Applications icon changed, why?

On dragging the applications icon from the "Get info"screen of Applications to the dock, it changes the appearance from a light blue folder with the A for applications to something looking like the calender icon @ with a clock behind it. Why?

Thanks for the quick reaction. The change occurs on my wife's computer, so I will have to log in there and then send you the screenshot.

  • The color  of applications icon changed to dark color, what does it mean

    it happened twice, applications icon changed from red to dark red for a while?

    Hello Omar,
    Maybe you've found out by now but I believe it's because the apps are 'refreshing'. I think this is new to iOS 7 because I don't remember it happening before...
    If you go into your settings-->general--> and about halfway down the list is BACKGROUND APP REFRESH.
    I wish I could include a picture to make it easier but if you go into this setting you will see a list of all the apps that will refresh and also the master switch that turns them all off.. I'm not sure what it's doing when it's refreshing tho, maybe checking for updates or location?
    Hope this helps,
    Mister

  • What is"G" at eh bottom right corner of my applications icon and why do those applications do nothing?

    I received my Palm 755p second hand from a friend, just the phone and no accessories. Some of the applications do nothing; they all have a tiny “G” at the bottom right hand corner of the icon. When I click on the application, the screen changes to white for a second and then returns to the original screen. One of the applications that have the “G” is the “contacts” so I am not able to add contacts. Also when I click the “contacts” button on the phone nothing happens.
    They are all under the “Good” topic in the drop down menu.

    Hello and thank you for using the Palm forums.
    It seems like you may have answered your question yourself. The "G" most probably stands for "Good" - catagory that your friend used to change things around in his/her palm.
    You can do a hard reset to fix this problem, if you want to restore the phone to factory settings and wipe everything off so it is as good as new (and you cans start using the contacts app on your new phone). Here are the instructions.
    A hard reset wipes everything off your device. It is performed by holding down the power/end call button while you remove the battery from your device and then put it back in. Keep your hand on the power/end call button until the battery is back in the phone. The screen will now say "Palm Powered." Take your hand off the power button. You will now see a screen in 5 languages prompting you to erase all data from the palm. The screen will say "erase all data? Yes - up, no - down" and you need to click on the up arrow (silver button on the 5 way navigator on the bottom of the palm). This will erase all the info from your device.
    Now your phone should be as good as new, as when it was just purchased, without any previous info on it. This will make sure the applications that came with the phone will stay there and you should now be able to use the contacts application to save your own contacts.
    I hope this was helpful.

  • IPad 2 upgrade to iOS 8.0.2 made some of the homescreen icons change to geometric patterns.

    After upgrading iPad2 to iOS 8 some (not all) of the home screen application icons changed to a geometric black and white pattern. The application would still open when the icon was tappedWhen upgrading to iOS 8.0.2 they briefly changed to normal, but are now back to being black and white. The Apple iOS 8 applications were not affected and are all as they were before upgrading to iOS 8.  This bug has me bugged.

    Thanks damien258, your solution worked and my home screen icons are now showing up fine, but they are now somewhat out of order as I had more than 100 of them on five screens.  Crazy huh?

  • Change Application Icon Size in iTunes.

    Can anyone tell me how to change the size of the application icons in iTunes so I wouldn't have to scroll and see them all at once?

    I haven't found a way. Maybe you can talk Apple into this for the next upgrade.

  • Why does my application icons have a cirle with a slash on them?

    why does my application icons have a cirle with a slash on them?

    That means those applications cannot be run on your computer.
    There are many different reasons why that situation could arise, but without more information all we can do is speculate / guess. For example, you upgraded the OS and the apps will not run in the new OS.
    If you need more specific answers.ost back with more information, e.g. what version of Mac OS X? when did this first occur?

    When I try to connect to my application icon it states "cannot connect to itunes store"  why and how can I fix it

    also, how do you connect to internet, cellular data network or wi-fi....you might also try it with wi-fi turned off and see if it works over the cell data network..this would eliminate any proxy issues with the wi-fi network...

  • Iphone 5s application icon (yahoo) automatically changes to a different application icon (macys).

    iphone 5s running
    ios 8.1 application icon (yahoo) automatically changes to a different application icon (macys). When you click the icon, it directs you to Yahoo.  I have had this issue before but the last time the icon was changed to wikipedia.  The last time this happened, i reset my phone.  I bought this phone new almost 2 years ago and have been the sole owner and I have never attempted to jailbreak my phone.  Does anyone know what the issue could be?  

    The problem is now resolved. The only thing that I did was to make netscape the default. I always the write code. I think that somehow I must have hit publish, I still am still not sure. Thanks for all the help

  • Why won't my iTunes 11 icon change?

    Just downloaded iTunes 11 and on one computer the icon changed but on the other it did not.

    If you have the icon on the dock just move the icon out of the dock go into Applications and place it in there it will change. It stayed the same with me until I moved it but replacing it from the applications folder changed the icon.

  • Why do document icons change

    During login, document icons display as the familiar icon we've become accustomed to, but when login completes, the icons change to a rather drab, generic-looking thing. For example Word documents, which used to show as the familiar blue Word document icon, are now plain white with 'DOC' at the bottom. How can I get the original icons to display?
    Thanks.

    Hi Mike:
    I might be telling you to chase rainbows.
    I am running OS X 10.6, so there may be a disconnect.
    However, when I open my document folder, the folders are blue, but individual documents are a white icon with something like doc at the bottom. I consider this "normal," but we may be talking about different things...

  • Macbook Pros display blinks to blue, icons change size, resolution changes and cant reset. Anyone else have this and have a definitive idea of the cause? End up running diagnostics and resetting PRAM and SMC to resolve but why? Thanks.

    We have had several (7-10 recently) macbook Pros start this issue. The screen will jump from regular to blue, the background image will go away and it will be replaced with a blue screen, the icons change size and the screen resolution changes. Someimtes the users name field on the login screen will fly in from off screen... run diagnostics (AppleJack, Disk Util) and reset PRAM and SMC and sometimes this helps but wanted to know if there was a definite reason for this or a better resolution to the problem?
    Thanks all
    Macbook Pros are all newer (some only a month old) Unibody models running Snow Leopard and Lion

    AppleJack has been discontinued, so you should uninstall that.
    I'm suspecting something in software across all machine or a security breach as the primary cause of your problems.
    Wipe and install everything fresh, firmware update the router, change passwords, new software form original sources, etc.
