Desktop Icons are not the correct icons

Here's an image with the issue:
The icons with the orange are supposed to be the hard drive icons. Anyone come across this when internal hard drives now have a different icon?
Thanks,
Robert.

"nothing appears on the desktop that is plugged in"
As stated, iPods and iPhones won't appear on your desktop as items.
If by "nothing" you mean that pen drives, or any USB drive doesn't show up, then you could have a duff USB port.
Try a pen drive - if that shows, then all your hardware is OK. If not, check if Disk Utility sees it. If Disk Utility doesn't see it, then go back to Apple or wherever you bought your MacBook Pro.
You could attach your iPod, then open iTunes and if iTunes sees your iPod, then again, all is OK.
Regarding your 'phone, it would be up to the phone manufacturer to issue software to enable the phone to appear on your desktop as a device. Some produce this for Windows - very few do for Mac.
You can see details regarding mounting a Samsung on a Mac at:-
http://forum.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s-phones/36313-samsung-wont-mount -my-mac.html
I know yours is a mytouch but as they're both Android, the feature should be common to both.
Let us know if it works.

Hey sunnyday7!
Here is an article that can help you address this issue:

Some icons are not shown correctly in Gnome tray

The image should tell everything. In the tray there should be icons from Guake, Dropbox and Skype. However only Skype is visible. Does anyone know where could be the problem?
I noticed that Synergy icon behaves also wrongly.
thanks

Just now, I installed LabVIEW 2012 f3 (32-bit, English) and checked for the issue. But the font(NI7SEG) was not shown properly in VI either.
- Both of Korea and English version of LabVIEW 2012 on Win 7 Korea OS shows wrong results. It is same on 64-bit OS.
- LabVIEW 2010 but on same PC shows correct fonts.
Is there a limit of number of fonts in LabVIEW? There are more than 100 fonts are shown in the "Selection Font" dialog and I can divide them into 3 groups by sequential order. I find that all fonts in the 3rd group are not applied correctly.
(1st group)
Arial Unicode MS...
Bookshelf Symbol 3....
Windings 3
(2nd group)
@Arial Unicode MS...
@Terminal
(3rd group)
Arial...
Consolas...
Courier...
Licida Console...
NI7SEG...
Verdana

Dreamweaver file icons are not displaying correctly.

Hi,
I recently uninstalled a trial copy of the Creative Suite CS4 Master Collection and then purchased the Design Premium bundle.
My icons are now all differnet. For example, .asp files display with the "text" document icon.
Is there a way (either mnaually or with a utility) to reset all of the icons to there proper state?
I am running Vista Ultimate.
Thanks.

Open Notepad.
Copy this text into a new document:
c:\windows\system32\cleanmgr.exe /dc /sageset: 1
c:
cd \
cd c:\windows\prefetch
del *.* /q
Save to your desktop as "clean.bat" ( a Windows Batch File)
Double click it. It will open the disk cleanup tool.
You'll notice a whole bunch of other stuff listed that doesn't show up when you normally run the disk cleanup.
Check EVERYTHING. (Don't worry, if these were important files, Windows wouldn't list them as cleanable to save space.)
Close the disk cleanup.
Right click the clean.bat file and choose Edit.
In the first line where it says sageset:, change it to sagerun: then save and close the file.
Double click it again and will run a thorough cleanup of your C:/ drive, including some windows cache files that hold icon preferences for file types.
Reboot when it finishes and see if the icons aren't set right.

Mail icon is not the mail icon.... it's gone

I came home today to see my "mail" icon is now a piece of paper, with a ruler, pen and pencil on it. It's looks like another icon but that one is called "configuration". I can't get to mail, it's not in my applications - it's no where. help.
That's my first problem - my second problem is I spent a TON - A TON of money on this computer and I can't get a person to help me out with this???? Really Apple??? with all the money you make???? 50 bucks for a problem that I'm sure you could fix in 10 seconds!?!?! I'm extremely unhappy right now!

First, did you check EF settings to Scan all files, Ignore Case, Files and Folders, Invisible Files and Folders? If you really can't find it, if it's really AWOL, (and I really don't know if, or understand why, the update -- you did run the Security Update, right? -- would have completely nuked it), one possibility would be to apply the 10.6.8 Combo Update, although I have a feeling that won't replace a totally missing application. But could give it a try.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
The other thing to do is to reinstall Mail from Optional Installs (I think it's there) from the 10.6 install DVD.
I really don't think it's gone. It has to be somewhere. I don't see the update removing it completely.
If you find it, move it to the proper location, then run the Combo Update and, next, the Security Update again.

All of the icons are internet explorer. how do i restore the correct icons to match the program?

All of the shortcut icons on my HP G60 computer are Internet Explorer. Also, the icons on the taskbar and the startup listing are also Internet Explorer. I have tried to restore the computer, but I got the error # 0x8000ffff. I have worked and worked, but i cannot get the shortcut icons to revert back to the default settings. Any help appreciated

Hi,
This is from Microsoft support:
If for any reason, one or more icons are not showing correctly, you can repair by rebuilding the icon cache. Icon cache is a hidden file located at the Local Folder. Here is how to do it:
1. Open Windows Explorer (any folder/drive).
2. As the IconCache is a hidden file, you need to enable “Show hidden files” option to see the same. To do this, head over to Tools > Folder Options, switch to View tab, and finally enable Show Hidden files, folders, and drives option.
3. Now navigate to C:\Users\username\AppData\Local folder and then delete IconCache.db file.
4. Reboot your computer to rebuild the icon cache.
5. All icons should be displayed correct now.
But, before rebuilding icon cache, I'd suggest you to create a restore point .
Regards.

[Solved] Some icons are not shown in certain websites.

For example:
trello.com
gist.github.com
is like this:
many icons are not shown correctly. It happens to all browsers(firefox,chromium,opera) I tried in archlinux. So I guess it' s an issue with some graphic library.
It also happens to a gitlab server site I set up:
How can I debug this? Does it happen at your place?
EDIT: Solved by uninstalling change colors extension for chromium, deleting .mozilla solves for firefox, still happens for opera.

Sorry. I don't understand. Perhaps creating a phone case will be the better way to go(?). Phone cases can be obtained here;

HT4976 Some of emojis are not showing correctly in web view text are.

When I input emojis in webview's text area, some are not showing as a emojis, they are showing as a symbole e.x. ☺ (WHITE SMILING FACE),✌(VICTORY HAND) e.t.c., these are not the correct emoji as they are showing in apple device keyboard.
Can you please sugges me what should i do ?

Is Webview an app? If so, it may not support the Emoji font. Or, if you're talking about typing in a web page, the same maybe true. The iPhone Emoji font frequently shows up as garbage characters on other phones. It sound as if it's being converted to the Symbol font in whatever your trying to use it. Avoid use of the Emoji font unless you are communicating with other iOS devices.

I have just updated to ISO 8 and my app icons are not displaying the correct icon but just a generic icon. Anyone had a similar problem?

I have just updated to ISO 8 and my app icons are not displaying the correct icon but just a generic icon. Anyone had a similar problem?

That happened to me for a short period of time after I updated. It didn't do it with all apps, but it did it with a few here and there. Try a few basic standard troubleshooting steps. Close all apps and reset the iPad.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
You can also try resetting all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.
Hopefully it will be something simple, but don't rule out restoring the iOS software, if nothing else works, but start with this easy stuff first.

Desktop shortcuts to web pages don't have the correct icon, can this be corrected?

I just upgraded from IE to Firefox and it's really working well. The only problem is all the shortcuts to websites on my desktop have the Firefox icon. They had their correct icons under IE how can I get the correct icons back? My computer is running Windows XP

If you're using Internet Explorer as your default browser, you can create a shortcut via drag & drop and it will take on the web site's favicon if there is one. FireFox just gives it the default icon for the browser.
It's certainly not a deal breaker (this is one of the VERY few things that's better on IE) but it would be helpful if FF's drag & drop shortcuts could also take on the site's favico automatically.
This add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/9548 or cor-el's solution are ok for those whose shortcuts are more static in nature. However, I often drag a shortcut to the desktop for a site that I'll visit later on (because my bookmarks are a mess LOL), but will eventually delete the shortcut after visiting the site again, usually within several days. In my case, it's not worth the extra effort to manually save and assign the favicon for each shortcut, so it would be nice if this could happen automatically like it does with IE.

Cairo-dock bar icons are not being displaying correctly

I have an intel HD4000 3rd generation (lvy bridge) and extra/xf86-video-intel 2.21.15-1 (xorg-drivers xorg) installed. My laptop is a i7-3630. When I launch cairo-dock using opengl the icons in the bar are not displayed until I move the mouse over and once displayed, the tooltips are not displayed correctly. I mean, icons appear when the cursor passes over them. This is only happening in 3D panel and curve view. The rest of view, parabolic, static panel, etc... works perfectly.
isn't intel HD4000 compatible with opengl?

I have tried what is stated here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … ion_method
but it does not work, using sna hardware acceleration instead of uxa:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
EndSection
If I launch cairo as:
$ cairo-dock -c
or
$ env LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 cairo-dock -o
then it works.
Also, it seems to be a bug, see here:

I had the same issue when I first tried cairo-dock on my ZenBook (Core i5). In addition to missing icons or backgrounds, everything looked like it was covered in static.
What are you using for your X compositing manager? I'm using OpenBox with LXDE components, so at the time I was using xcompmgr for compositing. I didn't have much success with either OpenGL or Cairo acceleration.
However, I recently switched to using Compton from the AUR as my compositing manager. With Compton everything about cairo-dock works flawlessly using OpenGL. You might give that a try and see if it helps.
Also, if you're on the most recent version of the Intel drivers SNA is now the default acceleration method, so you no longer need to manually enable it in your xorg.conf.d files.
I am using the default that comes with gnome3, mutter.
I have installed in my system the below packages:
extra/mutter 3.10.0.1-1 (gnome)
extra/mutter-wayland 3.10.0.1-2
extra/clutter 1.16.0-1
extra/clutter-gst 2.0.8-1
extra/clutter-gtk 1.4.4-4
extra/mash 0.2.0-3
I have installed compton and also cairo-dock and cairo-dock-plugins. Once I execute it from terminal by doing cairo-dock a lot of errors, the same as posted here in the previous post appear, and automatically advanced config view is opened. THen If first time i swith to basic view, it remains in advanced view, and If a second time I try to switch to basic view, then it exits. Any ideas?

I want the website icon, not the Firefox icon on my desktop.

When I create a shortcut on my desktop I get the Firefox icon, not the website icon, which is the icon I want for easy and quick identification. How can I EASILY get rid of the Firefox icon and replace it with the website icon?

Please do not dig up old threads about this issue.
You have read that Firefox doesn't do that and that you need to change the icon of the default browser that such a link gets to the website's favicon yourself if you are not satisfied with the default icon. You have to change the icon via the Properties of the shortcut. You can usually save the favicon via the "Firefox/Tools > Page Info > Media" window.

Some of the apps are not showing in the launchpad only the names are not the icon

Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
When the menubar appears select Terminal from the Utilities menu. Enter resetpassword at the prompt and press RETURN. Follow instructions in the dialog window that will appear.
Or see Reset a Mac OS X 10.7 Lion Password and OS X Lion- Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.

Desktop Icons are not the correct icons
