OS X :: How To Hide Custom Icon Folder
Aug 29, 2009I'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 :: Change File / Folder Icon Permanently
Oct 21, 2010I 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?

Sep 23, 2009I have a couple of Windows systems on my home network, and it gets a bit confusing when I've got 2 mounted volumes on my desktop both called "Users", as it's not possible to see which one relates to which PC.
Is it possible to use a custom icon for a particular volume so I can visually differentiate between the two? If so, how do I do it?
And no, changing the name of the Windows share is not an option!

Applications :: Any Way To Apply Info In ITunes To Change Original File Names
Mar 16, 2009All of my movies on my hard drive have crazy file names. I just rename the info from within itunes. I am wondering if there is a way to apply the info in itunes to change the original file names. So that I don't have to change them all manually on my hard drive if I want them in some sort of order. Something like 'apply itunes info to original filename'. I am pretty sure it isn't possible but thought it might be worth a try.

OS X :: Looking For Custom Folder Icons In Dock?
Jul 27, 2009I am customizing my brand new iMac 24". Just switching from M$! I changed the default icon of my folder and I put it on the Dock. Everything fine, but the dock seems to adopt the icon of what it is INSIDE the folder, not the custom icon of the containing folder.
I wonder if I can force Dock to respect the custom icon of the folder (when there are several documents inside the folder, Dock uses the standard icon - not the new, custom one).

Jun 22, 2012I don't like the way that finder arranges my files and folders. I have tried all the arrangements and none of them "flow" for me. What I would like to do is to be able to put my files / folders where I want them. I like to group similar folders together and put the most important files/folders at the top. Now this isn't an exhaustive list of how I want to arrange them. Its more about where my eyes go and what I want to see. I am a new mac user so maybe this is a really simple fix that I don't know about.

OS X Mavericks :: (10.9.4) Can Font Book Load Fonts From Custom Folder?
Aug 29, 2014I would like to ask is it possible to load fonts into the Font Book of a MacBook Pro from a custom folder location, not from the default one?
Why I need this is because I work as a Web Designer and I would like to share all fonts I use with my design team, and when I add a new font or some of them adds it to be available for all of us. Right now what I do is we have a shared folder on Google Drive and every friday we update it by Copy & Pasting our fonts into that folder and then after all of us has done this we go in and Copy & Paste back all of the content, that way we keep our fonts synced.
What I was thinking is that if we can load the fonts directly from the shared folder would work really well to keep it in sync...

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Why Does File Icon Change When Copying File To Another Mac
May 21, 2012I have a disk image .dmg file, and chage the icon by highlighting the file in Finder, then press Command-I. Then I'll copy and past a new icon in the file information dialog box. I can then see the new icon in the finder, and also the icon for this file in the dock changes. Great. Then I'll rsync the .dmg file from one Mac to another, and the icon reverts to the default icon for .dmg files. Is there any way to make the icon change stick, when copying the file to another Mac?

OS X Yosemite :: Can't Change Icon Of Hard Drive On MacBook Pro
Dec 5, 2014I changed the icon of my 2TB Toshiba hard drive when I still had Mavericks on my Macbook Pro 13-inch (Mid-2012). I tried changing the icon on the same hard drive on Yosemite and change it to my new icon (and it changed to the new one), however, as soon as I ejected my hard drive and accessed it again, it was still using the same previous icon, and not the new one.
I've tried different methods such as deleting the icon then ejecting the hard drive and when I re-accessed it, it would have the default folder icon for when it doesn't have a custom icon. I would then change the default folder icon to the new icon that I wanted to use (and it would change to the new icon), ejected the hard drive and then accessed it again, however when I did, it would still use the previous icon that I originally used! I've also I tried restarting the laptop while the hard drive was connected and it still wouldn't change. Restarting the laptop while the hard drive was ejected also did not work.
I'm not sure if it's something related to the OS change or some permissions on the hard drive itself.
