System Icons are gone

A lot of my icons are missing, applications folder, desktop folder, macintosh hd, stuff like that. I noticed it right after I updated to 10.6.4 but it could have been sooner. Anyone know why this is happening or how I can fix it?

Yeah Ive done that. I Ran the disk utility and it said my disk can not be verified and needs to be repaired but I dont know how to do that

    Hello jo90733,
    I would recommend reinstalling Mountain Lion to replace the missing/damaged components of these applications. While the process shouldn't affect any data (images, music, etc) you have on the system, it's always a good idea to have a backup in place prior to reinstalling.

    OS X Mountain Lion: Reinstall OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10763
    Important: You need to be connected to the Internet to reinstall OS X.
    Choose Apple menu > Restart. Once your Mac restarts (and the gray screen appears), hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys.
    If you’re not connected to the Internet, choose a network from the Wi-Fi menu (in the top-right corner of the screen).
    Select Reinstall OS X, and then click Continue.
    Follow the onscreen instructions. In the pane where you select a disk, select your current OS X disk (in most cases, it is the only one available).
    To start the installation, click Install.
    Cheers,

  • IPad 2, ios7, all but 4 random icons are gone.

    Overnight, all but 4 of the iPad icons are gone, including Settings, Safari and all the default icons that came with the iPad. The device is not jail broken or modified. Tried a reset (home/off) and 2 icons came back - texting, and a random game - so now I have six. Tried searching the iPad and they're not there. I had the iPad backed up to my PC (Win 7), which of course due to Murphy's law was recently wiped by my IT department (and they also nuked iTunes that wasn't supposed to happen) and the iPad weirdness happened before I had a chance to reload iTunes on my PC. Any thoughts? The device has never been dropped or harmed. Any advice would be most appreciated. Thank you.

    Thanks!  I was just figured this out myself too.  I was moving the app around and accidentally move one app over another and then it asks to create a folder name.  Wow, I wasn't think that possible but this is way too easy.  I can completely manage to organize my apps in my PB.  Hmmm...I better dig into the user guide for more tricks.  I love OS 2.0 now.   Way to go RIM...

  • Uninstalled firefox and ALL sortcut icons are gone off my laptop..HOW do I get them back?

    I installed firefox and had problems with my laptop running slow so I uninsalled it andnow all icons are gone

    Which icons are gone?
    If you uninstalled Firefox and removed your personal data then you have lost the Firefox Profile Folder with the bookmarks and other personal data.

    If you do not have a backup then that data is lost.

  • HT4061 I did an update n now all my icons are gone?

    I was doing an update and now all my icons are gone.  The phone is charged and has a signal.  I can change the volume but it doesn't receive calls and I can't seem to shut it off.  Help!

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone restarts itself, usually about 10 seconds time. If this does not help, I would try to restore the iPhone. On computer open current iTunes, connect iPhone to computer with Lightning Cable. Hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode. Then click the Restore button of iTunes. If there is problem after this, make Genius reservation or arrangements for service and take or send to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

  • After Yosemite upgrade, my reading list icons are gone.

    After Yosemite upgrade, my safari reading list icons are gone. I know this is a tiny matter, but finding stuff with a pic is sure easier than reading the list over and over. Any help? I've done the "search" help thing to no avail. I'm not all mr. tech when it comes to apple, but this can't be rocket science. Maybe brain surgery?  Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
    Dave

    Did anyone ever answer this because I agree that it is  a lot easier when looking for a certain site you need ? But strangely some icons do still show in the reading list but not all of them, just a few. Any suggestions ??

  • Blackberry 8330 icons are gone from display, no menu, nothing. Help

    As of 10/10/2011 all my icons are gone from my main display screen EXCEPT Applications (which doesn't open anything if I click on it--in fact I then lose that icon as well) and the Profiles icon.  A hard reset doesn't do anything to fix the problem.

    Hello,
    There is no Autoloader to remove from your device...Autoloaders are apps on the PC that load, to the device, a specific OS package. But the Autoloader itself is not resident on the device at all. So, your remedy would most likely to be to use a different AutoLoader for a different OS level and see if that does not display this same problem for you.
    You did not reveal the specific OS level you are discussing...please note that if it is anything beyond the presently officially released levels (e.g., a "leak"), then it is not supported and is also against the Ts and Cs of this site to be discussed here.
    Good luck!

  • Launchpad icon are gone!

    Hello,
    Since I used CleanMyMac 2 for the first time, some icon are missing in the launchpad. I can see only the names and I can click where they should be and the application opens. In my applications folder nothing is missing. But why are some icons gone? Do this have something to do with CleanMyMac? I am running Mavericks.
    Cheers,

    It has something to do with the desktop picture. I know, that sounds crazy, but hear me out.
    One of the ".db" files in the dock folder was "desktoppicture.db." When I deleted it and rebooted the Dock, it reverted my desktop picture to the Hallowen image I had months ago. I've changed it at least twice since.
    I suspect it has something to do with the way Launchpad overlays the desktop picture, without the icons/dock.menubar, etc. It must reference the image itself, instead of simply overlaying the Finder.
    Could changing the desktop (especially often) maybe freak out whatever references are kept to the correct background image in Launchpad, thereby throwing off the whole screen draw?
    To reset the Launchpad icons (and possiby your desktop!) 1) Go to ~/LIbrary/Application Support/Dock, and delete the files there. Then open Terminal, and enter "killall Dock" (capped just like that, no quotes).
