Icons in Finder for many file types are now blank

For no reason at all when I booted my Mac today many of the icons for my file types have just dissapeared! Anyone have any idea how to get them back? It is REALLY annoying because it makes files look like the are a folder deeper than they really are when using the list view which I always do. It's not all icons though but noticably it's all archives (.zip, .tar.gz .jar) and CSS, JS and JSP files.

For the second tiem this week the answer to my problem with OS X is a re-boot. I'm used to that working on Windows but not on OS X. This kind of thing should not be happening but it is and it didn't used to happen.

HT2531 Spotlight won't open finder for certain file types

I had Evernote installed a year or so back and used it for a short while. Then I started using springpad and deleted Evernote from my Mac.
Ever since, old notes have shown in spotlight, but CMD+Click wouldn't reveal them in finder. I've re-installed Evernote to try and help the situtaion, but alas, the old notes are still indexed (not merged from wherever they're hiding as I'd hoped).
I've re-indexed the Mac, (exclude HDD from spotlight under system preferences and then re-indexed) but they've re-indexed again. So they must be actual files somewhere.
Example, I have an old note called 'expenses address'.
Finder won't find 'expenses address' but Spotlight does. CMD+ click opens evernote... but not the note.
The quickpreview from spotlight shows exenses address as p36.ennote (in the quick preview), but again, finder won't find that either (p36.ennote). I've used terminal to show all file types, but still no joy with either search.
I've dug around in the User>LIbrary>Application support, found the evernote folder, but it's not in there either.
I've also had a poke around HDD>Library>Application support, but evernote doesn't seem to save data there either.
I share my iTunes folder with another user on my Mac and my Apps are backed up from my Iphone and iPad, but the evernote app isn't one of them.
I'm at a loss with regards to where these msytery files could be.
Any advice?

Not sure if this helps, but this is how a 're-indexed' file shows up in Spotlight, but finder won't locate it and CMD+click won't either.

Dreamweaver CS6 displaying the wrong icon for certain file types

I recently upgraded to the Maverick and I noticed that my Dreamweaver changed some of my files' icon to Acrobat Reader symbol. This does not represent the actual file type. My most important files, such as mp3 and m4v, are not displaying correctly. My concern is that it is affecting my website. How do I change the icons back to the original file type icons? Much needed help! Thanks!

What do local file associations have to do with your website? You have a severely wrong understanding of this stuff. Anyway, file associations on Mac can be changed using a right-click and Get Info and then choosing a new default program for the file type.

How to add support for new file type.

Using the ESDK, I would like to add support for new file type ( a new extension). this new extension will function like any other non visual code editor but will have specific syntax highlighting, code folding and explorer.
I am trying ot figure out if I need to create a new editor or use existing JDeveloper code editor and add support for new file type. Does anyone have a high level outline on how to do this using the ESDK that is specifically targeted at adding new file type support for a text based code editor?
I have looked at the Samples and keep going in multipe directions. It would be cool if there was an example that was how add syntax higlighting for new file type.
Thank you

Brian, thank you. I looked at this extension and it answered a lot of questions for me. I was going in the right direction but needed a little help and bost of confidence, this is just what I needed. I created the LanguageSupport, LanguageModel, Addin, Node and TextDocument that are specific to the new file type. I was getting hung up on how to hook this into the JDevelpoer editor. I keep thinking I have to create a custom editor but it looks like I don't have to and it looks like I can associate this file support with the editor framwork, for version 10.1.3.2, with the following in the Addin Initilize() method.
Recognizer.mapExtensionToClass(MY_EXTENSION, MyNode.class);
CodeEditor.registerNodeType(MyNode.class, MY_EXTENSION);
LanguageModule.registerModuleForFileType(new MyLanguageModule(), MY_EXTENSION);
I have done this but still not able to recognize the new file type.
At this point, I just want to be able to recognize the new file and display it's associated icon or display a messare to the message log. I put a System.out.println("test") in the Initilize() method of my addin. then I registered MyAddin in the extension.xml. JDeveloper sees this new extension and it is loaded but I have not been able to show the test message or display the new icon when I open the new file type.

How to skip line for delimited file type?

Hi, i wanna ask how to skip (example: the first two line) for delimited file type?
Thanks...
Here is my script
Function NY_Skip06Center [strField, strRecord]
' FDM DataPump Import Script:
'Created by: FDM_Admin
'Date created: 2/28/2006
Dim strEntity
'Check first two characters of entity
For strEntity = 1 to 6
'Skip line
Res.PblnSKip = True
Next strEntity
End if
End Function
But it returns this error when imported
Error: An error occurred importing the file.
Detail: Object variable or With block variable not set
Anyone knows what's wrong

strAcc = DW.Utilities.fParseString (strField, 1, 1, chr(9))
I didn't look closely enough last time. The above is illogical. The parsestring function parses a string based on a delimiter.
The function has these arguments:
String to Parse
How many fields are in the string
The parsed field to return
Field delimiter
In the above, strField is returning the field specified in your import format. You are also saying that there is a total of 1 field. If that were the case, you wouldn't need to parse anything.
I am guessing that your call needs to look something more like this:
strAcc = DW.Utilities.fParseString (*strRecord*, *8*, 1, chr(9))
Make sense?
If not, maybe you can include a few sample lines from your data file and that will make it easier to help you.
Is your import format fixed or delimited?

Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

Return The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden error for some file types

hi
am using below code to get the byte array
byte[] myDataBuffer = client.DownloadData((new Uri(sourceUrl)));
for source of type .txt/.jpg no problem with accessing.but the file type with .master/.wsp/.cs
it is returning "The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden error for some file types" Error.how can i get rid of this.please help me
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
It seems there is something wrong with your code, from your code the account and key are the same, because their appsetting name are the same.
string account = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["StorageAccountName"];
//string account = CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting("StorageAccountName");
//string key = CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting("StorageAccountAccessKey");
string key = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["StorageAccountName"];
string connectionString = String.Format("DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName={0};AccountKey={1}", account, key);
return CloudStorageAccount.Parse(connectionString);
If you use CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting, please consider set azure project as the startup project, if not, this value will be null, this resulted in solution being started as a web project that didn't run inside the Azure emulator. Since CloudConfigurationManager.GetSetting
tries to get setting by contacting Azure (or Azure emulator in this case), and it is not running, it returns null.

How many Delta types are availabvle in Lo Extraction

How many Delta types are available in Lo Extraction
please tell me i am facing in every interview.
Thanks in advance,
Ashok V

hi
now three types of update methods are available in Lo extraction
A.Direct Delta:- In case of Direct delta LUWs are directly posted to Delta Queue (RSA7) and we extract the LUWs from Delta Queue to SAP BW by running Delta Loads. If we use Direct Delta it degrades the OLTP system performance because when LUWs are directly posted to Delta Queue (RSA7) the application is kept waiting until all the enhancement code is executed.
B.Queued Delta: - In case of Queued Delta LUWs are posted to Extractor queue (LBWQ), by scheduling the V3 job we move the documents from Extractor queue (LBWQ) to Delta Queue (RSA7) and we extract the LUWs from Delta Queue to SAP BW by running Delta Loads. Queued Delta is recommended by SAP it maintain the Extractor Log which us to handle the LUWs, which are missed.
D.Un serialized V3 Update: - In case of Un serialized V3 update LUWs are posted to Update Queue ( SM13 ), by scheduling the V3 job which move the documents from Extractor queue ( LBWQ ) to Delta Queue ( RSA7 ) and we extract the LUWs from Delta Queue to SAP BW by running Delta Loads. Since the LUWs are not moved in a Serial fashion from Update queue to Delta queue if we have any error document it considers the subsequent documents and no sorting of documents based on the creation time. It improves the OLTP system performance as it forms a segment for one language.
hope this will solve your problem

Search For Specific File Type (eg .txt)

I know how how to find files in a folder using Java but how do you search for specific file types. I am looking only include files with the extension .txt in my search.

Cheers. I already looked at that. Got a program that parses a XML and had a play about with it. Can print the contents of tags in my XML. Its just that im trying to parse my XML and have the contents of the starts_with tag to appear in startsWith(or a variable to which this has been assigned) and the contents of the extension tag to appear in endsWith. Totally clueless on how to go about it.
Below is my class. Would be greatful if you have any ideas.
import java.io.File;
public class FindLatestFile {
 public static File getLatest(File thisDir){
 long latestModDate = -1;
 File latestFile = null;
 File[] fileList = thisDir.listFiles();
 for(int i=0; i < fileList.length; i++){
 File file = fileList;
 if (file.lastModified() > latestModDate & (file.getName().startsWith("A") & file.getName().endsWith(".txt"))) {
 latestModDate = file.lastModified();
 latestFile = file;
 return latestFile;

I cannot close or import or any function to iphoto. I have been getting the same message for many days "Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for import to complete." I do not know where the photos would be importing from.

I cannot close or import or any function to iphoto. I have been getting the same message for many days "Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for import to complete." I do not know where the photos would be importing from. How do I get it to proceed?

After Force Quitting, as LarryHN recommended,
Select the iPhoto Library in the Finder. By default it is in your Pictures folder.
Ctrl-click or right-click the iPhoto lIbrary. Select "Show package contents" from the panel, that will pop up.
Look for a folder named "Importing" or "Import". Remove this folder, but don't touch anything else.
Then launch iPhoto again.
If iPhoto now is working again, check the folder you removed, if there are any photos that you want to keep and save them.

It should be possible to set default behavior for all file types

It should be possible to set a default action for all file types. I'm so tired of having to manually sit and say "save this file" because Firefail always defaults to "open with" and has disabled the "Do this automatically for files like this from now on."
And spare me the zealotry religious excuses for why its the fault of websites and not Firefail
''edited to remove swearing''

I do want users to have full control to be able to set any folder view they want by using Apply to Folders; I just want to set the initial/default view to Detail because that matches what the majority of my users want.
That is, what registry setting changes when I go to a picture folder, change the view to Detail, and click Apply to Folders? Having done that, I still retain the ability to change it to some other view and apply that to folders. But what registry setting
represents the change I just made when applying Detail view to all Picture folders.?
This settings is simple via GUI, but it is related a lot of registry keys, I made a test in my machine, capture the "Apply to Folders" process using Regshot tool (this is a small tool which can compare the regsitry changes after you change some
settings), and this is the result:
this is part of the registry changes, a plenty of registry keys and values need to be changed. hard to list them here. if you have interests, I recommend the tool Regshot, it can help you capture the regsitry changes.

Adobe encore the software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. installing the correct decoders for the file you are working with may help correct the problem

Hi,
I got this message after importing about ten or so H.264 files that I encoded from Adobe media encoder. "adobe encore the software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. installing the correct decoders for the file you are working with may help correct the problem."
The files we're shot with HD cameras. Edited in Premiere Pro CS3. I installed the update 3.0.1 with still the same error.
I also tried a brand new project and after about ten or so files being imported into a timeline, the system crash. I tried this twice....
    Thanks in Advance

Hi Hunt,
       Here is the skinny. A window base PC. footage shot with HD sony HD cameras, Project imported to Premiere CS3. Once completed sent file to Adobe media encoder and render them as H.264 widescreen high Quality. Imported them to Adobe Encore CS3. After about ten files or so. I got the error message. Did all the basic trouble shoot like restarting the computer, got latest patch. Even build a new test project with the same problem.
    Something else I read in the forums, is the encore will transcoded the project to Mpeg 2 anyway, after looking at my project I realized those few files were indeed untranscoded. So it will be a double compression and I dont want that. So, my new question is, what is H.264 good for ?????????? I was research that Mpeg 2 is a faster render but H.264 is a slower render but better quality.....
   what do you think ????

How do you make console apps the default application for a file type?

I have a console movie player, mplayer, that I like a lot. I've compiled it from source on my intel core2 macbook pro and it works fine. There is no gui, but to play movie files you open up a terminal and type the command mplayer /path/to/file. I would like mplayer to play a movie file automatically when I double click on the file, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. I tried setting it in the file info dialogue, but when I go to the path of the binary I want, it is not selected. How can I set a console app as my default application for my file type?

there is a GUI mplayer for OS X. why don't you use it instead of the command line one?
if you insist on using the command line mplayer then the only way to do this is to put a GUI wrapper on it. this can be done with automator or apple script for example. but really, why don't you just use the GUI mplayer?

File Dialog (Details View and Multiple Selections for View File Type)

I would like to use the generic windows dialog box found in the toolbar under:
File I/O/Advanced File Functions/File Dialog
What I would like to do is have multiple selections for the file type, for example one menu selection is *.txt, another is *.rtf, another is *.csv, etc. Listing a single type is straightforward.
Also does anyone know if there is a way to have the dialog open in the DETAILS view automatically?
Thanks for any help!
Carlton

Hi,
You can do it in following ways:
1. Write in pattern input the string "*.txt; *.csv; *.rtf". This will show to the user only files with this extensions in the dialog.
2. Another way is to create ring or menu where user could specify the extension. Depending on this extension you could wire the appropriate string to the pattern input of "File Dialog.vi"
I have made an example.
Good luck.
Oleg Chutko.
