Just recently some of the preview icons of files on my desktop are missing, what would normally be there is replaced with dashed lines, why is this and is there a fix?:

Evan,
Have you restarted your computer since you observed these anomalies?

My Entire iphoto Library is missing - only showing missing icons please hel

Hi there, I am in quite a mess. I purchased an external hard drive to back up all my content on my computer. I was attempting to backup my iphoto which was not exporting properly. I went into the help menu to see how to back up to an external hard drive. The description was given to me on Help as going into pictures in Finder and then into iphoto library where all the photos would be backed up and I could copy and transfer to the external hard drive from there. There were several icons in that location and I clicked on one that was titled iphotlibrary6 (or something similar) to see if the photos were in there. Then I got a pop up saying was rebulding thumbnail caches and then all my photos showed the missing icons but I can't get the photos to show or come back. I looked in the trasha dn they are not there. I don't know what to do to get them back.
This happened a while ago when my iphoto crashed (support didn't know how this happened) and I had to get my entire macbook reconfigured.
I would really appreciate someone's help as the phone support refuses to help me unless I pay them more $.
I haven't touched anything else on the iphoto and it says it has 1730 photos so I know there are in here somewhere as I have not deleted anything.
Please help me get these back!
Thanks in advance!

HI again, I got them back thanks! I did a check in search for the original and modified folder as they weren't in the pictures:iphoto library. I found them in the trash. I don't know how they got there, I most likely put them there somehow but I moved them back to their proper location and then did as was suggested (Hold Alt and Apple and launch iPhoto) and they all came back (in their proper locations too!).
Thanks again so much for your help! I hope someone else can learn from my lack of computer know-how!

Can I see contact icons/pictures in iMessage on iPhone 5 running iOS 7?

Can I see my contact icons/pictures in iMessage on iPhone 5 running iOS 7? I know this is a stupid little thing, but all my previous Android phones would show the contact icons/pictures not only in the conversation but also in the list of iMessage threads. This was exceptionally helpful for me, as I am slightly dyslexic. It saved me several times from sending messages to the wrong person. Since I coordinate my entire job through my phone, I really miss this feature. If anyone knows of anyway to get this feature back please let me know.
Thank you!!

The only time you can see the contact picture is in a group message, unfortunately.

Win 7 "Default Programs" does not include MS Office 2007 Programs, the missing Programs are missing ICONs as well

I installed Windows 7 in an upgrade from Windows XP. As part of the process MS gave me a URL to download a Office 2007 Pro I could activate with the license key I owned. I got similar URLs for Visio Professional and Project Professional.
Downloaded, installed, activated, started the programs.
From the beginning some of the icons were missing. Like the icons for Word, Excel, Access, Outlook, Power Point, Publisher, Visio, and of course Project. I tried most of the answers in this forum, that didn't sound like guesswork, and none of
them solved either problem. There must be at least 65 guesses to fix the icon problem, but none with the missing Default Programs problem.
The programs related to the missing "Default Programs" still work, they startup when you select the related document. If I check "Associate a File Type or Protocol with a Specific Program" the missing Office 2007 programs are listed
there, associated with the designated programs, but are missing icons.
I make it a habit not to pay a vendor for a product so that I can have the privilege of fixing the vendor's problems. Google tells me these are well known problems. The only thing missing is the answer. I won't ever use MS chat or telephone,
because all they do is tell me why they can't help and transfer me elsewhere.
Does anyone have a REAL answer please?

To restore office icons you could try this method
http://transitionmarketing.wordpress.com/2013/01/16/restoring-microsoft-office-icons/
I had the same problem with Office 2010 programs not showing in "Set Your Default Programs". No other "fixes" (including repair) worked. Found this thread:
http://www.sevenforums.com/microsoft-office/222503-office-2010-not-listed-default-programs.html
and used it as a guide. When you look at this key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\RegisteredApplications
you will see a list of software pointing to another HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE registry key. For example, my Word program was showing up as "Word.Application.14" and pointing to Software\Clients\Word Processing\Microsoft Word\Capabilities
(In contrast, PastorMike's fix in the link above advocates making a new entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\Capabilities. However, OneNote did appear in my "Set Your Default Programs" and it - and the other Office programs
- were listed under ..\Software\Clients\... and not ...\Software\Microsoft\...)
So at this point I went my own way (although maybe PastorMike's fix would also work).
The difference between OneNote and the other programs was the existence of values for "ApplicationName" and "ApplicationDescription" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Clients\Word Processing\Microsoft Word\Capabilities. Also, for OneNote
there was a "FileAssociations" sub-key that was missing from the other programs.
It is setting the values for ApplicationName and ApplicationDescription which cause the program to show up in the list in the left pane of "Set Your Default Programs". And it is the file associations in the FileAssociations key that allows resetting
associations en masse when they are snaffled by another program.
Below is the reg file I added for Word 2010. (i used similar for the other programs) After doing this, Word appeared after reopening "Set Default Programs" - no reboot required
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Word Processing\Microsoft Word\Capabilities]
"ApplicationDescription"="Create and edit professional-looking documents such as letters, papers, reports, and booklets by using Microsoft Word."
"ApplicationName"="Microsoft Word 2010"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Word Processing\Microsoft Word\Capabilities\FileAssociations]
".doc"="Word.Document.8"
".dochtml"="wordhtmlfile"
".docm"="Word.DocumentMacroEnabled.12"
".docmhtml"="wordmhtmlfile"
".docx"="Word.Document.12"
".docxml"="wordxmlfile"
".dot"="Word.Template.8"
".dothtml"="wordhtmltemplate"
".dotm"="Word.TemplateMacroEnabled.12"
".dotx"="Word.Template.12"
".htm"="wordhtmlfile"
".html"="wordhtmlfile"
".odt"="Word.OpenDocumentText.12"
".rtf"="Word.RTF.8"
".wbk"="Word.Backup.8"
".wiz"="Word.Wizard.8"
".wll"="Word.Addin.8"
By using my ramblings and the link provided above you may be able fix the problem you are having with Office 2007. However, I am unsure of how to find the necessary file associations for Office 2007 except by trawling through your registry for the filetypes
listed in the link above and the values for them in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.

How can I restore missing icons?

The Skype icon has been replaced with the default paper, pencil, paintbrush icon. It shows this way in the dock and when i search for it in the finder. The program still works normally. If I duplicate the app, the Skype icon shows properly on the dupe version. If I then delete the old one and then rename the copy to "Skype" instead of "Skype copy," then it returns to the missing icon. I Googled this issue and everyone seems to have a different answer. I ran disk permission repair and that did nothing. I'm weary of doing anything with the terminal unless I know for sure it is a fix. Thanks.

Hello killheroes,
So if you duplicate the Skype app the correct icon is seen, but if you rename it back to Skype you lose the icon again?
What happens if you copy the correct icon into the renamed Skype?

No Wii Icon/picture Device?

I have the latest version of the EasyLink software installed. All network devices (wired & wireless) are connecting fine and I’m running Windows XP Home.
I connected an X-box 360 console unit wirelessly and it created an icon/picture that looks like the Xbox console. However, when I successfully connected a wireless Nintendo Wii console I did not get a Wii icon, but instead a joystick icon. Is this correct?
Does the Wii have its own built in picture icon like the Xbox 360?
If so, how do I get the Wii icon to show in the network map?

Well, at least you got an icon of sorts! I'm using Vista Ultimate (32 bit) and I can't even get the Wii to show up in LELA (Version 3.0 Build 8053.17). Don't get me wrong, it connects to the router (WRT54G2) without any issues it's just it doesn't show up on the LELA interface which is a tad sad as everything else does, including both my statically assigned VoIP phones.
I wonder if anyone from support can shed light onto this?

Missing Icons in "Multiple Selection Window"

Hi Folks,
I am trying to solve an issue in regards to missing icons.
In any report when you click on the multiple selection icon on the right, you get a new window with 4 options.
1. Select Single Value (Green Dots)
2. Select Ranges (Green Dots)
3. Exclude SIngle Values (Red Dots)
4. Exclude Ranges (Red Dots)
We are upgrading our system to ECC6.0 from 5.0 and I do not see these icons in DEV and Quality since the upgrade. Is this a setting or Config? Please advise
Regards

Any idea folks? Still having this issue.
Your help is appreciated.

Missing icons from Photoshop CS6

I don't know if anyone has run into this problem, but there's a discussion going on about it in the Adobe Photoshop forums. Taking it here to see if it's an OS problem or a Photoshop problem.
When saving a file from Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended, file icons will not be saved with any format (forget about the alpha channel docs) - png, tif, jpg, psd, etc. I booted from my Lion Installer flash drive, repaired permissions and disk and some icon previews reappeared. Some didn't. No generic icon or anything. My Photoshop prefs are set to save a preview on the icons, as are with the 3 other Mac users who have reported the same problem.
Has anyone else run into this problem? Does anyone have a solution. Adobe seems to be pointing the finger at Apple but, I have to admit, employees at Adobe seem stymied as well.
Thanks,
Clinton

Ok, this is going to sound dumb, but, I found a work-around (at least on my local mac) for the missing icons & previews.
The bad: I am having is when I save a CS6 .PSD, .TIF, .JPG, .ETC files, I get no icons or previews in finder...
The good: if I rename the file inside a search results window, then a preview & icon is genererated giving me a glimse of what the file contents are.
The bad: the new preview only shows up in the search results window, if I open the enclosing folder, the new preview is gone... where the renaming thing doesn't do anything with the preview or icon...
The sad face: Apple? Adobe? Anyone?
My first copy of PhotoShop was a beta of 1.0 that I got from Nikon way back in the "oh no you can't do that on a Mac" days and have been using Apple products before that... I have never seen such a blant UI issue that has gone on for so long without a fix. Shame, shame, shame...

"Missing" Icon in Sidebar under PLACES / Sluggish Response (if at all)

First, the icons in the sidebar "PLACES" for all placed folders on a xServe or other computers are the white-dog-eared missing icon. When clicked, nothing happens. Click it 12 times in a row, really really fast, it might finally connect.
Weird. I have two computers connected the same exact way... one with SL and one with L. SL doesn't work.
Any ideas, or super psycho sudu terminal strings?
Thanks.

Additionally, we tried both of these methods to no avail:

SMB doesn't work from MAC to PC. And on the PC, the MAC does not show up on as a network node as in the previous post above.

Hi, av, Ryan, jp, and ~Bee —
~Curious that it would be just a few icons on a single webpage.
Hopefully, one of the latest ideas that ~Bee posted has helped you to find the culprit. If not...
I wonder if it's a filter gone awry.
Nothing resounds, but just adding to the brainstorming:
I realize that Ryan has already asked about ad blockers, but you may want to double-check to confirm that you're not using a filter inadvertently. VersionTracker lists Mac-compatible examples, including: PithHelmet, AdGate, NetSentry, gccc, loopBlock, AdSanity, Additioner, and SpeedManiac. Most or all of these offer an option to block graphic images to boost browser performance — a feature which might be in force even when you've disabled the primary ad-blocking features. In some cases, this may be activated by a simple keyboard shortcut.
Another way you could block certain servers is by using a "hosts file" associated with lookupd and niload or nidomain. Do you recall ever setting up a hosts file of domains that you wanted to block? (If you think this is possible but can't recall for sure — feel free to post back; this can be checked using a simple Terminal command.)
Just my 3¾¢ — for free. . .
Good luck! and
Regards,
Dean
