TM icon reverts to regular HD icon after drive disconnected/reconnected

This is a nit-pick, but...
I have an external drive connected to a laptop. I took the laptop with me for the morning (which obviously required disconnecting the HD). When I came back and reconnected everything, Time Machine properly began backing up to the drive, but the icon in the Finder Sidebar has reverted to a standard Hard Disk icon instead of the green Time Machine one.
Its not a big deal because Time Machine still works just fine and properly captured all the changes that took place while I was away with my laptop. It just sort of bugs me that the icon has changed.

Well, I found a "fix" if you can call it that.
I simply went to Force Quit and relaunched the Finder.
What tipped me off that this might work is that I noticed that application Save dialogs were showing the green icon. It seemed logical to try "reseting" the finder and sure enough it worked. Odd that rebooting didn't do it in the first place.

  • HT4623 Updated iPad and not can't delete old icons after use

    Since I updated the software I can no longer delete the old icon after when I finish using them

    Sure, but its the best you learn how to use the terminal. OS X is Unix and the most advanced tasks can't be done in the graphical enviroment:
    1. Open Terminal (You should startet in your "home" directory, this is the default)
    2. Type: mdls /Applications/iTunes.app (This will output a lot of information)
    3. Look for the last keyword "kMDItemVersion", it should show the program version (e.g. "10.7")
    4. From now on what to do depends on the position of the iTunes version you want to delete. If this is the most recent version you will leave this file alone. If this is an older version of iTunes you will want to delete it. So there is a decision to make.
    4a. Leave this file
    or
    4b. Delete this file with: rm -r /Applications/iTunes.app (maybe the permissions don't allow this to do, I could not test it)
    5. After that you could use the finder to move your regular iTunes version to your desired position
    6. If you most recent version is in an other directory, e.g. /Applications/Music/iTunes.app, you have to do the steps above with this path
    It makes sense to locate first the iTunes version you want to delete. You can get this information with the showed mdls command or with the information dialog of Finder. Click in Finder the particular iTunes icon once, so it is selected, show the information dialog (cmd+i).

    Hi,
    So switch a LAN card fix this issue...seems a compatibility issue or maybe some packs or programs you installed recently cause this issue.
    Have you manually check the network adapter driver from the PC's manufacture website? sometimes, it will be a time delay before Microsoft push out the driver update.
    Check if issue exists in safemode with network, this mode will launch Windows with limited sets of files and drivers. 
    if you have a restore point, restore the pc to a previous point at which the pc is functioning fine.

  • IPad running iOS 5 has on the menu bar only have 4 icons, being: back, forward, bookmarks, and the "add to bookmarks", but is missing an icon after the "add to bookmarks" arrow, that is a "show all open browser windows" icon. How do I get it in my safari?

    What you are seeing is how Safari works now in iOS 5. There is no way to get that icon in Safari now. There other much better browsers available in the App Store. Look at iCab Mobile, Mercury, Atomic, ....
    I have been running iOS 5x for so long now, that I don't even remember if that icon did appear in earlier iOS versions

  • I have a big crossbar mark over my FF4 icon after I've installed and replaced FF3. When I try to open the software, I get "You can't open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture." What's up with that?

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
    If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

    Apple's U/I target demo lately has been women. Sad fact, but already proven by several design study articles and business analytics that look at which market share demographic was growing fastest when it parsed through Apple's sales.

    It's sad that women are a target demographic? Why?
    As part of that demographic, I can't say that I get the feeling that Apple is trying to appeal to me. It seems to me that they are assuming that ALL of their users are fairly clueless, not just the female users.
    I hardly think the interface changes are due to a desire to market to women. They certainly aren't impressing me, whatever the intent. I don't hate the look of Yosemite, but I don't like it, either. The translucency is a bizarre touch, pointless in terms of function and at odds with the generally joyless flat aesthetic.

  • Firefox creates a new dock icon after an add on updates

    Often, after I update an add on, Firefox creates a new, temporary icon in my dock. The old icon is still in the dock and clickable to reopen Firefox, but once Firefox opens, the temporary icon reappears unless I replace it with the new icon after every update.
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == I think about a year ago, but only after an add on updates and I don't know if it happens with all updates or not.

    can't believe that i was the only person to have the problem, but no replies whatsoever suggest i was. have now upgraded to 5.0 where the problem has not yet reoccurred.

  • Blank webloc icons after updating to 10.8.3

    Has anyone else have their webloc icons turn to white instead of the @ icon after the latest update? I have a lot of urls dragged to my desktop that are now white icons. I checked my old ones that I have in folders and they turned white also.

    YES!!! EXACTLY THE SAME!!   I started a post and mentioned it in another--- then I found yours by googling --- this is really amazing!  I have a bunch of other Finder Window issues, and thought this was maybe just me but I've had others say it is EVERYONE--
    They still seem to function but I sure am glad my other icons have retained their "logo"--- imagine if they all disappeared!  I really enjoy using Icon mode in the Finder----
    If you find out more, please post.
    Thanks.

  • Tried to up date, now I can't download a new firefox. I get the stop symbole on the icon after downloading

    I am running MAC 10.5.8, and I was asked to up-date my Firefox and I tried. I would get the international symbol for not working on the icon after downloading. I up-dated my computer software, and I cannot up-date or even install a new Firefox.

    Is the address on your account based in France ? The language of the stores should reflect the language of the country where your account is based, which isn't necessarily the same language as you've set on the device.
    If your account isn't based in a French spealing country, then try logging out of the account (via Settings > Store) and then log back in (and also make sure that your address is correct and complete), and see if the language of the iTunes and App Store the reflect the language of the country where your account is based.

  • Every link on Wikipedia has an icon after it

    I just got a new computer (Dell XPS15 running Windows 7). After installing Firefox 8, I've noticed that every single link on Wikipedia now has an icon after it. It's the icon that only USED to appear after links off-site, but now it appears after every link. It does not appear to happen on any other page. Is this a computer problem, a Firefox problem, or a Wikipedia problem?

    A number after a link refers to a footnote.
    A box with an arrow refers to an external (not at Wikipedia).
    There are styles that you can install that will provide more of a breakdown links and if they are PDF files etc. Some examples of such styles:
    * [http://userstyles.org/styles/2421/show-url-types Show URL Types - userstyles.org]
    * [http://userstyles.org/styles/2538/link-warning-cursor-hover-various-filetypes Link warning (cursor hover) - various filetypes - userstyles.org]
    * [http://userstyles.org/styles/292/visited-links-png-image-based-on-marcanth-s Visited Links PNG Image (based on marcanth's) - userstyles.org]
    * [http://userstyles.org/styles/2538/link-warning-cursor-hover-various-filetypes Link warning (cursor hover) - various filetypes - userstyles.org]
    * [http://userstyles.org/styles/1301/link-warning Link Warning - Themes and Skins for Mozilla - userstyles.org]
    You can test that quickly by if done with a style enabled with the "Stylish" extension by simply disabling Stylish at its toolbar icon or in the extensions options -- no need to actually disable the stye itself such that you have to take Firefox down.
    It is possible that you have a theme doing that try
    :View ("At+V") > Page Style > Basic Style (as opposed to a named theme)

  • There is no skype icon after i go onto application...

    i downloaded skype on my macbook pro. after i did it told me to move my cursor to the applications icon and double click on it. after i did, i was unsure on what to do. it doesnt show a skype icon to go on and login and start using it. it had nothing related to skype infact, just some downloads and things. it shows on a skype help website that there should be a skype icon after you go on application, but not for me. as i said just random and typical things.
    if you could help out that would be great.

    The padlock is no longer part of Firefox; it was removed beginning in Firefox 4. The padlock shows that there is a secure connection but does not supply additional information. You could have made a typographical error and still have been connected to a secure connection. The padlock was replaced with the Site Identity Button (first appeared in Firefox 3). Familiarize yourself with the Site Identity Button at the left end of the Location Bar:

    *https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Site+Identity+Button
