App Icon issues

I have a new 3GS. Is anyone else with a 3GS or just OS 3.0 having issues with app icons not matching their application. I "purchased" a free app and it used an old icon from another program so I didn't recognize the app for a while. Also the AT&T app suddenly lost it's icon and is a blank gray spot on my display. What's the dillio?

Hmm, for what it's worth, I have the following mixed apps/icons on the iphone screens
1st screen:
Pano has Translator icon
2nd screen: (posted above)
3rd screen:
Ambiance has Pixelpipe icon
4th Screen:
Air Sharing has Evernote icon
Translator has Facebook icon
5th screen:
Quicken app has Bento icon
Amazon.com app has RingCentral icon
Pageonce Assistant has AirSharing icon
I think the last once I installed was TweetDeck, and 12 of the apps (forget which ones) were updated yesterday. I'm just gonna sit tight, read the text for the apps to remember which to use and ignore the icons. It's almost like an interactive puzzle. I suppose some might try to pass this off as an undocumented feature.

Having a problem with Ipad2 IOS 7 itunes moving app icons

When trying to move or reposition app ICONS in iTunes for my iPad2 it is extremely sluggish or won't let me select a home screen or icon to work with.
Sometimes all the home screens "disappear" from the window.
Did not have this problem with previous iTunes version 11.x.x before updating to the new 11.1 iTunes and IOS 7 on my devices.
My iphone 4s with IOS 7 does not have this problem, but is a little sluggish.
Running Windows XP on a very fast PC.
Thanks

While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
The other issue doesn't ring any bells.

Unable to Open Images in Bridge CS3 and Continuing Icon issues!

Re: Icon issues in Bridge CS3 and also with Photo Downloader that have never been there before.
So, these are the issues. Just one of the folders that previously would show thumbnails now only shows DNG icons, and none will open in Photoshop to let me work on previous image. Issue #2 - can't download images with Photo Downloaders - both my wife's Canon G9 only shows CR2 icons, and my Nikon D300 only shows NEF icons - neither of these issues had appeared before or been an issue. Third issue. None of my Bridge folders - even those with regular thumbnail immages- will open now - get a message that says words to the effect of Photoshop doesn't recognize this type of file. Computer is a Mac, with OS 10.5.8
I recently tried to make more room on HD, so must have taken some critical files/commands out by accident.
Thanks for your time and previous suggestions - still not working. I'm sure that in trying to correct things have made things even worse- as may be noticed by the two snapshots I've attached. The first is one from a library from my user section. The second library image is from my hard drive. Hopefully you and others aren't laughing or crying too much over what you see - redundantcy, etc! All of my energies have focused on taking photos, obviously none to proper setup/use of organizing things on my Mac. But after the laughing has stopped, any help will be tremendously appreciated - am most anxious to getting back to working with and saving images.

Thanks in advance

First of all, if you don't know much about how applications work inside of the OS, its wise to not look in the application folder(s). Deleting anything here can make your apps go haywire. If this happened, then you are best to 1)unregister photoshop, 2) uninstall your entire suite. 3) reinstall the suite and finally 4) reregister photoshop.
All images/textures/photo's including dng, cr2 and nef files need to be stored in your pictures folder and no where else, unless you're an intermediate user on your OS. In your pictures folder you can create folders for organizing the pictures whether by location, season's, time, or file format.
Then when you back up you can just drag a copy of the files to another drive including cd's or dvd's.
This will make sure you don't accidently delete important app files.
All this said, my OS of choice is Windows, so if anything does not sound right, thats why.
Hopefully this helps...

Is it possible to have two app icons for the same app?

I work with Assistive Technologies that enable people with various disabilites to use computing devices, such as the iPad. Some people do not have the fine motor skills to precisely tap the intended app icon. If I had a page full of app icons that launched the same app then I might have a workaround.
Thanks in advance,

Mike,
At the moment, no. The app store won't let you re-download an app already installed, and they all come in single icons.
The accessibility settings enable a zoom feature, but if your clients have difficulty tapping an app, they may have issues using three fingers simultaneously to zoom in/out.
There is a voice ability, but I've just spent the last 10 minutes playing with it and successfully called everyone in my phonebook (And i only wanted to open iBooks)
If you turn the iPad landscape you still have the same amount of apps on the page, just spaced out a little more, giving more margin for error/ But this still requires the same 'touch space area' to activate the app.
This might be something Apple could look at, with pressure from users such as yourself and your clients.
Hope this helps, even though it;s not really a solution

Why does calendar app icon show current date, but weather app icon does not?

i.e. At time of writing this post, the calendar app icon shows "Sunday 16" but the weather one always always always shows "23 degrees"
Is there a way of fixing this inconsistency in the UI?

I now realise that this has been asked previously, only the 'previously asked?' search didnt' pick it up for me.
Yes I understand the issues about how 'live' it needs to be, but surely you should have the option of picking this? Most people are connected 'all the time' anyway, so so what if there is a tiny bit of weather data flying about?

Looking for HP printer App/Icon to save on desktop

Hi - I am presently using Windows 8.1 operating system. In a previous version of Windows, I had installed a HP app/icon for printing photos and saved it on my desktop screen, the app looked like a picture of a "small HP printer" and it was very convenient when I wanted to print single photos on photo paper. After selecting my options on that printer app such as choosing a 2x3 or 4x6 size etc., I could select a photo and drag it to the printer app and it would automatically send a request to my printer to print that size photo. Now that I've installed the later version of Windows - (8.1), that printer app has disappeared from my desktop and I can't find out where to download it again. I do have a program installed called "HP Photo Creations" but that program only shows options to select 4x6 or 5x7 sizes etc., it does not give me the option to print a single 2x3 size photo. Anyone know where I could possibly download that small HP printer app/icon? I hope it's still available and can work on Windows 8.1, it really was soooo convenient.
This question was solved.

Hi @jank,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I understand that you are wondering if an app you used to have is still available for Windows 8.1.
The app you mention in your post predates my time with HP and I had to do some digging around. I was able to find out that at one time an app similar to the one you mentioned did exist, but no one I worked with was able to remember the name of it or how it worked. It appears that it is no longer available.

When I upgraded my iPhone 4s to IOS7, I lost all my app icons. Where did they go? Interestingly they are still listed in notifications and I could play words with friends when I got a message on the home screen that it was my turn (but still no icon)

Hey linfrommi,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having trouble locating some application after the update to iOS 7. To troubleshoot this issue, let’s reset the home screen layout of your iPhone, which should move all of your applications to the second “page”:

TS1702 Fitness HD for the iPad is no longer supported and it keeps saying that it needs to be updated in the badge on my app icon store. Apparently, it was bought by another company and now that company wants to charge me 2.99 to update my app. I

About a year ago, I purchased FItness Hd for the iPad. Yesterday, it showed up in the app badge as needing to be updated. I clicked it and now it keeps telling me that this app is no longer available for purchase. When I look into the app store, the same app is now for sale 2.99 under a different company. I have tried to delete and reinstall the app thinking it will clear out the badge on the app icon stating that I have one update. This is frustrating. Somehow, this company was sold and my old app/software is causing a conflict with the App store. Help???

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, my query is not so much about the sale of the company and the dream. I agree with you on that point. Good for them. My frustration is that this old app has now caused a glitch in my Apple App Store icon. I have a red badge with one update and it is referring to the old app that has been sold that needs to be updated. When I try to update the app it says no longer available for purchase. So I have since deleted that app in hopes that it would resolve the red badge issue. It has not. Somehow, that old app and the new app with the same name but by a different company has caused the glitch. I have reset all settings on my iPad, I have rebooted, I have deleted the app and still the red badge with the one update for the old app is there. Hmmm. . . I guess I need to take this into the Genius bar or wait for ios 7 in hopes that it will fix the glitch. Thanks again for your help.

I saturated all the available iPad (3rd. generation) screen space (home screens or desktop space) with apps, and the apps that got bumped out of the last screen, mysteriously disappeared? Where are those missing quick lauch app icons?

Running my 3rd generation iPad on iOS 7.0.4, I saturated all the available iPad screen space (which would be the 15 home screens or desktop worth of space) with apps, and the apps that got bumped out of the last screen space mysteriously disappeared. Where are those missing quick lauch app icons now? The apps are still installed and can be searched/accessed through the finder, but they no longer have a user friendly access. How can I solve this problem?

Hi Hexonxonx, thanks for trying to help, but next time please read the entire discussion, in oder to better comprehend what is being asked. The reason being is that your answer added nothing to what had already been mentioned.
Like I said, I was aware it was possible to access the apps through the finder, but the question revolved around how to recover the quick launch app icons for certain vanished apps.
Wow, kind of a snotty response to someone who was taking their own time to offer help. Whether you thought it was helpful or not, didn't deserve such an unkind retort. Maybe when you realize we all just users here trying to help others like you, who have issues and we don't get anything in return for the countless hours some people here spend offering that assistance, you'll maybe be a little less quick to be critical.
Just sayin.......
Oh and Meg offered the right answer. Put your Apps in Folders, which will create extra space for the apps which have disappeared.

Gnome-shell not showing app icons

I own a Sony Vaio Z laptop equipped with a common intel video card and an external Radeon HD 7000 graphics card (literally external, connected through thunderbolt/lightpeak).
The problem is that whenever I connect the external video card (which by the way works just fine using the opensource ati driver), gnome-shell fails to paint most of my app icons and other possibly related problems appear:
(1) as I said, no icons for some of the apps (see this screenshot); if i restart gnome-shell (using Alt+F2, r) the icons show up but just for the next couple of minutes. Only the icons that are painted by gnome-shell seem to be problematic (these include the dash, the apps list and sometimes the status menu icons). No useful output messages are printed by gnome-shell if running from a terminal. No extensions are enabled at all. This also happens with the default icon set.
(2) gnome-screenshot timeouts after ~20 seconds saying "** Message: Unable to use GNOME Shell's builtin screenshot interface, resorting to fallback X11". ltrace says that a call to g_dbus_connection_call_sync blocks the process.
(3) scrolling in chromium using the mouse is sometimes laggy, but this may be due to issues in the radeon driver.
None of these problems appear when the external card is not connected. I know this may be an upstream bug but I'd like to see first if the Arch community has any idea about this. I am really willing to debug this issue and spend as much time as needed on it, but I don't know where to start from.

It appears that all the 10 threads of the GTask thread pool are fully occupied most of the time. Therefore all the glib async requests are blocked for a while until the active tasks somehow finish (or timeout). I have no idea though how to find out what are those 10 threads occupied with.

The problem that app icons have a low resolution in Launchpad Screen

Here is a screenshot.
In Macbook pro with retina display, app icon often have a low resolution in Launchpad screen.
If the app install again after restarting the mac, the app icon in launchpad screen has normal resolution.
Do anyone know how to resove this problem?

Had this problem from time to time, at random, with Lion. After Mountain Lion it is a lot worse... many icons, non only personalized but also system icons, look blurry and pixelated...
I have done EVERYTHING I read on the many threads about this issue here at apple, as well as on other sites, but nothing helped... (removed thumbnails.data, delete caches, deleter .DS_store files, finder preferences, etc. etc. etc.).
This happens on both my macs, an iMac 2011 and a MacBookPro 2010...
How is it possible to have this BUG since the last 3 version of the OS, with Apple not solving the problem but rather getting worse?

Exclamation Point & Duplicate App Icon - iTunes App Screen

I just did a sync of my iPhone 3G. In iTunes in the Apps screen on my PC some of the App icons have been duplicated and there is an exclamation point in front of them. So:
1) What does this mean?
2) How do I correct it with minimum muss & fuss?
**Please note: due to previous bad encounters with 0S4 I *will not* be installing it, so please don't suggest that. Furthermore, since iTunes 9.2 will not function properly without OS4, I am using iTunes 9.1.1. (See my previous post regarding issues with iTunes 9.2 & my 3G iPhone.)
Thanks,
~TT~

Right clicking on the duplicate with the exclamation point brings up a pull down menu that says:
- Get Info
- Show in Windows Explorer
- Delete
Get info = The Application "name of application" could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" It then brings up the location if you continue on.
Meanwhile it now seems that MOST of the duplicate App icons have this duplicate with the !, while a couple just seem to be duplicates.
Again, I'm wondering as to the cause of this & how to correct it without having to do major stuff.
Thanks,

Grey App Icon Appears. Reboot and apps appear on different screens

I've noticed a strange thing happening on my home screen. Sometimes, and it seems when apps are automatically being updated, a gray app icon with a circle and an 'x' appears on my home screen. It will not go away and you cannot select it.
My home screen consists of 14 app icons, the rest of the screen is empty. I do this to declutter my home screen.
When I reboot my phone, the grey icon is gone, but it fills up my home screen with other app icons from a different page. When I move them back over to the second page so that only 14 apps appear again and the rest is empty space, I reboot my phone again, and it fills up the home page with more apps (different ones).
Is anybody else experiencing this issue? I tried to take a screen print of the grey icon to post here on my iphone, but when I looked at the photo, it wasn't there (very strange).
What does this grey app icon represent?
Is this a bug in the software?

ITunes App icon displays incorrect number of updates

Am currently running iTunes 11.03 but this issue has been around for several months. The App icon in iTunes indicates there are 38 updates available. After downloading them and syncing with my iPhone 3GS, the icon contiues to indicate 38 updates being available. Is there a way to reset the update counter?

When the export conversion completed, the correct number of songs was displayed on both libraries. Thank You.

Why are some app icons hi-def in the App Store, then pixelated when downloaded? (Even after uninstall/reinstall)? Any way to fix this?

Just as an example, TSN. The icon always appears as hi-def/Retina display in the app store if you search for it or it asks you to update, then when it updates it goes back to being pixelated. I can see if it is an app-specific issue but there are other apps like Bank of America which do the same thing. I don't think it's because they haven't updated the icon because they have, it appears perfect when viewed in the App Store. Uninstall/reinstall did not fix this. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated! It may sound minor, but it makes all the difference visually!

How pixelated could the app look like? The only reason why the app icon could look pixelated, is if you are using the iPhone 4 or iPod Touch 4th generation. They obviously have an upscaled resolution, so the apps could not have been upscaled when downloading... I am not sure about this issue...
Like you said, it is a minor issue...
