  • File icons are missing from my ML desktop. Name is there but the icon is missing.  How do I fix this?

    Some of my file icons are missing from the Mountain Lion desktop.  The file name is there but not the icon.  The file can be opened when the words are double clicked.  The files show up properly in Adobe Bridge.  These are Photoshop files.  How do I fix the problem?

    Get Info (cmd-i) on one of these files. In the "Open with" tab is PS selected?
    If that's so it may be some corruption LaunchServices.These are only cache files but can get corrupted.
    Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line to rebuild LaunchServices:
    (EDIT: Be sure to copy the entire line of code it is a slider)
    Code:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    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

  • Desktop icons are no longer trusted, custom home directory [solved]

    I have my home directory on a raid, and have noticed that after switching it the desktop icons no longer work properly (icons are missing/default blank as well and labeled <filename>.desktop. Even if I create a new launcher on the desktop it still won't work.
    For example, I click chromium.desktop, and I get the follow message:
    Untrusted application launcher
    The application launcher "chromium.desktop" has not been marked as trusted. If you do not know the source of this file, launching it may be unsafe.
    Marking it as safe does nothing, launching anyway will work. However, the annoyance of no icons and a <filename>.desktop is rather annoying. If I switch back to my original /home/user$ it works fine again. I even tried binding the raid location to /home/user$ and it still has a problem unless I go back to the original home directory path.
    Any thoughts?

    Removing "user" from the fstab line of the raid fixed this.

  • Main icons are missing

    Just a week ago all the main icons were disappeared! Many icons are missing, like desktop-icon, programs-icon, all the map-icons and so on. The standard program-icon and the documents-icon in the dock is turned to a question mark and in Finder only external icons from applications are shown. Is there a chance that I removed these icons accidentally? And how can I get them back?
    Thank you for your reaction!

    The combo update 10.6.7 didn't work Is it recommended to use time machine and set all files back to week ago?
    this link will show you a picture of the problem:

  • All my desktop icons are Adobe Reader icons, can't access related files

    I was trying to open a file this morning, and when a pop-menu asked what application I wanted to choose (from a list) to open it, I clicked on Adobe Reader - just as a guess.   After that,  just about all my desktop icons are Adobe icons, and when I click on them, the pop up menus says I can't access the file.   These icons also show up on my menu of all my MS Office programs like Outlook, Word, Excel,  etc. 
    Tech support at Adobe recommended I use System Restore, but it also is now an Adobe icon, so I can't open it.    If anyone can help reverse this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks,
    David

    Hi,
    This also happened to me this morning. Now all my icons are PDF symbols and Reader opens when I try to open any other program. I uninstalled Reader it and it fixed itself but when I reinstalled the program the same issue occurred.
    I wanted to make PDF reader the default application when openning PDF's vs. Distiller, tinkered and broke my computer.
    Any clues on how to bring everything back to normaL?

    In that case, there may be a problem with your Finder preferences or window settings.
    Try removing these files, then restarting:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    ~/Desktop/.DS_Store
    Let me know if you're not sure how to do that.

  • Some of my purchased apps icons are missing. how do i get them back on my ipad?

    On my ipad, some of my purchased apps icons are missing. The app store indicates that the apps were purchased so i cannot install them again.  How do I get the icons back?

    - Are the apps missing or are the icons white?
    - If missing have yu tried using the Spotlight search and trying to find them?
    - Have you tried downloading them on your iPad and then syncing?
    - Have you tried deleting them on the computer and then syncing?  That might also delete them from the iPad so you can redownal them
    - Have you tried reetting the iPad?
    Reset iPad:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • TS1702 I synched my phone and now my apps icons are missing on my iphone. I can see them and open them if I go to the app store. How do I get the icons back on my screen?

    HELP, I synced my iphone and computer and now my apps icons are missing on the screen of my iphone. I can access the apps only through the apps store by pressing OPEN. How do I get the icons back on the screen for the apps?

    Make sure your phone is connected to the computer and iTunes is open
    1. Visit Instagram.com from your computer web browser
    2. Click "Download in the app store"
    3. It will download and show up in your iTunes
    4. Highlight and sync the app to your iPhone (note: it will not show up on your phone, even after it says syncing is complete).
    5. In iTunes, select the Instagram icon and click "Remove" or "Uninstall"
    6. Click Accept and Uninstall when it asks you to confirm as it will remove instagram and its data from your iPhone
    7. Disconnect the phone from the computer
    8. Manually reboot the phone after exiting all apps
    9. Upon re-start, you will be able to access the app in the App Store, and install it

  • All my icons are missing from the Menu bar.. help!

    Hi everyone,
    Today I noticed that all my icons are missing from the right hand side of my screen. There is no Wifi, Bluetooth, clock, or Spotlight! How does this happen?!?
    Does anyone have any solutions?
    Thanks, Timmay

    Hi
    One reason for this behaviour is installing a Front Row hack that lets you run Front Row on an unsupported Mac. If this applies to you see Dr. Smoke's Uninstalling the Front Row hack FAQ.

  • Main icons are missing on Dreamweaver cs5.5 after migrating from one mac to another

    Can someone help me? My icons are missing after migrating dreamweaver cs5.5 using migration assistance on a mac. I have no idea how to fix this...

    Migration Assistant is not recommended for transferring DW to another system.
    Uninstall DW in full and do a fresh re-install of DW from the installer (either CD/ DVD or a .DMG file).

  • Updated to IOS 5 and app icons are missing

    I upgraded last night and now some of my app icons are missing. If I do a spotlight search and find the app I can then launch the app from there but I would like to have the icon back to use rather than a workaround.

    After the IOIS 5.0 update my apps weren't showing on my device until I tabbed thru several screens on the phone. The only other issue was when I did a "restore" to new , not from backup because I was issues with the update (Bugs) Did a update and my apps didn't show until I did a " File" ................Transfer Purchases from Iphone.....with the device connected to ITunes...........then  Sync................
