How to change Flash Drive icons (mine shows as a default)

Why does This keep happening ? on every mac my Flash drive has the icon but on mine it shows like this

I always have converted .png files to .icns files. You can do this for free from iconverticons.com. Click on Use iConvert icons Online.
I think the following might work when using the .png file.
Open the .png file in Preview
Press Command+A to select the entire image
Press Command+C to copy the selection
Do a Get Info on Macintosh HD and click the thumbnail icon to select it
Press Command+V to paste the image

How to change Topic's Icon and show the Print Button

Hi, currently i'm using robohelp html version 8. I have spent quite some time to figure out how to change topic's Icon and show the Print Button in my project. Anyone can help me on this? Btw, i using MX(template) to generate the output with FlashHelp Pro.
Below is the screenshot for clearer clarification:
Thanks.

We would have told you if there was.
Sorry but a downside of FlashHelp is that your customising options are limited.

Wanted - drive icons that show the percent drive used & free graphically

Anyone know of an app or utility that dynamically modifies each mounted desktop drive icon to show the percentage of drive used and free?
I'd like to see a pie graph or bar graph of how much disk space is used and free as the drive icon.
While I am wishing I'd like it to dynamically update in real time or at some settable interval.
I have iPulse that sort of shows it. I am sure there are other apps that provide a separate indicator but I want the indication as the drive icon.
There.... I wished my wish.

I just noticed that if in view, you change the font size to 10, 11, 13, or 14pt, it displays correctly. Any other size and it does not.
huh, I never thought to try that. Odd that 12pt doesn't work. Maybe I'll resubmit this bug.

External Mounted Hard Drive Icon Not Showing on Desktop nor on Sidebar

Bonjour,
I have a portable drive that does NOT show up in the Sidebar nor on the Desktop. The only way I can see and navigate through it is by clicking in Disk Utility > Mount Point: <hyper-link>
Then hard drive icon and its content show up fine. But the HD icon is slightly dimmed (it is paler than the all other - HD, computer, etc - icons).
I verified the external HD and it is just fine. I have another eDrive (TechTool Pro 4) partition and it shows up like any normal HDs normally does.
How can I get the icon to show up back into the Sidebar and the Desktop?
Is there a "Preference" file I need to throw out?
Is there a UNIX command I could execute to make it show up again?
Thanks for your assistance.

Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and run the following:
tell application "System Events"
set visible of (choose folder with invisibles) to false
end tell
When prompted, select your hard disk in the dialog box. Next, log out and back in.

Can't see flash drive icon on desktop

Why doesn't my Sandisk flash drive icon appear on my desktop when I insert it into my USB port? Thanks.

1. It needs more power than the USB port provides. Try plugging it into a powered hub or a port on the computer itself.
2. It is formatted with an incompatible file system. Check to see if you can select the drive in Disk Utility.
3. The Finder preferences for viewing disks are set to not show this type of device.
4. The file system is corrupted or the device is kaput.

- Have you tried a reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try syncing the iPod to your computer. Then delete from iTunes and sync. that should delete it from the iPod. Then redownload it.

Flashing finder icon and showing "don't restore windows" and "restore windows" text box

hi, i hav problem with the flashing finder icon and showing "don't restore windows" and "restore windows" text box. im using macbookpro MAC OS X 10.7.5. i've search for solutions, lik relaunch the finder by pressing COMMAND+ALT+esc, but it didn't work for me...
any1 can help me, thx...

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

What do you mean by icons? Website favicons for the tabs you have pinned? Your bookmarks? Something else?

Will Mac flash drive icons show up in Windows?

So I have a project where I need to create a custom icon for a flash drive (to be used as a marketing giveaway). The device has to work on both Macs and PCs.
If I format the drive as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and replace the default icon with the one I've created, will it show up when mounted on a PC?
Or, do I need to create an AUTORUN.inf file, save the icon as an .ico file, and so forth?
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

No. Windows cannot natively read MacOS volumes.
The device has to work on both Macs and PCs.
Then format it as FAT.

My flash drive isn't showing up on my Mac. How do I find it?

I need to get a file off my flash drive and onto my mac. I plugged it in and it isn't showing up. I checked the finder window, as it has been there before but its not there. My flash drive is working, as I can open it on our other comp.

Click on the Desktop and go to Finder>Preferences>General tab and make sure 'External Disks' is ticked under devices. Do the same on the Sidebar tab if you'd like it to show there as well.

Flash Drive Icon acting funny

Hello,
I use a flash drive San Disk mini Cruzer 512, and it always showed as a removeable media. Today it came up on the finder as a folder icon with no ejection symbol, clicking on it gave me a "could not be found" error. Yet my backup utility would read the contents fine when the finder would not display them. When I pulled it of the port, I got a device removal error. I trashed the plist Finder file and did a relaunch, now the drive comes up as a hard drive! I would think this a problem. Any one out there know. A second flash drive I have works normally. Do these things wear out?
iBook G4 1.25 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I can't reproduce that behavior, so I have no idea if this will help, but you could try going to your home/Library/Caches/com.apple.finder folder, and delete the file there, and then logout or restart.
