For the life of me I have tried all kinds of stuff watched tutorial video and tried every different possible way to change my icon from the bland while one to something cooler. I am on mavericks and when I go into info and drag and image or if I paste it in the icon area. it just shows up with a generic ".PNG" Graphic. I changed the file type to .icns and the graphic I was trying to use changed in appearance but alas I cannot get it to go into the darn flash drive where I can see it. Help! Please! its driving me crazy!

I was able to do it on another flash drive I have. The on I am trying to do it on is a 128 gb Corsair survivor

I figured it out on my own but will leave this up for others. Apparently if you have it formatted in EXfat it will not allow you to change the icon. I wanted to be able to use it on both windows and mac environments as I am in IT, but I guess I can't have it both pretty and have it work on both systems :mad:
