Why did the file icon shrink?

Recently the file icons of pdf-files shrinked. The icon now is smaller on a white background.
Why?
What does that mean?

It's not a white background, it's a small preview of the actual document contents. Obviously not very useful for people with less than great eyesight. I'm currently having a problem with this at my office. I need to switch it back to just a PDF icon so my users aren't freaking out on me.

Why did the Mozillza Icon disappear from my Desktop after Updating to 6.02?

Updating Moz Firefox to 6.0.2...Update began installing on Firefox and Chrome...Firefox completed...Chrome was lagging behind..so I stopped it @ 60% as I do not care about Chrome...Firefox Icon on Desk top deleted...

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Why did the movie icon on my screename for ichat disappear

all of a sudden my movie icon next to my screename disappeared in my buddy list. It does appear in the ichat menu under IChat Buddies and the camera works in preview

Hi,
The green Icon for yourself and your Buddies is controlled by the Show Video Status item in the View menu.
Make sure this items is ticked.
If this is ON (ticked) but it still does not show the green icons go to the Video Menu and open the Connection Doctor > Capabilities.
Does this list the Internet as being too slow ?

Why did the phone icon on my home screen become useless after the KitKat update?

I received the KitKat update on my DROID Razr Maxx HD 2 days ago. Now when I click on my phone icon from my home page, the message "App not installed" displays. Now, in order to make a phone call, I have to open all my apps and scroll to "phone icon". How do I reinstall an app that is obviously still there. Apparently the update disconnected the link to the app?

Can't tell you why, but you should be able to fix by simply replacing the shortcut.
1) remove the current shortcut on the home screen by holding the shortcut and dragging it to the "X remove" option
2) go into your app list and find the phone link there, hold it and drag it back to your home screen

Why did the update of my iphone4 to the IOS 6, lose my UTube icon, and was replaced with a Passbook app.

Apple is no longer supporting YouTube with a native application starting with iOS 6.0. The "old" YouTube application was automatically removed when you upgraded, and it no longer exists in the new iOS. There are however, numerous third-party apps in the App Store which will allow you to view YouTube, including one from Google, which is the parent company for YouTube. Passbook is a new application to iOS 6.0 and is not at all related to YouTube.

Why did the icons under my 'Layer' tab change appearance?

The above image shows a layer of curves with a masks.
Why did the mask change its appearance? Normally it's a blank square.
Even the links have changed (I believe they were thinner previously).
I might've pressed something and I don't know how to go back. I haven't
updated anything yet, so it shouldn't be because it's a newer version of
Photoshop.

Here's how it looks. I'll try adjusting something...but I never touched any

Why wont the edit icon open so i can edit photos?

Why wont the edit icon open so i can edit photos?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what happens when you click on the Edit button at the bottom of the iPhoto window?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?
A universal fix for some issues is the following:
1 - reboot.
2 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
3 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
4 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

The webpageicons database may be corrupted. It can happen.
Quit Safari.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Safari/WebpageIcons.db
Click Go then move the WebpageIcons.db file to the Trash.
Relaunch Safari. It may take a day or two for webpageicons to re populate.

Why are the File Symbols of miniscule size?

If I control-click and select Show layout alternative (this may be an erronous retranslation from Swedish back to English: hope you can understand me anyhow) I find a screen for e g the Desktop showing various alternatives (Symbol size, space between symbols etc). Also Preview of symbols can be selected. If I select this option, the file symbols shrink to become almost invisible. I have not observed this behavior before. So I don't know what affects this change. Hope you can help me. I have made screen shots showing the difference. But I don't know how to attach them to this post.
Best regards,
Leif

Hello Myorse, Certainly screenshots would have helped. At this point, can suggest that you could try to use the 'slider' of the icon size to adjust the size. I tried to make this smallest on my computer and it reduced to size 16x16, which is small but not 'almost invisible' as you say. Try to move the slider and see if they spring back to visible size.
If that does not help, you might have to trash your preferences file.

Ai and eps will not open in Ai when you double click the file icon or drag onto to app icon

I get the following error messages when I double click the files icon or drag the file to the Ai app icon in the dock. The only way to open the files is via File > Open with in the app.
Photoshop and InDesign files open fine, it's just Illustrator.
The document “xyz.ai” could not be opened. Illustrator cannot open files in the “Adobe Illustrator Document” format.
The document “xyz.eps” could not be opened. Illustrator cannot open files in the “EPS File” format.
Running CS5.5 on Mavericks then Yosemite.

th1nk,
I believe the right order/way is to update the OS, then reinstall the applications. Was that how you did it?

Why does the file size change when put into an iDVD project? And problems with dual layer discs...

I exported a short video of mine from Final Cut Express and the size of the file came out to 7.3 GB. When I put it into an iDVD project, it says that the file is only 800 MB. I tried just burning it onto a dual layer disc anyway to see if it might still burn at the original file size, but the disc came out unusable for some reason, and obviously hadn't been burned anywhere near full-capacity. So, I tried it again, and the exact same thing happened.
I guess my first question is: why is iDVD changing the size of the file? I want the quality to be the best it can be, so keeping it at 7.3 GB as opposed to 800 MB is rather important.
Secondly, why did the dual layer discs come out unusable? I've burned single layer discs before and they haven't been an issue. Also, I know for a fact that the drive can burn dual layer discs, so that isn't the issue.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can provide me with help on this issue.

Guessing here but it looks like you edited/exported an SD/DV sequence of about 30 min in FCE. DVD needs to be MPEG-2 so iDVD compresses the original file down to the size that you report.

The quality will be what the MPEG-2 compression and the software allow for. MPEG-2 is DVD standard .... there's no way around that.

Guessing again but it would seem that you burned a Data DVD instead of a Video DVD which would be unusable by a set-top player. As I said above you can't get around DVD standards.
If by any chance your video was HD originally you can try to go the Blu-Ray route using Roxio Toast or FCS 3 (discontinued) or FCP X. You will also need a Blu-Ray burner.

HT4306 Why does the ping icon show next to some songs that I purchase and prevent me from burning onto a CD for my own personal use?

Hi. I am having trouble burning songs that I have purchased from the itunes store onto a CD for my own personal use in my car. Why is the ping icon next to some of the songs I purchase,When I try to burn these songs I am told by a pop up that these songs can't be found, but they are in my itunes music list.I don't understand. Please advise me asap. hx Wendy159

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .
