Want an iTunes icon for desktop

I want an iTunes icon for the desktop; but when I look in the iTunes folder under Start Menu/All Programs/iTunes, all that has in there is iTunes.exe.  When I double click on it, it tries to install.
Where can I get (or how do I make) a shortcut for desktop?

when I right click, 'create shortcut' is not shown.
Is that the iTunes icon in your Start menu, that you're clicking on rather than your iTunes.exe, bg?
In Computer, open Local disk C:\ or whichever drive you have your program files installed on.
If you have a 32-bit Vista, open the "Program files" folder.
If you have a 64-bit Vista, open the "Program files (x86)" folder.
Open the "iTunes" folder.
Right-click on the iTunes.exe file and select "Create Shortcut".
(If you have "Hide extensions for known file types" engaged in your View options, and you can't see the .exe extension, be sure click on the iTunes file in the "iTunes" folder that has the iTunes icon. (The other one is your iTunes.dll, not your iTunes.exe.)

  • Can't get rid of itunes icon on desktop

    Already have iTunes showing on dock on bottom of display and now have iTunes icon on desktop display as well. Tried dragging it into trash but then I can't open iTunes from the dock without dragging desktop icon out of trash to and back to the desktop. Tried dragging desktop icon onto dock and into already existing iTunes icon already on the dock. Nothing i've tried seems to work. How to I get rid of this desktop icon?

    Hi bkbl?
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    First check in Applications to see if there is an iTunes icon there?
    If so then just drag the one on your Desktop to the dock, make sure it works and then drag the old one off.

  • I want to delete Icons for Notes, Contacts, Facetime...

    I want to delete Icons for Notes, Contacts, Facetime...  all that junk I don't want to use. Can I or has Apple deemed that "too important for a user to determine" as well?

    You cannot delete any pre-installed iOS app.
    Put the Apps you choose Not to Use into a Folder and ignore  it.

  • Custom icon for desktop shortcut

    Hi All,
    I have a link in the portal which when the end users click should create a desktop shortcut to the portal.
    I used this to create the desktop shortcut
    var WshShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
    strDesktop = WshShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop");
    var oShellLink = WshShell.CreateShortcut(strDesktop + "
    Portal.url");
    oShellLink.TargetPath = "URL to the portal";
    oShellLink.Save();
    By default we get the IE icon for this shortcut. I want a custom icon to be associated with this shortcut.
    I can use oShellLink.IconLocation but the icon needs to be in every users c:\windows folder.
    Does somebody know how can I add this custom icon?
    Many Thanks,
    Akhilesh

  • Icon for Desktop Shows Up as a Generic Icon in the Places Sidebar

    Noticed yesterday that the icon for the Desktop showed up as a generic icon in the Places Sidebar. I have tried resetting the PRAM, repaired the Hard Disk and Permissions using the Disk Utility and deleted the com.apple.desktop.plist pref in my user library. I also checked my Admin account I use for troubleshooting and the desktop icon was fine in that account. Not sure what else to do. Not a big deal but just wanted to make sure that it is not a sign of bigger things to come. Maybe the MBP knows I'm thinking of trading it in for a new model, LOL.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks in advance.

    Wow. That's stunning. I don't really know why it works, but it does. Apparently when you paste something on top of the icon in the sidebar, and remove it, it refreshes itself and somehow remembers the original icon?
         I deleted something and had several blank white icons in the sidebar, so I removed them and restored by pulling them back on from my home folder. Everything worked except the Desktop. First it was the blank white icon. Then I pulled it from my home folder and it was a plain blue icon with the generic page symbol, such as a standard Documents folder icon. Then I fiddled with it and pulled it over again and it changed to the generic blue desktop icon you see in the home folder. Last I tried your step of just pasting the generic desktop icon over it and undo-ing that paste, and viola!
         Many thanks for sharing. I could have forced myself to live with the generic, but it wouldn't have been the same, and not truly satisfactory, as it wasn't back the way I started. Insert applause.

  • HT201210 on my iPad I get an image of the USB connection and an arrow pointing to the itunes icon for a few seconds then it switches off.  connected  to itunes via USB get a message that itunes has detected an ipad in recovery mode must restore when i do

    When I havent got my ipad connected to a power supply I get an image on my ipad of the usb cable with an arrow pointing to a itunes icon and no matter what you try and do iyt stays on that for a few seconds and then switches off the ipad, connecting it through usb into itunes on my PC (XP) this image says on the screen but I get a message on itunes saying itunes has detected an ipad in recovery mode and mneeds to be restored - when I fire off the restore through itunes after a few minutes it comes back and says it cannot restore and give an error message 1603.  I have also repeated the process through my wife's laptop (Vista) and get the same situation -it is an 32GB Ipad 3 purchased last November -  any ideas ?

    Try and turn off iPad/iPod and proceed to step 3 of Recovery Mode.
    Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

  • How to get search sites icons for desktop

    Can't get sites icons, always get firefox's icons

    If you drag a link or favicon on the left end of the location bar onto the desktop to create an internet shortcut then that shortcut gets the icon of the default browser.
    If you want a different icon (favicon) then you have to assign that icon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties).
    You can usually get the favicon if you append "favicon.ico" to the main domain of a website (e.g. http://www.mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder or see if you can find it in "Tools > Page Info > Media".

  • Hovering/Pop-up Info Icons for Desktop

    I'm talking about the big Windows 8 kind, like when one toggles Capslock, or Keyboard Language, or Insert. I've searched around but couldn't find anything, if someone is using something of the like I'd appreciate it if they pointed me in the right direction. Running OpenBox with tint2 atm pretty basic.

    A wrapper script bound to those keys that triggers notify-send would be one way to accomplish it...

  • When I click on my desktop itunes icon it tells me it's  stopped working..help?

    Help please.  I have windows Vista.  Never had a problem until last week.  When I click on itunes icon on desktop I get a message that it has stopped working.  I have tried to downoad several times ...nothing seems to work.  How can I get my itunes back?

    When I click on itunes icon on desktop I get a message that it has stopped working.
    Your Vista will have been recording some information about those ones.
    Go into your Problem Reports and Solutions Control Panel, click on the Problem History, and look for iTunes problem reports that occur at the same time as those error messages. Open the iTunes problem reports and have a look through them. Do they all say pretty much the same thing? If so, paste the contents of a typical problem report into a reply here so we can have a look.

  • Icon for Jar File?

    Is it possible to include an Icon in a Jar file
    that will be displayed for the jar file instead
    of a default Icon give to it by Windows 2000? If
    so, how is it done?
    Thanks

    no it's not possible as the JAR file does not know anything about the operating system. this is windows dependend. if you want a custom icon for one jar file, create a shortcut to the jar and adjust the icon of this shortcut.

  • Icons for Insert/Delete Pages to Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.

    I want to add icons for Insert Pages and Delete Pages so that I have quicker access than clicking on the Document option or the Navigation Panel. Used to have this on my old version of Adobe, but it was recently updated at work and I can't figure out how to put them back.

    Hi Eggy72,
    If I understand correctly, you want to customize the toolbars in Acrobat 9 to include the Insert Pages and Delete Pages options?
    If so, please see Show and Hide Toolbar Elements in chapter 2 of the Acrobat 9 Help: http://help.adobe.com/archive/en_US/acrobat/9/professional/acrobat_pro_9.0_help.pdf
    I hope that answers your question!
