Strange icon for Dock into Preferences

Hi,
I just have noticed that I have a very strange icon into the System Preferences for the Dock preferences.
Is there a way to restore the correct one ?
Thx,

Strange icon for homemade dvd folder

I recorded a DVD using a VHS/DVD recorder by dumping a super 8 video camera to the recorder by way of AVI cables. After the DVD was finished I finalized the disk. When I placed the disk into my computer I am able to play it by using DVD Player. However, when the disk shows up on my desktop, instead of the normal icon of a DVD showing up, it displays a folder with a small red circle in the lower right corner with a white minus sign in the center of it. When I click on the folder there is nothing inside. Like I said before, the video plays in DVD Player. Can someone tell me what is going on? I would like to rip the disk with Mac the Ripper but there are no files within the folder. Thanks.

Have you run Skype yet? I believe this happens with newly downloaded applications as a warning. Use Skype as usual. This funny icon will go away eventually. Have a look at the skype application in a Finder window (not via stacks in the dock) and it should have the correct icon.

App.icon for dock

How can I create an applications icon to keep in my dock; right now I have to go to my finders icon in the dock to access the application folder. It would be easier to access it directly from the dock.
thanks.

To put the Applications folder on the Dock, just drag it onto the Dock on the right side of the line, near the trash can. (Or below the line, if you're using the Dock on the left or right side.) To put a specific application on the Dock, drag it to the other side of the line.
Note that putting things on the Dock does not mean you have two copies... don't go delete the "originals" thinking that you've now got a copy on the Dock, because what's on the Dock just points to the original.

Icon for documentation

In the IMG there are mulitple icons - one for documentation and one to actually execute the transaction.
We'd like to add an icon for documentation into the normal user menu next to the actual transaction. This could be for an SAP transaction or a custom transaction.
Does anyone know if this is possible ?
Thanks, Julie

It appears only when you are playing a file with chapters. It is a small squarish button to the left of the search box in iTunes 5.0.1, there is a little menu icon with an up/down arrow on the right. Click on it and you see each chapter.
I would be curious to know if you can play beyond chapter 1. I can't in 5.0.1 (and had no problems with the same files in iTunes 4.9 or when playing the files directly in the current version of Quicktime)

You might give VueScan a try. It should work with your scanner. There's a demo version that you can use initially.

Reset the TC to factory and start again.
Use all SMB type names for wireless and base station.. Not apple type names.. this is more important since Mavericks.
I also recommend different names for the different bands.
So for example.
TC name.. TCgenx (I use whatever the generation number is for the x.. eg TCgen4 or latest one TCgen5)
WIreless name.. TC24ghz for 2.4ghz
TC5ghz for 5ghz
You can also set the channel manually.
If you still have issues.. start with no security and then if it fails to connect there is something seriously wrong with the laptop. Did you upgrade install Mavericks?? That can lead to driver issues.. I would recommend a clean install.

How to delete history in safari? Even if i delete the history with the open book icon or via the preferences, if i click on the back arrow i CAN get all the previous websites. Thx for your help

How to delete the history on iPad in safari. Even if i delete the historie via the open book icon or via the preferences, even if the history seems blank if i click on the back arrow i CAN get all the previous visitée websites...how CAN i definitively delete the history, thank you for tour help.

If you close Safari completely e.g. via the taskbar, and then go into Settings > Safari and click Clear History and Clear Cache, then when you re-open Safari you should just get an empty page.

Blank icons for some programs on dock

A few days ago, one of the programs I run frequently (World of Warcraft) began appearing as a blank icon on the dock. By "blank icon" I mean there is nothing there but an empty space, through which you can see the background image. There is the little lit circle underneath it, of course, to indicate a running program. I do not keep in icon for this game on the dock.
Today, it started happening to some other programs. As with World of Warcraft, this is only happening (so far) to programs I do not keep on the dock when they're not running. It's happening to Firefox, and just recently, it happened for System Preferences. However, it does not happen for all programs that aren't kept on the dock. I tried running two other programs, one that came with OS X (Chess) and one that did not (some game like Windows' Minesweeper), and it didn't happen for either of them.
What should I do to fix this?

Open Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter:
killall Dock
Press RETURN. The "D" in Dock must be capitalized.
See if that helps. You can also try deleting the /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist file.

I hv lost my icon for iphoto on my Imac Mac OSX10.5.8.   I still hv my pics but can no longer creat albums and events. If I upgrade to the latest Mountain Lion, will my pics go into the new iphoto?

From where did you lose the iPhoto icon? From the Dock? If so, then it's still in your Applications folder. Find it there then drag the icon back into the Dock. If it's no longer in Applications perhaps you've moved or renamed it. Use Spotlight to search for "iphoto."
Upgrading to Mountain Lion will not affect your iPhoto Library unless you erase the hard drive first. Be sure you backup before any system upgrade.
Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
         7. Xserve (Early 2009)
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
     Am I eligible for the free upgrade?
         See Apple - Free OS X Mountain Lion upgrade Program.

Create a custom dock/application icon for .jar files built in eclipse

I've spent the better part of the afternoon trying to figure out how to apply a custom icon to jar file that I created in eclipse. I am presently using eclipse v3.5 on Mac OS X 10.6.2 and have yet to find a way to change the java coffee cup logo in the document icon for my jar files created in eclipse. Is there some way I can call a specific Apple class in Eclipse to change the dock/application icon of my .jar file?
I found this link that uses a class that seems to be specific to XCode to change the icon of the .jar file.
What I mean by change the icon of the jar file, I mean change the icon used in the dock, and also the icon used when the "command+tab" switcher pops up. Presently, I have the black console icon with the text "exec" in the upperleft.
If anyone has any good links on this topic or even better knows the code I need insert into my program I would be highly greatful.
cheers

Outlook for Mac 2011 doesn't bounce dock icon for new message

Under "Outlook Preferences -> Notifications & Sounds" I have the option selected "Bounce Outlook icon in Dock" for new messages. But the icon doesn't bounce when I get a new email. I'd really like for that to work - is this a known
issue or a local config issue?

Hi,
Please first note that the option only applies when Outlook is not the active application. In addition, it appears that the icon bounces when you first select the Outlook application to open it. If you want the icon to bounce when new mail arrives
you will need to create a rule for that.
Since this forum is for general questions and feedback related to Outlook for Windows, if above doesn't applies, I'd recommend you post a new question in the forum for Mac for further assistance:

Can I create an icon for a document in iCloud and place it in the dock for easy access?

I would like to create an icon for a spreadsheet that is stored in iCloud.and place the icon in the dock for easy access. This is possible with documents stored on the iMac. Thanks

How did you save Word documents to iCloud, Word will not do that so how did you? Did you use another application or maybe drop them in the Mobile Documents folder?
Please explain the how, then it may be easier to answer your question.

TIA

Icon for webpage still has artboard on it when I insert it into page

hi there
I'm new to illustrator and also new to web design.
I'm trying to put an icon I made into a webpage as a link, and well I'm not sure I have fully prepared the icon for this step.
When I save my icon as a gif or any format really, it's not just the icon that gets saved but the artboard it's on, and well that's what gets put up on the webpage.
Can anyone identify where I have gone wrong in preparing my icon for the web? How do I just have the icon and not the artboard?
David.

Well that would work but I have some pattern in there that has been masked so the frame of that pattern, even though it's not visible outside the icon, it's recognised when I use your techniqe Scott, so I'm going to try Monika's suggestions or try and work out how I can elminate that invisible frame. I'm not sure how easy that.
