Replacing one folder icon by a larger icon. How?

I have recently downloaded a set of nice folder icons from the Apple site, like one set in particular and have replaced a number of my folders with it. But now I want one of the larger sizes of this set to replace a folder on my desktop and can't figure out how to do that. The larger icon opens in preview, but when I open the Info pane (cmd-i) it is represented as a png, so I can't get to it (opening the png and working from there doesn't work either). The only size that will show up as an actual folder icon in the Info pane is the default size. So, anyone here knows how to do this? I'd be grateful for any help.

Afraid people probably don't quite understand what you mean. The largest size icons will display is 128x128 pixels. You set the icon display size for a folder or the Desktop, by going to View-Show View Options and dragging the slider. You can't have one folder display at a larger size than the others, they will all be the same.
You can use a png as an icon by opening it in Preview, then go to the Edit menu and select Copy. You then use the GetInfo for the folder you want to have the icon, select it at the top of the GetInfo pane, and select paste. The Finder will convert the original png to a 128x128 icon.

and on a second problem. I need to know for sure that my contacts are backed up on my computer

Create a parent folder on your computer to store the named folders of photos that you want transferred to your iPhone. Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, select the parent folder. All named folders of photos within will be transferred to your iPhone as separate folders or albums.
Regarding your 2nd question, this should be easy. Your contacts should be available on your computer with or without an iPhone or any cell phone, which can be lost or stolen.
Although contacts are included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, not a good idea to depend on this either since the iPhone backup includes a significant amount of other data. Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer. With Windoze, this can be with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express with XP and by Windows Mail with Vista and Windows 7 called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.

Flashing folder icon -- how to retrieve data with time machine?

Hello all --
I was away from home for three months. When I returned and turned on my trusty 20" iMac running OSX 10.7.5, I got the flashing folder icon. I have tried all the recommended methods of restoring the system and nothing has worked. The processor obviously will no longer recognize the hard drive, which to me means the hard drive has either crashed or the cable connecting the two has failed. I am not as concerned with saving the unit itself, but with saving my data. I have a 128 GB flash drive configured as a Time Machine backup that the processor can "see", but I don't know how to transfer that data to another machine or an external hard drive that could be used in one of my other Macs. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Dave

You restore the TM backup to the other Mac. Connect the TM drive to the "new" Mac and open Migration Assistant (Applications - Utilities - Migration Assistant) and migrate from the TM drive. Remember this will create a new user account.

How to replace one variable with another in large number of queries

Hello guys!
I have this situation: our company needs to use one variable instead of another for certain amount of queries.
Is there some way to automatically replace one variable with another for a certain characteristic in big number of queries ( like 150 - 200 ) ? Doing this manually would take lots of time)
Apreciate your help!

you could try (at your own risk) the following:
1. search the technical id (ELTUID) of your variable in table RSZELTDIR
2. see where this variable is used in table RSZELTXREF (by filling RSZELTDIR-ELTUIID in RSZELTXREF-TELTUID)
3. add similar entries for your new variable
4. delete the entries for the old variable (they're part of the key, so you can't simply "change" them)

I've lost my home and go back one page icons, how do I get them back? I reinstalled Firefox but it didn't help. Thank you!

My toolbar is all messed up. I no longer have a "go back one page" arrow or a "home" icon. I have tried added them as add-on, but nothing changes. I uninstalled Mozilla Firefox but it is still the same! Help please. I hate having to go to my history to go back one page. Thank you for your support!

Created Multiple Users & Home Icon Is A Plain'ol Folder Icon?

so i finally took the advice of every OSX security article i've ever read, and created a separate Admin user account. After doing so, i noticed that the 'home' icon in my sidebar, and in my user folder has changed to a regular folder icon. how can i fix this or change it back?

Hi Aldo!
If you navigate to Computer > HD > Users: isn't there still a Home folder for the original Administrative Account, with the House icon?
When you are logged in with the second account, I believe it is normal to see the Home, appear as a folder, rather than a House icon.
I think there can only be one account with a House icon.

How can I relace the Folder Icon with a more discriptive Icon

Bookmark toolbar: When you add a folder, it uses a "folder" Icon. How I replace that "folder Icon with a more Discriptive Icon, so I don't need to add text?

There are extensions that can replace the favicon of a bookmark, but AFAIK then there aren't extensions that can replace a folder icon.
The only way to do that is via code in userChrome.css and specify an icon for each folder.<br />
Place the icons in the same chrome folder as the userChrome.css file.
The folder name is case sensitive and need to be exactly the same as specified for the bookmarks folder
<pre><nowiki>#personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item[container][label="Folder_Name"] {
list-style-image:url('folder-icon.png')!important;-moz-image-region:auto!important;}
</nowiki></pre>
Add the code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.

How do I move pictures from one folder to another folder?

How are photos moved from one folder to another? Second question: How can a folder be renamed?

In PSE11 Organizer, your managed folders(folders from which you have imported your media) are shown in your left panel under "My Folders". There is a small icon next to this label 'My folders" which on mouse hover says: "Show folder hierarchy". Click on this one to see the folder tree. Now expand teh tree to a folder from where you want to move files from. Also expand the folder tree such that your destinatio folder is also visible. Just click on source folder so that you see the media to be moved. Select and drag them to the destination folder icon.
Also if you want to move your media to an unmanged folder(which does not have any media imported into EO yet), you need to right click teh parent folder and select "show all sub folders" to view that folder. And then you can move your media in the same way.
Hope that helps!

My iPad used to organize TV shows by show name, now all the shows are in one folder.

When I used to sync my iPad with iTunes, all my Tivoed TV shows would neatly organize according to show name. Now they are all dumped into one folder. It is frustrating. How can I get them organized again?

To move a library from an old machine to a new machine:
Simply copy the old Library to the Pictures Folder in your new machine and launch iPhoto. There is no importing involved.
When you imported the old library you lost all the albums and imported all the duplication.
Do you still have the old library? Then trash the new one and start over.

Is there anyone there? I hope there is someone who can you understand this problem and have the common sense to respond?
I open gmail. I want to save an email to one of my folders.
I position my cursor over the appropriate Folder icon or by choice, to the Trash.
The friendly finger pointing cursor icon changes to an arrow icon.
The hand icon allows me flawless access to opening and/or moving emails.
The arrow, however does not open the link.
On the Google menu bar the cursor hand with finger opens the links to Everett (my name), Search, Images, Maps and Play.
When I attempt to open the remaining links in the menu bar (YouTube, News, Gmail, Drive, Calendar and More) the arrow icon replaces the hand. The arrow icon does not work. It will not activate these links. Nor does it open email messages in the Inbox.
Usually I reset, even reboot Safire and sometimes the problem goes away, then reappears.
Can you imagine if this condition should it happen to a tech savvy Google Support person? Perhaps one can share and make my problem go away.
I am considering dropping Google as my mail source. Unfortunate!

I have uninstalled my Access Connection, but this problem seems to persist. IBM technician have changed the wireless card of my T60, the first few days after it was changed was very fine, no problem at all. About a week later, the problem occured again, and it happened quite frequently after that occurence. Now i really have no idea what is the cause and how to solve it. Will be greatful if there is anyone that can help me.

I just replaced the power supply in my Intel imac and now the screen is really really dark and I see the missing folder icon, what do I do?

The power supply in my Intel iMac went out (and smelled pretty burned) so I replced it and now when I start it up the display is so dark I can hardly see it and it shows the missing folder icon. Is it the inverter? Or if shine a flashlight on it and re-install the OS will changing the display settings maybe fix it?

Thanks for ur quick reply to my problem. I tried all of that with no results... I did notice tho that the lights next to and above my caps lock key and my num lk key are now flashing. They flash in unison three times then there is a two second pause then they flash three more times and this repeats. They may have been doing this before I tried this solution but I did not take notice until now... I was also wondering how I am supposed to know, after pressing f10 to enter bios, how I can tell if my new drive is being detected when my monitor will not function? Was pressing f10 supposed to possibly make the monitor turn on? In a last ditch effort to try and further identify the problem, I re installed my old drive. Before replacing it my computer would begin to boot then display a hard error that would not allow me to continue booting and run Windows. My display would still work but I could not run Windows. After re installing the drive the monitor will not turn on. I'm beginning to think that I have a bad monitor. Is there a way of testing this with out buying one? Where does the monitor connect to the mother board? I wonder if maybe its been jarred loose, although I highly doubt it, it may still be worth looking at. Thanks again for your advice.

HT1553 I did the back up as instructed... Installed a larger hard drive and followed the restore instructions... Now I get a white screen with a folder icon and blinking question mark. When trying to set startup with new drive I get a bless tool error...

If you have installed a new hard drive , you will need to have formatted it in Disk Utility correctly. This may explain your problem.
Boot into your 10.6 Install disk again at the top menubar > Utilities > select Disk utility and in there select your new hard drive, and select the tab Erase and choose to make the format as Mac OS Extended Journaled. When that is finished look in the main window to make sure that the partition map scheme says GUID Partition Table.
Now go to the Restore tab and reinstall from your backup.
