I downloaded the weather channel - how do I get on my desktop
I downloaded the weather channel - how do I get on my desktop as an icon?
If you downloaded it on the iPad, the icon should be there somewhere. If you downloaded the app in iTunes on your computer, you have to select it to sync in the apps tab of iTunes and sync it to the iPad.
Search the iPad if you did download direct. Look in all of your folders and on all screens. Do a search with Spotlight to be sure. GO to the home screen, swipe to the right, type the app name in the search field at the top and hit search on the keyboard to confirm that it is on the iPad.
If it is on the iPad and you want to move it to the home screen, tap and hold down on the icon until it wiggles, then hold down on the icon and drag it to the edge of the screen - about half way over - and hold it there until it jumps to the next screen. Keep doing that until you get it to the screen that you want it on. When you are done, tap the home button and the apps will stop wiggling. -

How do I get Adobe Air Desktop App to notify user that a URL text file has been updated?
How do I get an Adobe Air Desktop App to notify user that a URLRequest ".txt" file has been updated? via blinking system tray icon or something.
New to Air and need someone to point me in the right direction. I have been searching web for hours and probably not asking the question right.
I have a very simple Desktop App that just loads a text file from a web location into a dynamic text field at a set timer. it just repeats this action on the timer. right now every 5 minutes
What would the actionscript be to tell the Air App to look at the date or time stamp of the ".txt" file and notify user if its new?

How do I get to the desktop quickly?
When I have a stack of windows active on screen, I can pick a window by squeezing the side of the mouse. But in this mode, I cannot select any icon that is on the desktop. Is there a shortcut to hide all windows temporarily to expose the desktop? It is easy to do the same on MS Windows. I bet I can do the same on the Apple. I just don't know the trick.
TIA for helping.Hi LaiPod,
try either F9 (function key) or install ASM. With ASM you can simply click anywhere outside an application window to get to the desktop/hard disk window.

How can I get to the desktop?
Can't get to the desktop. When I press the Start button, or the combo Command-Ctrl-Start I get the musical cord but no desktop. I always shut it down with the Shut Down command from the Apple menu. Could this be another motherboard problem? The motherboard was replaced in 2007 by an Apple technician. Does a MB only last 2 years? Is there any way I can recover files? There are quite a few I really need. I'm a photographer and can't replace those files.
Anne,
1. It's unclear from your post: Does anything show up on your monitor? If not, check your connections.
2. It could be a motherboard problem, but the happy mac sound would indicate that it isn't.
3. Yes, it is possible to recover files. How old is your hard disk? Have you backed up your files? If your had disk has failed, recovering your files can get expensive.

How can I get such a desktop style?
Hello,
yesterday I installed xorg and fluxbox the first time on my computer. Before I used arch linux only with console and because of that the style wasn't so important
But now I want a nice Desktop with fluxbox and I found a picture from a really nice one:
http://www.boxwhore.org/modules/wfdownl … /alssi.png
I downloaded the the theme, but my terminal emulator isn't transparent! Which terminal emulator is used on this machine and how can I get it transparent?
And which file manager ist that?
An other newbie question:
The font DejaVu Sans 9 is used on the desktop, which you can see on the picture! I configured xorg.conf to use freetype fonts but I don't know how I can change the font in fluxbox. At the moment my font size is to small. I want a larger size and a more eye candy font like "Dejavu Sans"
Thanks for you hints!
Greetings,

The Fluxbox menu (which clearly seems to be a homebrew one) states that it might be Eterm . -
HT3964 How can I get back the desktop icons?

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

All DONE
Good tips. I was actually trying to restore my icons.
However, having reactivated the icons I'm now kept awake at night by the flashing blue light which comes in to the bargain.
Is there anyway of having the icons on my desktop but disabling the flashing light when the phone goes on to standby? -
How Do I get icons image directory to work in a JAR file?
Yes, I must admit after going through the tutorial and other stuff I am stiil stumped
I have an application that uses the jlfgr icons for the toolbar, and it works fine as long as i actually run it from the directory that it is in.
I would like to put in into a jAr file, and be able to execute it from other places.
I have a Directory named PhoneBook
in that are the classes I use
AddressBook - the main class
PersonEntry - The 'data class'
and various other things like FileFilters.....
inside that directory there are two more:
images - contains all the icon images
Data - where the default 'database' entries are stored.
I use code like this:
private void fillToolBar( JToolBar bar )
Dummy = new JButton(new ImageIcon("images/New16.gif"));
Dummy.setActionCommand("New");
Dummy.addActionListener(this);
Dummy.setToolTipText("New");
bar.add( Dummy );
// etc etc
to get all the icons into the toolbar
I have made a Jar file that has all the classes and all the directorys with the icons in it
and so the program runs, but does not get the icons for the toolbar, I just get a whole load of 'dud' buttons.....
AS this is the first time i've ever got the GUI to look right rather than just the code functioning properly
I'd like to get the whole thing in a working Jar file
So Could someone show me Step By Step, How I get my classes and images into a Jar file
so that i can from a different directory go
java - jar Phone.jar
and have the GUI come up with all the images, assuming I'm totally thickheaded when it comes to Jar files.?
I also can't get the images to show up if I merely run the 'program' from another directory than the one it is compiled in
I can get the program to run, just not access the images with something like
java -cp blah/blah/blah AddressBook
{the main class is AddressBook }
the data directory can be anywhere as I use a JFileChooser to allow the user to open and save desired files.
I really would appreciate some clear workable help. {though I'm running out of Duke Dollars...}What you need is a correct path to the directory
inside of the jar. This can be accomplished by adding
a line to your main program like this:
URL
url=myProgram.class.getResource("images/New16.gif");
Dummy = new JButton(new ImageIcon(URL));
where myProgram.class is the name of the class
file that contain the main method.
Hope this helps....
;o)
PS: I don't want your dukes...I got them coming out of
my ears!
O.K, that works thank you.
I put something like:
for all the 'buttons' in the toolbar
URL url = null;
Class ThisClass = this.getClass();
url=ThisClass.getResource("images/New16.gif");
Dummy = new JButton(new ImageIcon(url));
Dummy.setActionCommand("New");
Dummy.addActionListener(this);
Dummy.setToolTipText("New Database");
bar.add( Dummy );
etc for all the rest of the 'buttons'
After Reading the API docs on URL's etc I'm still not sure as to why it works, but it does....
I am able now to place the class files in a jar along with the images and it all works fine
although now I don't quite follow all my code....................
I assume that
url=ThisClass.getResource("images/New16.gif");
returns some sort of 'relative url ' ???
Thanks for the help though. -
In the past I had icons on my toolbar for my Yahoo email, You Tube, Face Book, and a lot of other sites that I use a lot, but I can't find where to get them to add to my firefox tool bar.
Also I have a lot of plug ins that I'm not sure I need, is there any way you can tell me what I need or don't need to keep?I disabled acceleration in the flash player by linking to http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Troubleshooting and scrolling to the line that specifically outlined my problem - split horizontal screen with green line - clicked on the flash link then right clicked the flash icon and ticked disable acceleration.
I also uninstalled and reinstalled more programs then I probably need to.
We will see how long it lasts* site explains it may not be permanent
