Icon for Desktop App

I have created a link to an app on my desktop. Its icon is the general image. Get info of the link has the correct icon. Why doesn't the same icon show on the desktop link?

You're brilliant! It worked! It worked! Just like that!
Thank you SO much!

HT202159 Problem with Update on It started, then the screen went white and the icons for the apps on the desktop were all blackened, 'waiting'. What now?

It showed a number of apps to be updated on my iPad, so I clicked 'update all' as usual. It started, then the screen went white. The icons for the apps on the desktop went black, as they do, with the first one half way around the little circle timer, and two marked 'waiting', with others not that far into the process. They all stopped. Now I can't stop the update process in the App Store, or use any of the apps. What do I do next? Help, please!

Hello there, Rev Susi.
From what I can gather you have a few apps that only display "Waiting". The following is a past discussion that dealt with a similar issue, the answer may help you as well:
App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.

Creative Cloud for Desktop app Launch at login (solved)

I’ve had an issue with Creative Cloud for Desktop app (using Windows 8.1 Update 1 x64) – regardless of what has been set on my Preferences > General Tab > Launch at login, my app didn’t start at logon (system startup).
I’ve tried:
uncheck the ‘Launch at login’ option (Preferences > General Tab). Restart PC. Launch the CC app, check ‘Launch at login’. Restart. Didn’t help.
uncheck the ‘Launch at login’ option (Preferences > General Tab). Restart PC. Remove the startup Key from registry stored under: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]. Restart. Launch the CC app, check ‘Launch at login’. Restart. Didn’t help.
reinstall Creative Cloud for desktop app. Didn’t help.
rename the OPM.db file (as described here: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/apps-panel-reflect-creative-cloud.html). Didn’t help.
Finally - since the CC app is actually and x86 application - I’ve moved the startup entry from the x64 Run Key [Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] into the common x86 [Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run].
Simply:
a. Remove:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"Adobe Creative Cloud"="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Adobe\\Adobe Creative Cloud\\ACC\\Creative Cloud.exe\" --showwindow=false --onOSstartup=true"
a. Create:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"Adobe Creative Cloud"="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Adobe\\Adobe Creative Cloud\\ACC\\Creative Cloud.exe\" --showwindow=false --onOSstartup=true"
And you know what? it woooorks!!! Now my app starts with windows!
I'm sharing this in case someone else has run into the same problem.

Icons for new apps not showing up on iPad?

My iPad and iPhone are not displaying icons for new apps. How can I fix this?

To the OP .... Did you try either of theses steps?
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
to you both ....
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If you have many apps they can't all fit one one screen. Try swiping from screen to screen to see if you can find them. I would suggest checking restrictions as well, but I believe that if restrictions are enabled, you couldn't download the apps in the first place.
You can also look for the apps in iTunes on your computer. Connect the iPad to your computer, launch iTunes, select your device on the left sidebar under devices and click on the apps tab. Look at all of your iPad screens in there and see if you can find them.

Icon for my app

Hi all:
Once I have finished my app and I would like to test my app
in my mobile phone, I found a problem:
I have .as files, images files and several swf files, I used
makesis to generate the sis file. It works fine.But I need to add
an Icon for my app in the main menu of my mobile device, which will
launch Flash Lite Player (playing my swf logically). How could I do
this?
Any Idea?

It might have been disabled in restriction settings>general>restrictions are make sure App Store is on

Simple question! Is it possible to have a custom icon for an app part?

Hi All
Title says it all: is it possible to have a custom icon for an app part / client web part?
It used to be straightforward with the previous dev tools, but the ImageUrl was typically to a hive folder (which is obviously out of bounds now).
I've "Binged" with no joy. None of the samples I've seen have a custom icon.
So - can it be done?
Regards
Nigel

HT4623 I downloaded the new operating system to my iphone 4S and the icons for my apps are missing? How do Icorrect this?

I downloadedthe new operating system to my iphone 4S and now I can't find my icons for my apps? Any Suggestions??

If you will go to settings to itunes and apps store. Once you've logged in with your apple id you then are given the option to automatically download apps that were purchased using the Apple id in which you logged in with .
Good luck.

Custom icon for desktop shortcut

Hi All,
I have a link in the portal which when the end users click should create a desktop shortcut to the portal.
I used this to create the desktop shortcut
var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
strDesktop = WshShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop");
var oShellLink = WshShell.CreateShortcut(strDesktop + "
Portal.url");
oShellLink.TargetPath = "URL to the portal";
oShellLink.Save();
By default we get the IE icon for this shortcut. I want a custom icon to be associated with this shortcut.
I can use oShellLink.IconLocation but the icon needs to be in every users c:\windows folder.
Does somebody know how can I add this custom icon?
Many Thanks,
Akhilesh

Icon for Desktop Shows Up as a Generic Icon in the Places Sidebar

Noticed yesterday that the icon for the Desktop showed up as a generic icon in the Places Sidebar. I have tried resetting the PRAM, repaired the Hard Disk and Permissions using the Disk Utility and deleted the com.apple.desktop.plist pref in my user library. I also checked my Admin account I use for troubleshooting and the desktop icon was fine in that account. Not sure what else to do. Not a big deal but just wanted to make sure that it is not a sign of bigger things to come. Maybe the MBP knows I'm thinking of trading it in for a new model, LOL.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
Tom

Wow. That's stunning. I don't really know why it works, but it does. Apparently when you paste something on top of the icon in the sidebar, and remove it, it refreshes itself and somehow remembers the original icon?
I deleted something and had several blank white icons in the sidebar, so I removed them and restored by pulling them back on from my home folder. Everything worked except the Desktop. First it was the blank white icon. Then I pulled it from my home folder and it was a plain blue icon with the generic page symbol, such as a standard Documents folder icon. Then I fiddled with it and pulled it over again and it changed to the generic blue desktop icon you see in the home folder. Last I tried your step of just pasting the generic desktop icon over it and undo-ing that paste, and viola!
Many thanks for sharing. I could have forced myself to live with the generic, but it wouldn't have been the same, and not truly satisfactory, as it wasn't back the way I started. Insert applause.

No icon for the apps

I updated to Mavericks yesterday and right now there is no app icons for some of the apps in the lauch pad and dock..

Be sure there are no Restriction. Go to Settings//General/ restrictions
if there are no restrictions on Apps then got to Settings/General/Usage and under Storage select Manage storage scroll down and find the App in question, seleft the app then hit Delete.

Want an iTunes icon for desktop

I want an iTunes icon for the desktop; but when I look in the iTunes folder under Start Menu/All Programs/iTunes, all that has in there is iTunes.exe. When I double click on it, it tries to install.
Where can I get (or how do I make) a shortcut for desktop?

=bg= wrote:
when I right click, 'create shortcut' is not shown.
Is that the iTunes icon in your Start menu, that you're clicking on rather than your iTunes.exe, bg?
In Computer, open Local disk C:\ or whichever drive you have your program files installed on.
If you have a 32-bit Vista, open the "Program files" folder.
If you have a 64-bit Vista, open the "Program files (x86)" folder.
Open the "iTunes" folder.
Right-click on the iTunes.exe file and select "Create Shortcut".
(If you have "Hide extensions for known file types" engaged in your View options, and you can't see the .exe extension, be sure click on the iTunes file in the "iTunes" folder that has the iTunes icon. (The other one is your iTunes.dll, not your iTunes.exe.)

Retaining Custom made Icons For Automator Apps

Hello, I've noticed that when I give a custom made icon to an Automator app, it will display it on my Mac but when I send it to someone, it's original icon is displayed. Is there any way to have it display the custom made icon even when I send it to someone else?

Jerry,
I suspect you are using the old trick from the Classic OS of just transferring the icons between the Info windows.
I think there is a way to retain that icon but it is quite involved. I haven't tried this so just guessing at this point.
The normal icon for the Automator app is stored in the package that is created when you save the completed workflow. You can get access to the package by using the Show Package Contents contextual menu item in the Finder.
Inside the package you will find a number of files and folders. Within the Resources folder you will find two files related to the icons for the package, one for the Applet and one for documents.
The Applet icon file is the one that you need to work on and change to retain your modified icon. There is a little utility called Icon Composer that is an Apple product available on my machine in the Open with dropdown contextual menu. This might have been installed with the Developer tools though.
Within Icon Composer you can replace the icons within the Applet file and they should stick upon transfer to another machine. Here is the description within the help files of Icon Composer.
"You need to give IconComposer at least one image to generate an icon (.icns) file. However, you should provide four different versions of the icon. IconComposer optimizes each version for rendering at the resolutions of 128x128 pixels, 48x48 pixels, 32x32 pixels, and 16x16 pixels.
If you give IconComposer only one image, it should be optimized to look best at 128x128 pixels. This ensures it looks goods when displayed at the maximum resolution of 128x128 pixels, and looks acceptable when scaled down to the smaller resolutions.
If you supply different sizes of the icon to IconComposer, you should also provide 1-bit image masks for the three smaller resolutions. An image mask defines what parts of the icon are clickable. Assuming the color black is used to compose the image mask, any areas that are colored black in the mask define which parts of the icon can receive mouse clicks.
IconComposer can create icons from the following image formats: GIF, JPEG, PDF, PICT, PNG, TIFF, and any of the QuickTime-supported image formats. To create the actual icon file, drag the icon images to the corresponding image wells in IconComposer. Then choose Save from the File menu, which prompts you to name the icon file and choose a location for it."
So as you can see it could be quite involved.
It might be easier to develop a method to automate what you are currently doing and provide the people with a blank file that has the other icon to transfer.
