Making the icon shape match the image

So I have an image I want to use as an icon for a folder. I basically want the icon to appear just as the shape of the image, with the background coming through the surrounding, i.e. the W in the Word icon. Currently when I paste the image to the folder as an icon image, it is surrounded by a white box (the background).
I've through several searches, have made the background transparent in Photoshop, exported as a png, have reopened in Preview and have had no background showing. Unfortunately when I attach it to the folder it is still bound with a white box when displayed as the icon, SL puts the white background back in.
Any help, or links to examples I can use to fix this?

Mac OS X (10.6.4)
Use Software Update or the OS 10.6.8 combo update to update your OS. Also, update everything SU has to offer for your computer. When done, repair permissions and restart your computer.
After doing the above:
Highlight the icon........
Hold down the Option Key......
Go to File>Get Info......
In the existing window, click the existing icon, and then choose Edit>Copy
Next, click the icon to which you want to transfer the copied icon. Its icon now appears in the Info dialog box that’s still open on the screen.
Click the icon in the dialog box, and this time choose Edit>Paste. Viola!!!!! You now have a new icon.
Or you can download this easy to use simple shareware program called CandyBar. This easy to use piece of software is also less time consuming. And is now FREE!!!!!!

Even though new photo image shows up in the icon box in the lower corner of the camera screen, the photo did not save to any albums or places on iPhone 5s with ios8.02 update. Happened three times now so I know it is not operator error!

where did my photo go? Three times now I have taken a photo, and can see the image in the little icon box on the camera screen. I click on the icon to use the photo to share, but the photo is nowhere to be found. Sometimes the image is retrievable but three times today alone, no image came up in camera roll, even though image is in the little icon. What is happening?

Hello again... I have the 5S with current capacity of 56 GB and available space of 28GB. (I have several big big rule books and pdf files for work on the phone). There are currently a total of 1627 photos (yes, I know that's a lot...but there used to be even MORE, and I had no problems before ios 8.02) on the phone, and I have done routine purges and deletes and backups to my PC and the Cloud.
When I did the first update to ios 8.0, of course, I found out quickly that photostream and camera roll disappeared, but I was smart enough to figure out that the upgrade created the folder "recently added" and I was able to reinstall the Cloud on my PC and my photos are streaming nicely to the PC and my Ipads (two of them) when I get home to wifi.
Then I did the ios 8.02 upgrade last week. Used my phone to take photos this past weekend while away on a trip, and darn, one of the photos that I really needed, disappeared. I thought perhaps that the problem was "operator error" by the person who took the photo of me. But then last night, I was taking some photos and lo and behold, the same thing happened to me...twice...... the photo image was in the little "icon" box, and I wanted to "share it". So, I touch the icon of the photo, but the photo did not appear in the "recently added" bunch of photos. The previous photo was there. I took another photo, and it appeared normally in the "recently added". <shrug>. Took a few more photos, and once more... the icon showed the image, but no image was in the "recently added" folder.
That's all that I know as of now...... today... no problems. all photos (took about 20) all appeared in "recently added" as they should.

Make sure that Firefox gets installed properly.
Open the DMG file and drag to Firefox program to the application folder on your hard drive.
You shouldn't double-click the Firefox application to run it from the disk image, but drag it out of the DMG folder instead.

How to display the iconic buttons on the toolbar in oracle 10g forms

hi experts.
i have done all the settings to display the iconic tool bar in the web. the settings i have done are like this.
Initially i have created a .jar file with name my_icons.jar and pasted in /forms/java folder.
1) modified the I:\DevSuiteHome_1\j2ee\DevSuite\application-deployments\forms\formsweb\orion-web.xml file by adding
<virtual-directory virtual-path="/icons" real-path="I:\aptd\icons" />.
2) Modified the forms.conf file by adding the line
AliasMatch ^/forms/icons/(..*) "I:\aptd\icons/$1"
3) Modified the formsweb.config file by
archive_jini=archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar, my_icons.jar
4) Registry.dat
default.icons.iconpath=icons/
default.icons.iconextension=gif
i did not get the output.
when i run the form through the browser, i could see throught the bottom of the browser that it is taking
http://host:port/forms/java/icons/*.gif
* for diffenent icons name.
but when i run the http://host:port/forms/java/my_icons.jar i could download it.
please suggest the best solution. Its Urgent.

thanks a lot sarah. I got it.
but sarah i woild like to know that my real path of the icons is in other drive. but pasting the icons in the oracle/forms/icons will work.
why can't the icons take from the the other drive. And also i have created a jar file. Then why can't it take from the jar file without pasting them in the above mentioned folder.
thanks once agaiin for all.

Is there a way to increase the icon size (and the text below) without using zoom? I am trying to help out someone who has moderate visual impairment that does not want to use zoom just to see the icons and their labels.

Is there a way to increase the icon size (and the text below) without using zoom in iOS 7? I am trying to help out someone who has moderate visual impairment that does not want to use zoom just to see the icons and their labels.

Hello Apple.
It seems you have gone to great lengths to improve accessibility in many areas of the iPad. Why was this obvious problem with icon text size missed? (It's not with the Mac.). And for so long too.
Do you employ people with actual accessibility problems to help you do UI design?
I think too, that some buttons are too close for people who might have motor control problems.
I love my iPad but I fear as I age, the iPad might not keep up with me.

After yesterday upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite I can no longer find in Mail the icon (looks like the Add To Contacts icon without the + mark) I used to press in order to obtain an e-mail address from my contact list.

Delete the shortcut and make a new one. The 'real' application will probably be fine if you launch it from the Start/Programs menu.

Which Icons are these? Are you talking about the thumbnails? If so then you need to do this:
View >> Media Types
Now look for something like in this picture (click on on it to get a bigger picture) make sure there are ticks next to all of them except the Video unless you want videos to show up as well.
Good luck and post back if this did not solve the problem.

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Sorry for bashing on about this. Just called Apple at 1.800.694.7466 and they told me the issue isn't with Mavericks per se but with iTunes 11.1.5.
According the helpful woman I spoke to, no one at Apple knows why Apple decided to remove the ability to sync everything via USB. She hears complaints about the change and knows it makes life difficult for folks.
She also recommended, as you did, to contact www.apple.com/feedback about the change. She says Apple does in fact have a group of people who do read the comments.
Whenever we talk about iTunes, it's assumed we are referring to the most current version, unless otherwise specified.

Hi,
I have a excel file that I have been using since beginning of year.
Yesterday, I tried to open it but a message comes out "
Excel cannot open the file beacuse the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file"
After I click yes, the page is blank. The file is about 400kb in size.
I have try open and repair and third party repair program and not working also.
I would appreciate a lot if you can help me.
Thank you very much.

Per your post, this problem might be caused by malware on the affected machine.

In order to clean your machine, run Microsoft Safety Scanner (http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx) to kill the malware, and then repair Excel file itself.
If this is not the case, feel free to post back and let me know. Thanks.
