I used icns2icon and yet, I cannot change a folder's icon!

I have a .icns file, on which I used the icns2icon to have it correctly display correctly in finder (get it at http://www.icons.cx/goodies/), but still I cannot "select" the icon in the view information dialog and copy it to the corresponding folder icon I want, as per instructions I found on the web.
What is wrong?

I just tried my copy of icns2icons and everything seems to be working correctly. I converted an icns file so that it displayed the icon, did GetInfo, clicked the wee little icon at the top of the GetInfo window to select it (it has a teeny tiny blue halo when selected, which can be VERY hard to see), selected Copy. Created a new folder, did GetInfo on it and selected its wee icon, then selected Paste, and it immediately changed to the new icon. So, it should work. Are you sure you are getting the icon selected? At what point are getting the failure? Are you saying clicking on the wee little icon in GetInfo does not select it, so that Copy is greyed out? If so, try clicking again. Like I said, it can be hard to see whether you actually got it selected or not.

    You can't go to System Preferences>Desktop&Screen Savers and change the display? Try it and see. I've never seen that problem.

  • I cannot change any user account icons

    I cannot change any user account icons. Under the Default icons it says "No Items". Any new users are set up with a tennis ball with no other options. In the initial set up, there were a lot of choices. Now they're gone. It there a missing file?

    Yes the missing user icons is unexplained and nothing I've tried has resolved it.
    It seems to have occurred as part of the 10.8.2 update for me.
    No user shows any of the default or custom user icons available in the users system preference. All the Apple icons are present in the /Library/User Icons folder as well as custom icons but they do not appear within the system's panel period. No icons appear there. You are able to add icons to it -per user. Any done in this manner are saved in that user's preferences so this does not affect the system level. I have tried removing preferences. I have tried removing the icons and adding them back including as root but all changes are applied to the user only. I have run Diskwarrior, repaired permissions, etc. And nothing changes this.
    I cloned the image to another laptop, deleted all preferences from main library, restarted, logged in expecting it to be a preference issue. Still no user pictures shown for default user. In case the original users were corrupt, I created a new user and logged in with it. It was given one of the OSX pictures randomly chosen by the system. I logged in as user and still no pictures are shown. Tried to do a reinstall of 10.8.2 combo update and system refuses saying I cannot be done. Booted from recovery partition and it  allowed an internet recovery.
    No change. Took a brand new laptop and used user migration to copy the users over to it with all settings. Broke that system as well. Repeated creating new users, etc and no change. This is really annoying. I can repeat migrating users only and then partial settings to try to narrow it down but its time consuming.

  • Installed osx snow leapord, and now i cannot change background

    I recently updated my computer to Mac OS X Snow Leopard which caused several things to happen.  #1 I cannot change the Desktop background picture.  #2 Programs i have deleted keep showing up in the Dock after restart, even though i keep deleting the dock items.  #3 Other programs i have installed (Quickbooks) wont stay in the dock.

    Have you tried repairing your Home Folder's Permissions?
    to do this:
    boot to the Mac OS X Snow Leopard Disk.
    chose your language.
    go to the menu bar
    click on the Utilities Menu
    chose reset password Utility
    when reset password utility opens
    chose your build in hard drive
    select your user account
    then click on the button "Repair Home Folder Permissions"
    Quit Reset Password Utility
    Quit the installer
    chose the built in hard drive as the drive to boot too
    when the computer reboots, you can try removing and adding items to the dock, then log out and back in to verify the changes to the dock were saved.

  • Having trouble with downloads; cannot change downloads folder; items save to downloads folder but I cannot open them;it save all downloads as a .part file

    I cannot download any attachments. I get the pop up message to save it, I save it but it saves all attachments as a .part file which cannot be opened (or it just opens in Word even when it is a music/sound file.
    Also, I tried to change the folder I download to and it will not let me. I click "choose" in the downloads prefs area but it does not let me change it. the button is unresponsive.

    Lion hides the Library directory, but there are instructions on this page that describe how to make it visible.
    * http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
    In Snow Leopard, the Firefox profile is in User/<username>/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/<randomname>.default. I am assuming that the path has not changed in Lion.
    Finding something in the Library used to be easy before Apple decided that Spotlight should no longer access it, so I have taken to using Easyfind instead. If the path to the profile has changed in Lion, you could still find it by searching for cookies.sqlite, but you cannot use Spotlight for that. Easyfind is much more versatile anyway.

  • Active Content: cannot change Scripts folder name?

    Using DW 8.0.2.
    After I accept the Active Content workaround to be applied to
    my pages, I'd like to change Scripts folder name to "scripts" or
    even move the scripts to my "jscript" folder, which already exists.
    When I do this DW correctly asks to update the page links, but even
    with the correct links the scripts does not run anymore.
    It seems to be caused by some JS code included in the
    scripts, which points to "Scripts" folder in site root. But I don't
    know enough JS to identify and modify this. Any help will be very
    welcome.

    Shouldn't happen. I have moved the AC .....js file many times
    to different
    folders and if the path is correct, everything works
    properly. Can you
    please post a link.
    You cannot lose until you give up !!!

  • Time Machine does not appear to have my machine back ups past 9 days ago ? It backs up everyday to a Lacie 3.0TB drive that has 500GB free still , and yet I cannot find anything earlier that 01.03.2012 ?

    I back my iMac to a lacie 3.0TB drive since November last year , there is still room for 0.5TB yet all I can find to my horror is that the earliest back up is 01.03.2012 ?

    No, it deletes entire backups, one at a time.
    SO I guess that means that I need something ridiculous in size to use as a bakc up ?
    That's one possibility.  The other is to change your strategy. 
    Are you backing-up lots of intermediate files?  If so, you might consider excluding the folder(s) where that's done, and only backing-up a few semi-finished versions, or perhaps the final product.
    Or, exclude the working versions from Time Machine, but back them up to a separate drive or partition with a different app, such as CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper.  When a project is finished, and the final product is saved by Time Machine, just erase the "other" backup drive/partition.
    There are the pink lines but I cannot get access to them past 01.03.2012
    Ah, that's a different story.  See the pink box in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #15A.

  • I have changed my apple ID and password but cannot change it on my Icloud on my Ipad or Iphone can anyone help

    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
    Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
    In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
    If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

  • Problems when using outlook and outlook express, cannot send more than app 100 KB.

    Since app 6 weeks ago we have problems when sending pictures etc, we cannot send more than app 100KB. If we send more there is error code
      Socket Error 10053, Error number 0x800CCC0F. Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection.
    I have made no changes to either computer. Restoring the laptop to Nov 2011 made no difference.We use Outlook Exlorer and Outlook.
    When I take my laptop to my neighbors house, who has Time Warner, I can send 10MB files without any problems, using the EXACT same settings.
    Spending over 2 hours with a very informed Verizon technician on the phone did nothing.
    I first blamed our server, turns out the culprit is Verizon.

  • Newby question. Trying to fill a section but using fill and/or stroke only changes line colour

    Hi,
    Been trying to work this out for hours now so if anyone can help I will be forever thankful!
    Basically, I traced an image earlier, expanded it then wanted to change the line colour. For some reason I couldn't get this to work even though I've done it in the past. So, I used the magic wand to select the line then dragged it into my new document and changed the line colour.
    Now, I want to change the fill on certain sections, however when I change the stroke it changes the colour of the line and when I change the fill it changes the colour of the line.
    I'm not sure if that makes sense or if anyone can help based on that but I can post pictures or something if that would help?
    I also understand that the magic want thing might be where I've went wrong at the very start maybe?
    Thanks for any help at all!

    I don't know if that helps you understand at all?
    For example I want to fill the inside of the square but when I'm hitting the fill and stroke buttons they're just changing the colour of the line.
    I think I might just start from scratch again! Don't know where I've went wrong.
