How do I use one of my photos for the desktop background?

I have a photo which I would like to have as my desktop background. How do I accomplish this?

Hi leduckmrb,
Are you talking about your computer desktop? If so, that isn't a Firefox thing at all. You'll have better luck looking at the [http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/display_change_desktop_background.mspx?mfr=true Microsoft documentation].
Hopefully this helps!

How do I use one of my photos as my wallpaper from the iPhoto app?

Hi, As the heading says - How do I use one of my photos as my wallpaper whilst using the iPhoto app please.

Obvious to you and me who are paying attention, but actually, if you look through the post topics, many people confuse iPhoto for iOS with iPhoto for the Mac.

Help needed. I have a 3TB external hard drive partitioned into 1TB's. I used one partition as backup for the main computer hard drive. But now it is greyed out as shown in the disk utility and its name changed, i dont know how that happened, i tried verifying and repairing it but had no luck. I also tried mounting and unmounting it but still no solution. Anyone to help please?

Looks bad. I would strongly advise backing up the stuff on the other two partitions as soon as possible in case the rest of the drive goes wrong.
Beyond that, Disk Utility has limited abilities to repair disks, DiskWarrior uses a different approach and might, emphasis might be more successful. It has certainly done the job for me in the past when Disk Utility could not.

HT4859 How do I keep one Apple ID account for the family, yet have different iCloud accounts for calendar, email, etc.??

How do I keep one Apple ID account for the family, yet have different iCloud accounts for calendar, email, etc.??

First decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the others, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Once all your devices have their on iCloud accounts, to un-merge the data you will have to go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting your son's contacts from your account, and vice versa).
You should also use separate Apple IDs for services such as iMessage and FaceTime. Otherwise, you're likely to end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls. If you need to change these, for iMessage go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID (such as the one just created for iCloud). For FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

How to re-use one SOAP Sender Channel for two different messages?

Hi!
I have an XI Proxy to SOAP Sync Scenario. 5 messages uses only 2 channels - cc_XI_Sender and cc_SOAP_Receiver. All messages comes from one Sender Channel and goes to one Receiver channel, and it works fine.
When I make the same for SOAP to XI Proxy Sync Scenario, I've got a problem. For example I have 2 different messages (mi_so_MSG_ONE and mi_so_MSG_TWO), so it works, if I had a two different sender channels (cc_SOAP_R1 and cc_SOAP_R2).
If I set the same Sender Channel in both Sender Agreements (cc_SOAP_R1), only one message (mi_so_MSG_ONE) goes without errors. When I send a second message (mi_so_MSG_TWO), in SXMB_MONI this message comes from Business System (BS_TEST) as message type one (mi_so_MSG_ONE), and then in stage of transformation in Interface Determination goes to message mapping program for other kind of messages (MM_MSG_ONE_to_XI_PROXY). And then - error in message mapping.
I try many URLs for both messages:
1) http://host:port/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:BS_TEST:cc_SOAP_R1&version=3.0&Sender.Service=&Interface=
2) http://host:port/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:BS_TEST:cc_SOAP_R1&version=3.0&Sender.Service=BS_TEST&Interface=*
3) http://host:port/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:BS_TEST:cc_SOAP_R1&version=3.0&Sender.Service=BS_TEST&Interface=...MyNameSpace...mi_so_MSG_TWO
Message in payload:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>

<MSG_TWO xmlns="urn:xxx:yyy:MyNameSpace" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">... some fields... </MSG_TWO>
But in SOAP Header I see that is NOT second message!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>

Is it correct that many kinds of messages cannot goes through one Sender Channel ? If not... How can I reuse one SOAP Sender Channel for both this messages?
Thanks for helping.

Thanks for answers!
It means a webservice application will be deployed and exposed in PI using the associated Message Interface and its namespace information in the SOAP Sender channel.
It means only one Sender Channel per one pair of names (name of Message Interface and name of namespace). And it will fail if I change something. And question is: why URL for sending SOAP message contains parameter "Interface"?
"backward compatibility" or "for future use only"?
Nothing happens when I change this parameter, seems that name of Interface comes from first of founded Sender Agreements.
If the structures are the same
No. Structures are different.
Making one structure per all SOAP incoming messages looks workable, but... looks strange (in fact I have a lot of SOAP messages, more than 100 Sender channels).
I found an information, that I can use one Sender channel per many messages with different structures only if I make this messages like different Operations in one Service Interface (in PI 7.1).
But in this case in list of messages in SXMB_MONI I will see only a one name of Service Interface for all my messages and it's not so comfortably for supporting: to take a name of operation that fails I need to goes inside.
In older version of XI (prior 7.1) using one sender channel per many messages allowed without any hints.

How do I create a new .DS_Store file for the Desktop?

I have an account, in this case it is the System Administrator account (which I seldom use), where the Desktop icons all scrunch up to the right side of the screen. I can re-arrange them, but when I log out and sign back on, the icons are shifted back to the right side of the screen. I thought perhaps I had a corrupted .DS_Store file that needed to be removed. However, it turns out that I can find no .DS_Store file to remove for this account. Finder just doesn't seem to be able to create a new one. I'm not sure how or when the old one disappeared.
Any suggestions how I can get the Finder or something else to create a new .DS_Store for the Desktop so that icons will stay put?

I think I found an answer (not a solution) to my problem. Consulting with Apple Support, there is no way for the System Administrator's desktop to "remember" the positions of icons from one session to the next. They will always move to the right-hand side of the screen when you log back in. Apparently this is a change that occurred with OS 10.6.4. No reason by Apple given for the change, nor is it readily apparent to me why the Desktop or Finder in the System Admin account should work any differently than in any other account. Might simply be an oversight or a bug.
If anybody has a fix, I would appreciate learning about it.

How can I use my Mac OS X for the next time

Dear sir,
Please, I need your help about Mac OS X and how can I use the OS for the next time I mean when I'm going to format my computer or to use for the another computer.
By the way... I already installed the Mac OS X to my MacBook Pro so please I'm waiting for you advice.

Hi,
He bought the iMac two years after mine.
Would his Mac still be under warranty? It sounds like it is about only a year old and so may be still eligible for phone support, though that may depend on having nearby access to an Apple Tech support.
He could get a replacement disk sent to him as well. The cost, I don't know.
Your disk would probably work, but you don't need to burn one; just use yours. If you are in two locations, then it would be better for Apple to mail him a replacement disk for his particular Mac.

How can I use one external hard drive for both Time Machine and iPhoto Library?

I have been using a 1 TG LaCie external hard drive for Time Machine backups. My (older) Mac has 160 GB and is almost full. I would like to move my iPhoto Library to the external hard drive, but I've heard Time Machine doesn't share one space well. Should I
1. create another partition (but will this erase what I've already saved) with Disk Utility? *I am running Snow Leopard*
2. create another volume to use for iPhoto, and if so, should the two volumes be of equal size?
3. leave it with one partition and move the iPhoto Library to the same partition with Time Machine back ups?
I know I don't need the entire 1 TG for back up of 160 GBs. Please advise the best path to take. Thank you!

You are getting incorrect information from your ASP. If you look at drive specifications the heat generated is no different for high vs low capacity drives.
I have upgraded the internal drive in my iMac 2007 with a 3TB Hitachi drive without any heat issues or other problems.
Larger hard drives have higher density platters so to access any given amount data the drives travel a shorter distance. Higher capacity drives should therefore run cooler than lower density drives because the drive spends less time spinning to access data.

How do I use a UNIX environment variable for the path of a file name

We are running Forms 6i over the web. The forms server runs on a UNIX (HP-UX) machine.
I want to read the contents of a file, which is simple enough, using the TEXT_IO package. However, I want to reference a UNIX environment variable that specifies the file path i.e
PROCEDURE get_file IS
in_file Text_IO.File_Type;
linebuf VARCHAR2(1800);
filename VARCHAR2(200);
BEGIN
filename:= '$LOG_DIR/RCAS181.log';
in_file := Text_IO.Fopen(filename, 'r');
.....other stuff
Notice the filename string references my unix env variable '$LOG_DIR'. However, this doesnt work. If I put the full pathname it works fine.
Any suggestions ?

Have a look at TOOL_ENV.GETVAR()

How can i use one SQL statement to solve problem?

How can i use one SQL statement to solve the question below?
For a Table named A, there is a column named F(char type).
Now select all the records where F like '%00' and update their F value to '%01'
Just one SQL statement.Do not use PL/SQL block.
How to do that?
Thanks.

What is the data volume for this table?
Do you expect lots of rows to have '%00' as their value?
Following two statements come to mind. Other experts would be able to provide better alternatives:
If you have index on SUBSTR(f, 2):
UPDATE A
SET    f = SUBSTR(f,
                  1,
                  length(f) - 2) || '01'
WHERE substr(f,
              -2) = '00';If most of the rows have pattern '%00':
UPDATE A
SET    f = SUBSTR(f,
                  1,
                  length(f) - 2) ||
           DECODE(SUBSTR(f,
                         -2),
                  '00',
                  '01',
                  SUBSTR(f,
                         -2));

Using Photos (iPhoto) as Desktop Background and system startup time

I've been beating my head against the wall trying to figure out why my iMac is taking longer and longer to boot (mostly after software updates).
My stopwatch shows a little over 3 minutes from chimes until there is a usable UI.
Through process of elimination, I finally found the problem. We have over 24,000 pictures in iPhoto, and like to cycle through them as the desktop background. The problem with wanting to do this is OSX seems to have to enumerate through all 24,000 before it selects a "startup background", which takes around 2.25 minutes. Not bad, considering, but still an awful startup experience. I was starting to think I was running Vista or something.
Wondering if anyone else had run across this and if there was any known workaround, short of picking another style of desktop background?

I keep my favorite photos in a separate wallpaper folder. I select my photo for the desktop manually, but I wonder if you could not set up a folder of favorites and rotate among these. Perhaps with fewer photos in a folder, your computer would not have to take so much time going through them all.

How Do I Use One PC (Windows) To Run iCloud Photo Stream for Two Users?

How Do I Use One PC (Windows) To Run iCloud Photo Stream for Two Users? I and my wife have two Iphones (iOS 6.1.4) and we want to have use 2 iCloud accounts for one PC.

Disregard the question. The solution has nothing to do with any "Firefox bug". Turns out that my session wasn't being managed properly. Or rather, I was accidentally deleting other users' information when new users logged in. So if I had user 1 and user 2, and user 2 logged in after user 1, some of user 1's information would be deleted, resulting in the errors.
Oops; sorry about the false alarm. :)
(Was hoping to retract the question, but it looks like others have a similar problem.)

My husband and I both have iPhones . How do I use one account for purchases and keep the email separate when using iCloud?

My husband and I both have iPhones . How do I use one iTunes account to share music, photos and apps, and keep our email accounts separate since all data will use the iCloud function.

You shouldn't be using the same account on phone iphones. Have him setup his own and make sure his iCloud is logged in with that one

I have 2 photo albums on my iPhone that i want to delete. One is called "Photo Library" the other is called "iPhonePics". I cannot delete any of the photos in either album. How do I delete the photos and/or the albums?

I have 2 photo albums on my iPhone that i want to delete. One is called "Photo Library" the other is called "iPhonePics". I cannot delete any of the photos in either album. How do I delete the photos and/or the albums?

You can uncheck multiple songs by selecting all the songs you want to uncheck, then right-click and choose "uncheck selection". Also, make sure that you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos" on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings or the sync process will ignore your selections.
You can remove all the photos from your camera roll using Preview on your Mac. Connect your phone to your Mac, open Preview, go to File>Import from iPhone. When your photos appear in Preview, select the photos you want to delete, then click on the icon at the bottom showing the red circle with the diagonal line through it (see image below), then click Delete.
To remove photos from the Photo Stream album on your phone you'll have to either reset Photo Stream (deleting all the photos from iCloud) or turn off Photo Stream on your phone.

How can I use ONE Text search iView to event/affect mutliple Result Sets?

hello everyone,
i have a special situation in which i have 6 flat tables in my repository which all have a common field called Location ID (which is a lookup flat to the Locations table).
i am trying to build a page with a free-form text search iView on Table #1 (search field = Location ID). when I execute the search, the result set for Table #1 is properly updated, but how do I also get Result Set iViews for Tables #2-6 to also react to the event from Text Search for Table #1 so that they are updated?
i don't want to have to build 6 different text search iViews (one for each table). i just want to use ONE text search iView for all the different result set tables. but, in the documentation and iView properties, the text search iView doesn't have any eventing.
if you have any suggestions, please help.
many thanks in advance,
mm

hello Donna,
that should not be a problem, since you are detailw with result sets and detail iviews because custom eventing can be defined for those iviews.
Yes, it says "no records" found because an active search and record selection havent' been performed for it (only your main table does).
So, yes, define a custom event, and pass the appropriate parameters and you should be fine.
Creating a custom event between a Result Set iView and an Item Details iView is easy and works. I have done it.
See page 35 of the Portal Content Development Guide for a step-by-step example, which is what I used.
For my particular situation, the problem I'm having is that I want the Search Text iView's event (i.e., when the Submit button is pressed) to be published to multiple iViews, all with different tables. Those tables all share some common fields, which is what the Search iView has, so I'd like to pass the search critera to all of the iViews.
