Thought for the Dazed

I've had to give up that Distance Learning course as I was having trouble seeing the teacher.

Nearly Perfect

I've got the Mac just about how I want it. Everything works, I've got four versions of Visual Studio on it and most of the data that I need. Except for one thing.

The icon for iTunes is broken. It just displays the standard folder one, rather than the proper picture.  I've rebuilt the icon cache and spent much too long (i.e. more than five minutes) trying to fix it.

Oh well, according to some religions anything perfect is an offence to God. So I guess that makes my machine as perfect is it could be.

I should have a fix for you... Right click (it's Mac I know) the iTunes icon and click show in finder, then highlight iTunes. The press Option Command I to bring up the inspector (same as get info from rt click).

Now you should see the inspector window with all the details for the iTunes alias (shortcut in windows speak)

There is a big version of the icon towards the bottom, but at the very top there is a small version.

Click that once and it should highlight in blue.

Now press the BACKSPACE arrow - it will return the icon to the default Apple Assigned one.



Isn't OS X a wonderful thing?
