Icon composer, can make them, can't use them from get info, how?

Hi, I can make icons in Icon Composer, but when I try to retrieve and use them from the "get info" window there is only a generic ICNS icon available at the top, although the icon I made shows in the preview pane at the bottom. How can I retrieve the icons I make so I can replace a folder icon for example? Downloaded icons work OK from the get info window. Thanks for any help.

The "Tiger" version of the 'sips' utility can handle ".icns" format files and creates full size custom icons so you could probably use that. Note that it acts directly on the file so it might be a good idea to work on a copy, rather than the original. To use 'sips' to create a custom icon for an image file (including ".icns" files), open "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "Terminal.app" and enter:<pre>/usr/bin/sips -i /path/to/file</pre>If you are unfamiliar with unix style paths, just enter the '/usr/bin/sips -i ', including the space at the end, then drag the image file into the terminal window (the correct path should be filled in automatically), then hit <Return>. It should be possible to copy the new custom icon from "Get Info" as usual.

  • Can we use Result from another query in Webi using Bex uery universe?

    Hi,
    Can we use Result from another query filter option in Webi to create a report using a Bex Query universe?
    I need to create a report using two universes, one is Bex Query Universe and the other is Orcle universe. I have two queries, one is using Oracle universe; the other using Bex Query universe. I need to pass the Oracle data from the Oracle query to the Bex Query query to get the matched data from SAP Bex query.
    I used Result from another query in the query filter panel for the query using Bex query universe. But I got an error saying that 'A filter contains a wrong value. you cannot run this query. (Error: WIS 00007). The data used in the filter on both sides are the same. they are char.
    I have tested by using two queries from the same Bex query universe to see if the Result from another query filter option works. And I got the same error.
    Has anyone run into the same issue and if this is possible and what should be the solution?
    Thanks in advance!

    In that situation:
    Create two queries : Oracle and BW query.
    @ Report:
    As you have to see result set from both the Dataproviders, correct? To achieve thise one must have common dimension objects to merge them at report and use Objects those are coming from both queries to use them in single Table/Report.
    Unless you don't use Merge Dimensions, you don't get a chane to use both queries objects in single Table/Report. (It will give tooltip saying: You can't drop here -- Incompatable Objects)
    In case, if you don't have common dimensions, change object definitions to Detail objects, for those required.
    Hope it helps you.
    Thank You!!

  • How can I use music from two different iTunes accounts?

    how can I use music from two different iTunes accounts?

    If you mean iTunes Store accounts, there's really nothing for you to do. Just add the tracks to the iTunes library and play them. Music purchased prior to late-2009 will been to be authorized, though. Pull down Store > Authorize... and type the credentials of the Apple ID used to buy the tracks.
    If you mean something else, please describe in more detail.

  • Can i use xerox from pc

    Hey jayanta_das,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you have an HP Deskjet 1050, from your description it sounds like you would like to scan or copy to the computer and then print so you can make modifications to the original rather than performing a copy directly from the printer. Is this correct? If I have misunderstood, please re-explain the task you are trying to perform and how I can help.
    I look forward to hearing from you.
    Thanks,

  • I installed 5 but now I can't use it with Mac osx - how do I go back to my old version?!

    I was prompted to install Firefox 5 on my Mac. Now when I try to open it says I can't use Firefox with osx. How do I go back to using the previous version - has it been written over? My previous version was fine!

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

  • Can I use my airport to see how many devices are on my network?

    Can I use my airport to see how many devices are on my network?

    No, that info was removed from the airport utility at v6 toyland edition.
    The last real utility was 5.6.1 and although it is not actually supposed to work on AC model it does sometimes.
    But you can generally see what is on your network using the netstat command in the computer..
    Open the network utility and go to the netstat page and run scan.. this can take a few minutes.. and should show all the clients as well as the router/s. At least all the ones the computer can see.
    The network utility is under utilized as people seem to not know of it.
    There are iOS tools like this as well. Sorry but I don't remember the name/s.

    I think it's QuickTime player causing the problem, when I try to open it I get the windows error that an error has occured
    Let's try swapping out your QuickTime again, taking a few extra explicit precautions this time.
    Head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
    Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
    1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
    2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
    3. Open Program Files.
    4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
    5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
    6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
    7. Restart your computer.
    Now download and save a copy of the latest standalone QuickTime installer to your hard drive. (We'll run the install from there rather than online.)
    Latest Quicktime Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention iTunes
    Switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install. Start the install by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe.
    If that install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching iTunes again. Does your iTunes launch properly now?
    (If you get an error message on the QuickTime uninstall or standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. Include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

  • How do I fix the compatibility issue between my iPhone 4S with iOS 7 and my Pioneer car stereo? There was no problem with iOS 6, but now I get a message saying "this device is not compatible" and so I can't use Netflix for example. How do I fix it?

    This is a typical response from the manufacturer. Did you try the fix that Lawrence mentioned. When Apple or any other phone manufacturer update phone software, they have the latest Bluetooth installed. It is usually the problem with the radio manufacturer that they devices are using the older Bluetooth protocols. You can try this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581 and see if anything there helps, but generally it requires the radio manufacturer to update their firmware.

    You cannot change your iTunes country unless you are really moving to another country, nor can you change country association for a gift card.  Give it as a gift to a friend who lives in the country of origin for the card.

    Where is the backup of the media and other important files from the computer?  Ultimately, it is the users responsibility to ensure that backups exists. Waiting until there is a problem to decide to do a backup is not smart.  Would you wait until a fire started in your home to call the insurance company and inquire about homeowners/renters insurance????
    In the event that no backup exists (stop being lazy.... keep backups of YOUR data and other important files):
    If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, it is possible to redownload music via iCloud from purchased history.
    If you are not in the US or for some reason cannot run iTunes 10.3 or later, contact iTunes customer support and ask very nicely for the opportunity to redownload the content.  They are not required to provide this opportunity.
    It is also possible to transfer content from an iDevice that was purchased via iTunes.  On the new computer, sign into the iTunes account, authorize the computer, connect the device then select File > Transfer Purchases.
    The simplest method of all is to transfer or copy the media (and other important files) from the old computer or the backup of the old computer.  Typing "move itunes library" into the search bar here or into google will reveal step by step instructions on how to do this.

    I can't find the keyboard by using iMessage, but I can by using email or whatsapp? How I reset the keyboard on iMessage?

    Did you tap in the box at the bottom of iMessage?
    If you did and no keyboard is showing: Do a reset
    Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data
    If that didn't helped, double tap Home button, delete the Message app and reset again.
