumeIcon.icns" custom icons do for internal drives. However, when I added a custom .VolumeIcon.icns to my firewire drive the custom icon did NOT display. I tried quitting the Finder and relaunching it, no custom icon. Shutdown the computer and the firewire drive, next time I restarted the firewire drive and it mounted it was still displaying the regular firewire drive icon. Don't know if USB drives would behave like my firewire drive or like a CD, but I expect they will behave like the firewire drive.

    What do I need to do to use the Airplay feature with Jango Radio from my iPhone or Mac?

    Thanks Community! I solved the problem. In fact it was not a problem but lack of understanding. These guys at Apple are way ahead in thir thinking. I will try to explain as short as I can.
    In Lion, ihe Prefferences/Display show only two choices: 6-7 steps of resolution and some color tab. No two screens, no two display to overlap, nothing for us to do. "That was the problem"! Everything is automatic.
    When I connected the HDMI cable to the Miniport into a T-bolt slot, the TV screen showed the "spiral galaxy" how Zyriab is calling it. In fact he gave me the best clue. That shows the connection is good. But where is the Mac Book image?
    You have to drag it to the right out of the Mac Book display area, and "voila!" it will continue on the TV screen. The same with the mouse pointer, push it out ofthe Mac Book display area and you see it on the TV sreen. Good image, you can keep the max resolution, etc. The sound is still on the Book's speakers. I have to figure that out.
    Thank everybody, especialy Zyriab, ne was the closest.
    High regards to everybody

  • I d like to export mail folder ("on my mac") to different mac

    I d like to export mail folder ("on my mac") to different mac!
    In detail:
    I got a MacBookPro and have a lot of important emails saved in mail under the "on my mac" folder. How do I transfer those folder and emails to my Imac? Both macs mail is working fine but if i create a new folder under "on my mac", emails on the Imac disapear and they are not in the "on my mac" folder of the Imac. Any suggestions?

    You will have to buy the version that is compatible with the version of Apple OS X that you are running.

  • Custom icon for my USB flash drive?

    Alright, now I realize I'm probably missing something here, but it's getting away from me here. All I want to do is have a custom icon for my flash drive that will show up on any Mac that I plug it into.
    As it is, I can assign a coustom icon (by doing the old get-info-copy-and-paste-the-icon thingie), but it doesn't show up when I plug it into another Mac. I just get the generic disk icon. What am I missing? This has to be quite simple.

    Trey,
    I may be PITW, but I think the icons used to represent various volumes/devices are (if customized) specific to a system (not the volume/device). Thus you would have to set the custom icon for your flash drive on each system you wanted to see it.
    A WAG: I haven't the slightest idea if it would work for a flash drive, but for a CD one would drag the custom icon (.icns file) to the root level of the CD and rename it .VolumeIcon.icns before burning the CD.

  • Displaying Customer Exit Variable with derived value from another ODS

    Hi All,
    Sorry if this question has been answered before.  I searched the forums and could not find anything specific to my problem.
    I am new to BEx Query.  Customer is requesting a variable(s) be created which will be displayed as a column along with other CKF and RKF.  This query is a payroll query for US/Canada.  This new variable will be based on the user input date for the query.  We are to take this date and go look up the actual pay date for the pay period to which the user input date belongs.  The pay date is stored in another ODS.
    So far, as far as the changes to the Customer Exit ZXRSRU01 are concerned, I would perform the logic when I_STEP = 2.  Do a basic selection off the second ODS, derive the pay date, and store in range table E_T_Range.
    The data displayed off the user input date is displayed in rows.  This is done six times, going back seven days for each row (first row is data for period user entered date to user entered date - 7 days; second row is data for period user entered date - 7 days to user entered date - 14 days; etc ...).  For this to happen  correctly, I am assuming the variable(s) are to to have characteristic types 'Not ready for input', 'Mandatory', 'Customer Exit', and 'Single Value'.
    My question is ... How do I display the six variables in columns (how are they to be defined in the query) and the characteristics I list above, are they correct? Does this need to be a replacement path variable?
    Thanks.

    Hi Amir,
    What i can understand from u r requirement is you want to few columns that will show something like below,
    User entered date = x
    Period of X to Period of (X-7)       Period of X to Period of (X-14).....
    This can be done by CMOD for variable only.
    Logic steps :
    1) Take the user input.
    2) Find out the period by using T009B table and store in temp variable.
    3) Do day -7 and find out period for the same
    4) Assing period of X to ls_range-high range and X-7 to ls_range-low.
    Let me know if you have any doubt
    Regards,

  • Help with sending email from RoadRunner account on Mac, iPhone, iPad

    Recently, I have had strange issues where suddenly I realize that I cannot send email using Mac Mail (Mac OS X 10.8.1).  Its a very frustration condition where when everything was once fine, suddenly you stop being able to send email without what appears to be 'reason'.
    Today I learned the reason, and I assume others might run into this as well, so I am posting the issue and solution:
    Per Time Warner/RoadRunner support:  "When on your home network, the SMTP server does not require authentication.  When away from your home network, the SMTP server REQUIRES authentication"
    That is what I believe to be a mistake on RoadRunner's part.  Hundred of thousands of users will not understand that they need to change this setting anytime they go for a coffee at Starbucks.
    So to help, here is what I have come up with:
    From Mail -> Preferences, you need to edit your SMTP server list.  Click the drop-down list next to 'Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) and select 'edit SMTP Server List.  Create two server connections and name one something that reminds you that it is the home network, and the other a roaming network.  Set the home network server config to Authentication -> None.  Set the roaming network server config to Authentication -> Password and fill in the username/password credentials.
    Having both these servers available for you to select from will reduce the impact of this inconvenient requirement from RoadRunner.
    .....Comcast.....please make service available in my area.....

    Bradley,
    You did it. I used your suggestion and solved what I hope to be the last of a very persistent problem.
    I made both a home and away SMTP server setting on my iMail. I tested both and are working well.
    Of all my research, your suggestion was the only fix to this problem. Now, I hope to be able to send email wherever I am instead of waiting until I am at a home network or worse, resorting to using my phone.
    Thanks again!

  • Problem with transferring psds from PC cs2 to Mac cs3

    Hello I'm having an issue with a psd file that was made on a PC using cs2.. i can't open up the file on a mac with cs3.. any reason why?
    Bomber

    If it is a Fonts issue, be aware that not all fonts are transferable from PC to Mac and vice versa.
    I have to say though, that in the past when I've had conflicts like that it's opened the file and gave the option of substituting the font. Don't have CS3 though.
    I'd still like to know how the files are being transferred.

  • Applications with serial numbers from old to new mac

    Hello,
    I just purchased a new Retina Display MBP as an upgrade to my old iMac.
    I have over 200 Applications taking up the bulk of my drive, many of which have serial numbers that I no longer even know of due to loss of original boxes, or what have you.
    I am trying to avoid copying all of my content over to the new MBP, I would much rather just move what I actually need to and try to keep it a little "cleaner". So my question is, with a Time Machine Backup of my iMac... Can I plug that into the MacBook Pro, launch Time Machine, and simply drag the last backup's Applications over? Will the ones with the serial numbers run?
    Is there a better way to do it?
    Thanks!

    Use Migration Assistant. You can customise to a certain extent what you transfer over, but it'd be easier to transfer all your stuff that way and then delete what you don't want.

  • Recover safari bookmarks from backup of different Mac

    My iMac running Snow Leopard died. Electricuted in one of those Florida lightening storms. I will miss you.
    My back up machine is a fine old MBA also running Snow Leopard.
    I want to replace the Safari 5.1.7 bookmarks from the iMac onto my MBA.
    I had several backups of the iMac just prior to the rath of Zeus including TM, CCC and Mozy. So I have the file(s) that have the iMac Safari bookmarks. But where are they and what do I need to copy over to the MBA. I suspect the CCC disk is the easiest place to look. Not sure what will happen if I connect this MBA to Mozy or TM. I am looking on the used market for a replacement 27 iMac that is running Snow. 
    iMac was nearly full 500GB hard drive
    MBA is very nearly full 80GB hard drive.

    Boot from the CCC backup then open Safari and go to the file menu and export the Bookmarks to the desktop. then copy the Safari Bookmarks.html file to a thumb drive followed by transfer to the desktop of the MBA. Use the Import Bookmarks choice when booted in the MBA.

  • Custom Icons with FAT32 USB Drive

    Hi
    I want to put a custom icon on a USB drive that's formatted to FAT32.
    When I do this with a Mac OS Extended formatted USB drive, it works fine - the icon is attached to the dive, and appears when the the drive is mounted on another Mac.
    But when I do this with a FAT32 formatted USB drive, the icon works on my desktop, but does not appear when the drive is mounted on another Mac.
    Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
    Thanks for your help.
    Bruno.

    Hmm, error -20 is:
    -20 writErr Driver can't respond to Write call
    I'm not sure why it would be doing that. I've got two PNY brand flash drives and have no problem erasing them under Tiger or Panther. You mention trying to repartition the drive. I suppose it's possible that you can't have more than one partition on a flash drive. Maybe the whole thing has to be one format type. Don't know that for sure, though. I've never tried it.

  • I have Canon Pixma mg5420 with usb to Yosemite 10.10.2, no CD drive on iMac, don't know which driver/software needed.  Thank you.

    I have Canon Pixma MG5420 with USB to Yosemite 10.10.2

    The Mac printer drivers are not included on the included CD. Just Windows.
    The Mac printer driver for this model is available from Apple. So all you need to do is connect the MG to your network or directly to your Mac and then open Printers & Scanners and click the plus button to add the printer. When you select the MG5420 you will get a prompt stating that the driver is available from Apple and would you like to download and install. Agree to this and the driver will be installed automatically for you.
    Also, this model supports printing via iOS devices so you also have the option of adding this printer using Apple's AirPrint driver, which is a basic driver for printing.
