I am trying to create a folder and save it onto my desktop but apparently I do not have permission to do so. How can I change this?

I am trying to figure out how to create a folder on my desktop. For some reason, my desktop folder is no longer available and whenever I try to set one up, an alert states that I do not have permission to create one. I don't know what to do.

I think you need to repair user directory permissions. Follow these instructions:

I followed the directions for changing the name of my iPad and it did so in iTunes but the old name remains on the actual iPad. How can I change the name on the iPad itself?

I followed the directions posted in questions/answers for changing the name of my iPad and it changed the name in iTunes but not on the actual iPad. How can I change the name on the iPad too?

On your iPad, go to settings, general, about and click on name then change it.
I did it on my iPad with iOS 5, i dont know if it works on iOS 4.3.2

When I open an e mail in firfox and It has an attachment the attachment is scaned by norton anti vi thae I cannot open it. I do not have norton on my computer. Can I change this and if so how.

Since doing firefox update when I down load an attachment from my yahoo mail it is check by Norton antivirus then I get a message that this service is unavailable.
I do not have Norton on My computer, I use AVG. So how do I change this?

CoffeehouseSchmuck,
The attachment is evidently a Word file, and the person in question evidently just clicked on the attachment in the email message. When you do this, Mail will attempt to have the associated application open the attachment.
The first problem is that only a trial version of Word is present, and the second is that the person in question is simply clicking on the attachment. First, get the attachment to the Desktop by dragging it there (or using the "Save Attachment.." button in Mail).
Once the attachment is on the Desktop, select it, then press Apple-I to open a Getinfo window for it. Use the "Open With.." pull-down to change the default application to open this type of document, then click the "Change All" button.
Text Edit will open Word documents, but the formatting might be funky. However, this should be sufficient for simply reading attachments. An iWork trial version of Pages will be able to handle it with all formatting in place, but this will only work until the trial expires.
Ideally, the person in question should acquire either MS Office or the free NeoOffice.

The apple id that comes up on my i phone is not mine and i do not have the password for it how can i change it back to mine ?

How do i change apple id without password . I have tried to change it but the email gets sent to a generic address. Can anyone please help ?
Thank you !

Apps and their updates are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them originally, regardless of whether or not you are still using this ID for iTunes. If these apps were purchased with your former husband's ID you won't be able to update them without providing the password for this ID. You will have to delete them from your phone and your iTunes library and re-purchase them using your current ID in order to stop this.

I'm getting the message, "Your Apple ID has been disabled," when I try to make a purchase. I reset my password and updated it in my account, but it still won't let me purchase anything. How can I fix this?

I am trying to import bookmarks from google account. Your drop down menu does not have the "import" option. How can I do this?

Your instructions for importing bookmarks/favorites are to click the top left Firefox button and select "import" to start the process. I don't have that option, there is not "import" in the drop down menu. How can I import bookmarks into Firefox?

You will still find it in the File menu in the Firefox 5 version that you are using.<br />
If Firefox 7 is has been moved to the Bookmarks Manager.
Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.
If you managed the bookmarks via the Google toolbar on the Google server then see:

Whenever I try to open firefox, I get this message, "A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time." I have the latest version, and do not have anything else opened. How can I fix this?

I cannot get my firefox application to open and it is not offering me any options for troubleshooting.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

HT4528 I recently downloaded the newest software and now my Iphone 4s shows the location services Icon is on all the time. How can I change this back to what we originally had or is there a fix for this?

When I downloaded the most recent software update the location services Icon showed up even thought I was not running any programs. Is this something new and is it going to drain my battery? This was not happening before the download. I am told I have to just turn off the location services biut I do use them on a daily basis and it seems to be a pain to have to shut if off everytime. Does anyone know how to fix this or am I just screwed until I upgrade the phone?

Hi Avahhava,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
As a first step, I would suggest restarting and/or resetting the iPhone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If you have tried those two things, refer to page 146 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:
iPhone User Guide
manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Cheers,

HT4528 When App Icon asks me to upgrade app, someone elses user I.D. email address is displayed and not mine. Cannot upgrade. How can i change this?

Email address not mine (user name) when i try to enter password to upgrade app on iphone 5. How do i edit user name?

Go to Settings, iTunes & App Stores, click on the Apple ID. Sign out. Click again and sign in with your Apple ID.
Is it possible that this someone in your contact list had the phone and downloaded an app for you?

Both my location on my iMac and my iPad are showing me 1500 miles away in Casper Wyoming at my previous address, how can I reset this?

I stupidly had the computer store set up my computer this last time when I made the transition to Mac. I have never donew this before and at the time bought the whole set up with a Time Capsule Airport, Wireless Printer and my iMac. We have since moved 1500 miles away and everything that want's to utilize my current locaiton places me back in Wyoming. How can I change this? I've tried resetting the wifi and done multiple other things to no avail. I know, why did I let someone else set up my system when I should have used that time to learn more about my Apple set up?

This probably has nothing to do with how the system was set up. For WiFi-only devices such as a Mac, Apple's location services go by the location of the WiFi router, not your actual location (since they have no other means for determining your location), so it seems probable that Apple's database still shows your router as being in the former location. You may need to find a friend with an iPhone and have him/her connect to your WiFi router to update Apple's database to your new location.
If your iPad is a WiFi+Cellular model and it's still showing the old location, though, then something else is amiss. Post back and we'll go from there.
Regards.

Trying to create an image and save it on file system

Hi,
I'm trying to create an image and save it in the file system :
     public static void main(String[] args) {
     int wid = 632;
     int hgt = 864;
     BufferedImage bufferedImage = new BufferedImage(wid,hgt,BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
     bufferedImage.getGraphics().setColor(Color.black);
     bufferedImage.getGraphics().drawOval(30, 30, 100, 100);
          bufferedImage.getGraphics().drawString("test me one two three",2,2);
          bufferedImage.flush();
try {
               ImageIO.write(bufferedImage,".bmp",new File("C:/MyImage.bmp"));
     } catch (IOException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
THE PROBLEM : It creates C:/MyImage.bmp on my file system, but the file is empty (size 0).
Am I missing something ?
Thanks

Try changing ".bmp" to "bmp". If that fails, try posting an SSCCE.

When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?

When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?
All of a sudden I noticed that most of the folders on my computer were no longer using the folder icon, but the generic document icon. I had to manually change back the icon being used by opening Get Info for each folder and copying and pasting the generic folder icon from some folders that remained unchanged. Now whenever I create a New Folder (right click -> "New Folder"), the icon that shows up is the generic document icon (white page with top right corner turned down). And I have to manually change it so it shows up as a folder in Finder or on my desktop. I don't know why or how this switch happened. All of the folders now on my computer look ok, but I need to change the default so when I create a New Folder it uses the correct icon.
I have also Forced Relaunch of my Finder and rebooted the system. I downloaded Candybar but am not sure what will fix anything, so I haven't proceeded.
Anyone know how I can do this? Thanks.

Anyone?

Create an action to do the crop and user the image processor to batch process your RAW files and have it use your cropping action in the process.

Why is the folder strukture based on the import date, and not on the Creation date? How can i setting this?

What folder structure?
If you're referring to how Aperture stores the originals in a managed library then the answer is you can't change it.
If having the originals stored in a specific file structure is important to you you will need to switch to a referenced original setup.

What model is your phone and what OS are you trying to install. iOS 7 can only be installed on certain phones.
Maybe someone knows the specifics?
