App/Icon problem since Disk clean
Today I did a hard drive clean, to free up some space. (using the Disk Doctor app)
I now find that a couple of icons in my dock are showing a question mark (?) rather than the icon.
For example : MPlayerX
And these apps affected with the '?' won't open.
So I did a fresh install of MPlayerX from the Apple App Store. It downloads and installs fine into Launchpad. But the app simply won't open (I just see a rotating multi-colour disk). I have to force the app to quit.
I have uninstalled and fresh-installed twice, no go.
I have not run any other app/disk clean or uninstall procedures. Just the Disk Doctor. In the Disk Doctor parameters, I set it to clean 'App Caches, 'App Logs', 'Downloads' & 'Trashcan'.
Any suggestions?
Cleaning applications can destroy your operating system, which apparently Disk Doctor did.

I just finished my first app and begin testing on iphone(after joining dev program) everything works fine but.I have problems with app icon.In xcode project view I managed to put 57x57 px png app icon and when I put the app on my phone it's oke but in itunes my app is shown without a icon.I thought that putting 114x144 px icon should solve this problem but I cant do it.When I rightclick and select the "select-file" in 57x57 I can put any png there but its not avalible on 114x114 when I rightclick there is no "selectfile" option and other options aswell.
Is it the reason of no icon showing problem in my itunes or my app can work without it?
Also whatever name I gave it my (when I archive it) app name always takes my project name but I want to rename it.Can developers rename it later ?
Thanks.including together? what do you mean I assign png icons by rightclick select "select file" on xcode project window it works for 57x57 but there is no select file when I right click 114x114 (iphone 4 icon size) why ?

Windows 8.1 can not access apps after using Disk Clean-up
All was working well until I did a Disk Clean-up, now no apps from the Metro Start screen will load I just get a transparent icon holder on the Taskbar. I have tried uninstall the app which was Calendar I was allowed to uninstall but when I tried to re-install
I just get error 0x80070005, after check lots of forums and Microsoft technet articles and all seem to point Windows Store being damaged or corrupted, I have run all the fixes but note work, when I run AppsDiagnostic.diagcab I just get [Service Registration
is missing or corrupt] [Windows Store cache may be damaged] [Windows Store configuration may be damaged] I have now run out of what to try next. Can anyone help before I lose all my hair.Hi Rick,
First of all, please run "dism/online/cleanup-image/restorehealth"to check the health of the system files. Then take the following steps to have a check.
1. We can run “wsreset.exe” to reset the cache of Windows Store as S.Sengupta suggested to have a check .
2. If the issue persists ,try this way to re-register the Windows Store to recover the entry of Windows Store :
Right click on the “Start screen” , choose “Command prompt(Admin)”and in-put :
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.XML
3. If the issue persists ,kill Store and Store Broker from task manager . Rename the Cache folder to CacheOld at. C:\Users/(Your User Account)\AppData\Local\Packages\WinStore_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\LocaalState.
Rename folder called Cache into CacheOld, Create an empty folder with name Cache. That’s all. If you want to revert changes just delete Cache and Rename CacheOld into Cache.
" 0x80070005" means access denied .Considering the store app is downloaded from the windows update .Please refer to the following link to gain the permissios of the registry keys to have a check.

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? -
App problem #1 - duplicate app icons
i had hoped these problems will go away by itself as o/s updates come but even with 1.0.6.2390, they seem to persist so i'm raising my hand so hopefully someone can help. this will be 1 of 2 issues.
problem: ever since day one, ie april 19th, i've noticed duplicate icons for apps i downloaded from app world. at the peak, there were about 3 apps which show two separate icons in the home screen. if i delete one (of a pair), the other in the pair also disappears. if i then reinstall it (a single time), two app icons will again show up.
so is there a way to get rid of the other in a pair? right now only the globe & mail app is duplicated. the duplicate remains even after upgrading from successive versions.
thanks.I just know my duplicates went away (I think) with the last update last week.
MyWorld is still in alphabetical order now, with tonight's upgrade. Is yours?

I cleaned up my mac and now all my applications are gone. I try to open them and it has a question mark on the app icon. Everything from System prefrences, Everything in itunes, iphoto, preview and mail? Please help
These question marks are on your dock? And you can't open applications from your dock?
If so, try this: Open a new finder window and navigate to the Applications folder in your hard disk. The applications in question should still be in there (the Applications folder). So drag each of the application icons that you want to be available on your dock from the Applications folder onto your dock, one by one. Take each of your question mark icons that are on the dock and drag them off the dock to get rid of them. See if that fixes you up.
Now, if your hard disk no longer has an Applications folder in it, or the Applications folder is empty, you are going to have to reinstall OS 10.6 then do a software update to bring you back up to OS 10.6.8. You may be able to just go to the "optional installs" folder on the installer DVD and maybe all the stock applications are there -- I don't remember and I don't have an installer DVD handy to look. That would be way easier than doing a full blown OS reinstall. Also, as I recall, if OS 10.6 was on the computer when you bought it from the store, I think there should be an "extras" DVD that has a handful of applications that could be reinstalled from it, too. -
Continued disk problems even after clean installs
I've been battling with "keys out of order" and "invalid node structure" errors for some time now. After the initial incident, which rendered my Rev B iMac G5 17" 1.8Ghz 250Gig 10.4.4 unusable, I did a clean install. A week later the same problem occurred again. I again did a clean install erasing all free space and zeroing the disk. After a few weeks again I had the same problem. The third time I erased free space and wrote over the disk 7 times. A month later here I am with the same problems. Disk Utility and fsck seem to "fix" things for a week or so at a time. I've now got 43 items in Lost+Found.
I don't run anything on this machine that it didn't ship with save Firefox and Thunderbird. Could there be something wrong with the install media that shipped with my computer? Could it be the hard drive, bad blocks maybe? I'm open to any hackery that might help. Please don't just recommend DiskWarrior! I'll trade advise for a REAL explanation. Thanks in Advance.Please don't just recommend DiskWarrior!
Disk Warrior can't fix hardware problems, and since you seem to have a hardware problem, I won't recommend that you try Disk Warrior. Is that a deal?
We've seen 'keys out of order' messages as being the result of HD, logic board and RAM problems, so it's hard to say with any authority what may be causing this on your machine. Have you run Apple Hardware Test in extended mode from your Install & Restore Disc 1 as others have suggested? It may provide some insight. If you've added third-party RAM, run AHT's extended test in looped mode for several hours or overnight.
Good luck. -
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.
ThanksWhile 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.

Computer is balky random freezes across apps. Two hard drive cleans later (their scan reveals no hard drive problems) photo shop won't work at all, magic touch mouse inoperable and their diagnoses is corrupted data? Anybody heard of this?
Well, yes, data does get corrupted sometimes.
The trick is finding what data.
By 'cleaned' are you therefor meaning that the drive has been erased and the system re-installed?
Because that's the quickest way to deal with such a situation.
Back up the system first of course,
Add back 3rd party apps one at a time in case one of them is causing the problem. -

Thank You.Hi Rameez,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The steps in this article can help if iTunes is asking you to authorize your computer repeatedly:

I have just updated to ISO 8 and my app icons are not displaying the correct icon but just a generic icon. Anyone had a similar problem?
That happened to me for a short period of time after I updated. It didn't do it with all apps, but it did it with a few here and there. Try a few basic standard troubleshooting steps. Close all apps and reset the iPad.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
You can also try resetting all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.
Hopefully it will be something simple, but don't rule out restoring the iOS software, if nothing else works, but start with this easy stuff first. -
On iOS 8.3 using 'Keynote for iPad' the app freezes repeatedly (since the last update of April 21st) while editing slides. 30 sec. later comes alive again, then freezes again after a few editing actions. Anyone with the same problem? I tried everything 'app support' tells me except deleting and reinstalling the App because I have a lot of files that I'd lose. Recommendations anyone? [email protected]

The 'Swipe to Camera app icon' function is not working. I swipe across but the camera app doesn't start up at all. Does anyone else have this problem? Can it be fixed?
You don't swipe but actually press, hold and push up.
