[SOLVED]Incorrect thunar folder icons

Hello I've been using the Area Blue icon theme for a few days but after a reboot yesterday the folder icons are GNOME icons. All the other icons are unaffected. I've tried deleting and re-downloading the icons but the folder icons just won't work. Any ideas?
Edit:
this is only happening in thunar all other programs and unaffected. PCmanFM works too

No I was saying that since I was setting up everything(themes, compositing, etc..) today I may have changed something that after the reboot caused the icons to "disappear".
Also it is only in thunar that the folder icons are missing.
I've tried searching around but I haven't seen anything so far, but I may have missed somthing
"Having the icon pack in /usr/share/icons (not "/usr/share/themes") makes it available system-wide, for other users as well."
Thank you that's what I meant.

[SOLVED] Thunar folder icon image preview?

Is it possible to get Thunar to show previews of the images inside of a folder on the folder thumbnail icon? I have been trying to determine this on and off for a few months now, but I can't find anything.
I would like this to happen automatically, not requiring a folder.jpg or otherwise manually selecting an image inside of the folder. Any idea if this is possible?

Thunar is a file manager for a minimalist DE - I wouldn't expect it to have all the bells and whistles...
That makes sense, I assumed it would take some sort of additional program to do it, I will check out some other file managers. I currently use Worker and Thunar, with Thunar only being used when browsing for media files. I should probably get something more full featured for that. I'll mark this as resolved, thanks!

Folder Icon, Tried Apple Solutions to no avail

I've got the folder icon with an exclamation point problem on my 40G click-wheel iPod. It lies dormant until I press a button, then it shows the apple icon for a bit then gives me the folder icon w/ !. A few seconds later, the iPod turns off. The whole time it is on I can hear the hard drive revving up and then back down.
I checked the support page from apple for this problem and they recommended letting it charge, which I did for a long time, same issue. I can confirm that the battery is charged by forcing the Pod into disk mode, where I can see the fully charged battery icon.
The apple support page also recommends restoring the iPod and reformatting the iPod. I can do neither of these, even if I force it into disk mode. Once it is in disk mode, I plug it into my computer and the Do Not Disconnect logo appears for a bit (10-20 seconds) as windows sorts things out. Finally, the iPod appears in My Computer very briefly, and the iPod turns off for a second then reappears with the apple logo thus removing it from My Computer. I've loaded it up in a similar fashion after having opened the iPod Updater program, and I get the same problem, except with a "Can't Mount iPod" error. The same thing occurs with both firewire and USB2, in more than one port of each. I also saw to try disabling USB2 in device manager and try to restore/format through USB1.1, but this fails in the same way, computer sees the iPod for a second, then it turns off.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Jon
P.S. I've been scouring the forums lately looking for a solution to this problem, and it appears to be a stressful time for all of you who are trying to help us out. This combined with the fact that some people are giving some mean replies to these helpful souls has to be rather irritating. But please take solace in the fact that there are plenty of people out there who are extremely grateful (myself included) for all the problems in the past and future that you have and will solve. Keep up the good work.

Welcome to Apple Discussions, Patsy.
In the future please post your own thread even if you appear to be having an identical problem -- it isn't an issue here (since the original poster is sending his off for repair) but in other cases it may make it impossible for us to help you or them which is why it is against the forum rules.
Here's Otto's advice:
Key to solving all ! folder icon problems: Forced Disk Mode.
3G iPods: Hold RW and FF down as it boots up the Apple Logo. It should go directly to the screen with a big checkmark that says "OK to disconnect". Connecting it now should work.
4G iPods: Same thing, except hold down Play and Select while it boots.
Forced Disk Mode basically bypasses all the iPod software and puts it right into disk mode to talk to the PC. If you can't get it to connect to the PC in this mode, then either the iPod needs replacement, or the PC is badly broken.
To get out of Forced Disk Mode, first eject or otherwise disconnect the iPod from the PC. It needs to be showing the checkmark again.
3G: Hold Menu and Play for like 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
4G: Hold Menu and Select for like 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Fixing 100% of all fixable iPod problems can be done as follows:
1. Forced Disk Mode.
2. On the PC, kill the iPodService.exe, iTunes.exe, and iTunesHelper.exe.
3. Connect the iPod. Wait for it to show up as a drive letter.
4. Format the iPod Drive as a FAT32 drive using the normal formatting methods. Do NOT do a quick format.
5. Start up the iPod Software Updater program. Restore the iPod.
6. When the iPod goes back to the check mark screen, reset the iPod manually.

Thunar and folder icons

I would like to folder icons look like the screenshot of the Faenza-Cupertino for this: http://gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/129008-1.png
Can I achieve this in thunar? How to assign icons for Dropbox, Folder bookmarks, Folder recent, Folder search, and other which is not here, and icons are Faenza-Cupertino.
Run xdg-user-dirs-update and configure the .config/user-dirs.dirs file did not help. How can this be done?

Unfortunately, Xfce doesn't support different icons for different folders. The only exceptions are your home folder and desktop folder, as these are the only ones required by Xfce.
As an alternative, you can set emblem icon overlays through the folder's properties dialog.
You can add/change/remove emblem icons in the emblem folder of your chosen icon theme.
Cheers.

AwOken icons
Hello,
I am currently using the AwOken icon set, which I downloaded on deviantart.com.
So... I'd like the typical folders
Pictures
Videos
Music
Documents
etc.
to use the corresponding icons from, well, acutally any icon set I am using. But when I right-click on any folder, I can't change the Icon (second tab). Am I doing it wrong or is that a bug?
edit
So I tested it with a lot of other default XFCE themes and themes from the AUR (Greybird, Albatross and so forth). I can't change any icon. That's too bad, I have no clue whatsoever what the problem is, I was hoping I could change the bookmarks' icons in Thunar's sidebar as well.

[SOLVED] Unique Folder Icons

I've searched google and the forums, and I can't seem to find a way to set folder icons.

Bridge CS3 Version Cue Folder ICONS Incorrect (Windows 7)

Hello,
After updating to Windows 7 Premium 64-bit, the folder icons that appear in Bridge CS3 when browsing a Version Cue Server appear as little hard-drives with a windows icon. (We use Bridge CS3 to avoid using the notorious "Adobe Drive CS4".)
We could live with these new icons and pretend that they're folders, but does anyone know of a hack or the registry location to flip these icons back to a folder icon?
Thanks,
JP

Hi Curt,
I just tried it and it didn't work. My issue isn't with the Adobe icons or thumbnails of the actual files, just with the icons that are shown for the sub-folders.
thanks,
JP

Sometimes when starting my iMac it shows a folder icon with a Question mark in it. Mac does not start up, only when shutting down and restart again solves it

Sometimes when starting up my iMac it shows only a folder icon with a question mark in it. Nothing happened. Only when start up again it runs ok.
What can be the cause of this.
thanks for your help
Hans

That's an indication your Mac can't find a system folder to boot from.
Open System Preferences > Startup Disk
Select: MacintoshHD OS X
For OS X v10.4, v10.5, and v10.6 > A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
Helps when you ask for help to tell us which Mac OS X is installed.
If you aren't certain, click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.
The version is noted there.

[SOLVED]Gnome icon themes - folder icons

I think it belongs here.
I made some folder icons for retrofukation icons theme and tried to apply them as documents, music etc. folder icons, but did not succeed. Then I thought the theme was written wrong, and tried to apply 100% working (in that u-distro) Humanity theme, but with the same effect.
Then I updated the system, but nothing happened.
Then I googled for a while, but found nothing worth reading - maybe because of bad search query...
Anyway, does anyone know how to make 'places' icons work?
//I run a standalone wm and use lxappearance. When I downloaded and tried gnome-control-center, it did not help as well.

Yes, that works just fine, thank you! xdg-user-dirs was not installed, because I did not install the whole gnome. I installed it and updated the directories (xdg-user-dirs-update) and now the icons look just like I want.
But I have a couple of folders (like ~/Distros or ~/Source) for which I would like to set custom icons too.
So I have ~/.icons/retrofukation/scaled/places/folder-source.png and ~/Source directory. Any chance to set an icon for it?

IPod with folder icon, won't reset

I bought my third iPod at the end of summer, an iPod photo 60 GB. It has worked perfect until 2 days ago, when it suddenly froze. I rebooted it, but the display showed a sad iPod. Checked the support files and tried to put it into Disk mode, but it didn't work, so I just left it in the charger overnight, which, surprisingly enough, managed to solve the problem for a while. When I woke up, the iPod was OK.
So I took it out for another day of adventures. At first it skipped all of the songs from an album that I had recently transferred to my iPod, but it played older songs. But after maybe 20 minutes, it froze again. Another reboot and another sad iPod icon. This time, however, I managed to put it into Disk Mode, and restored it to factory settings. It didn't restart itself after the restoration (waited for an hour or so), so I manually removed it from my desktop and unplugged it. On the screen there is a folder icon with an exclamation point. Replugged it, and it appears on my desktop and in iTunes, and starts filling up with songs. When it's finally done I remove the iPod from my computer. Once again I see the folder icon.
Each time I connect the iPod to my iBook it's on my desktop and in iTunes. The software can't be out-of-date because there hasn't been an update since I bought it.
Restoring it to factory settings shouldn't have harmed the iPod - or should it?
It's charged, it's filled with music, at least according to iTunes. It's just that STUPID folder icon that I can't get my head around. Why is it there and what can I do to get rid of it?

Well, here are the two pages that might be useful to you:
iPod does not appear in iTunes or on the desktop, an exclamation point or sad iPod icon appears onscreen
iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation point when you turn it on
Those give some possible ways to deal with the Sad iPod/Folder problems. The first step in the Sad iPod steps involved putting it in disk mode:
Putting iPod into Disk Mode
If you can get it into disk mode, you may be able to get your music off. I hope so. But I also hope that if you do, you make sure to have a backup of all your music; since Apple only allows one download, it should be protected as any other investment would be.

Lion OS Folder Icons and Settings Change

My new 8 core Mac Pro with Lion arrived August 29 to replace an older Mac Pro with Snow Leopard. FYI - Just before the new Mac Pro arrived, I checked and repaired any permissions issues via the Disk Utility. Once the new Mac arrived, it took four days to finally get things moved over from the main hard drive because of various problems. I held up the transfer from the other 3 drives and am glad that I did. After a bad optical drive was replaced, constant Finder problems have been occurring which appear to revolve around permission conflicts. In essence, the Mac OS on my Mac Pro appears to be schizophrenic and apparently, it is in need of a frontal lobotomy. In reviewing posts in this forum, I was surprised to learn that users have been reporting similiar issues ever since Lion was released. I was given the impression that my complaint about it was the first for the techs who have attempted to resolve the problem.
I do a large amount of photography using the HDR technique so it is important to arrange image icons in specific groupings and order within folders. We have all gotten used to having icons in the same place or configuration in folders each time we open them. This not only gives us a feeling of consistency but is a critical time save when dealing with images and other graphic files. Unfortunately, because of some overlooked programming issue, the Mac OS Lion is confused as to what permissions it should pay attention do. While working, icon arrangements are constantly changing causing many hours of additional work without let-up. There is also an issue that happens I would call Blinking for no better of a word to use. In certain folders, icons will dissappear then quickly show again. This can happen about every 10 - 14 seconds sometimes.
I have also noticed related problems with new software upgrades. They work fine at first, then all of a sudden, they do not. Simple slideshows exported to video using Lightroom now appear completely black. In Dreamweaver CS 5.5, I can connect to the ftp server but am not allowed to upload. I am stuck in limbo, not being able to migrate all my work over from the older computer because all folder icon layouts will be destroyed if I start working in them. It has also created licensing issues because now softwares are on two Mac Pros and a laptop. The latest tech support request is to either erase my new startup disk and installing softwares one at a time, or consider installing the more stable Snow Leopard. Has anyone figured out an answer? I have never had such a bad experience with an Apple product in over 20 years. I would highly recommend to professional graphic artists, photographers, or other visual professionals that rely on the consistency of icon views in folders to stay away from Mac OS Lion until the problems have been resolved. Hopefully Apple intends to correct this. It has already taken several months.

What finally worked for me!
My internal Mac hard drive is my “filing cabinet” with all folders installed by Lion (Applications, Users, System, and Library) plus my personal folders and data in each visible when I click on and open the harddrive. My internal Mac hard drive icon is on my desktop. After a restart the file and folder icons inside most of the first level of my personal folders would shrink and rearrange themselves.
After an hour on the phone with Apple Tech Support andt rying a variety of approaches, we finally solved the problem of the shrinking and rearranged icons. (Thank you Manny!!!) This is what finally worked for me and my new MacbookPro 15-inch delivered with Lion already installed.
BTW I use a mouse….
Right clicked on the internal hard drive icon on my desktop. (Note: “Out of the box “ when you startup with Lion the first time the Mac Hard Drive probably will not be visible on the desktop and you have to reveal it!)
In the dialogue box that opened I selected and clicked on “Get Info.”
A long window opened. We looked at Sharing & Permissions at the very bottom of the window. In the “You have custom access” window my log in name was not there. This was the culprit!!! But the box was grayed out.
At the lower right hand corner of the long window I clicked on the padlock to open it.
A dialogue box opened with my user name and asked for my Password. I entered my Password and clicked “OK.”
The grayed out area of the Sharing & Permissions box immediately darkened.
I clicked on the plus sign at the bottom left hand corner of the long window.
A window opened at the top of the long box. I highlighted my name on the right hand side and then clicked on the “Select” button. My name then appeared in the Sharing & Permissions box at the bottom of the long window.
To the right of my name un "Privelege" I made sure that “Read & Write” was turned on (use the little arrows.)
Back to the lower left hand corner and clicked on the gear and when the box opened I clicked on “Apply to enclosed items.”
Back at the lower right hand corner of long window, clicked on the open padlock to close it and lock the settings.
In each folder using “Show View Options”dialogue window I resized all the shrunken icons, set the Arrange to by “Name,” anything else I wanted, clicked on “Use as defaults” closed the window and moved on. When I rebooted everything had stabilized!

Is there anyone there? I hope there is someone who can you understand this problem and have the common sense to respond?
I open gmail. I want to save an email to one of my folders.
I position my cursor over the appropriate Folder icon or by choice, to the Trash.
The friendly finger pointing cursor icon changes to an arrow icon.
The hand icon allows me flawless access to opening and/or moving emails.
The arrow, however does not open the link.
On the Google menu bar the cursor hand with finger opens the links to Everett (my name), Search, Images, Maps and Play.
When I attempt to open the remaining links in the menu bar (YouTube, News, Gmail, Drive, Calendar and More) the arrow icon replaces the hand. The arrow icon does not work. It will not activate these links. Nor does it open email messages in the Inbox.
Usually I reset, even reboot Safire and sometimes the problem goes away, then reappears.
Can you imagine if this condition should it happen to a tech savvy Google Support person? Perhaps one can share and make my problem go away.
I am considering dropping Google as my mail source. Unfortunate!

Help! folder icon w/ exclamation point - hard drive problem?

I live in the philippines and the store which i called up said the only solution is to show the receipt and they will send it to singapore but i still have to buy a new one. it's like they're not giving me choices at all. i know my iPod is not yet "dead", why do i have to buy a new one? how can i have this repaired?! it hasn't been a year yet, but around 10 months already and i don't have the receipt anymore.
here's what happened...
for the past week my iPod has been skipping songs, going to the next ones but doesn't play at all. sometimes it even freezes. and i hear this whirring sound at the back.
so i decided to connect it to the computer and erase all my songs first coz i thought maybe the problem was with the files. but iTunes didn't recognize the device. so i decided to reset it (so that the songs and my factory settings will be erased) by pressing menu and select at the same time. then after i did this the "do not disconnect" message kept on showing up and eventually it just stayed there. so i tried resetting again. the apple logo shows up but after a while the folder icon with exclamation point shows up. then it would turn off.
I tried restoring it with updater but it says it could not mount the ipod. so this might be a hard drive problem already. how can i solve this?
please help!

Try calling their toll free number <probably charges apply when you're calling outside the US>, 1-800-827-0685.
Usually, they will send your machine to the nearest repair station. I think in SEAsia, repair stations are in Malaysia.
Your iPod comes with a universal warranty, so you could definitely have that repaired even without the receipt. <Im from the Philippines too. I what you mean...>
good luck!=D

Folder icon with exclamation point...and updater problems

So here's what has happened to me today:
I plugged my iPod into my computer(this is a computer WITHOUT iPod installed yet) to charge. In the meantime, I downloaded the latest iPod updater and iTunes. The first time I used the updater, it told me that there was an iPod service error. I followed some instructions on the apple support site..and The next time I tried, it told me that one or more applications were using the iPod. I knew this wasn't the case, because the only application open was the updater, and no antivirus software was currently running. So I took my iPod back to my laptop computer(DOES have iPod installed) and it also told me that one or more applications were using the iPod, even though there were no applications open.
So now I have a little folder with an exclamation point that tells me to go to the apple support site, which I have been to numerous times...I can put my iPod into disk mode which really doesn't help anyways...

Then
If a sad iPod icon or an exclamation point and folder icon appears on your iPod’s screen, or with sounds of clicking or HD whirring, it is usually the sign of a hard drive problem and you have the power to do something about it now. Your silver bullet of resolving your iPod issue – is to restore your iPod to factory settings.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
If you're having trouble, try these steps at different levels one at a time until the issue is resolved. These steps will often whip your iPod back into shape.
Make sure you do all the following “TRYs”
A. Try to wait 30 minutes while iPod is charging.
B. Try another FireWire or USB through Dock Connector cable.
C. Try another FireWire or USB port on your computer .
D. Try to disconnect all devices from your computer's FireWire and USB ports.
E. Try to download and install the latest version of iPod software and iTunes
http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
F. Try these five steps (known as the five Rs) and it would conquer most iPod issues.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
G. Try to put the iPod into Disk Mode if it fails to appear on the desktop
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
If none of these steps address the issue, you may need to go to Intermediate level listed below in logical order. Check from the top of the lists to see if that is what keeping iPod from appearing on your computer in order for doing the Restore.
Intermediate Level
A. Try to connect your iPod with another computer with the iPod updater pre-installed.
B. Still can’t see your iPod, put it in Disk Mode and connect with a computer, instead of doing a Restore on iPod Updater. Go and format the iPod instead.
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
For Window computer
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“Partition Magic”.
C. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iPod updater.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

Advance Level
A. Diagnostic mode solution
If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.
B. Format your iPod with a start disk
I have not tried this solution myself, I heard that there were few successful cases that the users managed to get their iPod (you must put your iPod in disk mode before connecting with a computer) mounted by the computer, which was booted by a system startup disk. For Mac, you can use the Disk Utility (on the Tiger OS system disk), for PC user, you can use the window OS system disk. Try to find a way to reformat your iPod, again it does not matter which format (FAT32, NTFS or HFS+) you choose, the key is to erase the corrupted system files on the iPod. Then eject your iPod and do a Reset to switch out from Disk Mode. Reboot your computer at the normal way, connect your iPod back with it, open the iPod updater, and hopefully your iPod will appear there for the Restore.
If none of these steps address the issue, your iPod may need to be repaired.
Consider setting up a mail-in repair for your iPod http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
Or visit your local Apple Retail Store http://www.apple.com/retail/
In case your iPod is no longer covered by the warranty and you want to find a second repairing company, you can try iPodResQ at your own risk
http://www.ipodresq.com/index.php
Just in case that you are at the following situation
Your iPod warranty is expired
You don’t want to pay any service charges
You are prepared to buy a new one
You can’t accept the re-sell value of your broken iPod
Rather than leave your iPod as paper-weight or throw it away.
You can try the following, but again, only do it as your last resort and at your own risk.
Warning !!!! – It may or may not manage to solve your problem, and with a risk that you may further damage your iPod, which end up as an expensive paper weight or you need to pay more higher repairing cost. Therefore, please re-consider again whether you want to try the next level
Last Resort Level
1. . Disconnecting the Hard Drive and battery inside the iPod – Warning !! Your iPod warranty will be waived once you open the iPod.
In Hong Kong there are some electronic shops offering an iPod service for Sad iPod, the first thing they do is to open up the iPod’s case and disconnecting the battery and the Hard Drive from the main board of the iPod. Wait for 5-10 minutes and reconnecting them back. The reason behind which I can think of is to do a fully reset of a processor of the iPod. In case you want do it itself and you believe that you are good on fixing the electronics devices and have experience to deal with small bits of electronic parts, then you can read the following of how to open the iPod case for battery and HDD replacement (with Quicktimes)
http://eshop.macsales.com/tech_center/index.cfm?page=Video/directory.html
2.Press the reset button on the Hard Drive inside the iPod – Suggestion from Kill8joy
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2438774#2438774
Have I tried these myself? No, I am afraid to do it myself as I am squeamish about tinkering inside electronic devices, I have few experiences that either I broke the parts (which are normally tiny or fragile) or failed to put the parts back to the main case. Therefore, I agree with suggestion to have it fixed by a Pro.

I am not suggesting that you should follow as well, but just read them as your reference. You are the person to make the call.
