Where are my icons

my mac seems fine in safe mode. Many problems when running normal admin user. 1. First noticed that I couldn't move files on desktop. rebooted and started loosing icons. The more times I rebooted or restarted the more icons I lost. Can still open programs from the tags that normally are below icon.
2.adobe flash crashes, after recent upgrade. Have gone back to flash 10 but still no joy. doesn't crash in save mode but doesn't work appears to be loading but no actual movie. 3. Very slow.
Any ideas short of reinstall ????(need to replace superdrive)

Where are the icons?

I installed headstart with designer 6 with Oracle 8 on NT.
Everything seems to work but I cannot get the icons to appear in the toolbar in the utilities and demo applications.
My registry settings are:
TK25_ICON : F:\orant\HSD21\hst\ico
UI_ICON : F:\orant\HSD21\hst\ico;f:\orant\CGENF60\ADMIN\ICONS\PC
Desparate as I was I even copied all the icons to the path where the invoked fmb was but it still does not work.
Thanks in advance

You also need the path 'f:\hsd21\hsu\ico' in the UI_ICON registry variable. This is where the utilities icons are stored.

Where are Photoshop icons stored in windows

I am trying to repair some file type extensions. I need to know where the icons are stored for Photoshop. Especially the icon for .abr (adobe brushes)

what grahamtav said, then select advanced and change icon. select the photoshop.exe which should be in (or around) 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop cs3' or something very similar.
with that selected you can choose the icon to use for a particular file type.
if, as others have said, you need the icon files, you'll need an icon extractor utility (google) to get them out of the exe. or rely on the stuff phos posted...

Where are custom icon's stored in Mountain Lion?

If I were to copy an image to my clipboard, and paste it over the icon in "get info", where is that image held? It doesn't seem to change the file in any way, it still gives the same CRC hash unless the metadata of the file doesn't matter in such an event. I checked all other hidden files in the same folder and non of them seem to be modified. The file in question is an .mkv type.
Thanks.

I'm not sure on higher OSXes, but in 10.5.8, I duplicated a file, changed the icon on the copy in Get Info, the copy now has a Rsrc fork added, which contaims the new icon, even though in reality it was the same icon as before...

The original is unchanged.
BTW, same Rsrc fork addition happens if you Get Info & choose just one file to open with other than the default app but don't click change All, which chages the Launch DB.
So I assume the MD5 only checks the Data Fork.

Where are the icons kept?

I'm trying to find out where the icons for the standard Mac applications can be found in order to modify them. There seems to be an icon folder in my library but it's empty. And a search for .ico only gave me some of the custom icons I have on my computer. Any idea where I can snatch those elusive .ico? There must be such a folder right?

Where are my icons when I first turn on my desktop ?

I think my icons quit showing up after I downloaded a update of firefox. Whenever...... I want my icons back on my desktop. Can you help?

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).<br />
If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.<br />
You can click the Maximize button at the top right to leave full screen mode or right click empty space on a toolbar and use "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press F11.<br />
Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"

Where are link icon pictures located? I'd like to back them up.

I bookmarked a lot of sites in my favorites folder. Each of the links in there has a little picture given to it by that website.
Whenever I uninstall Firefox and then later install a new version, all those bookmarked links lose the icons. The only way is to go to each site to recreate them but it's very time consuming.
Is there a way to make a backup of this?
I'm pretty sure it's not the file prefs.js because I tried it before and it didn't restore the link icons.

HT201272 Where are the icons?

I can't see any icons on the "purchased" page of the App Store on my iPad. However, I can tap into those apps from that page. How can I get the icons appear again?

Same exact problem here. Let me know if there's a solution!

I saturated all the available iPad (3rd. generation) screen space (home screens or desktop space) with apps, and the apps that got bumped out of the last screen, mysteriously disappeared? Where are those missing quick lauch app icons?

Running my 3rd generation iPad on iOS 7.0.4, I saturated all the available iPad screen space (which would be the 15 home screens or desktop worth of space) with apps, and the apps that got bumped out of the last screen space mysteriously disappeared. Where are those missing quick lauch app icons now? The apps are still installed and can be searched/accessed through the finder, but they no longer have a user friendly access. How can I solve this problem?

Hi Hexonxonx, thanks for trying to help, but next time please read the entire discussion, in oder to better comprehend what is being asked. The reason being is that your answer added nothing to what had already been mentioned.
Like I said, I was aware it was possible to access the apps through the finder, but the question revolved around how to recover the quick launch app icons for certain vanished apps.
Wow, kind of a snotty response to someone who was taking their own time to offer help. Whether you thought it was helpful or not, didn't deserve such an unkind retort. Maybe when you realize we all just users here trying to help others like you, who have issues and we don't get anything in return for the countless hours some people here spend offering that assistance, you'll maybe be a little less quick to be critical.
Just sayin.......
Oh and Meg offered the right answer. Put your Apps in Folders, which will create extra space for the apps which have disappeared.

Where are the toolbar icons located on a mac

I want to find out where the toolbar icons are found in the OSX.
The ones that I am refereing to are those found in finder windows at the top, that show things like the quickview icon etc.
I want to be able to make my own for scripts that I want to place in the bar, so if anyone knows where I can download a template etc I would be very grateful
Many Thanks
Matt

You create an alias in the top bar of the Finder window simply by dragging the source file onto the middle area of the bar. What you'll get for a script file I'm not sure, but if it's not to your taste it should be possible to change the icon of the source file in the 'get info' window and then re-drag it to the toolbar.
To remove items from there, you need to hold down the command key (⌘) while dragging to the desktop (same goes for sidebar).

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check you have an internet connection and that you are using the correct iTunes store location setting.
Try restarting the router.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

Pages 08 Template images -where are they saved?

I know Pages 08 does not have clip art but I like many of the pictures on the templates. I want to use some of the template images (like the cat.tiff or frog.tiff) on a blank document. Copying & pasting works but I'd rather be able to see all the template tiffs at once. Where are the template images(tiffs) located on my hard drive. Is there a specific iWork folder I can find them in?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
The images are "buried" in each template which is buried in the Pages application. You can find them by Control- or right-clicking on the Pages application > Show package contents > Contents > Resources > Templates & then the folder for the template category you want. Then Control- or right-clicking on the template icon > Show package contents > Contents where you will find the actual images.
Or you can just copy & paste from an open template.

In mail, how do you increase font sizes in a reply. Cannot find things like "underline", "italic" etc either. Where are they? Entourage was easier!!

Preferences/Compsing/set to Rich Text (only then you can use bold etc).
Then Rightclick the toolbar in Mail, and clcik Customize the toolbar.
Put the icons (with or without text) that you want on your toolbar.

Where are my important files located in Leopard 10.5?

I had an old file from apple titled "Where are my important files located?" which applied to 10.3. I could not find this same doc for 10.5. It had the location of all the important files for safari, mail, address book, etc. and was handy when I was mirgrating files or backing up or so forth. Is there now an updated file/doc for this with regards to 10.5 Leopard? Or is every important file's location still located in the same location? Thanks

Hi Teal,
I'm a big "foggy" on a lot of the OS X 10.3 "Panther" stuff but I think you'll find OS X 10.5 to be pretty similar in most regards.
As far as your user information, everything related to your user will be in the /Users/username location. The "Library" folder is probably the most important when it comes to application related data such as Safari, Mail, Address Book, iCal, etc. Some applications will have a folder directly inside the library folder (/Users/Username/Library/ApplicationName) and some will store data in the Application Support folder (/Users/Username/Library/Application Support/ApplicationName)
The important thing, is that all of your user data is stored in the /Users/Username location that will often be represented by a "House" icon when signed into that user.
Where it gets a little tricky, is some applications will store data in the /Users/Shared location and the /Library location. So if you ever do a total system migration there's a possibility you'll need to reinstall some applications. A Time Machine backup can assist with system migrations as it does a full and complete backup of your HD, including the User's home folder.
