White icons

after i downloaded the iBook app, the notes and mail icons gone white, i resynced the phone and reset it, but still the same. its iphone for running on ios 5.0.1
so what do i have to do to get my icons back?

Connect your phone and ***back it up*** to itunes. Then delete the white-icon apps. Then put them back on. Then restore your data.
***The backup part is important if you have data associated with your apps that you care about. Backup is a menu option that appears when you right click on the device. Restore is in the same menu.
I read that this problem occurs when you let your phone battery drain completely resetting the date to 1970 so make sure your date/time is reset to the current date/time before doing this process.
Hope this helps.

Anyone ever find an answer to generic white icons on the desktop?

Hiya,
I only just updated my system from 10.4.2 - 10.4.5, and have discovered the problem as described in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=222509&start=0&tstart=0
There is no definitive answer on the thread and I can't reply as it's archived. I'd love to know if someone has come up with a solution and explanation, as the white icons are a bit annoying, and more importantly, I want to know if it's a sign of anything being wrong with my system.
Thanks alot,
Charity

Did this start for you after updating your version of Mac OS X? Mine started after going from 10.4.2-10.4.5. I think that judging from other people's posts, it's the 10.4.3 update that does it. It's happened to quite a few other people, but not enough for there to have been a proper answer found unfortunately.
I'm just living with it for now. FYI, you can also get rid of the white icon by labelling the items as a colour (and naming them back again if you want), or by getting info on the item and clicking on it's icon in the top left corner and pressing the delete key... but the colour label thing would be easier for doing it for many documents at once. Mine also fix themselves after a reboot. Mind you, as this is a weird blip, it might not be the same on your computer.
I'll get back to you if I find what's wrong, but I've looked into it quite a bit and can't yet figure it out yet. I may try a few suggestions on another thread. If you work it out, could you let me know too?

White icons in InDesign

All of my Indesign icons are white. Does anyone know why that is? The rest of my Adobe programs are fine. I am using InDesign CC 2014 on a PC, Windows 7.

I asked IT to reinstall. Unfortunately our IT guy is cranky and stubborn and refuses to do a reinstall because he is convinced it won't work and god forbid anyone tell him how to do his job. He even went to far as called my boss complaining to have me stop asking about the icon. He's worthless. So I guess I'm stuck with white icons. Thanks anyway!

How to get rid of white icons on ipod touch 4th generation

How do you get rid of white icons on the ipod touch 4th generation. I tried resetting it already.
Thanks,

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

My app icon became a white icon

I just reboot my iPod touch 4g from changing language , and my app icon all gone missing , it just show a white icon over there.
Anyone knows how to solve this problem ? thank you.
My iOS is 4.3.3

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

White icons on ipod touch

I have an ipod touch and have just noticed that some of the app icons have turned white otr blank.
Anyone have the same problem and know of a fix. I have restarted the ipod.
Many thanks

Try to reset the iPod first by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data doing a reset.
If you delete apps in order to download or sync them again, you will also erase the data of those apps while removing them from your device.

File icons displayed as plain white icons

hi
pls help me .. I have recently stalled the Mac OFFice - but still I am unable to see the word XLS and PDF icons as Plain WHITE - without seeing the colored icons for my files .
Pls help.
Thanks

Establish a telnet connection with your server:
telnet server_ip server_port
Write:
GET /path_to_your_jnlp_file HTTP/1.0
and return twice.
You will see the http response your server is sending. Analyze the Content-Type header of this response. Is it set to application/x-java-jnlp-file?
If no, then your server isn't well configured.
If yes, then it's your client that isn�t ok.

After renaming the desktop shotcuts have all turned white (icon picture missing)

Hi,
I'm trying the new windows and I just renamed some of the desktop shortcuts - removing from them the awful suffix "shortcut" and after restart they all turned white and the picture disappeared. The icons have been deleted also from the aplication's
.exe file and can't be reloaded.
Thanks

1. Go back to that registry hack program you were using to remove the arrows, UN-DO it.
2. If that failed to restore the desktop shortcuts, use the following tutorial. It is written for Win 8 /8.1. It is applicable to Win 10 TP.
http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/8486-default-file-associations-restore-windows-8-a.html
At the File Type or Protocol table, scroll down to .exe
> click it and save it to the desktop.
Follow the steps listed at the top of the tutorial from #1 to 7.
Scroll down to .lnk and repeat
the steps #1 to 7.
Reboot your computer.
Hopefully, that will restore your shortcuts' file type associations.
Good luck.

ICON: Black Nano/White Icon

I recently downloaded the software updater for iPod. I disconnected the iPod so it would not automatically update before I had a chance to review the updates. I was interested in making sure I didn't have the volume dampering update. In the process my black nano icon was replaced with what looks like an older white iPod or a white video iPod.
How do I get my icon back?
How do I make sure I don't have volume limiting updates on my Nano?

hi Jared!

try marking your question as "not answered".

Chose a photo to print, then the screen went grey (spinning white icon), and iPhoto will not respond

I chose a picture to print, but instead of a print dialogue box, the screen went grey and iPhoto will not respond. I have even shut down my iMac completely, but when I relaunch iPhoto, I get the same screen (grey with the spinning "thinking" icon). I am running the latest version of Yosemite on the iMac. Thanks for your help.

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair the database and if necessary rebuild your database

.m4v file icons have become solid white in Lion Finder under iTunes 10.6.3

Hi there,
I'm making this a dual category post, since I cannot determine whether this is an iTunes issue or a Lion issue.
I discovered that after updating iTunes to 10.6.3, all Finder icons for file container type .m4v have changed from their standard iTunes "notes" icon (with "M4V") to a simple white icon, regardless of the Finder view set. (Icon, List, Cover Flow)
All other iTunes-related icons are fine (.m4a, .m4r), as well as icons associated with other applications - it is limited to .m4v video files, as seen in the below Icon view screenshot:
My thread in the Lion forums, including actions already taken to attempt to repair, is found here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4032208?tstart=0
Has anyone else noticed this, or am I alone in experiencing this anomaly?
Thanks!
Steve

Bumping an old thread. I have this issue also under OS X Yosemite (which has been present since Lion), where m4v generic icons are white. I tried deleting the finder plist and rebuilding launch services through Terminal and Cocktail, to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks

.m4v file icons have become solid white in Finder under iTunes 10.6.3

Hi there,
I just discovered this little annoyance... I thought I'd seen the last of it under a prior version of iTunes, but it may have come back.
iTunes video files (.m4v container files) have suddenly defaulted to a plain white icon in the Finder - desktop, folders, etc. - upon updating to iTunes 10.6.3. The generic blue "notes" icon with "M4V" has disappeared, and will not reappear upon attempting to clear out the icon during a Get Info.
Strangely, if "Show icon preview" is checked under Finder's View Options, it will display any associated album art with the .m4v file correctly - it just so happens that something occurred with the default icons.
I rebuilt the Launch Services just in case, and these files by default still open with iTunes as per usual. Checked for corrupt .plist files (even trashed com.apple.finder.plist) and cleared some caches out, ran maintenance scripts, etc. to cover any possible loose ends, but this issue is still present.
I recently upgraded to Lion 10.7.4 (long time SL holdout) but everything was normal under iTunes 10.6.2 - so I cannot determine whether this is a Lion issue or an iTunes issue. I am going to post this in the iTunes forum as well, but has anyone else noticed this recently? If so, what did you do to fix this?
Thanks all,
Steve

That's the point to where I was getting - without icon previews, the default icon for .m4v files should be the following:
(This was just taken from my wife's MacBook Pro, still on iTunes 10.6.2 but running Snow Leopard 10.6.8)
Under Lion (10.7.4) and iTunes 10.6.3, the default icon (no previews) is empty white, which I do not believe should be - I had the above generic icon for .m4v files in Lion under 10.6.2.
Yet iTunes-associated audio files are fine: (from my iMac)
Strange, isn't it??

Can't mount Time Capsule on PC (white system tray icon no longer there)

My new time capsule is working perfectly on my MacBookPro, however recently I tried to get it to work on my PC laptop. I easily got the wireless internet work on the PC, that's not a problem. I installed the airport utility on my PC and it was able to recognize it through the airport utility interface/configuring window where I could change settings, etc., just like I could on my Mac. There used to be (on my PC) this white icon in my system tray on the lower right of my screen. When I clicked on this I could type my password, as prompted, and mount to the time capsule, which I could now see in My Computer as a drive. I tested a few files by dragging them over into the drive, and it worked fine. Now, a week later the icon in the system tray has disappeared, and I can no longer see the time capsule on my PC in My Computer. I can still click on the airport utility icon in my programs and see/change settings in my time capsule from my PC, but cannot see nor access the drive from My Computer (or mount by clicking on this now missing icon). Anyone else know what I can do? Thanks in advance!

I was just having this problem and figured out that the white system tray icon is the Airport Base Station Agent. It wasn't running for me for some reason, too, but I found it and started it back up again at C:\Program Files\AirPort\APAgent.exe.
Here's an Apple Support article (it's a little old) I found that discusses drive mapping in windows with the Airport Base Station Agent: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1331
Hope this helps.

Black and white and coulored icons in Gnome3 title bar

Hello all,
I wonder about icons in the Gnome3 title bar. I did'nt changed any related settings.
I have an up to date physical installation and an up to date Virtual Box with beautiful black and white icons:
Today I upgraded a clone of the Virtual Box machine. This machine was not updated since months. The icons are colored now.
I thought all up to date installations should have the same theme and icons. Just for know, why they are different and where can I fix it?

Don't export it as a .jpeg which is unsuitable for B&W images, blurring them as rgb files (not B&W).
Better is .tiff (compressed B&W tiff are tiny) or 1 bit .gif.
It is also possible that .pdf vector files might work but I haven't experimented with those.

This is very retro lo-tech with unattractive results, which is why I guess Apple hasn't bothered with them.
