Button icons from finder and safari gone

My iMac updated Safari on 8-13-14 and ever since then the icons from the navigation menu of both Safari and Finder have Disappeared. What do I do to Fix this?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • My icons are missing from finder and Safari.

    Not sure what I have done. My icons are missing from finder and Safari, tired the customise tool bar option with no joy,   please help.

    Try this  - 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 - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • How do you remove buttons icons from a large pdf all at once?

    How do you remove buttons icons from a large pdf all at once? I have a 1400 + pg doc that I am updating. It has icon buttons to return to the home page on each page but they were not duplicated properly and when you scroll through the doc, the buttons dance around. Now I want to redo these buttons but hate the idea of having to go to each page to delete the icon button so I can start new. Can it be done all at once?

    It's probably worth adding to try67's suggestion above that, if you're using the first option, you need to make sure the page display is continuous. (If you've got it set to view a single page only, Command+A will only select the fields on the active page.)

  • Icons missing from Finder and desktop

    I have just bought a new iMac. Most of the proper icons for the various applications and folders are not showing in the Finder; instead there is a generic b&w icon that is difficult to see. The icons of files (Word, Excel. Acrobat) on my desktop do show up briefly when I start-up, but then one-by-one change to the nondescript icons. Curiously, one Excel file is OK, but that is the only one.
    Can anyone help me on this one?

    There is a Use As Default button but in order to use it for preview icons you first have to open a folder in the Finder and set it to icon view; then the View>Show View Options menu will include a Use As Default button at the bottom.
    Whether that works in Dock stacks I don't know because the first thing I did with my new Macs was disable the abominable stacks using a 3rd-party utility called Quay. Rumour has it that the forthcoming Os 10.5.2 update will have that option built in (as it should have been from day 1).
    As things stand, you can either live with the seriously misjudged default behaviour of folders added to the Dock or you can force the folder icons to show a constant icon by adding a file or folder with the desired icon to each of the dock folders and putting a space at the start of its filename so that it is always the first item in the list. Alternatively, the aforementioned Quay lets you set a custom icon for each Dock folder.

  • Can't remove Acrobat Reader 8 icon from Finder view

    Several weeks ago I downloaded and installed Acrobat Reader 8, deleting version 7.
    Since then, if I double-click on the Finder icon in the Dock I see an Acrobat icon there along with icons for my other folders. If I click on it, the program opens.
    The icon doesn't appear on my Desktop.
    How can I get rid of it?

    Ah, I seem to have solved the problem: when I double-click on the TRASH icon in the Dock and drag the Adobe icon from the left column of folder icons into the Trash area I got a "poof" animation and the Adobe is gone at last!

  • Flickering finder and safari, and sound not working?

    Firstly the screen froze whilst the radio was still playing. I could move the mouse cursor but not click on anything.
    So, I did a safe reboot and the desktop reset.
    Everything now responds to the mouse but Finder is flickering when scrolling and Safari is really flickering - in hte window and address bar.
    The sound is also not working.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks for your time.

    Hi Leroydouglas
    Just been playing with the desktops and found a bunch of open Finder windows along with a window asking me if I wanted to erase the Trash files.
    Seems like they were hiding behind an app window on one of the desktops  (found it by accident as I was scrolling through the desktops using the swipe gesture on my Trackpad).
    I've assigned the Finder to a desktop (desktop 1) and it seems to be OK at the moment (opens new windows and Trash icon works).
    I've tried opening Finder by clicking on the Dock icon in all the desktops and it opens without any problems (you can see it scroll to Desktop 1).  The folders on the desktop I couldn't before now open OK (again in Desktop 1).
    Looks like the quick fix to the problem is to assign Finder to its own Desktop.  I'll be keeping an eye on it  :-)

  • Corrupted icons in Finder and Mail

    My icons for files and folders often get corrupted as shown here:
    http://www.math.uni-hamburg.de/spag/dm/corrupted_icons.pdf
    The problem is cured (temporarily) by a reboot, but not by relaunching the Finder. Strangely, the problem "spreads" like an infection: at first, only the icons in one folder viewed in the Finder are corrupted, then quickly more and more get corrupted. The bad icons even infiltrate some applications, like Mail - see the bottom two icons in the rightmost screen shot of the link. When a single file has a bad icon, I can "delete" that icon in the info window for that file, and it reverts to normal. This does not seem to work when the corrupted icon is that of a folder.
    I have a suspicion that the problem tends to spread from "old" files (never folders) that pre-date OSX. But that's not much more than speculation, since many of my files are of that type. Also, the problem has spread to other macs that I "migrated" to from the one originally affected.
    Any help at all - such as suggestions of how to cleanse my Mac so that this does not reoccur - would be greatly appreciated...
    Sandy

    The problem is still not understood, but it seems I've been able to get rid of it. Many years ago (quite possibly still under OS9) I had given some folders special icons to make them stand out visually. I then put those folders in the toolbar of the Finder window (even now under Leopard, where dragging folders to the toolbar no longer seems to be officially encouraged but still works). In search of "anything unusual" to do with icons I now removed those pictures from the folders in their info field (so now they look normal again, like any other folders), and haven't had any more corrupted icons since. This has now been stable for about a fortnight, while before this measure I had newly corrupted icons about twice a week at least.
    Caveat: I didn't remove those custom-made icons from all my folders: I simply forgot two of them (which, however, were changed later I think). So even if restoring generic icons to some folders solved the problem, the problem will most certainly be difficult to reproduce.

  • Accidentally removed "@" icon from Dock (launches safari)

    Hi,
    I accidentally removed the "@" icon from the far right side of the Dock (it launches safari). Can anyone tell me how I can get it back?
    Thanks,

    *Hi Joseph, Welcome (Back)* to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
    Hmmnnn, I did not know you could launch Safari that way. The "@" usually is a URL that has been dragged to that location.
    The standard way to get an App onto the Dock is to go to the Apps folder and drag the app to where you want it in the left portion of the dock. It will then stay there until you right (Control) click on it and ask that it be removed from the Dock.
    Hope that's helpful.
    Good Luck, JP

  • Proxy Icons in Finder and Apps no longer draggable?

    I was playing around with ML today and noticed that I could no longer drag a proxy icon from the top of the window (the little icon in the middle of a window's title bar). When you click and hold the icon still darkens. But when you attempt to drag the icon goes back to normal as soon as your cursor leaves its boundaries.

    It turns out all drag operations in Finder went kaput on me. A restart fixed the problem.

  • Removing Shortcut Icons from Finder Window

    In the left side of the Finder Window, there are little shortcut icons like "Music" and "Applications" and the like. I dragged a folder into this window for easy access. I no longer have the folder on my Mac, but the shortcut icon is still there.
    How do I make it go away? Every time I right- or left-click on it, I simply get a message saying the folder is no longer available.

    Select the item and drag it out of the sidebar. It will "poof" away.

  • Checherboarded icons on Finder and images

    . During a surf on internet, the look of icons on Finder have changed, all images on Iphoto, and videos on Quicktime are now pollued, TV. All user on the computer are affected. Further restarts didn't change. System and disk inspection an system's restoration didn't give any improvements.
    The icons into Finder windows aren't affected same think with Internet windows. But these windows are broadsided by the pattern.
    Thanks for your help
