Icon can only be changed by root

hi
sorry for my poor english (i'm from france)
Well, i have a problem i cannot solve : my Hard Disk has two partitions and and i cannot paste anything for the first one's icon. paste seems to work but nothing happens.
All other icons can be changed.
Any user can remove custom icon from this partition, but only root can paste a new one...
I have repaired permissions, verified disk, empty all caches, etc using applejack and even Tiger Cache Cleaner.
Nothing works !
One more thing : i have a local Network and when i connect to another computer using a login and a password (ie christine / pass ) then the window gives me the choice between then HD and christine_HomeDir instead of christine. This happens even with root account...
I can't understand why these two things don' t work fine.
Maybe someone can help me ?

1. When logged in as root, open the Terminal application in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run the following:
chmod 777 /Icon?
Once done, all accounts on your computer should be able to change the custom icon.
2. When you are logging into the computer remotely from an administrator login, you will be given the opportunity to access the whole hard disk in addition to only your home folder. The _HomeDir was added for clarity. A non-admin login will only be shown their own home folder.

Lower limit can only be changed during initial entry, Message no. NR651

Hi Experts,
As per the number ranges limit values defined in the system for the planned orders, there is a need to increase the number ranges.
System is not allowing us to change the limit values of the Planned orders in MD91 and showing the Message no. NR651.
We have also searched for the available threads in SCN and other sites, but didn't find the root cuase link for this error.
System message:
Lower limit can only be changed during initial entry
Message no. NR651
Diagnosis
You have tried to change the lower limit of an interval which has a non-initial number status.
System Response
The change was not executed.
Please guide us how can we increase the number ranges for planned orders.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can create a new number range or change in transaction OMi2 or in MD91.
Assign the 02 by clicking number range in OMi2
or in transaction OPPQ click on number range & select the 02.
Do the changes as described and analyse the results. Ensure that while testing no body is creating the planned orders.

Since upgrading Iphone to iOS 5.1.1 it does not automatically use wifi internet when wifi is available. It has been draining my mobile data. I can only manually change settings with cellular data everytime I get home. Any other solutions?

Since upgrading Iphone to iOS 5.1.1 it does not automatically divert to my wi-fi internet when wifi is available in my home. It has been draining my mobile data I now have very high bills from my mobile carrier for high data usage. I can only manually change settings in the Network and turn cellular data on and off everytime I get home and leave the home. This is very frustrating as it wasn't a problem until the upgrade. I have spoken to a few people that this has happened to. Has anyone found this problem and does anyone have other solutions?

Please disregard this question. I'll submit a shorter and more direct question. Thanks.

DVD Regional Codes can only be changed 5 times? Why?

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro in the U.S. and brought it to Japan where I currently reside. I have DVD's from the states that I want to watch along with DVD's that can be rented here in Japan. When I inserted a DVD into the drive from Japan with a regional code of 2, I was informed that the regional codes can only be changed 5 times and on the 5th time, that code becomes permanent. What is up with that? And is there any way to switch back and forth between various regions without a limit? I don't understand.

This is to stop people circumventing the region code system by simply changing the region code of their DVD player. In my opinion, this is an "anti-piracy" measure that does more to annoy people than it does to stop piracy.
With all other computer drives, you can actually change them 25 times; after every fifth time though, you have to take it to a dealer to have it reset. Apple don't allow this and limit you to five times. After the fifth time, they will not reset it, and you are stuck with it. I would only change it if I moved somewhere with a different region code.
VLC can function as a multi-region DVD player on some drives, allowing you to play disks from any region, regardless of the region coding of your player. It works on my iMac, so I would imagine that there is a good chance it will function as such on your MacBook Pro.

Password can only be changed once

Suddenly on our system users can only change their password once. That means:
1) Administrator creates account in WGM with OpenDirectory-Password "xxx1".
2) User can login with password "xxx1"
3) User changes password to "xxx2".
4) User can login with password "xxx2"
5) Some time later user changes password again, this time to "xxx3".
6) User cannot login with the new password "xxx3", but he can still login with the old password "xxx2"!!!
7) Administrator changes password in WGM to "xxx3".
8) User can still not login with password "xxx3", only the old password "xxx2" works!
9) The only way to change the password at this time, is to delete the user in WGM and recreate it with the new password.
We suspect that it has something to do with Kerberos. If the user tries after step 6) (from above) to get a Kerberos ticket using /System/Library/CoreServices/Kerberos.app, he can only get a ticket using the new password "xxx3"!
So for us it looks like the OpenDirectory- and Kerberos-Passwords are somehow getting out of sync.
Our configuration:
Server: 10.4.7 (PPC)
Clients: 10.4.7 and 10.4.9 (both PPC)
Thanks for any help.

Can local admin change the root password in Mavericks

One of my people and I keep going back and forth with this question. I remember reading somewhere (cannot find it now) that in 10.9 Apple changed it, so a local admin could not longer change the root password if it has been enabled by the IT group.

AFAIK, any admin account user can set/change the root password. See OS X Mavericks: Enable and disable the root user for details. If you or IT don't trust your people, don't give them admin privileges.

Sidebar icons: can they be changed?

I've added .Trash to my Finder sidebar so I can drag items to the trash.
I would like to change the blue folder icon to a Trash bin (and wouldn't mind changing the other sidebar icons as well).
Is it possible to change them? And if so, how?
Thanks!
(I own CandyBar, but not sure it allows you to change an individual folder icon).

The items in the Sidebar are aliases to the original item. If the original item has a custom icon that icon will be displayed in the Sidebar when you drag the item there. You can use GetInfo to change individual folder icons. Find something that has an icon you like, do GetInfo on it, click the wee little icon at the top to select it (a very faint blue line appears when the icon is selected), and select Copy. Then do GetInfo on the folder you want to have the new icon, select the wee little generic folder icon at the top, and Paste.

[SOLVED] Can only open X as root - can't read a file in /tmp/

xkbcomp reports:
Error: cannot close "/tmp/server-0.kbm" properly (not enough space?)
(...) #Some stuff here
Error: couldn't compile keymap
XKB: Failed to compile keymap
Keyboard initialization failed. This could be a missing or incorrect setup of xkeyboard-config.
df /tmp/
Use: 100%
I "rm -rf'd" /tmp/, and recreated it, but right after df /tmp, said "Use: 100%".
How can I reopen X, or *truly* clean /tmp/?
EDIT:
As root, it works, but I really shouldn't run X as root, and I need to fix this, thank you!

I've been running X as non-root for a few weeks now, it always worked. Only now it only works as root.
Also, I thought I had fixed this last night, because I re-compiled cairo-xcb from source to match new libpng update. It worked after, but now it's not working again.

I can only upload changes bit by bit

1/ background -
    I have my computer fixed recently. The windows has been re-installed
    and I have finished re-installing all softwares
2/ I have a (bad ?) habit uploading the whole web to the remote server periodically
    choosing '' delete remote files not on local drive ''
    The synchronize box finally showed all files for '' PUT '' action
    I then pressed OK. The action was completed after a long time (many files)
==> but the changes did not appear on my web
3/ My findings :
* at the left hand side (Remote server), it shows all my folders plus
    2 folders '' public_html '' & '' www '' .
    Each of them contains the same contents : all my folders
* in order to upload changes successfully, Now ,I must drag the copy of the file from my local server
    to the public_html folder and replace the correspondent file
QUESTION 1 - what is the problem ?
                    2 - in above point 2, , where did those changes go ?

* at the left hand side (Remote server), it shows all my folders plus
    2 folders '' public_html '' & '' www '' .
What Nancy said. Your website files must be uploaded to the public_html folder on the server for the world to see them. You should not see the public_html folder in your Remote Server view in DW - just the files and folders inside it.
This should have been explained in the welcome email sent to you by your web hosting company.
Where the screenshot in Nancy's post shows Root Directory: htdocs/, your must be Root Directory: public_html.

After upgrading to 10.6.8 dock icons can't be changed

I'm running a Macbook Pro with 2.5Ghz Intel Core Duo with 4Gb memory. I recently upgraded from 10.5.x to 10.6.8, updating other software at the same time. Now I find that it won't retain any new icons I add to my dock. For awhile it kept bringing back deleted ?'s in place of software I removed. That has stopped, but neither dragging the icon into the dock or starting the app and clicking "options>keep in dock" will work. After a restart they will be gone again, along with icons I have removed while still keeping the software. Is there a fix for this?

Open the Terminal in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run:
defaults write com.apple.dock contents-immutable -bool false;killall Dock

Custom Icon can be loaded from search directory

Currently Custom Icon can only be placed under
C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\TestStand 2014 (32-bit)\Components\Icons
and
C:\Program Files\TestStand 2014\Components\Icons
and also from
search directory option for icon (New Idea)
If icons can also be loaded in path mentioned search directory, It help a lot in handling things among a large ATE Team (50 Test Developers)

I made the zip file with WinZip in the same directory as the class file,
as directed by the previous thread, and uploaded it to my server.
It still does not load the applet.

I synced my Ipod to itunes now i can only double click the icons on the screen it seems that the swiping feature has been disabled, how do I get it back to normal? I've restored it but nothing has changed

I synced my Ipod to itunes now I can only double tap the icons on the screen, it seems that the swipeing feature has somehow been disabled, Is there a way i could fix it or get it back to normal?

Hi there,
It sounds like you may have an accessibility feature called VoiceOver enabled. Take a look at the article below for more information on how to use VoiceOver as well as how to disable it.

Since installing an icon-editing add-on, I can't open tabs any more / I can only use one tab at a time.

Ever since I installed the add-on Favicon Picker 2 that lets you change the bookmark icons, I can't open tabs any more. The second tab will open, but if you try to go to a site, the FIRST tab redirects to that site. Basically, I can only use one tab at a time. Is there any way I can keep this add-on and use tabs?

Oh, wow - look at that, you're right :) I didn't want to uninstall the add-on as I like the feature, but simply by disabling it you can keep the new icons AND use tabs. Thanks dude!
(The add-on is Favicon Picker 2 0.6.2.15 by the way - some of the user reviews report the same problem.)

Why can't you change the .html/.htm filetype icons for Firefox?

**Before you read this question: NOTICE I am talking about Firefox Icons on Windows, NOT ON FIREFOX BOOKMARKS/PROGRAM!!!!! Read the question then please, please visit the link so you have a better understanding of what I'm asking with this question!!!!**
I've been trying to change the FileType Icons for the Firefox Documents for weeks now and there's no solution that I can see. I tried using Filetypes Manager to change the .html/.htm filetypes icons with no luck. Why does Firefox force this change on users when most users that use Firefox do so because of it's ability to be customizable? Even Microsoft Word .doc file icons allow you to change them! Microsoft!!! Why is Firefox forcing everyone to use their ugly filetype icons? &____& I've yet to see this issue not only addressed but solved. Why does Firefox ignore this issue? I'd like my computer's icons to all be top-notch, and Firefox is preventing me from making my weeks of hard work go to naught. Please, please address this issue... if anything, tell your users why your program is forcing the icons on them in the first place when monopolies like Microsoft allow their users to customize program filetype icons.
If this cannot have a fix, why can't it be a new feature/addition to the newest versions of Firefox?
Edit: And because people are starting to get 'confused' I've included a screen shot of what I'm talking about because, for the love of god, people, I'm *not* talking about using favicons and bookmarks!
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c231/arcanetheorem/example.png

The only thing I changed about the question was to add an image and to try and make it more understandable since everyone assumed I was talking about Favicons/Bookmark Icons....
As for it being a Windows 7 issue and not a Firefox one... if it were just a Windows 7 issue I wouldn't be able to change other application icons or filetype icons on the Windows platform using FileTypes Manager. Firefox, from what I've been able to gather, is not one that can be changed. If I change the filetype icons for Word Documents any other extension (like .mp3/.mp4/.avi/.mkv), I get the changed icon I wanted. However, when you try to change the Firefox .html/.htm filetype extension icons, it doesn't work. Have you tried going through changing your icon filetypes using FileTypes Manager to see this issue? If it were a Windows or FileType Manager issue, then I'd have trouble changing other icons on that platform, no? So what I'm asking with my question is why this is. Why, if you use FileTypes Manager to change Windows7 icons, is Firefox's icons the only ones that won't be changed? Doesn't this fall under Firefox's problem if their icons are under the 'can't be changed' category under Windows? And using shortcut icons is no good for me. When I browse a folder of .html files, I want to see the icons I changed it to, not make a shortcut to every .html file I have just to have a better-looking Visual Style. Defeats the purpose, doesn't it? As for clicking on Properties to change it... Windows 7 doesn't allow this feature anymore, which is why I've been using FileType Manager to change all filetype extension icons.
Hope that helps clear things up a bit, though I have a feeling I'm just confusing everyone more with what is a simple question/problem....
