PDF Icons are all different

Why is it that the PDF icons on my desktop are different from each other? One is the standard red/Adobe PDF icon, another looks like a page, another looks like a binder, another is a photo showing the content of the file. All were created within the same program (Photoshop) as I was saving multiple files. Incidentally, they are all files containing one photo each, but only one file shows the photo as the PDF icon.
I saved them through the print menu.
Thanks for any insight to this!

No matter how they were created, the icon relates to the app that is the default for the file.
Right-Click one of the files that has the right icon/thumbnail on it and select "Get Info"
Then under "Open With" select the correct opening app which should be the correct one in this case.
Then under that, where it says,
"Use this app to open all documents like this" click the button
"Change All"
That should fix the problem.

Question about garageband: I have 3 short original songs that i wanted to merge ala "Bohemian Rhapsody". Is that possible in garageband? their tempos are all different from each other. Advance thanks.

Question about garageband: I have 3 short original songs that i wanted to merge ala "Bohemian Rhapsody". Is that possible in garageband? their tempos are all different from each other. Advance thanks.

First of all, GarageBand iOS allows for only one tempo and there is no Merge Song feature.
What you can do.
Switch between the songs and copy-paste the individual Tracks. You can also Merge Tracks if you run into the 8 Track limitation.
Hope that helps

The number of contacts on my Macbook,iPhone and iCloud are all different. So when i tried to import contacts which i thick are called vCards from my address book on to my iCloud through the options menu on icloud a message came up saying "invalid vCards"? Any ideas? Really want to get this sorted if i could
Cheers

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.

Hi gurus,
Please reply to my question.

HOW to get to the point .....If you do not provide a context to your question, you are a very far distance away from the point.
Sybrand's response is what would be the response to a question that is very [very] inadequately framed.
Without knowing the Oracle version, how you plan to load documents , there is no way your question can be answered.
For all we know, you aren't even planning to use an Oracle database but might be looking at Microsoft Windows Indexing !!
At the top right corner of the forums.oracle.com page, you would see a link to "FAQ". The FAQ is currently hosted at http://wikis.sun.com/display/Forums/Forums+FAQ
See the question titled "What is proper discussion forum etiquette?"
You could also see the well known article "How To Ask Questions The Smart Way" at http://catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
Returning to your question :
Assuming that you are using Oracle 11.2.0.x, you can explore the Oracle Text option.

PDF Downloads are all defaulting to a Firefox image & will not open

When I save (download) PDF files, they display a Firefox image in my Downloads folder. When I click on the image instead of opening the file, Firefox opens a new tab. How do I change the download default to Adobe instead of Firefox? It used to work; perhaps the new version of Firefox is the source of my problem. I realize I can pick Adobe , but I want it to download correctly from the beginning.

Try to rename (or delete) the mimeTypes.rdf file in the Firefox profile folder to reset all file actions.

My itouch icons are all white boxes any fix?

My itouch icons for apps are just gray boxes has this happened to anyone? And how did you fix?

Try a safeboot: hold left shift and power up, continue to hold shift until you see the progress bar then release. This will take longer than a normal boot. Shut down and reboot normally, This worked for me when I had a similar issue,

I have a pile of images that I need to add dimensions to. (show height, width, depth with arrows). I think data merge won't work for this because the images are all different. Is there any way to automate this?

I've been doing this manually for hundreds of images, and it seems like i could create an action that would reference the folder of images and also reference a text file and merge the two. Is this possible?

basically, i have 300 images that are silhouetted and on a white background. i need to draw in arrows and then place the dimensions on the image, much like this:
But you're right - i will check on the scripting forum. thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

My iMac recently started making random beeping noises. They are all different pitches and lengths. Nothing like a notification. Also does it with the sound muted. I've deleted Skype (several people recommended that) and restarted & shutdown. Please help!

This has been going on for a few months and seems to be getting worse. At times it will be frequent, other times only a few random beeps an hour. Seems to be worse when something is loading or "thinking". I have a video of the beeping sounds I will upload when I get home as it won't let me do it here at work. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, it is driving me crazy! I'm also worried it will crash on me.

Beeps on startup:
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images.
5 beeps = processor is not usable

Maverick has messed up my computer. Slow scrolling in I photo. Bookmark icons are blue all the time and not marked with the company symbols. I cannot find out how to solve this.

I switched to Mavericks two weeks ago and have had nothing but troubles. Scrolling in I photo is slow and very inaccurate. When I click and drag a photo the ones above it all flicker, making it hard to find where to put it. My bookmarks bar Icons are all blue. Before they used to show the symbol for the company they represented. Now I click on one, it changes to what I want, then a few minutes of hour later, it goes back to the blue ball, which I hate. My font size is different with every page and I have to click Zoom in all the time. I tried adjusting it in Preferences in Advance settings on the right, but this does not solve the problem permanetly. I have one web page, a hockey one, which tries to load, then I get either a black page or a white one. Driving me nuts. I need some help. Been to Apple at the store, talked to them on the phone for four hours last week. Rebuilt the I photo library with no luck. Would appreciate any help. Please Thanks. I even keep a fan behind my computer to keep it cool, that is how much I look after this baby. Some say it might be Safari? Not sure. I have little computer experience, so please it you are kind enough to reply, do not use tech talk or short forms as I will not understand any of it.

Rick,
I have a few of your issues as well: 1) Safari popular icons are all bue making them very hard to distinguish from each other. 2) My font size is also different with each page / window. What I have been able to find out is that in the Maverick OS - Apple removed one size of display resolution 2048 x 1152. Whether this is the cause of my 27" screen clarity & font size issues, I do not know - but it seems like a contributing factor. Maybe help is on the way - maybe not. Cheers

Changing PDF Icons

I am having some trouble managing PDF file icons... I am hoping someone here can help. I am running Leopard; everything up to date.
I downloaded several books in PDF format. I now want to change the icons of each PDF file to match the front cover of said books. So I click on the file, get info, click on the icon on the top left, and paste the image. Everything seems to be fine on the get info screen; the icon on the top left changes to the respective image.
I then close get info and look at the Finder window containing the PDF files. This is where the problem begins. In cover flow mode, some of the images are simply not there, or they will appear and disappear if I resize the window, or click through the preview. The icons are all correct on the bottom file listing in this mode. Looking at the icon mode, some of the icons will have changed while others will not. I primarily use the icon or coverflow modes in finder which is why this is a problem.
I cannot detect any pattern in this behavior; some icons behave normally, most do not. All of the said images are PNG. Preview is my default PDF viewer. I am willing to do away with the "preview" function (where you can click through the PDF document within finder) in coverflow mode... it is useless anyway and I feel as if this is the actual problem. I can't seem to find a relevant set of preferences/settings, however.
Am I missing something? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Whether this is your problem or not, I don't know. But there is a bug in pasting icons where the icons won't show up in Cover Flow if the source png file for the icon was opened and copied out of Preview, and is of a largish size. Don't remember what the upper limit is, but I think is is 256 pixels max dimension. Any way, I just tried one using 500 pix max, and it doesn't show up, while 200 pix does.

[SOLVED]Gnome 3.10 Icons are broken

I upgraded earlier to Gnome 3.10. Although I've had a lot of problems.. I'm working on them one at a time.
Most of the default icons are not showing anymore. My Nautilus looks like this:
Some of the applications icons do still exist.
If I create a new user and log in, the icons are all fine. But I cannot figure out how to bring back icons on my own user account.
I tried running the command on http://askubuntu.com/questions/56313/ho … e-defaults, which set my favourites and wallpaper back to default. Icons still aren't fixed.
I tried running gtk-update-icon-cache on my icons folder. Tried running xdg-user-dirs-update. Tried sudo pacman -S $(pacman -Ssq gnome-icon-theme). Tried running /usr/bin/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache and tried reinstalling librsvg. None of these have helped.
Thanks.

Not solved for me I'm afraid. I'm running Openbox + Tint2 setup, with quite a few Gnome applications. I use the Oxygen icon theme.
Since the upgrade to the Gnome 3.10 packages, my GTK3 applications have missing icons which only reappear if I choose the GNOME icon theme using lxappearance, which modifies ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini. Here's my normal settings.ini:
[Settings]
gtk-theme-name=Clearlooks-Phenix
gtk-icon-theme-name=oxygen
gtk-font-name=Arimo 9
gtk-cursor-theme-name=aero-drop
gtk-cursor-theme-size=0
gtk-toolbar-style=GTK_TOOLBAR_BOTH_HORIZ
gtk-toolbar-icon-size=GTK_ICON_SIZE_MENU
gtk-button-images=1
gtk-menu-images=1
gtk-enable-event-sounds=1
gtk-enable-input-feedback-sounds=1
gtk-xft-antialias=1
gtk-xft-hinting=1
gtk-xft-hintstyle=hintfull
gtk-xft-rgba=rgb
When 'gtk-icon-theme-name=gnome' is used instead, the icons display in GTK3 applications.
Any ideas please how I can get the Oxygen theme to play nicely with Gnome 3.10 applications?

.pdf icons saved as 'plain text' style on desktop

Acrobat 8 Pro
Windows Vista Home Premium SP1
Hello Forum,
As suject, with the new Acrobat 8 Pro, my saved pdf files (pdf icons on desktop) are showing as 'plain text' view style. How do i make them back to the classic .pdf style.
Thanks

Hello Bill and thank you for your reply.
No, i can open them indeed, it's not a file association issue. They (icons) aren't really in 'plain text' view, it's a sort of way how they are displaying (looks like you can choose the way of displaying or something like that). By the way, I noticed that if i refresh my desktop (by pressing F5 key), these pdf icons are back to their 'classic' view but just for a miliseconds, before they turn to the strange behavior that i mentioned above. Could it be my display's refreshing rate or something like this?
Thank you again

Form colors all different in 9i after upgrading

After upgrading my forms from v6 to 9i, when I run them through 9ias, the colors are all different from what they were when it was client server. The colors are also very dark.
A related question, I setup the applet to be 600x800 in size, but my main screen isn't this big. The window where my main screen is located is fine color wise, but the rest of the applet window is black, which makes things look really dark.
Any suggestions?

Hi Jim, we spoke last week about your report server questions. I hope you were able to get those worked out.
To tweak your forms colors, make some changes in the formsweb.cfg file located in your Oracle_home/forms/server directory of your Business Intelligence and Forms part of the installation. Creating your own graphic for the background (we used white) can help lighten the screens some. Also, change between Oracle Look and Feel and Windows look and feel and see which you like better. Since we run Windows XP on all our desktops, we found the Oracle Look and Feel more closely resembled that. You can also play with the different color schemes in that file. We are using teal and that has satisfied most of our users.
Hope this helps,
Deborah
