Desktop Icons change at start-up

This is just a minor problem but it is bothering me. Everytime (or it seems like everytime) I (re)start my computer, I get to the desktop and the Macintosh HD icon has moved from it's original location in the upper right of the desktop. What is the reason for this? I find this quite odd. I recently had to do an erase and install so anything I am noticing that is out of the ordinary I am raising questions about. Thank you.

Hi mrescobar11!
Positioning Desktop icons, too close to the edge of the screen, will cause them to reposition themselves on restart.
Positioning them too close to each other, will cause this as well.
Depending on how many you have displayed, and the size of your screen, the Size of the icons, as well as the Text size & Label position can also factor in. Experiment with these settings.
My Desktop icons do not reposition themselves, and this is how I have my Desktop View Options set.
Icon size: 32 x 32
Text size: 12 pt
Label position: Bottom
I have none of the following options selected.
Snap to grid
Show item info
Show icon preview
Keep arranged by
A different configuration may work for you. Experiment with the options until you find something suitable.
Click on an open area of your Desktop.
From the Finder's Toolbar, position your cursor over "View" and pull down to "Show View Options", and click. Or use the Command + J keys.

Desktop icons change size when I move the cursor

Intermittently, when I move the cursor with my trackpad, the desktop icons change size—minimize going from 44 to 16 icon size. This happens with the Finder in the foreground or background.
I think there's a fix, but I cannot find it.
All help appreciated,
Bill

Press Command-Option-8. Someone apparently turned on Zoom. (See System Preferences > Universal Access and click the Options button next to Zoom for more information.)

Desktop Icons Change Positions After Restart

Hi,
After I inadvertently synced my computer with another Mac computer my icons change position after restart. I was trying to sync another computer to mine.
I have tried the usual suggestions of taking out com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.desktop.plist and letting the system create these new files but the problem still persists. I also checked the Finder > View > Show View Options and arrange by none is still selected.
Does anyone have a suggestion how I can fix this problem? Will I have to go back in time with Time Machine and restore my entire system to solve this?
I can't operate with the desktop icons changing positions like this.
Thanks,

Delete the hidden .DS_Store file associated with your Desktop folder. Launch the Terminal.app (in /Applications/Utilities/), copy & paste the following command into the window that pops up, hit the return key, quit the Terminal.app, OPTION-click and hold the Dock's Finder icon, and select Relaunch:
*rm ~/Desktop/".DS_Store"*
Now, set the Desktop as desired, log out and back in, and the Desktop should be as it was as you last set it.

Desktop icons change during startup

When I start my MBP, I've noticed some of the icons on the desktop (say a spreadsheet) have a nice looking, easily recognizable image, but as the menu bar loads, some of the icons change, to a something different and usually lose their color, going to back and white.
Any ideas what's going on?

Jp

HI James,
Not certain what could cause that but try booting from your install disk and run Disk Utility.
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
And run the Apple Hardware Test also. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2684

Why have all my desktop icons changed to PDF when I installed Reader?

I just installed Adobe Reader, and all of my desktop icons have changed, and nothing will open. How can I fix this?

Hi Carol ,
This seems to happen just because the file associations of the files and folders have been changed and because of that you are experiencing this issue .
To change file associations you could refer the following link and see if that fixes the issue .This link is for windows 7 .

If I mak Firefox my default browsr, will the appearance of my Desktop Icons change? I had this problem with Goog. Chrom. I am using Wind. XP and Inter. Expl. 8.

When I made Google Chrome my default browser, the appearance of my desktop Icons was (nearly) completely changed. Will I experience this if I make Firefox my default browser? I could just go ahead and try Firefox as my default browser and see what happens, but I am running Mozilla Fences and have spent a lot of time getting the appearance of the desktop icons just the way I want them to be.

Firefox shouldn't change the icon of anything except files you set for it to open as deafult. For example, if you have an HTML file on your desktop and set Firefox to open it by default, it will change the icon to Firefox.

Illustrator desktop icons change after trying Inkscape?

A couple of days ago, just out of curiosity, I tried out Inkscape. Of course, I was unimpressed, trashed it, and removed XQuartz.
Afterwards, I found that all of my Illustrator desktop icons had changed to odd square generic document icons with the "To place or open this file in other applications..." text in the preview. Doing a "save as copy" from the file didn't change this. Creating a new Illustrator file and saving created a normal preview, but it was still displayed in that same kind of square icon.
Otherwise, Illustrator works fine, no problems I can see -- it's just that the desktop icons for Illustrator files aren't standard Illustrator file icons anymore. A minor nitpicky annoyance, granted, but I'd be interested in knowing how I can fix this.
I'm running Illustrator CS6 on a late 2013 MacBook Pro with OSX 10.8.5.
Thanks in advance,

Just tried it a moment ago after seeing your reply. Didn't seem to work. In fact, as I recall, that was the first thing I did the other night.
The files were still opening into Illustrator OK, but not displaying standard .ai document icons, so associations weren't really the problem, from the looks of it. Seems as if something else somewhere has jerked around the icons for .ai documents.

Desktop Icons Change

After I download Adobe Reader all the icons change to Adobe symbols and I can not open them.

What is your operating system & version?
If it is Windows 7 or Vista, see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/application-file-icons-change-acroba t.html

Desktop icons change their size on their own

The icons on my 2011 Macbook Pro 17" just started to change their size on their own. I first thought that I've pressed a shortcut or something but sometimes the icons will just go to maximum or minimum size on their own. Then I have to go to the menue and set it back to the normal size.
Can somebody tell me what to do ? It happens 3-4 times a day and drives me crazy.

Markus...
Go to ~/LIbrary/Prerrences
Move the com.apple.desktop.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.
The (Tilde) character represents your Home folder.

My desktop Icons Change Size and Spacing Without My Permission?

This morning, all was well. The icons on the desktop were small and their text was 10pt and the spacing was reasonably tight. I left the house to run some errands and when I came back the icons are all 48 x 48, the text is 12pt and the spacing is at its maximum. If I have any folders left open (which I do for work in progress) they are all showing the home folder and there is no way to go back to where they were before.
This seems to happen about once a week. It is annoying.
I am assuming it is a sleep related problem. How do I fix it?
Thanks.

Firefox shouldn't change the icon of anything except files you set for it to open as deafult. For example, if you have an HTML file on your desktop and set Firefox to open it by default, it will change the icon to Firefox.

Hard Drive Desktop Icon Changed

I noticed that there is a small letter k under my hard drive icon. This showed up out of nowhere. I have not made any recent changes.What is the explanation for this and could there be a potential problem? If so, how do I resolve this? Thank you.

Greetings,
Click on the icon for the hard drive, open up File/Get Info and see what it says in Name & Extension. Put in whatever name you want there.

How would I set the LabVIEW Execution Display.vi to automatically run a sequence from a desktop icon or the Start Menu Launcher.vi

LabVIEW does not support command line arguments. Are there some modifications to the Execution Display.vi that would enable this behavior?

Hi,
This mods is to the LabVIEW OI supplied with TS2.0.1 and labVIEW 6.1
In the TestStand - Runtime Operator Interface.vi, the cmdline is obtained and the full path to the sequence file is stored in a global variable. When the Sequence Display is launched and the case First Time is executed. The cmd line global is checked for an empty string, if its not then the string is concatated with the string 'Open Sequence File - No Prompt|' and put on the message queue. This will result in the sequence file being opened.
The cmd line parsing is pretty basic. the argument is nothing or the full pathname to the sequence file.
If this is what you are after then send your email to [email protected]
I tried to attach the vi's but I am having some problems with thi
s. Probably a size restriction.
Hope this helps.

Why does the latest version of ITunes change all of my web based icons to ITunes programs and all of my desktop icons to the ITunes icons?

when downloading itunes why all my web based programs change to itunes programs and all of the desktop icons change to itune icons?

That's because iTunes is registering itself as the default application to open those kinds of files. I believe you can stop that behavior when you install it. To revert a file type's default handler you need to select it and select "Get Info" from the File menu and change the settings under "Open with:" to your desired application.
