Rename a desktop shortcut on the iPad 4?

Is it possible to rename a desktop shortcut on the iPad 4 with iOS 8.1.1?

For Safari shortcuts you will need to go to the website in Safari and create a new home screen shortcut for it, you can't rename existing shortcuts on a homescreen

How do I rename a Numbers document on the iPad and view it on my Mac?

Hello
I created a new spreadsheet on the ipad. When I went to sync in itunes it created a file called blank. Better yet how do I work on it. I dragged to desktop and launched pages. Has to be a better way.

confirmed on the renaming issue. Just tap the name while in file selection area and rename.

Nope, that sounds about right (except that you would have launced Numbers for a spreadsheet). You copy it off the ipad through iTunes and open it in the parent app.

Seriously no shortcuts on the iPad BT keyboard?!? WTH!!

Are there no shortcuts for the BT keyboard such as bold? I know it's been asked before but come on apple.

Apple folks can't hear you here. You need to let them know through their feedback system. No one here but us users.

Maxx Hotspot won't play nice with an IPad, Win7 laptop, and XP desktop. If the IPad connects to the hotspot first, it seems to lock the laptop out of an internet connection. Does anyone have a fix for this?

I recently had to replace my Razr Maxx with a newer model. XT1080 8984 The older model would handle multiple connections without a problem. However, the newer model (and newer OS?) has some sort of conflict between the IPad and the Win7 Laptop. I've spent a day getting the laptop connected to the internet and don't have a great deal of confidence that the connections won't fail in a moments notice.
Any suggestions or solutions?
Thanks

Thanks for all the extra details, shkc. While the occasional reboot is a good idea on any device, we certainly don't want you to need multiple restarts either. Try deleting the WiFi connection on all the connected devices. Then on your Maxx, go to Menu>Settings>More (under Wireless & Networks)>Tethering & Mobile Hotspot>Mobile Hotspot Settings>Configire Mobile Hotspot. First, change the Network Name to something a bit different with no special characters. Also, change the Broadcast Channel from Auto to a specific number, such as 10. Then save your changes and create the WiFi connection from the beginning on each of your connected devices.

Is it possible to lock the orientation of the lockscreen/desktop photo on the iPad 2?

I changed both lock screen and wallpaper photo from the default. Both change orientation as if you are looking at the photo in a gallery. Is it possible to lock the orientation?

Firefox won't open from the desktop shortcut nor the program file on the start page.

On many occasions, Firefox will not start (load) unless I reboot my laptop. Version 3.6 on Windows Vista.

Actually, it's not just Mail that isn't working, but the Finder is crashing as well, and there may also be other problems that I don't fully understand. If you can manage to use the computer at all, proceed as follows.
Verify/repair your disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the latest system update using the Combo installer:
Mac OS X 10.4.7 Combo Update for PPC
Read the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates

Basically, you should verify/repair the boot volume before installing the update, and no applications should be running while installing it.

How can I restore a desktop iCal calendar from an iPad backup copy? The iPad is routinely backed up to the computer and still has the calendar on it but I cannot get it to display on my desktop.

One of several calendars was accidently deleted from the desktop. It is still present on the iPad and backed up to the desktop. Additionally, the iPad version can no longer be edited, copied or moved.

Thanks for confirming my approach.
I have tried your approach. I have a calendar with the most recent and future events; it is visible on all appliances; and, it syncs to the cloud without issue. I think I will wait for a very rainy day to transcribe five years of past events.
BTW, the corrupt calendar cannot be deleted from the iPad using any normal appoach; additionally, the events cannot be edited or modified except as described above. I will follow up with Apple but this calendar predates the iCloud and apparently there are known issues in moving those calendars to the cloud.
I tried restoring the calendar folder from Time Machine. It loaded initially, at least for the month I was watching as it loaded, and then deleted it again. So, the calendar I want to display still exists but is not accessible.
Thanks for your time and help. If I learn any more from Apple, I will pass it along.
Cheers, ...

Syntax of the JNLP file (web start) for JFX to allow desktop shortcut/icon?

I'm having a hard time getting this to work. I'm using NetBeans v7.1.2. First of all - the resulting .jnlp file comes with the applet, as well as the application specification. The classloader is different in both of the cases from what I've seen.
<applet-desc width="800" height="600" main-class="com.javafx.main.NoJavaFXFallback" name="jwsapp" >
<param name="requiredFXVersion" value="2.0+"/>
</applet>
<jfx:javafx-desc width="800" height="600" main-class="jwsapp.Main" name="jwsapp" />
What I did was edit out the applet part - now there is no entry in the "Type" of application in the javaws cache, it's simply blank. And it's still launched as an applet (judging by the console trace). Now we have "<jfx:javafx-desc", instead of application-desc? What does that affect? Is it safe to just fallback to 'application-desc' (then the type is properly detected)? I haven't been able to find any info on this whatsoever.
Shortcuts.. I have Java 2.1.1 installed and this:
          <shortcut online="false">
               <desktop/>
          </shortcut>
does absolutely nothing for me. The shortcut never appears (even though this addition to .jnlp was designated by NetBeans). Moreover, how would I go about attaching icons to this shortcut?
Does anyone have a working .jnlp example, that is actually able to allocate a shortcut with a predefined icon on the desktop? Thank you.

It works fine for me.
I'm using latest FX samples and latest 7u6 on Mac OS X.
Tested with slightly modified version of BrickBreaker.jnlp that includes
<shortcut online="false">
<desktop/>
</shortcut>
and the shortcut is always created to me.
Could you please try the latest 7u6 build?
If it's still reproducible, please file a new bug at http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/

Office 2013 - Creating desktop shortcuts using OCT

I need to create desktop shortcuts using the Office Customization Tool. But how does one do this when they have both 32 and 64 bit machines in the environment? The "Start In" path below is obviously going to be different when dealing with
32 and 64 bit OS machines (c:\program files vs c:\program files(x86))
I'm following these directions but they look to be specific to a 64 bit machine: http://mystang69.blogspot.com/2013/08/office-customisation-tool-2013-adding.html

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179097.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396#Configure_shortcuts
Start in
Enter a path to specify the default starting folder for the application. If you leave this box blank, the default folder is set to the folder where the destination file resides. If the path is not valid on a user's
computer, the user sees an error message when the user tries to use the shortcut.
Do you need to set a start in location?

NWBC v3.0 installed, but "nothing happens" upon executing desktop shortcut

I have a problem with v3.0 of NWBC that I have recently installed. Upon double clicking on the desktop shortcut icon, the initial NWBC 3.0 splash screen is displayed, but then nothing else happens. I am not presented with any screen where I am able to select a backend system to connect to. Task Manager shows the service "sapstartsrv.exe" still running (I'm assuming that this is linked to NWBC), but no other evidence can be seen that NWBC is actually running.
I would like to add that NWBC v1.0 works perfectly well on the same PC, and connects successfully to backend SAP systems.
Some additional information.
- I have just installed SAPlogon 7.20 + restarted (as the previous version 7.10 patch level 14 did not meet the required level of 7.1 level 15)
- I am running XP SP3. Windows hotfix 919477 is not required, as it is already present as part of one of the XP SPs.
- I have reverted from Google Chrome as my default browser back to IE (+ restarted), to see if this made any difference, but still no luck.
Many thanks in advance to anyone who can shed any light on this issue, given the "scraps" of information provided above.
Alistair Crawshaw

Hi Ali,
I am also facing the same issue. After installing NWBC 3.0 when I try to run it, it just display the SAP splash screen and then get closed automatically and I am not getting any screen to select the backend system to connect.
I saw your reply:
+Please ignore my question above. The problem was due to the fact that the backend ECC system that we were connecting to did not have the relevant EHP + Support Pack Level. After updating these, the connection was successful.+
But how did you get the screen to add backend system to which you want to connect?
Regards,
Vikram

Custom icon for desktop shortcut

Hi All,
I have a link in the portal which when the end users click should create a desktop shortcut to the portal.
I used this to create the desktop shortcut
var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
strDesktop = WshShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop");
var oShellLink = WshShell.CreateShortcut(strDesktop + "
Portal.url");
oShellLink.TargetPath = "URL to the portal";
oShellLink.Save();
By default we get the IE icon for this shortcut. I want a custom icon to be associated with this shortcut.
I can use oShellLink.IconLocation but the icon needs to be in every users c:\windows folder.
Does somebody know how can I add this custom icon?
Many Thanks,
Akhilesh

New create desktop shortcut GPO is causing 1030 and 1058 errors on a Windows 2003 terminal server

Primary DC: Win2012. BDC: Win2008. Clients: Win7, Win8.1. Maintaining an old Win2003 terminal server to run legacy software.
Everything works fine for a look time until I added a new GPO to create a desktop shortcut on the client machines, Windows 2003 runs into Error 1030 (Cannot query list of GPO) and Error 1058 (Cannot access the file gpt.ini for GPO, The system cannot find
the path specified) GP processing aborted).
Tried changing the GPO to target Win7 and 8.1 only. Tried creating shortcut using Computer Config settings only as well as User Config settings only. Deleting the GPO and creating it from scratch. Nothing works, as soon as GPO is in place,
it disables the Win2003 from processing any other GPO.
No issue with the client machines or other Windows servers.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Roget Luo

Hi Roget,
Thanks for posting here.
Error 1030 and 1058 could be caused by many aspects.
Firstly, please run the command dcdiag on the command prompt of a DC to check if there are any error.
Secondly, make sure the DFS service is started on the domain controller, and set the Startup type to automatic.
What's more, make sure the TCP/IP Helper service is started on the domain co, set it to Automatic and started it.

I can't see the Ipad apps to organize in itunes

So, I can download my ipad apps to the ipad fine. However, on the apps page once connected to itunes it is blank?

To be more clear and specific. I plug in my usb cable to my desktop and find the Ipad device listed in Itunes. I click on that device and see the summary page. Two tabs over is the Apps tab. The left hand side shows all my apps (whether Iphone or Ipad apps I have purchased on this computer). However the right hand column, which typically shows how to organize your apps is blank. HELP!

Placing desktop shortcuts in Mac

hi there,
I've created an installer(.pkg file) using "Package Maker" for shipping some files and for creating alias(desktop shortcuts) for the shipped folder in customer's machine. But I'm not really sure, creating alias in customer's machine is a good practice. My question here is,
1. Whether it is a good practice to create aliases in the customer's machine ?
2. Is there any, Apple's Human Interface Guidelines regarding this ?
thanks is advance for any helps,
- Balaji

There are some common practices in regards to installing applications on OSX:
Mac App Store applications (.app files) automatically get installed in the Applications folder (/Application).
Apps distributed as .dmg (disc image) files typically contain the application, readme files and an alisa (shortcut) to "/Applications" when the disc image is mounted. The user can then easily put the files in "/Applications" by dragging them to the alias or choose to put the files in some other location.
Apps distributed as plain .zip files typically expand to a .app file or a folder containing the .app file and readme files. The user is then expected to place the .app file / folder in any location they like.
Most .pkg installers give a choice on which HD to install, but will then proceed to put the .app file in "/Applications". Note that a .pkg installer should only be used when the application can not be distributed as a simple .app file.
Shortcuts (aliases) are not created as part of a OSX app install.
Mac users have several ways to find and access their installed apps:
Via the Applications folder in the dock.
Via any other folder placed in the dock.
By clicking on an application previously added to the dock by the user.
Via search using Spotlight.
Via Launchpad.
By using the Finder to directly find the application.
