How do you change the icons in the dock?

I want to change a few of the default icons (finder, address book) in the dock...how do i go about this?

Cocktail5555,
I finally figured out how to change the Finder icon. Heres how.
1.) Get your icon that you want for Finder and put it on the desktop. Name it "FinderIcon.icns". Make sure the name is exactly as I wrote it or it won't work (including caps).
2.) Go to: Finder/system/library/coreservices. In coreservices there is a bundle called CoreTypes.bundle. Do a right click on this and open up "package contents". Go to resources.
3.) In there, there is a file called 'FinderIcon.icns' and it has the photo of the finder icon on it. Make a backup of this (just in case it doesn't work) and name it something like "backupfinder".
4.) delete "FinderIcon.icns from Core Types.
5.) Drag your icon from the desktop into the folder (you'll have to authenticate first).
Then, download this: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/32346
That is called 'LiteIcon'.
Once that is downloaded, open it up and in the top right-hand corner there is a button called 'relaunch finder'.
Do so.
If all is right, then VOILA! your finder icon is changed!

How do you change the mail the icon that appears in the top right the header on sent messages or drafts?

Hello,
When you go to the Drafts or Sent box and select a message, above where the message is displayed is the header where the reciever/sender information is. To the right is an icon(right next to the button that says "hide"). How do you change that icon?
Much thanks,

How do you change the pink highlight for the present day in calendar when in week view

How do you change the pink highlight for the present day in calendar when in week view - OSX Maverick

the current day was light blue in ical in 10.6 but with plenty of contrast, but I recently made the bigger leap all the way to calendar in 10.9. the choice of color is terrible for reasons such as Spile1962 puts below, but also not having any way to tweak it is terrible. I'm on a bran d new imac and can barely see a difference and frankly, while I appreciate the subtlety, I still forget to look for the darker bar across the top of the current week and day. we should be able to adjust weekend and current day bg colors.
I went into the app's package contents in hopes that they were using a tiff/png file that I could tweak on my own but couldn't find anything for them. all the icons are there, as are the bg sets for all the little pop-ups and things, but I couldn't even find a reference to a hex color in the plist file.
send apple feedback. I just did myself, except that Calendar hasn't made the list (yet?), only iCal up to version 4.x, and Messages is still only iChat for feedback, and some others are old as well. apparently after steve died, apple's attention to these details just died with him. it's been that long since those other apps should have been relevant on their site.

Isn't there a way to see what channel it is on so one can choose a different channel?
Hold down the option key on your Mac while you click on the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the screen.
If you want to manually set the channel on an Apple router, you would use AirtPort Utility for this.

How can you change the display size on the task bar

how do you change the display size on the task bar

If, however, you want to change the size of the display of the menubar, meaning make the icons and text larger, there is no way to do that directly other than to change the resolution of the screen.
You can change the as-viewed size of that temporarily by using either -
• Mouse zoom - if you have a Magic Mouse (Apple wireless mouse), hold down the Control key and use the scroll up and scroll down finger gestures on the mouse.
• Zoom - go to System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing and turn on Zoom. You can also use the noted keyboard shortcut to enable/disable this Zoom feature.

Hi....How do you change the name? When I sync my iPhone, it shows my wife's name on it?

Unfortunately it is not doing it....
Let me give more details..We have 3 iPods and 2 iPhone4....I recently purchased the iPhone4 and when we connected it..It was already reading my wife's iPhone4..We went to the Apple Store at the Grove today and was told to de-authorize the system and connect my iPhone4 back and I should be able to change the name.
Nothing happened..Right now, I clicked on RESTORE settings...and it is uploading a new iPhone update.

How do you change the Apple ID for my iPhone 4. I am able to access my iTunes account using my new ID and password on my computer; however, my iphone has a different Apple ID and I do not have cannot access iTunes on this phone.

Also, if you have iCloud, you will probably also want to change the iCloud account on the phone to be yours:
Settings>iCloud - if Account is not yours, go to the bottom and Delete Account. Then sign back on with your iCloud account info.

How do you change the color of events on ICal.

How do you changed the color of events on ICal? I was able to do this when I utilized ICal on the Snow Leopard system but can no longer do this with Lion.
I know that I can select the Calanders list, but when I create a new "Calander" it doesn't allow me to choose a color and it doesn't show up in my list when working within an event.
Thanks!

Phoebe,
Right-click on the new calendar and select "Get Info."
Make sure that the ✓ mark is selected.
Then choose the color from this pane:

How do you change the default size of the print batch size for mail merge in Publisher 2010?

I appended this question to another thread with the same topic but have not received a reply, so I'll try with a new question. Publisher 2010, when doing mail merge, will only merge and print two records at a time. How do you change the default size of
the print batch size? This is for a 4 page document, 8 1/2 x 11, printed two sides on 11 x 17. I've tried all the suggestions that were in the other thread. The response that was marked as the answer by the moderator is incorrect and does not work. Nothing
suggested in that thread works. A registry fix that worked for Publisher 2003 won't work because the print batch size key does not exist in the registry for Pub 2010. At least not that I can find. Printing to an XPS document doesn't work. It asks for a filename,
prints 2 records, asks for new file name, prints 2 records, asks for new file name, and so on. The same for printing to a PDF document. Merging to a new Pub document doesn't work. When I print that job every other sheet is turned over. I.e., sheet one has
pages 1 & 3 on top, next sheet has 3 & 4 on top, and so on. This makes it impossible to run them through the folder. The same thing happens when I print that complete merged document to XPS or PDF. I have the latest drivers installed for our printer, a Toshiba
2500C copier/printer connected via network. What do I need to do to to change the batch size to something reasonable, like 100 records?

It's been two weeks since I posted this question. What does it take to get an answer? I cannot believe it's being ignored, nor can I believe that someone in MS doesn't have an answer.
