Why are so many app icons either pixelated or missing?  No photo thumbnails in Photoshop CS6 and missing icons for newly installed applications.

Even after a clean install of new applications and permission fixes and disk repairs, this problem persists.  Apple must have changed some specifications for thumbnail icons in Mountain Lion.   This is a particularly frustrating problem with Adobe Photoshop CS6.  If you attempt to save a CS6 file in any format, the thumbnail image icon just disappears or appears dark, with no image visible.  I have spoken with both Adobe and Apple about this and no one seems to want to accept responsibility, but I'm beginning to believe the issue is with Mountain Lion, as I did a clean install of a Mountain Lion friendly and compatible app today and the end result was that there is no icon for the application.  The application will run, but you cannot see an icon for it in the dock, only the name.  This is absurd!  Seems like paid "upgrades" are now becoming downgrades.   At least that's how I feel when I actually lose rather than gain functionality.

this is happening to me too. if i create a photoshop jpeg file it has no thumbnail icon. the file seems to be there by name only?

  • Why are so many home buttons not working like mine? See web comments

    Why are so many home buttons on ipad 2 reported as faulty on the web? Mine is being replaced because of this requiring tedious journeys to Apple Bristol

    Webchats, forums, and news reporters basically talk about what doesn't work, not what does. This site is for people who are having trouble so you don't see many people logging in saying: "I have a perfect iPad!" Consumer non-News would be: "Im John Materese and today no-one returned an iPad to the local Apple Store."
    Sorry you had a bad experience but with millions and millions made and sold, some one is bound to get a defective device. To put it another way, if Apple's defective rate were an industry unheard of 1%, with 15 million iPads sold, that would be 150,000 iPads that had a defect. 1% is a very small number, 150,000 isn't

  • Why are so many movies available in high def for ipad, but not for imac?

    ok. another question, why are so many itunes rentals and movies unavailable in high def for rent or buy on an imac?   i have a 27 inch imac.   and an ipad, and it's funny, it will let me rent a high def video on the ipad, but not on the imac.   it's wierd, i don't get it, because there are movies i would rent or buy on my imac, that i'm not going to buy now because of this. 

    It depends on the contract w/the distribution company. Lionsgate for example has licensed their movies for resale on iTunes, not rental. Paramount allows some movies to be sold(not sure which ones and why) and others for rental, but the standard rental agreement between Apple and the movie studios is that rents will not be available for 30 days after the DVD is released.
    Edit: Well, looking at the AppleTV site it looks like Lionsgate allows rentals also now, but there may be terms in the contract which say which movies can be bought/rented.

  • Why are so many shows off of PBS?

    Why are so many shows on PBS missing in the Naples area?

    Missing from where?
    Regular tv viewing or On Demand?
    Have you contacted the PBS station and asked? They are who decides what to air.

  • HT1386 why are there 0's in some folders that i put photos in in iPhoto when I veiw it in iTunes?

    why are there 0's in some folders that i put photos in in iPhoto when I veiw it in iTunes?

    Those files should be being created in folders of the form:
    <User's Music>\iTunes\Album Artwork\Cache|Download\<GUID>\<##>\<##>\<##>
    The <GUID> in your case is 0CDB362F24AD473A...
    If they are appearing anywhere else I would suspect a permissions problem. iTunes just spits them out where it can. Similar problems can sometimes cause it to drop files on the desktop.
    Repair Permissions
    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and system full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
    Once you've repaired the permissions search for all files of the form *.itc2 in the music folder and delete them, then start iTunes. iTunes will rebuild the artwork cache in the correct location as you scroll through your library.

  • TS3991 why are 2 of my Numbers documents not loading from icloud They appear in faded grey and I can't open them ? How do I recover them ?

    why are 2 of my Numbers documents not loading from icloud They appear in faded grey and I can't open them ? How do I recover them ?

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • I upgraded to lion when it first came out but today i tried to open my photoshop cs2 and its telling me the powerpc applications are no longer supported is there any fix out there for this

    i upgraded to lion when it first came out but today i tried to open my photoshop cs2 and its telling me the powerpc applications are no longer supported is there any fix out there for this

    Lion is Not compatible with PPC (Power PC) based software, such as your older version of PhotoShop.  Your choices are you can either upgrade to the newer version of PhotoShop, or you can backup your data and apps, erase your harddrive and reinstall Snow Leopard.
    Hope this helps

  • Bug: Universal app input controls (i.e. Start Menu, Task view buttons) ignoring and missing interpretative translation for legacy input control context request (right-click)

    Redundant post - however the topic (title) is different to point out the potential of adding translation for right-click to universal app input controls. The part about a solution for translation is in bold at the bottom of this post ...
    Bug: Universal app input controls (i.e. Start Menu, Task view buttons) ignoring and missing interpretation translating right-click to a left-click to activate context (menu) in universal app web style (similar to oo context menu for oo legacy style).
    Bug: Task view: OO context menu: Should show "nothing" (like right-click Start Menu button) - but right click Task view shows the oo context menu for the Task bar (wrong context)
    Besides behaving wrongly (should be like right clicking the Start button) ....
    the problem is the user is likely to look for actions on that context menu.
    However to activate the context menu for this universal app kind of behavior you actually need to left-click the button for the Task view ... and then you get the universal app like context menu.
    Microsoft must have been trying to figure out what to do about this kind of voupling mismatch between legacy (right-click) and universal app (left-click) conmtext menus. confusing for users it weill become nevertheless.
    But the left-click style supports touch.
    One solution though is to support right-click on i.e. Task view and Start button. Thus for new kind (universal app kind-of)input controls - right-click will work (instead of just being ignored) just like left-click. Allthough not a correct left-click
    - it will be helpful and interpretive translating the intension of receiving a context. A practical solution with right-click translating into left-click for universal app controls considering that the context menu actually has become a hybrid of left-click
    and right-click (with a precedence for left-click though)

    This is a great post.
    I couldn't have written it myself better.

  • Why are so many iPhone applications suddenly crashing? :(

    I'm on iPhone 4S v7.0.4 and have noticed in the last couple of weeks, many of my apps (Gmail, New York Times, Huffington Post, Facebook, etc,) after launching them and scrolling through items for 1 -3 minutes, the app drops.  It is quite frustrating and doesn't matter if I'm on Wifi or cellular.
    Anything new or do I need to restore from back-up?

    I don't know why it happened, but I just spent a few hours and went through them one at a time and either refiled or deleted...

  • Why are the factory apps placed in the slots they are in when the phone is factory, what is the significance of their assigned spots

    Does anybody have any idea on why the stock/factory apps are placed in the dock and springboard in the slots they are when you do a full restore?

    the best answer anyone here can give is "Because that's what Apple decided."
    beyond that, nobody here knows.
