No thumbnail/icons for personal pictures in the finder..

So, I bought an iMac recently and I'm really liking it - but one irritating issue. On my personal pictures (not default pictures like the iChat icons in the same folder, pictures I've saved onto there) in the Pictures folder in the Finder, the pictures aren't a thumbnail/icon - they're just a white sheet of paper and to view them I have to double click on them. The finder is in icon view and show icon preview is checked. I have found a way to solve it - by changing the file extension to .jpg, but I don't really want to do this every time. Is this only doing this because by default I saved these pictures as preview documents? Do I need to save them as "All Files" (the only other option under Save As)?
By the way, is there a setting to not make file extensions visible (like in Windows), I like my files straight and to the point, not all that .jpg and .gif stuff. I read there is a setting to hide extensions for individual files, but is there not a master setting that just hides them altogether?

    Check all of your folders to see if FaceTime is in any of them.
    If not, check your restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) and if restrictions are on, and you know the passcode, then FaceTime might be turned off. Turn ON to veiw icon on home screen.
    Let me know if this does/doesnt work.

  • Icons for Personal Settings

    I have noted that some have icons that are not on the selection of icons offered by myFICO.  How does one add an icon to the settings that is from their own pictures?

    bevrit, welcome to the forum,
    your userinit.exe in the registry has probably been damaged. Trying what vijaysaradi suggests is one possible method.
    Here's a tipp from Microsoft that is certainly more involving, but should hopefully help KB307545. (You'll need to scroll down the page to where it says; " Manual steps to recover a corrupted registry that prevents XP from starting").
    Let us know how you get on as there are also methods using a BartPE disc if you have one.

  • Using Applescript for uploading pictures on the Internet

    Hello!
    I was wondering if there was a way to use Applescript with Firefox (or another browser)...?
    We have many many villas on our website, each one with lots of pictures. We are constantly adding new villas to our site and amending old ones.
    To add pictures we go to a page in our cms for each villa, located there is a drop down menu - image 1, image 2, 3 etc etc etc
    For each one we have to manually browse for and attach the photo. As you can guess this is a time consuming process, we have asked the web designer before for this but he is so busy and we have other more important stuff for him to be working on.
    As Applescript is so nifty I was wondering if anybody had an idea on how to use it for this process - i.e. have a folder full of pictures on the desktop and Applescript can add them?
    I have no idea if this is possible, any ideas?
    Many thanks and regards.
    Simon

    Yeah I completely understand, I just wanted to see if anybody knew if it could be done.
    Obviously for security reasons I can't let anybody into our CMS, so looks like it's a bit of an impossible task.
    Although it would be awesome to simply change the script slightly for each villa and let it do it all, this would be stupidly complicated as there are many menus to navigate to get to the uploading picture area.
    It would be great if I could do all that manually then once on that page (or given the page url to Applescript) set Applescript running to upload all the images for me.
    This is what that page looks like, if this helps?!:
    http://img535.imageshack.us/img535/241/screenshot20100415at141.png
    The drop down menu contains:
    Villa Plan
    Small Location Map
    Image Gallery 1
    Image Gallery 2
    etc
    etc
    I could arrange a folder with the pictures in order (i.e. Villa Plan first, then Small location Map, then the picture for 1 etc) so no worries about the Villa Plan and location map.
    I've got a feeling I'm just going to have to do it manually (I shall forever be uploading pictures), but I thought I would give it to some of you geniuses to mull over!
    For whoever creates a script I'll give you a discounted stay in Paradise... there's an incentive!!
    Many thanks and regards,
    Simon

  • Is it possible to make an icon for a movie on the home screen?

    Is there a way to make a direct icon for movie instead of going into the "Videos" icon? 

    If there is a website that plays your movie, then you can go to safari, type the website in, open the page, then tap the share arrow, then tap add to home screen. Thats as close to it that you can get.

  • How to change the icon for a shortcut on the desktop

    I created a shortcut on the Desktop (dragging a safari url-icon to the desktop) but the icon showing is a safari icon.
    The website has a specific icon, as displayed as the first item (icon) on the url bar in front of the website-URL.
    I located the specific icon on the website (favicon.ico), opened it and copied the icon (copy paste).
    Then I opened the properties screen for my shortcut (at the Desktop) (control click on link) .
    Now I am supposed to copy the new icon (from my Clipboard)  into the properties of the Desktop URL, but how do I do that?

    You can change the favicon for a folder but not  a specific Safari url.
    Click a clear space on your desktop then go to the Finder menu and click File > New Folder
    Move Safari url shortcuts to that folder.
    Then copy and paste the icon for the folder.

  • How to make icon for a tile use the full tile square?

    So when I click on the start button on the lower left, a icon doesn't take up the entire tile for one of the tiles that I created. Here's a screenshot showing you what I mean: http://i.gyazo.com/fa2e73b5ab245c81c6f07229c8ecdc2e.png
     

    Hi KnyTonic0,
    If you want to resize the title, you may try to right click on the title and select Resize. (Reference:
    Start screen)
    Further, if you would like to customize the title for Desktop Apps, you may take a look at the following MSDN article:
    How to customize Start screen tiles for desktop apps (Windows Runtime apps)
    Or you may try to ask at the developer side:

  • How can I add an icon for a contact to the home screen?

    New to iPhone and can't find a way to add a shortcut/icon for an individual contact to the home screen. I have looked in the user's guide and searched the web but no luck other than suggestions to download some type of app. This function has been available on two different Android phones I've used the past several years. Surely the iPhone has this capability???

    That is not a standard feature on the iPhone. There are many features available on one and not the other.

    Error while saving a .PDF File to a mapped drive
    "It has to do with Protected Mode being turned on.  I don't know if it was off by default & now it is on with the update but turning it off changes Adobe Reader's behavior back to what the users expect - a prompt warning you if you want to overwrite the existing file & then selecting Yes to overwrite.
    To disable Protected Mode:
    Start Adobe Reader

    I am running Mac OSx Lion 10.7.2.
    My issue is that I am not able to run a search in the finder toolabar on a network server. No files show up nor does it search on the server anymore. I was able to run the search in snow-leopard and am no longer able to do so with Lion. Is there a preference I can change or some kind of app or program I can download that will help me with this issue? This is extremely problematic for me as I am searching for files all day everyday. Thank you!

    Hello,
    It isn't the fw in Network you want o use or look at, that's for something completely different.
    My first suspect is the Power Adapter on the LaCie has gone.
    At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware>Firewire, what is listed there?
    Reset the Firewire bus
    If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device.  A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible in 10.4 was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:
    1. Shut the machine down.
    2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive or devices.
    3. leave it for 10 minutes.
    4. Connect back up and reboot.
