Finder does not display icon for word / excel in list view

Hi,
I got a new macbook air, with Yosemite pre installed. I copied over all my files (from my old macbook using a USB drive) and next I installed MS office for mac.
For some reason Finder does not display the correct excel of word icon in list view (I set preview thumbnail to NO in view options), but it it displays the generic file icon.
It appears to be very random, as some files do display the icon and others do not. It also appears to have nothing to do with the doc/docx xls/xlsx variations.
Also some of my parallels icons do not display correctly in list view.
When I open a INFO panel, it does show the correct icon. Example below:
Any body know how to reset / fix this ?

Still got no solution...
There has to be some one that knows about this ..?
Any professionals reading this that can point in some direction for a solution?

I have lost the icons for Word, Excel, etc. from the bottom of my screen - how do I get them back?

I have lost the icons for Word, Excel, iTunes, etc. from the bottom of my desktop - how do I get them back?

Easy-these are just aliases. Do a cloverleaf+F/command+F (Find) and they should appear. Either create an alias and drag it to the dock-or there's an "add to Dock" command in the Finder. so click on whichever app you'd like to add to the Dock, then add to Dock and it should appear there. If something isn't in the Dock that doesn't mean it's gone for good. It's just an alias
well, hope that helped

Adobe Bridge CS3 - does not display thumbnails for Canon 40D or 50D RAW files

I wanted to use Bridge to view my Canon EOS 50D RAW files and it does not display the thumbnails, just icons. I checked my 40D cr2 files and saw same thing.
I have purged the cache and rest the cache preferences and it has not helped. I would like to be abl eto view the thumbnails of the RAW files via Bridge if possible. Jpg files and Tif files can be viewed without any issues.
Am using Bridge version 2.1.1.9 and Pshop CS3 10.0.1

I have the exact same problem. I can view my RAW file thumbnails (which are .ARW files from my Sony A200 camera) in the Finder and in other applications, such as Preview, but not in Adobe Bridge CS3. I know that I did try purging the cache at one point to see if that would fix it, but then I didn't know what to do after that. Before I purged the cache, I was able to view RAW thumbnails in Bridge, but then they would not increase in size when I tried using the slider (at the bottom right of the Bridge window)

Favicon.ico image does not display consistently for our application,

Hi,
We have configured a favicon.ico for our application as below code snippet and referring to the favicon.ico image correctly. The icon file is available in our war file post deployment. The problem is some times it displays correctly and sometimes it does not display correctly.
<af:outputText value="<link rel='SHORTCUT ICON' href='#{facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath}/images/favicon.ico'/>" id="favicon" escape="false"/>
Can anyone point to any issue related to browser caching or application server caching and any possible fix to this intermittent behavior.
regards,
Chandra.

Browser caching might be a problem, but we can't help as it is a browser issue. All I can say is to clear the browser cache and see if the problem can be reproduced. If yes it doesn't look like a browser problem. Then you have to check if you are connection via proxy which might cache images too. Ask your network admin for help then.
Do you see this problem only with one browser? Have you check other browsers?

Finder does not display my external drives as devices

When connecting my Kindle 2 to my imac (Lion), the kindle does not come up in Finder as an external device. However, I know it's there because when I pull up Disk Utility, there it is as a 3.24 GB Kindle Internal Storage Device.
As a matter of fact, none of my external drives show...I have a MyBook and anothers external hard drive connected for backups (all show in DU as well).
I checked Preferences in Finder and Hard Disks and External Disks are both checked to "Show these items on sidebar" but do not display.
What am I missing here?
Thanks,

Go to Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences trash these files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then, restart, or log out and in again.

Firefox and Twitter and Finder does not display

I have recently upgraded to Lion recently. The Transition was way rougher compare to the Snow Leopards.
I am running a MBP 15", 2009 Mid-2009 version.
It has 2 graphic cards on board, 9400m and 9600GT.
When I first launched Lion, I was quite shock that my Firefox and Twitter do not display at all.
After tweaking the system preferences, I realized that when the 9400m graphic card is activated, there isn't any display on several of the Applications,
including the popular ones like Finder, Twitter and Firefox. The issues are fix when I switch to my 9600GT graphic card.
Do any of you have the same issues that I am facing?
I do hope Apple resolves these issues quickly.
As using my 9600GT graphic translate to very bad battery life and a very warm laptop! I am not happy at paying $29.99 for something that breaks.

Hey kennychan,
I've had the same problem. I've done a clean re-install on a reformatted drive and the problem was gone. If you can do a clean reinstall I recommend you give it a shot.
Best wishes,
Dmitry

Finder does not show icons view (it only shows list, column

Since I updated my macbook pro retina late 2013 to yosemite, I cannot see any finder folder window in icon view. It only shows list, column and cover flow view. Not something important, but if there is something wrong, I want to know!
+also since i bought it last December, there is this download bar (which shows the download procedure) on the downloads folder at the dock, stuck there forever. It looks like I am still downloading something, but opening the folder everything is done. It goes away after 2-3 restarts.
can anyone answer if this is a software issue or a hardware?
thank you in advance

These files are EPS files not image files. They have a TIF or PICT preview inside the file, I believe in the resource or data fork of the file. The file extension is EPS, and I cannot change that, just type the letters. The actual extension, the 4 digit one, that is invisible is the one that is important. In the case of EPS the actual extension is EPSF or EPSI.
Just to try the fix I changed the name and it did try to make a preview, but it came up with nothing. It was blank in column view. The OS still reads it as an EPS regardless of the change in file extension.
Anyone have some answer that involves a command line, I think that is really going to be the only thing that solves this one.

Can't find "Does Not Contain" under CACS Attribute drop-down list in CACS

when using CACS function, I couldn’t seem to find the “Does Not Contain” under CACS attribute drop-down in CACS Constraints Tab.
I could only see “Known to Contain”, “May Contain”, “Country of Origin”, and “Complies With”
does anyone know why?

"MNC" is match with "Does not contain", but the label name is not correct. We already have internal bug to track it.
Thanks

Method add_function does not display icon in toolbar

Hi,
as described in the subject of this post I have a problem with the method add_function of class cl_salv_functions_list. My intend was to add several buttons in the toolbar of the ALV grid. Adding of these buttons is functional but there is no icon display although I defined the right value. Maybe there is a mistake in calling the method. Please see the attached code.
Prerequisites:
eg. l_icon1 = "ICON_REFRESH" --> or should I use another value???
data: lr_columns type ref to cl_salv_columns_table,
 lr_column type ref to cl_salv_column_table,
 lr_functions type ref to cl_salv_functions_list,
 lr_layout type ref to cl_salv_layout,
 ls_key type salv_s_layout_key,
 selection type ref to cl_salv_selections,
 l_icon1 type string,
 l_icon2 type string,
 l_icon3 type string,
 l_icon4 type string,
 e_text type string,
 l_oref type ref to cx_root.
try.
 l_icon1 = text-ic1.
 l_icon2 = text-ic2.
 l_icon3 = text-ic3.
 ls_key-report = sy-cprog.
 lr_columns = r_process_alv->get_columns( ).
 lr_functions = r_process_alv->get_functions( ).
 lr_layout = r_process_alv->get_layout( ).
 lr_functions->set_all( value = if_salv_c_bool_sap=>true ).
 try.
 lr_functions->add_function(
 name = 'SAPDET'
 icon = l_icon1
 text = 'Details'
 tooltip =' Details'
 position = if_salv_c_function_position=>left_of_salv_functions
 lr_functions->add_function(

 e_text = l_oref->get_text( ).

 endtry.
Thanks in advance.

Maik.

Hello Maik
Rich is right. Since release 6.20 we should use
TYPE-POOLS: icon. " instead of include <icon>.
In sample report SALV_DEMO_TREE_FUNCTIONS they use the "cryptic" version of the icons which is not preferable.
 try.
 l_text1 = text-b01.
 l_text2 = text-b02.
 lr_functions->add_function(
 name = 'MYFUNCTION'
 icon = '@DF@'
 text = l_text1
 tooltip = l_text2
 position = if_salv_c_function_position=>right_of_salv_functions ).
 catch cx_salv_wrong_call cx_salv_existing.
 endtry.
Regards

Finder does not display external devices

Today when I woke up, and turned on my macbook, and connected my time machine and 'general use' disk, they didn't appear on the desktop. Not in the finder under devices either. According to terminal they're both mounted. Other programs can access files on the disks. Time machine cannot seem to backup however, and spotlight indexing also seems to fail on the other disk.
I can still access files on them through spotlight (although I didn't remember the name of any file on the time machine disk, so no good there), and thus eject one of them by dragging the window icon into the trash can.
The time machine disk is USB, and the other one Firewire. I have never had this problem before, and Leopard has worked just fine two days before this.

Column view in Finder does not display image dimensions

Image dimensions display a -- when browsing in column view. If I view info on the image it appears. If I move off the highlighted image file and go back it disappears again. I have looked into the spotlight solution and do not have any folders listed under Privacy. I am running 10.7.4 and all updates are current.

Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences folder and trash this file:

AddThis plug-in does not display properly.

AddThis plug-in adds "Share page" to the Safari toolbar, but does not display icons for any sharing option (Facebook, Twitter, EMail, etc.). Therefore, I can't click on anything to share the web page I am reading. Any idea why this area is left blank?

OK, have managed to resolve this. The plugs ins are all registered in the registry, but no version is assigned.
Adding the version number (in my case 12.1.0.883) to each of the plug ins has solved my issue.

I do think this is a compatibility issue between install for CRS & SAP Business One, as we don't get the issue where SAP Business One is not installed.

Finder does not show all files from NAS

Hi there
I have a NAS attached to my mini where music, ... is stored. I can access it from both the mac as well as a PC.
for some reason the mac finder does not display all the files in the directory even though the files are there (i can see and open them when accessing the NAS through the PC). at the moment I only see this happen in a folder that contains video (mpg) files and some event must have triggered this strange behaviour because I could play the file sometime ago without problem.
also, some of the files are shown as a folder than a file in the finder. E.g. a clip called last_holiday.mpg would show as a folder (when you open it it is empty) rather than a video file.
I have tried to re-mount the share, but this has no effect.
Is this a bug or is there some wrong setting?
thanks for any help,
Chris

I have this same problem with mounted DAV server folders. I can see the files via Windows and other DAV clients -- just not via Finder. Moreover, it does not apply to all files: some of them do show up. And, it does not happen all of the time: just occasionally.
