Hi Guys,

I really need your help with this one. I was changing all of my folder icons and for some strange reason the Downloads icon will not change and now wont even appear. Please see attached screenshot.

I have done the following to try and fix this problem:

1. Used LiteIcon and Candybar but both weren't able to fix the problem.

2. I went to /system/Library/coresevices/coretypes.bundle/contents/resources and the correct downloads icon does appear. It just wont appear in the Finder Window.

3. I have rebooted, logged in and even did a system cache clear and still nothing.

4. Tried to change it manually with the Command I and copy and paste with changing permissions. Nothing worked.


Can someone please tell me how to fix this problem.

Thanks,
 
I don't understand this obsession with changing icons. Sounds like people with too much time on their hands to me. Oh well.

I bet they'd all come back to factory defaults (oh no!) if you did an Archive & Install of the OS.

What! YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!

Hey, you did this to yourself...

(Thought I'd just get that out of the way.)
 
Anybody else able to help me? I just hate looking at the downloads folder with the missing icon image.

Thanks,
