What kind of image file are you trying to upload and how large is it?  I had trouble with one recently but was eventually able to make it work by reducing the size of the file to really small (around 12k) using an image editor.

Images for your icon should be smaller than 100 k. 

If you have an image and it is too large, you can try resizing down to a smaller size and then saving it as either a Gif or Jpeg. 

On Windows you can even do this with the Paint program that comes built in.  Open your image, select the Stretch option from the ''Image' menu and then you can choose a new size for the height ((vertical) and the width (horizontal).  For example you could type 50% or 30% for both - depending on how large your image is in the first place.  You want the final image to be no more than 1 to 2 inches tall and wide.

Then on the 'File' menu select save as.  If your image is a photograph select Jpeg.  Or if it is an illustration that has only a few colors Gif is probably the better choice.

Does anyone know what image edittor comes on a Mac?

On Linux you could download Gimp for free!  It is very powerful like Photoshop and could do this and much more.

or save it as a PNG.
i recomend png, better qaulty than Jpeg and Gif, and prety small.
my icon, has lots of colours... and... less than 3kb.(its in my sgnature)
