Change Mac AFP Icon

Hello!
I share with my old PPC macs quite often (using an intel one), and I want to change the AFP device icon to the specific icon.
It usually just shows a cinema display, whereas for my iMac G4, I want it to show an iMac G4.
I have all the icons, I just have no idea how to change them.
I use my intel MacBook Pro OS X 10.8 to share with iMac G4 OS X 10.3 and iMac G3 OS X 10.3.
Thanks!

It used to be much more possible with Mac OS 9 and earlier.   But Apple has locked down most of the icon changing, or made it change every operating system release.  You might find something under http://www.haxies.com/ that works or contact the author there, as they specialized in those tools.

    They're in .png extention, you can convert them into .icn by a simple app like Img2icn or even use the online converter. Barney-15E answered the rest.

  • Is there a way to change the default icon for a sound file in KN2

    i have need to include dozens of sound files on each slide that will trigger as text builds. i can handle all the transitions fine but i cannot figure out how to change the standard icon for the sound file.
    i would prefer to have the text be the icon, if that is not possible to have a smaller icon for the file. as i build the page i am ending up with a huge mess, icons covering text, also there is not a intuitive way to tell which sound file is which with out click/playing each file.

    Did you try:
    OracleBI/web/app/res/s_.../popbin/
    EX:
    line.pcxml Look for <SeriesDefinition ...
    we modified the line width and a few other things. You'll have to modify all the pcxml files for all the chart types you want to customize.

  • Using Custom Icons - Changing the Finder Icon

    So I know you can just do a simple copy and paste under "get info" in order to change icons for applications and folders, but how do you do this for Finder? I know this is possible, if not for the simplest reason that one of the downloads that Apple has featured on this site for icons has a Finder icon (bad logic I know, but it seems odd that Finder would be the only icon you couldn't change). The problem is, how do you "Get Info" on Finder? Where would you find finder (no pun intended)?
    Thanks in Advance

    Thanks for the help in finding the icon, the only problem is that it won't let me alter it. I even changed permissions on the bottom of the "get info" screen to allow the current user (also the administrator) to both read and write, but it wouldn't let me paste a different styled icon over it. Any suggestions on how to change the Finder icon to a custom one? And ya we were thinking about how we would change it back too, but realized its not really that big of an issue because all our friends and even we have multiple macs, so we could always just copy it back that way.

  • Changing the Trash icon

    I've been able to change any other icons that I feel like on my Mac, but the Trash icon is proving a little resistant to change. I'd like to replace both the empty and full wire basket icons with others of my choosing, but I've been unable to do so, or to locate a topic on these forums that deals with this.

    FIRST BACK UP THE ORIGINAL FILES!!! THAT IS CRUCIAL, IN CASE SOMETHING GOES WRONG!
    Assuming you convert them to .png files, and rename the one to "trashempty.png" and the other to "trashfull.png", the command would be this:
    sudo cp /Users/Gareth/Icons/trashempty.png /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/Resources/;sudo cp /Users/Gareth/Icons/trashfull.png /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/Resources/;ls -le@O /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/Resources/trash*.png
    Post the results of that here, and then restart.
    Use V.K.'s advice. It's easier, more straightforward, and has less risks. I should have recommended something like that right away.
    Good luck!

  • HT201067 how do i change my mail icon on OS X Yosemite 10.10.1

    how do i change my mail icon on OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 I am using a Mac Book Air with trackpad-no mouse
    I want a different icon for mail-too blue and too similar to safari icon.

    Hello-thank you.
    When I have both Safari and Mail open-the icons are even smaller on the dock - The colors on my dock stand out more than the shape for ease of finding the right icon-I am almost 70 - so colors are more helpful than shape at a quick glance.

  • Some mac app icons disappears and mac App Store didn't open

    some mac app icons disappears and mac appstore cant open

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

  • Installing MS Office has changed default itunes icons how do I fix

    The installation of MS Office has changed the default icons iTunes uses.
    Does anyone know how to fix this.

    Do they still open with iTunes?
    If that's not so choose any one of them and "Get Info" cmd-i. The in the "Open with" pane choose iTunes, then select "Change all".
    If it's just the icons try rebuiding the LaunchServices data base.
      These are only cache files but can get corrupted. Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line to rebuild LaunchServices: (be sure to copy the entire line it's a scroll)
    Code:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know.
    Or, use the free utiltiy OnyX to do the same via gui

  • Delete .mac network icon

    Can anyone tell me how to delete the .mac network icon from my System Preferences? I threw away the software years ago, and got rid of a lot of other gunk coming from it this week, now I get an annoying message instead of the Screen Savers I want to see. Yes, it's in my Screen Saver list.

    The message is: Please select one or more subscriptions by clicking Configure in the Desktop & Screen Saver preference panel.
    Sounds like that is coming from the screen saver (probably called .Mac) that uses shared pictures in your .Mac online storage. It is not directly related to any "network option."
    If you choose to use a random screen saver, when the .Mac screen saver is selected at random, it wants to know what .Mac account to use for the pictures it displays. You can either not use the random choice, and pick a screen saver that is not the .Mac screen saver. Or you can remove the .Mac screen saver from the list of choices. Since it's just a screen saver module, there should not be any problem with removing it.
    It should be at
    <startup volume>/System/Library/Screen Savers/
    The problem here is that files with names that begin with a period (.) are invisible in Finder, and this module is named .Mac.slideSaver. So it is invisible to Finder.
    You can use Unix command in Terminal to find and move it, or you can download this handy utility called TinkerTool
    http://www.bresink.de/osx/TinkerTool.html
    It has an option to +Show hidden and system files+ on its Finder tab. Select that option, then click the button at the bottom of the TinkerTool window to +Relaunch Finder+.
    Now, if you go to
    <startup volume>/System/Library/Screen Savers/
    and you should see a file called .Mac.slideSaver. Move it to the Desktop or another location. Now, when you use the System Preferences pane for screen savers, the .Mac screen saver should not be on the list. If you ever want it back, you can move that file back.
    Don't forget to change the +Show hidden and system files+ setting in TinkerTool back to OFF.

  • Help with at start up folder that  flashes between ? and Mac OS Icon.

    So I have an eMac that had Mac OS X 10.3.5 on it. About a week ago a software update came over on my Mac for 10.3.9. I tryed to download it and upgrade my OS. Somewhere along the line something crashed and I tryed to revert back to my 10.3.5 after that I turned off my Mac and turned it on again and I got the darwin screen. Now I dont have the original OS disk that came with this Mac, I got it off a friend of the family. I did have a Power Mac G5 OS X 10.4 CD that I was able to get into the CD by holding down C when started up. the Disk First Aid said everything was fine, and I tryed to install that and it told me that I could not install this software on my Mac. So someone I work with told me to erase the drive in the First Aid menu and the computer will reboot the OS. So I Erased the hard drive and went into the menu that lets you choose the start up OS and that did not load. Now when I turned on my eMac it just goes to a screen with a folder that blinks back and forth between a question mark and a Mac OS Icon.
    Another person I work with has a Mac OS X 10.3 CD and said that should get everything up and running again , but he has not found it yet. Last night I tryed my parents iMac OS 10.2 CD and that CD will not load when I hold down C when I start the Mac.
    Any Ideas?
    Thanks

    More accurately, this should read "...that will "only" run on that particular computer model." Those disks are always gray in color.
    Generally, a Mac will not accept/run an OS version lower than the one it shipped with.
    The Hobo is exactly on target when he asked for the specific model. There are two distinct generations of eMacs and that can affect recommendations. We can better help you if we know which one.
    I'm a little confused about the disks. Did any of the disks you're tried or will be borrowing come from an eMac? Did your eMac come with 10.3 pre-installed or did you upgrade from an older version of OSX?
    It's a little late in your case, but I have a way of dealing with Software Updates (SU) that's never (knock wood) killed any of our 13 Macs: When a system update is first offered, I don't let SU install it then. I finish what I was doing, closing all active applications, then use Disk Utility on my hard drive to Repair Permissions (RP) BEFORE I allow SU to install anything. Then I run it again AFTER SU finished. Permission repair is controversial but harmless, but I'm doing something right that has kept me from having update problems, so I keep doing RP before installing any updates that SU pushes out.

  • Downloading iTunes changes all my icons to iTunes

    When I download iTunes onto my computer (Windows 7) it changes all the icons on my desktop to iTunes and iTunes will not open at all. Help please!

    Hiya Katrina! I might have accidentally made some progress on this one yesterday.
    Every time I've seen it reported and I've tried to do some work on it, it has only affected one user account on the PC.
    So ... it might be related to a damaged icon cache for the affected user account. (There's one of those for each different user account on the PC. This is what I accidentally learned yesterday while trying to research a fix for a slightly different problem.)
    If that's what is going on, rebuilding the icon cache might get folks past it:
    http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/how-to-rebuild-the-icon-cache-in-windows-vista /
    ... Trouble is that that's all educated(?) guesswork/speculation, and the procedure looks a bit hairy. It's the sort of thing where I'd definitely be setting a System Restore Point for the system prior to giving it a go.

  • How do I change the weather icon to my local weather?

    I am new to iPhone and have 2 questions:
    1. How do I change the wether icon from Cupertino and New York to local weather?
    2. How do I remove icons from the home page that came already installed? I tried pressing and holding until they vibrate but no 'X" appears to delete them.
    Thanks!

    1. How do I change the wether icon from Cupertino and New York to local weather?
    Select the i circle icon at the bottom right.
    Select the + icon at the top right to add a city. Select the red - icon next to a city on the list to remove a city.
    Select the icon at the far right of each city to move that city up of down on the list.
    Select Done at the top right when finished.
    2. How do I remove icons from the home page that came already installed? I tried pressing and holding until they vibrate but no 'X" appears to delete them.
    The default icons cannot be removed. The default icons will not have an X to remove them. Only user created web clippings will have the X and can be removed.

    How do I change the "Trash" icon to "Archive" icon as the default setting in email using iPhone iOS7?

    That is very much dependent on your Email account. 
    Go to Settings->Mail,Contacts,Calendars->Accounts->Your Account->Account->Advanced->Move Discarded Messages Into.
    Choose Archive Mailbox.
    It may not be there if its not supported by your email provider.
