[Ti] Changing format

If the last idea [Using Get Info, which i referred to as 'Show' Info] 
doesn't work, launch Graphic Converter, go to preferences, and under 
the heading called "Open" make sure the box called "Detect only clear 
formats" is UN-checked, thenclose your prefs.

Then, under the "File" menu select "Convert..." . You'll see the 
Convert window with three columns: Source on the left, Destination on 
the right, and commands in the middle.

On the left side of the 'Convert' window, use the button to browse to 
the folder containg the 'bad' icons. All of the files will appear in 
the list. Next to that list is an arrow pointing to another list with 
a button at the top. Select the same folder in that list. Below the 
'destination' list is a button that is labeled Dest.Format. Select 
JPEG/Jif and hit 'Convert' in the middle column.

That should do it. But I'm curious, did you try dragging a file to 
your GC icon? If you did, and it didn't open, you should have been 
given the chance to alter your "Detect only clear formats' pref, at 
that point.
