System files on OSX Lion / Changing the bakround of Log-on screen
I found a guide to how to change the incredibly boring bakround in the log-on screen on OSX Lion, which was described really easy. And since its such a boring bakround and since i like to customize my stuff, was just about to go through the few basic steps to change it.
When i directly ran in to a problem.
In order to change the bakround, i need to find this location "/System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Versions/C/Resources" and then the file "NSTexturedFullScreenBackgroundColor.png".
But, If i search in finder, it shows no results at all if i search for the filename, and no results shown when i search for any of the folders names...
Why??
I have done no changes since i bought my macbook pro 13.3", with OSX Lion on it a few weeks ago. I am the admin and only user of the macbook.
It is set to Swedish as the main language, could that result in the system files having different names?
Otherwise other ways to change the log-on screen's bakround will be appreciated as well.
As long as the tip is not "Ravissant", wich i have already looked at, but that would only make the log-on screen even uglier.
I found the tips on this site: http://http://t3kd.com/blog/2011/07/27/how-to-change-os-x-lion-login-screen-back ground/?pid=313
Even though i'm not asking for help to understand this "how to", i'm just asking why my computer can't find thoose files.
Help Appreciated /optifekk
That has never been a feature of Mac OS X, but I believe there was some kind of third-party software that could add that capability. i don't recall what its name is, but you must have had that installed, and it either isn't installed anymore (perhaps removed as incompatible?) or is not working properly in Mountain Lion.

I have changed my address to another country in my appstore account.I bought OSX Lion in the past. After the change in my address I couldn't download for free because I had paid for it before. I couldn't find in my purchase history ,too.
Hi ...
Your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location."

Billing policy is the same for both the iTunes and Mac App Stores. -
Sharing pst (outlook) files over OSX lion server
Hi,
I can share every type of files via osx lion server. But if I try to share .pst files (Outlook) files and try to connect from a Windows 7 pc to the share. It doesn't work.
Any idea?
Best Regards,
ChristianI found out that I can open the Access db but only if I choose "open exclusively" in the office file dialog box, meaning that other users on the network won't be able to open the db when I have it open.
So it seems a file lock issue. Anybody having an idea what I could try to change the SMB file lock behaviour on OSX Lion would help me allot.
Thanks

Beware Moving Files in OSX Lion
Anybody having problems moving files in OSX Lion? I tried to move some files from my Downloads folder to a USB Flash Drive and it looked like the file moved successfully but the file doesn't exist in either my USB Flash Drive nor my Downloads folder. The files just disappeared.
The only way to fix this problem is to reboot the machine. Eventually, the OS will get back into this state and you won't know it until you try to move some files and end up losing them instead. This is the third time this has happened to me since upgrading to OSX Lion.Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
Drag or copy – do not type – the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
chmod -R -N ~
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
sudo !!
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select ▹ Restart from the menu bar. -

How can one edit a .gif file graphics background and change the fonts in Photoshop Elements 13?
I am trying to change the color and fonts of some of my web sites .gif files. Can I change the color to another hexadecimal color and change the fonts of the letters in Photoshop 13? I am using Windows 7 and heard that you could save the .gif file to another format, edit it, then change the file back to a .gif file. Is this true? If so, how do you do it? The file just has a solid color with the letters "Firm " on it. No animation.
You can edit a gif without changing the format, but once you save the file as a gif the text becomes part of the image, not text anymore, so you would need to clone or heal away the existing text and then create a new text layer and use save for web to create a new gif.
For access to the most editing tools, while the file is open in the editor go to image>mode and change it from index color to RGB. Saving as a gif will change it back to index mode. -
After creation of PO system should not allow to change the price in PO
Hi There,
In my scenario once PO is created then after send to vendor PO print document,Users are changing the price in PO.so system should not allow to change the price in PO once PO got saved.
So please advice.Hi,
you could set in customizing for field selection keys the net price
to display for ME22N so that changes can not be made
(transaction OLME -> purchase order -> Define Screen Layout at Document Level).
Please check that you have set all the relevant field selection
groups to display: AKTV, ME22, ME22N... (read and apply note 30316)
Other workaround is try to do by yourself with the badi
ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST and send your own error message.

i had earlier installed adobe dreamweaver cs3 on windows 7 my system got crashed, we have changed the hardware installed win 8.1 now dreamweaver is giving activation error exceeded activation limit please help
Hello,
what concerns your wish about an uinstaller, so you should use
https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs3-product-downloads.html >>> AND note this "Read before you download a CS3 product". And esp, "You need your CS3 serial number to complete the installation" but this shouldn't be a problem for you, because you had an official version and so you can use all these informations like https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html

How can i change the image in portal logon screen

how can i change the image in portal logon screen
thanks

kamalHi
Download the par file com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par.bak from
Go to System Administration -- Support -- Portal Runtime -- Browse Deployment.
The path should ROOT/WEB-INF/deployment/pcd. Now download that file into local system.
Create a Par project and make necessary chenages ..i.e
Open the downloaded par file with WinZip and inside the lib folder three jar files named com.sap.
portal.runtime.logon_api.jar, com.sap.portal.runtime.logon_core.jar and umelogonbase.jar will be there. Copy those files in the folder u2018libu2019 in par project.
Now change a branding Image...i.e
Replace the branding-image. jpg with your company branding image in the same name.
Once modifications are done,then create a par project and upload the par file into portal.
Go to the path System Administration -- Support -- Support Desk -- Portal Runtime -- Administration console.
then browse the file and click on upload.
Connect to server where the Portal WebAS is running and go to:
(drive):\usr\sap\<system id>\<system instance>\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\com.sap.security.core.admin\servlet_jsp\logon\root\layout.
There you will find the images used on logon screen, you can replace them for your
company images, please take care with the width of the images, as usual, to make this
change effective, you must restart the whole WebAS.

The system doesn´t let me change the dock and .jar files
Dear professionals,
since a couple of days I come across with a weird problem:
I am logged in as admin but the system doesn`t perform several modifications:
such as:
if I remove a broken link from the dock (grey questionmark) and replace it with a new link to the new app the next session everything is unchanged and the questionmark is back.
if I want firefox not to play quicktime and try to change the preferences it flips back immediately
if I want to open Cocktail to schek something it does not accept me as admin - whereas the systems calls me admin.
maybe the futile attempt to alter the minecraft.jar has the same reason.
At many files the file info shows a strange entry at the botten where the sharing/permission are listed: Name is "Laden..." meanig "Loading..." with the dots and as symbol a grey person with tiny questionmark; permission is "read only"
History:
Till now I never used a password and logged in automatical as admin
I upgraded to Lion
I installed a second account to have a workspace not as admin
I gave a password to the admin account
I got nuts with the second account as I couldn´t change the preferences of firefox and delete files and so on
I gave administration rights to the second account to customize the workspace
I realized the problems with the admin account - changes where ignored/forgotten by the system w/o warnings
I deleted the second account as it seemed to cause the trouble
I repaired the rights in the admin account
I repaired the HD with HD recovery
I try to check the system with cocktail but cocktail tells me the password is not sufficient - it opens the app but it refuses any modifications
I switched to manual login
System tells me that the keychain.login does not accept the password
I set the password for keychain also
keychain first aid tells me the password does not work ?
I removed the password from admin account
I removed the password from keychain first aid is happy
Repair rights does not find any trouble
Cocktail does not accept me anyway anymore, without password (as i logged in) or the former passwords- it blocks at all.
And all the other stuff listed at the beginning drives me crazy
File Info window tells me i have adapted rights- whatever it means, as i am listed with full read/write rights
now I am stunned.
I would like to use my Installation disk to repair anything - but as it is not the lion system I am afraid to cause more trouble.
Does anyone have a clue?
And sorry for the strange text- english is not my native language
And, btw, is netinfo manager removed by lion? it does not appear on my volume.
Thanks for Your help

Saving illustrator CS5 files in Mac OSX Lion makes the app to crash
Hello!
I have serious troubles with illustrator since i've installed Lion. All my files are stored in a networked Western Digital USB disk connected to the Airport Extreme via USB port. When a file is open in illustrator and try to save ir after a few changes the APP CRASH! No matter if the file was in the desktop or in the networked drive, always crash! The file is saved OK and with no errors but the app crash and need to be "Force Quited" and open again...
Anybody has this issue with illustrator and Lion? Anybody has a fix for this?
THANKS!!!Like leitowys all of my ai files that are saved over the network (on time capsule) do it... Big or small.
I should also note I never had this problem in Snow Leopard ... On my laptop I reverted back to snow leopard after upgrading to lion, and my illustrator works fine again saving over network etc.
Also, when I try to force quit once it has frozen up in illustrator, everything freezes up and I eventually have to power button restart.
