PS Icon changed

I just realized my PS (CS4) icon in my doc and in my PS app folder is gone. It has been replaced by the generic OSX icon of the paper, ruler and pen in the A shape. It was there in the last day or two when I last opened PS. If I click on the icon, PS opens and runs. I don't remember any major PS upgrades in the last couple of days. All my other Adobe icons are fine. Anyone know what's up or how to fix this?

>I've run Disc Doctor
As in Norton's Disk Doctor??? Very, very bad idea,
Norton is NASTY stuff in OS X. Stay away from anything with the Norton name if you're on any version of OS X, especially do NOT let anything with the Norton name (like Norton Anti Virus, File Saver) ever reside on your computer.
NAV (Norton Anti Virus) can lead to permanent file damage. Files damaged by NAV are not recoverable. NAV can also prevent many PostScript files from parsing, even if not damaged permanently.
Disk Doctor
and Speed Disk are known to cause the kind of directory damage that can lead to kernel panics.
http://www.macmaps.com/kernelpanic.html
Another excellent reason to steer clear from all things Norton!
The kernel panic FAQ is divided by the order of most common occurrences of kernel panics:
# Directory
# Drivers
# Permissions
# RAM
1. A directory failure or user accidentally moving .kext files that should be left alone. The directory may fail, due to an accident caused by Norton Utilities or Systemworks, which may at random corrupt a directory even when trying to repair it. Norton Anti-Virus will not do this, but
Norton Disk Doctor
and Norton Speed Disk have a history of doing this.

Desktop Icons Change

After I download Adobe Reader all the icons change to Adobe symbols and I can not open them.

What is your operating system & version?
If it is Windows 7 or Vista, see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/application-file-icons-change-acroba t.html

Q10 - I tap the screen to select, the icon changes color (indicating selection) but nothing happens...

I notice an issue that predominantly happens when I use my thumbs to tap but does happen with fingers from time to time.
When I select an icon (say, for instance the lower-right corner icon to jump into camera settings), the icon changes color slightly when my thumb touches the glass, and then when I remove my thumb, nothing happens.
Sometimes this happens more than 5 times in a row. It's one thing if the screen never recognized my finger/thumb in the first place. It is a bit more madening when I KNOW that there was recognition (icon changing color) and yet nothing happens..
Anyone else having this problem? Is there some way to recalibrate the screen?
Right after I posted this message I tried that camera setting button - 7 tries before anything happened with my right thumb, one try with right index finger, then again it took 5 tries with index finger. The frustrating thing is that the icon to load the camera in the first place (lower right corner)... that one almost always works with the first tap...

Why do document icons change

During login, document icons display as the familiar icon we've become accustomed to, but when login completes, the icons change to a rather drab, generic-looking thing. For example Word documents, which used to show as the familiar blue Word document icon, are now plain white with 'DOC' at the bottom. How can I get the original icons to display?
Thanks.

Hi Mike:
I might be telling you to chase rainbows.
I am running OS X 10.6, so there may be a disconnect.
However, when I open my document folder, the folders are blue, but individual documents are a white icon with something like doc at the bottom. I consider this "normal," but we may be talking about different things...

Macbook Pros display blinks to blue, icons change size, resolution changes and cant reset. Anyone else have this and have a definitive idea of the cause? End up running diagnostics and resetting PRAM and SMC to resolve but why? Thanks.

We have had several (7-10 recently) macbook Pros start this issue. The screen will jump from regular to blue, the background image will go away and it will be replaced with a blue screen, the icons change size and the screen resolution changes. Someimtes the users name field on the login screen will fly in from off screen... run diagnostics (AppleJack, Disk Util) and reset PRAM and SMC and sometimes this helps but wanted to know if there was a definite reason for this or a better resolution to the problem?
Thanks all
Macbook Pros are all newer (some only a month old) Unibody models running Snow Leopard and Lion

AppleJack has been discontinued, so you should uninstall that.
I'm suspecting something in software across all machine or a security breach as the primary cause of your problems.
Wipe and install everything fresh, firmware update the router, change passwords, new software form original sources, etc.
This might assist.

Batch process icon changes

Is there a way to change icons changes in a Finder window for several items at a time.
By choosing Get Info from the File menu I can only change one icon, and then repete the process for the next one.
Photoscene
PowerBook G4 17 inch, PowerBook G4 12 inch Mac OS X (10.4.6) Tiger/Panther

There is a plugin that lets you batch process Finder icons, FinderIconCM.

Icons change from desktop to HD

Hello everyone.
I just got started in 10.6 and I notice that icons of documents such as PDFs and TextEdit documents look different on the desktop but change to their familiar look when moved to the hard drive. Is this normal on Snow Leopard or is something not right with my system?
Thanks for any comments.
Rich

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I investigated the situation and decided that leaving the icon preview mode on would be an asset without hurting anything. It was just strange to see the icons change when transferred from the desktop to the Home HD.
Thanks again.

Desktop icons change size when I move the cursor

Intermittently, when I move the cursor with my trackpad, the desktop icons change size—minimize going from 44 to 16 icon size. This happens with the Finder in the foreground or background.
I think there's a fix, but I cannot find it.
All help appreciated,
Bill

Press Command-Option-8. Someone apparently turned on Zoom. (See System Preferences > Universal Access and click the Options button next to Zoom for more information.)

Desktop Icons Change Positions After Restart

Hi,
After I inadvertently synced my computer with another Mac computer my icons change position after restart. I was trying to sync another computer to mine.
I have tried the usual suggestions of taking out com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.desktop.plist and letting the system create these new files but the problem still persists. I also checked the Finder > View > Show View Options and arrange by none is still selected.
Does anyone have a suggestion how I can fix this problem? Will I have to go back in time with Time Machine and restore my entire system to solve this?
I can't operate with the desktop icons changing positions like this.
Thanks,
Pacecom

Delete the hidden .DS_Store file associated with your Desktop folder. Launch the Terminal.app (in /Applications/Utilities/), copy & paste the following command into the window that pops up, hit the return key, quit the Terminal.app, OPTION-click and hold the Dock's Finder icon, and select Relaunch:
*rm ~/Desktop/".DS_Store"*
Now, set the Desktop as desired, log out and back in, and the Desktop should be as it was as you last set it.

Desktop icons change during startup

When I start my MBP, I've noticed some of the icons on the desktop (say a spreadsheet) have a nice looking, easily recognizable image, but as the menu bar loads, some of the icons change, to a something different and usually lose their color, going to back and white.
Any ideas what's going on?
Regards,
Jp

HI James,
Not certain what could cause that but try booting from your install disk and run Disk Utility.
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
And run the Apple Hardware Test also. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2684

T42 DVD/CDRW Combo drive not reading CDs. System Folder Icon changes. XP Pro SP2.

Device manager shows correctly 'Ma**bleep**a UJDA755zDVD/CDRW'.
System Folder icon shows 'DVD/CD-RW Drive (D'
If I insert a CD, the System Folder icon changes to 'CD-ROM' and displays 'Please insert a disk into drive D:'
If I insert a DVD, the System Folder icon changes to 'DVD-ROM' and displays 'Please insert a disk into drive D:'
Am able to burn a CD, but as shown above cannot read. Disabling the drive in device manager, rebooting and re-enabling will make drive read once, rebooting again and it cannot read.
Using RegEdit to remove LowerLimit and UpperLimit does not help.
Have updated drive to latest firmware and run (to no avail) Microsoft AutoRun fix.
Drive works flawlessly under Ubuntu 8.04.1, seems to be an XPP registry issue, but where?
Lost at this point, would appreciate any pointers...

I am having the exact same issue with a brand new T400. When I insert a CD or DVD into the drive, no spin up occurs. When I double click on the DVD-ROM/CD drive in My Computer, Windows tells me to insert a disc.
I've disabled the Automatic Power Savings for the optical drive. I've also installed the latest firmware and made the regedit changes suggested by Microsoft (UpperFilter/LowerFilter).
I can't determine whether this is a software bug or hardware failure. Does anyone have any insight?

Networklocation corrupt icon change to white paper

I've been through much the same sort of pain as you describe - I tried using shortcuts on the users' desktop for them to access SharePoint via WebDAV but these fail to connect regularly unless the user has logged on through the browser. I followed all of
the instructions in KB 2616712 without resolving the problem. I raised a Service Request and the answer I received was:
=====================
• Issue Description:
• Problems accessing mapped SharePoint folders via WebDAV
• Issue Resolution:
• This is a By-design behavior since SharePoint online in office 365 uses forms based authentication & the user is authenticated using SAML token as against BPOS where windows authentication method was used.
• This SAML token expires every 2 hours & after that the mapped drive for SharePoint library cant access the resources unless the user signs in to the site again from the browser.
• At this point we don't have a possible solution to this however this issue is in the knowledge of our Operations team & they are working towards a solution. We don't have ETA for the same though.
• You can develop a custom application that would authenticate the user against sharepoint site without having him to open the browser & sign in. The following article may be of help in doing so.

Folder icon changes to envelopes

Twice in the last week the icons in Workflow have changed from the folder icon to envelopes and our users have not been able to open any Workflow items. Any idea what is causing this? I have had to restart the services on our Workflow server. Then the icons change back from envelopes to folders and all is OK. I would like to prevent this from happening again in the future if possible.
Thanks.
Mary

TM Disk icon changed from blue to yellow

I have an external USB Hitachi 1TB drive with 2 partitions - one for time machine and the other for weekly SuperDuper backups. I use TimeMachineEditor to limit backups to once every 8 hours. The system has worked well for over a year and I can access all my backups without any (apparent) problems.
Yesterday the TM partition icon changed color from blue to the generic yellow. Should I be concerned? Should I run DiskWarrior or try other maintenance on the partition?

If the drive has been disconnected or shut off this may happen when TM reconnects. It continues to use the device for backup, however. If no backup is underway when the drive is reconnected then the icon should change once TM starts to do a backup. I've had this happen any number of times on my system. Sometimes the TM drive's icon never changes unless I turn off TM then turn it back on and reselect the backup drive. I wouldn't worry about it.

Icons change after startup

After starting up the icons on my desktop, for example a Acrobat Professional .pdf, just looks great but then changes just before finishing startup into a 'normal' icon with just some text as icon.
Does anyone know how icons can be viewed as defined by the program (such as Adobe)?

Sorry, didn't mean to confuse you.
After the login window, the mac starts up and then shows the desktop. The .pdf, docx and xlsx icons on this desktop (so I saved them there once) are first shown as application icons (kind of nice icon with colors). Then during the startup of the Login Items (in my case Mail, iCal and Activity Monitor) the icons change to a regular graphic design which looks like ugly text-icons.
(I think that on the startup of the Login Items the mac is not finished its regular startup so I don't know if these login items have something to do with it. Guess not.)
