Wrong preview icon and image in finder

I recently upgraded my computer - now running snow leopard 10.6.8. I have noticed that when I save files in certain applications (eg. ai CS5 files)  the preview icon in finder windows is not of the application but just a blank page icon instead. Also on the desktop it's just a blank doc page not the ai. icon.
I have managed to manually alter a few files by clicking and dragging the ai. icon in the Get Info window from the bar to the ai. icon beneath and the application icon does remain then but each new file has the same problem - I don't want to keep altering them manually for every file.
A second, related (I suppose) problem is that the actual preview image in the finder window is wrong - not the last saved image (or even a previously saved image) but a combination of several turned off layers in the case of ai. files. The preview image is wrong also if opening direct from illustrator CS5.
Thanks for any ideas.

Yes this is one of those commands that takes off on it's own.  That is why I specified to let it run it coarse and will put you back out at the prompt when complete.  Sounds like you did it correctly.
I would advise booting off install DVD and run both Repair Disk and Repair Permissions.

If you ran the delta update through the Software updater,  I would reinstall the 10.6.8 combo on top of what you have.  Many curious anomaly can be straightened out with this:  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Still repair permissions before and after Combo-Update.

  • Using SharePoint icons and images in commercial application

  • Mavericks has botched preview icons and codec support

    Preview icons for png files are not showing in finder since installing Mavericks. In Snow Leopard they were fine. Even certain jpg files won't show the preview icon. Joke. Anyone know how to fix this? Also, I used to be able to get wmv preview icons if I installed flip4mac and perian on Snow Leopard; Now, no siree. Of course, Once again, Apple. Thanks. Let's see how many years it'll take to fix this if at all..... an yes, I tried going to finder view > show view options and clicking on the icon preview box. It was already checked. but I did click on it a few times for the **** of it, of course that didn't help.

    Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Missing APPLICATIONS & FILE Icons and can't find my themes

    Please help.  I have a 3rd party application that I downloaded as required to my computer & now I need to transfer 5 files (JAR & TAR) files to my phone.  It says to follow the path: files/media card/ Blackberry/new_phones.In the instructions it says to go to "Applications" icon and click, then "file" icon and click which will bring up ALL files, then click on "File Folders"  then Media Card, then Blackberry  then press new_phones, then click new phones again and I should see the files I need to set permissions on. I do not find a APPLICATION OR FILE ICON.  I can go to Options, then advanced options and then applications but when I get there nothing says FILE. I have already put everything back to factory settings thinking maybe they were deleted at some point but there is still NO icons for these.  I really do need some help installing these files to my phone.  I dont mind if someone wants to remote into my computer to help me even.  And since I reset everything to factory settings, I can't get to ABOUT to find out what OS that I am using or when I went to set  a new theme that I just downloaded it only has one BB theme (BB Dimension Zen), the new one I just downloaded isn't even showing up.   PLEASE help me fix my mess up and install the files to the phone. Thanks in advance.

    It sounds like you essentially have a new computer and unless you restored from a backup your iTunes library would be empty.  You can transfer your iTunes purchases from your iPod to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    SInce you changed syncing computers. after you move the stuff you need to restore the iPod to factory defaults and sync the stuff back to your iPod.  If you had the iPod backup file you could restore from backup.
    If you have non-iTunes pruchases you can copy them to your computer by using one of the third-party programs discussed in this previous discussion:

  • [SOLVED] Certain icons and images no longer display

    After updating about 10 minutes ago, various icons and my desktop background don't display. It's a problem with libpng I think. On a related note, google-chrome wasn't displaying it's icons properly b/c it was using /usr/lib/nx/lib/libpng instead of /usr/lib/libpng. There's two libpng12's. How can this be fixed?

  • Bridge CS6 - extremely slow preview updates and image deleting

    1. Updating previews (100%) is very slow.
    Bridge CS6 has problems updating the previews of images that get edited.
    While creating preview from scratch is rather swift, updating previews takes about six minutes on a MacBook Pro retina with 16Gb RAM.
    After one minute the preview gets updated,  but then the busy signal in the low left corner just keeps turning and turning for five more minutes.
    Why is this happening? Is Bridge still busy with those previews? Why? The preview has already been updated, why those extra five minutes of business?
    2. Image deleting is painfully slow.
    You type Command + Delete, and nothing is happening for five, six seconds.
    Only then the images get deleted.
    Has anybody else noticed these two hold-ups?
    Edit:
    I just went back after writing and editing this post, and Bridge is still busy with the preview update. This is now 15 minutes after the image had been edited. The busy signal in the lower left corner just never turns off again.
    It feels like Bridge has also problems working in the background. As soon as you open e.g. a browser to bridge the waiting for bridge, Bridge seems to keep the busy signal rotating, but not actually doing anything until you close the browser again. Which is why I just had a 15 minute wait for an image preview to finally update. The time spent in the browser did not "count".

    Hi Noel,
    Yes, I did the upgrade, and I did not experience any problems.
    Only, the issues above were not fixed in the update.
    Are you not experiencing the same issues? (I'm on a Mac).
    C. Pfaffenbichler, I was actually looking for a dedicated Bridge forum, but I couldn't see a Bridge icon.

  • How do I view pdf icons as images in Finder?

    I hope I'm asking the right question, but when I'm trying to attach a photo to a email or upload to a web site I find that most of my images show up as pdf icons instead of image thumbnails in the search? Since I don't name all my photos, I really have no way of knowing what I'm attaching. Is there a setting that allows me to view them all as thumbnail images?

    Choose as List from the Finder's view menu and option-click the triangle to the left of the folder.

  • Can't play or preview music and movies in Finder window

    I notice I can't play or preview music in the finder window. When I hit "play", the slider moves, but I don't hear any sound. Music is playing fine in iTunes. I also can't preview and play movies in the finder, like .mov files. In addition, I can't play music in a slideshow in iPhoto. It is also mute there. Does anyone know what is wrong? I just got this MacBook and had done a firewire transfer of my application files from my iMac desktop. All the programs seem to be working fine except for this music and video problem. Is there a problem with quicktime?
    Thanks.

    Run Audio MIDI Setup (Utilities folder) and be sure output is set to 44,100Hz 16-bit, and the volume sliders are to the right.

  • How to add icons and images for my forms ?

    Hi everyone:
    My forms were upgraded from 6i to 11g. Then all customized images and icons can not display.
    Icon filename in property palette of forms and menus are the filename without path.
    Following http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B14099_19/web.1012/b14032/configure009.htm
    I set default.icons.iconpath to be a absolute path to all icons folder in Registry.dat, and make imageBase= documentbase in formsweb.cfg, doesn't work.
    What is the DocumentBase folder ? Is it $ORACLE_HOME/forms ??
    I also tried imageBase= codebase, package all images( gif files.) in a jar, store it into the forms/java directory. append icons.jar to archive parameter in formsweb.cfg. still doesn't work.
    What's the solution steps to do this please ?

    Frank,
    The preferred method of using Icons is to deploy them in a signed .jar file. The Oracle document you references is a little vague in this respect (paragraph 4.9.2.1). If you are going to use a jar file for your icons, you need to do the following:
    1) You must digitally sign the jar file (preferably with a Trusted Certificate - such as Verisign). You can use your own keystore, but you will get a Trusted Certificate warning in your application.
    2) Upload your <YOUR_ICON_FILE_NAME>.jar file to the %FORMS_HOME%/forms/java directory. If you use the default installation, the %FORMS_HOME% directory is typically "/Oracle_FRHome1".
    3) Update the default.env to include the full path to the jar file in the CLASSPATH variable.
    4) Then you need to update the following variables in the formsweb.cfg :
    4.1) archive=frmall.jar, <YOUR_ICON_FILE_NAME>.jar
    4.2) imageBase=codebase
    After making these changes I recommend restarting your WLS_FORMS instance to ensure the changes takes affect.
    Hope this helps.

  • Firefox in Windows 7 under a proxy do not show many icons and images in Google applications. Reinstall it does not solve the issue.

    Google applications (spreadsheet, ...) does not show the icons properly.
    Only when hovering over the buttons, the tip appear and you can see what does the button.
    Best regards

    Hello all
    Thank you very much!.
    I have tried the solution and it worked perfectly, both for Google search "Images" tab and for Google Docs icons. The problem was in the Google images and icons permissions.
    Other person in my company had the same problem and now it is solved. You have killed two birds with one stone (^_^).

    If anyone can tell me why urxvt is not shown in pypanel go ahead.
    Because it's tabbed. Try to change the SHOWALL (or whichever that is which defines which apps should be shown) setting to something else (it's been a long time since I used pypanel and had the very same problem, something like this solved it).
    But if I were you, I'd simply use docker as a tray app and bind client-list-combined-menu (which also pops up when middle clicking on your desktop) to a key-combination in rc.xml.
    Ok, thanks. Showall=2 kinda works (I can't minimize by clicking on the panel, but that's ok). I don't know what you mean with docker though, as I don't have urxvt in the tray. And to koch: there is a thread in the newbie corner .
    I fear that was a lot of off topic because of me now, sorry for that.

  • I lost my @ internet browser icon and can not find it. I have looked everywhere.  I even uninstalled/reinstalled my os and i still can not find it. Now I can not open more than one session unless i click a link in the existing session.

    I have looked everywhere for this icon.  I was looking at a video and all of a sudden my screen changed and I had a pop up asking me to hide.  I thought I was hiding the strange pop but my @ icon disappeared instead.  I looked in applications and do not see it anywhere. 

    If you mean the address field in Safari, choose Show Toolbar or Customize Toolbar from the View menu.
    If you mean the spring icon in the Dock, that's not an application. Open any site in Safari and drag the little icon of it to the Dock; the preset icon points to http://www.apple.com/macosx/
    rkaufmann87: The Safari Dock icon doesn't contain an @, and no other Mac web browser icon I've seen does.

  • I can't find tools, add-ons, Sync (tabs, bookmarks, etc.). I've clicked on every clickable thing. Where is all this stuff? I prefer a menu with words I can read rather than pictures I have to guess, but I've clicked on every icon and can't find anything.

    I just need someone to tell me how to access my add-ons, tools, options, Firefox Sync (including my tabs and bookmarks from other computers), and so on. Where did it all go?

    Do you see what is missing when you hit the '''Alt''' key on your keyboard?

    Hello Suzanil3726,
    It sounds like you would like to open another tab in Safari without closing the ones you already have open. The + symbol you are looking for to open another tab is in the upper right hand corner in Safari on the iPad using iOS 7.
