Illustrator cs4 application icon disappeared...

Hello,
Recently the illustrator application icon has dissapeared on me...
I'm running win7 64bit.
I've found several threads discussing this problem in Vista with cs2 and cs3, but no solutions...
Has this problem been solved?
If so, how do I get that icon back?
thnx,
S

Hi Mylenium,
Thanks for the response!
Removing and re-adding the link to the taskbar doesn't solve the problem unfortunately...
I don't think it has anything to do with the taskbar, because the icon is also gone (i.e. replaced by an "unknown item" icon) in windows explorer.
There is a .ico file (AI_Application_Icon.ico) in the support files\contents\windows folder that does display the icon, but the illustrator.exe file does not.
Also changing illustrator.exe icon to this .ico file has no effect.
I'm also running illustrator as an administrator with full rights (tried every other way of running it, to no avail...).
What's more, all my other cs4 applications don't have this problem...
I use illustrator all the time, so don't think non usage is the reason either.
I'm at a loss :'(

I installed the catalyst-driver yesterday on my HTPC and in the gnome systems settings i see "Graphics: VESA: WRESTLER", so it seems to be normal.

Application icons disappear

Sometimes if I move an application, other applications lose their icon, and sometimes I have to turn the iPhone back to completely normal...

Hi Ssiskind and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
This may be due Admium, I've seen quite a few issues in the forums that involved that software.
You may be able to fix it by rebuilding you LauchServices data base. At any rate it will do no harm.
Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line to rebuild LaunchServices:
Code:
<pre class="alt2" style="margin:0px; padding:3px; border:1px inset; width:640px; height:34px; overflow:auto">/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/\Frameworks/LaunchServi ces.framework/Support/lsregister \-kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user</pre>
Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

Somehow my application icon in the dock has disappeared and I have no idea where it went or how to get it back. I am not all that computer knowledgeable. Thanks for your help.

Goto your application folder, find your app then drag/drop it back to the dock.

Using OS 10-6-8. For no apparent reason, mail refused to open and the icon in the dock changed and the application has disappeared except in iWork. Under Iwork, the message says: "yoou tried to open Mail version 4.5 (1084/1085) in: /Applications/iWork '06

You should consider downloading the 10.6.8 combo updater and applying it again.

My firefox icon disappears into my applications folder each time I log out. Is it possible to keep the icon on the bottom of my screen? Thank you.

Hello, My Firefox icon disappears into my applications folder each time I log out. Is it possible to keep it at the bottom of my screen (it used to stay there)?

Does that mean you have to sign out of creative cloud on one machine and sign back in to creative cloud on the other machine to be able to use it?
No. You can be signed in to the Cloud (using the same Adobe ID) on two separate computers at the same time.
If you want to activate the Cloud on a 3rd machine then you need to sign out of one of the other computers.
Your issue on your home computer is unlikely to be related to signing in.
Mac or Windows at home? Which operating system?

Application icons keep disappearing

After I downloaded a few applications off the app store the icon to launch the application just disappeared. I try to redownload the application but it says its already installed and when i sync it with itunes it says its install on my phone. The only way to get the application back is for me to delete them all off itunes and then reinstall every single one. Is there anyway to avoid this hassle?

Samething happen with my iPhone 3G with 2.2.1 firmware. I recently purchase Ocarina and Bejewelled 2.
I only have 4 pages and every pages has at least 8 application and max of 16.
I tried to removed and reinstall from the iTunes, it won't work.
I tried to removed and redownload from iTunes Apps on the iPhone itself :worked! after I sync it with my iTunes its dissapear again.
Until now, those above method I use won't work and icons still dissapear.
I try to buy again from iTunes store, it say already 'Installed'
Any idea?

Since upgrading to Yosemite, my file folders and applications icons keep disappearing and I have to restart my mac to get them back. Any remedies out there?

Any remedy for disappearing file folder and applications icons since upgrading to Yosemite?

@Steve_Clairman, if you are looking for the orange Firefox button (abbreviated menus), it will appear if you turn off the classic menu bar:
View menu > Toolbars > ''uncheck'' Menu Bar

I downloaded IOS6 and all my apps, including the App Store icon, disappeared. If I go to the Passport icon, there is an App Store button, but I have to search through all the apps to find the one I want and then click on "Open" to use it. Help!

I downloaded IOS6 and all of my app icons, including the App Store icon disappeared. Now to use an icon, I have to go to Passport and click on the App Store button at the bottom and search through all of the apps to find the one I want and then click on Open. There doesn't seem to be a way to delete the app and start over.

Hey PlayerPS,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the application you are looking for is indeed still on your iPhone. You can confirm this by searching in the Spotlight Search for this application. It may have accidentally been moved to a folder, or an additional Home screen:

WiFi icon disappears in landscape mode

On my 32GB iPhone 3G-S running version 3.1.2, while in Safari or Mail, the WiFi icon disappears when I turn the phone from portrait to landscape mode. I am still connected to the WiFi network OK and can use the applications fine, but there is no verification that I am connected. For completeness, I am currently in Europe and have placed the phone in Airplane Mode to avoid international roaming and data charges.
Has anyone else seen this behavior?

Well - I appear to have, at least temporarily, solved this problem by doing a phone reset. Icon is now staying visible in landscape mode after the reset.

After update iMovie and OS Yosemite recovery, iPhoto icon disappeared. How can I find photos stored on iPhoto?

I am using iOS Yosemite 10.10.3. After update iMovie version 10.10.08 and OS Yosemite Recovery. iPhoto icon disappeared. I opened the Photos icon but all my images which used to be in iPhoto were not there. How do I access those images in iPhotos?

Go to Finder>Applications and open the iPhotos app.
Apple want you to use the new Photos app which now should be in your Dock. Photos will import your iPhoto library

Mouse icon disappears!

Sometimes when I am using photoshop CS3 or flash 9 standalone (and other applications too) the mouse icon disappears. In photoshop when I move my mouse out of the canvas it goes away, to get the pointer back I hit command-tab to bring up the app switcher or I move the mouse back into the image. It only seems to happen in applications with special mouse pointers (like photoshop). Sometimes the pointer icon doesn't go away it just doesn't change to the standard icon. This might be caused by Application Enhancer... which sadly was installed by Logitech Control Center. I uninstalled it but it still might have caused this.

Sounds like an Adobe problem. Check their user forums. If you think it's related to Logitech's stuff, contact them.

Taskbar icons disappear in Windows 7

I have recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate. If I click on the taskbar icon for an open window/application, the window is minimised AND the task bar icon disappears. I have to use ALT-TAB to find my window again. It is infuriating.
I have Win 7 at work, and Win Vista on my laptop. In both cases clicking on the taskbar icon will miminise the window, but leave the taskbar icon. Clicking the icon again will restore the window. How do I set my Win 7 Ultimate to do the same?

I'll do my best!
not_a_computer_techie,
I have to make at least a few assumptions, so bear with me.
I'll assume you understand what the "Desktop" is.
Right-click (your mouse) on the Desktop, (left-)click "New", click "Text Document", press "Enter" on the keyboard.
Double-click the new text file you just created (named "New Text Document.txt").
You'll either have to copy the following statements and paste them into the file, or if you don't know how, enter them by typing them in. Obviously, there's less chance of an error if you copy and paste them.
taskkill /F /IM explorer.exe
cd /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
attrib -h IconCache.db
del IconCache.db
start explorer
Now, look at the top left of the window where you just entered or pasted the statements. You should see the words "File", "Edit", ..., "Help". Click "File", click "Exit". It will then ask if you want to save
your changes; click "Save".
Change the name of the file from "New Text Document.txt" to "New Text Document.bat" (i.e., change the last three characters from "txt" to "bat") and
click "Yes" when prompted.
Right-click "New Text Document.bat", click "Run as Administrator". You must now reboot your computer for the change to take place. Every program that had an icon missing will have the icon restored when the program is run.
I recommend you rename the file from "New Text Document.bat" to "Icon Cache Refresh.bat" and save it somewhere for the next time this happens (and believe me, it will).
