Playbook system icons lost

In checking the PB documentation about the dock function I moved the 6 icons currently displayed in the top row of the home screen (the "dock"??) into the home screen area below it, thus emptying this area.   When I tried to return the icons to the dock they simply disappeared.  Later I found 6 error messages in the "i" area at the top left of the screen that seemed to be related to each attempt to return the icons to their original positions.  I don't remember the details, but they contained the words "array_index" and "invalid".  This looks like a software bug. I've lost 4 system icons (Browser, DocsToGo, Music, Weather) and 2 other links. Using the file manager applications, I've searched for a possible way to get these icons back without success.  While I can access documents and music through the file manager(s), I've found no way to re-activate the browser.  I assume that it's only the shortcut icons that have been lost (deleted?) and not the actual applications. 
I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to fix this.  I assume it means doing a full backup (30 GB of data), security wipe then reloading the OS, but I'd rather avoid that if at all possible. 

It's counter-intuative but move any icons in the Dock to the vacant Home screen until the Dock is also empty of icons... Now move them back to the Dock. As you do so, they will each disappear and a notification alert icon (excalmation mark on white disc background) about an array error is displayed in the top right of the screen. Ignore this alert and do the same for all the icons in the Home  screen until they have all been similarly "disappeared". Eventually, the Dock and Home screen will be devoid of any icons at all.
Now, restart your PB and you should find all previously missing icons are restored to the Dock and Home screen..
Do report back to this thread !

  • Source system icons changes when connecting SAP BW to mySAP ERP 2004

    Hi,
    Just an Interesting observation in relation to the creation of source systems in SAP BW to SAP Web AS 6.40 based systems (mySAP ERP 2004, mySAP SRM, etc).
    I thought it would be interesting to share!
    The behavior is logical but can be a surprise for a BW administrator who is not aware of the new internal SAP BW systems within mySAP ERP 2004.
    Scenario:
    The customer was connecting a stand-alone BW system to two new systems with latest and greatest mySAP ERP 2004 (ECC 5.00) and mySAP SRM.
    Observation:
    In the past the SAP R/3 source system would be created with a "SAP R/3 icon" indicating a SAP Source system.
    <b>As of mySAP ERP 2004, the source systems will be created in the SAP BW standalone system with the "SAP BW System icon".</b>
    Note: This is also the same behavior for new releases of mySAP SRM, and other SAP applications that are <u>based on SAP Web AS 6.40 or greater</u>
    Why?:
    The standalone SAP BW system is connecting to a system that contains an internal SAP BW system. The standalone SAP BW system determines that it is possible to extract <u>both</u> from the internal BW System <b>and</b> from the Plug-in extractors. It simply denotes that this source system is a SAP BW system and uses the BW Source system icon. (Remember SAP BW is client independent*!).
    Note: This behavior will still occur even if you do not use the internal SAP BW system within mySAP ERP! It is there whether you use it or not.
    Second Note: You can still use the ERP Content extractors from the mySAP ERP Source System as you did in prior releases.
    Another related observation:
    I would expect that this case will probably be true even if you only use the internal SAP BW.
    Scenario: You use the internal SAP BW in another client in the mySAP ERP system than your ERP processing.
    Result: The connection between the BW client and the ERP client source system(s) (i.e. client 001 for ERP, client 100 for BW), both the 'myself' and ERP client source systems, will show up as BW source systems!
    Source system 001 and source system 100 will be displayed as SAP BW icons because SAP BW is client independent*
    user master and authorizations are client dependent
    I hope this was interesting.
    Cheers,
    Mike.

  • Change System Icons (How to...)

    I use Leo's Icon Archive a lot and I found a nice set to update my OSX with, but I don't know how.
    the Blend icon set is this one and all icons come as ICNS file extension, if I copy and replace the icon of my Hard drive using copy paste in the Get Info widown I get this:
    just a ICNS file icon instead the actual content of the file.
    Can anyone help me on how to change the system icons?
    Thank you in advanced.

    that worked fine
    but it should be a place to change all the icons, instead one by one, to make them the default icons of the system instead of the original ones, just like there is under Microsoft Windows.
    ohh well, at least I can spend a while changing my icons to this Blend set.
    Thanks joshz

    Hello 6underwood,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Troubleshooting car stereo connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3581
    If you are experiencing difficulties with the connection between your stereo and device, disconnect the device, and then power cycle the stereo and your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. When the Home screen reappears, reconnect your device. If you cannot power cycle the stereo, turn the car off and then back on to allow the stereo to power off.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • System icons displayed twice (double) in the menu bar

    Since I upgraded my MacBook Air (mid 2011) to Mountain Lion I noticed that my system icons were very often displayed double:
    I don't know if AirPlay is the only cause but it's a fact that after rebooting my machine with the AirPlay option activated my system icons appearing as here above.
    I wondering if I'm the only one to have this issue !?!

    if you drag and drop the duplicates to remove them do they come back upon reboot?

  • HT5137 i tried using the setting icon to reset the prints and icon to a bigger size, thereafter the setting icon lost colore to gray and stopped responding

    i tried using the setting icon to reset the prints and icon to a bigger size, thereafter the setting icon lost color to gray and stopped responding.? most of the pop up boxes will also not respond why?

    Thanks Winston, restarting my router worked for me too. Seems that somehow the DCHP (maybe due to the Mountain Lion upgrade?) had assigned the same IP address to both the AppleTV and my iMac. The AppleTV stopped appearing as an AirPlay device for my iPhone and Mac, but still the AppleTV had Internet access.
    Restarting the router reassigned IPs and without fanfare, the AppleTV is now available to AirPlay.

  • Damaged system icons, how do I restore them?

    I recently bought a new MacBook Pro Retina display and have been installing applications and copying over old files to start with a fresh system. I think I may have tweaked the default system icons because they look a little wierd:
    I have been playing around with Onyx, TinkerTool, and Default Folder X. I'm not sure if they had anything to do with the wierd icons or not. Everything was fine for a few days. Affected icons are in default Apple apps and 3rd party apps. Not every icon is messed up, but many are.
    I'm trying to restore them, but haven't had any luck yet. Has anyone seen this before and do you have a solution?
    Mark O.

    I made a couple of attempts to reinstall Lion. These attempts were done by restarting and holding command-r during boot up. Not wanting to lose the information I had already added to my computer I did a restore from a time machine backup I made. Apparently this didn't touch Lion, it just re-installed my information and settings. The icon problem persisted.
    On a second attempt I decided I would try to do a clean install of Lion and figure out how to get my infomation back later. After the restart and holding command-r again my mac went into internet recovery mode. It downloaded some 4GB of data from Apple, but I'm not sure what that did. I think it downloaded OS X Lion. It then re-installed the OS. I was surprised when it came back to the login screen - it seemed that nothing had changed. Upon logging in I found that my information was still there, but the icon issue was fixed. I don't know if it installed Lion without disturbing my stuff, or if it did a clean install and then restored my info from the time machine backup. It didn't take more than an hour, hour and a half.
    In any case, all is well now. I still don't know what messed up my icons, but at least it can be fixed without too much trouble. I'm glad I'm on a mac. This would have caused headaches on Windows since it lacks native backup and restore features.

  • Changing System Icons

    In reference to:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/icons_screensavers/margin.html
    It states that the only requirements are either 10.4 or 10.5. I was under the impression that you need a 3rd party app to change the system icons. Is there a way to do it without an extra app?

    It IS possible to change those icons by hand but it's not exactly pleasant.
    Personally I would recommend a 3rd party app like [Candybar|http://www.panic.com/candybar>.
    Most system icons live in /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle.
    Right click on it and choose "show package contens". navigate to Contents/Resources
    That's the folder for most system icons. You can replace them by yours if you really want to do it by hand. I would back up the entire Contents/Resources folder before doing that.

    Did you erase your hard drive before upgrading? If you have the install disks, you can just reinstall. Unless you have recently purchased your Mac and do not have the older versions installed, the new versions at the app store have to be purchased.

  • System icons('docklets'?) Not showing anymore in top right corner.

    Hi, this is my first time here, so I'm really sorry if this belongs somewhere else.
    I got my first mac about 2 months ago and it has been running fine until abouta week ago the system icons stopped showing up in the top right hand corner. I can still see himmelbar and my printer icon there, but the Bluetooth, airport, time, spotlight, and fast user switching are all gone on all accounts.
    Around the same time I have encountered that the system is sygnificantly less stable than it was before. I can consistantly crash the system prefrences by clicking on the mouse and keyboard settings, and there are other little things that cause programs to crash now.
    I have tried repairing permisions already, and I have checked the disk for errors. Everything is fine in those two areas and I am truely at a loss to understand what is causing this.
    If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. I'd rather not re-install OSX but I will if I have to.
    Thank you very much,
    Jacob Wilson

    They change colors when the background bar changes to enhance readability.
    If you go to Settings > General > Accessibility and turn White on Black ON, the symbols will be black on a white bar for the home and some app screens and orange and purple on a black bar for other screens.
