Hi Pat,

I have changed the HD icon on all my previous computers, iMacs, iBooks, PowerBook, MacMini & my latest MacBook Pro with no problems using the instructions I posted to WAMUG.

Are you sure when you go to edit > paste the copied icon onto your HD icon, that you have selected the little 'MacHD' icon at the top of the 'Get Info' window first.
You cannot paste until it is selected.

Cheers,
Ronni

Hi, Ronni,

There seem to be a few icons that this doesn't work on (maybe important 'core' icons?). I changed the HD icon on my G4 desktop machine, but try as I might, I can't change the HD icon on the PowerBook.

Cheers,
Pat

hi not working -edit-paste to chaning it not showing in black to changing it the copy is working not the paste

Believe me Glenn it works if you follow the instructions.

When you click on your Mac HD on your desktop to highlight it, then in Finder > File > Get Info In the 'Get Info' window, click the Mac HD icon that you want to change and then Edit > Paste and it will replace your MacHD icon to the new iMac one you copied.

To select the icon you wish to use:
        1.  Click on the icon you wish to use
        2.  Click on Finder – Edit – Copy

To change the old icon to the new icon:
        1.  Click on the icon for the application you wish to change
        2.  Click on Finder – File – Get Info
        3.  In the Get Info window, click on the icon you wish to change
        4.  Click on Finder – Edit – Paste

Cheers,
Ronni
