Icon Composer - Doesn't work

This is one of the developers tools. It seems like it should be simple but all pic format and sizes I try to drag into it get rejected.
Can't find much info on the web. What I find seems to be for older versions of the program.
Any ideas?

1. You can paste any image you want onto folders but that doesn't make it 'an icon', just as changing the name of a text file does not change its contents.
2. Icon Composer lets you create icon resources, which you then can add to a program and compile that. That way you set +default icons+ for the application and its related files. Select any file or folder with one of your pasted icons, select "Show Info", click on the icon and press "Delete". You'll see your trick doesn't stick.
But: it seems your ultimate goal was only to customize folders. If so, yes: open any image in preview, select an appropriate part, copy, paste into the Show Info icon field -- that's all there is to it.
By the way, the transparency mask in IC is automatically created from the alpha mask in the original image. Since jpegs do not have masks, there is no mask added. If you drag a PNG onto it which has a transparency mask, you'll see this appear in IC.

  • HT201343 My Mac book pro all of a sudden doesn't have the airplay icon and doesn't work with my Apple TV . Why  ?

    My Mac book pro all of a sudden doesn't have the airplay icon and doesn't work with my Apple TV . Why  ?

    The Airplay icon will not display if the OS is unable to locate any Airplay devices.
    I would check that both devices are connected to the same network and maybe even power cycle the network devices - eg router etc
    Maybe even try to connect both devices to another network like an iPhone personal Hotspot and see if that helps to isolate the problem

    Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
    You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • My older iPhone which is the 3G or 3S and it's showing an Itune Icon, and doesn't Work. What's wrong with the iPhone 3GS and how to fix it? It was working fine a few days ago

    Starting to wonder if the iPhone's been hacked into. The Iphone was working perfectly fine just a short time ago...only 48 hours ago. I never saw a screen on the front of the front of the phone which showed an iTunes Icon at the top of the screen and a cord going down to the bottom of the screen before. I cannot use the phone, get online to get to the internet, take photos of anything.
      The phone was working perfectly the day it started working very very strangely and I was able to use the phone, see the time of day, take photos, get online, etc.
      How do you fix the phone? I am not going to "restore" the phone & get ALL my info, photos & everything deleted!
      Think we need to change the phone number because we also got a strange phone call from a phone number we never saw before!
       Need some help. as I'm sure people CAN hack into smartphones.

    It's in recovery mode. It's tryijng to tell you to plug it into iTunes and restore it.

    I hate to tell you this, but ALL your "info, photos & everything" are already gone.
    You don't have a choice.

  • Ipod nano displays apple icon and doesn't work

    I bought this nano as a gift (I already have an identical one). There were no problems syncing the content and registering the device, but once it is disconnected from the system, if you navigate to a song on the device and hit "[play", the screen goes black and will only display an apple icon.
    I returned the first one thinking it's a hardware issue, but the replacement is doing the exact same thing, leading me to believ it is a setting or software issue. I got the replacement in a completely different Best Buy too, just to try and get one from a different batch. Any ideas what's going on?

    Make sure you are using the latest version of iTunes and the Ipod's firmware is up to date.
    Make sure the "screen lock" is not set to on. Make sure the hold button at the top of iPod Nano is in the "off" position.

  • The applicatio​n uninstalle​r ,created with Labwindows CVI, doesn´t work after upgrading to 2010 version

    Hi,
    I have been working with Labwindows CVI 2009 with no problem but after upgrading to 2010 version I have the following problem:
    When i´m going to execute the unistaller, either from Windows Control Panel or directly from the uninst.exe icon, it doesn´t work. The PC thinks a few seconds and does nothing, and it happens with all the applications I build with Labwindows CVi 2010.
    Thanks,

    Hello -
    Are you installing these distributions on a non-English operating system?  If so, the first thing to try would be the workaround listed on this known issue. 
    The known issue only lists Italian OSs as the troublesome OS, but it could actually happen on many different non-English OSs. I will update the text accordingly the next time I update the known issues list.

    My current situation: I have soooo many texts on my iphone and I haven't deleted many because I need the information contained in them for future reference and for legal purposes.  I would really like to find a means and way to save them other than on the phone itself. I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need.  It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and my MacBook Pro.
    Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

  • Ipod displaying sad icon (tried the Guide, doesn't work)

    Can someone help me?
    I was using my Ipod Video 30gb and it froze, so I reset it and it showed a sad Ipod icon with a "!" beside it.
    After I went to the guide and tried to restore it but when I plug it in (to my windows XP laptop) it is not shown in itunes, my computer, Ipod updater or anything:(
    I've tried to put it into disk mode, but that doesn't work either! I think I need to restore it but it won't show up.

    i'm having the same problem. there are a couple other things u can try, which didn't work for me but worked for other people, maybe you too. one thing that seems to work A LOT is to drop it flat onto a hard surface, say onto the desk from 6 inches -- or to give it a smack on the side, not TOO hard but enough to let it know you mean business. It often just starts right up. If that doesn't work you can open it up and disconnect the hard drive for 5-10 minutes -- there is also a manual reset button on the hard drive on some models (not mine, maybe yours). The best posting I've seen on how to do all this is here:

  • HT4623 I've installed the update and even resorted to the restore function. My phone doesn't work not. My screen shows a graphic of the usb connector with an arrow pointing towards and Itunes icon. It will do nothing else! HELP

    I've installed the iPhone update and now my phone doesn't work. I even chose the restore function. It went through all that and it still just shows the graphic of the usb and an arrow and the itunes icon. Help!

    Yes, I connected the phone to my iMac which is the original computer it is backed up on. From iTunes I had no option except to restore, which I did. Still no luck. Still just see the graphic. :-(

  • A little uncanny situation since release of FIREFOX RC is that 'Reload option which used to come under view option is no longer visible,but appears as an icon in toolbar...which sometimes doesn't work'. Please try to fix it if its only my problem

    I have been using FIREFOX since a long time back and am quite happy with FIREFOX 4.
    But a little uncanny situation since release of FIREFOX RC is that 'Reload which used to come under view option is no longer visible,but appears as an icon(button) in toolbar...which sometimes doesn't work(becomes blur and sometimes firefox hangs)'.
    Please try to fix it if its only my problem or include it in next release.Thanks!

  • Since upgrade, I can't now tell the size of attachments added to email and the attachment link from the icon doesn't work properly. How can these be addressed?

    Since the upgrade to mozilla and to windows was installed on my computer, when I use my hotmail account with mozilla, I now cannot tell the size of attachments. Previously you could see the size of attachments but now when the cursor passes over the attachment, this works on Internet explorer but not Mozilla. Also, the icon for attachments often doesn't work, nor the "send as an online document" nor the "No thanks" icon.

    The "Use custom settings for history" selection allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting this doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.
    Firefox shows "Use custom settings for history" as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.
    If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".
    "Never Remember History" means that Private Browsing is active and "Always use private browsing mode" gets a checkmark.
    You need to remove the checkmark on "Always use private browsing mode" to leave Private Browsing mode or chose the "Remember History" setting.

  • When i open iTunes U it comes up with just the brown bookshelf but no icons to click on and then it closes. I've deleted it and then re-download it and it still doesn't work.

    On the bookshelf there's no icons to click on and after a mintue it closes. I've deleted it and then re-download it and it still doesn't work. Im using a ipod touch 4 and im on 5.1.

    I, too, am having this problem and it's annoying.  The app just shuts down every time I use it. Too bad cuz it looks lie there are so many wonderful courses in the catalog.
    Any tips on how to fix this would be appreciated!
    Thanks.

  • Slider for scaling finder icons doesn't work if...

    I enabled the statusbar in the Finder window which enables the slider to scale the icons. But it doesn't work if I switch from the column view to the icon view. But the slider works if I switch from the list view or the cover flow.
    You will find a screenvideo at http://www.arangoo.com/slider.mp4.
    Thanks.

    Wow, I was having the same problem and never noticed that if you switch from list or cover flow it works! Still annoying but at least it's a quick work around. I hope Apple notices this and gets a fix going.
