Icon have changed to preview icons

Hi.I use PEAK as an audio editor which uses its own file icon.Just recently all my normal peak icons suddenly changed in to what I guess must be Preview icons,the ones with the semi-quaver,a bit like itunes. Also every time I save something in peak the original peak icon changes. I have set the files to open in peak in the get info but it still makes no difference. Any ideas why and how can I stop this! Thanks,Tony

Ok, this is happening every time I launch Photoshop, the Layer Panel options "Show thumbnails" box is turned off by default, and I have to go in and turn it on again each time.
I recall recently that an AppleCare support tech, in an effort to fix some Mac Mail issues, had me throw away a folder in the Library, maybe Prefs?, and restart. This is the only thing I've done to my system in recent memory. No upgrades, no new apps, nothing else i can come up with...
Would really like to resolve this! Any ideas? thanks

File Icons have changed

I just noticed that all of my pdf file icons have changed to the iTunes icon.
Would anyone have any idea why this may have happened and how to change them back?
There are no problems with opening or viewing the files - they still open in Preview - but in the Finder they show up as the iTunes icon? Any ideas?
Thanks,
AK

Great suggestion - thanks! It did change the icon globally - but then when I switched it back to Preview - it went back to the 'iTunes' icon.
Where can I go to change the Preview icon (which is probably want's broken)?
Preview icon is kept inside Preview application package. control-click on Preview.app and select "show package contents". go to Contents->Resources. the file is called preview.icns. However, there is no way that file got substituted by the itunes icon. Morte likely something is wrong with the Launch services database.
Try the following. delete the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist and log out/in. if that doesn't help run the following command in terminal
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user

How to change .mp3 preview icon to album art

When you go onto Finder and youre on the "all my files" tab, most of my songs have a music note for an icon and I'd like to change that to the album art! Anyone know how!?

Click the Firefox button, go to Options | Options | General and in the Downloads menu, checkmark the radio button called "'''Always ask me where to save files'''". See screenshot.

System Preference Icons have changed

Hi
The Speech and Startup disc Icons in my system preferences pane have changed to something like a switch.
The other accounts on the same mac have no such problems.
Any suggestions?

Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and enter ~/Library/Caches/ as the folder's path. Once this folder has appeared, locate the com.apple.preferencepanes.cache item and drag it to the desktop. Open System Preferences again. Mac OS X 10.4 does not create or use any items starting with LS or .LS in the ~/Library/Preferences/ folder.

After installing Windows 7 my desktop Adobe icons have change in appearance. How do I change them back?

The file icons is one on the change features MS removed from the Explorer options. Supposedly you can do the change with the registry, though I have not figured out that option. If you want to try, backup the registry first and then you might try the instructions at How to Change a File Type Icon in Windows 7 and Vista - The Winhelponline Blog. If the application icon is not correct, try to fix that before the approach above. Good luck and be careful (dealing with the registry can make your computer not work..

Preferences icons have changed

Both my System and Home preferences icons have changed to that of a text editor which I recently downloaded but have not yet used. I was trouble-shooting an issue in which my desktop sounds were not happening; i.e., the Trash emptying made no sound, I had no start-up chimes and no sound of dragging and dropping a file. I have still not resolved that issue. Any answers would be welcome. But, the strangest thing is the fact that all my Preference files have this Smultron icon. I had simply put my Preference folder on the Desktop and then rebooted to see if the Desktop sounds would return. When they didn't, I replaced the Preferences folder and found that all my Preference files had this icon. The icon also shows on my System Preferences which I did not touch or move in this process. Any clues?

I am having the same problem but with an icon from a different editor, BBEdit. Both my System and Home preference icons have changed. I first noticed a problem when I returned to my computer, from which I had not logged out, after stepping away from it for a while. My mail looked funny; the font for the mailboxes had changed and the header type was not formatted in the usual fashion. I logged in as the admin and checked its preferences. All the preference icons for both the admin account and the system are as they should be, while logged in as admin. That makes me think it is a problem with my user account only. I went to the Cache folder in the Library in my user account and dumped the "com.apple.preferencepanes.cache" file (as someone had suggested in another, earlier discussion thread.) It straightened out my mail but did not help my preference icons. Feedback; suggestions; answers?

I have to select a file – get Info – and change – open with and change from preview to another program and CHANGE ALL everytime I boot up

Why do I have to select a file – get Info – select – open with – and change from Preview to another program and click CHANGE ALL with every file extention everytime I boot up.

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -Rh $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
The first step should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word, all lower case, with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

How to change file preview in Finder?

So I just finished my latest short film, and I exported it to Finder. However I don't like the preview Finder chose for my video, it simply chose a random frame from my video and made that the preview of the file. I have a custom poster I made for the video I would like to make the preview of the file. I've look at other websites and they all mistook "preview" for icons. I am not talking about the icon of the file, I am talking about the actual preview of the file. If you open the Info pane of an image or a video file, there will be a tab under "Open With" named "Preview" and shows the preview thumbnail for the file. Can anyone tell me how I can manually change the preview of a file? I thought about importing the video into iTunes, change the cover art and take it out again, however because the file is encoded with Apple ProRes 4444 iTunes won't accept it and even if it did it would have been converted to other format, which is something I am trying to avoid and I would like to keep it ProRes 4444.

Hi!
I'm not sure how to change the preveiw icon, but if you're just looking for a quick way to change the icon preview of that particular file you could always change the the icon from the finder get info window:

Hope this gives you a temporary solution until you find what you're looking for.

Change Flashdrive Preview Image

There a way to change the con of the flashdrive as it appears on the desktop? The icon is a little boring and i want to change it to a custom image of mine. Help?

Figured it out for anyone who wants to know. Open the image you want in Preview and use the select to tool to select the WHOLE image. Hit Apple+C to copy and switch over to your folder, or whatever else. Hit Apple+I to "Get Info." In the top left corner there should be a small image. The same image as the big "Preview Image" below it. Select the small picture in the top-left corner. It should have a blue outline. Hit Apple+V to paste. Your preview image should have changed. If not reply to this and I'll try to let you know why it is not working.

All tracks have the same preview image after import

Hi,
when importing some videos (h.264) into iMovie'08, all have the same preview image. I would expect them to hava an image from the clip.
How to fix this?
Arne

The files are on disk in my pictures folder. I took them with my Sony camera as mpeg2 and converted them with MPEG Streamclip to mpeg4 (h.264).
Just updated to iMovie 7.1, but did not change anything.
The icons are all of the 1st clip. Moving the mouse over them always show the 1st clip and the audio of the first clip in the thumbnail, but in the preview I see the correct clip.

HT204053 I have changed my Apple ID in iTunes, which I access through my current ISP! I have another - old ISP on my mobile which I originally setup to access the App Store. I cannot access the App Store via old Apple ID. How do I change to new Apple ID?

NOW I cannot acces the App Store (through the iPhone icon. How can I change the Apple ID for access to the App Store which keeps requesting the 'old' Apple ID (lost the password and cannot get help as ISP is no longer available for help) Have tried syn, no rsult, I have the new Apple ID as Apple ID on my mobile phone. Help required here???

To change the iCloud ID on your devices you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted (if using iOS 7), then sign back in with your current ID.
If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, you will have to temporarily recreate it in order to delete the existing account. To do this, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I am trying to change my apple Id on my iPad from an old work email address to a new one. I have changed it in FaceTime and on the iPad log in but can't get it to change in iTunes. Any ideas?

If they are no longer in your camera roll, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account (open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward pointing arrow, the tap Save to Camera Roll).
