How do I replace the default java with a newer version?

I'm using Solaris 10 for x86 which comes with java 1.5 installed by default. I also specified that it should use the java desktop environment instead of CDE when I first logged in. I need it to use java 1.6, a JRE of which I've extracted to a directory under /opt/. I also need to remove the existing java 1.5 install. How can I do this safely?

Excuse my ignorance but I can only find the default profile in /etc/. The only contents of /home listed out with a ls -al are the . and .. directories. The only mention of the path variable in the default profile is:
export LOGNAME PATH
I am logging in as root while setting everything up.

How can I replace a *.default profile with a new one?

I had several problems with a laptop being infected with malware. As a result FireFox would not open and thus I couldn't export the bookmarks before reformating the drive. Before reformatting the drive I copied the FireFox files in user/appdata/mozilla/firefox/ both the Local and Roaming subfolders to another drive. I installed FF 4 after the reformat, replaced the *.default files in the new profile with those I saved from the old installation and got the error message " . . all ready running."

Delete the '''parent.lock''' file, if it exists in that Profile.

Since I am writing the book in Italian,how can I replace the word CHAPTER with CAPITOLO ?

Since I am writing the book in Italian, how can I replace the word CHAPTER with CAPITOLO ?

I think you need to run iBA in Italian so the templates are in that language. You can do that by switching your OS X to Italian and then reopening iBA or perhaps by using this app to just change the iBA language:

How do you replace a time capsule with a newer one

How do you replace a time capsule with a newer one?

LOL.. pull the old one out.. put the new one in. Setup the new one.. do not copy setting from the old one.. it is better to start over and never copy configuration files.. although you might get away with it.
Plug the old TC into the new one.. change it to bridge mode.
You can then access and copy old backups to the new TC if you want. Although IMHO just keep the old TC for 6months. .then wipe it and sell it or use in different role. Do start clean fresh backups on the new TC.
If that is all useless. ask the specific question and we can try for a specific answer.

How do I set the default size of a new folder?

I have finder sized the way I want for existing folders and if I do Finder > New Finder Window. These preferrences, however, do not seem to apply to new folders. Everytime I create a new folder on my desktop, and open that folder for the first time, the window size is really small and the sidebar is narrow. This is incredibally annoying. How do I set the default size for all new folders? Is there a plist file I can edit to fix this? Or an AppleScript I can run automatically in the background that fixes this? I am running Mavericks 10.9.1.

If you use the Finder's New Finder Window command (command N) to create a new window, resize it, place it where you want, and set it for icon view or however you want it. Then close it. Closing it is what sets these as the default. That should become the default for every new Finder window you create using the new window command. But if you have lots of windows open at once and then close them, the last window you close will set a new default.
There are lots of utilities that control Windows - their size and placement. I use one called Moom but there are many more.

How do I set the default Object Placement in new pages?

I often drag and drop images to pages, but the default is that these images do not move with the text.
How do I change the default for this setting? This always worked with the old pages 09...
I've tried a lot of different approaches including creating a new template or applying a new style to the objects. But it seems that the style does not affect the object placement settings at all. And the template didn't work either.
Has anybody already figured out how to do this?
Many thanks in advance!
xifle

Hello xifle, I have the same issue with pages. Indeed, it is time consuming to have to format the placement of each image I insert so that text wraps around it. Sometimes, I would need the image to float so that I can position it more effectively. Finally, wouldn't it be nice to have screen shots inserted into a pages doc scale down to a pred-determined size. We are surely hundreds of users needing this same feature. Great streamlining, but an overall weak version of Pages at the moment. Regards, Emmanuel in Switzerland

Not very relevant, but how do I replace my old router with a new one?

Recently I got a new router and I don't really know how to install it. When I first moved into my house, the guys from COX (my local internet service provider) had to come in, plug in the modem and router, go outside to the electrical box, flick some switches in there, and finally got my router working.
I'm afraid that if I unplug the wires connected to my old router and plug it into my new router, I might reset everything and the COX guys have to come again and all that.
So how do I replace the router without causing chaos?

By reading the user manual that came w/your router, contacting the manufacturer and/or visit their customer support/troubleshooting website.

why not? use LiteIcon then. it's free and is MUCH safer than mucking with system files by hand. if you insist you can do it as follows. go to /system/library/coreservices. control-click on coretypes.bundle and select "show package contents". go to contents-> resources. change the file GenericFolderIcon.icns with your own .icns file. back up the original bundle first.

How can i replace the default search engine (Yahoo...) with Google, when I write a word at the address line?

I recently installed FireFox on my new pc. Whenever I type a word, for example a name of a website, I get the yahoo search resault, instead of what I had before - to enter directly to the site, or in some cases - get the Google search results.
I would like to be able to type the website name (for example - "filefactory"), and become directed to the site itself, as it was with the previous version that I had in my former pc.
Thanks...

How do I replace 2 pantone colors with 2 new pantone colors globally? I have a 2 PMS logo with many tint variations in it . When I replace PMS in Swatches pallette. The logo does not globally replace the selected color. es

I have a 2-PMS color logo with many tints in it of the 2 colors. When I replace the swatches in the logo to new colors, they convert from Book Color to CMYK. Can the printer work with that? How can I kee it a 2-color separation?
MaryFl

This is what I understand. You have a logo in a document that uses PMS 'A' and PMS 'B' colors and you want to change to colors PMS 'C' and PMS 'D'. If this is correct there are different ways to do this, but here is a traditional way:
Make sure Select Same Tint is turned OFF in the Preferences. And all objects are unlocked in the document.
Get the two PMS (C and D) in the document's Swatches Panel.
Select PMS 'A' and bring the 'Fill' box in focus.
From the Select menu choose Same > Fill Color.
Click on PMS 'C' in Swatches panel to replace all PMS 'A' fills with PMS 'C'.
Deselect all.
Again select PMS 'A' and this time bring 'Stroke' box in focus.
From the Select menu choose Same > Stroke Color.
Click on PMS 'C' in Swatches panel to replace all PMS 'A' strokes with PMS 'C'.
Deselect all.
Similarly using the same approach replace PMS 'B' wit PMS 'D'.
If you have CS3 / CS4 and the PMS colors in the logo are easily identifiable, you can use Live Color to change the colors pretty easily.
Hope this helps!
- Neeraj
New Note: If there are gradients / blends that use these PMS colors the above approach would not work, but Live Color can.

Unable to replace the default icon with the application icon for SIS files on packaging

Hi,
I got hold of the earlier (now removed from Adobe) available Adobe Mobile Packager (the free version). Now the problem is that I see the default packager icon on my phone for my Flash Lite application. Also, the packager does not allow me to select my application icon. I have placed the desired icon in the output folder along with its svg; doesn't help either.

You mentioned that you implemented loopback merge mode. It's possible some of the settings being included in the merge are interfering with your new file associations. Have you checked to see if there are any conflicting file
associations in other GPOs that may be applying? If so, you may want to experiment with loopback
replace mode.
Also check to see if any file associations are being set in the computer configuration settings, since you are attempting to set associations in the user configuration. In a merge scenario the computer policy is processed after the user policy, and
has precedence if any of the settings conflict.

How do I set the default library with "Save As" ?

I use FIrefox. When I want to "Save As" a PDF file, the default library always resets instead of going to the last location where I saved something. How can I set the "Save As" default location to be a specific place?

Are you using the Save As command of Firefox or of Reader? If the former then it's a question more suited for a FF forum. If the latter I'm afraid the answer is you can't change it.

How can I replace an old HDD with a new larger one and keep exisiting data?

I have a 1TB Seagate Barracuda drive in my Windows 7 64-bit desktop machine. It has 3 partitions, one is the boot drive.
This drive is four years old and I would like to replace it with a new one -- probably a 3TB Barracuda. I want the new drive
to behave exactly like the old one -- not interested in upgrading to Windows 8 right now.
How would I go about cloning the old drive to the new one so that the new drive also has 3 partitions, but each one is bigger
-- three times as big, to be exact, with everything working the same as on the old drive?
I'm thinking that if I just mirror the old drive to the new (using cloning software), the new drive will have 3 smaller partitions
totaling 1TB and a big empty space of 2TB. Can I then increase the sizes of the existing partitions without destroying any data? Would the boot drive still work?
Or would it be better to create the 3 partitions of 1TB each on the new drive and then clone the old drive partitions to the
new partitions? Would the cloning software be able to do that correctly, so everything would still work? Do I need to buy partitioning software? Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.

How do I change the default site for a new tab?

I want to change the page that opens when I open a new tab. I followed the answer that was given for the "how do I change which website that opens when I open a new tab?" question (4/5/14, given by ideato to emmafrom), without success.
(The steps advised were:
In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear.Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page.
copy and paste in the search field browser.newtab.url
double-click on it and type the web page you want
Click OK, and you are OK. !)
As mentioned, this did not work. I still get a bing search page for a new tab, regardless.
Please advise.
