Accidently deleted genre-icon

Hello,
I have accidently deleted the genre-icon for my classical music in iTunes. How can I get it back?
It can still be found in program files/itunes/itunes.resources

That's odd. A couple of thoughts:
The genre icons only appears in Grid View so can you go to the iTunes View menu and confirm that that's what's been selected.
If so, can you check that you haven't accidentally or otherwise deleted the classical files from your iTunes Library or changed their genres. Put another way, are there still Classical entries in your Library, listed as such in List View?
If so, is there any reference at all to the Classical genre in Grid View, such as an empty square labelled Classical, or is there no mention of it at all?
And finally, did the Classical icon in your iTunes.Resources folder happen to get renamed? Mine goes by genre-classicT.jpg so I'm guessing yours should be the same.

Accidently Deleted Mail Icon & can't get mail back

Hi There, Mistakenly all the icons on the desktop have been deleted except the hard drive icon. Now I lost the ability to access my mail program. Had an icon in the dock but it didn't work. It didn't bounce or anything. I tryed to drag it to the desk top & it let me, then it disappeared from the screen. Also lost my calculator short cut on the desktop. Please, any suggestions, I would be grateful.

That's what I figured about the mail. I've also found that I deleted the calculator & I think a pic decompression program for opening pics. But that's minor.
I am happy to report having just check the HD & 20.7 GB is free. I'm in the middle of backing up 992 pics to disc & getting them off the HD to free up even more so it looks like I'm good to go for a reinstall & do an archive.
That sounds like plenty - over 50% free gives the OS plenty of room to play with.
I found out also why I think mail & the other things got deleted. I found that I never made an alias of mail or calc & dragged them from applications to the desktop. I one time before deleted the icon for mail & I dragged it from the Apps folder to get it working again hence when the desktop was accidently deleted there went the mail & calc.
Oops! This is also bad because the apps may not get updated when they should by system/security updates. It's generally a bad idea to move the Apple applications even into sub-directories of /Applications, never mind out of the folder altogether. One thing you might consider is doing your everyday stuff as a standard user rather than as an admin. That should prevent you doing things like that by accident as you'd have to authenticate first. I work from an administrator account because I would just find it too annoying otherwise but there are definite downsides to doing so, including security implications. (There are some things you can do to mitigate the security risks but unless you really need administrative access a lot, you might prefer to run as a standard user.) It also means you have a "clean" account for running Software Update which may be an advantage.
I'm going to try the reinstall & I'll report back the results.
Sounds good! It is still a good idea to backup files you can't afford to lose - even if you plan to archive & install and choose the options to preserve user settings etc., something can always go wrong. But you know that, right?
You sure you don't work for mac? You sound like your very well versed on this stuff.
If I am working for Apple, I sure want to know why they aren't paying me! I'm not especially knowledgeable - there are lots of people on these forums who not only have training (which I lack completely) but vastly more experience. Now doesn't that inspire you with confidence in my advice?!
Can't thank you enough for the back & forth Dialog.
You're very welcome - and thanks for saying so and offering to report back. I like to know whether something I've suggested has helped or not.

Welcome to Apple Discussions:
Exactly how did you delete it?
Not knowing what computer or OS you are using, it's not possible to provide any help. We need more info and a filled-in profile.
You can always restore the system from your backup.

I have accidently deleted the App store icon off my home page, how do I get it back, do I need to re down load?

I have accidently deleted the App store icon off my home page, how do I get it back do I nave to re download??

Swipe through your screens and swipe to the left of your Home screen. Type in App Store in the search field. It's a permanent pre installed Apple app so it can't be deleted.
If you can't locate it on the iPad for some reason, connect the device to your computer. Right or control click the iPad under Devices left side of the iTunes window then click: Restore from backup

I accidently deleted the settings icon on my mac

i think i accidently deleted the settings icon on my mac is there anyway of getting it back without going to an apple store?

Now to worry the icons in the Dock are only aliases.
So if you go into Applications and find System Preferences and drag that back to the Dock that will create another one for you.

Menu Script Icon accidently deleted... make it come back

I accidently deleted the script icon from the menu bar. How do I make it come back?

Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, enter /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras/ as the path, and double-click the item you want on the menu bar.

Ah! I accidently deleted a Dock Icon. How do I get it back?

I just deleted the icon that comes as a default (I guess) and its right next to the trash icon and it starts up the Mac OS X Website. It looks like a little slinky, coil, or spring and its silver. Oh man...I don't know where it went! How can I get it back? I remembered it poofed away.

All that icon was was a shortcut to the Apple OS X page. You can get it back by dragging the favicon (the little picure icon in your browser's address bar) to where you want it to be on the dock.
You can put any URL on your dock like this. I deleted it right away myself, but if you want it back, the page linked to is right HERE.

I accidently deleted my Itunes library and emptied the trash. I do have Time Machine. Can I use that to restore it? I went into Time Machine and couldn't click on the "Music" folder where my Itunes library was stored, even on backups earlier than when I deleted it. Am I doomed? How can I restore my library?
Ouch - a double mistake.
Select the music folder in Finder before running TM and see if that gets you there.
If not, then double-click the TM volume icon on the desktop and migrate down to a folder that has a recent date on it that is before your accident.
Click the arrow on the left of that folder name and you will see Macintosh HD
Click the arrow on that directory
Click the arrow on Users
Click the arrow by your name
Click the arrow by Music
What you see is what you got.
Take it from there.
Don't do anything more than copy a file from the TM backup. *Do not* move or disturb it in any way. The copy may not be the entire set of items you want, but if they are there you should be able to retrieve them the proper way, using Finder and TM normally

Accidently deleted Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 from WindowsXP

I accidently deleted Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 from my WindowsXP at work. The thing is, there are still Adobe Acrobat Professional 7.0 icons. The icons look like a piece of paper with symbols on them. When attempt to open, it cant open it. I tried a system recovery and was not successful. After a day or researching, I still haven't found a solution. If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it! Thx

The obvious answer is to reinstall Acrobat, but I imagine you have ruled that out for some reason. Can you say why?
Also, this is the InDesign forum. If you have questions specific to a program, you will get better help in that program's forum.

Accidently deleted Market app..can it be reinstalled?

Has this ever happened to anyone? I accidently deleted my Market app.. I've emailed the customer service but haven't received a reply as yet. Can this be reinstalled?

There is no way you can delete the Market application from an Android phone. It is a system application. You can delete the icon from your homescreen. The Android Market was recently rebranded to the Google Play Store. Look for a Play Store icon in your application drawer.

[Solved] Deleted trash icon in dolphin, how to get it back?

Hey, I accidently deleted the trash can symbol in the "places" sidebar of dolphin. Now I wonder how you can restore that, because even if you add a new entry leading to the trash, there will be no option that allows you to empty the trash via that icon.
I used that icon quite a lot and would like it back. As for now I have the trash widget in my bar, but I hope that is only temporary and I can restore the icon in dolphin. So, does anybody know how?

1. Open Dolphin
2. Press Ctrl + L and go to trash:/
3. Drag the trash icon closest to the 'trash:/' text into Places (it was probably placed above the root folder)
4. Right click and choose Edit ''
5. Rename to Trash and choose the user-trash icon in System icons: Places

Editing genres.plist to add custom genre icons

I found a tutorial that shows how to add a few lines of code to the genres.plist file and thereby change the icon for the genre within iTunes.
I tried it for the 'Folk' and 'Alternative' genres, and it worked fine.
But when I tried it for 'Punk Rock' or 'Grunge' it didn't work. In fact, the 'Punk Rock' genre reverted to the icon for 'Alternative' and the 'Grunge' icon used a default album cover from that genre.
I'm guessing this has something to do with the fact that the two genres which worked are default iTunes genres, whereas the latter are custom user-made genres.
Anyone have any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Ok. I made two changes and the results worked.
First, I guessed that maybe there was only room for so many genre icons so I deleted two that I'd never use from the genres.plist file. Then I noticed that near the end of the code, the alternative.jpg was being used for a variety of other genres, so I deleted that altogether.
I don't know if any of that was redundant or not, but as I said, it worked.
