How do I change Mac desktop folder/safari pictures to registered business icons? I have tried almost everythin but none are working. First how do I capture the business icon from the website, then what?

OK, well to start with, you must have the icon file in the correct format. You need to end up with an .icns file. One of the how-to articles should tell you how to do this - iConvert will also do it.
If it is in the correct format, when you click the icon file to highlight it, and click cmd-i, you will see the Get Info window - at the top left, you should see a mini version of the icon. If you do NOT see that icon correctly, the file is not the correct format. So this will not work for a jpg or png file, for example.
Once you have this window open, go to the thumbnail, click it to highlight it blue, and click cmd-C to copy.
Go to your Safari app from the Applications folder (not from the dock), again click cmd-i to open its Get Info window, and again click its icon to highlight it blue. Now click cmd-V to paste. You will be asked for your admin password to authenticate. The icon should now become the one you've pasted in.
You may need to log out and back in for the effect to show on the application file itself.
You might also want to look into Candybar if you plan on doing a lot of icon customization.

How do I change Desktop folder properties?

I recently purchased a macbook pro. I used migration assistant to transfer all files, from my g4, via firewire. Now, when I attempt to download from the internet, I get this error message: "Downloading/users/myname/Desktop/filename could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder. Change the folder properties and try again, or try saving in a different location". How do I change desktop folder properties?

Control-click or right-click anywhere on your desktop picture, and select Get Info from the contextual menu. Then expand the Ownership & Permissions section. You need to set the drop-down menus like this:
You can: Read and Write
Owner: <your username>
Access: Read & Write
Group: Staff
Access: No Access
Others: No Access
If that doesn't work, log in as an administrator, open Terminal, and enter these commands (assuming your username is "bigalive"; change appropriately:
sudo chown bigalive:staff /Users/bigalive/Desktop
sudo chmod 700 /Users/bigalive/Desktop
That should fix it.

On new MBP I keep getting message that I need to shut down and then restart

I just got a new 13" MBP. I took the old 500GB 7200 rpm HD (which was operating perfectly) out of my old 13" white MB and put it in the new MBP. Now at boot I get as far as a gray screen, then I get a black screen with text in several languages saying that I need to shut off and then restart the computer. I went through this drill 5 times with no indication that anything was improving. I am sure that the edge card connector is fully seated on the old HD. Any ideas as to what is happening here?

The Operating System for the old and new machine is different, you can't just swap drives like that, what you're getting is a Kernel Panic.
You need to install the OS from the install discs that came with the new machine onto that hard drive. Boot from your new install DVD (hold c at start) and do an Archive Install of the OS so it saves your user data.

How do i change desktop folder?

i have all these "plain" blue folders on my desktop
Y'know where the MacIntosh HD is located
How do i make those folders into an icon?
Something exciting,maybe from a jpeg or something?
rather than plain blue or plain silver?

Ok.i followed the directions and here is the problems
Let me make it simpler for you.
1) Open 2 (two!) finder windows.
2) Go to. icon image that you want--for example, let's say you like the "applications" folder icon. Or one's you've downloaded from the sites mentioned.
3) Click on "info"
4) In the upper left hand corner there is a tiny version of the icon. Click on that (highlight it), COPY.
Next part.
1) In the other finder window, open up the folder or whatever with the icon you want to change (example, you don't like the iTune's Music folder icon).
2) Click on "info"
3) Highlight the tiny folder/icon image in the upper lefthand corner of the info box.
4) Click "Paste"--it will be replaced with the icon you copied and saved from the other folder (or whatever).
Now if you're just using a picture from iphoto, then you can save steps--you copy the picture, and highlight the tiny folder image, and paste. Photo or pictures are easy to exchange. For icons you need to take that extra "get info" step to switch out the icon image.
Does this help?

HT1212 I was given an ipod and it has been disabled and I have tried to hook it up to itunes but it won't sync....how can I reset the whole thing so I can use it?

I was given an ipod and it has been disabled and I have tried to hook it up to itunes and it won't sync

Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

I have tried several published methods for using umlauts but none have worked. I have used the IPad 2 with the screen keyboard and the Logitech keyboard, all to no avail.

I have tried several methods for using umlauts but none have worked. These include the screen keyboard and a Logitech keyboard. I tried pressing and holding an o for several seconds then (while holding the o down, pressed the o umlaut in the pop-up screen with no results.

Instead of using a second finger to press the umlaut while holding down the o key try this:
Tap and hold on the o until you see the alternate choices then slide your finger up to the umlaut.

I just got my ipod and i have networks but it wont let me make a password i have tried to find my wi-fi password but i can't is there an app where i can get wi-fi off of it please some one help me i can't do anything on my ipod

i just got a ipod and i can't find my wi-fi password im so mad i have alot of networks but it wont let me make a password and i have tried to find my wi-fi password is there an app or something that can help me get wi-fi on my ipod i feel so sad knowing that i cant even do anything with it

You need to contact the people who administer the networks to get the passwords for the networks. If there was such an app as you are asking for then passwords for wifi networks would be worthless.

HT201260 I'm trying to figure out which OS X version and build I need to completely reformat and then re-install the OS on my G4 Power PC (Quicksilver 2002)

So I've started my quest for the correct information and software required to completely erase and then re-install the OS on my G4 Power PC (Quicksilver 2002) roughly 2 days ago only to be stuck and very frustrated! So I could more than likely figure this out on own BUT the OS currently installed is so screwed up I cant even safe mode start it.. so I cant get the information I need from the "about this Mac" details if it were running. Is there another way to figure the correct OS X and build I'll need to reformat. I just want to return it to it's factory state and then give it to my kid. Anyone's help on this matter will be so very appreciated. Thanks

Be sure to look only for original or retail versions:
Original OS
Mac OS 9.2.2 (Mac OS ROM 9.0.1) and Mac OS X 10.1.2 (5P63)
Later OS
Mac OS 9.2.2 and Mac OS X 10.1.3, 10.1.5, or 10.2
Maximum OS
Mac OS X 10.4.11 (733, 800 MHz) Mac OS X 10.5.8 (933 MHz+)

I keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get it when I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon.

I've just installed Firefox on my laptop and keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get this message whenever I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon. I've never gotten it to work and even uninstalled it and then redownloaded it and still cannot get it to open. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Are you installing from the official site? http://www.mozilla.com/firefox
If you use Windows Explorer (My Computer) to check that path, is the Mozilla Firefox folder there? That is the normal installation location, but I think it's worth checking.
If the folder isn't there or firefox.exe is not in it, I wonder whether some other software might be interfering. You might want to run some supplemental security scans. These two tools are highly regarded:

How to change the InfoView logo [Favicon] from the browsers address bar.

Hi All,
I am launching an Infoview in a new web browser from the netWeaver portal through a link.
The favicon for potal is changed on the portal server.
How I can change the InfoView logo[Favicon] from the browsers address bar?
If anybody knows where that image is located on the BOE server where I can replace the icon with my company icon?
Please advise!
Awaiting Reply!
Smita Thorat

Hi,
the icon has the name favicon.ico and can be found in the root folder of the Web AS /Portal.
Favicons are images of the size 16x16 or 32x32 pixel in the Icon format (image/x-icon) and files have an .ico extension.
You can either change the standard sap favicon directly on the WebAs server wich needs might be done after each support package.
Regards,
Kai
