The difference between an icon and active application is that an icon is a small image seen on a computer screen and it represents a program but is not running. An active application is one that is running in the foreground of a computer.

Why cant you remove the itunes icon for another icon?

Is this iTunes icon in the dock? Grab it and drag it out of the Dock, and it will go away. Then drag the icon of the application you want to use into the Dock. If you mean the application icon...that's fixable too, at least on a Mac. Create or get the new icon you want. Copy it. Find iTunes, which is in the Applications folder, and do Get Info--command-I. Click on the icon at the top of the info box, and Paste the new icon in. Very easy to do.
