Changing Mac Folder Icon I'm running the latest version of Mavericks and I can't seem to change the folder icons. I've gone to get info and pasted it in whilst being clicked on the folder image but nothing happens.

I've only had this iMac a few weeks. To set it up I used migration assistance, ever since doing that I've been unable to change the folder image. Everything I've tried so far has not worked.
What you want to do is get the image that you are wanting to change the icon of your image. right click on the folder icon, and click "Get Info," it will load the information, and at the top, it will show the folder icon as it does here.



What you do is drag the new icon to where the folder icon next to School is. It will appear with a + icon next to your image, and let go. It will then change the icon of your folder.
