I have a stack with all my movies in it unfortunately the icons are of the 1st od frame, which for most is black, in the folder i can turn off icon preview which reverts them back to their custom icons (the movie poster).
Does anyone know a way to turn off icon preview in stacks or just a stack preferably?
Right now, in my Stacks area I have my Firefox Downloads, Music, Movies, Pictures, and Documents. Most of them have a folder as the first item, so unless I mouse over them, I don't know which one is which. I had those folders have different icons in Tiger, but I'm not sure how to go about changing them now.
I downloaded a folder icon so I can use it on my dock. I used one that looks different from the usual blue folder. When I shut down the computer or restart it goes back to the bland blue folder. My questions is how can I keep the folder that I downloaded?
I have lost the stacks icon from the dock...How do I get my documents to open in a stack that displays the fan style and not individually across the dock...I have tried to create a folder, but the documents are not going in that folder they are still lining up along the dock..
I recently replaced my white MacBook (OS X 10.5) with a new MacBook.
In the old dock: I had created a folder within the HD called "launcher"--so it would appear at the top of the list. I created a custom icon for the folder, created an alias on the desktop. I then put the alias in the dock. When I would click on the folder it would open like stacks.
New dock: If I do the above process, the folder opens as a finder window--no more stacks. If I pull the folder directly to the dock, without creating the alias, the folder opens as a stack, but the icon is gone and replaced with the generic folder icon.
Is there a way to have a custom icon and have the stack/folder open as stacks? I don't like the option of putting a image file as the first item in the folder because then the "icon" that appears is smaller and in front of the folder I hate.
New to Macs and struggling a bit with the high res/ average eye sight combo.
I've managed to get most of my apps text sizes ok for me to see (though FF skews things up a bit), but I find my toolbar icons and text size to be a bit small for me.
Two main apps cause me grief. Mail and Office. I can't seem ti find anywhere where I can increase the size of the toolbar icons. In mail i can use Large icons, but that doesn't affect the toolbar. In Office (mainly Word/Excel) I can't seem to find anything at all.
Can anyone identify this toolbar icon that has suddenly appeared on my Mac? Clicking/Right clicking does nothing and it doesn't seem to be one of my Login Items. If anyone can identify what it is so I can uninstall it?
I just did this accidentally and I'm unsure if it's new, or whether I've never noticed it before but I dragged something, by mistake onto the toolbar of Finder, and it made an icon for it! I've tried it with apps, pdf etc.
Is there a spelling and grammar checking icon for the toolbar around that I can use in mac mail and iworks9? Neither of these programs provide one. The os is 10.6.2.
I have 12 different icons in my toolbar. 11 of them are useful. Of course the one I don't want, is the only one I don't know how to turn off. Why must apple scatter the option for "show in toolbar" across the system prefrences labrynth? How do I get rid of the device sync icon?
Similar to "exclamation" mark that others have seen in the wifi icon in the toolbar, I am getting an "X" within wifi icon and cannot add wifi in settings.
I am running a mid-year 2011 MacBook Air with 1.7 Intel Core i5 / 4GB ram / 128GB of storage.
Info: MacBook Air (13-inch Mid 2011), OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)
I purposely deleted the Mail application from my Macbook. Went into Finder and moved the app icon to trash can. I thought this would do the trick, but now it randomly shows up on the toolbar but won't open. How do I get rid of this thing?
With the last few versions of Safari, including 5.1.7, the toolbar has not been customizable. When right clikcing or using menu the toolbar window does not appear. Clicking any icon on toolbar removes that element. This suggests the toolbar is in an edit mode. Only a restart will reset toolbar. Running snow leopard. All updates added To OS.
Ever since I have had my Mac, which I bought only in March, I've been totally baffled by the Stacks facility.
I put documents straight from the desktop onto a folder onto hard disc - it appears to have done this. I then check it a few days later - no document in folder and I then have to panickily check the Stacks to see if a copy is in there.
It usually is, so I then have to start again -drag doc onto desktop and then put it into folder and hope the darned thing stays in the folder this time.
I have somehow managed to install something called InstallMac on my Mac and can't find a way to get rid of it. It has taken over Safari and will only let me use its search engine. How can I remove this without anti-malware software?
Is there a uninstall software section like on Windows?
My sound output preference is set to mute and is highlighted in light gray so that the preference can't be changed. Also, simultaneously, the sound control in the toolbar is gone and is replaced with an eject symbol that responds "SuperDrive F12" when clicked on.
