Trouble changing icon of SD card

I tried to change the generic silver drive icon for my camera's memory card to a new image which is a .png file. I brought up the info pane for both the png file and the usb drive but when I pasted the image it came up as a generic type icon with PNG on it. How can I fix this???

I've seen on other sites it says to simply copy the info pane icon of the image and paste it into the drive's info pane icon.
That will copy the icon that you see in the Finder. If that's what you're after, it's appropriate. If what you're after is the actual image contained within the .png file, you must do as I suggested.

  • Trouble changing icon in any application, file, etc etc

    I've followed the instructions to change an icon and have done it before with success. But it's not working anymore? Here are the steps i'm doing.... Am I missing something?
    1. right click on icon that i want to use as the "new icon"
    (i believe this is the problem... preview.app is opening the icon. with in get info, the "icon" at the top is just your generic "jpeg" icon. In the "preview" window towards the bottom shows a picture of the icon)
    2. select get info
    3. right click on "icon" at top of preview window
    4. cmd c to copy (also tried copy from file drop down)
    5. repeated step on target app to chang icon
    6. cmnd v to paste (also tried to paste from file drop down)
    doesn't change the icon on the target app or file etc etc....
    signed.... confused?

    OK, try doing both a SMC and PRAM reset and see if either takes care of the problem.

    SMC & PRAM Resets
    There are a couple of things you can do before heading off to the Apple store, a SMC and PRAM resets. To do these:
    _SMC RESET_
    • Shut down the computer.
    • Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    • Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    • Release the power button.
    • Attach the computers power cable.
    • Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    _PRAM RESET_
    • Shut down the computer.
    • Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    • Turn on the computer.
    • Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    • Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    If it still doesn't work then try restarting in Safe Mode, this will clear out some caches which have become corrupted. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455

  • Sudden Trouble Changing Icons

    Many times in the past, I've changed the icons on my Mac with no problem following these steps:
    1. Select the volume, application, folder, or file whose icon you want to stamp onto another, just click the icon to select it.
    2. From the File menu, choose Get Info or press Command-I to open the Info window.
    3. Click the icon in the upper-left corner of the Info window to select it.
    4. From the Edit menu, choose Copy or press Command-C.
    5. Select the volume, application, folder, or file whose icon you want to replace.
    6. From the File menu, choose Get Info or press Command-I.
    7. Click the icon in the upper-left corner.
    8. From the Edit menu, choose Paste or press Command-V to replace the icon.
    Now, all of a sudden, when I attempt step 8, the Paste (and Cut) command(s) are grey-out. I have not recently installed new software. What am I overlooking?
    Thanks.

    Thank you -- that was exactly the issue. FYI I created an exclusively administrator account, and for whatever reason forgot I had to call up the administror password window in order to assign permissions to my personal account.

  • HT1918 Having trouble changing my credit card info for my I tunes account online

    I am having trouble changing my payment info for my I tunes account online

    What problem are you having ? If you are getting an error message then what does it say ?

  • HT1918 I can't seem to update my apps or make any purchases on from my account. Nothing has changed with my credit card information and for some reason the iTunes Store tells me my information is incorrect. What do I do?

    I can't seem to update my apps or make any purchases on from my account. Nothing has changed with my credit card information and for some reason the iTunes Store tells me my information is incorrect. What do I do?

    Yes, it's frustrating.
    I don't have my iPod with me but, as I recall, the change is done in Settings/Store.  That change will apply to NEW purchases.  However, be aware that all purchases are permanently associated with the Apple ID that was originally used.  Generally, it's only a problem when you need to update an app.  IF you do your updating from iTunes and your logged in to the "wrong" ID, you'll need to log out and back in again.  It's easier from the iPod as you do not need to log out/in but you do need to know the password.
    Unfortunately, you can not merge IDs nor can you transfer purchases from one ID to another.  Go here to find out exactly what you have.  I have the same problem so I deliberately made both passwords identical to make things slightly easier for me.

  • Im having trouble changing my security questions, they are from years ago so i do not remember them and the reset email is no longer active,and i dont know how i can use the account because i added money to it but it asks for the questions. anybody help??

    im having trouble changing my security questions, they are from years ago so i do not remember them and the reset email is no longer active.., and i dont know how i can use the account because i added money to it but it asks for the questions. anybody help??
    this says it all..

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Contact Apple through iTunes Store Support, and explain that you have forgotten your 3 security questions, that you can reset your password, but doing so doesn't reset your security questions.
    Remember, support will receive hundreds, if not thousands of requests per day, some from people trying it on, others with little explanation and others that are written extremely poorly. Take the time to explain your situation properly, be precise and concise, brief but comprehensive.

  • Add change Icon in the Table Control tool bar.

    Hi Abapers,
    I need to add "change" icon in the table control. I added it but when I click on it is not working.
    My requirement is that when I run my custom report, all the fields should be shown is in display mode. Then when I click on the "change" icon, all fields should be enabled for change.
    I have already referred to the standard progs BCALV_* but it does not have the "change" icon.
    plz give me any reference prg or sample code.
    Thanks
    Nani.

    Hi Nani,
    Track the function code of change icon in user command. if it is clicked then put a flag eq X.
    check that flag in PBO, if it is eq X then screen-input = 1 or vice versa.
    try this code:
    in PBO:
    LOOP AT SCREEN
    IF WS_EDIT = 'X'
    SCREEN-INPUT = 1
    ELSE
    SCREEN-INPUT = 0
    ENDIF
    MODIFY SCREEN
    ENDLOOP
    Hope it will work fine
    Regards

  • How to change icon of a Folder-track?

    By Folder-track I mean the Folder in Arrange window that is created from "packing reions". Is that even possible in LogicPro7 - to change it's icon?
    I mean I know how to change icons for my audio tracks, audio-instrument tracks. And it would be nice if I can assign different icons for different Folder-tracks.
    I did not find how to do that

    It is possible... use option-command-hold on the icon of the folder in a track in the arrange and up pops the many icons to choose from.
    You can set the icon to something other than the folder.
    To make different folders I guess you would have to do some image editing
    and make your own icons but that is pretty easy.
    Put your user create icons here...
    ~/Library/Application Support/Logic/Images/Icons
    and logic will load your numbered image file instead of the default ones that
    Logic would normaly use.
    Note: 1.png is the file name of the regular folder icon.

  • Change icon for file type

    how to change icon for all of the tile type? not just one, but all!

    Changing the file icon will not enable Quicktime to play Matroska files. Changing the file suffix might.
    It could be a 'difficult' form of Matroska file. FYI Matroska is just a container like MOV or AVI, and some mkv have the video encoded with Real Video Codec (RV9 RV10). Perian+QT can't decode this, but VLC will play .mkv files just fine on OS X, as long as they don't use H.264!
    It's a bit of a lottery until Matroska decide to support the Apple platform. I have found this:
    http://mkv4mac.free.fr/index.php?lang=en&p=lec
    which may help.
    But there may be another workaround: 1. Get Info the mkv file
    2. Change to extension to wmv. Save as wmv and that could work better.
    Or this link may be helpful:
    http://www.squidoo.com/mkv-converter-mac
    Recently, a poster (ZachP14) suggested this:
    "There's a program called Plex that runs .mkv files awesome on my 2.0 ghz macbook."
    http://www.plexapp.com/
    Maybe worth a try?

  • JTree changing Icons of leaves of a node

    I have a Jtree with root node as "Project"
    I have nodes as "color", "sports", "food" which in turn have leaves.
    I have to set an Icon "Icon1" for all the leaves of node "color"
    I have to set another Icon "Icon2" for all leaves of node "sports"
    and have to set another Icon3" for all the leaves of node "food"
    How do I go about doing it? Thanks.

    Take a look at the Swing Tutorial, specifically http://web2.java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/tree.html#display. This gives a straightforward example of changing icons (or anything on the node) by using a cell renderer.

  • Changing Icons & Reverting to Old?

    Can someone please explain how to change icons on both the dock and desktop as well as a good site with cool new icons?
    Also - if I change an icon, how do I go about reverting to the old one?
    Thanks.

    click on the icon or folder...
    Press Apple+i
    The window will pop up
    Find the icon you WANT
    Do the same - select it, press Apple+i
    Then in the top left corner you will see a mini icon. Click that so it's selected.
    Hit Apple+C
    Then select the icon you want to replace. Click on that so it's selected
    Hit Apple+V
    If it doesn't show up, just do it again.
    To REMOVE an icon - same thing - press apple+i on the file you want to remove the icon on
    Click the little icon in the top left corner so it's selected
    Hit Apple+X
    The icon reverts to the ORIGINAL icon.
    As mentioned above, there are other programs, that you pay for, that can do this for you automatically, and can change icons within say browsers and such (like your little finder icons, etc). It's cool for about 10 minutes, but I don't think it's worth the money.
    Make sure to check out apple.com downloads, iconfactory, and many other websites for apple icons, there are a TON out there.

  • Trouble changing track volumes

    I seem to have a lot of trouble changing the individual track volumes. Sometimes it will not let my mouse select the slide bar to change the volume. After a couple seconds fidgeting with it and clicking on it it usually will allow me to "grab" it and move it. This is quite annoying. Anyone else run into this?

    The track volume slider should move normally, every time. Does it appear grayed out at first or active? You might want to just click on the main track bar, to make it active, and then try it. Maybe that's what's been causing it.
