Change Windows Bootcamp icon in Finder

Hi all!
I knew the procedure under Tiger..
cd /Volumes
ls -la
than cp ._pendrive ._WindowsXp (for example)
and all the rest...my problem is in Leopard...i can't see anything called ._something in /Volumes..
I was doin' this in TIger and it works, something is changed I suppose..

I am experiencing the exact same behavior.  I have patched bootcamp to 3.2 and that does not help.  Per other threads on the interwebs, I see there are workarounds:
1) Holding option key down when starting system allows you to select boot partition.
2) Bootcamp control panel widget allows you to select boot disk; much like you see in Mac OSX.

  • Changing Windows drive icon in boot loader

    Hi. I found this guide on how to change the windows drive icon in boot loader. I followed the steps but when i want to copy the ._ICON file, there is no such file on the list and Terminal won't let me copy it.
    When i go to the /Volumes/ directry and type "ls -la" i get the list:
    drwxrwxrwt@ 5 root admin 170 Jan 31 17:40 .
    drwxrwxr-t@ 37 root admin 1326 Jan 31 16:43 ..
    drwxrwxrwx@ 1 differenxe staff 16384 Jan 31 17:23 ICON (this is the USB drive with changed icon)
    drwxr-xr-x 1 differenxe staff 4096 Jan 31 2009 Untitled (this is the Windows drive)
    lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 1 Jan 31 2009 Mac -> /
    Apparently there is no ._ICON file. What should i do?

  • Change Hard Drive Icon for Bootcamp Partition

    I'd like to change the desktop icon (on the Leopard side) for the Vista Bootcamp partition, however, the normal strategies don't work (presumably due to the read only properties of NTFS). Is that icon stuck as the generic one until I make NTFS writable?

    Well, NTFS is not writable by OS X, but you can change the name and possibly the icon when booted into Windows.
    Although you can read/write NTFS in OS X by installing MacFuse and the NTFS-3G_2009.2.1u1-ublio-catacombae filesystem, I don't know if it enables changing the Desktop icon. You will find both items at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • Folder icons on Finder windows

    I tried to change a folder icon by pasting an icon from a file over the folder icon in the folder's information window and something strange happened. The file icon (it was from an application file) now appears to the right gear (action?) pulldown on the top of the folder window for every folder I open from my account. When this icon is double clicked, the folder whose icon I was originally trying to change opens in the finder window which was double clicked. Did I damage something? How can I get rid of this behavior?
    I tried going back to the original folder and deleting the changed icon from its information window, which restored the generic folder icon. Now, instead of the new icon, the generic folder icon appears to the right of the gear pulldown on the top of every finder window. When this generic folder icon is double clicked the folder I was trying to change still opens in the finder window.
    Thanks for any help.

    The action (gear) toolbar button can be placed anywhere on the toolbar, so something 'to the right' can be confusing (I don't even use the gear button) - but if I understand you correctly, the folder (whatever it's icon is) is now on the Finder's toolbar. You can add files, folders, and scripts to the Finder's toolbar just like any of the other buttons, although I'm not sure how you accidentally did that (it has nothing to do with icons or the 'Get Info') - go to the View > Customize Toolbar… menu, drag the folder off of the toolbar, and poof!, it's gone from the toolbar (just like the dock).

  • Windows 8.1, BootCamp does not find the ISO image.

    When I try to install Windows 8.1, BootCamp does not find the ISO image.
    I purchased Windows 8.1 Pro, I downloaded the .exe requested file from a Windows computer, performed the steps recommended by Microsoft in order to create the ISO file saving it on a flash drive as well and, as a precaution, on a DVD too.
    I performed the "Download the latest Windows Support Software from Apple" step directly into another flash drive and having it completed BootCamp displays the following message:
    "The installer disc could not be found  –  Insert the Windows installer disc and wait a few seconds for the disc to be recognized. "
    So happens that I have tried this using the DVD, pendrive and also copying the ISO file to the desktop and to the "Documents" folder as recommended in certain websites, but none of this has made the process go ahead. What can I do?
    My equipment is a mid 2011 iMac running Mac OSX 10.10.1.

    Dear Loner T,
    thanks to my coworker, the solution was unpacking from that ISO file which I had recorded (according to the steps indicated by Microsoft), but now using Nero software (Windows) and then recording by the most common way in a new DVD. See the screen of the first DVD before unpacking:
    This true saga only demonstrated that the generated ISO file as an option at the time of the Windows installation, is not for direct installation through BootCamp, and as a I could check, even for direct installation on a Windows PC. See the last DVD burned using Nero and  again recorded:
    The execution of BootCamp, was perfect
    Thank you for attention to my problem!

  • I Installed windows 7 on my macbook pro 13 inch Late 2011 with bootcamp, i have no wireless icon or bootcamp icon, i checked my flash drive and it is blank!! what do i do?

    i Installed windows 7 on my macbook pro 13 inch Late 2011 with bootcamp, i have no wireless icon or bootcamp icon, i checked my flash drive and it is blank!! what do i do?

    Download and intall the Windows Support software. You can start Bootcamp Assistant again and only select the option to download the support software. Then follow the instructions to save and install the support software.
    Or, manually download the support software here http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/downloads/.

  • Document icon in Finder window differs from Get Info icon

    I've been noticing unexpected document icons in Finder windows for quite some time.
    This is especially true for PDF files. Since the early days of Mac OS X, I've configured my Macs to open PDF files in Adobe Reader, and I'm accustomed to seeing an Adobe PDF document icon on each PDF file. For some time, I've been seeing different PDF icons, e.g., a document with fuzzy text lines and a black ring binding on the left edge.
    I thought this might be a custom icon. But when I do a Get Info on the PDF file, the conventional Adobe PDF icon appears in the Get Info window.
    Is this different between the Finder icon and the Get Info icon a bug or a feature?
    -- Ward

    It's a feature. Any window that has the View Options set to "Show Icon Preview" will do that. It actually is rather handy in a folder that is set to icon view, with nice BIG icons, you can often see the first page (which is what is displayed) clearly enough to recognize exactly what the file is. In List view it isn't at all helpful, nor is it helpful in those cases where you have icon view set, but the icons are quite small (as is the case on my Desktop, and, I suspect, on most people's Desktops). A pdf that has multiple pages will additionally show the "binder" along the left edge. The Finder is drawing these custom icons on the fly from the contents of the file. The only way to defeat it is to turn of the Show Icon Preview for the folder(s) where you don't want an essentially useless and often counter-productive icon. Do that from the Finder's View menu item, Show View Options. Oh, and every folder has different options for each view. So you can turn it off for List view, but have it turned on for icon view, where it might actually be useful.

  • Inconsistent and incorrect file icons in finder window list view

    I have been seeing incorrect file icons in finder windows noteably for PDF files the last couple of weeks on my office MacMini running 10.5.8. Some just look messed up. Some switched and looked like Evernote files, but they open correctly in the default application - Preview.
    Get info would show the same incorrect icon, but correctly show Preview as the default application.
    Just now I tried clicking on CoverFlow view and when I went back to List view, the icons looked correct again.
    What type of system maintenance if any is needed to correct this issue? Note, these files continue to display correctly on my home iMac where these files are synced.
    AndrewML

    Thanks for the reply Baltwo.
    I followed your directions. After the restart the PDF icons were all displayed correctly.
    However, some .doc file icons were blank. Selected one, got info, set it to open with MSWord and then clicked "apply to all." Most, but not all now display the Word logo. Some remain blank, although get info reveals they are set to open with Word. Will another restart fix this or is there another suggestion?
    I will be away from this computer till Monday.

  • Find/Change window freezes - Appleworks 6.2.9

    When I use the Appleworks Find/Change window for the first time after booting up my new iMac, the Find/Change window freezes up and then disappears and then the opened document on my desktop disappears from my desktop, too. I have Appleworks 6.2.9 and a new iMac purchased a few months ago. Why does the Find/Change window freeze up and do that? How do I fix this? Thanks for any help!

    The most likely cause is corrupt preferences & is easily fixed by deleting the AppleWorks preferences.

  • The window that opens when I click on the Time Machine icon is Finder (devices) and when I close this Time Machine also closes.

    The window that opens when I click on the Time Machine icon is Finder (devices) and when I close this Time Machine also closes.

    You will need to be much more specific about what you problem is. That is how TM works. That is how you find things to restore from TM, by using a Finder window so that you can browse through the Mac's hierarchy of folders and files.
    Why are you double posting this?

  • Find Change window too large and I cannot make it smaller

    In Indesign CC the find/change window is continually resizing. This happens when I place a larger block of text into the find or replace field. After a few such changes I end up with a window as wide as my screen. I am able to get rid of it by restarting Indesign and resetting the preferences at restart. This is not a solution. How can this window be reduced in size or better yet set to remain at a fixed size.
    I am operating on a Mac with system: 10.10.2
    Thanks

  • Want to change Form MDI Window default icon as well as default window icon

    Hi,
    I am using oracle forms 10g. I need to change the mdi window default icon as well as default window icon of inner form. But i do not know the way. Pls help me.

    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/webutil/webutil.htm
    webutil lets you access the client machine from webforms. you'll need to install it on the application server and include the webutil library and object group in the form which will change the MDI window's icon (probably the first form in the application).

    Hi: You should be able to use most of the W7 x64 drivers and software from the HP 255 G2 on your model except the BIOS and firmware files. http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=6431940&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4063 Your notebook has the Realtek RTL8188EE 802.11bg/n 1x1 WiFi adapter, so that is the wireless driver you need. Additionally, you need these usb3 drivers.  Install both and reboot. http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=ob_125616_1 http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=ob_123787_1
