Messed up PC icons

I was trying to sync my data from my bPC to my iphone.
Something happened and many of my program icons including Explorer and others all turned to iTune lnks. How do I reverse this?

The only immediate action I could think of is Hard resetting your iPhone. Most of your information/data should be stored in your iTunes. Just hard reset your phone, unless you find a better option.

  • Messed up thumbnail icons in FCP bin

    Hi,
    This problems has been dogging me for ages.  Any ideas what make any footage I have ingested from the p2 camera in 1440x1080 as Prores 422 looks all screwed up.  (Similar to what you see if you import an image that CMYK & not RGB) I dont have this problem with any other footage. It make it impossible to browse through the clips using the browser icon view.  Have tried deleting the thumbnail cache & reset the prefs..  Clips play fine in the timeline & the source window though.
    Using a new macbookpro 17 incn with lastest Lion but had the same deal on my previous laptop running Leopard.  Bowser icons also show up fine on my Macpro desktop system!
    Any suggestions appreciated.  See pic attached.
    Ta,
    Steve.

    Hi X,
    Sorry for late response I have been away.  Did a log & transfer of a clip using Native & the icon view is fine! Just seems to be the case with using Prores 422.   This wont solve my issue though as I have lots of other footage from different sources that is mainly Prores 422, which means I have to render a P2 native clip every time I drop it in the timline, which would be a pain.
    I will do some more searching on the web, someone else must have this happen.
    Cheers,
    Steve

  • Desktop Icons Moved with cmd + Option + esc

    We are hooked on Zuma (the game).
    Sometimes, to get out of Zuma (full screen) quickly, we use the <cmd><opt><esc> combination, then press <esc>.
    This often really messes up the icons on our desktops (moves them all to the top left quadrant, with no grid or other obvious alignment. Result is hap hazard and usually includes many overlaps.)
    Another <cmd><opt><esc> and a forced "relaunch" of finder moves MOST of the icons back to where they were. The ones that aren't moved back ARE moved -- just not back to the original locations. The last time this happened, I had 8 or 9 icons on top of each other in the top-most, right-most icon location.
    This is a new situation since upgrading to Leopard, and happens in both of our login accounts on the iMac.
    Thanks

    I experience the same reordering of my desktop when I plug in a USB thumb drive or insert a DVD. I normally keep files and folder in little clusters on the desktop, so having them moved is a bit annoying. I guess this is just one of those crazy things?

  • Can't drag icons across pages

    I uploaded all my iPhone apps and now I'm de-cluttering the mess. Few icons move across pages and the empty pages don't close. I can't move folders across pages at all. What trick am I missing?

    It can be done, but from my personal experience it takes a special touch.  An easier way would be to connect your iPad to iTunes, open the device, click on apps and you can use your mouse to drag icons from page to page and even create folders, by dropping one app into another (when you do, a name the folder bar opens as well).

  • Illustrator File icon problems

    Okay, I think I really messed things up on my computer. I'm on Windows 7 64-bit and I recently got through uninstalling my CS4 version of the Adobe Design Premium. Unfortunately, doing this changed my file associations and messed up the icons for file types. First my .ai files had no icon and didn't open with Illustrator CS5.1. Then I got that fixed, but .EPS had no icon. Having it open with Illustrator gave it the default .ai icon and not the .eps icon like it was before. Even the file type description is gone, having been replaced by the generic "Adobe Illustrator Artwork 15.1". SVG and SVGZ files also have the same problem.
    I've tried modifying the registry in hopes to get the correct icon back but nothing works. I already treid reinstalling the program, too. What do I do from here?

    Okay, so the default program thing fixed EPS but the file types program didn't quite fix SVG. Changing anything about SVG changes all .AI files as well, so that means there is still no distinction. It's as if the two formats are somehow one.
    I don't know if I changed anything for the worse but there isn't normally a "Adobe.Illustrator.SVG" key in the registry so if I make the .svg files not open in Illustrator, it shows up as expected. It's just that anytime it's associated with Illustrator, it defaults to the regular .ai icon instead of using its custom icon like it's supposed to for other files.

  • Damaged system icons, how do I restore them?

    I recently bought a new MacBook Pro Retina display and have been installing applications and copying over old files to start with a fresh system. I think I may have tweaked the default system icons because they look a little wierd:
    I have been playing around with Onyx, TinkerTool, and Default Folder X. I'm not sure if they had anything to do with the wierd icons or not. Everything was fine for a few days. Affected icons are in default Apple apps and 3rd party apps. Not every icon is messed up, but many are.
    I'm trying to restore them, but haven't had any luck yet. Has anyone seen this before and do you have a solution?

    I made a couple of attempts to reinstall Lion. These attempts were done by restarting and holding command-r during boot up. Not wanting to lose the information I had already added to my computer I did a restore from a time machine backup I made. Apparently this didn't touch Lion, it just re-installed my information and settings. The icon problem persisted.
    On a second attempt I decided I would try to do a clean install of Lion and figure out how to get my infomation back later. After the restart and holding command-r again my mac went into internet recovery mode. It downloaded some 4GB of data from Apple, but I'm not sure what that did. I think it downloaded OS X Lion. It then re-installed the OS. I was surprised when it came back to the login screen - it seemed that nothing had changed. Upon logging in I found that my information was still there, but the icon issue was fixed. I don't know if it installed Lion without disturbing my stuff, or if it did a clean install and then restored my info from the time machine backup. It didn't take more than an hour, hour and a half.
    In any case, all is well now. I still don't know what messed up my icons, but at least it can be fixed without too much trouble. I'm glad I'm on a mac. This would have caused headaches on Windows since it lacks native backup and restore features.

  • Apps icons won't stay arranged

    Just got a intel Mac mini on which I did a clean install of Leopard that I updated with the combo update to 10.5.8, then I repaired the permissions.
    My Applications folder is set to be viewed by icons, and then I choose "arrange by name", also setting a background pic for the folder and a size for the icons.
    Everytime I reboot the Mac, the folder is a mess with the icons everywhere, no pic, small size, etc... I tried a lot of things from permission repairs, trashing Finder pref files, cleaning caches, trashing .ds store files... nothing works!
    Any idea is welcome!

    With your window open and arranged as you prefer press COMMAND-J. Check the box at the top to always display in icon view, set any other parameters, then click the set as default button at the bottom. This should fix things.

  • Hey, where did the Help icon go??

    Just to say I did it, I decided to take a visit to the Doctor (actually I wanted to see if the Pre Plus would see any 1.4 improvements with a clean install - can't say that I can notice a difference) but I see that after using the webOS Doctor the icon for Help is gone.  I can still click on the mystery ghost box and Help opens just fine.  No idea how or why it went away.  Can't say I want to Doctor the phone again.  Any ideas out there???

    Did you have a theme on the phone?  Sometimes if you WebOSDoctor the phone and you have a theme applied to it at the time, you can mess up your icons.  Just a thought.  If you don't know what a theme is or how to theme your phone, then I don't think this is the place to discuss it, as it's not Palm approved, from what I can tell.

  • IPhone invisible icons

    Hi.... whenever I restart my springboard(iphone), I get like 5 pages of just invisible icons. When I press and hold on one of them, it gives me the option to delete it(Are you sure you want to delete the bookmark " "?.
    I deleted them all then restarted my Springboard and they all returned! I have no clue what's happening but it's really frustrating. They also mess all my icons up since they go in random places on the first 2 pages of app icons.
    Any solutions will be greatly appreciated, thanks.

  • Syncing problems when using multiple iPods on the same computer?

    I own three iPods. An 8GB nano, a 16GB touch, and a 64GB touch.
    iTunes seems to have no problems with the nano, but it seems to have issues from time to time with the two touch iPods. "Syncing" sometimes becomes "screwing up" in the form of deleting content that I have purchased.
    My latest attempt to transfer a purchase (Toy Story 3) from my 64GB touch resulted in a "sync" which has basically corrupted my media libraries. I can see on iTunes that the media is still on my iPod, and even play it within iTunes from my iPod; when I disconnect my iPod from my computer and attempt to access the same media on the iPod by itself, both my music and my video libraries are showing up blank.
    Has anyone else had the same problem?
    NOTE: My 64GB iPod touch is not the latest version; it doesn't have the HD camera, but it does have the mic input. My 16GB touch is even older, having neither the camera nor the mic. The 16GB touch is an even bigger mess, with app icons frequently appearing as big grey blocks instead of the pictures they're supposed to be.
    I like my 3 iPods. I like iTunes. I like Apple.
    I just don't like it when things stop working the way they're supposed to.

  • 10.7.2 upgrade and Exchange no longer works

    Title says it all.  I upgraded to OS 10.7.2 this morning and since then, I am unable to connect to my Exchange account at work.  And yes, I'm sure it's my Mac that's the problem.  The servers at work are fine.  My iPhone still plays well with Exchange, but my Mac Mail app won't work with the Exchange account. 
    I've deleted the entire account in the Mail App and set it up agian, but no luck.
    This conoincided excatly with the 10.7.2 upgrade.
    Anyone able to help?

    Yes and no with Lion OS.
    I used to be able to mess with the icon size slider and this would sometimes make the preview thumbnail appear, but now since the update that trick no longer works and I just get the generic .RAW icon for all my RAW files.
    In finder, view options:  "show icon  preview" is checked and I messed with all the other settings as well with no solution.
    I never had this issue until I bought this new iMAC with Lion. My other iMacs with Snow Leopard work fine and display RAW preview thumbnails with no issues.

  • How do I stop Windows 7 from rearranging my desktop after updates requiring reboots?

    Every time I receive an update from Microsoft (MS) my computer reboots. That's okay. But, MS rearranges all the icons on my desktop! It takes forever to get them back where I NEED them because of class project reqirements to save projects on the desktop
    for qiuick access. The computer is mine, not MS's; I paid for the software when I bought the computer, it was installed by ASUS; as I see it, MS has no business rearranging the way I have my desktop. I WANT THEM TO STOP IT!

    Try right-clicking anywhere in the blank space on your desktop and from
    the menu that appears mouse over “View”, uncheck “Auto arrange icons”. If that doesn't stop it from messing up your icon arrangement the next thing is to make it so you don't care if it happens or not because the same way it can mess things up in an instant
    you can put them right back in an instant.
    Myself I have found success with to different programs...
    UltraMon and Restore Desktop.
    UtraMon which is for controlling your desktop when you have multiple monitors.
    It has a checkbox setting under "Desktop Icons" and two options "Save Now" and " Restore Now." You get your desktop just how you like it and hit the save now and then if Windows ever jumbles your icons you hit the restore now
    and poof everything jumps right back to how it was a second ago and stays put. Every time your icons move you can now move them back exactly the way you like in less than 5 seconds. If you want to change things around yourself just make the any changes you
    want and hit the "save now" again and it will remember your new icon layout and jump back to that new arrangement going forward when you hit "restore now."
    The other I have not used in a while (once you go multi-monitor you don't
    go back :D) but it was free IIRC and only served the one purpose you are seeking was called Restore Desktop. It worked the same but instead of having to open a separate app like UltaMon it just added two options to the right click menu "Save Desktop"
    and "Restore Desktop" once you've got everything set the way you like right click anywhere that is not an icon on your desktop and save and anytime things get jumbled you can right click the desktop and choose restore and everything magically jumps
    back to the way you want it again.
    Cheers!

  • T500: restart with 2nd monitor plugged in changes laptop monitor resolution

    If I plug my monitor in after the laptop starts, it works fine, I can extend desktop to the monitor.
    If I reboot with the monitor plugged in the laptop display resolution is reduced , messing up my icon layout.  Anyone know how to change this behavior? I am assuming this is probably because it assumes I am in a docking station or something?

  • E71 with Nokia Messaging but not pushmail.

    Hello
    excuse me but i'm french and my english is medium.
    So, i have a E71 and i installed since 1 month a soft of messaging with a real push mail (a beta version).
    But i delete involuntarily the soft and i don't remenber this name.
    And today i downloaded and installed Nokia Messaging.
    Apparently, this soft is not a push mail. I can only adjust the synchronization that all the 30min.Is it normal?
    And the presentation to the screen is different than on the Nokia web.
    thank you for your answers.
    roro

    Thank you
    But i think Nokia Messaging bad installed because i have not this set. I have only "intervalle connexion" 6h, 4h, 2h 1h and 30min.
    Often i had the possibility to modify this setting but here, it is different. ??????
    I have the sensation to have the simple version of the e-mail of Nokia.
    It is bizarre but in Menu, Installations, i have 2 icons @.
    one icon @ Config.Mess and one icon @ Email.
    When i press on the first one, i have access to the creation for a new adress mail.
    When i press on @ Email, there is nothing.
    there is a problem, no?
    bye

  • E71 not starting nokia messaging but mailbox setup...

    I've recently reset my phone to factory settings (everything - code *#7370#), and the first next thing I did is reinstall nokia messaging by visiting email.nokia.com through my mobile web browser, only to find that starting the pink "@" Email or Email setup wizard, i get plain old email mailbox/account setup wizard for regular built-in mailbox.
    I've managed to install everything successfully just a couple of days earlier, when the phone was v300, and now after updating to v400 everything just fails.
    Please help

    Thank you
