Restore original icons?

I had been using Candybar free preview, didn't want to pay the $30, and now, well after the 2 week preview, I cannot restore my original icons. I've tried "command x". What am I missing? I have been pouring thru the FAQ's and I'm fed up. I *will* be upgrading to Mountain Lion, but not just yet, and I'd like to get this issue resolved before the upgrade. I replace some of my icons with snowflakes and I'm just not feeling them anymore. I do know to highlight the app in finder, "command i" which will let you copy and paste, however, I still need the original icons for that.
Please help?

Uninstall Candybar for a start. Go to the site and uninstall it as per the developers instructions. Then when you download and install Mountain Lion, it should correct all your icons.

How can I restore missing icons?

The Skype icon has been replaced with the default paper, pencil, paintbrush icon. It shows this way in the dock and when i search for it in the finder. The program still works normally. If I duplicate the app, the Skype icon shows properly on the dupe version. If I then delete the old one and then rename the copy to "Skype" instead of "Skype copy," then it returns to the missing icon. I Googled this issue and everyone seems to have a different answer. I ran disk permission repair and that did nothing. I'm weary of doing anything with the terminal unless I know for sure it is a fix. Thanks.

Hello killheroes,
So if you duplicate the Skype app the correct icon is seen, but if you rename it back to Skype you lose the icon again?
What happens if you copy the correct icon into the renamed Skype?

Help restoring an icon

I replaced the icon for my hard drive with a picture. Now I would like to restore the original icon. Is there an icon folder on the hard drive?
Thank you

I can't get this to work anymore. I changed the icon once, and now I can't change it at all (trying to select the hard disk icon in the Info box does nothing).
Any hints?

Restore default icons

I recently changed icons for some applications such as iTunes. How do I restore the default icon on that application. (is there a folder with default icons?)

Hi
Don't know if this will work but, have you tried doing a Get Info then clicking on small icon & hitting delete (presuming original icon still in Resources folder)?

Email attachments are changing the original icons to a generic preview icon

When I send or receive an attachment, the original icon such as photoshop is changed to a generic icon called preview which is white with a graphic of a photo and a magnifing loop. How do I stop this?
thank you!

Just getting ready to post this exact issue. Yes, when I drag a multipage pdf it converts it to a thumbnail jpeg of the file.
I thought my clients were on crack, but they aren't. Seems like the preview format (.png) on the new macs is creating the thumbnail but not actually linking the file.
My work around is to zip the file up and send it, but that isn't an optimal scenerio.
please advise.

How do I restore original file naming on an import

Through a process of idiocy and confusion, I've ended up with TWO creation dates on my files, e.g. 20140112-20140112-Johnny at the beach. I tried the step back, step back, step back system, or "undo, undo" but that didn't succeed. I've tried creating a new catalogue to re-import the photos from iPhoto, but I've mislaid the File Renaming Panel that my Lightroom tutor's handout mentions as being on the right-hand side of the screen. I can only see Histogram and Keyword list.
When I try and rename the files individually, I don't get an option to merely remove one of the 201401112 key strings, I get a series of checkboxes.
I know I've done wrong, but I want to undo it and not make it worse. I'm scared that if I restore original settings, I'll delete all of my images - all 1400+ of them!
Anyone who can give a solution gets a lovely cake.

I suggest you stop Re-Naming your images on import and place them in folders by the date they were shot. Lightroom can do that for you on import from card or camera or you can do it yourself manually before you import them into LR. You could also put the Sub-folders by date in a top level folder by year or just in one folder named whatever you like.
Not sure why people Re-Name their images when copying them from the card/camera to their hard drive. To me that makes no sense at all. If I have images that I want to separate from others I will manually re-name them and or assign a keyword or rating to them. You can also have collections of images by subject, location, date or whatever you like and those collections can be from any folder imported into LR.
The only time I would even think about re-naming images on import, and or copying to my hard drive, is if I have 2 identical cameras. Which I have in the past. But even then I changed the file naming in the camera having one cameras files start with 1 and the other start with 2

I have 2 af:panelSplitter with orientation="horizontal" - One with positionedFromEnd="true" one with positionedFromEnd="false". I want to specify the horizontal collapse and restore icon using Skinning. I want specify different icons based on positionedFromEnd. When I specify icons they are appearing for both splitters. I gave 2 different styleClass to these splitter but it is not taking them in account,

It is always showing Left_Open.gif and Left_Close.gif for both splitters. But I want different image.

CSS attribute selectors are what you are talking about, but binding the selector with EL is a more-common approach. Using selectors like this require you to ensure browser support.

Application Folder Icon reverts to original Icon after Restart/Logout...

My custom icon for the applications folder in the Finder window sidebar reverts back to the original icon (pencil, ruler, paintbrush) after I restart/logout. In the "Get Info" pane of the applcation folder it shows the custom icon, but the icon in the sidebar displays the original! I have changed all my other icons in the sidebar and they have retained their custom icons, but Applications is the only one being stubborn.
I have searched the forums, and found an article where it says to log in as root user and then change it, but i did that and the icon still went bact to the original.
If anyone knows how to change it for good please help me.
Thanks.

The icns file you want is here:
"/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/ToolbarAppsFol derIcon.icns"
You'll need to do a Show Package Contents on CoreTypes.bundle to get there. Drag the icns file to your desktop--it will copy rather than move. You'll discover that it is much smaller than normal icons: only 32x32 pixels.
You'll need a program to allow you to create icns files. Iconographer is nice. I believe it has a free trial period.
Create your own icns icon and save it with the same name as the original.
Next you need to use Terminal. You'll rename the original with a mv command, then do a sudo copy of your version into the above Resources folder.
Still want to try?

How to restore original values to an iMacros demo file

Made mistake when I tried to edit one of the demo files for iMacros and would like to restore original demo file

Gday again!
This is a supplementary message to my question concerning the drastic obscuring that happened after I said YES to change of settings.
I checked the Console. log and found this information. It might help me to get answer to my question. Here´s hoping!
The Console.log info is:

Restoring original adjustments of a Mac Book Pro 13 last model

Good morning
I just bought a Mac Book pro 13 (last model) and I tried to use assistant migration to migrate everything from my old Mac Book (OS X LIon and updated), by ethernet connexion by cable, but the operation avorted twice. No interesting solution for the moment from the Apple Care telephone ahelp. They seem as bewildered as me.
I am looking for a solution in my old Mac, but before going in the Old Mac to see what's going wrong (I had done, though, the necessary adjustment, like deactivation of all applications opening automatically, never deactivate hard drive, unlink my computer to Dropbox etc..) I want to restore my new Mac Book Pro with its original features (without any trace of the precedent operation, or user accounts etc..)
SO: Is it better to format hard disk and restore original adjustments (as if I had just open the computer) or to use in Disk utilities the command "Reinstall Mac OS X and its application"?
I should think it is the first solution but I liked an advise from more clever folks than me.
Secondary question:
Could the problem be because my new Mac Pro had been configured in the Apple Store with the same user account than the one on my old Mac (and same Apple ID)?
Or is there other possibilities?
Thanks for your Help. I would'nt like to go the Apple Store and have it done for me, and die an idiot. (french expression)

Doing a Clean re-install of Lion would not hurt as yes the failed MA may have placed certain thing on the system before it finally failed, I wouldn't know about that.
If you chose to do that look into creating a Lion Install USB thumb drive so you never have to download the Lion install files again and so you won't need a internet connection to re-install Lion.
IMHO it really isn't a time eater. IMHO it is the only way to have New computer without all the JUNK you have collected on the old one transfered over. It is the only way I setup a NEW computer. Buy the computer, Windows or Mac, Wipe the drive and reinstall the OS CLEAN. Install the programs I want on the new computer and then copy my personal files over.
Now there will be other opinions on this. Some of the Apple Fan Boys will state that OS X is so great that it never needs cleaning or a reinstall. That has not been my experience over the years of working on other peoples Macs.

Original Icons

Hey everyone.
I need some help. I pasted new Icons on my desktop, and now I can't find the original ones. Can anyone please tell me where they are located.
Thx

The original icons are in various places, mostly in the /System/Library/CoreServices folder in the CoreTypes.Bundle and Finder packages. If you just used copy/paste with the GetInfo window, those changes are local to your account and didn't change the system defaults. You can also just find some other file or folder with the default icon and use that, or go to a website such as InterfaceLIFT.

Audition - Restoring Original

Premiere Pro CC v7.2.1
Win7 Pro 64-bit
In Premiere, you have a clip which was edited via "Edit clip in Adobe Audition".
Premiere never changes the original clip, it creates a separate audio file which Premiere uses.
You later reopen the project in order to restore that clip to the original.
There does not appear to be a "restore original audio" menu item for the clip.
How do you restore the clip audio to the original?
Thanks in advance.

Jim - Before submitting this as a Feature and Bug request to
Feature Request/Bug Report Form
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
Please let me know if the following correctly summarizes the situation.
If it does, I hope you and others will also submit it. Thanks.
In the Premiere Pro CC v7.2.1 timeline, when you edit a clip via "Edit Clip in Adobe Audition",
Premiere never changes the original clip. It creates a separate audio WAV and PKF in the bin.
If you re-edit the clip, Audition creates a new WAV and PKF with "Audio Extracted" appended to the filename.
This leaves multiple WAV and PKF files for the same clip which is annoying.
If you later reopen the project in order to edit the original, there are issues.
In the timeline, if you select the audio part of the clip, the "Edit Original" is grey.
In the Project window, if you select one of the WAV files for the clip in the bin,
the "Edit Original" menu item for the clip does not edit the original - it opens Windows Media Player.
This Is A Bug. In the timeline, one should be able to select the audio, then select "Edit Original", and have it edit the original.
Also, it should delete all the previous multiple WAV and PKF files.
There Is Also A Major Feature Missing. One should be able to "Restore Original".
Specifically, in the timeline, one should be able to select the audio, then select "Restore Original", and have Premiere place the original audio back.
Premiere should also delete all the WAV and PKF files for the clip.
