Icon changing from Application to document!

Well i've never done anything like this before... but I guess I'm still a little new to Macs in general.
Anyway, the other night I was changing some things around on the Dock... and I accidentally dragged my MS Word Icon into the Application next to it on the dock (which just happened to be Snes9x the Super Nintendo emulator... which I wouldn't reccomend to anyone by the way).
Once dragged in the emulator opened and of course went haywire so I immediately exited and shrugged it off.
However, today when i went to open MS word from the dock (and later even from inside my App. folder) it again opened in Snes9x. I clicked on Get Info for MS Word from inside the App. Folder and it is now a document! AHH!
The only way I can get Word to work now is by opening an already saved Word Document. But I can no longer just start word up normally.
Please, if you can, tell me how to restore my Word App. back to how it should normally behave.
Thank you,
ThomJohn
Extra Info:
I have already deleted Snes9x in hopes that that might fix the problem... but alas, no success.
The icon for Word is now just a blank white document. (it was the Snes9x document icon before i deleted Snez9x)
iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

Go to your Word application file and do GetInfo on it. In General it should say Kind: Application. If it doesn't move down to the Name&Extension section, and add the .app extension, so it says Microsoft Word.app. Or you could rebuild the LaunchServices database and caches, but I think adding the extension is easier.

  • When I share a pages document as a PDF (via e-mail) all the pictures change from the original document, most are missing with just a few of them repeated in the spots where others had been.  How do I do this without the document changing?

    I need to be able to send it to a PC in order to print it.

    Hard to say what is happening without examining the file.
    If you like click on my blue name and email me both the .pages file and the the .pdf you have made from it.

    ps It would help to say what version of Pages you are using and on what you are running it. iOS or Mac and what version.

  • Icons change from desktop to HD

    Hello everyone.
    I just got started in 10.6 and I notice that icons of documents such as PDFs and TextEdit documents look different on the desktop but change to their familiar look when moved to the hard drive. Is this normal on Snow Leopard or is something not right with my system?
    Thanks for any comments.
    Rich

    Thanks for clearing that up for me. I investigated the situation and decided that leaving the icon preview mode on would be an asset without hurting anything. It was just strange to see the icons change when transferred from the desktop to the Home HD.
    Thanks again.

  • Document user status not changed from follow-up document

    Hi gurus!
    My task is to set new user status of primary document (service order) from follow-up document (task) after follow-up document is created.
    To do this I've created Badi-impl. of ORDER_SAVE Badi and in PREPARE method when saving newly created follow-up task I'm setting new service order user status using 'CRM_ORDER_CHANGE_STATUS' function. sy-subrc = 0 and, moreover, when in SAP GUI I'm pressing "Back" button I see new user status in  service order. But after I'm pressing "Change" or re-open the service order - I see the old user status, so nothing happens at all.
    Why could it be?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    Alexander Kirillov

    Hello Szymon,
    The solution is:
    1. CALL 'CRM_STATUS_CHANGE_EXTERN_OW'
    2. If ok - CALL 'CRM_STATUS_SAVE_OW' passing relevant header/ item GUID
    Regards,
    Alexander

  • TM Disk icon changed from blue to yellow

    I have an external USB Hitachi 1TB drive with 2 partitions - one for time machine and the other for weekly SuperDuper backups. I use TimeMachineEditor to limit backups to once every 8 hours. The system has worked well for over a year and I can access all my backups without any (apparent) problems.
    Yesterday the TM partition icon changed color from blue to the generic yellow. Should I be concerned? Should I run DiskWarrior or try other maintenance on the partition?

    If the drive has been disconnected or shut off this may happen when TM reconnects. It continues to use the device for backup, however. If no backup is underway when the drive is reconnected then the icon should change once TM starts to do a backup. I've had this happen any number of times on my system. Sometimes the TM drive's icon never changes unless I turn off TM then turn it back on and reselect the backup drive. I wouldn't worry about it.

  • Downloaded song from cloud. Icon changed from cloud to downloaded

    I downloaded one of my purchased songs to my computer. The cloud icon disappeared from next to the track. The song accidentally got deleted. Went to the purchased section of iTunes and the song had "Downloaded" next to it instead of the cloud icon that was next to the remaining non-downloaded songs from the album. I can't re-download the song and it also doesn't play from the cloud anymore. Any suggestions on how to get access to the song again?

    Thanks for your prompt reply. I did all of that, but it says another user/password is required to play the song. I know that user and he probably did indeed download the song on to my MAC when he was here.
    So I checked, and there are other songs he downloaded but they do not flag the user/password requirement.
    What I don't understand is how I was able to play the song in question from my library and subsequently download it onto my ipod with no problems until yesterday.
    Again, what changed?

  • Printing changes from a compared document

    I have a compared document which on the screen shows the differences in different colors and highlights. But when I print the document the colors do not show up. Is there a setting that allows for printing the changes in color?

    Using Pages ’09 v4.1, I can only duplicate your export results if I choose to ignore that the Pages numbering default is to continue from previous — thus your source would need to show a 1 - 4 number series before export. You can rectify this, by positioning the pointer at the 3 list item, and choosing Start at 1, as shown below. When used in this manner, what you see, is what you get in the resultant Word .doc document.
    The other approach is to just type “Old Business” followed by a return. Then, without using the List tab from the Text Inspector, simply type your own numbered items and content followed by a hard return. Now, you control the numbering yourself. In kind, “New Business” would follow, again with purposely typed number sequence. That exports to Word .doc nicely too. Doesn't matter whether you have Automatically Detect Lists enabled in Pages preferences or not.

  • Default Workspace changed from usual My Documents area

    No big deal, but why has the default workspace location (Windows platform) been changed?
    Shouldn't it be C:\Documents and Settings\Flex Developer\My Documents\Adobe Flash Builder Plug-in Beta 2\?

    Yes. Agreed. But all previous Flexbuilder releases (betas and full releases) have always had their default workspaces within the "My Documents" folder.
    It just threw me a bit when I created a flex project (accepted the default project file location) and it wasn't where I thought it would be. Its usually the My Documents folder so I just wanted to know why change? Thanks

  • Weather icon changed from 23 to 73 after restore

    Is this a way of apple knowing which customers have restored thier phones if they send them back?
    Or what's the point?

    Mine has always said 73. Sounds like maybe your weather icon was just showing Celsius before and is now showing Fahrenheit.

  • The color  of applications icon changed to dark color, what does it mean

    it happened twice, applications icon changed from red to dark red for a while?

    Hello Omar,
    Maybe you've found out by now but I believe it's because the apps are 'refreshing'. I think this is new to iOS 7 because I don't remember it happening before...
    If you go into your settings-->general--> and about halfway down the list is BACKGROUND APP REFRESH.
    I wish I could include a picture to make it easier but if you go into this setting you will see a list of all the apps that will refresh and also the master switch that turns them all off.. I'm not sure what it's doing when it's refreshing tho, maybe checking for updates or location?
    Hope this helps,
    Mister

  • How to Change Icon of  Desktop Application?

    Friends, i am developing one small software using Java Desktop Application in Netbeans. I want to change the icon of my application (cup of coffee). I have tried this code: URL url = new URL("myApplication/resourcesresources/camera.png");
    Toolkit kit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
    Image img = kit.createImage(url);
    this.getFrame().setIconImage(img);
    and
    URL url = new URL("F:/Documents and Settings/Selva/My Documents/NetBeansProjects/HashCodeCracker/src/myApplication/resourcesresources/camera.png");
    Toolkit kit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
    Image img = kit.createImage(url);
    this.getFrame().setIconImage(img);
    i have searched in google and nothing works . Can anyone solve this problem?
    Note:
    This code works for me:
    Toolkit kit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
    Image frameIcon = kit.getImage("F:\\Documents and Settings\\Selva\\My Documents\\NetBeansProjects\\HashCodeCracker\\src\\hashcodecracker\\resources\\PasswordCrackerIcon.jpg");
    this.getFrame().setIconImage(frameIcon);
    But i am creating software. So i can not specify the location of the Image in one path. The user may run the software from anywhere. So the above code can not be used.
    Thanks
