How can I make the icons I place on my desktop from web pages not have the Firefox icon. I want the program's icon.

When I slide the icon, with web address, over to the desktop I want the shortcut icon to be the Web site's icon not the Firefox flaming globe.
Thanks,
Steve

If you drag a link or favicon on the left end of the location bar onto the desktop to create an internet shortcut then that shortcut gets the icon of the default browser.
If you want a different icon (favicon) then you have to assign that icon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties).
You can usually get the favicon if you append "favicon.ico" to the main domain of a website (e.g. http://www.mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder or see if you can find it in "Tools > Page Info > Media".

How can I make an ant file that launches an AS project app in a debug flash player that traces to the flex console?

How can I make an ant file that launches an AS project app in a debug flash player that traces to the flex console?
Basically I like the control over the compiling process that I get by using Ant - but I really want traces to come up immediately without having to switch contexts.
I have an ant file that successfully launches a swf in the flashplayer - but I don't know how to make the flex console start displaying the trace output. I assume that I will have to point it to the appropriate trace output file - but I am not sure how to have ant even address the console. Is this possible?
Here is the the target node from my ANT file:
    <target name="launch">
        <exec executable="${FLASHPLAYER_EXE}" errorproperty="trace.output">
            <arg line="'${DEPLOY_DIR}\test.swf'" />
        </exec>
    </target>
Thanks for any thoughts, or alternatives!

For the record, I ended up using Logwatcher - it worked perfectly.

How can I make an external link (to a different folder) from the main menu?

How can I make an external link (to a different folder) from the main menu?

If the folder is outside the Muse page, you will have to insert manual HTML to define a more complex URL like e.g. ../_stuff for going one level up and then into a folder called "_stuff" The deeper you are in the hierarchy, the more ../ you will have to add to climb up.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
All iWork apps allow you to save your documents on your computer. You will be able to choose the destination when you want to save a document.
You can also disable iCloud for some apps. To do that, go to System Preferences -> iCloud, press "Options" next to "iCloud Drive" and disable the apps you want to.
If you have lost your old documents, you should have a backup that you made before upgrading to OS X Yosemite, so you only have to restore it.

How can I make a backup to an external hard drive from iPhoto if it won't open?

how can I make a backup to an external hard drive from iPhoto if it won't open? I just wan't to make a backup to my pictures not my entire computer so how does Time Machine work on that?

you could also clone the drive or volume, or just some of the user folders. look for carbon copy cloner, then enable the "use checksum to insure file integrity."
you can have multiple iPhoto Library catalogues in different locations.
Continue to use TimeMachine and make sure it has 350% or more capacity than your system and data.

Hi guys, recently had the same issue. You require an older version of Airport Utility to configure the older Airport Express. It can be found here.

How can I make a window show up in every desktop?

How can I make a window show up in every desktop so when a user switches views it's still on their screen, using Xcode, Applescript-ObjC?

hi, try this:
public static void centerWindow(Window win){
Dimension screenSizeWithSpeedBar = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
Dimension screenSize = new Dimension(screenSizeWithSpeedBar.width,screenSizeWithSpeedBar.height-25);
Dimension frameSize = win.getSize();
if (frameSize.height > screenSize.height)
frameSize.height = screenSize.height;
if (frameSize.width > screenSize.width)
frameSize.width = screenSize.width;
win.setSize(frameSize);
win.setLocation((screenSize.width - frameSize.width) / 2, (screenSize.height - frameSize.height) / 2);
It works with following arguments: JWindow, JFrame and JDialog

How can I find movies created in past versions of iMovie? They are still on you tube but I want the original higher quality versions and I can't find them anymore.

How can I find movies created in past versions of iMovie? They are still on you tube but I want the original higher quality versions and I can't find them anymore.

Paul -
I'm sorry you've lost files, but when you set up an account as Guest, there's a message that clearly states "When a guest user logs out, all information and files in the guest account's home folder are deleted". If you want an account where files are retained, you should create an Admin or Standard type.
You will need to use data recovery techniques to see if your file can be recovered. The more that you use your computer, the greater the risk that the file will be overwritten. You can contact a professional data recovery service such as DriveSavers (which will be expensive, but you can judge the value of the file) or try something like Data Rescue. The latter has a demo which you can install to determine if your file can be recovered, and then, on purchase, you can actually recover the file.
Good luck!
Matt

How can i get apps with out using credit card info because i do not have a card ?

how can i get apps with out using credit card info because i do not have a card ?

Yo Chris. I've been following your answers to different threads and quite frankly, you're very keen in answering everybody regarding this stupidity that Apple has brought upon its customers. Kudos to you. But the problem is, most of the time, in some devices, your solution doesn't work because the NONE option is not there. The same goes for me.
Meanwhile, I found a temporary workaround for the iPhone 4s, iPad 2 and iPod Touch 4th Gen.
Register a free Apple ID from the iCloud Settings.
Go to Settings>iCloud>Account>Tap Payment Information on the Storage Plan Category.
Fill in the other boxes and choose "None" on Credit Card Information.
That's it! Hope I helped those who still couldn't find the "None" Option.
Must be running IOS 5.0.1 though, else there would be no iCloud.

How can I transfer my licensed psd software to my desktop from my Mac?

How can I transfer my licensed psd software to my desktop from my Mac?

Well, your license entitles you to 2 computers. If your second one is a Mac, simply install, enter your serial number and activate.
If that computer is a PC, and it's CS6 you can apply for a platform swap.
If it's CS5 or lower, you have to buy a CS6 license for the PC or go with the $10 monthly CC Photoshop/Lightroom plan.

How can I get my movie to play that I downloaded from my ipad to my pc? It will play the bonus features, scene selection etc but not the movie

I bought some movies from iTunes to put on my ipad. I stored them in icloud and downloaded them to my pc. problem is that although the bonus features etc will play on the pc, the actual movie won't! What should I do??

What happens when you try to play the actual film ? And have you tried deleting them and (assuming that they're still in the store) redownloading them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page - or going into Edit > Preferences and on the Store tab ticking the 'show iTunes in the Cloud purchases' tick box so that they show in the My Movies part of your library with a cloud icon against it for redownloading) ?
(You can't store films in the cloud, whether they will show there for redownloading depends upon what country that you are in - and if you move countries or if the rights-holder removes them then you also won't be able to redownload them. Ideally you'd be taking a backup copy of all of your downloads, and not relying on being able to redownload them in the future.)

How can I make my interntet wireless while keeping my desktop connected?

I just got my Macbook Pro and I love it! One problem... I got airport extreme with it and I don't know how I can keep my PC desktop connected to the internet (no wireless) while having my Macbook wireless? Everyone at the Apple store just said to plug my computer in to the airport express.... What plug? I have broadband and am using an ethernet cable.... PLEASE HELP! THanks!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I do have airport extreme ^^. When i plug the ethernet from the computer to the aiport base it doesnt work because its not connect to the broadband... how can i fix this?
Apple's AirPort terminology can be a bit confusing as Apple uses the term AirPort Extreme for both their wireless cards and base stations. If you take a look at the following reference, you can confirm which AirPort you actually have. (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107908) If your AirPort Base Station has only one Ethernet port AND it's not shaped like a "flying saucer," then most likely, it is the AirPort Express Base Station (AX).
