White grid icon instead of the original

Some of the applications that I've downloaded recently have white grid icons instead of the original ones. They look like this https://www.dropbox.com/s/peevgo738owpn2w/C-qRSs-TPbQ.jpg
The applications run correctly. I tried reinstalling them, rebooting and resetting the ipad, logging out of the Apple Store - none of these solves the problem.

The file extension is .docx. Thanks for the info about screenshots, I didn't know how to do that with Windows 8.1. I made a copy of the screenshot and cropped it to show just the icon, and I'm attaching it.
Thanks for your help.

  • When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?

    When I create a New Folder (on the desktop or in Finder), the system uses the Generic Document Icon instead of the Generic Folder Icon. How can I change this back?
    All of a sudden I noticed that most of the folders on my computer were no longer using the folder icon, but the generic document icon. I had to manually change back the icon being used by opening Get Info for each folder and copying and pasting the generic folder icon from some folders that remained unchanged. Now whenever I create a New Folder (right click -> "New Folder"), the icon that shows up is the generic document icon (white page with top right corner turned down). And I have to manually change it so it shows up as a folder in Finder or on my desktop. I don't know why or how this switch happened. All of the folders now on my computer look ok, but I need to change the default so when I create a New Folder it uses the correct icon.
    I have also Forced Relaunch of my Finder and rebooted the system. I downloaded Candybar but am not sure what will fix anything, so I haven't proceeded.
    Anyone know how I can do this? Thanks.

    Anyone?

  • White screen appears instead of the wallpaper after starting up and all the funtions are working properly like the brightness and the vol

    white screen appears instead of the wallpaper after starting up and all the funtions are working properly like the brightness and the vol

    Hello again V.K,
    I'm taking the computer to assistance as suggested. Even tho I'm almost 100% sure that this isn't a hardware issue.
    Here is why I'm not wasting my time on my affirmative. I'm computer science bacharelor, I know about computer architeture and S.O architeture and also I'm computer developer for more than 10 years now. All behaviors presented have no connection with hardware problems. What I'm trying to say is that I'm not just saying things for saying, I have a logic behind what I say.
    For a short example, whenever mouse right click stops working on a specific window/software, if I click on the window top border and drag it around and go back to the window content, the click works again.
    Also, my keyboard and mouse work via usb. Usb is working normally. If I plug a usb memory stick it shows that usb is working as it should be.
    On windows, right button click is also not working inside any software window, but if I click on start button, icons on desktop, anything on windows epxlorer, it works as it should be. Isnt't there bootcamp underneath windows ?
    on top of it, it's a brand new mac, i have it for 5 months.
    All these people that have the same problem, do u think all of them have hardware issues? Do you think Apple would keep releasing new computers with hardware problems and they wont have any information/recall for them? and worst, the problems start in a random date ?
    This is my first mac and all these problems, being hardware or not, makes me lose all confidence on Apple products.
    Davi.

  • Why do I receive a 'gear' icon instead of the Apple icon when starting up iPad2?

    Hello all,
    I searched the iPad community forums with no luck. My younger brother won an iPad2 at his 20th anniversary High School reunion, since he already had an iPad2 he suggested we give it as an Anniversary present to our parents. Since our parents are going to Italy this fall I thought it was a great idea as they will be able to use it as a resourse while traveling as well as keep us updated regarding their travels. (They have been amazed and curious at my iPhone 3GS and our iPads so we thought it would be great way to introduce them to a tablet.)
    When they first turned on the iPad2 last night we received an image of what appears to be a gold/bronze mechanical gear instead of the familar Apple logo. Instead of the normal home screen we recieve the following screen. (http://i811.photobucket.com/albums/zz32/ScotchManGSO/ipad2screen.png) The home screen was initially fun to look at due to the pop culture references built into the icons. (Being a Star Wars fan the 'AT-AT' Walker icon was my favorite.)
    Unfortunately the fun quickly wore off as we could not restore the iPad2 to the factory defaults using iTunes. (By the way, the iPad2 capactiy only indicated 11GB instead of 16GB.)
    My best guess, although I just entered the world of Apple back in 2009 with my iphone purchase, is that the iPad does not have the iOS loaded. In moving through the applications it appears that the applications are designed to test the iPad display, charging, gryoscope, etc.
    Any help in restoring the iPad2 to the normal home screen would be appreciated greatly!

    What you have there is either a jailbroken unit with some crazy custom UI or an eastern knockoff. Give us some photos of the ipad itself, mainly the back and some experts can help.
    If you plug it into iTunes does iTunes even acknowledge that an ipad is connected? If it does then try a restore.
    Failing that, head down to an apple store and see what they can do for you.

  • PSE icons instead of the photo. I need to view photos at a glance. Please help me????

    Please help, this is driving me crazy.  I have downloaded my free PSE #9, it came with my Leica Camera.  I cannot view at a glance any of my photos.  There is only an icon that reads, PSE.  To view any of my photos, I must click select and then preview.  This gets old, and I am doing 4 times the work. I am having to use the dates to guess where my photos might be.  I hate this!  My old Photo Shop #5 didn't do this.  When you went to my pictures, you could see every photo.
    I have tried the right click and open as any program.  What ever program I choose, that is the icon that appears.  No photo. Still no good.
    Please help.
    Thanking anyone in advance,
    Leica

    Hi,
    Are you using Windows Explorer to view the files?
    If so, load Explorer, go to the Tools menu and select Folder Options.
    Click on the View tab and make sure the first option (Always show icons, never thumbnails) is not checked.
    Click on OK and see if that is any better.

  • Amazon.co.uk homepage is displaying tiny icons instead of the normal size ones

    Until a week ago everything was fine. I think I may have accidentally hit a key while the page was loading and now everyting shown (icons, wording, graphics etc) is tiny and unreadable.

    Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: <b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

  • HT202213 I have a new computer we set up with itunes home sharing. Can I add music to this new computer sync my iphone and ipod to it instead of the original computer. I'm not sure if it makes a difference if I have a different apple id than with our orig

    I have a new computer that we set up with itunes home sharing and I need some assistance. I also have my own apple id and would like to make the new computer the one I use for my music. Should I set up a whole new itunes library/account or still work with the home sharing?

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

  • Why did my messages turn blue instead of the original green?

    Finally got a iphone. I'm just learning it, but my messages use to be green for the outgoing text but they turned blue. How do I reset it.

    Blue is free & means they are being sent as iMessages. Green means regular SMSs and costs money. Read here:

  • HT201611 how to play rented movies on another authorized device instead of the original rent device?

    i needed some movies for a trip but my laptop downloads too slow so i needed to use my desktop, not working after moving files, but, the laptop in question is authorized, i moved the movie files from the desktop to my laptop adding them as files back into itunes
    when i go to play the movies through iTunes, it just sits there staring blankly at me, no movie, no password confirmation, nothing, and they haven't even been played yet, they come up under un-watched but wont play
    is there anything i can do or is this a limitation?
    BTW both devices are using Windows 7

    It's a limitation; only one computer can be authorized for any given rental. If desired, click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for assistance.

  • Is there a way to open a smart object, but get the original instead of a temp file?

    Working with large amounts of images and PSD files.
    1.  We create a smart object from say, a .jpg file on a layer, then filter, etc.
    2.  Double clicking the smart object creates a new window with that object as a .psB file.
    3.  When the file is saved and closed, the .psB file is deleted.
    This is how smart objects work, we know.
    What we need to do is:
    1.  We create a smart object from say, a .jpg file on a layer, then filter, etc.
    2. Double clicking the smart object will open the ORIGINAL .jpg file
    3.  When the file is saved, the original .jpg file is saved in its altered form, and is reflected in the .psd file
    We realize that Smart objects were created for reasons, of which we are aware.
    Yet, we have several designers who use the same .jpg's but want the original to be changed so that the next developer has that changed .jpg.
    Trie thus far:
    ScriptListener cannot be used to tie it to a double click event on a smart object, because when the smart object is created it is already a copy of the original.
    Creating a variable to call the original does not 'appear' to work, because it is accessing the .psB file instead of the original .psD file.
    I think with early versions of PS there was a way to insert an image like a .jpg into a layer, and the link to that .jpg was retained. Thus, when you double click on that layer, the original .jpg is brought up to be edited, the .jpg file is now altered, and is reflected in the .psd file after finishing.

    No, not too late.
    InDesign is for layout for press in this case.
    Photoshop is for design, which is using the .jpg's.
    I'm half way there, but stuck at:
    Getting a file location reference when the .jpg is first brought into PS as a layer.
    Getting a script to write the location of the file into the medata for the PSD in some field
    Reading back the metadata file location for the .jpg and bringing it back into the PSD again.
    Any help would really be appreciated.
    I can make the completed script(s) available when its complete, as this has possibilities for other uses, batch process, and more.

  • Photos now carry generic icons instead of a the actual picture

    While taking screenshots one day, I noticed that all the pictures on my desktop had that ugly, generic picture icon (you know, the sheet of paper with the picture of Preview's icon on it?) instead of the mini copy of the actual photo they usually do. I went back through my pictures folder and half of them retained their cute little copy of themselves, and the other half are the generic blank.
    WHY?!
    I didn't realize how useful this feature was until this happened, and I want it back! Other types of files that generally do this, like PDFs remain thankfully unharmed. Help, please

    OK, this seems the closest thread to what's going on here. I've got a late-2008 Macbook Pro, 10.5.8. Icons on the desktop and in finder windows are showing generic icons instead of the application-specific ones. Funny thing is, if I do a relaunch of the Finder (option-click/hold Finder icon in dock to bring up the menu), the specific icons will show up, but after a second or two will switch back to the generic ones. ??
