I recommend purchasing the program Candybar. It's very cheap and so easy to use. You can instantly change all of your icons very simply.
I think it's like $15.
I have it and love it.

  • Can't re-install download helper

    Video download helper was uninstalled while my computer was being worked on. I re-installed it but now I don't have the download helper icon that you put on the toolbar. It is not on my toolbar nor in the toolbars option folder.
    How can I get the download icon to put on my toolbar so that it will work?
    Thanks,
    Diane

    I think in some other threads it was discovered that some extensions interfere with other extensions adding their icons to the toolbar. If you have other extensions which are not essential and you could live without them for 24 hours, try disabling them here:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Any difference?

  • Getting rid of a "download" icon appearing in Safari browser Flash Player

    Please HELP!! I've inserted two screen shots to demonstrate what I'm trying to get rid of. Some months ago I downloaded the Free Video Downloader for Mac from here:
    http://www.iskysoft.com/free-mac-video-downloader.html
    I'm stuck with a very annoying "Download" icon that POPS UP TOP LEFT when I mouse-hover on any and all Flash Player content on my Safari browser. I'm on Mac OS10.5.8. This is ONLY happening on my Safari browser. Not on Firefox or Chrome. I downloaded a Flash Video downloader for Safari months ago. I've deleted ALL traces of the app. I've been everywhere in my system Library - Application Support - Safari folders - etc, I've looked everywhere. Updating Flash Player makes no difference. Clearing all data in the Flash Player System Preferences interface does not get rid of it. Clearing the entire Safair cache does not get rid of it. Re-installing Safari does not get rid of it. I've tried anything and everything I can think of and I've run out of ideas! Short of wiping my hard drive and re-installing Leopard which I do not want to do, I'm stumped. Every time I hover my mouse over Flash content - I'm STILL stuck with this highly annoying "Download" icon in the top left corner of all Safari Browser Flash content. Can anyone PLEASE help me get rid of it. Many thanks!!  NT

    I am having exactly the same problem. Have trawled the internet for solutions and can't find one yet. Please can there be someone clever enough out there to fix this? It's driving me insane... Any suggestions will be gratefully received.

  • Ever since downloading Firefox 4, whenever I try to open Firefox I get the download Icon and disk and am not allowed to send it to trash as I have down in other downloads.

    I downloaded Firefox 4 a while ago. I followed the instructions and tried to get rid of the Icon on my desktop and the disk. Whenever I try to do so I get a message stating that the disk "Firefox" couldn't be ejected because Firefox is using it and that I have to quit the application and try to eject the disk again. But whenever I try to open Firefox I get the download Icon (the one with the fox and the arrow) and the disk back in my desktop. Can I ever get rid of them?

    Did you drag the the Firefox program from the disk image (DMG) to the application folder on your hard drive ?

  • Can´t download icons for mac for my new MacBook

    I can´t download mac icons to personalize my new macbook, because it says that there´s no default application specified to open the document, ( ex: lithoextrasvol3.mac.sit) Is that because of the windows compatibility? i used to have an ibook g4, and doing this was no a problem...
    does anybody know how i can download icons for my new mac??

    Steve!
    There is a lot more "meat" in this .
    I purchased all out of Denmark. My HD crashed and I reload it all. While doing this I had to install new iTunes, - this is the newest version 10.xx. The old version was probbaly 9.xx (cant remember). So the library files are from an old version, - but it does not look like creating a problem. I am now in Sweden, so iTunes was installed in Sweden, and I try to re-download my missing songs while being here in Sweden. However, - I belive I am connected to iTunes store in Denmark. ... (it takes 2 smileys for this, - if you get as far as to here and still have an overview.)

  • Apps will not complete install/download

    Recently, the little blue progress bar (like for the intial install or update) appeared in the icon for a Chess app that had been downloaded for many months.  But I did not receive an update notice and had not accepted an update for that app.  The progress bar would not go away, and the app could not be accessed.  The bar would remain blank with the word Waiting for some time, then suddenly it would change to Installing and the blue bar would quickly go about half way across the icon, then it would go back to blank and say Waiting again, then after about 2 minutes a screen pop would come up saying the app was unable to download (cancel or retry).  I tried this several times, but it will not download.
    I deleted the app, went to the App Store and tried to re-install/download, but no success.
    Now a Vanguard (Financial) app has done the same thing.
    I powered my IPad 2 off, recycled my intenet connection, and looked for a software update on the IPad but it's up to date at this time.
    I went to the App Store and tried to download a new app, and I specifically chose one that was not free (to check my login/billing), and it will not download the new app either.  I was charged for the app, and received an email from ITunes confirming purchase and billing of the new app, but it has not installed on my machine.
    The odd thing is the Vanguard app was also installed on the wife's IPhone 4 (under a different Apple ID, but her Apple ID is also on the IPad for email purposes), and it doesn't work on her IPhone either (we had to delete it there too).
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Try update using iTune (computer) and sync to iPad.

  • When trying to install downloaded software I am prompted to connect to the internet but I already am connected and the software will not install.

    When trying to install downloaded software I am prompted to connect to the internet but I am already connected. This also occurs when trying to install an Adobe update.

    A cable modem always needs a complete reset whenever you change the device that it is connected to.
    To get your Internet signal restored, it will require at least one major step including the reset of your modem and complete network power cycle.
    If that is not successful, the second major step is to reset the AirPort Extrreme back to factory defaults and then combine the steps above again.
    Try this first:
    Push the reset button on the cable modem (if present) and pull the internal batter (if easily accessible)  then power off the modem
    Power off everything else on your network....all devices....order is not important
    Wait at least 20 minutes...longer will not hurt
    Make sure that the Ethernet cable from the modem is connected to the WAN port (circle of dots or world icon) on the AirPort Extreme
    Re-install the modem battery if it was pulled in the step above
    Power up the modem and let it run for 4-5 minutes by itself
    Power up the AirPort Extreme and let it run for 4-5 minutes
    Power up each other network device one at a time about a minute apart until everything is powered back up
    Check the network for proper operation

  • Help! I can't install new icons!

    Guys/Girls:
    I have Gnome running on my Arch, but I can't find the GUI menu that will let me install the icons I downloaded from Gnome-looks. One guide specifically tells me to open Computer > Desktop Preferences > Themes, but there is NO COMPUTER > desktop preferences in my gnome menu. I can put themes under system > preferences > appearance, but there is no install option for icons. WTF?
    How do I install new icons?

    When the Appearance Preferences window opens, click on the Customize button.  The Customize Theme window has a tab for Icons.

  • Need Acrobat 9 pro install/download files

    Over the years, my group has purchased Acrobat 7 Pro, 8 Pro, and 9 Pro...  I have serial numbers for all of the above listed in my My Adobe/My Products area.  I have disks for both 7 and 8 pro... Unfortunately, when our purchasing agent bought 9 pro, she only bought it as a download. (no disk!!!)
    2 years later, my hardrive crashes, I get a new machine, and now I need to install 9 pro, so I can update to X.
    I can reinstall Acrobat 8, but the sys-admin rules run every night to uninstall it.  The agency bought Acrobat X Pro as an upgrade for those with Acrobat 9 pro, but because I can't find install files to use, can't get there...
    Any suggestions?  I need the install/download files to be able to install Acrobat 9 Pro.  I have a license to use, just need the files.

    To download Acrobat 9 Professional :
    Go to the web page : http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=acrobat_pro&loc=en
    Login with your Adobe ID and Password. Now instead of clicking on the download button copy and paste the following link on the address bar and hit enter : http://trials2.adobe.com/Applications/Acrobat/APRO/9/trials/AcroPro90_efg.exe
    This is the direct download link for Acrobat 9.
    Note : This link would only work from the downloads page of Acrobat 10.
    And as 'Top Gun Ben' replied : you don't need to install apro 9 to upgrade to apro x, just be ready with both serial numbers ( 9 and x ) upon launching x the first time for it will ask for both. In installing the upgrade version x, you just need the x serial, but when launching it the first time it will ask for both the x first and in the next page the qualifying version, which in your case the pro 9.
