Two Icons for Mail on desktop e

I have not clue how this happened but I now have two icons for mail, one in the dock, one on the desktop. I tired to move the one on the desktop to the trash but it will not do it. I get message that I can not put in trash because it is open. Even tho it is not open... any one know how I can get rid of the icon on the desktop?

you may have dragged and dropped the mail app icon to the dock inadvertently. quit mail and if you do not want mail to be displayed on the dock, then go to the dock and drag that mail icon to the desktop, it should then "poof" disappear, and you can continue using the icon on the desktop if that is what you want to do.
hope this helps

  • Why do I have two icons for iMovie '11 after downloading the update from the App Store?  Previously I had iMovie '09.

    Why do I have two icons for iMovie '11 after downloading the update from the App Store?  Previously I had iMovie '09.

    Do you see two versions of iMovie in your Application folder?
    You can drag the icons out of the dock and then drag what you want back to the dock from the Application folder.

  • Two Icons for Time Capsule

    After trying everything, including a clean install, two icons still appear for me in Finder. Can anyone help me with this? Small, but details matter to me. Plus, it confuses my wife and we share iTunes and iPhoto through AirPort...
    Thanks in advance!

    I've seen this on our network at work and never really been able to figure it out.
    Tell us something about your home network.
    Is it a subnet of a larger network?

  • Generic disk icon for iPod on Desktop.

    Hi,
    I hope somebody can help me fix this. On desktop I have a generic disk image icon for my iPod, I would like to have the old iPod icon but it won't change on desktop. On the other hand, on save and open dialogs, the iPod icon is correct.
    What do I need to have fixed on desktop so it shows the icon I want for my iPod?
    Archive and Install is not a solution, already done that.
    I really don't want to do an erase and install.
    BTW, when creating a new user all icons are correct on desktop.
    Thanks,
    AJ

    While logged into the other admin account, delete the bad account, selecting the save data option, recreate the bad account using the same username/password combo, log out and back into the new account. If the problem's are solved, open the saved data dmg file in /Users/Deleted Users/, open the /Library/Preferences/ folder from the saved data, open the current /Users/restored account/Library/Preferences/ folder, and slowly copy plist files from the saved data folder to the current one that don't exist in it. Log out and back in to ensure there's no conflict and things still work correctly. Resolving conflicts or identifying corrupt plist files is a laborious process. Good luck.

  • JES5: outlook shows 'fake' attachment icon for mails originating from uwc/e

    Hi,
    Strange thing:
    We are using JES5 with both UWC and outlook connector.
    Mails sent from UWC in Internet explorer (dutch version) display a 'file attachment' icon in outlook 2003 (in the header pane). In the message pane, there's no file attachment.
    Mails sent from UWC in Mozilla (dutch version) display fine in outlook 2003 (that is: no sign of a file attachment icon).
    Upon further inspection, I noticed that Internet explorer generates this type of mime header (notice the multipart/mixed)

    This (cosmetic) problem is unrelated to choosing 'pure text' or 'html text' in the UWC message creation window.
    I don't know where to look for solving this bug:
    - is it outlook that is unable to correctly parse the 'multipart/mixed' type of mail ?
    - or should internet explorer generate multipart/alternative style mails ?
    any ideas ?
    gr,
    Tom.

    That's not someting I've seen. I suggest a support case.

  • Generic icons for Office on desktop

    I copied the files on the desktop of my Air running 10.6.8 to a drive, and then copied those files to the desktop on my new Air running 10.10.2. The icons of all (and only) the Office files have gone generic. When I drag a Word file with the correct icon from a folder to the desktop, its icon goes generic.
    What's going on and what can I do to change this behavior?

    Back up all data before continuing.
    Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    mv Des*/.DS_Store .Trash/
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal.
    Relaunch the Finder, then empty the Trash. Test.

  • Two icons for the same app. appear in dock

    Hello. As is obvious to everyone, whenever one launches an app., it's icon will appear in the dock (assuming it's not already there). I have one particular app., however, (a newly downloaded mac game), that whenever launched, it's icon will appear in the dock, immediately followed by a second icon right next to the first! Does anyone know the cause of this? If I quit the first icon, the app is unaffected.
    I have repaired permissions, and even rebuilt Launch Services database, to no effect.
    The game, by the way, plays perfectly, so it is only a minor concern, but I'd like to know if there's a way to correct this.
    Thanks in advance

    Some programs open up assistant programs whic really results in two (or mor) programs opening up and appearing in your Dock. For example ffmpeg will open up a progrss app when you start encoding so you see a separate app apear on the dock. You have to quit it separately.

  • Icons for images on desktop do not update when edited in Preview

    I didn't know what topic to put this in but I guess I consider this a Finder issue.
    Here's the problem: In both Leopard and Tiger, when I edit something in Preview and save it the little icon preview image on my desktop (you know, above the file name) does not change, even after I restart. I know the world isn't going to end because of it but it has gotten to the point where I'll edit things in Photoshop instead of Preview just to get the stupid icon to be accurate, otherwise I don't know if I've worked on a picture already or not. It would save me from a lot of time wasted booting up Photoshop just to crop an image.
    I also noticed that the Spotlight comments (when I use "get info" on the file) still describe the picture in its larger format before cropping. It just doesn't seem to update itself. The image I am looking at as an example is a PNG right now but I'm sure it has happened with jpegs as well. (generally I'll just go into Photoshop in the end and save from there to update the icon out of frustration)
    Can this be fixed? It would certainly make me enjoy using Preview a little more.
    I thought this would go away with a Leopard upgrade but it doesn't seem to.

    Is there a way to remove or replace the preview image manually, then?
    select the files with custom icons and enter commandoptioni.
    in the resulting info window select the little icon in the top left corner and press delete.

  • I cannot quit the icon for mail. It stays on and because of that, I cannot shut down the computer?

    I cannot quit mail, the icon stays on and if I try to shut down the computer, the window appears and tell me to quit mail first and then shut down the computer. How do I get to quit the mail?

    Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu and shut Mail down from there.

  • Colour / color icons for Mail 5.0

    Thankfully I have found a way to get colour back into the sidebar via ColourfulSidebar1.0, but can anyone tell me, is there an equivalent to get the colour back into Mail 5.0.
    Removing colour where it clarifies and identifies is complete madness, what are Apple doing - whilst adding a weird faux leather and ripped paper trixy surround to iCal and Address Book - (BTW, does anyone know how to get rid of those/)
    Surely grey has always meant 'unusable' in the OSX interface.
    Notably they have removed colour from iPhoto also, but not from the Pro Aperture application, where productivity for users is key and I'm sure they would loose customers to Adobe Lightroom if thye did.
    Thanks for any help.
    Stephen.

    i also would love that , i mean let's face it colors are the easiest fastest way of identifying something, combine it with specific shapes & one doesn't even have to LOOK at them anymore, it becomes automatic
      what the **** were they thinking ?

  • Two icons showing for same drive

    Why would my mac desktop be showing two icons for the same drive? I have a total of four drives on this mac pro and drive four as of today has two icons. Also, I wasn't allowed to repair my main drive in disk utility. some problems did come up on that drive in the systems/library/core that supposedly don't match. Are these two problems related?  Thank you.

    I'm sorry but I haven't dug out the DVD in ages. Should I try disk warrior. It said my main drive could not be repaired because of the issue in library/core. Thank you so much for your quick response. I recently tried to download a file that was only for premier which I don't have and it would not open. And I tried to download a trial for adobe after effects. I uninstalled the adobe after effects because it wasn't loading propertly. That probably cause my problem.
    Can I keep editing in final cut with drive without repairing it if it seems to work?
    Thank you!!

  • Desktop drag and drop icon for my "other" computer

    i really need an icon for my MacBookPro desktop to reside on my Mac Pro desktop (and vice versa) so that I can just drag and drop copy (or move) data from one volume to another. sort of like what I have with my dropbox icon in the sense that I can just keep this on my desktop and in the View Pane of Finder and drag and drop items or open the volume etc.
    is this possible and i am just not getting it to work because i don't have things set to mount automatically or is there a restriction that does not allow this that I don't understand?
    i am on snow leopard and the connection is via wi, but I could plug in via ethernet when i know i will need to do this sort of moving of data a lot.
    thanks for clearing any of this up for me.

    if as3, create a sprite or movieclip and use:
    image1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,downF);
    image1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,upF);
    function downF(e:MouseEvent):void{
    Sprite(e.currentTarget).startDrag();
    function upF(e:MouseEvent):void{
    Sprite(e.currentTarget).stopDrag();
