Preferences Sound Icon has changed...

Hey, the Sound icon on my Preferences pane is different, all of a sudden i have noticed its changed to a strange looking icon, a kind of switch sorta thing, any ideas how to restore it to what it should be?
Many thanks.

Stuart,
Glad to hear that your problem has been resolved. OnyX probably took care of that recalcitrant cache.
Cache, From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia has a good basic explanation.
Macintosh OS X Routine Maintenance, by Randy B. Singer, has some practical explanations regarding the use of Mac OS X cache cleaning utilities.
The X Lab, by Dr. Smoke also has two articles that will explain the use/misuse of cache cleaning utilities:
1. Cache cleaning: Side effects of System cache cleaning
2. Resolving disk, permission, and cache corruption
Cheers.

  • My safari preferences/ security screen has changed and no longer addresses cookies.  There is now a Preferences/Privacy screen that allows one to delete cookies, although it is harder to do than the older security screen.  Was this an update?

    My Safari Preferences/Security screen has changed and no longer addresses cookies. Rather, there is a new Preferences/Privacy screen that allows you to manipulate cookies, but it is not as easy to use as when cookies were on the security screen. Was this an update?  Has this change affected anyone else? This is strange, because  Safari Help still states cookies are manipulated on the Security screen, even though the screen has changed and no longer addresses cookies.

    Presuming you're referring to Safari 5.1, yes, it's moved, but I don't see it as being harder. Now you can clear all privacy-related items - cookies, cache and history - with one button, the "Remove All Website Data" button. If you want to work with individual cookies, it's still just one button, the "Details" button. So no, I don't see it as being more difficult.

  • IPhoto Library icon has changed

    Yesteday, I updated my iMac (Late 2009) to Mountain Lion (10.8.2) and installed the newest version of iPhoto (9.4.1).
    All seemed to be working well until a few hours ago. Things I have noticed:
    1)  The iPhoto Library icon has changed to a pink flower (although the iPhoto application icon and the iPhoto dock icon have stayed at the usual (sun/camera/palm tree).
    2)  iPhoto is taking about 12 seconds to quit (I have about 8,000 photos)
    3)  Keywords is behaving strangely - some photos have keywords attached to them which I haven't put there (some of the time) and sometimes the keyword list (command K) shows up with none of my keywords.
    4) This one might be my imagination but the font used for the folders/albums looks a bit different than it used to.....!
    Hope someone can help!
    Regards

    1 and 4: Nothing unusual there, Apple change these things around from time to time.
    2 and 3:
    Back up.
    Option 1
    Try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. 
    Regards

  • My iPhoto hasn't upgraded at all, just the icon has changed, but the all graphic hasn't changed, whats the problem ?

    My iPhoto hasn't upgraded at all, just the icon has changed, but the all graphic hasn't changed, whats the problem ?

    I'm having the same problem...it says that it upgraded (it says iPhoto 9.5 when I go into 'About iPhoto') and the new features seem to be there (when I click on share, I have the new option of ordering photo's like it shows in the pictures on the site, ordering a photo album, etc), but the main user interface is still the old one. Instead of having the new buttons on the bottom for Events, Faces, etc, I still have all of those on the old toolbar on the lefthand side...so confused haha.

  • Home folder icon has changed ??

    My home folder icon has changed from the house to a folder with an applications symbol on it??? The name is still the same(my name)
    Can I change it back??? And if so this won't effect any programmes etc will it? Have read somewhere that you should never re name the home folder???

    GavRich79,
    You should be able to, get info on your home folder. Click on it then type Command + i, you will see a little icon in the top left click it and press the delete key. Although I am curious to why it has changed?
    No it shouldn't effect your programs, and No you should never rename your home folder. If there are any changes to any of your programs what would happen is they would act like they did the first time you opened them. All customizations would not exist as well as all content you added would be gone.
    Hope that helps,

  • [SOLVED] GNOME + play icon has changed

    After the latest gnome updates (gnome-icon-theme 3.2.1-1), i noticed my play button (in my uber-cool Goggles Music Manager) looked funny. The  play icon (shaped like an arrow) used to always point to the right, it now has changed directions and points to the left instead. You can see for yourself:
    /usr/share/icons/gnome/48x48/actions/media-playback-start.png
    I wonder why and if I'm the only one annoyed by this...
    Edit: Was fixed in gnome-icon-theme-3.2.1.2-1

  • Dv6, Sound Icon has an X, no audio devices installed

    I have a dv6 running on windows 7 and the sound has not been working for me the past couple of days (since Sunday actually). The sound icon is displaying a red X, and its telling me no speakers or headphones are plugged in. I have tried to do everything it seems like.  I went to the volume control options and the “all devices currently playing sound” and “the default communication device” are both checked.  I went to “manage audio devices” and it says no audio devices are installed.  I went to Administrative tools, clicked on services and “audio service” is nowhere to be found. So I tried reinstall the audio driver, to update the audio driver, BIOS update before installing an audio driver and still nothing. Matter of fact, every time I tried to download another audio driver, I received a message saying “_ExitError: Error=Error in installation, Call to GetClassDevs” which I have no clue what that means. I tried also to go to “device manager” to see if something that’s supposed to be checked off, which might not have been checked off, but there was absolutely nothing being displayed in the “device manager.”
    Basically, can someone please help me out? I’d really appreciate it. I’ve read lots of other posts and they’re not helping me so I’m getting a little desperate.

    Wow, sounds like you've done some great troubleshooting with all the things you've tried.
    Perhaps something happened Sunday to mess up your sound.
    Have you thought of a system restore?  From the document, Using Microsoft System Restore:
    System Restore is a software program available in all versions of Windows 7. System Restore automatically creates restore points, a memory of the system files and settings on the computer at a particular point in time. You can also create a restore point yourself. Then, when you use System Restore to restore your computer to a point in time before an issue began, System Restore returns your computer to the files and settings from the restore point. Your personal files and documents are not affected.
    It's just a thought, but it might help.

  • Indesign File Icon has changed to generic looking icon

    I just upgraded to Adobe Indesign CC and now all of my file icons have turned into a white, generic-looking icon.  Can anyone tell me how to get the icon to look like the Indesign icon again?  Thanks in advance.
    David

    I have a similar question.  We installed ID CS6 a few weeks ago, and when looking at files, I could determine which version of ID to open the files in by the different icons for CS4 and CS6.  Overnight, all of my icons have changed to a white box with a purple/pink square with ID in the middle, no matter which version the files were saved in.  Because we have to proofread any documents that move from CS4 to CS6 before using them (and don't have the time to do that with each document), it was very helpful to know which version to open the file in before opening it and finding that it was opened with the wrong version and having to start over again.  We are on Windows 7 PCs.  Any help you could give us would be appreciated.  We still have both versions of ID on our PCs.  Here is a screen shot that might help:

  • Photoshop 7's icon has changed to a document icon

    After installing Tiger on my iBook (and using Software Update to upgrade to the latest version), I am no long able to open Photoshop. The applications icon has been replaced with another application's document icon!
    Specifically, Photoshop's application icon has been replaced by a MacHacha document icon, and "Get Info" claims that it is a MacHacha file. The version line still identifies it as Version 7.0.1, it is a 53 MB file, and I know it is Adobe Photoshop. It is a legal copy, and I am the owner. It just seems like Tiger has replaced the icon. And of course, it's not recognized as an application, so I can't run Photoshop, and I desperately need to!
    I've run Disk Utility on my drive, both from the drive itself and after starting up from my OSX Installation dvd. I've repaired all permissions.I've used Onyx to run all the daily, weekly, and monthly maintenance scripts that OSX uses. I've also deleted all the log files and caches. I tried deleting the whole Adobe Photoshop 7 folder with the application and other files inside, emptying the trash, and reinstalling. The application icons were screwed up again. I did what this posting on the Adobe Forums suggested:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?50@@.3bbbf896
    repairing permissions and running the CRON scripts before and after installing Photoshop. It came up with bad icons again.
    This problem only occurs with Photoshop. All of my other programs run just fine and have no problems.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!
    Ted

    I just had the same problem starting yesterday, even though I don't recall upgrading anything recently. Did you ever resolve this? For what it's worth, I have noticed that Photoshop still opens if you open a photoshop file, just not if you try to open the program from its own icon or from the dock. I'm kinda stumped.

  • Language of some of my icons has changed and I can't seem to reverse it, please help!

    A friend of mine was messing around with my laptop and managed to change the language to what I believe to be Russian.  I changed the language under the 'International' tab back to English, but for some reason some of my icons (e.g. system preferences, software update and language menu) are still written in whatever language this is.  I've fiddled about with the settings in the 'International' tab for hours but with no success and I can't find a solution anywhere.  Please help!

    Did you do logout/login after moving English to the top of the list?
    Also you could try going to system prefs/international/language and using the Edit button to uncheck the box for Russian.

  • Satellite L650 - Cannot start the Office 2010 - icon has changed

    I have a new Satellite L650.
    Using the Office 2010 icon on the desktop and my software code I installed the program.
    Now I can't find it and the changed office icon says only for use for installed programs.
    Where is it? Not in the listed programs.

    Hi mate
    Office is a package which contains several single applications like MS Word, Outlook, etc... so you will not be able to start Office clicking on Office icon.
    If you want to start MS Word for example, then you will need to choose this software.
    Usually you could find this going to Start button -> All Programs -> MS Office.

  • HT1481 My ipod's sound quality has changed and its sound's very low. How should I fix it?

    Dear sir,
              My ipod once got formatted. Now I hear low sound from my ipod.

    First, make sure your headphones are working properly.  You can try them with another device, or try a different set with your shuffle.
    If the headphones are fine, go to the shuffle's Settings or Summary screen in iTunes.  It's the screen that appears when you select the shuffle in iTunes.  There is a Limit maximum volume setting there.  Make sure that slider bar did not get set to a low volume.
    If that does not help, you can try doing a Restore on the shuffle in iTunes.  The Restore button is on the Settings or Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.  If the cause is related to a problem with software or settings, the Restore should fix it.
    If that does not help either, there may be a hardware-related problem on your shuffle.

  • Why has my app icon randomly changed and how do I get it back

    I started up my ipad 4 this morning and one of my icons has changed for no reason. Any idea how this has happened or why but more importantly how do I get it back?
    I've tried restarting and switching it off again to no avail. As it's a corporate app I can't delete and reinstall.
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks
    Thom

    No, there is no way to customize icons in iOS. The only thing I can think of why this might happen is this...
    Corporate developer accounts have the ability to develop and distribute apps outside the app store. This also means the apps do not undergo the same testing process as commercial apps and more importantly, it means that apps developed by enterprise developer do not have to have what is called a unique Bundle Identifier. It's essentially what identifies the app. Usually the bundle identifier is unique and formated as a combination reverse domain plus some details about the app. For example, com.companyname.appname or com.apple.voicememos.
    It's possible the developer decided to use a bundle identifier similar or the same as the app that uses the icon that is appearing on your device. When you update your personal apps, the App Store might have gotten confused.
    It's also possible the developer used a placeholder icon and simply forgot to replace it before you installed the app then fixed it later after someone gave him the proper icon.
    Have your IT group delete and reinstall the app and I suspect you will be ok.
