How to recover text/edit icon in launch pad?

If your test/edit exists at Applications Folder,
Finder Go menu > Go to... "~/Library/Application Support/Dock"
You can find the file "*.db", move to trash them.
Launch a terminal.app(Applications/Utilities/Terminal) then ,input "killall Dock"
and all icons return.

Blurry/Pixelated Icon on Launchpad - How to Fix?

I, recently, upgraded my Evernote application to the newest version (5.0.0) and, then, noticed that the application icon was pixelated in, both, the Dock and the Launchpad. I did a "get info" on the application and the preview showed the same, low-res, icon.
I reinstalled the application. No change. I rebooted my computer. Now, the dock icon looks fine. The preview in "get info" is, also, crystal clear. I looked at the application switcher (command-tab) with the application open. Again, nice looking high-res icon.
The Launchpad, however, is still showing the ugly, pixelated icon.
The only other fix I tried was resetting the PRAM (command-option-P-R). Still, the Launchpad icon looks ugly.
What else can I try? The high-res icon is, obviously, there in the app, but it's refusing to display properly on the Launchpad.
My MacBook specs are below. Thanks.

I managed to fix it. I deleted the icon from Launchpad using command-option-control and clicking the "X" on the icon. I dragged the application back into Launchpad. The icon is, now, displaying at the correct resolution.

HT2523 My screen is frozen in text edit ( the swirling lollipop) how do I close the screen or exit

While using text edit my screen froze, now I have the spinning beach ball, or spinning lollipop, but I cannot close the text edit screen. I was transferring data from a web sit when this occurred perhaps too much data??? made this happen not sure but I resorted to using Pages which I am not familiar with at all. Any instructions and explanation would be appreciated. Thank you.

I don't need the points, but for future reference, if someone here helps with/solves your problem, it is nice to indicate they did that. You indicated you solved your own problem

Older version of text edit won't open protected file

An older version of Text Edit has replaced the copy I had. It is not opening. I have a disk mounted password protected file that holds a Text Edit document. Clicking on the document isn't working.
I tried to find a download page for the current version of Text Edit, but I didn't see one on Apple's site. I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
I am trying not to go back to the Genius Bar, as a stray Text Edit icon from yesterday's session (another issue) started this mess!
Thank you!

No need to open Textedit - just select it in Finder, then press Command I (or Finder - File menu - Get Info) : a new window should open with information about the item, including the version number.

Text Edits

I've lost the Text Edits icon on my Tool Bar after using it happily for several pages. Can you help me find it again?

Sorry, I don't use version 9.

SAVE button doesn't appear in Toolbar of Text Edit Control

Hai All,
I need to save the changes made to the text in my Text Edit Control, i know how to handle the Save command but my problem is the SAVE button doesn't appear in the Toolbar of the Text Editor. I have searched through the SDN but in all of those threads they already have the SAVE button and hence only the logic was discussed. But i need the SAVE button to appear in my Text Edit Control. Looking forward for your helpful answers.
Thanks in Advance,
rama

Hi,
Check the demo program SAPSCRIPT_DEMO_NOTE_EDITOR what ever you enter in the editor you get the text using method
call method note_editor->get_text_as_stream
importing text = notetab.

Switch windows within program in text edit in yosemite

When I started using Mac (back with 10.4 or someting) you could switch windows within programs using cmd+< or cmd+shift+< (cmd+>). This worked for every program, and I see it as an essential core to how OSX handles it's programs windows. And it's a really feature, IMO.
However, some versions back (I don't remember if it was 10.7, 10.8 or 10.9) someone changed this in Mail. When writing an email, the shortcut cmd+< changes the indent level. cmd+shift+< still changes the window. This is VERY frustrating. When I noticed this, I thought "alright, whoever came up with this idea should get fired!" Well guess what? He or she wasn't. This person still works at Apple and has now got his or her hands on Text Edit. In Text Edit in Yosemite, these shortcuts zooms in and out! And there is no longer any shortcut to change the windows within Text Edit. I'll say it again: Please fire this person before he or she destroys more! And make sure to change back so that cmd+< works for all programs.

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Text Edit Tool icon missing in Acrobat Standard X

Hi,
In Acrobat 8 Standard, when I click "Text Edit Tool" icon, I can start insert, delete or replce text comments without re-click any "insert", "delete" or "replace" icon in the Text Edit Tool until I press"Esc" key.
I just install Acrobat Standard X these days, It moved the commenting annotation to the right panel with those fancy icons. Looks great! However, I have to click on the "Insert", "delete" or "replace" icon on every action. I am wondering if Acrobat remove the great feature or I am missing something?
p.s. Just found ouy it is called "Text Correction Markup" in Acrobat Reader XI. I can't image paid Acroabat Standard X has less feature than Acrobat Reader XI. Hopefully, Adobe can have a Update to add the "accidentally removed" feature back to Standard X.
Thanks

Is there no response from Adobe? It's a serious issue that this useful tool was removed (or hidden?) in Adobe X.
I use Acrobat for collaboration for much of my work, and it's a significant burden to have to click on each tool individually.

Why do I get a full screen window of the "Text Edits" tool...?

I got Acrobat 8 and when I mark some text with the Text Edits tool and afterwards types som replacements, I just get one big pop-up box filling the whole screen instead of the normal sized in the left margin as usual. And I am not able to see what I'am typing since this kinda lies outside the screen picture. Is this a matter of settings - or a bug, or anyone else tried the same?
Memebers of my work group use the same version with the same updates without problems.

If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out these instructions. Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is on a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. If you're able to boot, launch the Console application in any of the following ways: ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid. Select the most recent panic log under the heading System Diagnostic Reports on the left. If you don't see that heading, select View ▹ Show Log List from the menu bar. Post the entire contents of the panic report — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post shutdownStall, spin, or hang reports.

How do you remove an unwanted Steam icon from Launchpad?

I found an answer to this question online after some extensive searching. The answer isn't on the Support Forums, so I thought I'd post a link to the page (to credit the author) and copy / paste the wording below.
You don't have to download any dirty third party apps to do this...thanks to Joe!
FORCE REMOVING ICOMS FROM LAUNCHPAD
http://joegardiner.co.uk/removing-icons-from-launchpad/
The standard method for removing app icons from the Lion Launchpad is to hold the left mouse button [or old the Option / Alt key] over the app icon, wait for the cross to appear in the corner of the app icon, and then click it!
In some cases however app icons can become orphaned, for example if you use on Steam on Mac, deleting local content to uninstall a game will not remove the game icon from Launchpad. This leaves you with an unusable orphaned icon that seems invincible and does not appear in the Application folder along with the rest of your apps.
The solution is as follows…
1. Open Launchpad, find the offending icon(s) and drag them to your normal dock.
2. Right click on the icon that you dragged to your dock and choose ‘Show in Finder’.
3. Now drag the icon(s) from the Finder windows that opens up into the Trash.
4. Finally right click on the dock item(s) that you dragged originally and choose ‘Remove from dock’.
Voila, the icons have disappeared from Launchpad and the annoying orphaned icons that seemed invincible have been thwarted.

Maybe this is an issue I should consult my ISP about??
No question about that. If you can "see" Travis's device, then he can likely "see" your Time Capsule.
I'm just concerned that whomever the APExpress belongs to could be changing settings on my computer or Time Capsule that would cause the issues with me not being able to backup.
Make sure that you have a Time Capsule base station password. Unless a user has that password, they might be able to "see" your Time Capsule, but they cannot access any of the data on the Time Capsule or change the settings.
Open AirPort Utility, click on the Time Capsule and click Manual Setup
Then, click the Time Capsule tab below the icons to see the device name and password for your device. Make sure that you have entered the password and confirmed. Click Update if you have made any changes.
The message I get is "The backup was not performed because an error occurred while copying files to the backup disk. The problem may be temporary. Try again later to back up. If the problem persists, use Disk Utility to repair your backup disk."
I am not sure what this error means, because I cannot duplicate it here to test.
If it were me, I would try this "fix".

HP Laserjet P1005 print in Text Edit but nor in Word or Adobe Reader

I just bought a HP LaserJet P1005 printer, it does print in all the aplications that camed with the operating system Mac OS X 10.4.10 ( Text Edit, Ical, Iweb, Sherlock, etc) but It does not print in any other aplication ( Open Office, Microsoft Office, Adobe Reader, Freehand, etc).
I have already installed last version of the HP driver and also updated the OS to 10.4.11 but there is no difference.
Because the printer is on guarantee I did call to HP, but they said that if the printer print in aplications lake text edit, the printer is ok, so the would not replace it.
Anyway I do not know if other printer with the same model would work or if it would have the same problem.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks a lot.

I see that the original poster has returned the printer but figured I'd post in case others are having this issue.
Same problem here: Intel iMac, latest updates applied (Tiger), brand new printer, Office Mac 2004
Verifying disk, repairing permissions does not solve this problem. Trashing all the Microsoft preferences and reinstalling didn't work. I have a slew of these same iMacs running Office X and they print with no problems so I removed Office 2004 and went back to X and still had the same problem.
It's bizarre. I was able to print an Excel file but when I try to print a Word document the printer window jumps to "Jobs Stopped" a few seconds after receiving the job. Clicking "Start Jobs" results in it jumping back to "Jobs Stopped" I downloaded the driver package from HP thinking maybe it had been updated since the CD that came with the printer was pressed but no luck.
There is another post around here in which the poster said if s/he clicks Print Preview and then clicks the Print icon there the document will print. I'll try that tomorrow. The other post has some quotes from HP support that are not very helpful.

[SOLVED] Can't get rid of a wine-polluted text file icon [KDE]

Hello folks,
For some reason, my KDE system likes to use a Wine program based icon for all text files when I'm using a Faenza theme. The problem occurs only for my user (not root) so I think this is an user-specific issue.
I've already checked .local/share/icons folder for matching icon images. I found one which was named "text-plain.png", being equally the same "W-space" icon image as shown in the picture below. Thus I removed this png file from all necessary subfolders (22, 24, 32, 48...), so as far as I can think, there should not be any traces for the old icon image left. I've already re-checked all folders which I think are relevant to the issue. In addition, I've updated icon cache by using gtk-update-icon-cache and kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental commands. However, the system seems to disagree with me and the annoying icon appears still in text file icons.
The problem appears practically like in the following picture:
W-space icon image is very likely related to Adobe Photoshop which I've installed on my PlayonLinux installation (.PlayonLinux/wineprefix/photoshop). I still don't understand by which logic the system decides to use this W-space image for text files.
I wonder if I need to take further steps to get rid of this annoying icon. Am I missing something? All I want is that KDE would use basic Faenza icon for text files. Any hints are welcome!
Thank you!

Allright, this was, after all, a very simple issue. As expected.
I simply removed file /var/tmp/kdecache-fincer/icon-cache.kcache, rebooted the system and all icons are fine now.
Topic marked as solved.
