Classic showing generic document icons

Recently had trouble whilst running Quark 4.1 under Classic in OS 10.2.8, kernal panic's meaning needed to shut computer down. since running disk and permissions repair through my start up cd things seem to be better, however now when i look for image documents, whether tif, jpg or pdf, Classic only shows generic icons. any idea what's causing this and how i can fix it? Tried rebuilding desktop but no joy.

I would try to re-set both Open With… and Use this application to open all documents like this…
If that made no difference I would first Trash the Photoshop Preferences, then perhaps reinstall Photoshop.
It's unlikely to be affected by QuarkXPress kernel panics - which you shouldn't have.
Is your XPress at least 4.11 (175) and any third-party Xtensions rated for your versions fo Classic and X?
If they're still happening, I'd start another thread looking first at how often you get kernal panics from XPress, whether they happen with random documents or there's a pattern, whether they happen with new documents or only with old one, whether they still happen with no Xtensions active and even before that, how much memory is allocated to XPress?

  • When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?

    When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?
    All of a sudden I noticed that most of the folders on my computer were no longer using the folder icon, but the generic document icon. I had to manually change back the icon being used by opening Get Info for each folder and copying and pasting the generic folder icon from some folders that remained unchanged. Now whenever I create a New Folder (right click -> "New Folder"), the icon that shows up is the generic document icon (white page with top right corner turned down). And I have to manually change it so it shows up as a folder in Finder or on my desktop. I don't know why or how this switch happened. All of the folders now on my computer look ok, but I need to change the default so when I create a New Folder it uses the correct icon.
    I have also Forced Relaunch of my Finder and rebooted the system. I downloaded Candybar but am not sure what will fix anything, so I haven't proceeded.
    Anyone know how I can do this? Thanks.

    Anyone?

  • Generic document icons for applications in Simple Finder

    I have an account setup with Parental Controls and using the Simple Finder. In the My Applications folder of the simple finder, all of the apps show up with the default blank document icon instead of the correct application icon. How do I fix this?

    Hi Warren -
    I imagine you already tried this, but just to be sure, did you change the default .tiff app in Finder? Does that change the icon? If so, what happens when you then change the default back to your app?
    If the above doesn't help, what happens when you change the Bundle Name and Executable File name of your app, then set the default .tiff app to the "new" app? Not saying this is practical if you've already distributed your app, but it might help to know the result.
    Here's some misc info that may give you more ideas: [http://ask.metafilter.com/67832/Changing-filetypes-icons-in-OS-X].
    Btw, we have at least two or three experts around here who will probably know exactly what to do. I'm only filling in until one of them shows up. So if none of the above is useful, stay tuned.

  • Generic document Icons without Application Signature

    I have a mix of document icons on the desktop. All are saved in Word or Excell but some are seen as .doc icons (Grey) while other have the Word Signature (Blue with a W).
    Have no idea why that has happened or what to do.
    In the good old days this was fixed by rebuilding the desktop.

    Answered - I did not know that the folder/finder view has the option to see an icon or as a generic.

  • Mail stopped displaying attachments, shows generic full-screen icon

    I have been an iPhone user since 2008, and until recently, never had a problem with mail attachments. I know how they work: I need to tap to download them first, sometimes I even need to download the entire message, etc. I have successfully viewed thousands of attachments over the years.
    However, a few months ago it just stopped working. JPG, Word, Excel, PDF, etc., attachment are shown at the end of the message with their appropriate icons, and I can tap on them, as before. Tapping will get me to the attachment view screen, as before. However, what's different is that the "attachment view screen" is just a light grey gradient with a generic document icon, a file name, and a description of the file type (see below).
    This can happen in all of my mail accounts, so it shouldn't be a server setting. But there are differences:
    On Gmail, images usually display correctly, but not Office files
    On Exchange, nothing displays correctly
    When I forward the mail to myself in order to fix the issue, the following may happen:
    Forwarding an affected message from my iPhone will just kill the attachment. It will be replaced by a content-free HTML file
    Forwarding the affected message from my at work PC to my Gmail account will solve the problem, I will be able to open the message on my iPhone, even if it's a Microsoft Office file
    Forwarding an affected message from my PC to my Exchange account doesn't solve the problem.
    This looks like a bug. Any idea why it suddenly appeared recently? Anyone with a similar experience? Any solutions?
    Thanks a lot, everyone!

    SOLVED!
    The culprit was "Spaces" -- I had my work apps in one Space and my others in a second Space.
    When Spaces got in the way, I disabled it. That's when the windows disappeared!
    Note to Apple: When "Spaces" is disables, allow all windows to open in the "null" window!

  • Document icons showing for aliases, folders with .

    After rebuilding launch services database to resolve other issues, I'm now seeing a display glitch as follows:
    aliases folders, symlinks to folders, and any folder that has a name ending with a period are showing as a generic 180x180 plist document with an alias arrow in the corner:
    As you can see the problem is intermittent. Most have this problem, but some don't.  Issue is the same in the Finder or Path Finder. 
    The keen among you will notice the folder color.  I replaced system icons in the CoreTypes bundle with those from Mavericks (because I hated the Yosemite blue color).  This could have something to do with the issue but can't really see how, as the problem didn't exist after changing the the system folder icons across many reboots; only after rebuilding launch services database.
    The get info from Path Finder shows everything the same:
    Kind: alias
    UTI: com.apple.alias-file
    alias bit: on
    custom icon: false
    type: fdrp
    creator: MACS
    permissions: 644
    owner: (me); group: staff
    open with (oddly): ViewIt
    The size is weird. On the incorrect one, it's 300kb, on the correct one it's 1.8MB. Though maybe those are the right sizes considering they are each folders that contain other folders.
    For the folders that end in a period:
    kind: folder
    UTI: public.folder
    alias bit: off, custom icon: false
    permissions: 755, owner (me); group (staff)
    open with (oddly): Path Finder
    A similar sort of problem is posted here, but it doesn't seem to help.  I could try trashing ViewIt, but not PathFinder:
    Re: Icons for Aliases not Showing up...
    Any ideas?

    Seems this was a problem with PlistEdit Pro. (as I should have guessed from the document icon.)  Trashing that app and rebuilding icon cache and rebooting worked.

  • All user folder icons showing as generic folder icon

    Hi all,
    I have an issue where all the folders in my User folder are the generic folder icon (e.g. not the pictures, music, desktop specific ones etc).
    This seems to not just be in my user area, but an issue with Finder, as when viewing my Mac mini's folders from my iMac (the iMac is the one with the issue), the icons look generic also.  But on the Mac mini itself they're fine.

    This only happens on the dock, when I set the managed preferences in WGM to show dock items like group folders applications folder, even the network home icon, (the little house), all these icons appear as question marks. If I follow this path from the sidebar like this:
    network->servers->myserver->users->documents
    or
    I see that the users are saving their work on the server, this is really puzzling me!By the way, these are eMacs running 10.4.8.
    This also may sound kiind of weird but when I click on managed preferences in dock items to add a group's folder and check the box an old folder from a deleted group comes up and not the group folder of that particular folder.

  • I just noticed that some of the movies I had in iTunes did not get transferred to the iPhone. The missing movies are shown as generic movie icons in the iTunes panel. How do I get the original movies to show up again and transfer to the iPhone?

    I just noticed that some of the movies I had in iTunes did not get transferred to the iPhone 5. The missing movies are shown as generic movie icons in the iTunes panel and are checked to select them. But they do not show up in iPhone Videos. How do I get the original movies to show up again and transfer to the iPhone? I recently upgraded Mac OS to 10.6.8

    1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
    2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

  • Cover Flow won't show JPG preview, only generic JPG icon

    Hello,
    For some reasons, I don't see JPGs in Cover Flow mode. I can see them in Quick Finder no problem.
    I tried the following and toggle the on/off the feature without success: Go to Finder, open a window, and click View>Show View Options. From there, CHECK "Show Item Preview," then click "Use as Defaults."
    I exported photos from iPhoto into my desktop but I get the same result. Only generic jpg icon.
    BTW, PDFs are fine, excel, word are all fine....
    Any idea?

    A reboot solved the problem.
    I guess this is the workaround for now...

  • Images not showing in Mail, just generic JPG icon...

    I have this problem with Mail (v3.6, Leopard 10.5.8) not displaying images in html messages anymore. The problem is mostly with the emails i'm sending. Back on Tiger, you could drag and drop an image and it would show inline right there where your cursor would be in the message. Now it goes at the bottom, showing the generic Preview.app JPG icon with the name and size of the file underneath the icon. If I try to compose a message using on of Apple's stationaries, half of the images are not showing, instead once again giving me the generic icon. I do have the option of displaying HTML images turned on in the prefs. A picture is worth a thousand words, so here it is :
    http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/25424/mail_problem.jpg
    If I send this to friends, half of them get a correct looking email while the other half gets missing images where the original image was showing as an icon for me. Trying to save the email message as a PDF will have missing images too.
    What's going on here? Thanks!!!

    Same problem here. Some background images show up, top, bottom and corner images not. Opening the 'content.html' file in Safari: no problem.
    No idea what's going on.

  • My tabs no longer show the correct icon with each one, just generic ones now?

    I have Windows 8.1 and the newest version of Firefox. My tabs used to show the website icon for each tab. Now there are only 4 correct icons and the others have a generic blue disc in a box. I liked just having the recognizable icons. Can I get that back?

    You can check these prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page and make sure that they have the default value true.
    *browser.chrome.favicons
    *browser.chrome.site_icons
    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location bar and you can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

  • Generic InDesign icon instead of thumbnail

    Just upgraded from Panther to Tiger and all went well. But back in Panther, in column view, if I selected a saved InDesign document, a thumbnail of the document would appear in the next column. Since the upgrade, however, all I get is the generic InDesign icon. This happens with documents created before AND after the upgrade.
    When I select a .pdf, .tif, .ai or .mpg in Tiger, I get a thumbnail, so it's just the InDesign documents that won't show. InDesign documents are set to "Save Document Preview Image."
    I have repaired permissions, run Onyx and MacJanitor, etc. Is there a preference I should delete or something else? Thanks. These forums are invaluable, by the way.
    PowerMac G4 Quicksilver   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   2MB L3 cache 1GB SDRAM

    I seriously doubt that will do a thing about this problem, and I wouldn't try it. As an experiment I tried copying an InDesign document and a couple of the other files that aren't showing thumbs from my tower, with Tiger, to my iBook with Panther. The iBook's only Adobe app is PS Elements. Nonetheless in column view it displays the thumb for the InDesign file and for a couple of ai files, none of which show a thumb in Tiger. I believe the problem is Tiger's, not ours.

  • 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...

  • Document Icon

    I am running Photoshop CS4 version 11.0 on a 2 x 2.66 GHz Inel Mac with OS X 10.4.11.
    When I save a file as a Photoshop document by choosing Save or Save As from the file menu, the document icon is a thumbnail of the image.  When I save a file as a Photoshop document using the JavaScript Document.save() method, the document icon is a generic Photoshop icon.
    Is there anything I can do either in script code or in application preferences to ensure that the document icons always display as image thumbnails?

    This sounds like a finder issue. On reboot does it show correctly? Are you saving a PSD with a different extension? Are you using extensions? What does the type/creator say for your document?
