OS X :: Using Photos As Folder Icon?

Jan 12, 2011

In Windows, you can use the photos within a folder as the folder icon. This makes it easy for visual artists to quickly find a work. Is there any way to do this on the Mac through a preference selection. I have hundreds of folders containing paintings and this was a helpful feature of windows.

I had to re-boot my MacBook Pro and when I turned it back on, all my photos were gone from iPhoto. I can see them in Finder in my Originals folder but I can't view them in iPhoto. If I try to import the pictures into iPhoto it tells me that the photos are already in iPhoto. How do I get all my originals so I can view them in iPhoto?

OS X :: How To Change Folder Icon

Apr 28, 2009

You know how in your users folder you have a lot of folders (named Downloads, Documents, Music, Movies, etc), they have icons on them. How can I attach one of them to a regular folder? And also changed a folder icon totally? I know for folder changing CandyBar can do it, was just hoping there is something more practical in the OS for that

OS X :: Transparent Icon For A Folder?

Jan 25, 2010

I currently have a .PNG icon, and I would like to assign it to a folder, so the folder icon would be this one (It's a snow flake, which at first glance, makes me think of Winter Quarter for school, aka, the folder name.)

I know how to assign the icon to the folder, without any problems. (Right Click-->Get Info-->And drag the icon to the Top Left). However, when the icon (which is transparent, I'm 120% sure) is displayed, the background is white. Normally this wouldn't be an issue, except the icon also appears on my Finder sidebar, since it's a folder I use a lot.

Using Icon Composer (/Developer/Applications/Utilities), I tried making it an icns, just to see what would happen. But, like most icons I've tried, this appears when I drag it. And I assure you, this is not the icon I'm trying to make the folder appear as:

So, my question is, how do I transform this transparent PNG icon to be transparent when it's assigned as an icon for a folder. Incase it matters, the icon is 256x256, with a 72 pixels/inch Resolution. I've tried playing with the sizes a lot, and I believe I read somewhere that the resolution actually matters for OSX to take the icon.

OS X Mavericks :: 10.9.1 - How To Get A Pic As Folder Icon

Dec 10, 2014

Working with OSX Mavericks 10.9.1. Can't update b/c I'm not an admin. 

We know how to make a new folder, and then change its icon by going into the Get Info panel, and dragging an object on the desktop into that upper section.  

When we do this with a jpeg, what happens is that the icon of the new folder becomes the default icon for a jpeg. Is there any way to change the folder icon into the thumbnail of that specific jpeg?

OS X :: Home Folder House Icon Gone?

Apr 2, 2010

I am using a Mac PowerBook running Leopard 10.5.8. Somewhere along the way my Home Folder (Little House) changed to just a folder on the dock. It has all the correct stuff in it but how can I change the icon back to the house? I am not permitted to drag the Home Folder (House) icon on to the dock. No big deal but wonder how it happened and how to correct this. I do notice sometimes for a split second the House Icon will appear but immediately switch back to a folder.

OS X :: Picture Folder Preview Icon?

Mar 14, 2008

Is there a way to get Mac OS X to show as the icon for folders containing pictures thumbnails of some of the pics from inside? There is a similar feature in Windows and it is very easy to see which folders contain which pictures if you have alot of different folders:

Note that the icons below are folders containing pictures

Or if this is impossible, is there a plug-in that will make it do this?

OS X :: How To Hide Custom Icon Folder

Aug 29, 2009

I've changed my stack folder from its default icon so I can recognize what's in it i.e. Microsoft Office 2008. But in order to do this, I've needed to create a folder and have it appear first i.e. 0_Icon_Microsoft_Office_2008 How do I hide this folder? Quite annoying to see this folder as it's sole purpose is for changing the icon pic. And if I hide it, will the system recognize this folder for custom icon purposes?

OS X :: Mac With 10.6.2 - Folder Icon Gone (Blank Space)

Feb 18, 2010

I'm running OS X 10.6.2 Snow Leopard (I also BootCamp to Windows XP on occasion if it matters) on a 20" Intel-based iMac (the first aluminum series when there was still an aluminum border around the screen). I have had it since mid-late of last year, and it has been running fine aside from a few common issues. The issue I've run in to now is that the folder icons have vanished from everywhere; the desktop, the dock, the finder, etc. They are replaced by either just a blank space, or the question mark. Upon closer inspection, diving into the system files, I discovered a number of the system applications are also lacking icons. Here is a screenshot to illustrate my point: [URL]

I have done a fair bit of crawling around and discovered a few methods to correct this, but to no avail. I have...
1. Simply tried restarting the computer, multiple times.
2. I have tried Force Quitting the Finder.
3. I have tried going into the Terminal and typing 'killall Finder'.
4. Deleting the various .plist files that have been suggested for similar problems.
5. I tried repairing the permissions through the Disc Utility
6. There was another very long command that was recommended be put into the Terminal as well, but I can't recall the command at the moment.

Another concerning fact about this whole mess is that I jumped into Candybar, more out of curiosity than anything, and the place where the Folder icons should have appeared doesn't even get displayed anymore, as though they don't exist. I'm not using any different programs for Spotlight, or anything of the nature. The most I've done is I have CleanMyMac that I run pretty regularly, and the last thing I installed before the issues began was iStat for the Dashboard. I know that my end all solution would be to just back up the files that I need and reinstall SL, but if there is a way to fix this without it coming to that, I would prefer to go that route. In part because I don't have the restore disc with me, stupid move on my part and I recognize that.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Can A Folder Have A 'conditional' Icon

Mar 23, 2012

I would like to have a folder's icon change, much the same way that the Trash icon does, depending on whether or not it has files inside of it. 

I have a folder on my desktop that I use as temporary storage to keep the desktop clean, but I don't want to forget that there are things in there as it is not intended as a long-term dumping ground.  What I would like to do is have the icon change when there are files in it, and revert when it does not.

Intel Mac :: Can Make A Playable Video DVD Then Add A Folder Of Jpeg Photos On The Same Disc

Jul 3, 2012

I'm able to make DVDs from iPhoto or IMovie & I've mastered IDVD's Menus pretty well. The DVDs play ok in DVD players to that's a plus. Now, what I want to do is somehow put folders of photos .... mainly those I've used in the slideshows...... if possible, on the same DVD. The idea is I can gift a DVD with a video/slideshow & if the recipient wants the photos they can insert DVD disc into their own computer (not necessarily Apple) & download the photos.

OS X :: Change File / Folder Icon Permanently

Oct 21, 2010

I know there are tons tutorials out there to change a file/folder's icon, mainly the "get info" method or third party software. But the moment I moved the file with custom icon to a removable media, say an external hard disk, the icon does not follow. And I can't change an icon to the files on the ext HDD as well through the "get info" method. I used to be from windows background, so I'll just set a thumbnail cover to the folder and it stays when burned to disc. (of course, the disc when opened on mac doesn't have the thumbnail cover. I didn't know before, since I didn't have a mac to check on)

Problem here is I'm hoping the custom icon can stick permanently and be seen on any removable media (CD/DVD/HDD) and viewable on a PC. I'm hoping there's a way to do so, so that I can put a representing image cover to the folders I burned for my projects. this way my lecturers can easily get an overview of the content inside each folder. And I'm not sure if these lecturers uses a mac on windows...so it'll be great if that icon is readable on both. I found out that on a fat32 external hdd, I can change the icon to the files in there, but not to a NTFS formatted hdd. Any way to work around for NTFS?

OS X :: Blinking Question Mark On Folder Icon

Dec 23, 2007

My Mac just made my heart jump. When I rebooted, it just showed a blank grey screen for about 15 seconds. It then showed a folder with a blinking question mark. I had seen this before on iBooks at my school, and knew it wasn't a good sign. I held down the power button, and rebooted. This time, it started up without a hitch.

OS X :: Stacks / Dock Folder Icon On MacBook

Mar 25, 2009

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.

I can easily change the icon of my HD, or any other application using CandyBar or LiteIcon but these prgrams do not allow me to change standard folders and that's mainly what I want to change.

CandyBar & LiteIcon even allow me to change the "applications" folder, "Documents" and "Downloads", etc... but I havent had any luck with the cliche standard blue folders.

IMac :: Flashing Folder Icon After Restart

Jun 21, 2010

I have a 24inch aluminum iMac running the latest versions of Snow leopard. It's a little over 2 years old. I can turn my computer on and all is fine, I can keep it running for hours on end and nothing is a problem. However, the moment I turn it off or perform a restart I get the flashing folder icon? It takes about 2 hours before I can boot the computer up again.

I've tried the following:Resetting PRAM and VRAM
Resetting the start up disk information through system preferences
Pulling an individual RAM module, booting up then trying the same with other RAM module (to check to see whether I have some dodgy RAM)

At first I thought it must be the hard drive, but why can I run my computer with no problems at all. I had it running for 2 days, and not a problem! But, the minute I turn it off, that's it, you can forget booting it up for at least another hour.
