Icon trouble.

Hello
I've switched icons before and had no problems, select the icon you want to use, get info, copy, and then paste it into the place you want to put it. no problem.
Until now, when I try to change an icon I follow all the steps up to the point of pasting where the paste command is grayed out as if I haven't copied anything, tried many times and I'm only getting the same result.
What's happened, how can I get my icons changed, is there another way?
Help, please.

you could maybe try repairing permissions. also, make sure that in the info window, the permissions are set all of them to rw and that you are the owner. [ 8 ) ]

Little green phone icon/trouble connecting audio chat

Hi,
I'm trying to get audio going with my mom and her 15" iBook. She's 10.3.9.
We're both using Comcast. Speed check on mine say 2.5 megabits, and hers says 3.1.
Anyway, we just can't seem to connect. I notice that her "little green phone icon" next to her name is... I guess... "flat". Mine and (another buddy) look like they're "layered", and I don't have any trouble AV chatting with him, even when I was in China.
After the audio chat fails with Mom, her green phone icon gets grey.
I've done alot of looking, and spent some time looking at Ralph John's site too. But I can't seem to find any direction. I have not stopped by Mom's house to try to figure it out- I should go visit her anyway!
Anyone have any thoughts (or direction)?
Thanks,
Guy

Hi Ralph and EZ Jim,
Thanks for your responses guy's.
I finally got over there to look at it. After reading a post this morning that had me unplug her modem for at least a half hour - up to 12 hours, I got her AX going. (Her wireless was my other issue...)
That let me get both of us a connection. I checked her settings although I'm not 100% what they should be. I was able to sit there and show her what buttons to click.
My point is, I think I got it resolved. Maybe it was just that her modem was a problem and the AX took care of it, or maybe it was something else I did. In the end, I wasn't getting her audio through my speakers (i got my iSight as my audio out, and her side was fine)...
This is a different quest, and I'll do some research before I ask, but... I never actually got to chat with her because I've set up my Bluetooth headset to work on my machine, and iChat couldn't find it, cause I left it at home!
Thanks again for your help, and I'll definitely be back when I have other issues (or answers) with iChat.

Smashed icons!!!

I've an eMac with a weird problem. I've run the hardware test disc which is ok and I've reinstalled system software disc 1 with the keeping old preferences etc. option. The problem is that after running the mouse over an icon the icon gets 'smashed' and looks as if it is like broken glass and the screen then freezes and doesn't respond although the mouse still moves. Any ideas please?

I have no idea how to diagnose your problem, but it mught help if you take some screenshots by pressing command-shift-3. if that doesnt work, close all the windows turn off the lights but a camera on a stable surface (preferably a tripod) turn of the flash, make sure the entire screen is in the shot, and dont hold or try to stabalize it, just press the shutter button and let go of the camera (to reduce jiggling) and post them up, and someone should be able to get a better idea of you shattered icons trouble.

Icon in System Preferences is... dead?

I've got one of the newer Macbooks. Because I was a n00b and didn't realize that Bootcamp was the replacement for Virtual PC, I tried to install VPC and the installer seemed to leave something behind.

Also, it installed Deja Vu and I can't figure out how to uninstall it. I put Deja Vu into Spotlight, and it came up with a .pkg file along with the system preferences entry, I was able to move the .pkg into the trash but not the prefs one.
So yea... how can I get this icon back to normal? It shows up fine in the View dropdown list.
Thanks!

For your light switch icon trouble:
Navigate to ~(yourHome)/Library/Caches/com.apple.preferencepanes.cache
~(yourHome)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
Delete these 2 files and relaunch System Preferences. You may have to reset some of your System Preferences.
As for DejaVu just option-click or right-click on it and choose "remove prefence pane"

Acrobat X1 pro 'bought and paid for' suddenly turned to Trial Version

this is what I'm seeing each time I try to open a pdf file or convert a file to pdf. I purchased Acrobat X1 pro Jan 2014 and suddenly today, Aug 9/14 this is what is happening.
Adobe, what is going on? What do I do now?

I'm having the same problem - however I may know a possible cause - otherwise I have no idea how to prevent the non stop requests (OK several per day) to license my already bought and paid for Acrobat Pro 11, some time back without problems - until recently.
The possible cause? For many months - I would have to check - I have been using the test/trial version of the next Acrobat. When a build came along that was not easy to use (M7 icon troubles) I decided to uninstall the test version and reinstall the bought/licensed Acrobat Pro 11, that I had been using before the 'test version' without any troubles.
Alas the problem with having to license the program Acrobat Pro 11 pops up often at the most inconvenient times (preventing saving of edits for example, which I have to do again).
I'm using Windows 8 (not upgraded to 8.1 but otherwise up to date) 64 bits. As mentioned, using the first install of Acrobat Pro 11 (before uninstalling to test the new version of Acrobat) was unproblematic. Thanks for any help.

TS1368 For the last three days I have had trouble connecting to the iTunes Store. The blue icon pops up and it is impossible to download newsstand or indeed any purchased apps. When signing in, the same icon pops up so it is impossible to do anything.

Why is connection to iTunes stores so temperamental? For the past 3 days I have been unable to download my newspaper subscription or use my iTunes account as the blue icon pops up and says there is no access and one just has to press OK. I took the iPad to an Apple Service
Shop and the assistant deleted my newsstand and reinstalled it which helped until the next day when exactly the same thing happened. I tried to do the same and eventually got back into the store after several hours trying. The same has happened today and it is getting tedious. I have used the iPad without trouble for three months but now this happens every day. The wireless connection is fine but if I close the device and come back later iTunes is unavailable. What is the problem? Boone of the solutions in troubleshooting apply or work.

No one here works for Apple. This is a user-to-user technical support forum. Everyone here is a volunteer. You tend to get from this forum what you bring to it. If you come in ranting and raving and saying you're going to throw your iPhone out the window and that Apple is mean, people are not likely to respond to you with sweetness and light and puppies and kittens.
If you really want help, I'd suggest you take a deep breath and then start a new thread in which you explain the problems you're having, the steps you've taken to resolve the problems, any error messages you've gotten. Stick to the facts. Check the attitude and emotion at the door. People will do their best to help you.
Best of luck.

Trouble displaying icon on push button in 6i Forms

Hi,
I'm having trouble displaying an icon on a button at both design and run times. I'm using Forms 6i with client/server enviornment. I have tried to follow several forums regarding icon setup and the Whitepaper articles. I have tried different suggestions but am still unable to get the icon. Here's my latest attempt:
1. Copied .jar file to C:\Oracle_Developer_9i\forms90\java folder
2. Modified formsweb.cfg (in the serverApp=default section) and included the following:
archive_jini=f90all_jinit.jar,myAppIcons.jar
imagebase=codebase
3. In button's properties I set:
iconic = 'Yes'
icon filename = C:\Oracle_Developer_9i\forms90\java\myAppIcons.jar
My guess is that I didn't copy the icon files (from the .jar file) correctly. As suggested in the Whitepaper, I don't have the c:\ myApp\ icons directory. I did a search for an icon directory and found multiple icons folders (due to other oracle projects installed on my pc) but don't know which one to use. Being that I'm using 6i and the instructions were for 9i I didn't know if the directory/folder name is different. Is there another directory/folder (using 6i) where I should copy all the .gif files from in addition to storing the .jar file in the C:\Oracle_Developer_9i\forms90\java directory?
Also, I feel that I'm not calling it correctly from the location in step 3. Being that the icon exists in the jar file, how would I reference it within the file? Does anybody have any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Eric

Robin,
I tried your suggestions but am still unable to view the icon. Here's what I now have tried.
1. I've created UI_ICONS in the windows registry under the form's oracle home and am calling c:\icons from that variable.
2. In c:\icons, I copied the .jar file's contents (search.gif) into this folder. This is where I may have a problem in addition to my next step in calling the filename. You mentioned in your first post to put my .ICO files there. Should I rename my .gif to .ico? Not sure if I followed you there.
3. In the button property, I set icon = yes and icon filename = c:\icons\search.gif -- Not sure if I used the right syntax for the filename. I've tried renaming it to .ico and it still does not display.
Sorry about all the questions but I really appreciate your help. Do you see anything else that I did that may cause it to not display?
Thanks again,
Eric

Since installing the new OS i am having troubles with different appliction icons showing up on my main page twice (upper left corner), and not allowng me to select certain ones (app store specifically). Anyone else having this issue?

Help - anyone else out there having trouble with the new OS system on their ipad 2? I am not getting mutliple copies of several apps ont he main page. They are "collecting: in a pike int he upper left corner and the original application icon is no lobger working. I have tried a hard sync, and that didn't help.

It should only be able to have one copy of an app on the iPad. Have you tried a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
Do all the apps work ? In the past a few people have taken a screen shot of their iPad screen and that has then become their background picture - so some of the 'app's may actually be on your wallpaper picture and not actual apps. Have you tried changing the wallpaper to see if that makes any difference ?

I have trouble seeing the small icons for the program functions in this tutorial.

Hello,
I have my assets from an older site, and want to start a site desktop site in muse. Is there a program ( maybe a book ) that can walk me through this step by step, instead of the Katie's Cafe demo / tutorial?
The problem with the tutorial is in the dark interface I have trouble seeing the small icons for the program functions.
I really need to setup a new site as soon as possible, but am not getting there right now.
Thanks.

Hi, having trouble with my iMac on startup. Background screen appears, but no icons,

Having trouble with my iMac- on startup, the background screen appears, but no icons. The spinning beach ball appears for quite a long while, then when the icons finally come up, when I open a finder window, the only icons to appear are the Network and Macintosh HD icons. I've tried to repair disk permissions: this came up with heaps of errors, which it then fixed, but the original problem remains.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
thanks

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Same problem(s) in safe mode?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Trouble opening internet links in Outlook & Duplicate icon on task bar

Hi,
I am having trouble opening links in my Outlook 2010 e-mail. If Firefox is already open the links open fine but if it's not open, nothing happens when I click on the link. Also, I'm trying to figure out why, on my desktop, when I open Firefox from the quick launch area it creates a duplicate Firefox icon. On my laptop there will be just one Firefox icon, even when the program is open (the one on the quick launch bar). Any ideas? Thanks.

Another shortcut for maximizing the currently active window is to press Alt+Spacebar followed by x for maximize.
A past thread on this problem: [https://support.mozilla.org/questions/980358 opens off monitor screen].
Do you have multiple monitors by any chance? If so, can you set the monitor where you want Firefox to "primary"?
If this problem persists -- in other words, if Firefox stops saving the new position of its window(s) correctly between sessions -- the settings file that stores the last window position may be corrupted. You could try removing that file and let Firefox use its default sizing and positioning. Note: this also will default some toolbar customizations.
Here's how:
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button to open a new window showing your currently active settings files.
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
* (menu bar) File > Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''localstore.rdf''' to something like localstore.old
Start Firefox back up again. Is the window visible?
