How to get a pic as folder icon

Working with OSX Mavericks 10.9.1. Can't update b/c I'm not an admin.
We know how to make a new folder, and then change its icon by going into the Get Info panel, and dragging an object on the desktop into that upper section.
When we do this with a jpeg, what happens is that the icon of the new folder becomes the default icon for a jpeg. Is there any way to change the folder icon into the thumbnail of that specific jpeg?

Not that I've ever found. The typical way with OS X is the Get Info method. However, I've never heard of dragging an object on the desktop into the icon field. Normally, you copy the icon of one Get Info box to the other. The problem with Photoshop CC and later (CC 2014), is that there is no longer a resource fork with the files it saves, so the icon in Get Info is always generic. PS 6 and earlier have an icon that can be copied from one object to another.
So anyway, the correct way is to have the Get Info box open for each item; the source icon, and the folder you want to apply it to. Click the icon you want so it has a blue highlight box around it. Press Command+C. Go to the folder's Get Info box and highlight its icon field. Press Command+V. Only that folder will show the new icon as it's folder picture. It shouldn't affect anything else.

    You don't, unless you disable the Camera app entirely.
    It's such a nuisance...
    Really, how so?
    I don't want people going into my photos or my iphone!!
    If you add a passcode to your iPhone as you should, then there's no way they can see anything in your iPhone.  Of course, if the passcode is set but not enough time has elapsed that's different -- but that has nothing to do with this icon.

    Select all the photos that you need to change, then click the "Photos" menu and choose "Adjust Date and Time".
    If you add a year, it will adjust all the photos that you selected by adding a year (so if you accidentally select one of the photos that already has "2012", that will change to "2013"). 

  • Can anyone tell me how to get my pics from iPhoto to Adobe Photoshop Elements?

    Can anyone tell me how to get my pics in iPhoto into Adobe Photoshop Elements?

    Are you talking about iPhoto for iOS or iPhoto on your Mac?
    If iPhoto for iOS export the photo to iTunes. Then sync with your Mac and drag the photos out of the file sharing section of iTunes on your Mac. Then open them in Adobe Photoshop Elements.
    If iPhoto on your Mac then export the photos. I believe that's Menu > File > Export.
    Select export at full resolution and choose a location for the files. Once they have been exported you can open them in Adobe Photoshop Elements.

  • How to get path or parent folder

    Hello
    I'm overriding method extendedPreAddRelationship on class S_Relationship.
    My purpose is to check whether the document is being put in the correct path or not.
    I can get folder name and document name using following code:
    AttributeValue av;
    av = def.getAttribute(Relationship.LEFTOBJECT_ATTRIBUTE);
    S_PublicObject folder = (S_PublicObject) av.getPublicObject(this.getSession());
    av = def.getAttribute(Relationship.RIGHTOBJECT_ATTRIBUTE);
    S_PublicObject document = (S_PublicObject) av.getPublicObject(this.getSession());
    What I need is the whole path (or at least the parent folder). Can I get path somehow? Or should I try to search parent folders?
    Jaska

    My purpose is to check whether the document is being put in the correct path or not.Hi,
    I had a similar problem - I needed to compare the path of current folder with path from parameters. Because I wasn't be able to get the path of folder, I did it in reverse way, comparing the folders. To get folder from path I needed getRootFolder method, which wasn't in server-side classes, so I extend S_TieFolder class:
    * Analogy of LibrarySession.getRootFolder().
    public static S_Folder getRootFolder(S_LibrarySession session)
    throws IfsException
    S_Folder folder = null;
    try
    Collection c = session.getValueDefaultCollection();
    S_ValueDefault vd = (S_ValueDefault)c.getItems("RootFolder");
    AttributeValue av = vd.getPropertyValue();
    folder = (S_Folder)av.getPublicObject(session);
    catch(Exception e)
    throw new IfsException(21020, e, session);
    return folder;
    In extendedPreAddItem method of S_TieFolder:
    S_Folder paramFolder = (S_Folder)getRootFolder(session).findPublicObjectByPath(folderPath);
    if( this==paramFolder ) ...

  • 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 do I change my Bookmark Folder icons? I'm on Windows 7 Home Basic 64-bit.

    I tried making a "userChrome.css" file and placing it on the default folder with this code inside:

    -moz-image-region: rect(0px 32px 32px 0px) !important;
    }</nowiki></pre>
    But it doesn't seem to work. Is it because of my OS? How do I do it if so?
    Source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLFAm9CdFHg and a bunch of other forums.

    Try using a '''jpg''' or '''png''' image rather than the '''''ico''''' image.
    Also, get rid of the spaces in the image name ''(mentioned by '''diegocr''')''. You are better off with a name like '''santoni-s_place.jpg''' than using %-number code for spaces and punctuation marks. Using those in cross OS applications is asking for problems.

  • How to get rid of dupe music icons on iPhone, one with cloud, one without?

    After getting a replacement iPhone, restoring from backup, and re-syncing, I have dupe entries for every song on the phone.  One has a cloud icon and one doesn't.  These weren't there before!  What happened, and how can I get rid of all these dupes (there are thousands)?
    -- I don't see dupes in my library, nor on my iPad, nor in "On This iPhone" from iTunes... just on the phone itself. 
    -- The dupes exist even after syncing.
    -- I tried deleting all music storage on the phone and re-syncing, but I still wind up with dupes, one with the cloud and one without.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    unsync the music from the phone. the songs with clouds are 'itunes in the cloud' which you download from the cloud server
    the reason you don't see them in 'on this iphone' is that they're not technically on the phone nor are they taking up capacity yet
    when you unsync your music, the songs with clouds should remain. you download them by tapping the clouds
