Icons for images on desktop do not update when edited in Preview

I didn't know what topic to put this in but I guess I consider this a Finder issue.
Here's the problem: In both Leopard and Tiger, when I edit something in Preview and save it the little icon preview image on my desktop (you know, above the file name) does not change, even after I restart. I know the world isn't going to end because of it but it has gotten to the point where I'll edit things in Photoshop instead of Preview just to get the stupid icon to be accurate, otherwise I don't know if I've worked on a picture already or not. It would save me from a lot of time wasted booting up Photoshop just to crop an image.
I also noticed that the Spotlight comments (when I use "get info" on the file) still describe the picture in its larger format before cropping. It just doesn't seem to update itself. The image I am looking at as an example is a PNG right now but I'm sure it has happened with jpegs as well. (generally I'll just go into Photoshop in the end and save from there to update the icon out of frustration)
Can this be fixed? It would certainly make me enjoy using Preview a little more.
I thought this would go away with a Leopard upgrade but it doesn't seem to.

Desktop does not update when I change networks

I'm having this odd behavior that I hope someone can shed some light on.
My desktop is set to keep my icons arranged by name. All of my volumes appear on the desktop, as well. I've noticed in recent weeks that whenever I switch networks, my desktop stops updating. It happens when I unplug my ethernet at work and move to the wireless network, or when I pack up, come home, and connect to my wireless network at home. When I connect to a network volume or plug in my iPod, the icons do not appear on my desktop. Or, if I delete a file from my desktop, it leaves an empty space instead of rearranging the icons like I have it set to do.
I've found two ways to fix it.
(1) Relaunch Finder.
(2) Open the Desktop View Options (Command-J) and adjust the grid spacing.
Once I do either of these things, all of the icons rearrange appropriately and network volumes I've connected to since switching networks appear. However, on Monday, when I go in to work, I'll have to do one of those two things again.
Maybe it's just a nuisance, but I worry that behavior like this is a symptom of a larger problem. I can't think of any new software I've installed that might be causing this trouble. I've repaired permissions and deleted caches and all that stuff. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Since changing the grid spacing fixes things, I don't think this is a switching network issue. It sounds to me like its a switching screen resolutions issue. I'm guessing that you have your machine plugged into a monitor at one location and not the other, or you have monitors of different sizes/resolutions at both locations. You can test this theory by simply changing your screens resolution once you get your machine into this state. If it fixes the problem, then I was right.
As far as a permanent fix, I don't think there is one. Only workarounds like you have already discovered.

"texts on html file" are not updated "when edited on server"

Hi All,
QUESTION
What are the solutions, for having editable text/content on .html published files, so clients can edit through their server control panel
Scenario:
Client wants to update the "text" by editing the .html files on a server.
I published the website as static html so the text can be included in .html file, but edits made on server's control panel, doesnt appear in live website.
I also noticed that the texts located in edgeActions.js are editable through server, i am not very interested to define all my text content as the dynamic
code because then I must worry about empty .html files and SEO questions.

Here is what I ve found in regard to my own question...
For a Client, to be able to change the text on server (Ex: phone numbers in a contact page), they should access and modify the text in the edge.js or sometimes edgeaction.js page. Changing the text on .html page will create no result. I assume, this is because, the .html page is exported ONCE and only at the point of Publishing a project, to satisfy the SEO needs or whatever. Think of the text on .html page as a Sticker to fool the rest of the world, changing it will not change anything on webste and. Also if you change the text in .js, the change will not be relfected on .html file.

Why do I have two icons for iMovie '11 after downloading the update from the App Store? Previously I had iMovie '09.

Why do I have two icons for iMovie '11 after downloading the update from the App Store? Previously I had iMovie '09.

Do you see two versions of iMovie in your Application folder?
You can drag the icons out of the dock and then drag what you want back to the dock from the Application folder.

Bug: Histogram Does Not Update when Using Painting Tools

I was investigating something else, and I saw something not working... I'm under the distinct impression that the Histogram panel should automatically update after every operation. Having the Histogram panel displayed full-time on the screen, it should always be up to date.
However, when I Dodge or Burn or even paint color on an image, the Histogram is not updating.
If I select one of the History states I've just created, it updates.
Consider this simple sequence of operations:
I'm able to reproduce this failure in Photoshop CS5 as well, BUT NOT IN CS4 (it updates in Photoshop CS4 after every painting operation), so clearly it's not a new bug, though somehow I've managed not to notice it in my years of using Photoshop CS5.
Is it broken like this for everyone in Photoshop CS5 and 6?
Could this be some twisted attempt to try to optimize painting performance? If so, why isn't there an option to allow a user to request it to update on every operation on a fast computer with cores out the wazoo?
-Noel

More info:
Just poking around in Photoshop CS6 to see what, if anything would make the Histogram display update...
Even though the Refresh icon is disabled (and the "Uncached Refresh" entry in the fly-out menu is grayed-out), double-clicking in the topmost histogram display will force it to update (as described above by Conroy in post #1 above).
If I change the selection Channel field in the Histogram panel, mostly it does not update, but when I change between some of the settings - for example between RGB and Luminosity - the graphs update. Amazingly they revert back to the un-updated state if I switch the channel BACK to what it was!
Making a selection DOES cause it to update.
Choosing Select - Color Range (just starting the function) DOES cause it to update.
Hitting the quick mask mode button DOES cause it to update. Notably Edit in Quick Mask Mode is in the Select menu. Could an association with Select be a clue?
This bug is easy to reproduce, is shown to be a problem across multiple versions and multiple OSs, and in at least one case (Photoshop CS4 x64 on Windows 7 x64 here) it can be shown to work properly, so the code is probably not far off being right. Seems to me this should be the kind of thing a junior engineer could find and fix so someone, say, at Chris Cox's level could have it done before 5 today...

IPod will not update when plugged into computer?

Just recently my iPod with not update when I plug it into my computer. My iPod does not show up on my Mac or my iTunes. When I plug it in the screen shows the do not disconnect sign. I have tried to reset my iPod and checked for new updates, but they haven't worked. If anyone knows what to do that would be great.
Thanks

Yes. Since I installed the new system software (10.4.6) update Sunday night, I cannot update any of my iPods except the iPod video. The iPods also do not show up on my desktop. The battery charges but that's all that happens.

It means, tentatively, that system files are missing or damaged and you will have to reinstall Snow Leopard. See the following:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

Mail on my Mac computer does not update when I update my mail on my iPhone and iPad. Can anyone help me with this? Is there a setting that I need to check?

All that you had to do was to sign into the old account in order to update those apps. What I mean is that you just needed to sign into that account in the store settings like I described and that should have worked. You didnt need to enter the credit card information again - you justed needed to use the old ID and password.
Anyway, I think the good news is that if everything else is OK with the new account, just download iBooks with the new ID - it's a free app so its not like you have to pay for it again. I'm not sure what the other App is that you are talking about - but if it is the Apple Store App - that is free as well.
Try this anyway, when you try to update iBooks, just use the old password if the old ID still pops up.
Did you try signing into the store settings with your new ID and see what happens with the updates then?

Images on Facebook do not appear when using different web browsers

Images on Facebook do not appear when using Safari on my Macbook Pro (I've tried Google Chrome too with the same result). This makes me think it's a setting within OS Mavericks that I'm missing. I have not seen this issue on any other computers. This only occurs on my, and others' profile pictures on my profile page and on the news feed, not photos that are posted in albums or on walls. and yes, i have images enabled in Safari.
In safari the images don't appear, and in their place is a small blue "?" square >>.
In Chrome it appears as a broken image link >>
Has anyone encountered this? Is there a fix? It is very annoying.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually 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. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Why the PO action history is not updating when i perform the vacation rules

Hi,
Can any one explain why the action history is not updating when performed the vacation rules using the below example
Example: A >B>C>D are in the approval hierarchy here I have defined the vacation rules by login to the user C here I selected the item type as “All” and delegated to D.
Now the buyer “A” has sent the document for approval. The user “B” can successfully reserve funds and approved the document. Now the document is automatically delegated to D. Here D can open the document from open notifications and approved the document. Now when I checked the Action history here I cannot find the performed name D who has actually approved the document.
Note:we are using the 11.5.10.2 version.
The Action History in the following manner
Seq Action Performed By
================================
4 Approve C
3 Forward B
2 Reserved B
1 Forward A
0 Submit A
From the above action history why the user D name is not showing. Can any one let me know ASAP?
Regards,
Keivn.
Edited by: user10960960 on May 5, 2009 3:36 AM

When you set up the vacation rule, if you simply delegate the ownership to D, then C retains the ownership and the approval occurs with C's limits. And hence D is treated as the approver.
If you transfer the ownership, then C is out of the picture. The notification goes to D and when he/she approves, D's limits kick in and he will be seen as approver.
Hope this helps,

My iPod touch 5th generation battery indicator does not update when being charged (Updated to iOS 8)

Note that the iPod touch 5th generation was updated to iOS 8. When I connect my charger to my iPod touch, for the first time, the battery indicator does not update when connected to a power source. Instead of being charged, it says that the battery is being depleted. Please fix this issue. Thank you!
