Weird icon showing up
Am getting, especially on .doc files a curious icon, two eyeball peeking up from the base and two protrusions, either eyebrows or horns, can't decide which.
Anybody else seen this?
What gives?
If the Finder is assigning it an icon it must be suffering from the delusion that whatever program it's getting the icon from is the one that the file "belongs" to. What program opens if you double click the file? Also, if you select GetInfo for one of the files displaying the icon, and then click the menu for "Open with" you might spot which odd program could be the source of the icon. You could just assign the file to the program you want to actually open it, and then click the "Change All..." button. That should change the icon of the files to the one for the files belonging to the program you actually use. At any rate, sometime somewhere you installed a program that has that icon for its files and the Finder has decided to use it. My guess at this point is that it is an old Classic program. Anyway, it's nothing to worry about.

Weird icon showing up in A/S 2.0 code
is suddenly appearing in my code...and I'm unable to delete
all of them. Also, whenever I hit the "enter" key, this backward P
icon shows up instead. It is suddenly affecting every frame I work
on in all projects I open...any idea what this is and how I make it
go away? Thanks!thank you so very very very much!!! as a newbie to A/S, it's
hard enough for me to decipher the code as is...the little
formatting icons were driving me crazy!!!! it seems a small
thing...but it was really interrupting my work flow.
Thanks again for helping a Flash buddy out... -
Xterm has a weird icon after update
Hi,
I updated today, and afterwards I now have a terminal window with a weird icon.
First I thought this must be an error, maybe it is a graphics glitch... But I guess it is just an ugly icon.
Is it suppose to be a computer screen with a keyboard? It is kind of annoying to stare at all day since it looks like something a 3 year old would draw.
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/688/weirdicon.png/There are two changes involved: one was a modification to let xterm hint the window decoration (which appears to be what you're showing).
That's done now via a resource setting which wasn't really used (iconName), and defaults to a small version of the desktop icon.
The other change allows configuring the mini-icon (which isn't the default simply because it looks different...).
That's done at build-time using --with-icon-name=mini.xterm
As a quick-fix you "should" be able to set iconName (look in /usr/share/pixmaps for some nicer .xpm file)
The change using iconName is noted in the next line of the changelog:
extend iconName resource to search for icon named according to resource value and use that if found. If not found, use compiled-in pixmap. Both set the WM_ICON_NAME property which is used by various window managers, usually for window decoration.

[Gnome 3] Application icons show transparency incorrectly on mouse-ove
Hello,
my gnome 3 installation works properly, however the application icons of both the sidebar left and the application screen have a weird bug where the transparent parts of the icon show some kind of checkerboard pattern when they are highlighted by moving the mouse over them. (The graphics bug appears when moving the mouse on the icon, while the mouse is on the icon the transparency is shown correctly).
I have no idea what causes this or even how to call that bug, so its hard to search for it
Here are some fotos (the effect doesnt appear on screenshots):

Hi, I recently made a factory reset of W8.1, and now I'm seeing a weird and very annoying dark blue backgound in the list of recent files that appears when you right click an app pinned to the taskbar. Also, the "pin to taskbar" and "close window" icons show sort of out of place and apparently larger than normal I've tried looking through every possible setting but I can't find anything related to this list in particular. Any ideas?
Thanks in advanced.MechPilot wrote:
Hello @Adrianrff, I understand that a dark blue background and strange icon placement on the jump list of apps in the task bar of your computer, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter! Since this issue occurred after performing a factory reset, I suggest performing a full system recovery by following the steps in this resource on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), as well as Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 8). This should return the jump list and icon sizes back to factory settings.
If the issue continues, please contact our technical support for further assistance in this matter by clicking the link below to get the support number for your region.

I hope this helps!
Regards Thanks for the suggestion, MechPilot. I did a full system recovery but unfortunately it did not work. Apparently the color of the background matches the color chosen in Windows first startup, but I don't remember having chosen white the first time, everything looked fine then. Any other suggestion? -
I have a MacBook with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and iTunes 11.0.1. When I tether my new iPod Nano, the icon shows up on my desktop, but does not show up under devices in iTunes. The Nano says it is connected and synching, but I cannot download music if it doesn't show up under devices.
Hi,
Have you managed to solve this problem? if yes, please highlight how you solved it...i'm facing same problem with my new Iphone 5S but udner Windows, thanks. -
How do I get a PDF document put into an attachment form that I can drag to an e-mail. Usually I get an icon showing an spiral note book which then becomes an attachment when I drag it to the e-mail, but occasionally it stays in PDF and prints out on the e-mail. What have I done differently?
Thanks again for the detailed instructions Srini!
And I really hate to be a pest . . . but . . .
Using your example and not modifying it, I get the e-mail form filled out correctly and the pdf attached, however, I'm not prompted to sign it.
Any more clues? -
Why does calendar app icon show current date, but weather app icon does not?
i.e. At time of writing this post, the calendar app icon shows "Sunday 16" but the weather one always always always shows "23 degrees"
Is there a way of fixing this inconsistency in the UI?I now realise that this has been asked previously, only the 'previously asked?' search didnt' pick it up for me.
Yes I understand the issues about how 'live' it needs to be, but surely you should have the option of picking this? Most people are connected 'all the time' anyway, so so what if there is a tiny bit of weather data flying about? -
I recently bought an Ipod touch 2nd gen, (Ebay). It's in great shape and seemed to be wiped clean.
When I connect (via windows computer) to Itunes with usb cord the Ipod icon shows, but the only function you can do is eject. When its in the upper right hand corner and you click on it all you get is a done button, when it's in the side bar right click and your only option is eject, left click has no effect. If I go to "file">devices it's as if there are no devices connected.
I purchased a song with Itunes on the Ipod itself, and it transferred to my library on the computer automatically .
I have an Iphone 5 and a nano that are still functioning with Itunes thru computer so I'm thinking the issue is with the Ipod touch. I've reset it several times, rebooted it, with no change.
nothing on the internet has helped, I called tech support and got disconnected. Should I take it to a retail store? I just don't know where to go next, I'm of course willing to pay for tech or repair. looking for suggestions.Try:

- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Charging Icon shows full while charging when iPhone isn't fully charged
The battery/charging icon in the top right of my iPhone 3G will change to the "fully charged" icon while the phone is charging. However, the phone is not truly fully charged. Why is the icon showing up if the phone isnt even close to being fully charged??
I've had the same problem with 2 iPhones now, first one I had wouldn't charge and then just went completely dead. I had it replaced and guess what, same bloody thing. My phone hasn't been charging since last night and I'm honestly getting sick of it. I'm having this one replaced, my third iPhone in the past 4 months. This is the last one, if anything happens to is I want my money back and to **** with it.

i work for a retailer who sends out e-receipts as pdf attachements. When the email arrives on any apple product, i see the email with the paperclip icon showing that there is an attachment but i cannot ever see or find the actual attachment. Any ideas?
i have scrolled left, right, up and down on iphone4, iphone5 and ipad and the attachment simply does not exist. It has to be something with the apple mail client setup because for any mail client, if they go to the webemail thru safari, the attachment is there and it can be viewed without issue.
I know there are plenty of people out there with this issue with the mail clients set up that you access thru the email icon on the iphone and ipad but i cannot find anyone with a resolution. I cannot find any settings in the mail client setup that has anything to do with attachments or for what attachments can or cannot be read or seen.
Hopefully someone out there has figured something out because this is an odd one. -
