Missing all System Icons

Yesterday all of a sudden I noticed that all of the Mac system icons are missing from the top bar, finder, drop down menus, etc. I've already restarted it, several times and ran a virus scan. I contacted Apple support and the rep said she wasn't sure why it was doing this and the only way to fix it was to do an Internet Recovery. I created a test account and it's not an issue on that other account. Has the happened to anyone or know how to fix it?
I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2014). I haven't installed any new software recently. I installed 10.10.1 the day it came out and this hasn't been an issue.

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, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login 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, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

MSS Approval chip - missing Workflow system icon / image

Hello to all,
We are implementing HR Renewal 2.0 FP2 on a Gateway Hub setup.
The TASKPROCESSING IW_PGW component was configured and the workflow from the Backend are showing up and when clicked the approval task is displaying the new UI5 approval screen (which is nice :-).
The only issue so far is the Missing image / icon for the Workflow system as shown in the screen shot.
Using Httwatch, there are no error. Anyone experienced this similar issue?

Same here...looks like the image source is returned via the odata call.

Hello jo90733,
I would recommend reinstalling Mountain Lion to replace the missing/damaged components of these applications. While the process shouldn't affect any data (images, music, etc) you have on the system, it's always a good idea to have a backup in place prior to reinstalling.
OS X Mountain Lion: Back up your Mac
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11371
OS X Mountain Lion: Reinstall OS X
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10763
Important: You need to be connected to the Internet to reinstall OS X.
Choose Apple menu > Restart. Once your Mac restarts (and the gray screen appears), hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys.
If you’re not connected to the Internet, choose a network from the Wi-Fi menu (in the top-right corner of the screen).
Select Reinstall OS X, and then click Continue.
Follow the onscreen instructions. In the pane where you select a disk, select your current OS X disk (in most cases, it is the only one available).
To start the installation, click Install.
Cheers,
Allen

All my icons are missing from the Menu bar.. help!

Hi everyone,
Today I noticed that all my icons are missing from the right hand side of my screen. There is no Wifi, Bluetooth, clock, or Spotlight! How does this happen?!?
Does anyone have any solutions?
Thanks, Timmay

Hi
One reason for this behaviour is installing a Front Row hack that lets you run Front Row on an unsupported Mac. If this applies to you see Dr. Smoke's Uninstalling the Front Row hack FAQ.

System preferences crashes when mouse icon is selected. All other icons seem to function.

System preferences crashes when mouse icon is selected. All other icons seem to function.Software is OSX 10.7.5. Update shows software is updated. I tried to reset the PRAM, but it did not help. When resetting PRAM, I did not get a 2nd klaxon on startup.

That implies that the underlying OS is corrupted. Best thing to do is boot into recovery mode and reinstall the OS, unless you have an installer copy. If so, use Pacifist to reinstall the SystemPreferences app.

HT5858 I just updated to IOS 7 on my iPhone 4s and now all the Icons for Apps I had downloaded no longer appear on my home screen all the other Icons are there just the Apps I downloaded since I got the phone are missing.

I just updated my iPhone 4s to IOS 7 and now all my icons for apps I had previously downloaded B4 the upgrade dont show on my home screen,does anyone know what happen and how I can get the icons back on my screen??

Apps are in iTunes, are not part of the backup and when you updated the phone, you need to sync that content back.

"Missing operating system" help!

Hey all,
My Mini's hard drive died the other day, so I installed a new one. I have the OSX dvd in my drive, and when I go to boot up, I get an error message "Missing operating system."
If I try to boot from CD by holding down the C button on my keyboard, nothing happens -- same error message. It appears my USB keyboard isn't powered.
Any ideas?

The Apple Aluminum keyboard doesn't work with the startup keys on the mini.
You can use your Apple remote instead: as soon as you hear the startup chime or beep, hold down the menu button on the remote. It will put disc icon up on the screen that you can select with your mouse.
Keep in mind that you need to use the install disc that shipped with your model of Mini -- or else a full retail version.

How can I stop Lion tidying my desktop and putting all my icons in alphabetical order. I like my files to stay where I put them!

How can I stop Lion tidying my desktop and putting all my icons in alphabetical order. I like my files to stay where I put them! Every morning I boot up and all my desktop items have been moved. How can I stop this?
By the way - Lion is the worst 'upgrade' ever.

Hello again:
I've been to 'view' - and all I can see are the same options as before. Nothing which says the equivalent of 'stop Lion tidying my desktop alphabetically every time I boot up' - alas.
Hmmm. Try something:
Trash a preference file (com.apple.finder.plist) and restart. Then go to the view option while in Finder. There should be a "show view options." Select that and sort by "none."
FWIW, I have had no discernable change in speed under OS X 10.7, but that is just my system. I only use Adobe's free stuff. Have you checked with Adobe to see if there are updates available? I rarely use text edit so I have no benchmark. I don't like the missing save as either

P.S. I am not being contrary - I just like to learn from the experiences of others.

Playbook system icons lost

In checking the PB documentation about the dock function I moved the 6 icons currently displayed in the top row of the home screen (the "dock"??) into the home screen area below it, thus emptying this area. When I tried to return the icons to the dock they simply disappeared. Later I found 6 error messages in the "i" area at the top left of the screen that seemed to be related to each attempt to return the icons to their original positions. I don't remember the details, but they contained the words "array_index" and "invalid". This looks like a software bug. I've lost 4 system icons (Browser, DocsToGo, Music, Weather) and 2 other links. Using the file manager applications, I've searched for a possible way to get these icons back without success. While I can access documents and music through the file manager(s), I've found no way to re-activate the browser. I assume that it's only the shortcut icons that have been lost (deleted?) and not the actual applications.
I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to fix this. I assume it means doing a full backup (30 GB of data), security wipe then reloading the OS, but I'd rather avoid that if at all possible.

It's counter-intuative but move any icons in the Dock to the vacant Home screen until the Dock is also empty of icons... Now move them back to the Dock. As you do so, they will each disappear and a notification alert icon (excalmation mark on white disc background) about an array error is displayed in the top right of the screen. Ignore this alert and do the same for all the icons in the Home screen until they have all been similarly "disappeared". Eventually, the Dock and Home screen will be devoid of any icons at all.
Now, restart your PB and you should find all previously missing icons are restored to the Dock and Home screen..
Do report back to this thread !

Downloading iTunes changes all my icons to iTunes

When I download iTunes onto my computer (Windows 7) it changes all the icons on my desktop to iTunes and iTunes will not open at all. Help please!

Hiya Katrina! I might have accidentally made some progress on this one yesterday.
Every time I've seen it reported and I've tried to do some work on it, it has only affected one user account on the PC.
So ... it might be related to a damaged icon cache for the affected user account. (There's one of those for each different user account on the PC. This is what I accidentally learned yesterday while trying to research a fix for a slightly different problem.)
If that's what is going on, rebuilding the icon cache might get folks past it:
http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/how-to-rebuild-the-icon-cache-in-windows-vista /
... Trouble is that that's all educated(?) guesswork/speculation, and the procedure looks a bit hairy. It's the sort of thing where I'd definitely be setting a System Restore Point for the system prior to giving it a go.

I wanted to have the SSDs in RAID0 with Win7 and the games on it, then a volume on the 2TB that the RAID backs up to, with the remaining 1.5TB just free storage space in another volume. I couldn't get raid past Win7's Where Do You Want To Install screen during installation, so I ended up installing the OS on just one SSD. I figured I'd backup the functioning OS to the 2TB then rebuild the RAID array and copy the OS back onto it.
The system had been up an running for a full day, being updated left and right nonstop, several big games put in, etc etc, everything was running fine until I decided to run MSI Live Update and started pumping in updates. Constant errors as I went along, but generally it'd just skip to the next installation attempt. When it got down to updating the BIOS and did it's DOS injection thing, it for forcefully shut down the PC, restarted, did Post, flashed the BIOS wallpaper, restarted again, Posted, no BIOS wallpaper, just endless "Missing Operating System". Walked away, went to bed, back up and at it for a few minutes (Will be back tonight for however long it takes to get it fixed). I switched the BIOS switch over, no dice. Feels like it's a BIOS "OS" that's gone, and that a BIOS reset/flash is in order or something, but I've never done these things.
Thanks in advance for any rendered assistance that leads to resolution.

The SSDs are definitely hooked up where they're supposed to go; the motherboard had a little sticker n' everything for where the two SSD dedicated SATA 6.0gbps ports were :P AND my case has 2 specific slots for SSDs which don't use the hotswap electronics PCB passthrough like the other 4 bays, which is where the 2T is installed. I was going to take the 2TB out and hook it up normally and see if that changed the speeds, but I'm leaning towards wishful thinking. Did I mention I went and made several volumes with different file cluster sizes to test and see if that was the issue? Alas, all were borked. It still confuses me though because every once n' awhile it'd do massive burst speeds the way it's supposed to.
As far as I can recall I'm using up to date BIOS, the last one or two. One BIOS switch is set for the last BIOS, the other switch is a step back devoid of the Windows 8 stuff. I believe I have all the drivers up to date as well. Intel 335's are literally brand new, mine hadn't been more than 3 weeks old off the production line when I received them; IE, they should pretty much have the latest firmware on them which spares me the risk of destroying something precious
I MIGHT have a SATA external enclosure around here somewhere, if so, the 2TB could go in that for additional testing until I figure out where it's sustaining speeds of 2-10MB vs 100-150MB/second.
Meanwhile, the good news is that the system has been fully operational and hella stable. I hadn't slept in almost 3 days, playing and installing stuff nonstop. The system continues to run cooler (32c@stock CPU speed) as the thermal paste sets in, the knocking sound of the fan in the PSU has gone away upon me reawakening a bit ago, and amazingly, this massive system (with EIGHT fans) draws only 60-65 watts while desktopping. That's just astounding

How to solve this "Prefix number: entry missing for system EC5 client 800"

Hi,
I am workflow learner, I am having theoretical knowledge on it.
Now, I started to practice practically in my IDES server.
I am getting an error message while I am trying to save my standard task with my object type and method and event (which were already created in SWO1).
My error message details.....
Prefix number: entry missing for system EC5 client 800
Message no. 5W023
Diagnosis
Tasks, rules, and workflow definitions require an ID that is unique throughout all systems and clients. In this way, you can ensure that you can transport these objects from one system into another at any time (without restrictions). From a technical point of view, the uniqueness of the ID is ensured by what is known as a "prefix number". You can define a separate prefix number for every system and every client in table T78NR.
System response
If a prefix number is not defined in the client in which you are currently working, it is not possible to maintain (maintenance terminates).
Even I tried to create on entry in the table T78NR, but as that is standard table, I am unable to make an entry.
Hope we have to configure the workflow, I am not having any Basis consultant with me. Can anyone help to cross this problem.
Thanks and Regards,
Surender Batlanki.

When starting InDesignCS2 received new error message -- InDesign is missing required system fonts or

We are not able to start Indesign CS2 without getting the error message: <<InDesign is missing required system fonts or CMap files. Please reinstall InDesign.>> This is on WinXP. Recently I installed Creative Suite CS4. It took almost a day to install. The installation kept on stopping. Each time we were able to install one more program. After checking all of the programs we discovered that Firefox would not start due to a possible font error. After reading many posts I decided to uninstall a lot of fonts since I did not know which one was the culprit. However now I am missing a font (at least I hope that this is caused by a missing font and not anything else) that should be there and I don't know which one it should be. I did uninstall a <lot> of fonts and don't remember which ones. WE did uninstall all CS2 programs and then reinstalled only the necessary three. However that did not make any difference. Any ideas and suggestions would be welcome Thanks Pia Pehtla
