Suddenly unable to apply custom icon to system drive?

I've loved using custom drive icons for years, and have routinely changed them to suit my moods. Today, no matter what I try, I cannot change it, and in fact the attempts to apply a new icon have removed my old one, and I now have the standard system icon. I've tried both as the user and as Administator. I've repaired perms.
What's going on?

Hi Mike, while I didn't think of it at the time I wrote the above, I now wonder if the Custom icon attribute bit got reset to No, and by using GetInfo and paste changed it back to yes. If you have Developer Tools installed you can test this theory with the GetFileInfo command:
-bash:~francine$ GetFileInfo /Volumes/OXey/
directory: "/Volumes/OXey/"
attributes: avbstClinmed
created: 08/05/2006 20:08:50
modified: 03/08/2007 00:11:16
As I recall, the volume OXey was the one that was having trouble, although now the attribute is set correctly (the upper case C means the item has a custom icon). Recently there have been a rash of cases of drives having the visibility attribute spontaneously changed from v to V, so I guess the custom bit could spontaneously change also. Again, if you have Developer tools installed you can try resetting the bit:
SetFile -a C /Volumes/OXey/
I just went the other way with my drive OXey, turned the bit off, relaunched the Finder and sure enough the custom icon disappeared, even though the .VolumeIcon.icns file was still there. When I turned the bit back on with the above command and relaunched Finder its custom icon reappeared.
If you don't have Developer Tools installed you can download them here:
http://homepage.mac.com/francines/.Public/setgetfile.zip
Unzip and either put the two commands where you want them in you PATH, or just drag each command in turn into the Terminal to use it.

Unable to set custom icon for system drive

Title says it all. Can't paste new custom icon onto drive icon in the Info panel-nothing happens. Any ideas?

When a custom icon is applied to a folder (including the "boot drive" icon, which is really just the top level folder), an invisible "Icon\r" file is created inside that folder (or a ".VolumeIcon.icns" in case of a volume - I missed this in the last post, sorry) and the "Custom Icon" file attribute is set. In order to do these things, a user must have sufficient privileges to modify the folder.
In Leopard, the default permissions are:<pre>
$ lsbom -d /Library/Receipts/boms/com.apple.pkg.Essentials.bom |grep "^. "
. 41775 0/80</pre>
The owner is "root", group is "admin", both have "read & write" privileges, and everyone else has "read only" privileges.
Similarly, in "Tiger":<pre>
$ lsbom -d /Library/Tiger/BaseSystem.pkg/Contents/Archive.bom |grep "^. "
. 41775 0/80</pre>
Nothing has changed. But furthermore, since the "sticky" bit is set, this might even mean that a custom icon set by one "admin" would only be removable by the same "admin" (though this isn't something I have tested). But either way, at a minimum, "admin" privileges would normally be required.
So if you had previously modified the permissions on the boot drive to allow non-admins to make changes, then certainly you woudn't have to have "admin" privileges to do this. But that is not the "normal" state.
Beyond that, it's hard to say why you can't make the changes even as an "admin" without at least knowing what the current permissions are on "/" and "/.VolumeIcon.icns"...

Applying custom icons to all files of a type

I used to use ResEdit back int he day - and have used various tools on Mac and Windows to change icons. BUt I am stuggling with a default custom icon option for Mac OS X.
I have a set of farily simply icons for use with a number of file types that I use a lot - csv, psl, pti, tp3, xml, cfr, and others and I would like to always have newly created files get the custom icon.
Ideally this would be based on the extension - and they are not all from the same app.
I am not afraid to use the terminal or edit package contents. Although some of them are windows apps - and I already have a custom set in the virtual machine.
Some of the solutions I have seen out there such as Candy Bar seem to be only for application and folder settings.
In a couple cases - such as the .cfr and .pti - the apps do not have an open method where you can double click on the file and have it open - so I woudl be okay with something like reprogramming TextEdit to have the necessary icons and plist updates. Although when I tried to edit the plist file in TextEdit - all I did was render TextEdit unusable.
any help in the right direction will be appreaciated - I find it very helpful when I create 30 to 40 files ( a group of 5 differnet file types for each option ) to have icons that help me determine which ones I need to run a macro against - and which to send the customer - and which to upload to the vendor - etc.
Also missing the colorful icons in the sidebar and iTunes - as well an Unsanity Haxies - guess what audio feedback does make me more productive or at the very least more certain that the system is behaving as I expect.

A new Cocoa-AppleScript application can be created from the AppleScript Editor > File > New from Template > Cocoa-AppleScript Applet menu item, pasting in the following script:
-- set icon
on run -- application double-clicked
    tell current application's NSOpenPanel's openPanel()
        setFloatingPanel_(true)
        setTitle_("Choose file items to set an icon for:")
        setPrompt_("Choose") -- the button name
        setDirectoryURL_(current application's NSURL's URLWithString_(POSIX path of (path to desktop)))
        setCanChooseFiles_(true)
        setCanChooseDirectories_(false)
        setShowsHiddenFiles_(false)
        setTreatsFilePackagesAsDirectories_(false)
        setAllowsMultipleSelection_(true)
        set theResult to runModal() as integer
        if theResult is current application's NSFileHandlingPanelCancelButton then tell me to quit -- cancel button
        set theFiles to URLs() as list
    end tell
    repeat with eachFile in theFiles -- coerce the file paths in place
        tell eachFile to set its contents to its |path|() as text
    end repeat
    open theFiles
end run
on open theItems -- items dropped onto the application
    try -- get a path to the image to be used for the icon
        set imageFile to POSIX path of (choose file with prompt "Select an image file for the icon:" of type "public.image")
    on error -- cancel button
        tell me to quit
    end try
    set errorList to {} -- this will be a list of problem files, if any
    repeat with eachItem in theItems
        if not setIcon(imageFile, eachItem) then
            set end of errorList to (eachItem & return)
        end if
    end repeat
    if errorList is not {} then -- oops, show items where there was a problem
        display alert "Error setting icon." message "Icons of the following items were not set:" & return & return & errorList as text
    end if
    tell me to quit -- done
end open
to setIcon(imageFilePath, fileItemPath) -- set the icon of a file item
    set mySharedWorkspace to current application's NSWorkspace's sharedWorkspace()
    set myImage to current application's NSImage's alloc's initWithContentsOfFile_(imageFilePath)
    try
        return mySharedWorkspace's setIcon_forFile_options_(myImage, fileItemPath, 0) as boolean
    on error errorMessage
        return false
    end try
end setIcon
After saving, the resulting application can be double-clicked, or you can drop files onto it (the script can't be run from the script editor). It can be tweaked further to include image files in the application bundle to select from (the icon images can be any image, not just icon files), or to be used in the Finder's toolbar, but for now the basic application should get you started.

Desktop/Finder not showing customized icon for external drives

I have customized the icons for my external drives (as well as several folders within), but they show up as generic icons on the desktop and in the finder. This only occurs in my Admin account (which I'm using). The customized icons show in the standard guest account I created. Are there any settings I should change?

Any chance the show / hide is not selected in your actual finder folder, not the preferences? I just went 'round with this for a half hour until I noticed that somehow the 'show' was clicked to 'hide' for some reason.....

Unable to apply custom theme with background Image through code

Hi,
I am creating custom SharePoint 2013 theme and applying it through code on site by referring MSDN Article : "http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj927175(v=office.15).aspx".
However when I try to add background image in custom theme and apply that theme to site then sites UI breaks.
Details: I have two features, in feature-1: I am Deploying *.spfont, *.spcolor and background image. Then I am adding a new entry in "composed looks" list for my custom theme. in feature 2- I am applying the custom theme to site by using following
code
SPTheme theme = SPTheme.Open("NewTheme", colorPaletteFile, fontSchemeFile, backgroundURI);theme.ApplyTo(Web, true);
Both feature activates without any errors, new entry also gets added in 'Composed Looks' list with all correct URLs, current item of composed looks list also change to custom theme but entire UI of site breaks If I remove background Image code from custom theme then everything works fine. Following code works fine
SPTheme theme = SPTheme.Open("NewTheme", colorPaletteFile, fontSchemeFile);
theme.ApplyTo(Web, true);
If I apply same background Image manually(not through code) then also everything works as expected.Any help will be really appreciated.

Can't apply custom channel strip icons in MS v2.2.2??

Hi all. I've been adding and using custom channel strip icons (in addition to patch icons) in MainStage for a couple of years now but have only just noticed that I can't apply custom channel strip icons in MS v2.2.2....for some reason I can only apply Logic's default icons for channel strips in v2.2.2. When I try to apply a custom icon to a channel strip, the icon region is blank. However, I have no problems applying custom icons to patches.
I've never had an issue with this in v2.1.x.
Is anyone else able to apply custom icons to channel strips in MS v2.2.2?
Cheers
Gary

CCT, I worked it out. For starters, you should be able to get custom Channel Strip icons working in MS v2.1.3 if you put the icons here: user\Library\Application Support\Logic\Images. My installation directory is the root Library but I've realized in the past days that others' installation directory is their user library. This seems to be the reason why custom Channel Strip icons don't work if placed in the root Library for those users.
For MS v2.2.2, the icons need to be placed in the MS app itself i.e. Show Package Contents: \Contents\Resources\Images. Don't ask me why but they appear correctly when placed there. I wouldn't be surprised that this situation is a bug that was overlooked by Apple when they developed v2.2.x
I have both versions of MS on my system and in v2.2.2, my icons are duplicated because they're in the v2.2.2 app as well as ~\Library\Application Support\Logic\Images. However, only those icons located in the v2.2.2 app actually work.

Form apply changes results in Unable to fetch custom authentication functio

created a simple form/report application using the wizard and no modification of any kind and I can do everything except apply changes to any field on form screen -
got the following error:
Unable to fetch custom authentication function body in application - HTTP 500 Internal Server Error
any ideas??
Thanks.

I am using data base account.
more info:
the table I am working with is an existing table with large number of columns. to simplify testing I created the following table as a select from original table:
CREATE TABLE APPS.FGS_TEMP_2
TASK_ID NUMBER(15) NOT NULL,
PROJECT_ID NUMBER(15),
TASK_NUMBER VARCHAR2(25 BYTE) NOT NULL
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX APPS.FGS_TEMP_2_IDX1 ON APPS.FGS_TEMP_2
(TASK_ID)
LOGGING
ALTER TABLE APPS.FGS_TEMP_2 ADD (
CONSTRAINT FGS_TEMP_2_CON
PRIMARY KEY
(TASK_ID)
USING INDEX APPS.FGS_TEMP_2_IDX1);
and again used wizard to create a simple tabular form to view and edit - now I am able to edit and apply changes to PROJECT_ID , TASK_NUMBER but not TASK_ID ?? which I guess is a different problem.
here is the table I am trying to create the form for to edit and add - this is an existing table with few thousands rows.

Trouble with some documents: no custom icon, only generic appears

I tried anything: rebuilt launch servcice, permission repair, daily, weekly, monthly scripts (using maintanace, onyx, etc...) BUT all the documents associated with Openoffice have no custom icon. I also tried reinstalling oo with no success. It happens with textedit and keynote (using "get info", open with, apply to all) and don't know why?
Can anybody help me?
Thanks!

You could create a new admin user and move the data within each of these folders to the corresponding folder on the new account: Desktop, Documents. Library, Movies, Music, etc. You can di it most easily IMO, by copying your Home folder to DVD first. Alternatively, you could use Users/Shared for the data.
But it would really be best to sort this issue in your present user.
It would be a good idea to test with a new user though to see if the problem exists there.
Create a new account, name it "test" and see how your OO & TE work in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
Let us know and we'll troubleshoot this further.

Custom icon for boot camp disk?

I have a Win XP boot camp disk partition (NTFS file system) on an internal hard drive. I want to use a custom icon for this partition on my OS X desktop. However, when I select the icon of this partition in a Get Info window, the only Edit option that ever appears is to Copy the icon. That is, I cannot paste another icon over it (the Paste option is grayed out).
Is this due to the partition being Windows? Is there a way other than the Get Info method for applying a custom icon? I'm using 10.5.2, but the same thing happened with 10.5.1, and also using a fresh test account.

Did you know you could have converted the drive to NTFS within Window (not reformatting and losing everything)? I converted mine from FAT32 to NTFS a few months back, lucky for me I already had a drive icon in OSX so the conversion kept the icon.
For your case though, do this:
1) Paste your icon (in the Get Info window) onto a USB thumb drive formatted as FAT32. The name of the drive doesn't matter.
2) Launch Windows through Boot Camp, Parallels Desktop, or VMware Fusion.
3) Open the thumb drive in Windows.
4) Select Folder Options… from the Tools menu, and set it to show invisible files.
5) Copy the two files .VolumeIcon.icns and ._[cr]File, where [cr] is a carriage return, to the NTFS drive.

Unable to open PSE icons in PSE9

I have PSE icons (JPG Files) in my Documents. I click on the file in "Documents>open>"file folder number">open" PSE 9 opens and I receive the message ("Could not complete your request because the file is locked. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file.") When I try to open the same PSE icons, while PSE 9 is open, the message becomes ("Could not complete your request because of a program error.") How do you get to the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer? Also the file icons display as icons in the view column of Documents.

Thanks Ken, I have tried all of the above. When I uncheck "encrypt
contents to secure data" I come to a dialogue box "Access Denied" "You will need
to provide administrator permission to change these attributes. Click
Continue to complete this operation."   When I click Continue: I come to
another dialogue box. "Error Applying Attributes: an error occurred applying
attributes to the file C:\Users\User name|Docu...Number_Number.JPG, Access
is denied." I have 4 choices "Ignore, Ignore All, Try Again and/or
Cancel." all of which stop me in my tracks. I have a Dell System and, I am not
sure but, Dell may have some sort of prevention for me to go any further.
It may have something to do with the "Bit Blocker Drive Encryption".

Cannot add custom icon

I downloaded custom icons.
I select Get info on the custom icon. I select it. Select edit copy.
I select the main icon. I select Get Info. I select it. I CANNOT SELECT PASTE BECAUSE IT IS GRAYED OUT.

permissions system in snow leopard has changed and admin users no longer have write permissions to safari (and other preinstalled apps). if you look at the permissions section of the get info popup for safari you'll see that admin group is not listed and instead the group listed is wheel. you can temporarily change the group to admin to apply the icon. but this has to be done from terminal. want to see the details?

I can no longer edit my custom content management system using Firefox

Hello,
I work for the University of North Carolina. We have a very old custom content management system that is built in Oracle (UCM). When logged in, it has little edit buttons that allow you to click on items and launch edit windows. I don't know what's behind that -- it's not Java. I'm thinking javascript? All I know is that since the Firefox upgrade to 13.0.1, the edit buttons no longer display, and the sites are not editable.
So far, the only way we've been able to allow people to edit their sites is by forcing them to use IE9 in compatibility mode. All other browsers fail for various reasons. Firefox is our workhorse browser, but we're desperate to have Firefox back.
I understand we also have some problems with our Remedy application -- not sure what's happening, but it's also no longer functional in Firefox. I'm wondering if there is a patch in the works that will address these issues?
BTW, it sounds a lot like this issue here: http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/930042

Drat... So, we tried taking out the javascript entirely. No real change, except lightbox actions would not function. Then, we tried referencing a different javascript version. No difference, except that lightboxes and Carousels still would not function.
To see if the $ error was universal across all of our sites, I logged into four or five other UCM sites. None of them threw the $ error, only the Art site. What's interesting is that for all sites, you can see editable areas if you look for them (e.g. mouse randomly around the areas where there used to be buttons to click on), but the icons continue to not show up.
The warnings coming from the console seem fairly benign, and it's only the Art site that throws a definite error. The only thing that seems consistent across all sites is the warning: "server does not support RFC 5746, see CVE-2009-3555".
Any other thoughts? I'm not sure a guest logon would help, but I can certainly pursue that line of action if you'd like to dig a little deeper.
Thanks in advance,

Heading style is suddenly no longer applied in RH8

My colleague has been using a custom header style with no problems. The other day, the style is suddenly no longer applied in preview.
The project and styled text appear as they should on my computer, but not his.
Coincidentally, an upgrade to Explorer 7 was made prior to the new issue, but not sure why that impacts the preview, and the upgrade doesn't impact the project appearance on my computer.
Does he need to reinstall Robohelp to fix this issue?
Just in case, the style is:
P.01ProcessHeading {
font-weight: bold;
font-style: normal;
margin-bottom: 12pt;
margin-left: 0in;
border-bottom-style: Ridge;
font-size: 18pt;
color: #000000;
border-bottom-width: 2px;
border-bottom-color: #db281c;
font-family: Arial;
The HTML of the styled text is:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="generator" content="Adobe RoboHelp 8" />
<title>01 Adding Allergens</title>
<link rel="StyleSheet" href="..\..\default.css" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>

           style="border: none;" width="16"

I wondered if charset=utf-8 might be a problem - mentioned on another forum topic, http://forums.adobe.com/message/1937722#1937722

Hi,
The name of the style starts with numbers. This is invalid CSS and is causing the problems. The best solution is to rename the style (don't use numbers if you can avoid it) and use a find and replace operation to correct the style in your project. (Make a backup first).
Search for all class="01ProcessHeading" and replace it with class="MyNewName".
You can validate your css by using the free W3C CSS validator: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
