Missing or wrong file type icons

Got my new Retina iMac this week (running OS X 10.10 of course) and went through and downloaded/installed all my lovely programs but now some of the file type icons are showing up as awful exec type file icons (see below).
All the .indd files were created in the same version Adobe InDesign CC 2014 and InDesign is set as the default program for all these file types, but as you will be able to see, some have that awful black icon. Blergh!
Any suggestions?

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.

I don't want to write custom pipe line and I also don't want to hard code file types in XSLT.
Is there any solution to change content class?
There is difference in contentclass in source XML.

Backup MaxDB 7.6 mit HP Data Protector; Wrong file type

Hi Marcus,
we use the version 5.5.
The pipe name is generated by the Data Protector. When I want to create manually a pipe with this name I got the message "No hit found".
Do you know a possibilty where we can configure (at Data Protector or MaxDB) which medium name should be used for creating the pipe?
Thanks a lot!

PDF File Type Icon Not Displaying HELP!!!

Hey guys!
I have a quick question that I need resolved. Make sure you READ before you respond as people seem to be having trouble with this one.
Something happened on my system to where .pdf files aren't displaying the PDF file type image anymore. They're just displaying the Windows default non-associated file icon.
But the weird thing is that the .pdf file type IS associated with Adobe Acrobat, and when double clicked they DO open in Acrobat.
I checked inside of Acorbat.dll and the file type icon IS in there...so this is leading me to believe that something is messed up in the registry to where Windows doesn't know to link a .pdf with the icon inside of Acrobat.dll.
So my question is this...how do I RELINK the .pdf file type with the PDF file type icon located inside of Acrobat.dll???

Before you start editing the registry try the suggestions given in the FAQ:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bbc2da9
failing that try doing a repair of acrobat from the help menu.
If still no joy let us know.

I downloaded the latest updates for Adobe Raw as well as the DNG converter, however I don't want to have to convert to DNG before opening in Bridge. Please let me know what I can do to open the CR2 files directly in Bridge CS4, thank you!

File Error: Wrong File Type for Project File

Just had our 2nd LaCie 2tb hard drive crash. Just completed a project and was about ready to compress it when the drive wouldnt boot up anymore. I tried every program under the sun before eventually sending it off for data recovery.
$1700 dollars later I have all my files, except one little change.
My FCP project files are not recognizable by FCP anymore. In the get info box it says they are "Kind: Final Cut Pro Document" The preview picture is a gradient box with exec in the green text in the upper left corner. I tried adding the .fcp extension, but it still wouldn't open it. I keep getting the "File Error: Wrong File Type" when I try opening it with FCP.
Anything I can do to fix this?
Thanks

You might give the following a try...
1. open the .fcp file with TextEdit
2. save the file again
3. open with fcp

File type icons in CS6 Design and Web Premium

Hello everyone.
I am running Windows 7, 64 bit. I have recently upgraded from CS5.5 Design Premium to CS6 Design and Web Premium.
I the process, I lost the association of file types (such as .psd) with their relevant programs, which I have now recified.
However, the filetype icons that are associated with each program, in most cases, don't seem to have assigned themselves to their respecitive icons. For example, .psd files now show as a white document with the blue Ps square icon in the centre, and the same for InDesign etc. Oddly, Illustrator has worked and has assigned it's icons correctly.
For example:
I can't find a method of editing specific file types icons - even then, I wouldn't know where to find the particular icon sets.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance either way.

I used the CS Cleaner (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html) and followed the steps its really easy.. but ur gonna have to re install you Creative Suite all u do for the cleaner is open it up then select english (e) ->enter->Agree (Y)->enter->All (1) (which is the first option for a full clean i guess)->enter->Product Number its just basically asking you to input your choice number again (1)->enter and should tell u its all done then after u install CS again go to start-> default programs->associate file type->.psd for example->double click it and select Photoshop even though its probably already selected >.< but just do it again cuz it will refresh all the files on the coputer and whala you should c the correct file dysplay Heres pictures of my files before and after as proof

How get File Type Icon Image

how get File Type Icon Image (Windows )
FileSystemView.getSystemIcon( File );works in swing application, can not be used for javafx.scene.image.ImageView;

Hmm, good question.
Looking at the FileChooser, it looks like the native chooser is used so possibly the JFX guys didn't have to expose access to the icons to make it work. You might want someone to confirm, but my guess is there is no equivalent yet in JFX.
Assuming there's nothing, you could try the hacks in here to convert the image: Image conversion between AWT and FX
Failing that you're probably looking at raising a JIRA feature request to get it in a future release.

File error: wrong file type

So my friend dropped my MacBook Pro the other day and broke my hard drive. Most of the data (well, 300 out of 500G) was recovered, but all I *really* cared about was the FEATURE LENGTH FILM I'd spent the last 4 months editing. And of course it was too big to fit on my external hard drive and I'm too broke to buy a new one, so if I can't get it open from the recovered data I'm going to have to re-edit the thing.
The file itself did seem to survive the data recovery process, but when I open the file, it gives me an error: "File error: wrong file type." I've played around with the extensions- first saving the extensionless file as a .fce (this is actually FCE, not FCP, but I thought people might have better answers in this forum), which didn't work, then tried saving it as a .txt, then resaving as .fce, which also didn't work. No matter what I do, it's still giving me the "wrong file type" error.
Is my data probably just corrupted and I'm screwed? Or is there anything else I can try to recover the project? Most of my source files seem to have survived (although they all lost their .mov extension), but the Final Cut file itself just won't open.
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Amy

You might give the following a try...
1. open the .fcp file with TextEdit
2. save the file again
3. open with fcp

Wrong File Type Association

I copied the main folders in my home directory because I wanted to format my Mac. One of which was my Music folder. When I copied it back not only was some of my music strangely missing but everything was changed to open with Text Edit. Even if I tell the Finder to Always Open With iTunes and open it, it plays in iTunes and changes the icon to the proper iTunes icon, but the other like file types remain with the Text Edit icon and still open with iTunes.
Is there a way to force (other than Always Open With, since it doesn't work) the Finder to open certain files with a certain application?

You can try RCDefault App, which is free.

File Type Icons Not Working

Hey everyone, the issue I'm haveing is not just with Photoshop, but sense I couldnt find a general CS5 forum, and Photoshop was the last CS5 application I noticed this for I'm hoping to find some answers here.
So on to the issue....
I have noticed that on other computers (Macs for sure) that Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver etc... are set as the default handlers of certain file types that are associated with each application, and as such, give each filetype there own little icons reflecting such. (see screenshot)
However on my system (Windows 7 Ultimate x64) this does not seem to be the case. I can go in and set them as default manually, which I have done for the filetypes I use most frequently, but I do not get to enjoy the nice icons that are made for each filetype, i just get a bland, default icon that is the same for every filetype.
As you can see, some of the file icons are working just fine (the .ai, .eps and .php) but the files I have had to set manually (.html and .psd) give me the default windows association icon that is simply the applications icon on top of a blank file. To clear up any confusion as to what icons I'm talking about, the icons in the "Change Icon" menu are the ones that should be shown, but are not.
Is there a way to fix this issue?
Thanks for you help.

This may help. not sure.

Corrupt file type icons in finder

Hi there,
I discovered a problem with small icons in Finder and it's driving me insane that I can't figure out how it happened and how to remedy it. Hope anyone here can help!
The symptoms:
The problem concerns .mkv and .srt files. In the list or column view in Finder, these file types have exec icons instead of the regular VLC icons. However, when I change to icon or cover flow view, the correct VLC icons are shown. Also in quick look the correct icons are shown. So, the problem only seems to concern small icons, but not large ones.
I tried to change the icon via Command+I. The preview icons are correct, only in the tool bar the incorrect small exec is shown. However, when I drag-drop the small exec icon from the bar to the large item, also small exec icon in Finder changes to the correct VLC icons. But only for this particular file and for all files of that type. Also when I download a new .srt or .mkv file the small icons are again exec images. SOO weird!
What scares me a little is that I did a another clean install of Yosemite after I discovered this. And nothing changed! What is happening here? I hope someone can help!
Potential cause:
The problem wasn't there after I updated to Yosemite. I did a clean install and everything was fine. However, at one point I ran the OS X version of Gmaptool (a .img merge app for Garmin navigation maps). The app is only a command line and the file also has an exec icon. After I ran this command line, the problem occurred. Does anyone know how this could have happened?
Thanks for your help! It's driving me insane!

Perhaps it's a good idea to upload a few screenshots
As you can see in the first three pictures, only small icons show the exec icon. Large ones are the correct VLC icons. The last two show the Info windows. In the first one, you can see the small exec icon in the tool bar. It changed after I dropped this exec icon on the icon field (see second Info picture). However, this only changed the small icon for this particular file, not for all .srt files.
Is there some weird preference causing this? I also found a few system files now have exec icon (see picture below). I think that wasn't the case before. How can I change it? Can I reset the small icons somehow? Would it help to securely erase the hard drive? I have nothing on the drive anyways, so that would be an easy option for me.
Thanks!
