Dreamweaver CS6 displaying the wrong icon for certain file types

I recently upgraded to the Maverick and I noticed that my Dreamweaver changed some of my files' icon to Acrobat Reader symbol. This does not represent the actual file type. My most important files, such as mp3 and m4v, are not displaying correctly. My concern is that it is affecting my website. How do I change the icons back to the original file type icons? Much needed help! Thanks!

What do local file associations have to do with your website? You have a severely wrong understanding of this stuff. Anyway, file associations on Mac can be changed using a right-click and Get Info and then choosing a new default program for the file type.

Mouse cursor displays the wrong icon

My cursor still changes based on the context, like hovering over a link or in a text field, but displays the wrong icon. After focusing a text field, the cursor is a reggular arrow in the text editor and turns to the text staff outside of it when it should be an arrow.
I just did a fresh install of 10.6.8 on a crucial m4 - ct256m4ssd
I FOUND THAT RESIZING THE MOUSE CURSOR IN THE UNIVERSAL ACCESSS PREFERENCES temporarily restores the cursor to a size-adjusted mouse, until I do something like click in a text field.

just re-install the os

Windows Media Player has somehow made itself the dealt video player for certain file types?

Title should say default
I have Windows 7 installed in a virtual machine but I didn't think Windows Media Player would barge it's way onto my Mac and start making itself the default player for files here too -.- I even right clicked on the file, click open with.. chose vlc and checked the change all box. This worked and now when I double click the file it will open with vlc, but when I right click it, it still says that Windows Media Player is still the default player for this file type.

Don't know much about WMPlayer, but if FCE has multiple audio tracks a "MIX Down Audio" should be done just prior to the export.

Upgraded to 10.3.1.55, now can't set iT as default player,"An error occurred when updating the default player for audio files types. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." How to fix?

After I upgraded iTunes, iTunes doesn't recognize CD in the drive, apparently isn't the default player. It won't let me set iTunes as the default player, I get the error message "An error occurred when updating the default player for audio files types." I tried Whitesides' remedy (changing Read Only status in folder in Windows) but it didn't solve the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Oddly enough. I think I just solved it. It looks like, for some reason, my computer has about 8 different "iTunes music" folders, and I've been saving my music to the wrong one. Neat. Music now imports and plays as it should. Copying things over is going to be so fun tonight!

"An error occurred while updating the default player for audio file types"

Getting ready for a deployment of version 9.2 of iTunes for 1400+ users.
Getting this error when a 'normal' user goes into Edit/Preferences of iTunes and makes no changes.
"An error occurred while updating the default player for audio file types. you do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
I've elevated privileges of the C:\program files\itunes directory for this user to Full Control however problem remains.
Tried to modify the folder to remove 'read-only', as found this suggestion on here, but read-only keeps applying itself.
User has full rights to the location of the media as specified under Advanced Tab. If I tick 'Set as default media player' and remove tick and then click OK I do not get the error. From what I've read it's affected older versions of iTunes also.
Doe anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I had a similar issue. Turned out that - somehow - one of the directories or files in my iTunes music folder had gotten set to read only. Fixing it was easy.
Go to Edit/Preferences.
Choose the Advanced tab
in the General subtab select the contents of the box labeled "iTunes Music folder location"
Click Start, choose Run
Paste the location
Press the button to move up one level
Right-click the music folder, choose Properties
If this is your problem, the read-only box will be a solid color or checked. Set it to empty and choose the default "apply to folder and all subfolders and files." This will set everything in there readable, which after I did so I stopped getting the error.

Remove the unique icon for movie files

In Finder, I get a custom icon for each movie file that is the first frame of the movie. That doesn't help me, so I want to change it to only show the QuickTime image as a custom icon. This is the behavior of Tiger and it was useful to me. I don't get any benefit out of seeing the first frame. I get a benefit out of instantly knowing it is a movie file. Please reply if you know how to revert Leopard to using the application icon rather than the first frame image as the document icon.

Progress? I think not. Anyone know a hack to make the Finder show app icon for all files at once?
Open a Finder window, go to Macintosh HD (or whatever the boot volume is called in your system), click the little gear icon/button, and select "Show View Options", then un-tick "Show icon preview", and click on the "Use as Defaults" button (if this button is not active, select a different option from the Arrange drop-down menu, and it will activate).

Can't set plugins (like Quicktime, to be run in FF) for certain file types

When I go to the application tab in options, I don't have the option to select a plugin for certain files - I'm trying to get Quicktime to open mp3s in Firefox, I know it can, it use to do that on my old computer, but Firefox doesn't give me the option - I see it listed for other files, but it doesn't appear for this one.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Still more data. iTunes on the Vista machine will still not allow me to change the location of the iTunes Folder with the Browse button. It acts like the network doesn't exist.
But, surprisingly, if I go to File-Add File to Library, the network appears! Even stranger, File-Add Folder to Library, the network does NOT appear.
Again, the network is clearly operationaly, and iTunes can even see the network in the Add File menu, but refuses to see it in the Advanced menu or Add Folder.
It's not that Apple doesn't want me to be able to do this, because all of my XP machines running 7.6 do this flawlessly. There is clearly some bug between 7.6 and Vista.
Rummaging around the forums convinces me that this is a pretty common problem, but I haven't found an answer yet.
Thanks for any help,

Globally setting icon for a file type

I've been using LilyPond a lot recently. The .ly files it saves don't have their own icon, though, they just get the generic document icon. I know that I can manually set an icon for a single file using 'Get Info', but it's not practical now because I have so many .ly files. Is there a way I can tell OS X to use my own icon every time it sees a .ly file?
Thanks,
(- Steve -)

Hi, Stephen.
If by LilyPond you mean this application, it's the application's responsibility to assign the custom icon for files it creates, e.g. .ly files you edit and save in LilyPond. You might want to send feedback concerning this to the developers. However, as I understand the application based on a quick review of its manual, it can work with any plain-text (ASCII) file.
You can change the default application in which all .ly files open by using the instructions in "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Changing the application that opens a document." That may result in those files bearing the same icon as the LilyPond application. That is also the mechanism by which a given icon is assigned to all files of a given type.
Good luck!

How do you make console apps the default application for a file type?

I have a console movie player, mplayer, that I like a lot. I've compiled it from source on my intel core2 macbook pro and it works fine. There is no gui, but to play movie files you open up a terminal and type the command mplayer /path/to/file. I would like mplayer to play a movie file automatically when I double click on the file, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. I tried setting it in the file info dialogue, but when I go to the path of the binary I want, it is not selected. How can I set a console app as my default application for my file type?

there is a GUI mplayer for OS X. why don't you use it instead of the command line one?
if you insist on using the command line mplayer then the only way to do this is to put a GUI wrapper on it. this can be done with automator or apple script for example. but really, why don't you just use the GUI mplayer?

Mountain Lion doesn't display Finder preview icons for .ARW files? (RAW pictures taken with SONY cameras)

This is something that I find rather ridiculous, and have a hard time believing no-one at Apple has addressed yet.
Basically the problem is that neither Mountain Lion nor Lion show Finder thumbnail preview images for pictures that are taken with SONY digital cameras.
This is something that Snow Leopard, as well as multiple earlier iterations of OS X used to do without any problem. The professional photographer community who uses SONY professional DSLR cameras is up in arms about this. And we've all been crossing our fingers that perhaps the Mac OS X 10.7.1, 10.7.2, 10.7.3, 10.7.4, or possibly the 10.8 update would fix this issue for us.
Several of us have filed bug reports over the past year or two. See this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3213982?tstart=0
This is a flaw in Apple's operating system. Especially considering that there are supposedly 200+ "new features" which were just released in Mountain Lion.
Those of us who work with SONY cameras every day would probably have paid the $19.99 upgrade price for just one "feature". And not even a new one. An old one. The ability to see our pictures in the Finder. Pretty basic stuff.
Hopefully someone fixes this for us with the release of Mac OS X 10.8.1
Please. And thank you.

I can see image icons for all my pre-MtLion images. These are the folder images (Icons), and all the photo images (icons) on all my hard drives. IE If I have a folder of 300 wedding pictures, they all show the picture image above the file name in the icon view. So if I want to open a picture of the "Flower Girl" I can see the image (icon) of the Flower Girl. Without the image showing all I see is the filename... Smith-212.tif. Now with Mt. Lion I CAN'T see any IMAGES (ICONS) on any of the 300 photos. Just the file names in all the different views.... Icon View, List VIew, etc. If I have a Folder with 23 more folders inside, they don't even show up either. I saw a step by step process of selecting the file and right clicking on it and opening it in Preview, then doing a copy and then pasting it on the original image in tghe get info window. WHAT A PURE PAIN TO HAVE TO DO THIS TO 170,375 IMAGES.
The other issue I have is that 93.5 % of the remaining icons that do exist on my system is that those 93.5 % are so pixelated they appear as a hugh checkerboard viewed through two inch thick glasses..... not for drinking, but the kinda glasses used by a blind man. IE the remaining icons are so PIXELATED it is almost impossible to tell what they are.
BEN WELLAND...... What did you do to get this point?
Thank you, thank you, thank you, to whomever at Apple finally fixed this.
After updating to Mountain Lion 10.8.2, SONY .ARW files (and I'm assuming Pentax .PEF files too) now render proper thumbnail icons in the Finder in list view, icon view, coverflow view, and columns view.
Since this is now a recognized bug, I'm guessing that the free update to Lion (10.7.5) that Apple also just released yesterday (September 19th, 2012) will probably fix this issue too.
Hooray!
I have OS 10.8.2 and nothing has changed as far as being able to see photos / folders as image icons...
rendered proper thumbnail icons.
I have thousands of photo files that show nothing other that the file names.
The only way I can even see the file is to open it in Photoshop, or open the folder in Bridge. Even then after I open it in PS CS6, and save it again. It still is a "Empty" file...... no render proper thumbnail.

Any help will be appreciated.

The Gmail icon for attaching files does not work in Firefox

I have tried the config change for network.http.spdy.enabled to false, and quite a few other suggestions for this problem, some from years ago.
Only the attach file icon is affected. Dragging files into gmail works to attach them, just the icon is not working.
Very perplexing.

Try allowing pop up windows
Open Menu
Options
Content (on the top)
Click Exceptions...
Type mail.google.com in address of website area
Click Allow
Try to open attachment window now.
Restart FireFox and try adding attachment again.

Unable to replace the default icon with the application icon for SIS files on packaging

Hi,
I got hold of the earlier (now removed from Adobe) available Adobe Mobile Packager (the free version). Now the problem is that I see the default packager icon on my phone for my Flash Lite application. Also, the packager does not allow me to select my application icon. I have placed the desired icon in the output folder along with its svg; doesn't help either.

You mentioned that you implemented loopback merge mode. It's possible some of the settings being included in the merge are interfering with your new file associations. Have you checked to see if there are any conflicting file
associations in other GPOs that may be applying? If so, you may want to experiment with loopback
replace mode.
Also check to see if any file associations are being set in the computer configuration settings, since you are attempting to set associations in the user configuration. In a merge scenario the computer policy is processed after the user policy, and
has precedence if any of the settings conflict.

Reset icons for a file type system wide?

All of the .mpg files on my system are from a camcorder that records MPEG-2 video with 5.1-channel audio that QuickTime cannot play.
By default all of these .mpg files had a QuickTime icon, even though QuickTime can't play them. I assigned a different application (VLC) to these files through the normal Get Info >> Open With >> Change All method and now all of my .mpg files open with VLC and play just fine.
However, after I pressed Change All it seems the system changed about half of the icons on my .mpg files to VLC's icon and left the rest with QuickTime icons.
Is there any way to change all the .mpg icons back to one or the other (preferably VLC, since that's what actually plays them)?
Needless to say changing icons one file at a time would be too time consuming.
Any help appreciated.

The problem I had may be similar to yours. I de-installed iWork 8, after testing it. I have a registered copy of iWork 6 and i was happy.
Anyway, after the de-installation all the Pages icons where folder icons!?! While searching the net for a solution, because none of the described methods worked, I remembered that *Onyx, the maintenance program, has a function to delete and rebuild the application-file links*.
So I did this and everything was fine after assigning the default application (Pages)...except one of my pdf file icons on the desktop was broken, so be aware!

HT2531 Spotlight won't open finder for certain file types

I had Evernote installed a year or so back and used it for a short while. Then I started using springpad and deleted Evernote from my Mac.
Ever since, old notes have shown in spotlight, but CMD+Click wouldn't reveal them in finder. I've re-installed Evernote to try and help the situtaion, but alas, the old notes are still indexed (not merged from wherever they're hiding as I'd hoped).
I've re-indexed the Mac, (exclude HDD from spotlight under system preferences and then re-indexed) but they've re-indexed again. So they must be actual files somewhere.
Example, I have an old note called 'expenses address'.
Finder won't find 'expenses address' but Spotlight does. CMD+ click opens evernote... but not the note.
The quickpreview from spotlight shows exenses address as p36.ennote (in the quick preview), but again, finder won't find that either (p36.ennote). I've used terminal to show all file types, but still no joy with either search.
I've dug around in the User>LIbrary>Application support, found the evernote folder, but it's not in there either.
I've also had a poke around HDD>Library>Application support, but evernote doesn't seem to save data there either.
I share my iTunes folder with another user on my Mac and my Apps are backed up from my Iphone and iPad, but the evernote app isn't one of them.
I'm at a loss with regards to where these msytery files could be.
Any advice?

Not sure if this helps, but this is how a 're-indexed' file shows up in Spotlight, but finder won't locate it and CMD+click won't either.
