Elements 2.0=Icon suddenly goes generic document; any issues?

With Mac OS 10.4.11 .... With PS Elements 2.0, in use for 4 years--it's all I need--the dock icon suddenly went generic, like a blank page. Is this a minor hiccup? Aside from reversing it, are there any lurking issues I should know, repair or avoid?

I would go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist
PSE 2 paths
PSE 2 settings (may be preferences for PSE 2--I'm using leopard so it's not installed anymore)
repair permissions and see if it works right again

When I click on App Store icon, screen goes blank. Any ideas?

Badge on App Store icon says I have one app to update, so click on the icon, and screen is completely blank white. Info bar at top is visible, as well as a solid gray bar below that info bar, but white from there to bottom of screen. No activity at all. Ideas? Running IOS6 on an iPhone 4

False alarm. App store was frozen, but reset phone three times, and on third try, app store opened.
Thanks

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?

Safari Icon Suddenly Generic?

Out of the blue my Safari icon is now the generic Application icon. Application works fine, just the icon. Could not find any similar posts on the matter. I recently (a few days ago) installed the latest Security update.
Anyone else having this issue? Better fix than hunting down a Safari icon and replacing the icon image?

Hi again, Jeremy,
You are welcome, sorry not much help.
Okay good Safari is in apps. folder, some folks do keep apps. in other places. : )
Did you install anything new, just prior to Safari's icon changing to the generic app icon?
What size is your Safari app? Mine is 21.MB on disk, this is on Tiger 10.4.8
ppc.
Have you tried doing a Disk repair, with a restart from the Tiger install disk 1 cd/dvd, holding the "c"?
Try logging into another user account or test account,is the Safari icon there?
If it isn't I would suggest your reinstall the update that you have running on said computer, you have both, 10.4.1 & 10.4.8 showing in your specs & two different machines therefore I am not clear which is having the issue.
There is a Safari compass icon in the Resources folder.
Applications, highlight Safari, from the Actions menu,
click Show Package Contents/Contents/Resources/ I have tried to copy it so that I could send it to you if you liked, but without much success,
Good luck, please keep us posted.

Photoshop Elements 5.0 Organizer suddenly does not open

I've been using Photoshop Elements 5.0 for over a decade without any problems. Suddenly, the Organizer will not open. I can open the Editor but not the Organizer. What the ---- ????

Thanks for replying with a potential solution. When the Welcome Screen comes up, I tried holding down the shift key as I hit the Organizer icon. That doesn't seem to do anything. The program starts to load - I see the status comments showing the various steps. But then nothing happens - nothing opens. Do you know any other way that I can get to the catalog manager??
Also - if I reinstall the software or upgrade to the latest version of Elements (in order to fix this problem) will I be able to retain all the tags that I've attached to my photos? I have thousands of pictures categorized and tagged and it would take me years to try to find and retag all of the pictures.
Any insight you can provide is much appreciated.

My catalogues and tags are missing from my Organizer in Photoshop Elements 10? What is going on?

My catalogues and tags are missing from my Organizer in Elements 10. What is going on?

Thank you for the advice. I have a PC and the catalogs were for the most part where you said they would be, on the C drive under Program Data\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs. The last six months folder as well as a cruise I took in 2012 is missing but the rest seems to be there. Now I seem to have two Organizers-the one I just found and the one I created with my March 2013 trip pictures. How do I put them together and find them when I click on the Photoshop elements Organizer icon? You mentioned “pointing “ PSE to it in the default mode? How do I do that?

Why does the elements 13 change resolution when going into the editor -- it is huge and unusable

why does the elements 13 change resolution when going into the editor? -- it is huge and unusable

Many mysteries...
Which is your OS version ?
Your screen is 1920 by 1080 pixels.
The problem appeared after having worked normally.
When we select a picture from the organizer (album) and click on the edit button. The editor software changes the entire computer resolution from 1920 x 1080 to 640 x 480 (very unusable).
That's not clear for me: did you click on the 'Edit' button on the bottom right part of the organizer, or did you use the menu or the right click popup menu to open the editor? In the second case, you are in the editor workspace.
We tried right clicking on the Elements 13 icon, select properties and under compatibility we made sure that "run in 640 x 480 screen resolution" was de-selected, and it was. Cannot find any properties window for the editor?
The editor has its properties in the 'Edit/preferences' menu, but there is nothing about resolution there.
Just to be sure : when you are in the organizer with the left 'Folders' panel shown, you highlight one of those pictures to edit. Then you right click and choose to "go to folder". Do the images are shown as 'offline' ? If that is the case, the original are on an external drive which is not connected, and what you are seeing is a 'preview' copy on your computer with 640 x 480 resolution.

Ringtone icons suddenly vanished!

*The Ringtone icon next to every "ringtone enabled" tune I have purchased from the iTunes Store has suddenly vanished!! They were all there earlier today! The ringtone row is visible but no icons! The ringtone "row" is visible ... but not a single icon. HELP!!*

There is a way of recovering Weather, Events, Lonely Planet and Michelin, although it may diminish the amount of free phone memory available. As this works upon both my E72 and E52 it should work upon E5-00 which is a similar S60 3rd Ed. SP2 device.
You would need to download and install this version of Ovi Maps:http://nds1.nokia.com/phones/files/software/maps_installer_3.04_10wk32_b03_s60_3.2.sis whereas 3.04_10wk32_b04 is part of device firmware.
It goes without saying that device needs to be "Online" with a network connection and signed in to your Nokia account, and if this procedure results in any issues a *#7370# or three key depressed power on "hard reset" should return device to factory fresh state:

T41 screen suddenly goes blank - possible overheating?

Having an intermittant problem with my T41, and wondering if anyone has any idea as to the cause.
Most of the time, I use it in a docking station. Sometimes, after I've been using it for a while, the screen suddenly goes blank. There's still hard drive activity, as the light keeps on flashing, but the screen stays blank no matter what I do. The only way out is to do a hard reboot via the power button and, when I switch it back on again, the screen comes back, but usually some of the desktop icons have changed places. One time, the screen resolution had also been reduced to 800x600, and I had to reset it back to 1024x768.
I have noticed recently that, when it does this little screen shutdown trick, the fan doesn't seem to be operating and, if I remove the computer from the docking station, it does seem a bit warm underneath. Then, when I reboot the computer, the fan kicks in right away and seems to be pushing a lot of heat out of the vent in the side.
So does anyone know if this is an overheating issue caused by the fan not kicking in when it should, or could there be another cause? One thing that has me confused is that, according to the Windows fault reporting system, it says its a video driver fault and I should update the driver. So can anyone tell me just what the problem really is?
Edit:
I've been able to find one of the manuals as a PDF, and it seems like the computer is unexpectedly hibernating due to the CPU overheating. Unfortunately, that's all it says, and doesn't give any advice as to how to fix the problem. Does that sound like a correct diagnosis?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Don't know why this topic has been marked as "solved" when it's still an ongoing problem - I certainly didn't mark it as such!
Installed the program you suggested, and ran a few tests. From those, it looks like the issue could be the CPU, not the GPU, that's been overheating and causing the hibernation. With the computer just idling, the CPU temperature reports about 35-38 degrees C, while the GPU sits around the 40-44 degrees C mark. Playing a HD flash video, the GPU temperature went up to around 50 degrees C, while the CPU went up to 69 degrees C. At that point, the fan hadn't kicked in, so I switched from Smart to Manual mode, at which point it started in Mode 7 and brought the CPU temperature back down.
I then ran the test again a few more times with different videos and, with Smart mode selected again, the fan did kick in automatically at around 66 degrees C on the CPU temperature, but only in Mode 1. This seem to just stabilise the temperature, not bring it down, and I had to go to Manual mode to get a higher fan speed.
Before I installed the fan control program, I don't think the fan was kicking in at all, as there was no sign of air coming out of the vent. The only time the fan did kick in was after the reboots, and then only for a minute or so. The program seems to show that both the CPU temperature sensor and the fan are working OK, but it appears that they aren't talking to each other properly. Any ideas why this could be?

Saving always goes to documents folder

Hello,
I've posted this problem before but haven't received a fix for it yet. Perhaps I'm just explaining it wrong. Simply put every time I go to save a document, instead of going to the last folder used in the program it always goes to the documents folder of the user. Also the last folder does not even show up in the drop down of the save window, only the path to the documents folder. The various programs do remember recent documents opened. But the "open file" always goes to documents, not last folder. This was not always the case, but has been for the last 6months or so and I can't seem to correct it.
I've tested the system by adding a new account and seeing if it happen there also or if it is just the one account. But the same situation exists, so it seems to be universal to this computer.
Based on previous threads this is what I've attempted so far:
Deleted in: (myhome)/Library/Preferences
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
com.apple.launchservices.plist
com.adobe.xxxx.plist
com.macromedia.xxxx.plist
ALSO Deleted : /library/caches/com.applelaunchservices-xxxx.csstore (all)
Then restarted computer. This however has not resolved the problem. I know all the work arounds of "put folder in sidebar" and what not, but that doesn't fix the problem. I want to fix this problem.
thanks

I don't know what else you can do, nor why dialogs aren't working correctly. The Open and Save dialogs in most applications are now handled by Apple's Navigation Services, although developers can add some custom things to this basic arrangement. See this article:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Conceptual/ProvidingNavigationDi alogs/nsxconcepts/chapter_2_section2.html
Note especially this paragraph:
"...two types of dialogs can appear—a minimal Save dialog and a full Save dialog. The minimal Save dialog, shown in Figure 1-2, is displayed the first time a user saves a document in an application. This dialog provides a text field for the user to enter a filename. Applications can optionally specify a default filename to display. The dialog has a Where pop-up menu that, by default, suggests the Documents folder for the user. The user can open the pop-up menu to choose from locations previously set in the Finder sidebar or a recently-visited location. If none of those locations are acceptable, the user can click the disclosure button to the right of the text field to access the full Save dialog."
AFAIK the user choices made are then saved to the application's plist file. A list of Recent Items is also written to the com.apple.finder.plist and to the com.apple.recentitems.plist. So if you tossed those two plist files and the application's plist file, plus the sidebar plist for good measure you should get back to the default state. You would then open a dialog, expand it to full navigation view, pick new stuff, and these changes would be written to the respective plists. If this is not happening--if the plists are not being written to--I'm afraid I don't know what else you could do.
If you've never created a test user you might do so (in System Prefs/Acconts), log in to the test user and do some opening and saving (remember you will be at the default of the simple window with the Documents as the usual default). After you've done some open and save actions see if the test user now works correctly, with your actions remembered when you go back after a logout/in. If that is the case, then there is something odd going on in your regular account.

HP LP2065 Monitor suddenly goes black for a second occasionally

Hi all,
I have an HP LP2065 LCD monitor that I use with my 2 desktops that dual boot with Windows 7 and Vista . Lately the monitor will suddenly go black for less than a second. This happens randomly and not all the time, and only a few times each day. I have made sure that the driver is up to date on both computers. I have tried to troubleshoot the issue, but, nothing out of the ordinary is found.
What would cause the monitor to suddenly go black?
Any suggestions or information would be greatly appreciated.

Hello TinkRbelle,
I understand your monitor is going blank for a second or two at random intervals. As you have two operating systems getting the same issue I think we can rule out software. I would start by unplugging the power from the wall and from the monitor and holding the power button down on the monitor for 30 seconds or so. Plug it back in and see if the issue persists. If it does replace the power cord/adatper.
Please re-post if you require additional support. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
