Mp4 files have lost their quicktime icons!!

just noticed this and not sure when it happened
all my .mp4 files on all hard drives connected to my 10.4.9 G5 have lost their quicktime icons. they all open in quicktime just fine, but they do not automatically have the proper quicktime icons anymore. .mov files still have their icons
it's not an operational problem but I'd still like to solve it
only thing I can think of is that I upgraded my quicktime and itunes to the latest versions within the past couple of days.
I've repaired permissions and rebooted to no avail
has anyone seen this and know how to fix it?

Hi David,
Get Info on one of the affected files with the blank icon. Click on the icon in the Get Info window and press the Delete key. (not the Backspace key)
Provided that the default application to open .mp4 files is QuickTime player, the icon should change to the standard QT icon.
If this works, change all files of that type to open with the QuickTime Player by default. (unfortunately I'm at work, on a PC, and can't give you the button detail verbatim - working from memory now) That should reassociate the QT player with all .mp4 files, and thus assign the correct icon.
Hope this helps,
Steve

  • Since updating to version 8.0.1 many websites have lost their identity icon.

    In the address bar and Bookmarks a lot of web sites have lost their identity icon in Firefox 8.0.1 (which were there before). Holding the cursor over the icon area brings up a message saying 'this site does not supply identity information'. But this message also comes up when putting the cursor over one ''with'' an icon. Some sites have the icon in Bookmarks but it doesn't show in the address bar. I have found it does not happen on Vista laptop, only on Windows 7 desktop.

    Hi. I think there are two different things going on here. The "identify information" message relates to something unrelated to the webicon. From what I can tell it has to do with digital signing. I had to do some browsing before I found a site that actually ''was'' signed: Google. When you go to Google you'll see the site name to the right of the webicon with the url afterward. Holding cursor over it shows google.com's signed by Thawte Consulting. Oddly enough, VeriSign is not...um...verified. The story on this one will be interesting.
    As far as the webicon goes, if you provide links to a few sites that don't work I'd be glad to take a look. I haven't had the problem yet on Lion or Win 7 Pro, but that doesn't mean anything. It could be the way the icon is identified or its filetype: .ico and .png files can be used (maybe others) and there are different ways to identify them: link rel="shortcut icon" or "icon" and type="image/x-icon" or "image/png" if a png file's used. Could be 8.01 no longer recognizes one of these or incorrectly stated ones it was OK with in the earlier release. All guesses of course w/o having something to look into.

  • Framework files have lost their magic juju

    I have a bunch of .framework files that used to be packages, but seem to have lost some flag in the file system metadata, or something. They now appear as regular folders and can easily be navigated into just like any other folder (without having to "show package contents"). What's more, they no longer function the way they are supposed to. Is there any handy command line method of "re-packaging" these frameworks? Something in the form of:
    makepackage /path/to/brokenpackage
    Thanks.

    There is also a bundle bit that is set for certain folders and that will cause them to look like files in the Finder, even without a folder extension. For instance, in my Photoshop plugin folder, if I look at the the TWAIN plugin in Terminal, using the GetFileInfo command (available if you have installed Developer Tools) it has the bundle bit set:
    francine$ GetFileInfo TWAIN
    directory: "TWAIN"
    attributes: avBstclinmed
    created: 12/23/2003 23:38:41
    modified: 12/23/2003 23:38:41
    The capital "B" means the bundle attribute is set. You can change attributes using the SetFile command (again, presuming you have Developer Tools installed). You should probably first do a GetInfo on one of the plugins that is in a working install, to determine exactly what the case is supposed to be. Afraid I don't have any plugins in .framework folder form.

  • My imported swf files have lost their streaming sound. What can I do?

    I am trying to import a swf I made that contains streaming sound. When I place it on the time line and press cntr enter my animation plays but with no audio. I see the symbols from the swf and the swf inside my library. When I open the swf file inside my project it is broken down frame by frame with no audio. I can add audio back into my movie clip so I know that movie clips can support streaming audio. But I would rather not have to do this.
    I'm very new to flash so I am hoping there is something big that I am missing.
    In addition to my previous question: I need to embed a lot of objects over and over in this project I am working on. Each object will have controls for play back of itself. Is there some reason I cannot do this?
    Thank you for any advice you may have.

    Thank you for your reply
    Ok. I will need to maintain a libary of movie clips that contain streaming audio and simple scripts. Does anyone know of a good tutorial for importing a file at runtime? I've seen something called shared libary properties and it has a field for a url. I put a swf file on my web site and took it's url and put it into this field but nothing shows in my library. What else do I need to do?

  • Re-imported AAC files have lost all their volume settings

    Hi
    I've recently had to re-import some tracks into my library and I noticed that iTunes has reset the AAC files volume slider back to 'None.' MP3 files have retained their original settings, which was slightly to the right to make the tracks louder. Never had this problem prior to 9.0.2.25.
    Any ideas why its doing this?
    Cheers

  • Folders in Business Area have lost their Owner

    I have several Business Areas that have folders which have lost their ‘Owner’. I need to update the Owner to ‘APPS’ in the business areas where the current owner is NULL. Can someone confirm that the only place I need to update the Owner for Discoverer Folders is ‘eul4_ojbs.obj_ext_owner’. Here is the SQL that I use to search for missing owners for folders from database tables:
    SELECT
    obj_id,
    obj_type,
    notm,
    obj_name,
    obj_ext_owner
    FROM
    eul_us.eul4_objs
    WHERE
    obj_id in (SELECT bol_obj_id
    FROM eul_us.eul4_ba_obj_links
    WHERE bol_ba_id IN
    (SELECT ba_id
    FROM eul_us.eul4_bas
    WHERE ba_name LIKE '%Budget%') )
    AND obj_type = 'SOBJ'
    AND obj_ext_owner IS NULL

    I opened a SR (5389569.992). The short answer to the cause of the problem is the EEX files provided as the Discoverer Upgrade file were all missing the Owner. In all the files that created folders there is an entry, ExternalObjectOwner="". This sets the owner in the folder to "". The fix is to create a script that replaces this string with ExternalObjectOwner="APPS" in all the EEX files in the folder. We had to hire a consultant to find this out.

  • I appear to have lost my itunes icon and program is not listed in control panel

    I appear to have lost my ITunes icon and the program is not listed in the Control Panel under Programs. Nobody in the house has uninstalled it but it appears an update may have come through today which was loaded and now we cant find anything.

    If it is not listed in programs&features it looks as though it has been uninstalled.
    Try looking for the iTunes application in
    C:\Program Files\iTunes for 32 bit windows
    C:\Program Files (x86) for 64 bit applications.
    Is it there?
    If it isn't try downloading iTunes and installing iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Does it install and work normally, or something else?
    If there are any error messages give them in full.

  • Help I have 'lost' my downloads icon from the dock. Can I retrieve it? If so please describe how, using simple terms

    Help I have 'lost' my downloads icon from the dock on my desktop Mac. Can I retrieve it? If so please describe how, using simple terms. I have tried searching folders, finder and trash

    Your Downloads folder should be in your Home folder. Just drag it to the Dock.
    If you've managed to delete it, try creating a new folder called 'Downloads'. You will probably need to nominate it in Safari or any other browser preferences as your download destination. (Safari Preferences>General, 'Save downloaded items to:' menu)

  • I have recently upgraded my iPad 2 to iOS 7 and I have lost 3 app icons.  The apps still appear in settings, so I can't reinstall the app as they're already there.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling via an iTunes sync, but it hasn't helped.

    I have recently upgraded my iPad 2 to iOS 7 and I have lost 3 app icons.  The apps still appear in settings, so I can't reinstall the app as they're already there.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling via an iTunes sync, but it hasn't helped.  The 3 apps are bbc iplayer, itv player and sky go.
    Can anyone help please?

    Have you checked to see if the Apps have been placed in an App folder?
    Try swiping down from the middle of the screen so the search bar appears. Type the name of the App and if the App appears it is indeed on your phone.
    You could also try restarting your device by holding the power and home button until the Apple logo appears.

    The YouTube app is no longer included in the native apps. Apple recommends you visit the website.
    Perhaps google will make another app and make it available in the App Store soon, I miss it too.

    I have gone through the router reset for home network, Router reset at work. Restarted my personal hotspot on my iPhone that is running the same IOS.
    I have performed the Network settings reset on the iPad.
    I have performed a hard reboot on the iPad, (Home button and power button until logo appears)
    Also I had to update the Apple driver on my laptop for iTunes to see my iPad after I had updated iTunes, I'm not sure if I lost wifi after I updated the iPad IOS or updating iTunes.
