Why has my icon changed to an A on my Mac dashboard and how do I get the original back?

The Firefox icon (fox /earth) which has been on my Mac's Dashboard forever has changed to a stylized "A" made up of a ruler pencil and brush. I know not why. I would like to revert to the original. Why has this happened and how can I go back. I'm using version 9.0.1 on a Mac with OSX 10.6.8.

Hi bitoruf,
I've seen this happen periodically, but it's pretty easy to fix. Just delete the icon from your dock. Then recreate it by dragging the Firefox icon into the doc from the applications folder.
Hopefully this helps!

I tried powering off and on and it went away, but I can't tell if it's been broken into since everything works fine (I'm using it now) is there a test to see if it's been broken into?
Thanks for all your replies!

Is the MacBook the computer you have synced with in the past? If not you can use the computer that you have synced with to restore your apps. Are you sure you are using the same Apple ID that you used to purchase the Apps?

HT1414 i have just upgraded to iOS7 and when pdating my apps some have not saved data and others have. Why would this be and how do I get the data back?

I have just upgraded to iOS7 and when I open my apps some have data saved and some (Eden, Survivalcraft) do not. My son is distraught that all his hard work has gone so does anyone know why this would be and how do I fix it please?

Nevermind. Problem solved. They were there. I just couldn't see them.

I purchased an album and it has disappered from my iPod however other purchased items are showing. How can I get the album back? It is not on my computer on the itunes library due to the computer wiping all contents.

My ipod touch lost all its data due to my computer crashing and having to be rebooted.
This resulted in all software being wiped - including iTunes. Therefore, I lost all my music, apps etc on my library on the computer. I then synced my iPod into the computer which then updated the ipod software and then it cleared all my music.
However, I managed to find my music on the purchased list and was able to re download it.
Although, I'm aware that one album did not apper on the purchased playlist - I have an email to prove that I purchased this album however, it is not appearing to allow for me to download it.
I am pretty sure that this is not the only album but due to the amount of music I previously had on my iPod it is difficult to tell what is missing.
Is there anything I can do to get all my previous music back?
Is there anything I can do by contacting Apple to see if they can help?
Would greatly appreciate any help whatsoever! Just about pulling my hair out - due to no available phone calls until next thursday and NO email address to contact!

Thanks very much I have contacted them via this. Just hope they respond quickly- rather annoing! Greatly appreciated though

Because the photoshop elements 10 change language now install Yosemite on mac? and how to find out the license activation key in app store bought apple

Help me, please

There is no activation key in the app store version. If you want to qualify for an upgrade version from adobe you use your apple ID for your Adobe ID. Otherwise it's irrelevant. Not sure what you're asking about Yosemite. Yes, you may have the language problem and whether or not you can sort it depends on your preferred language for PSE. People have had some success switching it back to English, but very little with other languages.

* Make sure that you have the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then see if you can find them in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window
* If you see the item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window to one of the toolbars.
* If, in "View > Toolbars > Customize", you do not see that item then click the "Restore Default Set" button

My icons on my desktop are white with an @ sign in them. How do I get the originals back?

I have 2 questions:
1. How do I find out how much usable memory I have Left on my computer?
2. The icon on my desktop have a @ in them how do I get the original back?

1. Open a Finder window and it will tell you how much free space you have on your hard drive - which I presume is what are referring to, memory is RAM.
2. Try repairing permissions, then restarting.

I just noticed that some of the movies I had in iTunes did not get transferred to the iPhone. The missing movies are shown as generic movie icons in the iTunes panel. How do I get the original movies to show up again and transfer to the iPhone?

I just noticed that some of the movies I had in iTunes did not get transferred to the iPhone 5. The missing movies are shown as generic movie icons in the iTunes panel and are checked to select them. But they do not show up in iPhone Videos. How do I get the original movies to show up again and transfer to the iPhone? I recently upgraded Mac OS to 10.6.8

1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

I deleted the playlists on my iPhone and when I now try to synchronize with my iTunes account to put the music back, nothing happens and I do not get the music back on my iPhone. Anyone who knows why that could be? Grateful for any suggestions!

I know it sounds weird, and that is the reason I posted my question. Because my case is not like all the ones I've found online and it's confusing. I added a screen capture of my itunes with my old iphone (the one that houses my playlists) connected to it.
My playlists "ARE" in my iphone 4s. They are still there even though they do not show up when I plug in to itunes in my computer.
When connecting my phone to itunes on my macbook, the playlists do not appear anywhere in itunes. I have found my connected iphone icon, I have clicked on the arrow next to it and it does pull up the standard lists that come with the iphone/itunes: Music, Movies, TV shows, books. That's it! below that is "Genius" and below "Geniuns" is "PLAYLISTS" but the only playlist of mine that shows there is one that I created several years back titled "90's music" and that one I created it on my computer, not my phone. Under "90's music" there are also other standard playlists that itunes automatically adds.
Does anyone else have this issue or know how to get around this. I am starting to think that I am going to have to recreate these lists on my computer

The text in a lot of my books I have downloaded in IBooks has disappeared. It is mostly the older books on my IPad. The books are there but the text is missing. How do I get the text back?

On my IPad, the books I have downloaded are there; however, the text has disappeared. It only happened with the books that were older. Any idea how I can get the text back on these books?

Try closing the iBooks app. Press the home button to get to the home screen if you're not already there. Then double click the home button. Locate the iBooks icon at the bottom. Hold your finger down on it until a red minus appears. Tap the red minus. Press the home button to return to normal. Then relaunch iBooks.
If that fails, delete the books, then you can redownload them under the Purchased tab in "Store."

My iphone is broken,and i came to store to change a new one today. When I come home, I found I lost my backup and may be mistake is made during before backup.The information in my previous iphone is really important for me? how can I get the backup back?

If you don't have a backup then the only possible solution is to go back to the store and see if they can get your old phone and create a backup of that. I know very often that Apple employees will wipe the returned iPhones clean before shipping them back to wherever they ship them.
When you say your old phone was "broken" does this mean it is dead and won't turn on?
Do you have a Time Machine backup of your computer, or a clone that might have this info on it?
Other than that I hate to say you may be out of luck. Time Machine and/or a cloning program performed regularily will inevitably save your a** in situations like this.
Good luck

The bookmarks toolbar is there but has no item buttons on it. How do I get the items back for this toolbar? Also would like to know if the toolbars can be put on the same line to make more room on the page (drag & drop) ??

The bookmarks toolbar is there but has no item buttons on it. How do I get the items back for this toolbar?
Also would like to know if the toolbar can be put on the same line to make more room on the page (drag & drop) ?? Like the menu & bookmarks toolbar could/should fit on same line. This would add more page view...
Floyd Perry
Thanks

Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* Make sure that you have the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" then click the "Restore Default Set" button
You can only move the content from a toolbar onto other toolbars if all toolbars support that feature. You need to check that in the options of each toolbar.
