Finder Icon issues.....

So I have a macbook pro from 2010 running OS X Mountain Lion.  I am trying for the second time (previously in Snow Lepard) to change icons to ones i want.  But I am finding it difficult to get the Finder icon to actually change to what I want. 
I replaced the .icns file in the CoreTypes.bundle contents and also in the Dock contents.  Have restarted several times.  No luck....Any advice?  I am downloading CandyBar as I post this, but given my universities internet, I'll be lucky to use CandyBar by tomorrow morning....

Apple allows the changing of icons on the system.  I know because I've done it and I've seen it done.  I don't owe him an apology.  There is no hacking involved when I have direct access to the files.  If I can change a file on my computer and it asks for the Admin password, being that my account is the admin account, I'm 99.999% sure I'm allowed to do it.  You too sir can take your opinions elsewhere

  • Finder Icon Issues With Word '08 docx Files

    Hi all,
    I just picked up and installed a copy of Office 2008 on my brand new MacBook, and I'm already seeing an odd, annoying issue. When I save a docx file in Word '08 that's more than one page long, the preview icon for it comes up weird in Finder: it looks sideways, squat and long like a landscape view, whereas every other kind of file I save (including docx files less than a page long) have normal portrait view preview icons. If I save a file at one page long (which looks normal in Finder) then it goes longer than a page, it immediately converts the Finder icon to landscape view when I save. Even when I go into Word's save preferences and turn off the option to save a picture of the document, it STILL does it.
    Any ideas for fixing this, my intrepid friends?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I've also been having this problem. I'm not entirely sure, but I think it's got something to do with the page setup/printing defaults. I've spent hours and hours messing and fiddling with settings (I was bored) but I can't figure out a way to fix/get round this.
    I know it seems trivial, but it's SOOOOO irritating! Somebody please help!

  • Two finder icons in my dock and other issues

    For some reason, in my dock, two finder icons are appearing. The default finder icon, which is not running and has no white indicator under it, and a default application style icon that launches right after login with the label "Finder" which is basically the finder but launches like a third party application?! When I quit the running finder icon, the finder restarts, so this second icon really is running as the finder!
    Also: When i click on the trash it no longer opens, when I try to empty the trash from the dock nothing happens, and (this is the best part) when I click and hold on a stack, and select "Show in finder", Entourage launches and tries to compress that folder in an email message. Super bizarre! Like really bizarre.
    Please any help would be great before I do something drastic like archive and install.
    I have a screenshot of this but can't seem to post it here.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, burbaget.
    Create a new account, name it "test" and see how your apps work in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
    Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
    If the problem is present in the test account also, then it is systemwide. In this case try repairing this with the 10.5.5 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
    Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
    If the problem does not appear in the test account try starting in "Safe Mode" (It will take a bit more time to startup because it runs a directory check first).
    If that works go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items and remove them. Boot normally and test. If there are still problems, go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving /Users/Home)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
    Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
    Let us know.

I've tried force quitting, and it doesn't get rid of this message. When I login to my husband's account, this message does not appear.

    Hey sunnyday7!
    Here is an article that can help you address this issue:
    OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3411
    Additional Information
    OS X automatically relaunches the Finder when it is quit. If the Finder is unresponsive, use Force Quit to relaunch it. Select Finder in the Force Quit Window or Dock, then click Relaunch.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • Can anyone ID this problem? Finder icon started bouncing, unresponsive, now Safe Mode reboot stops 1/3 in and shuts down iMac. Virus?

    This started yesterday. I switch on the computer, go into my User account and the Finder icon was bouncing in the deck while a window flashed on about Restoring Windows though you could never click on it because...it kept flashing. The folders on my desktop disappeared so I went into a secondary user account and opened it to find a virus scan. That user account had no issue with the bouncing Finder icon. I downloaded ClamXav and ran it but that being a rarely used user account, it found nothing infected. I went back in in Safe Mode and was able to see my invisible files but the Finder being unresponsive, I could basically only look at them. Also, I couldn't activate ClamXav after downloading it in that user account. All it did was allow me to see my files.
    This morning, while I switched on the computer the Safe Mode came on without me holding down the Shift key. Sadly, it didn't get past the third of the little progress bar before shutting down the computer. This happened trying to open either user accounts. I'm shut out. I'm so shocked this happened. I called the ISP and he said everything was normal at his end, naturally in spite of a lot of freezing and not allowing more than one device on wifi at a time. This is an upgraded Internet service after moving to a new place. Otherwise for the few moments it lights up to show me the two users at log in, nothing is visually wrong.
    If this has ever happened to anyone, please enlighten me. I've called a Mac repair shop and expect to bring my iMac in. It's barely two years old. : (

  • Unable to boot - flashing finder icon with question mark.

    Hi all,
    I just got a friends old xserv G5 to learn Mac and the server suite on. He gave me the OSX Server install disk (10.5 I believe) with the license keys.
    I get the XServe into "Target Disk Mode" by turning it on holding T and plugging my friends Intel Pro MacBook into it VIA FireWire. We install the Server 10.5 to the Server Disk fine, no issues. All options checked. Then upon reboot we shutdown everything and try to boot the server up on it's own and then this is where we get the flashing finder icon problem...
    Here's what we've tried:
    I think the Firmware is locked because when I try to power on holding power + system identifier button, both rows flash instead of the one, here's what I've done
    Tried removing a memory module, booting with command, alt, p + r, no effect.
    Clear NVRM by pressing button behind PSU on mainboard of xserve. No effect.
    Unplugging and removing battery for minute, to clear. No effect.
    I guess what I'm trying to do is clear the firmware lock so I can direct the xserve to select the startup disk by pressing F1 / D as I'm assuming that's what the issue is?
    Any thoughts?

    I'm not sure about the dl-DVD thing. I'm trying to remember how I installed 10.5 on my G5 boxes (it's been a while) and I know I used the Administrator computer as described in the Getting Started guide, but I don't remember if I imaged the DVD to a firewire drive.
    The easiest short-cut for that is to image the DVD onto a firewire drive and attach that to the Xserve and run it as the install media. It's much faster to install this way as well. Use Disk Utility to image the DVD onto an external firewire and then boot holding down the option key - choose the drive and then use the notebook as an "Administrator computer" as described in the guide. The only hold-ups are the IP space issues and make sure you know the Xserve serial number. In theory I think you can also use another computer with the DVD in the drive running in firewire mode but now you're up to three computers instead of 2 plus a firewire drive.
    I've never been a fan of the notebook>>Xserve install process even before architecture issues arose. The Xserve has special hardware monitoring capabilities that you would lose when installing booted from a non-Xserve box. I know 10.5 was supposed to install a "global" image that would run on both platforms but I wouldn't trust it even if they said you could.

  • Clicking Finder Icon in Dock Doesn't Open New Finder Window

    On my MBP with Lion, the left clicking the finder icon does nothing.  It doesn't even change the menu bar focus to finder.    I can right click and then open a new window.    This works like I am accustomed to on my MBP with Lion. 
    Any ideas to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Geraldo.

    Open Terminal, type
    killall Dock
    and press 'return' on the keyboard.
    That will solve the issue temporarily. But to fix it permanently you need to go find the 3rd party software that is causing the conflict, probably in your Login Items if a restart didn't fix it. Look here:
     > System Preferences... > Users & Groups | Login Items
    Likely suspects are things like
    Total Spaces
    Path Finder
    BetterTouchTool
    BetterFinder
    but the list of possibilities is endless. Easiset thing to do is just remove EVERYTHING from your login items.

  • I was trying to open finder with the pinwheel spinning when I accidently hit the off button. When restarting a small image of the finder icon blinked on

    I was trying to open finder while the pinwheel was spinning & I accidentally hit the off button.  When I tried to restart I get a gray screen & after about a minute in the middle of the screen appears a half inch by half inch image of the finder icon that blinks on & off with a question mark. Thats all it does, no other functions work just the icon blinking on & off with the question mark.  Please help, I really hope I didn't destroy my mac.

    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    The main difference if you are using Lion or Mountain Lion is that you must first boot from the Recovery HD. Simply boot from the Recovery HD to perform the above.

Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • 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.

  • Finder icon weirdness

    Has anyone else experienced these two Finder desktop icon issues:
    1) Icons not showing up, replaced by a square dotted outlines, until you do something with them (drag them, or Get Info on them) (most commonly on login)
    2) Disk icons showing incorrectly, such as USB drives showing up as generic hard-drive icons
    There's also the occasional new file doesn't show up bug, but I think that's old. It's possible the above two are old too, but I didn't start noticing them until Lion. Between these and random icon-rearranging, folder window resizing, view options changing... I feel like I'm doing constant battle with the Finder (reminds me of that scene from Airplane! where the plane is punching Striker).

    Example of icon weirdness, bottom two should be Firewire:
    Move the lower icon a little and it updates:
    Another example one icon is missing:
    Move the lower icon a little and the icon appears:
    Doesn't do it every time, it's intermittent.

  • Finder Icon--a trivial question..

    Hi All,
    It may be a trivial question and more to do with cosmetic then serious software or hardware issues. Anyway, last time I attended a conference, I happen to see a guy whose finder icon in the dock was with a brown color hat. I was in a hurry so I could not ask him. I tried looking online but could not find it. Does anyone of you know where to find such an icon? Is that a different program or something? I always get my icons from: http://interfacelift.com. And I could not find it there. Your help will be appreciated!
    MacBook 1.83 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    There used to an app called "Sherlock" for OSX that had a brown hat icon.
    Could be that?

  • Tiger relaunches Finder whenever Finder icon is clicked in the Dock

    My wife's MacBook, a 13" late '06 running Tiger, began having a problem with Finder this evening. Whenever the Finder icon in the Dock is clicked, all Finder windows close, the desktop flashes black, and Finder relaunches.
    If a folder alias is clicked from the Desktop, it opens without a problem-- it's only the Finder Dock icon. All other programs open normally.

    When using the Finder's own Preference setting dialog box, what does it
    show the "New Finder window opens" as being set to open? If it was
    set at some point, and "Other" was used to choose something beyond
    the default expectations, the Finder icon in Dock could launch or re-
    launch something else with results unexpectedly quite different.
    The usual default is something like "Home" (a user folder) or maybe the
    "Computer" which may contain a window with the Hard Disk drive and
    a Network orb; or the "Macintosh HD" (so - IF - the HDD icon is made to
    be invisible to the Desktop, the Finder can be used to access it instead.)
    So, for some reason or through some accident, glitch, or evidence of
    some corruption elsewhere in the system, you have Finder in Dock
    re-launching the Dock...(?)
    If there is a different purpose chosen in the Finder's menu bar where
    the preferences can be changed in a "General" control box, you can
    see if you can re-assign the defaults as mentioned above, again.
    If other user accounts don't act up, (and they should not, since it
    is not a universal change if these are set different in one account)
    when they are booted into, and the Finder icon in the Dock is clicked
    and you can't get that to revert to the default option(s) that should be
    in the Finder Preference selection; then the issue may be in Dock
    preference files themselves. Those would be (probably) in the user
    Library file and among .plist named items.
    Since I am not sure of the location of those specific items without an
    extensive folder-opening search in my OSX system to find which of
    the few relevant locations this applicable .plist is actually to be found,
    the two probable items to find and move to desktop, then restart, may
    be the Dock preference .plist and the Finder preference .plist items.
    A restart should bring those two items back as default-set replacement
    .plists, so, if you were unable to simply re-set the Finder preference
    panel to choose Home, Macintosh HD, or maybe Computer in there,
    you may have to find these two .plist files, and move them from the
    correct location, where the system should replace them on restart.
    Routine and usual system maintenance and light repairs to disk and
    disk permissions can be done by running Disk Utility from the booted
    Installer disc's menu bar options; short of running the actual Install
    mode, where the menu bar has a drop down menu (such as Finder
    but says Installer) when the computer is running from the OSX install
    disc's version of startup software, where this access is possible. To
    do that, you put the disc#1 of the current OS X version installer in to
    the optical drive and hold the C key down on startup. The first window
    that will appear should be the choose language window, the second
    one should be where you have a menu bar in Installer to find & launch
    Disk Utility from. After running D.U.'s first aid on the Macintosh HD to
    'repair disk', you can run the' repair disk utilities' and maybe click on
    the name of the brand of hard disk drive (same location where name
    Macintosh HD, different item) and then run Verify on the hard drive.
    When done, quit Disk Utility, and choose Startup Manager item from
    the Installer's drop down menu bar option list; and choose the Mac's
    hard drive system and restart the computer. A lighter way to repair the
    disk permissions you probably should've been using regularly, is in
    the Utilities folder in the computer's system on hard disk drive. Simply
    choose GO in the Finder's menu bar, select Utilities Folder, and then
    when that folder opens on the desktop, find & double-click Disk Utility.
    (In my system, I highlighted Disk Utility's name by clicking it once
    so I could change it; in mine, the only change made was to add one
    space in front of the name Disk Utility, and now it is the first item in
    the Utilities folder, so it is easier to find & launch regularly. This re-
    orders the alphabetical order of named items in that folder and puts
    the one with a single space in front of the natural order. If you want
    to bring another item up to appear out of order, you can add one or
    more spaces, to re-order items in a folder to be first ahead of A,B,C.)
    You probably didn't need to know any or all of this; but resetting the
    Finder preference to see if you can get the Dock's Finder icon to
    launch the original few defaults instead of itself; or remove the plists
    for Dock and Finder, and restart to see if the proper settings occur.
    Not sure, but if you remove the Dock .plist, if that would remove the
    chosen symbiotic links (drag-to-dock app icons you moved there)
    or if those would be in another location. Removing the Finder .plist
    from the appropriate file in the system should be safe enough and
    restart. And find out if someone had changed that Finder preference.
    Performing routine and preventative maintenance can be easy; but it
    may not correct some odd changed preference in an obscure location.
    And won't fix some corruption caused by data being overwritten due to
    a hard disk drive being too full for the system to function normally.
    The problem will be resolved when you fix it...!
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Split Finder icon in dock

    When I hover my mouse over the finder icon in the dock it divides into 2 about 1/4 of the way down so that the desktop shows through as a horizontal line (about 0.25cm long) all the way across the icon. It only happens to the Finder icon and only happens when I hover my mouse over it
    All suggestions gratefully received!
    thanks

    Hi Ken
    Three suggestions:
    1. Many times simply restarting your iMac will clear up this type of issue!
    (then test the docks reaction)
    2. If not open the Dock Preferences and adjust the Magnification slider slightly to the left, then also uncheck / recheck Animate. (and again test the docks reaction)
    3. Go to: Applications / Utilities and open Disk Utility, select the Macintosh HD and run Repair Disk Permissions. (then test again)

  • Win 10 - Desktop Icons Issue

    Hi! Today I clean-installed windows 10, but I am facing an issue(?): Basically, I can't move my desktop icons to the last/bottom row, I mean just above the taskbar (possible thing in windows 8/8.1) I am going crazy for this! :\

    What is the problem that you're having?  Desktop Icons Issue isn't really enough information to go on.
    Which T series system do you have, and what operating system are you running?

  • Finder icon stuck in constant motion- says it had a problem restoring window. It's unresponsive. I did download turbo tax yesterday- it all seemed to download fine.

    my mac mini finder icon keeps flashing a sign that said it had a problem restoring a window. It asks me if I want it to restore window, but it is unresponsive. My computer seems to be working fine when I go on to safari, but my desktop itself will not respond to any requests because the finder has taken over.  I did download turbotax application yesterday... it seemed to go just fine. This might be the first time I have restarted my computer since then, though. Could the turbo have created this mess? My mini is10.7.5 intel  2.3 Ghz  so the turbo tax should have been ok.  The only other thing I did wierd was when I started up my computer this morning I sort of started iPhoto at the same time that I started its backup program so the two collided. Could that have caused this finder issue?

    BD,   I am unable to find the files you suggested I move to the desk top.
    When I ran the SAFE BOOT the other day, and also ran repair permissions,  I dont think it stayed in SAFE BOOT. I found no access to utilities when I was in safe boot - either I can't figure it out, or the machine wasn't letting me proceed due to the finder- I don't know which. 
    Today,As I was looking for the files you suggested I move (user/your user.......) to desk top, I did copy a few of the messages the mac was sending through utilities and console. I don't know if anything here helps, but I am copying a few clips below for you;  it may be all Greek to you too, however. Thank you.
