OK. Again, I need to see the message in the log...
|
Here it is:
| 07:31:56 AM | Info | ...ACTION: Running shell script set_icon | 07:31:56 AM | Info | ......COMMAND => Invoking site customization script: /Volumes/iMac G5/Users/parents/set_icon | 07:31:56 AM | Info | Restoring icon for Backup... | 07:31:56 AM | Error | cp: /Users/parents/Volume Icons/Backup.VolumeIcon.icns is a directory (not copied). |
OK. Please remove the file that's there already, and run the copy *from* the destination to this folder again. Something's gone weird with the file that's there, and the system thinks it's a folder (or it really is a folder).
|
Oops !!
The system thinks right: it was a folder. I copied the icon onto it. So, I replaced the folder with a file, and launched the copy. The error message and the red colour of the 3rd step has diasappeared. The icon keepes changing.

Does the icon file have to be a special file, or any file is OK ?
|
OK... and you're certain the icon file is correct?
|
It has to be a real icon file. The best thing to do is to "harvest" it from the volume after you set it, as I described in a previous response, above...

I have been searching a lot, but could not find the message you mentionned. I still do not know how to "harvest" efficiently. Could you give me the address of this message, please. I think that your patient is now almost cured, Dave. Sorry to bother you with this tiny problem. Yours. A french harvester. |
It's this one: http://www.shirt-pocket.com/forums/s...2&postcount=12.

I have found that the HD icon is in the ".VolumeIcon.icns" invisible file at the root of the backup HD. Couldn't we use it instead ? In case you need it, the end of the log: | 10:32:18 PM | Info | ...ACTION: Running shell script set_icon | 10:32:18 PM | Info | ......COMMAND => Invoking site customization script: /Volumes/iMac G5/Users/parents/set_icon | 10:32:18 PM | Info | Restoring icon for Backup... | 10:32:18 PM | Info | PHASE: 4.

Weird ! :eek:
The folder that you told me to create: "/Volumes/iMac G5/Users/parents/Volume Icons" is now empty... Is SD going to erase my whole HD, little by little ??!! :confused: :p :p |
That *is* what you're trying to use, Harry. But you need to copy it and rename it to the name I suggested. If the folder is empty, it's because ".VolumeIcon.icns" is invisible (that's what the leading dot is)...
|
OK, Dave.
So, I went to see inside the Folder with File Buddy: "/Volumes/iMac G5/Users/parents/Volume Icons" The icon file was there and invisible (see its name): "/Volumes/iMac G5/Users/parents/Volume Icons/Backup.VolumeIcon.icns" but : - the name was the same, as the one you previously told me to set - no dot at the beginning - the custom icon still was there - the file was invisible to the Finder, but not set as invisible in File Buddy Anyway, - I copied it - replaced the invisible file, by the copied one, as you said - launched the SD backup - I tore again my remaining hairs, watching the icon lost :( - and sent the log to you. Please Dave lets find a solution before my nervous breakdown. ;) |
I have restarded the mac, and repaired the permissions.
The backup disk has now lost the icon it previously got, from the master disk. It has now a generic HD icon. :eek: |
It sounds like it can't find the icon, or something, Harry. I'm just not sure what to suggest at this point...
