  • .AI Icons disappeared after update to 10.6.6

    Hi,
    My .AI preview Icons disappeared after update to 10.6.6, they do show in Quicklook, but not in the folders. They are now just show the standard AI icons.
    My other Imac's dont have this problem.
    Thanks

    Here comes the/my solution:
    Remove Sophos Antivirus
    Thanks to boojum's remarks in https://discussions.apple.com/message/15480849#15480849 !
    Don't forget to use Sophos' deinstall package: /Macintosh HD/Library/Sophos Anti-Virus/Remove Sophos Anti-Virus.pkg
    Nevertheless, some settings have been re-initialized (no complete list!):
    - Dock
    - Language has been reset to English only
    - Expose & Spaces
    (- probably all personal settings?)

  • Signature icon in Preview has disappeared

    When I upgraded to Mavericks, the Signature icon disappeared from my edit menu in the Preview app.  How do I get it back please?
    Todd

    I figured out the problem.  The signature icon only appears on pdf files, not jpg or other files.  Problem solved.

  • On Mac OS 10.9 with Adobe CC 2014, preview icons not displaying

    We've had increasing problems with icons in Photoshop, ever since CS6. We're now on PS CC 2014 and the latest MAC OS 10.9, and the issue with icons is becoming unbearable! We simply can't find things anymore, and it's starting to really be a problem.
    At first it was just the little tiny preview icon in the title bar that disappeared and just shows a generic icon. But now the finder preview is not showing correctly with PSD files, and TIF files created in Photoshop. We thought it might be an OS issue, so we followed steps to delete the com.apple.preview.plst file and restart. But the problem persists. HOWEVER, if I open one of these files in GIMP, and then save, the icon comes back. Open the same file in PS and the icon disappears again.
    Any idea how to fix this? It's driving us nuts.

    Chris
    Why is it that when I re-save a TIF file in GIMP that I get an image preview, but not with Adobe PS?
    You've been blaming this on Apple since CS6 and over the versions I've grown to really resent your response on this forum.
    Why does GIMP, a free program save thumbnails correctly but the most expensive image editing program cannot?
    I'd at least like an answer to the GIMP question. Why does it work and PS does not?

  • Preview Icons vanishing when dragged into new folder.

    When dragging an image file (with a preview icon showing the small representation of that image) is dragged from it's original folder to a new one, the preview disappears and is replaced with a generic "EPS" or "Jpeg" grey icon. Futher, if I get information about the file, the preview picture of the image also shows just a generic file type icon, even though I can see clearly the preview icon. This is so frustrating, as I must then batch process images in photoshop to have a new preview image show up.
    To make things even more annoying, the process is inconsistent. If I drag the a eps file from the original folder with the image preview into a new folder, the preview may be missing. If I drag and drag, creating multiple copies of the file in a new folder "hnuewf.eps 1, .2, .3 etc...) almost always one of these attempts will copy correctly, with the preview intact. What the heck is going on!

    Partilly solved by rebuilding permissions....

    OPen the folder where this issue is happening, and use the View menu to choose View Options. Make sure the checkbox next to Show icon previews is checked.
    Hope this helps.

  • Home sharing icon disappears on PC and Mac

    In my house, we've been using home sharing between a PC (Windows 7), a Mac (OS X 10.8.2), and two iPad 2s with no issues for several months.  It was working as recently as 23 Dec 12. Now, two days later, it is not working on the PC or the Mac, but it is still working on the iPads.  When we turn home sharing on, the home sharing icon shows in the sidebar, but as soon as we put in the login and password and click "Done," the home sharing icon disappears.  The Mac and PC are linked up, as we can see the shared library in the "Finder" on the Mac, but it is inaccessible from iTunes.
    We've tried all the trouble-shooting we can find online, including disabling the IPv6 on the PC, but still nothing.  Any suggestions  to get this working again would be appreciated!

    How do you access the HD from both Mac and PC?
    I do this but only by network not direct hookup.
    If you are plugging the HD into one or the other I may have a solution for you.
    I have all my photos in folders organized the way I want them.
    Then I set iPhoto to NOT import the files when I add them.
    Preferences > Advanced > make sure the selection of "Importing: Copy items to the iPhoto Library" is not selected.
    That way the photos (files) will stay where you put them and the data in iPhoto will still organize and do it's thing on them.
    And if you modify a photo with say Photoshop the new file seems to automatically update in the preview of iPhoto.
    Works great for me.
    Here is what I have been doing...
    1. When I got my MAC, I copied all of my pictures from my PC onto a portable HD (WD passport).
    2. Then I attached it to the MAC and used iPhoto.
    3. I added new photos only to the passport HD and edited them in iPhoto.
    What I was _planning / hoping_ to do is move those photos back to the PC for use in other applcations. But apparently the editted photos aren't on the HD anyway, but on the MAC (in the iPhoto library.)
    But I understand that using a referenced library is not a great idea.
    (Also, initially I did copy some photos into iPhoto and apparently having a both managed AND a referenced set of files is DOUBLY bad!)
    So what I need to do now is fix whatever I "broke" and get a plan to go forward!

  • Preview icon was gone from dock

    Hi everyone
    I have a problem with Mountain Lion. When I opened a pdf documents with Preview, it worked fine. After I closed the document (without quitting Preview) then I clicked on desktop, the Preview icon was gone from the dock. But when I opened Force quit menu, the Preview app was still on.
    What should I do? It didn't happen before
    Thanks

    Right. This is how Applications are supposed to work. So you want Preview to behave the same, but in your situation it is disappearing from the Dock even though its clearly still running in the background (ie, as is evident when you open the force-quit window)?
    This could be a problem with the Dock's settings, or those for the Preview application itself.
    If you create a new user account for testing purposes (in the Users & Groups system preferences) and log into that account, does the same problem happen when running Preview?

  • On Finder Freeze/Relaunch All my desktop files & icons disappear

    The title sums it up.
    When ever my mac decides to go into spinning wheel mode and I have to force quit/relaunch finder, when I relaunch finder every desktop file & icon disappear.
    At that point I'm forced to push the shutdown button on the tower and reboot, then all is well until the next time.
    And the next time could be a day or a few days or a week. No rhyme or reason why.
    Please help me solve this frustrating problem.
    Thanks

    Cloud backup plans can slow your Mac down, and if used simultaneously with your Mac's networking, or you have an unreliable internet connection, could be the cause of your freezes.  You may be better off seeing if turning off iCloud temporarily helps.   This can especially be a problem with non-Apple routers whose firmware may not be up to date.   Multitasking with backups can lead to corruption of your backups.  Time Machine should only backup to hard drives twice the capacity of the original, otherwise it spends a lot of time trying to discover which archives to eraes to maintain room.  Here are some other options:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1992
    Energy Saver can also create problems for backups, as it takes a moment for the Mac to recognize the connection.  Use screen saver instead of Energy Saver when backing up.  System Preferences lets you control both.   Putting hard drives to sleep when backing up is ill advised.

  • I downloaded IOS6 and all my apps, including the App Store icon, disappeared. If I go to the Passport icon, there is an App Store button, but I have to search through all the apps to find the one I want  and then click on "Open" to use it.  Help!

    I downloaded IOS6 and all of my app icons, including the App Store icon disappeared. Now to use an icon, I have to go to Passport and click on the App Store button at the bottom and search through all of the apps to find the one I want and then click on Open. There doesn't seem to be a way to delete the app and start over.

    Hey PlayerPS,
    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the application you are looking for is indeed still on your iPhone. You can confirm this by searching in the Spotlight Search for this application. It may have accidentally been moved to a folder, or an additional Home screen:

  • Weather icon disappear...

    I have never jailbreak my new iPhone 4, but after I have sent a email out, I jumped back to the home screen, I notice the Weather Icon disappeared. Restart and reboot my phone, but still can't get it back.

  • HT5330 My email crashed and my ICloud icon disappeared from my system preferences and was reverted back to mobileme which of course no longer functions and I can't seem to fix it. Any ideas?

    My email crashed and my ICloud icon disappeared by my system and reverted to mobile me which of course is no longer available. Any ideas on what to do?

    You'll actually need to order a snow leopard DVD first.  Then you can download mountain lion via the app store.  Confirm you meet the requirements:  http://www.apple.com/osx/specs
    If you dont, you might be able to get lion instead.  That's an order over the phone, to get a redemption code.
    And make sure you're actually contacting apple:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    You'll also want to confirm your 3rd party apps are compatible before an OS upgrade.  Of course, you'll also want to backup your data.

  • Preview icon not showing when in thumbnail. (Sketchu

    Hello,
    I recently updated my MBP to Yosemite and installed sketchup on it.
    The preview icon of my sketchup files are not showing when in thumbnail. But as i increase the size of the icon from thumbnail in viewoption i.e from 64px x 64px to 124px x 124px it shows. So my icon is shown as blank without any app logo. Also when i change my view from thumbnail to coverflow or something it shows. Otherthan thumbnail everything works.
    So where is the error in it?
    Please help...
    Thanks
    Amar

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Rest. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
