Normal App Icons Revert to Green Androids When Organized Into Folders and Phone is Restarted!

I took the time to separate all of my apps in easy to use folders organized by their types on one of my desktop screens. It was very nice until I RESTARTED MY PHONE! After the restart, 75% of the apps' icons changed from their native icons to the green android icon. I have deleted them and replaced them with the correct icon by dragging and dropping into the folders several times, but once you restart the phone, they are gone again and go back to the green android icon! HELP!!! I am not moving any applications from micro sd or anything, just restarting.

Folder Orginizer works well for me, it indexes the icon information to allow the device to restart and wont affect icons for apps....

How to organize apps into folders and make them stick in iphone 3gs?

Four hours down the drain! Darn, I decided to finally learn how to organize my apps into folders and do it right. Instead I spent four hours and must have got it wrong.
I opened iTunes on my MacBook with my iPhone attached. Then clicked on the iPhone in the left side list of my iTunes. Then clicked on apps which brought up a nice page with all my iPhone apps listed in one window on the left and all the pages of the apps that are on my iPhone in the window on the right. So far this is what I think the User Manual and Help said to do.
At that point I created new folders by dragging one app over another. For example, I would find a photography app and drag it onto another photography app. That automatically created a folder with the name photography. Just what I wanted. I then looked for more photography apps and dragged them to the folder.
This is not too easy because I had eight pages of apps. At first, I would grab an app on a page and drag it to where I knew the corresponding folder would be and put it into the folder.
Later I found another way was to use the list of my apps on the right to put them in apps.
In the end, from what appeared on the screen, it seemed to me that most of my apps were in folders and the folders were either on page one, two, or three. At that point I thought that I should sync the MacBook with the iPhone, I believe, and did so.
When the sync was finished I took the iPhone off the computer and looked at it. NONE of the folders I created, nor the organization into folders of the apps were on my iPhone!
Obviously, I did something wrong since the same mess was on the iPhone as before, with apps all over the place and impossible to locate without taking too much time. This after four hours of work looking at a 13 in. laptop screen!
What I hope is that someone smarter than me will look at what I did and tell me where I went wrong.
I want the apps on the iPhone to be organized into logical folders so it is easier to find them. Something along the lines of a good database, you know?
Thank you for reading to the end of this question,

OK, I spent another afternoon doing the job started yesterday. Last night (could not sleep, so might as well think) I got to thinking that I really must have missed a step or something because all my work was done on the Mac and I did not recall any time when I transferred the new setup with folders to the iPhone.
Sure enough, when I tried it today I did find that missing step. When looking at the Home Page of the iPhone or any page being worked on, in the lower right hand corner two buttons say
SYNC APPLY
I do not recall using the APPLY button on the first day trying this, but I used it this time.
After making changes, I hit APPLY and the computer began to sync with the iPhone.
This time, although there is nothing telling the user what is going on, the sync actually makes the iPhone pages to look exactly like the pages created on the Mac.
Too bad the instructions and help did not say to do things in this way, which is the only correct way, as far as I can tell.
I have about 155 apps on the iPhone, making the job extra lengthy. However, I never could do it on the iPhone’s tiny screen, even though it is possible, so this was good - working on the larger screen of the MacBook.
There are also some (undocumented?) tricks in using the MacBook for this task. For example, it is possible to create a folder and then, using the list of all apps on the iPhone that is on the left side of screen, open the folder, click on the check box next to any app you want to put in the folder and it will jump right in!
If the check box already has a check mark, just click the box to remove it, click again to put the check mark in the box and voila the app takes off for the folder. This also works to just put apps onto a certain page, if you want to do that, but dragging apps around sometimes works better.
I hope it will not be necessary to do this again because of the time involved, and he need for quite a bit of thinking on how to move the apps and folders around to get everything just where you want it on the iPhone. The work reminded me of an old kids game that has a small square case with, I guess eleven movable numbers, that are all mixed up, and one space that is not filled with a number. You can move the little squares with the numbers around inside the case to try to line the numbers up in order from 1-11 and do it faster than anybody else.
Well, unfortunately lining up all my apps was like that because each page of the iPhone only holds 16 folders or apps and each folder is limited to 12 apps. Starting with 155 apps it takes too much mouse maneuvering to make the process easy.
Finally, the automatic folder names are very broad, as in MUSIC, LIFESTYLE, SPORTS and such, so I often just deleted the given categories and put my in my own. Also, some day I may break down the folders more because twelve apps in one folder means the apps are still pretty much out of view.
I wrote this in case anyone else finds it and has the same irksome product. If I just reinvented the wheel, please do not tell me now.

When I close Firefox and try to restart it, my system thinks it's still running, and I must reboot in order to start Firefox 3.6.11.

When I close Firefox and try to restart it, my system thinks it's still running, and I must reboot in order to start Firefox 3.6.11. I'm running Windows Vista and this is the only program that has this problem. Another symptom is the program does not show up in my recently used programs list nor is it in the task list once I've closed it, though Windows will not open it because it thinks it's still running.

I am also using Windows Vista 64 bit and have the same problem..what i do is instead of rebooting the computer press CTRL ALT and DELETE key. start the task manager and go to the Process tab and look for firefox .exe click on it and hit the end process tab. close that window and firefox should run... and this problem started when i upgraded to firefox 3.6.12
If anyone has a permanent solution please post.

Put iPod Touch icons into folders and organized all my apps. iTunes keeps erasing them.

Hi Everyone
   New iPod touch owner. I arranged my icons into folders for all my apps. But everytime I connect to iTunes it erases all my folders. And moves all my icons around. Anyway to tell iTunes or the iPod to not keep erasing all my folders and not to move all my icons around after I have organized them in the way I want.
   Thanks
Happy Summer

Hello Everyone,
    I finally figured it out. Did not know you had to be connected to iTunes and then you can drag icons around, put them into folders, delete any apps you do not want on your iPod Touch and more from within iTunes.
    When you done doing what you want, then iTunes syncs your changes to your iPod Touch. And your apps, icons, folders, will all be the same on your iPod Touch as they appear in your iTunes Library.
Happy Weekend

Spent an hour organizing my apps into folders and the iPad undid it all!?!?

Hello, I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue? I was very excited to finally be able to organize my apps into folders as I had tons of them and they wretched to navigate. I spent a long time getting them all set and where I wanted them and down to 2 pages total. I plugged the iPad in to charge using a wall charger (the one it came with) and 3 hours later the folders were all gone! I found this to be incredibly frustrating and among the worst experiences I've had with an apple product. My iPhone 4 certainly did not dump all its folders...

There is a secret as to why you are losing your folder arrangements.
They can automatically unpack on a sync.
We should all know there are screens off to the right of the valid eleven home pages. If your last page is full of icons and you inadvertently add another something is shoved off to the right. If you move home screens around using iTunes this also happens.
If any icon filled with apps falls off to the right it will unpack and make a mess. If you move a home page filled with folders which are filled with icons around you can lose them all as they will unpack when you sync to iTunes.
The best choice is to take the right most page and *MAKE SURE NO FOLDERS ARE EVER IN THE RIGHT MOST PAGE*. That gives you safety room from inadvertently scooting one or more folders into higher number screens. I place a few standard apps in the right most page to hold it in place.
*CREATING FOLDERS*
Second you are safer building your folders on the device itself. To do this I move everything off the bottom bar and use it as a placeholder (bus)to shuttle apps around as I figure out what group they should be added to. I have over 800 apps in 22 GB on the iPad now. Things are well organized and nice looking when scanning the home pages.
When setting it up I just added all the apps at once. Then as I made room on the home screens I paused made sure my 'bus' was empty, then shut down the iPad to power off and back on again. This cleans up memory and on reboot the iPad will add as many of the hidden apps to the space on your eleven home pages. There after it became a session of rinse and repeat until all the apps I wanted where filed away and arranged.
Use meaningful folder names.
*Apps from *****
There are some real junk apps that some how I managed to grab in the past. Others are surpassed by obviously more powerful and functional apps that have recently appeared so there is no sense in keeping them. If you delete them off the iPad they will reappear on the next sync unless you delete them from iTunes.
How do you remember to delete them from iTunes too? When I get to the delete confirmation screen I take a screenshot which is stored in my Photos roll. Then I browse that roll while before the computer and find each app that needs to be permanently deleted. After deleting it from the PC I then delete the reminder picture from the iPad.

Error message when logging into imessage and facetime

When I try logging into facetime and imessage on my ipod touch 4th gen, I get the following error message "the user name or password for "my email address" was incorrect. Try again." However I am able to log into apple id online, app store, game center and itunes with the same credentials without any issues. I have previously used facetime and imessage on this device with the same apple id. Does anyone have any solutions or ideas on how to resolve this? Thanks!

Thanks for your tip but i've tried that already and no luck.

Drop shadow on eps shape produces fine line when inserted into InDesign and PDF created.

Hi I am having a few issues with an eps file that I have created. Basically it is a eps file with shapes, a gradient and a drop shadow on the outlined text - created in illustrator.
All looks fine until I take it into Indesign and create a pdf. I then get a line around where the drop shadow is. Zooming in doesn’t make it go away, but it also does not change its size.
I have done some research and tried one fix (have the drop shadow as another object using multiply as the opacity) this did not work.
Anything else talks of spot colours (there are none) or just having view ok on the screen (take off smoothing). But none of these are fixes for when I send this image to my client. I also tried saving as different pdf formats but this also does not work.
The only way I can make it go away is to save the file as an illustrator ai file and use that for pdfs. This would be OK, but other suppliers need to use the file and want eps format.
From what I have read, it seems to be a screen artefact and so theoretically should not appear when printed. But I do not know this for sure and I hesitate to send it to the client as it is.
Has anyone seen this before? And are there any fixes (e.g.: treating the drop shadow differently)?
Thanking you in advance.
Cheers
Nikola

EPS is simply unsuitable when dealing with transparency (which is what your drop shadow is). So you need to work with AI for placing in InDesign. If other suppliers need EPS, then just send them that. Nothing should keep you from exporting another file format.

Printer wont show up when plugged into timecapsule, and backups in pink wont restore?

i recently purchased a TC and my printer wont show up on the network when plugged into the usb port? i also cannot restore anything from backups in pink? any solutions

When you open Print & Fax to add the HP device, are you then clicking on it to highlight it, then clicking Add at the lower right to install the device?
When you do this, you will have the HP device installed in two "locations"....one at the Mac and the other at the TC. When you try to print, you have to be sure to choose the correct location.
The PCs will need to have Bonjour for Windows installed on each device. Run the program, and select the HP device. Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2
Keep in mind that only the print function will work on most All-in-One type devices when connected to the USB port on a router. You need to connect to a computer if you need advanced features like copy, scan, maintentenance, etc.

Completed QT movie changes format when imported into iDVD and DVD Studio

I made a few movies and I simply want them on a DVD. I convert them into QT movies and everything looks great. I filmed both movie using my Canon Vixia M30 in 60i and maximum quality. When I move the files into iDVD, it squishes the actual movie into 4:3 even though the original QT movie is 16:9 and iDVD is set up for 16:9 and the quality is horrible. I check the "Project Info" and my 3.1GB file has shrunk down to a 376MB file. I tried to put the file into DVD Studio and the same thing happened.This has happened with the last two movies I made. I'm really getting frustrated. What am I doing wrong? Help!!

A DVD uses the highly compressed MPEG2 codec. So it is impossible to have it look exactly the same.
Nothing you can do about that, the DVD video specification is strictly set out.
First of all, export from FCP. Self contained with Current Settings (same as the Timeline).
Bring that file into Compressor and apply one of the time based DVD presets that the running time of your video fits into -for example: *DVD 90 mins Best Quality 16:9*. Import the resulting MPEG2 and AC3 files into DVD Studio Pro. You must also tell DVD SP that your film is 16:9.

Why is my app missing the tablet/phone icon in the Windows store when I have linked my phone app to my Windows Store app

I recently updated two apps that I had developed both Windows and Windows phone apps for. They were not originally linked as they were developed before there was a linking process. I updated both the phone apps to have the same in app purchases
as their corresponding Windows app and then linked their app package ids to there corresponding Windows apps as well. However, only one of the two apps I updated now shows the Tablet/Phone icon in the Windows Phone store. I would really like that
icon to appear as I think it will help downloads. I linked the app packages the same on both apps so I don't know why one is showing the icon and the other is not. The updated has been published for over a week so I don't think it's a timing issue.
Please help.

It's just you. And the Caps Lock key on your keyboard is stuck. You should get that fixed.

Thumbnail adresses, and website icons are not being deleted when I clear history and cache, how do I delete these?

I am trying to delete the icons that websites use which are located in the user file of appdata/local/mozilla,
and the website adresses that are located at the bottom of the thumbnails when opening a new tab. clearing data deletes the actual thumbnails, however the adresses are still located below where the thumbnails would be. I have tried clearing history with everything checked, and all history selected to be cleared, and also deleted the cache and cookies. what can I do to delete these things? Thanks

Apps wanting to access my location when not in use (and not giving the option to turn it off)

For most apps, I can choose to share my location 1) not at all; 2) when the app is in use (my favourite); 3) always (even when not in use).
Why do some apps not offer the second option?
For instance, I want to use an app that locates the nearest automatic external defibrillator (if someone has a cardiac arrest) but I can only use the app when I allow the app to access my location all the time. Given the fact that I will use this app perhaps only once every 15 years, I see no point in giving them my location for the next 15 years! That's just a waste of battery power and also a breach of my privacy.
Second example: Apple's own weather app. I check the weather maybe once every month. I do not want the app to locate me all the time. But I can only choose between option 1) and 3) above.
Is there a technical reason apps work like this? Or are they just sneakily trying to get as much information about me as possible?
Thanks for your thoughts.
PS: I am using iphone 6, iOS8.3

everything rudegar said is right on. Still, 10% overnight is more than you would expect - so something is still running. try-
double click the home button, and see what apps are listed as recent. one or more of them might be still churning away. it is a good idea to close those out fully every night. Any of those apps with notifications or location services may be checking in every now and then and using your power.
you mentioned airplane mode is 'off'. this may be a terminolgy thing - but having airplane mode 'off', means that the radios are on. WiFi, and 3 G if you have it. turning airplane mode "on" turns off the radios.
with everything off on mine - (except I leave the wifi on) - i use 2 or 3% overnight.
But if you really want it off - do what rudegar says.

After downloading iOS 6 on my new I phone 5 both the FaceTime and iMessage app icons have disappeared yet if you go into settings they are both still turned on, I have searched my full device to find these apps and nothing has showed up. How do I get them

Basically I have downloaded iOS 6 on my new iPhone and both the FaceTime and iMessage app appeared to have been wiped from the phone but if you look on settings it says they are both turned on. how do I get these features back on my phone?

They could be on another page on your iPhone, try doing a search for the apps. If you still don't see them restart your iPhone by holding down the on/off and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo. If you are still having problems try to reset your home screen.

Why do thumbnail images revert to old image when I delete them and paste a different image?

I press ⌘I to "Get Info" on a file in my finder window and the info window appears. The file is an MKV file for a movie. I dragged an image of a movie poster I got online to the info window so that it would take the place of the default icon (which is just a traffic cone). It worked fine (we'll refer to this image as the "old image"). But now I have changed my mind and would like to use a different image.
So I delete the "old image" (and now the traffic cone is back). Now, I drag a new image to same spot in the info window and now the "old image" comes back. It does this every time.
I even dragged a new image w/ out deleting the "old image" to the same spot in the info window and it didn't work (you can do this in the info window of an iTunes song and it will work).
Any ideas?

Disconnect all devices from the computer then do the following:
Boot up from your Snow Leopard Install DVD while holding down the "c" key.
Select the language you wish to use, and then choose "Disk Utility" from the menu bar.
Your HD should appear in a panel on the left hand side of the window which opens. Select it and then click on the "repair disk" button in the right hand section of the window.
Once this process has been completed restart your computer and repair permissions directly from Disk Utility.
If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair, you will need to use a stronger 3rd party utility like DiskWarrior, Techtool PRO (not Deluxe) or Drive Genius.
Changing your image working now?
