Proper App Icon Not Showing Up Mac Pro
![Not Not](/uploads/1/2/6/8/126886151/512445837.jpg)
Okay, I'm very new to Mac, as I only recently got a G4 powerbook and am now in the process of transferring files from my old PC.
I noticed that when I call up the Info panel on my harddrive on my desktop and tried to change the icon to a pic that I like, the icon doesn't show up properly. Instead of displaying the image that I pasted over, it showed up as a generic jpeg/gif icon instead.
I've gone hunting online for tips, and most of the sites that came up mentioned desktop rebuilding, but unfortunately, I'm running on Tiger, with no Panther installed, and the help section suggested installing a Mac OS 9 folder on my G4.
So I'm posting here to ask for alternatives to working around the problem; so can I get the desktop icons to show up right without having to install Classic onto Tiger and doing a desktop rebuild? If I can, how do I do that? If I can't, and desktop rebuilding is the only way to go, how do I do that and what are the chances of my Mac crashing on me? Btw, I've also read somewhere that desktop rebuilding may or may not help. Can someone enlighten me please?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice given.
In need of help,
Wenn.
