How do I change icons in the dock (iPhone 5, iOS 7)

Seems a fairly simple question I can't seem to find an answer to. One used to be able to change these in the normal way, by holding down an icon until the screens starts shaking then dragging into the dock. It seems now though in iOS 7 that one no longer has control over what's in the dock. Am I missing something?

Nevermind... It still works in the same way. Couldn't get it for some reason before.

There are two extensions that help you apply your choice of an image for any Bookmark, not just the BTB icons. Choose one extension based upon the features it has, <br />

Changing icons on the dock

Hi,
i just get some new funny icons i'd install on my dock instead of the defaults one.
Anybody knows how i get to it?

First, you need to change the application's icon in the Finder window. Some utilities exist to do this for you. And an application called ShapeShifter will apply sets of icons to your whole entire computer.
They can be added indiviudally if you only want to change a select few icons.
-First, open a Finder window
-Find your application, Right/Control-click on the app, and choose "Get Info..."
-You will see a tiny version of the icon at the top left corner. Click on it, and you will see a blue area around it, indicating that you've selected it.
-Now find your icon, and Get Info on this file. Select it in the left corner and then choose "EDIT > COPY"
-Then select the app's Get Info window, select the icon, and paste it.
-You may need to take the icon off the dock and then put the new icon into the dock to update the icon.
Version Tracker You cam find all different sorts of apps here to change your icons, as well as the app ShapeShifter.

How do I rearrange icons in the dock?

Beginning with OS X 10.1, I've always been able rearrange icons in the dock by simply dragging them to a new position. Existing icons move out of the way to make way. But not any more, not with Mountain Lion. With a lot of fiddling I can get the icon to lift out, but then no existing icons slide over to make room. Everything appears to be locked down solid.
This can't be how Apple now wants the OS to behave! Some have suggested I trash the system preferences in order to restore flexibility. Something I'm very reluctant to do.
I strongly suspect Apple has "hardened" the dock to protect the careless user. Holding down Option, Command and/or Control has no effect.
Surely there must be a new technique for re-arranging icons, but what is it?
With kind regards,

Yes, that does work. However the OS puts up great resistence. Formerly the OS accommodated smoothly, like silk. Now it's as if the OS is testing my intention all the way. Finally, reluctantly lets go.
Thanks for the help.

Changing icons on the dock back to the originals

I changed most of the icons on my dock to the ones that resemble a periodic table. I did this by clicking "get info" on the application and copying and pasting the new icon into the icon slot. I was wondering how I could go back to the old original icons for the apps. Thanks in advance.

If you open the Get Info window, you can select the icon in the upper left corner the same way you originally put the icon there. But instead of pasting, either cut (+X) or press the delete key. Should be back to normal.

CANNOT change Icons in the dock or other places like I used to in 10.5.8

I found a nice set of icons that I would like to set to my MBP that I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. So far I really haven't had any real problems that I wasn't able to work through except for this one. I've even opened up the "Info" box and changed the sharing and the permissions and changed them so that as an administrator I could change the icon but no luck! On my G5 tower I have no problem at all using the standard procedure but when I apply it to my laptop it just doesn't want to work. I'd appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks

I've been playing around with that problem for a bit now: Apple changed it with Leopard and Snow Leopard and it's not as easy as it was with Tiger... but I found a way around it:
When you control click on any of your folders (to the right of the System Prefs icon), you need to have the following checked:
Sort by: Name
Display as: Folder
View content as: List
Having changed icons dozens of times, I found that any other setting will keep your pretty icon within a Finder window, but as soon as move it to the Dock, it'll revert to the stock view.
So, once you choose above settings, go ahead and change an icon on one of your folders and then drag it into the dock. It should work - mine have been there for 2 weeks now.

Changing Icons in the dock size

Ok, so I go to various sites and get Mac Icons. I have a Wall-E picture pack, comic book hero picture pack, etc.
Except the icon they show on the download screen is so much bigger. When I put them in the dock, they're much smaller. I have seen Mac desktop shots online that users post and the icons are bigger.
I have tried the sliders for the Dock and it barely does anything.
Do I need to get a program to resize them?

How many apps do you have in your Dock? The more apps you have, the smaller they necessarily have to be. If you don't want to reduce the number of apps, the other recourse, if you want to see the icons larger, is to turn on magnification (right-click on the dock separator, Turn Magnification On).

Picture folder stack icons in the dock become folders after viewing

Hi Everyone
I have been using img2icon to make new icons for the document folders I keep in the stacks. I have changed the stacks settings to folders to show the icon. It looks good but when I view the stack and then put them down again, the icons go and are replaced by the folder icons.
Also wondering if anyone knows how to replace application icons in the dock?
Thank U
Stuart

I had a similar "issue"...a simple restart solved it.

Spaces icon in the dock

For the life of me I cannot figure out how to put the spaces icon in the dock. Spaces are working correctly and I can use them in the menu and with the hot key but I can't figure out how to get an icon in the dock. cheers

Go into the applications folder using finder. You will see the Spaces app sitting there. Drag it into the Dock... . Go Drag&Drop!!

You should consider downloading the 10.6.8 combo updater and applying it again.

How to keep MS excel icon in the dock at iMac of guest sharing account

Dear All
May i know how to keep MS excel icon in the dock at iMac of guest sharing account.
Thank a lot
Raymond

It's normal for the Guest account to return to a default state after logging out. Applications can still be opened from the Applications & other folders.
You can add things to the Dock, & make other changes, using Workgroup Manager 10.8
although it's not especially intuitive or forgiving. Post again if you want to try it.

I was changing the appearance of the icons in the dock....

I was changing the appearance of the icons in the dock. And I decided to try doing the same thing to the icon in the sidebar in Finder. I ended up making one icon into a grey square. How do I restore the original sidebar icon?

I found an easy solution (it doesn't require the operating system to be reinstalled). And here's what my finder sidebar looks like now:
Just follow the simple instructions here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjiVTcCvMTI&feature=youtu.be

How Can I Remove the Finder Icon From the Dock?

Hi! Can someone tell me how to remove the Finder icon from the dock? I don't even care if Finder quits. I just want it removed from the dock. I really don't care if I can't get to my files. Please help.

Start by going to your core services, (/system/library/coreservices). You can do this by pressing Shift+Cmd+G and then paste (/system/library/coreservices), without parentheses.
After doing this, find Dock.app, right click, show package contents. This doesn't contain the icons on your dock, just finder and trash.
After that, move all finder services to the desktop, and then erase them from the core services folder. At this point it will prompt you to put in your password, do so.
Next you'll want to open terminal and type 'killall dock' or, you could restart your computer.
This should remove the finder icon from your dock, while still giving you access to it from your desktop.
Hope this helps!

If you can't get dragging to work, just click on Safari from your Applications folder, and it should appear in the dock. Then you can right-click on the icon and PIN it permanently there.
