Cannot add custom icon

I downloaded custom icons.
I select Get info on the custom icon. I select it. Select edit copy.
I select the main icon. I select Get Info. I select it. I CANNOT SELECT PASTE BECAUSE IT IS GRAYED OUT.

permissions system in snow leopard has changed and admin users no longer have write permissions to safari (and other preinstalled apps). if you look at the permissions section of the get info popup for safari you'll see that admin group is not listed and instead the group listed is wheel. you can temporarily change the group to admin to apply the icon. but this has to be done from terminal. want to see the details?

Cannot set custom icon

I'm trying to set a custom icon on a FAT32 formatted external HDD. What I did is take a PNG and drop it into Icon Composer, then saved the result as .icns with Icon Composer.
I highlight the resulting .icns file and press CMD+C. I open the Get Info window for my external drive, click the icon in the top right of the window (not the one in the title bar) and press CMD+V. Instead of the icon, I get a generic icns file picture as if it was a Preview document, not the icon itself.
Can't imagine why this isn't working. Worked before with other icons. Help?

Same result oddly enough. The result is the aforementioned "Preview document" icon.
Here was the solution! It required the terminal (or hidden files shown). There's the presence of a .VolumeIcon.icns for the drive icon right? Well I just typed +cp /Users/username/Desktop/i.icns .VolumeIcon.icns+ into the Terminal while the current directory was the drive. It overwrote the bad one with the good one. No idea why it couldn't be done via the Get Info window, but it works now.

Automatically create folders then attach custom icon to each folder.

This is my current working script, does anyone know how I can now add customer icons to the folders in Applescript
Many thanks

The following script uses a handler that will set a custom icon to a file item. In this example, you are prompted for the icon file and the file item to set to the icon, but you can just pass the desired image and folder paths directly to the handler.

TIA (Thx in advance)

I don't know about Logicconizer but here's a thread which has the locations for icons.

How to add custom file icons on SharePoint 2010 document library?

Hi there,
In a document library SharePoint shows the PDF and Word etc icons all fine - however we have a custom file format with a custom icon. Is this possible to add this custom icon for our custom extension? How?
Thank you so much.

Hi,
You could accomplish your requirement by using jQuery with these steps, and this code is using jQuery to modify it on the current page, if you would like to make it work on all library, you need to choose the former method or add this JQuery script on all
library pages manually:
Upload a custom icon to file “14\ Template\Images” or your SharePoint document library.
Add this code below in the document library that you want to extend your custom icon, you could add code by following these: Click edit page in the document library -> add a web part -> choose Content Editor -> click edit source in the Ribbon ->
add the source below -> click OK.
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
var fileObject = $("[title$='docx']");
for(var i=0; i < fileObject.length; i++){
//fileObject[i].outerHTML="<img width=\"16\" height=\"16\" title=\"test.docx\" alt=\"test.docx\" src=\"/_layouts/15/images/custom.png\" border=\"0\">"; // upload your custom icon to file ” 14\ Template\Images”, replace your src URL
fileObject[i].outerHTML="<img width=\"16\" height=\"16\" title=\"test.docx\" alt=\"test.docx\" src=\"/sites/sharepoint2013/Shared%20Documents/custom.png\" border=\"0\">"; // upload your custom icon to SharePoint document library, replace your src URL
</script>
The screenshot below is my result:

I cannot add tabs or new icons. Therefore I cannot open any email accounts easily in Firefox. Help!

In earlier versions of firefox, I used the google toolbar, which is now banned. No subsitute tabs or icons for frequently visited sites is offered by Firefox 6. Indeed, no library of icons even seems to be available. There is a page on how to add icons that offers zero icons and does not appear to function at all except as a useless irritant. I cannot now get to my gmail. Nor can I do a google search because Firefox 6 keeps erasing the google search bar. This is the worst Firefox ever. Can anyone help me with adding icons and getting to my email without going through a drop down menu?

Cannot add apps to my C150 keep getting error message "Connection Problem"

I cannot add apps to my C150 keep getting error message "Connection Problem. There was a problem connecting to the Internet. Please try again." I keep trying but keep getting the same message. Web Services is enabled and I can browse the Internet using the Internet icon, any suggestions?

Hi cdc58,
I assume you mean C510 not C150. For those who are experiencing ongoing issues with their web services, you can attempt to try the following steps that may help resolve your problems.
1.) Completely shut down your printer and restart it
2.) If you have prints that have not printed, log into ePrint Center (or create an account if you do not have one) and then look for your printer status. If printer status is green but you still have pending jobs, delete the pending jobs one at a time (Starting with the oldest first). There may be a print job stuck in the queue that further restricts other jobs from completing.
a. If option 1 or 2 above still doesn’t work, removing web services and re-adding web services will cause the printer to reattach to the cloud.
b. Please note that if you attempt option 3, you will get a new eprint email address (and lose your custom one with no ability to get it back) furthermore, you will need to re-add your printer back to your ePC account.

CheckBox - how to set custom icons

I need to figure out how to set a custom icon for a selected checkbox via the UIManager
This works for un-selected checkboxes:
UIManager.put("CheckBox.icon", new ImageIcon("../images/unselectedCheckBoxIcon.png")));
how to change the icon when it is selected?
I don't know the UIManager property for a selected checkbox icon and using the setSelectedIcon on the checkbox object it self does not seem to work:
checkbox.setSelectedIcon(new ImageIcon("../images/selectedCheckBoxIcon.png"));
Thanks for any ideas how to solve this!!

Hi mKorbel, many thanks for your suggestion!
For anyone interestsed,
here is a small example of how I made it working.
Unfortunately I cannot attatch the icon images that I use, but the selected icon can be downloaded from here, resize it to 32*32, remove the cross in the middle to save it as the unselected icon.

Printer communication error and cannot add a new printer

I was happily using my Epson Artisan 810 printer this morning, connected wirelessly to my iMac. All of a sudden I cannot print, get "Communication Error". Checked Epson's website, no luck there. Re-checked my wireless settings on the printer itself and re-confirmed them, it will print test pages from the printer, but still not communicating with the iMac. I thought that removing the printer and then adding it back in might help, but now I cannot add any printer at all.
I resorted to my MacBook Pro, and now have the same problem with this as well.
Any ideas please? What else can I check. My internet and so on are fine. The printer itself shows the wireless icon and says the reception is excellent on the printout it produced.
Thanks so much!
L.

It would be unusual for only Bonjour to stop working in the printer. The more likely is that the printer is set to a different network subnet to that for your Mac or, as you mentioned, something like a firewall is blocking it.
The IP addressing is the most common cause. If there is a process to view or print the network settings for the Epson, then this will show what IP address range it has, which should be the same as your Mac. With the IP address, there will be four sets of numbers. For a typical home network, the first three sets are known as the IP subnet, while the last set is the network address. For example, a device with an IP address of 10.0.1.5, has an IP subnet of 10.0.1 and a network address of 5. For your Mac to 'see' the printer, both devices would need the same IP subnet, while having a different network address. So if you can check what IP address the Epson has, you may find it is using a different IP subnet to your Mac.

Cannot add networked Brother MFC-7820N after upgrading to Leopard

Hi,
I did a clean install of Leopard on a new drive I installed on my Macbook. Then I migrated my account from an old drive which was running the latest version of Tiger.
Leopard is running fine, except that I cannot add my networked printer (Brother MFC-7820N). According to Brother, the printer drivers come with the Leopard CD. In the /Library/Printers/Brother directory there sub-directories for Brother LUT, Filter, Icons, Profiles, Utilities. So I think the drivers are present.
In the Print & Fax system preference, I click to add a printer and nothing shows up under "Default". According to Brother's instructions, the printer should show up. Is the MFC-7820N Bonjour capable?
Is there something else I need to do? I am not running control center like I did under Tiger.
Any help would be appreciated.
Network is a wireless network with the printer attached to a netgear wireless router.

Okay, I found the answer to the problem. It is a Brother configuration, not a Leopard one. Needed to setup Bonjour on the printer by configuring the mDNS properly.
From a browser, go to your printer using the ip address. Click on Network configuration link. Default user/password is: admin/access. Find the "mDNS" link, click on it. Then configure with a name such as BrotherMFC and select enable. Once this is setup, then clicking on "+" in the print and fax system preference works.

2 problems: 1st unopened messages, 2nd cannot add personal email in setup wizard

Hi guys, I'm having a problem with my device. It seems like I cannot add a personal email adress in my email setup (from the setup wizard) When I enter this setup wizard > email setup the following appears: email setup select an email setup option [ ] I want to use a work email account with a Blackberry Enterprise Server AND THATS THE ONLY OPTION I CAN PICK! (a friend of mine with the same device could add a personal email) from there I can only choose { close } or { next } what is happening, can someone explain what I can do to add my personal adress? ------------------ Another thing I find quite strange is the fact that on my desktop the icon "unopened message count" appears. When I open the BB-menu, there should be a little star in the message-icon right? Well it isn't there! (the litte white-on-red star) So this icon tells me that I have unopened messages, but I can't find them anywhere.. guys please help!!!

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
Your first problem is carrier related -- you must have the proper data plan from your carrier (at whatever costs they charge) to enable enhanced BB functions like email. A generic data plan is not usually sufficient -- some call the required plan The BlackBerry Data Plan. But call your carrier and ask them what you need from them in order to have access to their BlackBerry Internet Services (which include personal email).
Your second problem I am not understanding. What "BB-menu" are you accessing? Where exactly is the star you are seeing? Where exactly is the star you are expecting to see? More and clearer details, please.
Good luck and let us know!
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!

Add change Icon in the Table Control tool bar.

Hi Abapers,
I need to add "change" icon in the table control. I added it but when I click on it is not working.
My requirement is that when I run my custom report, all the fields should be shown is in display mode. Then when I click on the "change" icon, all fields should be enabled for change.
I have already referred to the standard progs BCALV_* but it does not have the "change" icon.
plz give me any reference prg or sample code.
Thanks
Nani.

Hi Nani,
Track the function code of change icon in user command. if it is clicked then put a flag eq X.
check that flag in PBO, if it is eq X then screen-input = 1 or vice versa.
try this code:
in PBO:
LOOP AT SCREEN
IF WS_EDIT = 'X'
SCREEN-INPUT = 1
ELSE
SCREEN-INPUT = 0
ENDIF
MODIFY SCREEN
ENDLOOP
Hope it will work fine

Trying to add PDF icons to my Assignment Block (CRM 7 WebUI)

Hello gurus,
I am trying to display a pdf icon in every row of my assignment block in CRM 7 WebUI. I am using one click actions, so I have an actions column, and I the logic to make the icon image appear is in the GET_OCA_T_TABLE of the context node class. When I create actions like delete and edit, it is very easy to get the icons, for example, the following code works perfectly and the icons are displayed in the assignment block:
   ls_one_click_action-id      = 'DELETE'.
    ls_one_click_action-icon    = 'delete.gif'.
    ls_one_click_action-text    = ''.
ls_one_click_action-id      = 'EDIT'.
    ls_one_click_action-icon    = 'edit.gif'.
    ls_one_click_action-text    = ''.
But, I cannot add a pdf icon.... I have tried the paths to PDF icons in the MIME repository, and I have tried getting the PDF icons like this cl_thtmlb_util=>GC_ICON_FILE_PDF or with cl_thtmlb_util=>get_icon_url(pdf)... nothing displays anything but a broken image.
Please help me! <text removed>

Thanks!!!
You mean, in the .htm file?? Well that would not work, at least not in my case, because there is almost nothing in the .htm.. Anyways, thanks a lot. I did not find it your way.... In the debugger, I found the path through the MIME repository to the default MIME types for THMLB.
Now I have to open a PDF file in IXOS in a new window in the WEBUI....... how can I call a PDF in IXOS based on my an object ID??
Thank you!!

Custom Icon Frustration

I built an AS3 component and designed a custom icon.
Right-clicked symbol in library, selected component definition and
clicked on the icon button (under description) to set an icon.
When I select custom... my finder pops up and I can navigate
to any folder on my machine but I can't select an icon, all .pngs
(and all other files) are greyed out.
Possibly related, if I select one of the normal icons (button
or something) it sets the icon correctly but I then can't set the
icon back to the default icon and I still can't set a custom icon.
I originally created the icons in photoshop, but I've also
tried exporting them from Fireworks -- no luck. I also tried
finding the default icons in my installation and editing them but
sadly this didn't work either (maybe I looked in the wrong place).
I'm using CS3 on Mac -- please tell me this isn't a bug, I
really don't want to have to buy a windows copy of Flash just to
add an icon to a component.

It is a bug. Nivesh at Adobe support was kind enough to email
me the solution: you need to enable Version Cue for file operations
(Preferences / General category / Enable Version Cue).

Cannot add apps to iTunes Wish List for my ipod

When using iTunes on my Macbook, I cannot add apps (for ipod, ipad, etc. NOT for computer) to my Wish List. When I try, a pop up error alert box says that "Your request is temporarily unable to be processed., to try again later." The odd thing is that I can add music albums to my Wish List. I am not trying to add previously bought apps, but new ones that I find that I might want later. I used to be able to do this, but not as of recently. I even updated my Itunes to see if that would help. No effect. Is it my wifi network,? Any ideas of how to remedy this?

thanks. I opened iTunes this morning and miraculously my wish list seems to be working. i see one app i had added to be downloaded. I am able to remove songs from wish list and add songs and preview all.
last i heard from the customer service person was that they referred the issue to a senior level support person. this after i sent them several screen shots of my wish list and the error about unable to add to existing wish list because ittem was already there.
I have not heard from them that my issue is resolved. I will give them a day or so to get back to me to confirm they fixed the problelm.
very strange. at least they acknowledged the problem did indeed exist as they referred me to the online user forum for possible solutions. I indicated the problem persisted as early as June 2010 and as late as Jan 2012. and I had upgraded to ver 10.5.3 as well as remove and re-install even AFTER they kept telling me they removed my wishlist.
