Why has my dashboard icon changed to the application icon

my dashboard icon has changed in my applications from a speedometer to paper and pencils and i can t change it back no matter what i try.
can someone please help me figure this out.

i think the same thing happened to me. When I first got my laptop (a few months ago) the app folder was a baby blue colored folder on the bottom right corner of my dock. It's still there now, but now I also see the same letter "A" in a circle, like the shape of the safari and speedometer, right next to my smiley face3 finder icon. I went to open the "Finder" and immediately noticed the A in the circle just to the right of it that was never there before!!!

    I also forgot to note that this problem also persists with the new iBooks application. I cannot get past the 'Get Started' screen or access the iBooks Store. Again, all top bar menus are unresponsive.

  • Why has my ipad lost connectivity to the AT&T cellular data network after upgrading to iOS 8.1.2?  My iPad is model #MD367LL/A, 32 GB WIFI + Cellular, about 2-1/2 years old.

    Why has my ipad lost connectivity to the AT&T cellular data network after upgrading to iOS 8.1.2?  My iPad is model #MD367LL/A, 32 GB WIFI + Cellular, about 2-1/2 years old. It;s been working perfectly up until now.  I have no problem on my home WIFI, or through personal hotspot working through my iPhone 5.
    I have worked with AT&T, replaced the SIM card with a new one, and done a backup/restore to factory settings, all with the same result that when I turn Cellular
    Data on, with or without Enable LTE, it goes into "searching" mode, or reports "no service".  My iPhone 5 works perfectly on iOS 8.1.2, on Cellular.  I've browsed the blogs and have tried Apple's suggested fix, all to no result. 
    Oddly enough, every once in a while I do get connected to the network for a short ime (minutes), but it always returns to "searching".
    I've filed a report with Apple, along with a request that they contact me, but no results yet.
    Help? (and thank you).

    Hello razmee209.  Thank you for your response.  I spent the better part of yesterday working with Apple Support.  They tried their best, to include backing up photos to my HP laptop, backing up the iPad to iCloud, then resetting the iPad in total.  Same problem.  I restored from the cloud to recover my apps, same problem.
    AT&T installed a new sim card - same problem.  I spent time with AT&T Support yesterday, too.  In both cases, (Apple and AT&T) the support techs who worked with me were extremely polite, courteous and helpful to the best of their abilities, but I think the problem lies deeper, and nobody at Apple is admitting they have a problem with iOS 8, that I'm aware of.
    I didn't have this issue before I upgraded to iOS 8.1.2.
    Everything else with the iPad works fine:  WIFI, Personal Hotspot, email, all my apps, etc.
    In browsing the web for this issue I see that many other folks have the same problem.  I filed a report with Apple this morning, requesting that they contact me, but no word yet.  I was going to go to iPhone 6, and had been considering the iPad Air 2, but I see reports of this problem with those units as well.
    At this point I don't think I'll be spending any more money with Apple, at least not till this issue is resolved.
    Thanks again for your response and suggestions.

  • Why does a bar sometimes appear below the Firefox icon in my tray?

    Why does a thick bar appear under the Firefox icon in my tray. I cannot correlate its appearance to anything I'm doing online.

    Try to reinstall Firefox.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
    *Firefox 32.0.1: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
    Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

  • Why do my bookmarks keep changing to the default every time I close Safari?

    Why do my bookmarks keep changing to the default every time I close Safari and why does my history keep clearing?
    I want to save my bookmarks for my favorite pages but every time I close Safari the default ones (Apple, iCloud, Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia, Yahoo, News and Popular) re appear.
    Basicaly I want Google instead of Twitter and Yahoo and I also don't want it to keep clearing my history.

    Step one is to log into a newly created admin user account and see if the problem persists.

    In the videos on the website I have seen a thumbnail icon next to the bookmarks icon for viewing all your open web pages. Mine is missing.Any idea why or how do I put one on?

    Safari now uses tabs in iOS 5 so that icon is no longer in Safari. You have to tap on the + sign on the right side of the toolbar to create a new tab. You can open a new web site in that tab. You navigate from open page to open page by tapping on the tabs.
    To close a tab - tap on the X in the left side of the tab.

    Thank you now how do I get the songs on to the flash drive?
    Insert the flash drive into the other computer, and open it so it looks like a window.  Highlight the songs you want in his iTunes, and drag them into that window.
    That will cause them to copy onto the flash drive, and will not affect his library.
    If you normally run iTunes in full-screen mode, make it smaller so that you can do the drag.
    Then insert the flash drive into your computer.  Find your Automatically Add to iTunes folder (it is inside the iTunes media folder) and drag the songs into it.

  • How do I change the taskbar icon to use the new icon?

    I created an icon (Visual Studio 2013) that I placed on the Windows 7 taskbar a month ago. 
    I have changed the icon.  The new icon displays correctly when I place a shortcut on my desktop. 
    When I unpin the old icon, and drag the new icon to the taskbar, it displays the old icon. 
    When I run the program from the taskbar, the program displays the new icon.  However, the old icon remains on the taskbar.
    How do I change the taskbar icon to use the new icon?

    It's because they're cached.
    The cache will usually be refreshed only when you reboot.
    You can, however, force a refresh.
    Choose run, type or paste in:
    ie4uinit.exe -ClearIconCache

  • Changing the "applications" icon without Candy Bar...

    ... and without the icon reverting to its original upon restart. Is it possible? If yes, would someone be so kind as to give detailed instructions. I would be most appreciative.
    New mac user, please be kind.
    PowerBook, 15 inch   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Thanks for the prompt response.
    I did search the topic prior to posting and found similar advice. This process has worked well for all of my icon substitutions with the exception of the "Applications" icon in the Finder. After restarting my computer, I find the this icon reverts to its default.
    Any suggestions?

  • How to restore the application icon

    I need to know how to restore the application icon back to my Macbook.  I need to download firefox and can not do so becuase the application icon is not showing up. 

    In the first place, the Firefox installer has an alias to the Applications folder in its window - you simply drag the fox icon onto that.
    I'm assuming that the missing icon you're looking for is the one from the Dock?
    If so, select Macintosh HD in the sidebar, find the Applications folder and drag it into the Dock (to the right of the line), being careful not to release the mouse until the other icons move aside for it. If you do that right, the Applications folder will remain in Macintosh HD, and you'll have shiny new alias to it in the Dock.

  • I cannot open itunes store from my iphone 4s. When I press the application icon it seems to be open at first but then automatically return to the main menu. What can be the problem?

    I cannot open itunes store from my iphone 4s. When I press the application icon it seems to be open at first but then automatically return to the main menu. What can be the problem?

    Logout of the app store and iTunes store: Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Go back to home screen and  reset the phone by pressing the sleep/wake and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears then release them.
    Once phone has finished rebooting go back to  Settings>iTunes & App Store and login with your Apple ID and password again. Then open the iTunes Store app again.

  • A breakpoint has been reached (0x80000003) occurred in the application at location 0x07c79240

    Hi everyone,
    I got an error when I was clicking around in my program.
    The following error message came up:
    The exception breakpoint
    A breakpoint has been reached
    (0x80000003) occurred in the application at location 0x07c79240
    I don't know but is it possible that it has something to do with an other program that is running on the PC?
    It would be nice if someone got a solution or can help me a little bit further.
    Hope to hear from you soon.
    Regards,

    Hi Kenny,
    I couldn't find much information regarding this problem. An external search delivered results of different programs bumping into this very same Windows error message. A clean installation (in most cases) was delivering a solution. But first of all;
    - how often does this problem appear? Does it appear in Labview in general or in a specific exe / VI?
    - which operating system are you using?
    - which Labview version are you using?
    If it is in a specific VI / exe we can try to strip it down. Does the application use any drivers (DAQmx etc)?
