Videos not accepting images as icons. What should I do?

I am trying to set an image as the icon for a video file. However, instead of getting the image, I simply get a generic "JPG" placeholder icon.
What should I do?

Exactly how are you trying to do this?
One technique that should work is to open the image in Preview, Select All (A) in Preview, copy (C) to place the selection in the clipboard.  Then in the finder do a Get Info on the document or folder you want to set, click the icon in the Get Info winow at the top, and paste the copied image that you copied to the clipboard from Preview (V).

    IF THE RESET DOESN'T WORK, FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad

    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port. Do not release button until you see picture of iTune and plug (very important)
    5. Release Home button.

  • HT5568 I have Mac OS X 10.7.5- can not download safari from anywhere, what should I do?

    I have Mac OS X 10.7.5- can not download safari from anywhere, what should I do?

    Safari is part of OS X 10.7.5, and your downloads should be via  > Software Update...
    Can you provide some details on why you're trying to download Safari?  Did Safari get deleteed from the dock or from the /Applications folder?  Is Safari failing somehow?
    There are ways to re-load Safari using the standard updates, if so.  That usually involves re-applying the combo update kits, but I'd not start with that as a suggestion without knowing a little more about what's causing you to seek to re-download Safari...
    And FWIW, and this may well be obvious to you, but — based solely on your phrasing, as I don't know how familiar you are with this stuff — recognize that sites claiming to offer {Safari or other web browsers, video codecs, flash players, system performance accellerators, anti-virus software,  cache cleaners, games, whatever} can be distributing malware for OS X.  Once the tool is downloaded and installed and authenticated, then the tool can do whatever it wants.  Put another way, please don't try downloading Safari from anywhere.  Please get Safari only from the Apple web site.

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

    Don't you have 2 Apple remotes now?
    Either way, hold menu and down key together for 6 secs and that should fix it unless the remote is broken or battery is flat.

    hi, my mac book pro, spotlight indexing process not compleate last 1 week. what should i do.. my machine speed are very poor. pls help

    System Preference/Spotlight/Privacy
    drag your disk into the list, excluding it temproraily from the indexing procedure.
    Restart your mac, and open the Privacy page again, click the disk and the minus button to re-incorporate it into the procedure and restart the indexing.
    Or just try your luck in Disk Utility/First Aid/Repair Disk Permission first.

  • HELP! Can Not Accept Images from Mac to Windows - ...

    Last week I updated my Skype to Apple Mac Version 7.2 (412) (latest Version) and all of a sudden a few of my employees could not accept image files from me. Its telling them "the photo is unavailable"
    Ive used Skype with them for 7 years and this is the first time we had any issues like this. 
    Now, I know this is usually related to the updates not being current for all users but this not the case, 2 out of 5 of my employees (Using Windows) can not reaceive any photos from me but they are running the latest version of Skype which is 6.22.59.107 (Windows) The other emplyees of mine are also running the latest version of Skype for Windows anf they are able to recieve files from me with no problems. 
    This problem only started when I updated last week. 
    Is this a Bug? Any work arounds? Anything.....
    SEE ATTACHED SCREEN SHOT.

    Can you please double check with your contact on Windows 8 that they are using Skype 7.0 for Windows and not Skype 3.1 for modern Windows. The latter is not supporting the new modern photo transfer method. you can share this link for the Skype for Windows desktop client: http://www.skype.com/en/download-skype/skype-for-computer/
