Removing Folder/Application name under the icon on desktop

I've run into a bit of an issue while customizing my Macbook's desktop. I've found a beautiful icon set (Kobhens Icon Set) which has the name of the application/"Macintosh HD" on the icon. The issue is that I cannot figure out how to remove the name label below the application/folder icon on the desktop. I'm being pedantic, but I'd love to kill off the label for "Macintosh HD" on the desktop and for a few other applications like Firefox and Itunes without replacing the name with spaces.
I was wondering if this is possible through any settings menu or maybe through Terminal???
Any help would be greatly appreciated, so please let me know if I need to clarify anything.

Thanks for the response.
So there's no way to remove the icon labels (even with a third party application)? That's a bummer. Well, maybe there's a way to work around it... The desktop background I'm using is black/white. Is there any way to change the label's text color to match the background (i.e. make the text black on the black background or make the text white on the white background)?
I find it odd that such a simple (albeit useless) task would be impossible.
As always, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    When you right click on a file you are presented with the "Open With" menu item and you are also presented with a list of applications that could potentially be used to open that file.
    In my case, when I click on a file of type .mov I am presented with the name of an application that I want to remove from the list, because that application ( Miro.app (2.5.2) ) no longer exists on my system.
    What is the best way to remove that application name from the list?

    Ok, but how does one remove some of the applications that are appear in the context menu for a given file type? Is there an asc file which can be edited?
    For example, in my system a PDF can be opened with over 10 applications. I would like to see just the three ones I use: Acrobat, Skim and Preview.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Button with text UNDER the icon

    Ho,
    I want to create a square button, where the text is UNDER the icon.
    Is there an easy way to do this, or do I need to write my own component?
    Cheers
    Jens

    Hi,
    Use ID in your button. Suppose i have used buttonId then my CSS will look like this.
    <style type="text/css">
    #buttonId-img.sapUiIcon {
    text-align: center;
    display: block;
    vertical-align: top;
    line-height: 100%;
    #buttonId.sapMBtn  {
    height: 5.0rem;
    min-width: 5.0rem;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    vertical-align: top;
    background-color: #f7f7f7;
    border: 1px solid #bfbfbf;
    color: #333333;
    text-shadow: 0 1px 0 #ffffff;
    font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
    font-size: 0.875rem;
    .sapMBtnContent>.sapUiIcon {
    color: #666666;

    line-height: 2.875rem;
    width: 2.875rem;
    text-align: center;
    margin: auto;
    </style>
    This is screenshot.
    Id of first button id buttonId and for second is button1Id.

  • Ask your question.please help itunes will not launch on my computer the icon on desktop has changed to a white folder no error message appears and it appears but then disappears in task manager when the programme will not open quick time is working

    please help i need to fix my itunes it will not launch on my computer . no error message appears it simply will not run. the icon on desktop has changed to a white folder and it still appears in programmes in start menu but will not open. it appears in task manager but disappears when the programme will not open

    You music etc should not be affected by problems with the iTunes program, nevertheless it is always a good idea to backup your data.
    You haven't said if there was any error message when you tried to start iTunes. If  there was one please give it in full.
    Also check to see if QuickTime works, iTunes can not work without it. If QuickTime doesn't work, it has to be fixed before worrying about iTunes.
    Then restart your PC and open your Task manger and select the Processes tab.
    Try to start iTunes, does iTunes.exe appear on the processes tab? If so does it disappear again or remain although the programs does not open?

  • [O365] [EWSMA 2.0] [C#] [Windows] How do you create a contact folder that resides under the "My Contacts" node in OWA for O365

    In OWA for Office 365 you can create a contact folder that resides under the "My Contacts" node on "Peoples" tab. This folder ends up appearing under the "Contacts" folder in the exchange store. However, if you attempt to create
    a contact folder under "My Contacts" using Outlook it ends up under "Other Contacts" node in OWA for O365. Even if you attempt to position folder at the root of exchange store it still places it under the "Other Contacts" folder.
    The same is also true if you attempt to create a folder using EWS. Is there a way to create a folder using EWS that will appear under the "My Contacts" node in OWA for O365? I've tried the following with no luck:
    ContactsFolder myContactsFolder = new ContactsFolder(EwsService);
    myContactsFolder.DisplayName = "My contacts folder";
    // Set other properties
    myContactsFolder.Save(WellKnownFolderName.Contacts);
    and
    ContactsFolder myContactsFolder = newContactsFolder(EwsService);
    myContactsFolder.DisplayName = "My contacts folder";
    // Set other properties
    myContactsFolder.Save(WellKnownFolderName.MsgFolderRoot);

    Hi Tony,
    Lots of questions, here goes:
    CAN YOU: Yes.  You can create multiple server nodes.  You can add a server node by going into the Visual Administrator and clicking the add node button.  Make sure you have the required space on the physical drive to accomodate the space needed for the new node (hint: check the space of your existing node).
    PERFORMANCE: Yes, maybe.  If you are running on a 32bit OS, yes, this will definitely improve your performance as you are most likely memory constrained at the moment.  If you are running on an x64 or 64bit OS, you will find that performance will improve but only to the extent that you have memory free and that you have available CPU for the new node.  Remember Java processes are CPU hogs at times, especially during startup, and the more of them you have, the more CPU you need.  Also, watch out for garbage collections.  Be sure to tune your instance to with incrementals and fulls in mind.  Another benefit of multiple nodes is the HA you get by default when you add more than 1 node.  Now if 1 node should crash or restart, your portal is still running and accessible on the other node.
    PARAMETERS: Yes and no.  For java startup parameters, you can create a template under the global --> servers to have your parameters be all the same  When you create a node, those parameters will be used.   But, your currently configured child configuration parameters will not be reflected in the new instance since those parameters are taken from the global (parent).  This is what the global is for and you should consider adjusting the global if you want your child nodes to have consistant values.
    Let me know if you have more questions.

  • Remove my Skype Name from the Skype directory

    Hello, can you please help me. I want you (someone who does that) to remove my Skype Name from the Skype directory.
    I removed all my personal information from my profile.
    "If you want us to remove your Skype Name from the Skype directory, you need to contact our Skype Customer Service. It may take up to two weeks to remove your name from the directory."
    I've read everything about this topic. So, please, can you just do that?

    Hi, Amy-992, and welcome to the Community,
    Because our Community is not a branch of Skype Customer Service, as is explained in our Community Guidelines, in fact we are not authorized to process account-related customer service requests.
    Please do contact Skype Customer Service to file your request to remove the account - remember, this is a one-time request, is permanent, and will disable your account from further use.
    Here is a link to the instruction on how to contact Skype Customer Service via their secure portal: Contact Customer Service
    If you experience difficulty reaching Skype Customer Service, try again using a different web browser. Also, look to approve a pop-up dialogue box which would connect you to start an instant message chat with a customer service agent. If you have pop-ups blocked in your browser settings, this will also impede reaching an agent.

  • My podcast is now live on itunes but I would like to change the name under the Podcast title from my real name to artist name. How can i do this?

    I have started a podcast page where i will be uploading weekly radio shows. Id like for it to say my artist name not my real name under the Podcast Title but i cant seem to see how to change that. Can someone please help?
    Thank you!

    Your name is normally carried in the 'itunes:author' tag and appears in smaller print above the title. You can change either this or the title itself in the same place in whatever program you are using to make your podcast and reupload the feed. You don't need to take any further action; the Store willn probably take a few days to update.
    However, if you are going to change the title be careful: some podcast creatioin methods give the rss file a filename drawn from the title, and if you change the title it may change that. You can't have that happen because the Store will lose contact with the feed if its URL changes (there is a way round this which I will explain if you really need me to - do not proceed without checking on this). If your feed filename is something like rss.xml or feed.xml then there isn't a problem about the title.

  • How do you remove your FULL name from the SYSTEM COMPLETELY?!?!

    I have added and removed the user thinking that would remove my full name from the system, but when I click on the "About this Mac" and then click on More info, My FULL NAME is still there as the owner of the computer. I am selling it and I do not want my name on the computer at all and do not wish to format the whole drive to do so. Is there another way of removing it? I appreciate anyone that has the correct answer.

    System Preferences>Sharing>Computer Name.
    BTW, unless you know and completely trust the person to whom you are selling, this is not the way to do things. Your sensitive data may still be recoverable.

  • Why don't the indicator lights come on under the icons in the Dock anymore?

    Hi,
    A seemingly silly question, but it's bugging me.
    The indicator lights under the icons in the Dock have stopped lighting up when a program is active. How do I turn them back on?
    Thanks!

    Did you try logging out and back in again? That should clear it up.

  • When I use under file save page as a desktop icon firefox downloads 2 a icon and a folder, how do I get rid of the folder and just keep the icon like in I.E.

    I'm just trying to save my favorite website short cut icon to the desktop instead of using bookmarks for everything. In I.E. you have the option to save to desktop your favorite website and you only get a shortcut icon. but in Firefox if you save your website to your desktop you get both the website icon but also a folder. but if I try to remove or delete the folder it removes the icon also. how in Firefox can I get just a shortcut icon for favorite website but without the folder.

    Hi Panamark,
    The problem has been resolved for me. I am a little fuzzy on how it got fixed.
    I only have 3G, so I think I went to the library to use wi-fi.
    I think I just deleted the stuck apps, and the downloaded them again. You do not have to pay again when you download a previously purchased app.
    It is now August, and fortunately I have not had any stuck apps lately.
    As you may already know, you cannot download an app over 20 MB via 3G.
    I have the Kindle app also. No new updates lately. I only bought one thing using Kindle. It was a guide to iPad that was only $1.99 or so, but it did not really have anything that cannot be found in normal free Apple guide.
    I have borrowed an ebook from the library using Overdrive app. You can choose the ebook version from Kindle.
    I don't have any weather apps.
    Let me know what happened when you get the chance.

  • Open Sourcing an iPhone Application acceptable under the License Agreement?

    I've read through the licensing agreement, but I'm still not convinced either way. I want to make my iPhone application's source code available on the internet and set up a project page and SVN repository on a site such as Google Code. I wouldn't be distributing my signing keys and would be the single source for submitting the app to iTunes. Is this allowed under the License Agreement?

    (Disclaimer: IANAL, I'm just a smart guy who's worked on GPL projects.)
    That isn't the relevant part of the iPhone license agreement. The GPLv2 (which is probably the most important open source license for this question, as it's both very popular and has restrictions on mixing with proprietary code) does not encompass headers and libraries that are part of the operating system. That's how people can write open source Windows and Mac applications--believe me, Microsoft would not be pleased if someone contacted them and said that since Gaim was open source, they had to release the source code to the Win32 API. So the GPLv2 would not attempt to "annex" anything provided by Apple, and thus it wouldn't violate that section.
    What may be relevant is the iPhone license section concerning confidentiality. If the class, method, function and constant names are considered "Apple Confidential Information", you would be in violation of the contract if you distributed code that revealed them. I rather suspect that nothing in the Foundation or Core Foundation frameworks could be considered confidential, as information about them is freely available to anyone who has the Mac OS X Core Library, which is distributed with every copy of Leopard. UIKit, Core Location, etc. are another story; I personally think that the fact that the APIs are included in the free SDK ought to preclude considering them confidential, but Apple might think differently.
    In other words: you're definitely safe using LGPLv2 libraries. If the code would also compile with the Mac OS X SDK, you're almost certainly safe releasing it under the GPLv2*. If the code uses UIKit or other frameworks documented in the free SDK, you may be safe releasing it under the GPLv2. If you release any code that uses APIs that only licensed developers have access to under the GPLv2, you're probably totally screwed.
    The GPLv3 is much stricter, and so the story there might be different; for example, I think it may have key-releasing requirements that would conflict with the contract. I don't really know much about it, though.
    \* Remember, the original copyright holder can create alternate licensing arrangements for specific people. So he can say "anyone can use this code under the GPL, and as a special exception, it can be linked against FooCorp's non-GPL software". But to use anyone else's GPL code, you'd have to get all of the authors of that code to agree to the same exception. Alternately, you can just release your own code under the LGPL instead and then it's all good.

  • How can I remove old calendar names from the iTunes sync list?

    I gave my calendars new names as part of reducing the total number of calendars in my iCal, and now iTunes still lists the old calendar names as well as the new ones in its "selected calendars" list, even though these names are no longer present in my iCal nor on my iPod Touch. How can I remove the old calendar names?

    The "genius" folks at the Apple Store lived up to their names. The key was to reset the iSync history in the iSync Preferences.
