Icon for audio file

I am playing with creating a multimedia story using Pages and its ability to support audio files. Is it possible to change the icon for the sound file? For example if I want to use a sound clip to offer the opportunity to play a telephone message in the story, could I make the an image of a telephone be the icon clicked to hear the message? If so, how?
Thanks.

Did you install the latest version of iTunes?
In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
In the sidebar, when you connect the iPod, it should appear under DEVICES.  Does it appear there?

  • Displayed icon for audio files changed with snow install - how to I restore

    After installing 10.6, the icons displayed on audio files (aiff, mp3, etc.) became a black square with a music symbol in it when it should be the default application icon or quicktime icon. The icon in the upper left corner of the info window is correct, but the hideous square displays. How do I restore to the correct icon?

    I have the same problem. I produce a daily podcast ("Mister Ron's Basement") and I have almost 1500 episodes on my hard drives in both the original recordings (aiff files done with Sound Studio) and mp3 versions. They used to have different icons, and even though the aiff files will still open in Sound Studio automatically, they all have the same black square icon. Used to be, at least you'd get an icon that had the word with the file type on it, but no more. I have changed many of the back ones with Candy Bar, after sorting them by file type, but every new file I create, I have to go to get info and change the icon by hand. Not very professional, and a waste of my time. Can I expect sound icon differentiation to be returned to the Macintosh Operating System at some time in the near future?

  • Error while updating default media player for audio files??

    Ever since I received a replacement iPod Nano for my original through the AppleCare program, I frequently get the following message while syncing podcasts:
    "An error occurred while updating the default player for audio file types. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
    How can I correct this problem?

  • Vista - how do you make iTunes the default player for audio files?

    Having started using iTunes on a new Vista PC, I've found that it defaults back to Windows Media as the default audio file player every time the machine is rebooted.
    But worse than that, I cannot find any option to make iTunes the default player for MP3 files - under the Vista settings, the ONLY option offered is Windows Media: there is not even a box to tick for iTunes.
    Have others found this? Is there any way around this?
    (I thought that Microsoft was legally precluded from making these kind of enforced settings now???)

    Although I now seem to have successfully made iTunes the default player for audio files, iTunes has started putting up this message:
    "The iTunes Music Library file cannot be saved. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
    A quick scan of the forum shows this problem has come up quite a few times, but I'm far from clear if there is a definitive answer/solution. I am the administrator for the computer. It sounds worrying that the Library file is not being saved - should I be worried?

  • The icons for html files are blank . . . how do i get them to show the firefox image

    on the desktop and in directories, the icons for html files are blank . . .
    firefox is my default browser . . .
    how do i get the icons to show the firefox image ?? . . .

    You can check for issues with the Windows icon cache and try to rebuild the icon cache.
    # Open the Task Manager (Shift+Ctrl+ESC)
    # In the Process tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select End Process.
    # Open the file picker via "File > New Task (Run)" and click the Browse button.
    # Type or Paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local (%LocalAppData%) in the File name field (AppData is a hidden folder).
    # Select the IconCache.db file and use "Delete" in the right-click context menu to delete the file.
    # After the IconCache.db file has been deleted, start a new explorer.exe process via "File > New Task" to get the desktop and Taskbar back.
    The IconCache.db file is a hidden file, so make sure that you can see hidden files.

  • ITunes doesn't recognise iPod as the default player for audio files.

    A few weeks ago my husband completely re-installed our laptop, without properly looking at how to backup my iPod touch. Everything was lost and I have had to start again, however the system still comes up with this message each time I plug the iPod in:
    iTunes has detected this is not the default player for audio files. Would you like to go to the Default Program Control Panel to fix this.
    I go to the Control Panel, but have no idea what to do.
    Can anyone please help me?
    I have not upgraded to version (4.0)
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Geordie81,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Are you sure it wasn't referring to making iTunes the default application for audio files as described in this Apple support document? Worth a shot anyways.

  • Custom Icon for application file

    I can make director allow me to have a custom icon for appliacation file.
    In director I have attempted this several times where I have tried to have my appliaction file have an icon.  I have purchased two icon program Candy Bar and Fastincs trying to remedy this problem.
    As you see here I am using an ins file created in Fastincs.  Now here is an image to the path and the icon itself Applipcations/ Adobe Director 11/3 HorseLogo.mac.ins
    So there is the setup now when I complile for my program file I get this.
    See the grey Director icon I don't want that I want the three horse logo.
    I also tried to assign the logo after publishing the file.
    then I drag my icon file in
    The program created in director still wont see the icon file.
    If I use Candy bar (icon application)  I get a  different result. The icon works
    in both finder and on the task bar
    This is exactly what I want.
    I works until I try to move the entire package into an installer program  I am using BitRock.  When I compile the installation program then try to run the application I get the following message
    If I choose ignore the install continues.  But I have no icon.
    I am desperate , weeping , screaming , and almost a lost cause, any help any help at all I could really use.
    Thanks

    Hi Robin,
    I'm more of a PC person rather than Mac. I would recommend you look at the Resource and Icon Editor page at:

    It may fix your icon issue from Director.

  • Where I can find bitrate info for audio file?

    I just upgrade to OS X 10.9.2 and I can't find bitrate informations for audio file in Finder's info window. Is there someone with the same problem?

    Here's an Automator Service that wil give you a pop-up:
    (Highlight the audio file, right click and select the service name)
    Open Automator, Select Service.
    The Service is:
    The Run Shell Script Action is:
    echo $(( $(mdls -raw -name kMDItemTotalBitRate "$1" ) /1000 ))  \(File: "${1##*/}"\)
    The AppleScript is:
    on run {input, parameters}
      display dialog "Total bit rate: " & input buttons {"OK"} default button 1
              return input
    end run

    I updated to OS X 10.8.5 and the icons for the files of one app were originally for another app (and opened it). I was able to make the files open the the original app but now the icons have turned generic. How do I fix this?

  • "An error occurred while updating the default player for audio file types"

    Getting ready for a deployment of version 9.2 of iTunes for 1400+ users.
    Getting this error when a 'normal' user goes into Edit/Preferences of iTunes and makes no changes.
    "An error occurred while updating the default player for audio file types. you do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
    I've elevated privileges of the C:\program files\itunes directory for this user to Full Control however problem remains.
    Tried to modify the folder to remove 'read-only', as found this suggestion on here, but read-only keeps applying itself.
    User has full rights to the location of the media as specified under Advanced Tab. If I tick 'Set as default media player' and remove tick and then click OK I do not get the error. From what I've read it's affected older versions of iTunes also.
    Doe anyone have any other suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    I had a similar issue. Turned out that - somehow - one of the directories or files in my iTunes music folder had gotten set to read only. Fixing it was easy.
    Go to Edit/Preferences.
    Choose the Advanced tab
    in the General subtab select the contents of the box labeled "iTunes Music folder location"
    Click Start, choose Run
    Paste the location
    Press the button to move up one level
    Right-click the music folder, choose Properties
    If this is your problem, the read-only box will be a solid color or checked. Set it to empty and choose the default "apply to folder and all subfolders and files." This will set everything in there readable, which after I did so I stopped getting the error.

  • Upgraded to 10.3.1.55, now can't set iT as default player,"An error occurred when updating the default player for audio files types.  You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." How to fix?

    After I upgraded iTunes, iTunes doesn't recognize CD in the drive, apparently isn't the default player.  It won't let me set iTunes as the default player, I get the error message "An error occurred when updating the default player for audio files types."  I tried Whitesides' remedy (changing Read Only status in folder in Windows) but it didn't solve the problem.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    Oddly enough. I think I just solved it. It looks like, for some reason, my computer has about 8 different "iTunes music" folders, and I've been saving my music to the wrong one. Neat. Music now imports and plays as it should. Copying things over is going to be so fun tonight!

  • Remove the unique icon for movie files

    In Finder, I get a custom icon for each movie file that is the first frame of the movie. That doesn't help me, so I want to change it to only show the QuickTime image as a custom icon. This is the behavior of Tiger and it was useful to me. I don't get any benefit out of seeing the first frame. I get a benefit out of instantly knowing it is a movie file. Please reply if you know how to revert Leopard to using the application icon rather than the first frame image as the document icon.

    Progress? I think not. Anyone know a hack to make the Finder show app icon for all files at once?
    Open a Finder window, go to Macintosh HD (or whatever the boot volume is called in your system), click the little gear icon/button, and select "Show View Options", then un-tick "Show icon preview", and click on the "Use as Defaults" button (if this button is not active, select a different option from the Arrange drop-down menu, and it will activate).

  • TS3276 I can not open gmail attachments  on my iPad, the icon for the file is a down arrow

    I can not open gmail attachments  on my iPad, the icon for the file is a down arrow....  that only happend on Gmail account

    It could be just an issue with the gmail server. I don't know what settings can be made for attatchments there. I generally leave those messages with large attatchments alone and view them on the computer. I was finding that certain large files like .wmv would sometimes take 5 to 10 minutes to open on the iPad.
    Yes it's aggrivating, but I don't have that answer either.

  • Icon size for audio file insert on a PDF page.

    Acrobate X V10.1.9 Windows 7.
    I wish to insert an audio file on a pdf page. I select "multimedia", "sound". Get the window to select the file. Once selected I then find that I cannot size the icon that appears on the page (click to play). The two fields are grayed out. If I click "OK" it results in a very large "click to play" icon. I cannot resize the icon on the page..
    Does this function require C++? Have been getting an error message on PC startup about something being in error. I click OK and all seems to be working ok.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Joe

    You can crop it, but the size will not change to letter. However, after cropping, you can print with expand to fit page selected. If you like you can expand this to a new PDF using print, though not generally the recommended approach. Do you have any idea how it was reduced in the first place? If so, have you tried the reverse process?
