If you have suggestions for new icons that should be included, or just
want to share interesting glyphs with other users, post them to this
discussion topic. Please only post icons that are clear of any
copyright issues so that other users do not have to worry about using
them in their own VIs.
You may wish to review the Guidelines For Creating Icons if you want to submit your own artwork.

I noticed that the icon PNG files include tranparacy.  That's indeed very important when adding glyphs to an icon.   However, the Labview icon editor doesn't support transparacy.  That makes the glyphs very difficult to use in the icon editor !   You always destroy too much of the underlying icon.
I think the usability of the icon editor would dramatically increase when it supported transparacy.   Doesn't have to be true transparacy.  It simpy shouldn't write a pixel when it's the background color.   (Something similar to what MS-Paint does with it's 'transparant paste'.)
Another usefull feature would be anti-aliased text.   I now do that manually, and it can help a lot in some cases.
Finally, maybe the icon editor could have a scrapbook added...   Some extra part, where one can 'store'  often used parts of icons, and play with them, putting them together.   I now generally do that in MS-Paint, so that I can more easily try out some ideas on how to create the icon.   Maybe couple this scrapbook to the project or lv library...
To keep on-topic I'll also include an icon. 
I didn't see any 'Front Panel'  icon. I have had a couple of vi's controlling acces to the front panel.  I used the following icon, together with a lock/unlock glyph at the bottom:
All hand-painted, so no copyrights.

  • Second user can't see hard drive icons on her desktop

    I added my wife also as an administator, but she can't see the hard drive icons on her desktop. Not even the Macintosh HD icon. Hard drives are connected thru USB.

  • I tried to copy my itunes library to new drive now I'm in trouble

    I bought a new 1tb internal drive and installed it. I wanted a dedicated spot for a 500 gig music library and a place for dedicated backup. The man at micro center told me in order to move the library from the 1tb lacie external drive to the new drive that i should just open both drives in finder then drag the itunes folder from the lacie to the new drive. Once they were copied to the new internal drive i thought everything was fine.. the songs played..... until I turned off the lacie, then suddenly I got the question marks by the songs when i tried to play them. Here's just one of the places I screwed up! I next decided to drag the itunes music folder from the lacie into the open itunes window. What I got was a doubling of all the songs. Then I decided I would just start over again and erase the new drive and import the library again, but this time from the lacie with carbon copy cloner. When I opened I tunes after this was done and reset the music folder pathway to the new drive I still had all the songs doubled. Here's where it gets worse, I decided to return the pathway to the music folder back to the lacie, where I also chose to consolidate the library. SO, what I have is an itunes that says i have two of everything. I checked the actual itunes folder on the the lacie and it looks like in reality i do have only one of each song. So in fact it is sort of an illusion that i have a doubled library. What do i do now, how can i get rid of all the dups and straighten this whole mess out before it gets worse??

    this didn't work..... the "add to library" just put more songs in an already overcrowded itunes window. You know what is weird is that I use the get info on the music folder on the external drive and it doesn't say that there are more gigs of music than before ..but in the itunes window at the bottom where you see the size of your library it says the size is double what the "get info" on the drive says.
    I've wiped the new internal drive clean a few times since last night and re-tried different suggestions that folks here on discussions have given me and I still wind up with dups. This morning i tried this> wipe clean > reformat drive >open itunes with the option key down > chose "new library"> chose " new internal drive for location of library> went into preferences to advanced and chose my new drive and the new itunes as the pathway> opened my lacie drive and dragged the itunes music folder to the open itunes window on the left hand side at the top and started it immediately started to import songs. Then i checked some of the albums that were imported and yet again the duplicates were there ...only this time when i tried to play them i got play from each dup whereas before one would play and the other would give me the "not found " message [you know the sort of exclamation point thingy]. So this does mean that it is indexing or pointing to both drives, at least while the import is taking place i guess. SO HOW DO I GET RID OF THESE DUPS WITHOUT GOING THROUGH EACH ALBUM ON EACH DRIVE ?

  • After updating to Yosemite, I updated iPhoto. Alert said to convert my library to new iPhoto. Then alert said I needed to repair permissions. Then a freeze. Then iPhoto won't find and show my library. How do I fix this?

    After updating to Yosemite, I updated iPhoto. Alert said to convert my library to new iPhoto. Then alert said I needed to repair permissions. Then a freeze. Then iPhoto won't find and show my library. How do I fix this? I can see the library icon on my external drive, but it doesn't show as a library in iPhoto. When I double click on the icon, nothing happens. When I choose it from alternate menu, doesn't open. Where do I get help?

    Peter
    Do you have a back up? What version of iPhoto do you have? Assuming 09 or later:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Restoring music library to new PC from Carbonite backup

    I bought a new PC to replace an older one and I am having problems restoring my music library on it. I have Carbonite and all of my iPod files have been restored to the "MY Music" file on the new computer. How do I get them over to iTunes or do I even need to use them? Is there just a way to sync my iPod to the new PC and restore them that way? Please help!

    No need to buy anything from the people spamming these forums. There are plenty of free options.
    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.

  • Transferring library onto new pc

    I have hundreds of tunes on my ipod & photos I don't want to loose. However. my laptop with my original library has been stolen. I have added new songs into the library on my new pc but daredn't try and put them on my ipod for fear of losing everything. Why can you not just connect the ipod to the computer and all the tunes that are on it appear in the library? Is there any way around this problem does anybody know?

    Be very careful when connecting an iPod full of music to an empty iTunes library.There is very real risk of permanently losing all the music.
    To prevent auto sync, before you connect the iPod go to the iTunes preferences and select "devices", then select "disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods".
    An alternative method is to connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'control+shift' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
    If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to a new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
    If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
    When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
    Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    Find out how to do that here.

    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump and iPodRobot.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

  • Creating new library on new computer

    i have a library of music, some 4000 or so songs on my ipod; work computer crashed and was able to only save about half my orignial library. Is there a way to take everything on my ipod right now, and move it onto my home computer. It would be such a pain to create a whole new library at home, considering i have a ton more music on my ipod than the original computer it was on since it crashed. Any help, more than appreicated - thanks, D

  • Transferring library to new laptop

    I know there're loads of posts on this subject but feel I need extra help, being such a complete novice and technophobe!
    Have an old sony viao on its last legs running windows xp and have just purchased a Dell running windows 7. I obviously want to transfer my itunes library to new laptop so I can sync my old nano and recently purchased Iphone4. Previous posts suggest transferring using "media folder" Where would I find this? Also, do I need to purchase an external hard drive to transfer? Surely theres got to be an easier way?
    Any help would be gratefully appreciated as feel Im sinking into an itunes nightmare!!

    I am researching this right now as I just got an new computer and I do not think it is that easy. I do not plan to follow the previous person's advice anyway. I am going to try this freeware program that is supposed to work really well from some reviews on Cnet.
    Freeware http://www.copytrans.net/copytranstuneswift.php
    I'll let you know, but do not rely on transferring your stuff from your iPod to the new computer. If that were the case people wouldn't be researching it so hard to figure out how to do it right! Besides that would make it way too easy for people to give their friends the music and apps that they've purchased if it was as easy and plugging it in to a different computer ...

  • HT204053 My wife and I shared the same AppleID but want to break these apart. We set up a new AppleID for her but can't get this changed on the phone. How do we switch her AppleID default on her iphone 4?

    My wife and I shared the same AppleID but now want to break these apart into separate accounts. I have set up a new appleid for her and also set up on line. However, I can't figure out how to change this on her iphone4. I have looked at all of the General settings but need guidance. When I use the phone to try to purchase songs from itunes, it reverts to the old appleID. 
    Any suggestions?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)

  • Cannot post new thread in Calendar forum

    I have a question about Oracle Calendar, and I'm trying to post my question in the Calendar forum. But when I click the "Post New Thread" link, I get an error page that says "Error: you do not have permission to view the requested forum or category."
    What am I doing wrong?

    How did you get to the forum? Are you trying to post to an archived forum? You may need to use a different forum, perhaps someone can tell which forum to ask such a question, or you can get a clue by searching here (as opposed to google searching). This is a huge site, sometimes it takes a bit of work to find the right place. For me, the google search generally works better, but that may not apply to what you are searching for.

  • How to keep library with new user ID

    My daughter has been purchasing songs and downloading them to her itunes library on her computer for many years (a library that shares access with mine). I now have an iphone for her and would like to open a new apple account in her name for her new iphone. I also would like her to be able to have all of her songs in her library on her new phone with her new user ID. Is this possible? If so, how do I accomplish this?

    Connect the phone to her computer and sync the music she wants to it. If it is all of the music that's easy; just click the Music tab in iTunes and check "Entire music library". If it is selective the easiest way to do it is to first create a new playlist in iTunes, then drag all of the music she wants on the phone to that playlist, click on Selected Playslists on the Music tab and choose it. Then sync.
    Alternatively, she can check "Manually manage..." on the Summary screen, then drag the music she wants to the phone, but the playlist trick is much easier. Anytime she wants to change the music on the phone just add to or remove from the playlist and sync again.
    Next, create the new Apple ID and set up the account in iTunes. First log out of the old account on the Store menu in iTunes. Then go to the Store menu and choose "Create Apple ID" and follow the instructions. Any new music and apps will be associated with the new ID, but the old content will still be available.

    Please add the Quick Look feature to file selection dialogs.
    This is where the feature is at it's most useful. For instance, when selecting files to attach to an email, being able to quick look to make sure it's the version I want to send would be very valuable.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
    A few things to discuss...so bear with me...
    1) Contrary to how others do things, RIM does not provide a desktop PIM. Others force you to use their PIM and only their PIM. RIM provides a conduit software that functions as a bridge between your chosen PIM and the BB. See this KB for compatible PIM's:
    KB12268 Applications supported by BlackBerry Desktop Manager for synchronization
    2) RIM provides a Device Switch Wizard to migrate from another SmartPhone to a BB...but only for compatible devices. See this KB:
    KB05459 How to use the Switch Device Wizard to switch from another smartphone to a BlackBerry smartphone
    3) If your old device is not compatible with the wizard, then RIM further provides the ability to import from ASCII and CSV files. See this KB:
    KB04312 Create and synchronize with an ASCII export file
    KB11194 How to import contacts from an CSV file to the BlackBerry device
    Sorry, but RIM provides no assistance on how to get your data out of your old device and into the ASCII or CSV format...that's a function of your old device.
    So, your choice is, IMO, to keep using a desktop PIM to manage your data (and you should, IMO)...then choose a compatible PIM (from above). Then, get your data out of your old device and into the desktop PIM. Then, configure the BB to sync with the PIM:
    KB17022 How to configure organizer applications for synchronization using BlackBerry Desktop Manager
    Good luck and let us know!
    Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!
