App icons have changed appearance

I have downloaded a ton of apps. SOME of the icons have taken on the appearance of some of the other icons. I have deleted the app and reinstalled them. Didn't work. Did a complete reset. No go. Is this a gliche? I synched, no go. I have not upgraded to 3.1 or itunes9. Should I? Why would this phone do this? Is it defective? Has anyone run across this problem? Can I change the icons? Thanks to you all !!

iPhone OS 3.1 fixes the issue that caused some app icons to display incorrectly.

I downloaded AirPlayIt yesterday from the app store. It was on my iPad yesterday. Today, however, the app icon does not appear on my home screen. When I go into apps it is there but it doesn't have an "Open" choice. There is only a cloud with an arrow pointing down. When I click on the app it pops up but there is no open button. How can I remove it? Tapping it won't work as it isn't on my home screen.

You'll have to contact the developer about this. Apple doesn't make this app;

The file icons is one on the change features MS removed from the Explorer options. Supposedly you can do the change with the registry, though I have not figured out that option. If you want to try, backup the registry first and then you might try the instructions at How to Change a File Type Icon in Windows 7 and Vista - The Winhelponline Blog. If the application icon is not correct, try to fix that before the approach above. Good luck and be careful (dealing with the registry can make your computer not work..

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try using the search feature for the app. If that doesn't help, restart the device.
How do you know it's definately installed.

File Icons have changed

I just noticed that all of my pdf file icons have changed to the iTunes icon.
Would anyone have any idea why this may have happened and how to change them back?
There are no problems with opening or viewing the files - they still open in Preview - but in the Finder they show up as the iTunes icon? Any ideas?
Thanks,
AK

Great suggestion - thanks! It did change the icon globally - but then when I switched it back to Preview - it went back to the 'iTunes' icon.
Where can I go to change the Preview icon (which is probably want's broken)?
Preview icon is kept inside Preview application package. control-click on Preview.app and select "show package contents". go to Contents->Resources. the file is called preview.icns. However, there is no way that file got substituted by the itunes icon. Morte likely something is wrong with the Launch services database.
Try the following. delete the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist and log out/in. if that doesn't help run the following command in terminal
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user

After installing the Security Update 2015-002 many system app icons have switched. How can I fix this?

I Installed the Security Update 2015-002 on March 13 on my 13-inch Macbook Pro (mid 2010) running Yosemite. However after it rebooted many of the system app icons have switched places. For instance: The delete button in finder has the icon for Full Screen (while others are just plain white). And the button for New Message in Mail now shows a search icon. Please see screengrab below.
IS there a way to fix this mess without having to manually change all this?

I have some new info on the issueI thought I'd share with you.
First of all, I've installed Photoshop CC on my SurfacePro (Windows 8) and do not have the lag issue there. It's very similar hardware to my MacBook Pro. So the issue must have something to do with my MacBook.
After a lot of tinkering I discovered that it is my 27" Thunderbolt Display that is causing the brush lag. When I unplug it and only use my built in 13" screen the brush lag is gone. Aha!
I tried every available option in the Performance section but nothing helped. Again, Photoshop CS5 with attached Thunderbolt Display doesn't have a brush lag issue.
I'd be interested to know everyone else's setup who is experiencing this problem.

HT201365 Hello, I just downloaded IOS 7 The Icons have changed How can I restore the original ones?

Hello I just downloaded IOS 7 on my iphone 4s The icons have changed and I would like to know how retore them to the original forms?

Hi,
I you cannot go back to the previous set of icons, they are embedded in the iOS and an important part of the new set of features.

Preferences icons have changed

Both my System and Home preferences icons have changed to that of a text editor which I recently downloaded but have not yet used. I was trouble-shooting an issue in which my desktop sounds were not happening; i.e., the Trash emptying made no sound, I had no start-up chimes and no sound of dragging and dropping a file. I have still not resolved that issue. Any answers would be welcome. But, the strangest thing is the fact that all my Preference files have this Smultron icon. I had simply put my Preference folder on the Desktop and then rebooted to see if the Desktop sounds would return. When they didn't, I replaced the Preferences folder and found that all my Preference files had this icon. The icon also shows on my System Preferences which I did not touch or move in this process. Any clues?

I am having the same problem but with an icon from a different editor, BBEdit. Both my System and Home preference icons have changed. I first noticed a problem when I returned to my computer, from which I had not logged out, after stepping away from it for a while. My mail looked funny; the font for the mailboxes had changed and the header type was not formatted in the usual fashion. I logged in as the admin and checked its preferences. All the preference icons for both the admin account and the system are as they should be, while logged in as admin. That makes me think it is a problem with my user account only. I went to the Cache folder in the Library in my user account and dumped the "com.apple.preferencepanes.cache" file (as someone had suggested in another, earlier discussion thread.) It straightened out my mail but did not help my preference icons. Feedback; suggestions; answers?

App icon does not appear for Keynote

Tried to download "Keynote App". Icon does not appear.

When I click "OK" nothing changes.
I have also checked "General"/Usage" under settings and the App does not appear there.

Why has my app icon randomly changed and how do I get it back

I started up my ipad 4 this morning and one of my icons has changed for no reason. Any idea how this has happened or why but more importantly how do I get it back?
I've tried restarting and switching it off again to no avail. As it's a corporate app I can't delete and reinstall.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Thom

No, there is no way to customize icons in iOS. The only thing I can think of why this might happen is this...
Corporate developer accounts have the ability to develop and distribute apps outside the app store. This also means the apps do not undergo the same testing process as commercial apps and more importantly, it means that apps developed by enterprise developer do not have to have what is called a unique Bundle Identifier. It's essentially what identifies the app. Usually the bundle identifier is unique and formated as a combination reverse domain plus some details about the app. For example, com.companyname.appname or com.apple.voicememos.
It's possible the developer decided to use a bundle identifier similar or the same as the app that uses the icon that is appearing on your device. When you update your personal apps, the App Store might have gotten confused.
It's also possible the developer used a placeholder icon and simply forgot to replace it before you installed the app then fixed it later after someone gave him the proper icon.
Have your IT group delete and reinstall the app and I suspect you will be ok.

System Preference Icons have changed

Hi
The Speech and Startup disc Icons in my system preferences pane have changed to something like a switch.
The other accounts on the same mac have no such problems.
Any suggestions?

Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and enter ~/Library/Caches/ as the folder's path. Once this folder has appeared, locate the com.apple.preferencepanes.cache item and drag it to the desktop. Open System Preferences again. Mac OS X 10.4 does not create or use any items starting with LS or .LS in the ~/Library/Preferences/ folder.

Icon have changed to preview icons

Hi.I use PEAK as an audio editor which uses its own file icon.Just recently all my normal peak icons suddenly changed in to what I guess must be Preview icons,the ones with the semi-quaver,a bit like itunes. Also every time I save something in peak the original peak icon changes. I have set the files to open in peak in the get info but it still makes no difference. Any ideas why and how can I stop this! Thanks,Tony

Ok, this is happening every time I launch Photoshop, the Layer Panel options "Show thumbnails" box is turned off by default, and I have to go in and turn it on again each time.
I recall recently that an AppleCare support tech, in an effort to fix some Mac Mail issues, had me throw away a folder in the Library, maybe Prefs?, and restart. This is the only thing I've done to my system in recent memory. No upgrades, no new apps, nothing else i can come up with...
Would really like to resolve this! Any ideas? thanks

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?

OSX Mountain Lion: Running app icons do not appear in the dock

It's almost 2-3 days that I have found when I run an application in OS X Mountain Lion, the application icon does not appear in the dock. In other words, the icons in the dock remain unchanged and no other running application icon appear in the dock. Does anyone else have the same issue?
I appreciate your time to answer my question.

Since you're having issues in multiple accounts I suggest you repair the HD and re-install the OS. ML makes the process pretty painless.
Boot up holding command-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
The screen should give you these choices...
Restore from TM backup
Reinstall Mac OS X
Get help online
Disk Utility
First choose DIsk Utility and run Repair Disk. If you find errors run it until all errors are fixed or it reports "Disk cannot be repaired".
Then, choose Reinstall OS X. This will be an install in place and won't affect any of your own data.
