Pages Keeps REVERTING my custom document icon!

help! i've modified (via copy and paste in "get info") one of my pages documents so it has a new document icon. then i dragged the document to the dock for easy access. it appears on the dock with its new customized icon. so far so good....
HOWEVER, whenever i click it, pages launches and REVERTS the icon back to the pages default document icon. any idea why this is happening? any idea how to make my customized icon stick?!?
thanks!

as i understand it, this is a fault with copying packages.

  • Home page keeps reverting ...

    In the site I am working on the home page keeps reverting back to an older version when I close and open iweb. I have built this page 3 times now and would really appreciate any help I can get with this. The thumbnail for the domain file shows the new page but it is not there when I open iweb.
    I have even published the new page to a folder and it is fine and works OK - when I close and re open iweb however it is gone and a much older version of that page in its place.
    HELP - what is going on? I would really appreciate any help I can get with this ...

    Try the following:
    1 - close iWeb.
    2 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
    3 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
    4 - reboot.
    5 - launch iWeb and see if there's any improvement.

  • Lion lost my custom document icons

    I have a couple of custom icons for documents of  particular File Types that are gone since I upgraded to Lion. By File Type I mean the old-style Classic kind, as in Type/Creator. The files have no extensions. These documents belong to an old Carbon application that has its own Type codes, one of which is ASQ4, for instance.
    I did a search for files like this, and found that some of the files' icons were generic page-type icons, some were the dark gray executable Unix type, and perhaps half were completely missing- no icon at all.
    Has something changed recently in the way icons are shown or assigned? Can I get the old icons back, or at least restore them from saved files? I've repaired permissions and restarted.

    I just upgraded to OS X 10.7.4, and now my icons are back.

  • Custom document icons

    I've been trying to create custom icons for some Excel documents. I have no problem changing the icon. The problem seems to be that once I change the workbook, resave the document and then restart the computer, it goes back to a generic icon again. Any suggestions?

    Just tried it myself and you are right. Leave to Microsoft to do something weird with their apps. I've change Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign but don't use MS Office very much so never bothered.
    There is no other app that does what CandyBar does that I know of so I'm afraid you are out of luck. Unless someone can tell you how to get into the guts of the Mac and change the icon manually. Or do some googling and see if you can find it. Or write to the CandyBar people and see if they have a workaround.
    The only other option is Iconit:
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/8839
    This is like an icon catalog. It puts an icon up in the top right menu with a drop down menu with all your icons in it. Just select a file, go to Iconit and place what you want. Fastest and easiest way to change an icon, but you'll still have to change it each time you save a document.
    Or, if you have categories of files make folders with the desired icons and save your files to each folder, which won't change with each saving.

  • Home page keeps reverting to MSN despite my resetting it

    The past few times Firefox has closed and restarted (sometimes on its own), the home page comes up as MSN instead of my usual home page. I go into the Tools/General and reset it to my desired homepage and it works for that session, but next time Firefox restarts it reverts back to MSN again. I almost never visit MSN, and haven't recently. I don't recall ever asking for MSN to be my home page, and it hasn't done this until just recently.

    Hi chodgkin,
    You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]]. Your homepage might have been changed by a particular site. Sites like MSN, Yahoo, etc have been know to ask to become your homepage.
    There are steps in that article to reset your homepage preferences to default. I would try that first to clear out any strangeness. If that works, you can try setting your homepage again to your personal preference.
    If that doesn't work you should look at the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved].
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Jzip unistalled but Firefox home page keeps reverting to jzip search.

  • How to add custom file icons on SharePoint 2010 document library?

    Hi there,
    In a document library SharePoint shows the PDF and Word etc icons all fine - however we have a custom file format with a custom icon. Is this possible to add this custom icon for our custom extension? How?
    Thank you so much.

    Hi,
    You could accomplish your requirement by using jQuery with these steps, and this code is using jQuery to modify it on the current page, if you would like to make it work on all library, you need to choose the former method or add this JQuery script on all
    library pages manually:
    Upload a custom icon to file “14\ Template\Images” or your SharePoint document library.
    Add this code below in the document library that you want to extend your custom icon, you could add code by following these: Click edit page in the document library -> add a web part -> choose Content Editor -> click edit source in the Ribbon ->
    add the source below -> click OK.
    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
    var fileObject = $("[title$='docx']");
    for(var i=0; i < fileObject.length; i++){
    //fileObject[i].outerHTML="<img width=\"16\" height=\"16\" title=\"test.docx\" alt=\"test.docx\" src=\"/_layouts/15/images/custom.png\" border=\"0\">"; // upload your custom icon to file ” 14\ Template\Images”, replace your src URL
    fileObject[i].outerHTML="<img width=\"16\" height=\"16\" title=\"test.docx\" alt=\"test.docx\" src=\"/sites/sharepoint2013/Shared%20Documents/custom.png\" border=\"0\">"; // upload your custom icon to SharePoint document library, replace your src URL
    </script>

    To make a new document, go to File > New From Template chooser and choose the type of document you wish to create.
    To add a new page to an existing document go to Insert > Sections > Blank.

  • I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

    I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

    The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
    You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
    You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
    Menu > Format > Import Styles
    The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

  • Some files in "DOCUMENTS" icon in dock won't open. Get msg saying You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." Have Pages 4.1 installed.  Same files will open ok from Finder, Pages App. Recently sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) after iOS5 installed.

    Some files in "DOCUMENTS" icon in dock won't open. Get msg saying "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." Already have Pages 4.1 installed.  Same files will open ok from Finder/Pages App./selected file. Prob not noted until recently after sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) when I installed iOS5. Anyone-- please?!

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Hi, bamboo64. 
    Try closing all open applications in multitasking and power cycling the device.  Once this is done test the results.  If the issue persists, I have included a couple troubleshooting articles that I would recommend going through. 
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
    Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.

    Did you respond to the verification email from Apple by clicking the Verify Now link?  If not, check the email address you used to set up your iCloud account.  Check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.  If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.
