How to eliminate default Document, Downloads Dock icons

As I have 5 partitions, that's 10 Dock icons I don't use.
Thanks,
humanengr

Thanks -- that does most of it -- the Document and Downloads icons for all but the startup partition have not reappeared. Is there a way to permanently delete the D&D icons that belong to the startup partition?
Also, can someone please point me to detailed instructions online anywhere on Leopard? Or at least detailed instructions on new features introduced in Leopard?

Set default Documents & Downloads folder to external USB Drive?

I use both a MacPro and MBP and would like to have the system folders Documents & Downloads defaulted to my USB external drive. How do I go about changing the location? Thanks.

Plug the drive in
Copy your folder to the external drive
Before you proceed, make sure all your files are there and intact
Navigate to <your user name> in the sidebar and delete the original folder from there
Go to the external drive, right click on the folder and make an alias
Drag this alias to <your user name> directory then rename it by removing the "alias" from the end if you wish
Don't forget to check Safari etc. is pointing to the new alias folder
Notes:
You can try this on a blank folder first to make sure it works
<your user name> folder is in your <Boot Drive>/Users/ folder
If you boot up without the drive attached you'll get an "Alias could not be found" error when trying to open the folder.
If you're terminal savvy this could be done the same way by a softlink to your directory on the external drive once you've copied it over.

How can I change web page dock icon?

I have dragged a couple of my favorite web pages to the dock, so I can access them quickly. Both icons look the same --- the gray @ on top of a spring. Is there a way to change these so I can tell them apart more easily? With only two, I can remember which is which, but as I add more, it will be more confusing. Thanks.

Right, so it looks like you opened the Info window for the generic URL link icon.
Unfortunately, you can't simply make it the CNN (or whatever web site) icon. You have to find another distinguishing icon. There are web sites where you can download Mac icons. You have to find an icon you like that, for you, will represent that web site link you want to put in your Dock.
http://interfacelift.com/icons-mac/
http://iconfactory.com/home
and some more here
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/icons_screensavers/
When you find that icon, do a Get Info on that icon file like you did earlier for the URL link file. Put the two Info windows side by side. On the Info window with the icon you like, click on the icon at the top of the window so that it has a thin blue line around it. Copy it, using File -> Copy or cmd-c on the keyboard. Now click on the icon you don't want in the other Into window so that it has a thin blue line around it. Paste it, using File -> Paste or cmd-v on the keyboard. The icon should change to the one you want. If you then drag it (the file with new icon) to the Dock, it will appear as the icon you liked and selected.

What is it that makes the Downloads dock icon bounce?

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a script?
And more importantly: can I copy the behavior with other dock icons?
Many thanks, as always, people.

Alex,
I had no other way to get in touch other than post on this thread. I would like to discuss with you an archived thread you started concerning the Pirelli router, WDS, and Airport Express.
I am in Athens as well and have a similar issue. So far, I am concluding that the Pirelli WDS protocol is different than the Apple. I cannot seem to solve the problem of extending the network using an Airport as a remote access point. Can you advise?
Cheers, Stuart

How can I make a new Dock Icon which when clicked has apps inside

I just seen a Youtube video for something and on the video it had a dock icon of iLife 09, and when clicked it had all the iLife 09 apps, iPhoto, imovie etc in the icon like stacks. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahiXGtP3bGA, about 22secs in he click its)
i would like to do this and then I'd be able to remove the individual iLife 09 apps from my dock for space.
Can someone help me on this please. I have leopard v10.5.8
cheers

Create a folder anywhere convenient. Place in it aliases to the iLife programs. Drag it to the Dock.
If you want it to show with an icon rather than the generic folder icon, do this before dragging it to the dock:
Select the program which has the icon you want to use, e.g. GarageBand. Hit command-i. In the top left-hand corner of the info pane which opens is the icon for Pages. Click this to select it and hit command-c. Close the pane.
Select your folder: hit command-i. At the top left of the pane you will see the folder icon: click this to select it and his command-v. Now you can drag your folder to the Dock.

How can i make my Downloads folder icon in Dock bounce again?

I accidentally removed my downloads folder from the Dock and when I added it back onto the Dock, it would not bounce when i downloaded something.
Before I removed it from the dock, it would always bounce whenever i download something and the thing i downloaded would appear on the icon. How can I get this setting again?

Note if you don't have any folders on your Dock, note the trashcan is on one side of the dock with a divider between it and applications. Minimized windows (with the yellow button on the upper left corner) will go between the trash and that divider. You can drag folders into the section between the minimized windows and the trash.

How to navigate to Documents, Downloads, etc in bootcamp ?

Hello,
Just a quick question. I was wondering how you would go about navigating to the documents folder from within bootcamp on your mac partition. I see that you can go and open up your mac partition folder in My Computer but I don't know how to get to the places I need to go. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hey,
In the users folder I see a folder that has my username on it, with nothing in it, and a folder that says shared with sc info folder. Don't see anything with the "short name" of my Mac OS X account.

How to change Default document size for CC Library Graphics (InDesign)

Good morning --
I have just discovered the amazing uses of the CC Library setup in InDesign and would love to be able to use it as a tool to collaborate template galleries amongst coworkers.
I work in an industry that offers many different templates for our Marketing pieces available to the sales team. What we have in place right now is about 50+ different templates in their own packaged files. Now, this isn't all that difficult to maneuver around, but the CC Library has made it so I can "drag and drop" templates into place. This drag & drop feature is easy enough for me to grasp, and with the proper training it should be with the rest of the team (should being the keyword). However, in some cases if you double-click on Library graphic it opens the file in it's own editable file with a custom document size of 8.5x11 Portrait (which I imagine to be the internal InDesign preset).
My questions therefore are when I double click on the library "Graphics" can the document size be anything other than 8.5x11? Can each Graphic have it's own document preset?
- If I open a file that is set for landscape, all of the "Graphic" falls off of the spread.
- Some "eblasts" are much longer than 8.5x11 (sometimes as much as 8.5x20), thus knocking some of the "Graphics" into that weird space area.
Please let me know if I am not being a clear enough.
Thank you!
Steve

@Steve – you are totally clear what you are doing and what you like to do.
But I fear an automatic setting that is creating the page size according to an asset's size does not exist right now.
I can change the size of a new document beforehand, if no document is open and create a new size in the document's properties dialog with the keyboard shortcut alt + cmd + p (in my German InDesign on Mac OSX 10.7.5). But you have to know in advance what size that should be.
Example: If I chose A3 instead of A4 (my default) when no document is open and double click an asset in a CC Library the asset will be placed in a one page document sized A3.
1. Changing the size (no document is open) in my German UI of InDesign CC-2014.2:
2. Double click and the result is according to the settings I made:

How to eliminate default text in Photo Mail creations

Every time I create a Photo Email in PSE 11 the email appears in my email client with this text added to it: "Here are the files that I want to share with you". I do not what this text and I have to select it and delete it for every email I create. Is there any way to change and/or eliminate this text permanently within the PSE files?
I found the text in the following file, but eliminating it from that file did not stop it from displaying. How can I get rid of this unwanted message?
I've searched this website and even Googled on this but cannot find an answer to such a simple request.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide!

What you are changing through that text file is only the subject of email.
The only way to change the body of the mail is to delete and retype. Sorry.
Thanks

In Yosemite, how to keep all documents in Dock from popping up when one is opened

If I have several Illustrator documents in the dock, and open one of them, they all pop up. Is there a way to prevent this?
[Moved from the generic Cloud forum to the specific Program forum... Mod]

The same happens in Mac OS 10.8.5.
Edit:
It seems turning OFF "Open Documents as Tabs" in "Prefs>User Interface" fixes the problem for me.

How to remove OS X executable dock icon?

Hello everybody,
I have a java application built with Eclipse, for Mac OS X. This app is installed via a .pkg file, and supposed to be daemonized. Everything works fine with Macbooks. But when I launch it (sudo launchctl start blabla.plist) on iMacs (I have tried with two of them), i have an osx executable icon on the Dock.
It has been several days I'm trying to find a solution for this, and I've already tried with either setting LSUIElement to true or to 1 (string) in the Info.plist, but, still, no luck.
Here is an image with the icon (the one which isn't blurred):
Informations (assuming the app name is testapp)
When I double click on the executable (in /Applications/testapp/testapp.app/Contents/MacOs/testapp) i have the testapp.app in the Dock (with the icon file specified in the Info.plist). Here is a screenshot: res.cloudinary.com/doit0eqlo/image/upload/v1400750376/app_k3adzh.png
What can I do? Thanks for your help.
If it can help, there are the specifications of one of the iMacs I've tried the application on:

in that case this app might help you

How can i get document download count on UCM

Hi experts,
I need to get ucm content download count by using API? Is it possible to obtain this?
Bgrds

Thx for your quick reply. We use middleware11.1.1.6.
Besides we are ignoring accessing by HTPP requests. Application is being access contents via RIDC API. Content access count of these access (actually no matter based on user, group nor another one in my case) just totally could be enough for us. In other words, my custom application webpage needs to show TopTen Usage/Access Contents on ucm. Is that expectaion in YES group?
I googled abit regarding to your mentioned about ContentTracker component and link you shared. Looked at ucm/cs Administration/SystemAuditInformation/ComponentResports navigation and i see below. I think we need to enable that. For now i dont know how to.
