HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE ICONS IN YOUR DOCK

I have went onto the apple site and downloaded fun icons to spice up my desktop and folders and I have been successfull in changing the folder icons but do not know how to change the icons in the dock.....can someone please help me out.....thanks in advance

here's how i do it... it may not be the most elegent way but it works.
1) download the icons you want to your desktop
2) right click on the one you want to use and select "copy"
3) go to the application (in your application folder, NOT the dock) and right click on the application, and select "get info"
4) a pop up window will open with all this stuff in it. left click on the top icon in the info pop-up window
5) go to the finder bar (the bar on the top of the desktop) and pull down Edit, then select Paste.
6) drag the old icon off the dock into the trashcan
7) drag the new icon from the application folder to the dock

Bob, how did you change the icon of your Windows drive?

CandyBar only shows my Macintosh HD in the volumes window.
I am afraid to drag it into CandyBar's volumes window as this might unmount it and cause all sorts of issues.
Thanks ... Ken

Click the icon (of the Winodws drive) and click '+I', do the same with the icon you would like to replace it with. Click the little icon [that is there when you click '+I' (its really small in the top left corner) on the icon you are going to use to make it for the Windows drive] until there is a blue highlight around it. Once it is, click '+c', now go and switch to the Windows drive & make it highlighted, and then click '+v'. You should see the icon change to the one you replaced it with.
This doesn't make very much sense but I hope it helps =)

How do you change the dates on your iphoto pictures?

You'd need an app that can edit EXIF data. You can't do that natively on an iPhone but there may be apps in the App Store that will let you do it. Take a look at Snapseed. I think it might.

HT1277 How do you change the "picture" on your e-mail header?

How do you change the little picture that is on your e-mail header? Pretty basic, but I have no idea.

You can change this in your listing in AddressBook.
Bear in mind that the only person who ever sees it is you - it does not transfer to actual email messages.

How Do You Change the Icons / Change Multiple Icons?

I've learned that to change most icons on the Mac is Getting the icon you want to change, and the icon you are changing it with. You select "Get Info" by holding "ctrl" and clicking on each icon. Then You click on the icon on the top left of the "Get Info" window. This highlights the icon, and now you can Copy it. Now you click on the icon in the other info window, and paste the icon on top of the former.
But
*How Do You Change Icons Such As the Garbage Icon?*
*Is There a Way to Change All Folder Icons At Once?*
i.e. To change the default blue folder icon, to another icon, and make it stick until that preference/setting is reset. And also have it set so the the new icon will appear when I "create a new folder."
Anything is very much appreciated.

Duplicate the audio once editing is done. In the Mixer window, apply the Fill Left effect to one audio track, and the Fill Right effect to the other. Then adjust the mixer appropriately.

How do you change the name on your computer

How do i change the name of my computer it was my friends now its mine how do i change there name to my name

Here is the information I had found, however I have never had to try. You will have the passowrd too, so the above will help for that.
For Mac OS X v10.5 or later
Enable the root user.
Log in as root.
Navigate to the /Users folder.
Select the Home folder with the short name you want to change, and rename it just like you would rename any folder. Keep in mind that the shortname must be all lowercase, with no spaces, and only contain letters.
Use the Users & Groups pane (Accounts pane in Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier) in System Preferences to create a new user with the Account name or Short Name that you used in the previous step.
Click OK when "A folder in the Users folder already has the name 'account name'. Would you like to use that folder as the Home folder for this user account?" appears. Note: This will correct the ownership of all files in the Home folder, and avoid permissions issues with the contents.
Choose Log Out from the Apple menu.
Log in as the newly created user. You should be able to access all of your original files (on the desktop, in Documents, and in the other folders of this Home).
After verifying that your data is as expected, you can delete the original user account via the Users & Groups pane (Accounts pane in Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier).
Disable the root user.
Hope this helps you

How do you change the ID of your machine?

I bought an open box Mac Book Pro from a big box retailer. It had their name as the machine ID...so now when I make connections through the App Store, notifications show that the name of the machine, not my own, is now associated with my account. How do I change the name the machine is called?

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 name of your iPhone

Is that in a setting in the phone?
Here is my scenario. I just got a phone, it had a bad wifi antenna and a funny pixel, so Apple replaced it (thank you). Since I had only had it one day, I had only done one back up in itunes. So, I decided to start from scratch and delete the backup. When I plugged in my phone for the first time, it went through the process of first time "iphone meets itunes" set up. I notice now, I just have a name of "iphone." I thought before I actually had my name "my name's iphone." Is there any particular reason that didn't happen again? How do I modify the name of "iphone" to my name?

thanks. I starred it for you. I wonder why the first phone put my name in there and this one didn't. Everthing I did was the same.
Further:
I changed it in the itunes left column. Does that name not carry over to iTunes-Preferences-Devices??

How do you change the order of your books on the bookshelf?

How do you organize your books on the shelves? Can you even organize them? What happens when you have more books than the shelf space?

Another way to sort.
Just to the left of the Edit button, you have your List view and Bookshelf view. In the List view on the bottom, you can sort by Bookshelf (same sort as your Bookshelf view), Titles, Authors or Categories. Edit button in List view is also used to sort or delete books.

How do you change the pictures in your slideshow?

I am setting up a slideshow where I will update the pictures as new projects are completed. I cannot seem to remove old pictures to install new ones.

Hi,
If you are using a slideshow in which you are not showing the thumbnails, then while changing the slideshow images you need to show the thumbnails in the design view by checking the option for it ( Please refer to this screenshot :- http://prntscr.com/4y6nco )
And then you can delete the images that you want to change by deleting their respective thumbnails and then add the new images.
Also, if all you want to change is the images used in your slideshow , then you can also use do this online after your site is published using the "In-Browser Editing feature" available in Muse.
Please refer to this link for more information on In-Browser Editing :- Adobe Muse Help | In-browser Editing of websites using Third-party Hosting Service Providers
Hope this helps
