Utilities Dock Icon Will Not Change

For some reason when I do get info on my utilities the icon is proper but as soon as I move it to my dock it changes to look exactly like my activity monitor icon. Anyone know why and how to fix it?

Rick-click (Control-click) on the Utilities dock icon and select Folder in Display As

Hand ICON will not change to tool ICONS

When starting a new file, the Hand ICON will not change to tool ICONS. When I walk away for an hour it seems to start working properly.

BINGO ~ space bar did the trick to get out of hand ICON

Finder Icon will not change! Please help!

I have been customizing the look of of my dockbar on my imac by giving all of my apps new ios 7 style icons.
Yesterday I changed my Finder icon with no problem at all by going to:
System→Library→Core Services→(right click 'Dock'→Show Package Contents)→Contents→Resources.
And replacing the two png files (finder.png) and ([email protected]) with my new images. Yesterday I did this all perfectly fine and it changed to my new icon.
However today I found a better finder icon and decided to change it again to this new version. However what ever I try it will not change to this new icon.
I have followed the exact same steps as before, I have replaced my two png files from yesterday with my new ones and I have checked and re-checked that I am naming the files correctly, and that they are the right format etc.
I have even deleted my original icons that I changed it to yesterday and emptied them from the trash but it is still there even after restarting and shutting down and rebooting.
I have also tried going to terminal and typing 'killall Dock', it still returns with the same icon that I changed it to yesterday, even though I have deleted them from my hard drive.
Please help me this is so frustrating and have wasted many many hours on this.

Then, update your profile/product info. BTW, I have nothing for the icon problem.

Dock icons will not disappear when I drag them to desktop or trash

On my MacBook Pro, when I drag an icon from the dock to the desktop or to trash, it bounces back to where it was on the dock. I tried to move Applescript Editor, AppleWorks 6, Keychain Access, Activity Monitor, Quick Time Player and several more icons and they all did the same. Each icon that will not disappear, has a blue dot reflection underneath it.
I moved one of the icons without a blue reflection to the desk top and it did go up in smoke, but as soon as i replaced that icon from finder back to the dock, it also had a blue reflection under it and I could not make it disappear again.
If anyone can help me, I would appreciate it. Thank you so much,
Arudi

You're only supposed to drag icons out of the Dock if you want to remove them from it; running applications won't disappear immediately but may do so when quit.
If you're trying to put icons on the desktop, find the items in the Finder and drag them there with the Option and Command keys held down.

Dock Icons will not stay in their place (CPU?)

I have been having an issue with random dock icons not staying in their place. I move an icon to a place that makes it arranged correctly in terms of grouping or importance and it "slides" back to it's original place almost immediately. Or I will move one and start arranging and all of a sudden one will slide to the right side or something.
I finally got a chance to troubleshoot this and did a google search.
I have for a very long time had DOCK SYNC TURNED OFF.
Now I have gotten into the MBP and LOGGED OUT of my MobileMe account and it STILL does this. It has been happening since I bought the computer new. I have other issues related to battery life and beachballs and hot computer or hot power charger of loud fan so I put another 4 GIGS in the machine recently so that it now has 8.
Mac phone support says they want to walk me through checking the CPU but I have done this routine like three times on this computer where I set up a User Account and I have done a FRESH INSTALL twice since I bought it. Last week I finally caught a break in the schedule to bring it in and they say the Hardware is fine.
I mean, it is odd but I don't consider this machine to be what I would consider a "pro" line but at the same time I see that this dock thing is happening on my MacPro (albeit while I am still logged into my MobileMe account).
Thoughts or suggestions? I don't want to take the time to bring it in if I don't have to.

yup. bizarre. logged out of MobileMe and I try to move the Keychain Icon from the third on the left to the last on the right and -whoooo-oop - it slides back to the left. no fun. like having a gremlin moving books around in my library or something...

Dock icons will not stop running

The icons on my dock will not stop running. They have the small blue light under them when in use but the light does not go off when I close the program. I have been quitting them by holding down the curser on the icon until menu comes up to quit. Help, please. Thanks, Arudi

Icon will not change correctly

Dear all,
when I formatted my LaCie 8GB usb-key, unfortnately (but logically) the small icon was replaced by the standard harddisk icon. I went to the LaCie homepage and downloaded the official key icon. I tried to replace icon with the information fields the way Apple instructs you to do. The icon however will change into the standard EPS-icon. Left on top it says EPS and below it just says PS. Who can help me?
Thank you very much in advance,
Kamiel

HI,
Delete this file then try to change the icon.
com.apple.finder.plist
~/Library/Preferences.
Move that file to the Trash and restart your Mac.

Icon will not change to the new associated program

I had .DNG files associated with a photo editing program running uner Windows/Parallel. I have installed Lightroom for .DNG files and have changed the association to Adobe Lightroom and confirmed that I want this to appy to all .DNG files. DNG files now open in Lightroom, but they still have the old icon.
Is there some way to force the icon to change?
Cheers.

Go to website.
Change it back.
You will have 2 minutes to delete iCloud from iPhone.
Change it to new one on website and verify.
Sign in new one on the phone.

Some applications are not opening, including mail and Word. Clicking on the icon stirs it on the dock, but will not open it.

Ok, that's plenty of space.
Check the S.M.A.R.T. status on your HD: Boot from install disc (insert disc > restart > immediately hold down the c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”) > at first screen select the language and click Continue > click on the Utilities Menu in the menu bar > select Disk Utility > select your HD in the panel on the left side (the name of the HD’s manufacturer and the model number, usually the top item in the list) > look at the bottom of the main window next to S.M.A.R.T. status and see if it says “Verified” (good) or something more ominous like “Failing.”
If S.M.A.R.T. status is "Verified," run Repair Disk > click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility (such as DriveGenius, TechToolPro, DiskWarrior) or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD which will need to be replaced (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quit the installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.

My Ipod touch will not change songs or shuffle

My I pod touch will not change or shuffle songs. Everything else seems to be working correctly. Any suggestions?

While playing any song on your iPod, tap the artwork to bring up the scrubber bar and additional controls. On the left hand side is a option for repeat. You want to make sure this icon is white (meaning it is set to Off). If it isn't tap it either one or two times to change its current setting.
Any luck there?

My mail icon will not open

All my icons on my dock are opening without any problem, but my mail icon will not open.

Launch Launchpad. Click Mail icon in the Launchpad to
open Mail Application.
Does it open?
If Mail application launches from Launchpad, drag the old Mail icon in the Dock
upward about two inches, it will vanish in a puff of smoke.
Launch Mail, when Mail icon appears in the Dock, right click it,select "Options"
and then "Keep in Dock".

Sound effects icon will not go away

Sound effect icon will not go away. It is in the middle of the screen. Tried changing the sound setting no luck.

I also am having issues with the "sound effects icon" on my iPad. I took it to an Apple store and was told there was a dent in the side by the sound button. Is this a common problem? Haven't dropped the iPad so don't know what has caused this. Apple said $269 to repair. Got the iPad at Christmas as a gift.
