I would like create a folder on my desktop who's icons acts like the trashes.

Apple script and or automator help.
I have a folder on my desktop that has a trash icon. I want the icon to automatically change depending on if there is something in the folder or not.
Is it a folder action with some scripting in it? How would I do that?

This was a feature of OS 9 & earlier.
There were many tools to emulate this behaviour, this old one claims to be… Updated For Mavericks!

Try that app if you really want this feature, frankly I think now may be time to consider moving away from this behaviour.
Search for other apps if that one is bad, it has been done before.

  • In adobe Captivate I would like the person taking the quiz to write their name and then for that name to appear on the score page.  Anyone know how to do that?

    I have lessons created using Captivate that my high school students use.  I would like the student taking the test to type their name and have it appear on the score page so that they cannot share results.
    Otherwise kids can do these for HW and share it with their friends.
    thanks

    Supposing you don't use a LMS, this could be the work flow:
    Add a Text Entry Box in the beginning of the course to ask for the name. If you want to be sure that they really do enter a name, have a look at:
    Where is Null? - Captivate blog
    Each Text Entry Box has an associated user variable.It is created automatically with the same generic name as the TEB, but you could better use a more significant name for the user variable:
    Save Time: Create Associated Variable for Text Entry Box while Defining this TEB - Captivate blog
    On the Score slide, insert a text container (caption or shape) in which you insert the user variable, using the X button in the Properties panel of the text container; it will appear between $$ and be replaced by the value of the variable on runtime

  • I am trying to forward certain email I get to my icloud email to another email address. I have added the unwanted senders email to rules and included where i would like the email to be forwarded

    I am trying to forward a certain email I get to my icloud email to another email address. I have added the unwanted senders email to rules and included where i would like the email to be forwarded, however it doens't seem to be working as i also added a second rule for testing purposes with my other hotmail account
    any help would be great

    new account are created without a password, so asking for it is normal.
    see http://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com.au/2011/07/pssswords.html
    Compare the passwords Thunderbird has for the other accounts and see if using the same one is what you need to do.

  • Just got mini. In mail I want to create a folder to save certain emails. I'll call the folder "Saved". Should be simple, right?

    Just got an iPad mini. In mail I want to create a folder to save certain emails. I'll call the folder "Saved". Should be simple, right?

    For IMAP mail like Gmail, you can use the Edit button to create new folder. It doesn't work for POP mail.

  • I have a time capsule and two air port expresses. The time capsule is in the middle of my house, the expresses equidistant in opposite directions. I would like the expresses to both connect directly to the capsule, but they are connected in serial. How?

    I have a time capsule and two air port expresses. The time capsule is in the middle of my house, the expresses equidistant in opposite directions. I would like the expresses to both connect directly to the capsule, but they are connected in serial. How to reconfigure.
    I ask because I have music running out of both expresses, and the one that is most distant from the time capsule (routed through the first express) regularly drops the music signal from itunes. And I am guessing the serial configuration of the routers has something to do with this, but my root problem is music dropout - any thoughts would be appreciated.

    If you have the the most current model of the Express devices, the default setup is to "extend" the wireless signal.  In this type of setup, each Express communicates directly to the Time Capsule.
    How did you setup the AirPort Express devices?
    What version of the Mac operating system are you using on your MacBook?   Or, do you have AirPort Utility installed on your iPad?

  • I have a iPad and I connect it to my tv through hdmi but would like the sound to come out through the headphone socket, can I make this happen

    I have a iPad and I connect it to my tv through hdmi but would like the sound to come out through the headphone socket, can I make this happen.

    Go to System Preferences>Sound>Output  and make sure that you selected the right output. I think if yo use HDMI you might not be abe to select another output.

    I am setting up ipads for use in an elementary, and I would like the "home screen" to be the apps, rather than the default with the chat, mail, etc icons.  how do I change that?

    Depending on exactly what you want to do, there are a couple of ways of handling this. You may want to access teh user guide for some ideas: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf
    In particular, check the sections on Customizing iPad and Settings > Restrictions.

  • Can we create a folder in one desktop without sharing that folder in other desktop in mac?

    I have created a few desktop in my mac. Can i create a folder in one desktop, which does not share in other desktop?Can I have different folders in different desktop? how to do that?

    No. Desktop spaces affect only applications and their windows. If an icon appears on the desktop it appears on every desktop.

    I have now recently downloaded 10.0.2 which is confusing in itself, as, as far as I can ascertain that is actually version 11, but I'm not even sure about that.
    Version 10.0.2 is the newest version and the successor to GarageBand '11 (version 6.0.5).
    The '11 is referring to the iLife '11 suit of multimedia application - the older GarageBand was a part of this bundle.
    Have a look at Edgar's graphical enhanced manuals, the explain very detailed how things work and why. You can buy them as iBooks from the iBook store or directly from the page:

  • Would like the currency in the vendor master to always default to USD.

    Would like the currency in the vendor master to always default to USD.

    Hi,
    Currency not available in the vendor master level.
    How you want to make default it, if it is not available.
    If you want to post particular vendor only with the USD currency, then go for Validation as currency check in header and vendor check in line item and this works only at company code level (that means, only for one company code, if you need it to other then seperate validation you have to write and activate).

  • I have a mac 10.5.8 with leopard i would like the newest one do i have to upgrade all of the previous first?

    I have a mac 10.5.8 with leopard. I would like the newest does that mean i have to upgrade all the ones before?

    If you have a PPC (G4 or G5) iMac you can not upgrade any further.
    If your is an Intel based iMac:
    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    (NB: PowerPC applications can still be run in Snow Leopard using Rosetta, but they will not work in later versions of OS X. For detailed information see this user tip:  https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6271 )
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is still available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Before installation you should back up all your data.
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes (you will need the latest version in order to synch with mobile devices).
    You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:

    You can now upgrade to Yosemite OS 10.10 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
    Yosemite will run on the following Macs:
    iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
    MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    The requirements for Yosemite are the same as they were for OS X 10.9 Mavericks,
    iCloud system requirements:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4759
    If you cannot run Yosemite you can purchase the code to use to download Mavericks from the App Store (requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-Mavericks
