Good morning, I am really new to Mac ( just got my macpro last week) and I have been changing icons succesfully. I don't know how it happened exactly, but my trash icon located in the dock is not there anymore. I can still open it, and if I put my mouse over it it says ''trash'', but somehow the icon is not there. Can somebody help me with this? I would really appreciate it.
Got a tip for us?

It sounds to me as though the Trash icons have been deleted. Go to:
Macintosh HD > System > Library > CoreServices > right click CoreTypes.bundle, select Show Package Contents > Contents > Resources
This folder will show all your system icons. Look for the icons titled FullTrashIcon.icns and TrashIcon.icns
If they're not there, just find a copy online or something and drag them to that folder with those file names and extensions. If they are there but for some strange reason aren't working, you can download a program called LiteIcon that will let you change your Trash icon.
