  • Adobe reader 11 takes over application folder icon in Mac OSX 10.8.2

    After installation of the adobe reader 11 on Apple Mac OSX 10.8.2 the reader icon replaces the standard Apple application folder icon. It is very annoying. The reader works more or less ok.
    I see in the adobe reader forum search that similar errors happen in windows 7 for years now and this behavior on Mac follows the pattern of lack of basic testing of the application before releasing it to the public.

    Disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.

  • Application folder icon

    The Application folder icon used to be the default one.  But after I installed Adobe Reader, the Adobe icon appears on top of the default in the dock.  When I open the App folder and check Get Info, the icon shown there is the default one.  How do I remove the Adobe icon from appearing on top of the default Application icon?  Thanks.

    Control-click its Dock icon and change the options as desired.

  • Application folder icon in the Dock has a thick red bar

    The application folder icon in the Dock has a thick red bar across the top back. What does this mean? Assuming red is a negative indicator, how do I fix the issue?
    Thank you.

    Problem solved.
    It was the top of a red icon in the folder (Adobe of course). Found this out by arranging by kind rather then name.
    Feeling kind of red (faced) myself at this point.

  • Application Folder Icon reverts to original Icon after Restart/Logout...

    My custom icon for the applications folder in the Finder window sidebar reverts back to the original icon (pencil, ruler, paintbrush) after I restart/logout. In the "Get Info" pane of the applcation folder it shows the custom icon, but the icon in the sidebar displays the original! I have changed all my other icons in the sidebar and they have retained their custom icons, but Applications is the only one being stubborn.
    I have searched the forums, and found an article where it says to log in as root user and then change it, but i did that and the icon still went bact to the original.
    If anyone knows how to change it for good please help me.
    Thanks.

    The icns file you want is here:
    "/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/ToolbarAppsFol derIcon.icns"
    You'll need to do a Show Package Contents on CoreTypes.bundle to get there. Drag the icns file to your desktop--it will copy rather than move. You'll discover that it is much smaller than normal icons: only 32x32 pixels.
    You'll need a program to allow you to create icns files. Iconographer is nice. I believe it has a free trial period.
    Create your own icns icon and save it with the same name as the original.
    Next you need to use Terminal. You'll rename the original with a mv command, then do a sudo copy of your version into the above Resources folder.
    Still want to try?

  • Application Folder Icon Arrangement

    After updating to 10.4.10, my arrangement of my icons in the application folder always jumbles after a restart. I have renamed the finder preferences file, created a new finder preference file...still experiencing the "jumbled" look after restarting.
    This is a nusance because I have to rearrange the icons in the folder after each restart.
    Anyone else experience this? Any recommendations to fix this small issue?

    Thanks for the quick reply Kappy. Unfortunately the icon arrangement did not keep. I rebooted and the icons were out of tilt again. I immediately check the settings in the view options..."snap to grid" was still selected...
    At least I can say that I can replicate the problem...the culprit icons always seem to be Popcorn, Turbo Tax Premier 2005 Folder...they always end up on top with an additional blank space.

  • Applications folder icon changes after restart

    I changed the icon of my applications-folder.
    after every restart the original icon (pen, ruler,...) comes back again.
    how can this problem be solved?
    any ideas?
    thank you
    frank

    Log in as root. Change the icon. Log out and log back into your "normal" account.

  • Applications Folder Icon position

    I have 10.5.6 and just recently, every time I open my applications window the folders are arranged alphabetically. I move them so that they are in the order I want, then next time I start up they are back to alphabetically listing--anyone know how to lock them in place? Checked View but can't find anything there.

    If you are in List View, Column View, or Quick Look View, the folders will be alphabetized. In the Icon View, I selected “None” from the View Options window, moved around the folders, restarted, clicked on the icon view button (I have the default set to open in Column View) and the folders were still there in the out of order places where I had put them.
    If yours doesn’t work that way, perhaps if you tried moving the com.apple.finder.plist file from the Macintosh HD/Users/Library/Preferences folder to the Desktop and restarted it would help.
    If it doesn’t help, you can put the .plist file back in its Preferences folder to replace the newly created .plist file and restore your Finder preferences.

  • Application folder Icons

    I have moved certain apps into a folder and called it Tools. Is there a way to change the icon, as the default icon is real poor to say the least. I would like ones that are relating to what is in them.

    No, the icon for a folder is automatically generated and cannot be changed. It shows the apps contained within the folder.

  • Don't like the Photoshop application/folder icons - don't match new Dark UI

    Old
    New
    Weird book look
    I don't get the HUGE stroke

    You can permanently show all menu items and you can always have Windows float like they used to.
    Its just a question of exploring the settings.
    Having said that, a lot of the UI "improvements" are very unpopular and it would have been nice (but apparently technically impossible) to have the possibility to revert to the old interface.

  • Mac icons not showing in dock application folder

  • Try to update firefox--ownloads but ff icon does not appear, nor applications folder.

    Try to download firefox update.
    It downloads on my desktop with an icon that looks like my hard drive icon. No round ff icon, and application folder icon does not appear. What does this mean? What next? Mac OS 10.6.8

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    * Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • Applications Folder In Home Folder?

    On both of the Macs I use, my iMac and MBP, there is an applications folder with in my home folder. It is completely empty and has a size of Zero KB. It has the same Applications folder icon you see with the one located in "Macintosh HD". Is this a normal thing every user experiences or is normal? I noticed this in 10.6.5, so I don't think it was updating to 10.6.6 that put it there.

    Some application installers give you the option of whether to install the application for system wide use or just for a particular user. Also it gives you the option for you to drag an Application from a disk image to your user folder so only you have access to the application.

  • How To Copy User Folder/Application Folder To Fresh Drive

    I have a friend's iMac G5 whose hard drive went south. Fortunately I was able to copy its contents onto an external firewire drive before it totally lost its data. I installed a new hard drive in the iMac and put on a fresh copy of Leopard and iLife '80 - using my friend's same name for the user folder. Migration Assistant won't see the folder as it is on a connected but not bootable drive. So I need to manually drag over her data but I am concerned about just how to do this in a way that won't put me (and her) in "permissions agony." What's the best way to do this? Her system was running Tiger 10.4.11.
    Plus the same is the case for her old applications folder. How can I get all that including the files that go into various libraries. Migration assistant would be so wonderful as it handles all that stuff...any help with this part also?
    Thanks in advance.

    I was able to have a fairly successful conclusion to my dilemma. I had copied her information using Retrospect's Duplicate function and all her data was copied onto a firewire drive. This was done as her drive was going south before it totally deteriorated. I made a new administrative user with a slightly different user name (adding a 1 to her name) and copied all the user folder data over. Then I deleted the original user (and the 1 on her new user name) and was left with all her stuff in good shape with no permission problems that couldn't be taken care of with Disk Utility. Of course the Applications folder was one I didn't bother with because of how so many applications install things all over the place, preferences, application support folders, etc.; but, after a reinstall of most of her applications, things to seem to be working quite well. A few of her applications that I had no install for, I copied over successfully from her old application folder itself. Not bad.
    I bought a Time Capsule for her use and am backing up that way for her...as well doing a Super Duper incremental back also onto the Time Capsule.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Yosemite Applications folder inaccessible

    Hi,
    Following a recent upgrade to Yosemite on my Mac mini the Applications folder icon is greyed out and disabled. The only way to open the folder is to use Go/Go To Folder... in the menu bar. Has anybody else got this problem?
    Cheers,
    Fatty

    Hi Linc,
    Here are the screenshots: one of the Finder window and one of the Info for the Applications folder. The sidebar iApplication items are /Applications for the top one and ~/Applications for the second one. Clicking on the top one has no effect whilst clicking on the second one take me to the correct place.
    The folder preview is different from the actual icon and the permissions and sharing items look a little strange.
    The permissions for the folder using terminal are:
    d---rwxr-x@ 68 root  admin  2312 10 Apr 17:55 Applications
    which again look odd. Disk utility repair permissions did not come up with anything.
    Thanks for looking into this.
    Cheers,
    Fatty
