Yosemite showing old icons for Hard Disks and Disk images

Hey all,
I'm running OS X Yosemite, all fully up to date, based on an upgrade install from Mavericks. Everything's basically fine, with the exception that any sort of disk icon (Internal, USB, Disk Images etc) all still use the old Mavericks style icons.
Not a major issue but kind of irritating me at the minute, I could go through and manually change them but I still get the old ones appear when a new disk connects.
This behaviour is exclusive to my user account as when I set up a second user to investigate all icons were the new 'flat' style.
Has anyone come across this, and if so did you find a resolution?

Mine look the same.  Were they suppose to change?

  • Automatically generate thumbnail image icons for all pix and vids...

    hello,
    i've searched around on the forums a bit about making the icons of my pics and vids actual thumbnail images made from the picture or the first frame of the video.
    a lot of responses are mistaking this question for "how do i put the window into icon view?" this infact is not the answer that i suspect a lot of windows converts are looking for.
    windows automatically makes such icons for all pix and vids if you put the window into icon view.
    i notice in at cmd-j or in the window preferences there is a checkbox for "show image preview" or something like that, but despite this being checked, my pix and vids do not show an image preview. i'm gathering that this information does not exist in the resource fork which mac uses to organize photos.
    is there any script or addition i can make to my system to automatically generate icons for pics and vids of all types? how to i suggest to mac that they add this functionality into the next release?
    thanks for your time,
    max

    The Finder will create icons "on the fly" for nearly all graphic type files (jpegs, tiff, psd, and so on) and display them in both icon view and column view, provided the appropriate view preference has been set. Movies will just have the generic movie icon in icon view, and have a "live" preview in column view, ie you can play them in preview mode. If you want to add a permanent thumbnail which will display in all views, and whether or not the preference has been set for a particular folder in Finder, you'll need to add a thumbnail to the file. There are lots of ways to do this for static pictures, even rather clumsy ways to do it for movies, but the easiest thing is to get CocoThumbX:
    http://www.stalkingwolf.net/software/cocothumbx/
    Drag and drop both static pictures and movie files onto the application and a permanent thumbnail is created. Indeed, it will create cool thumbs even for things like PDF and HTML files (code or rendered display). For movies to get a thumb, they must be in a format that QuickTime can read. It has a set of preferences for just how you want the thumb determined (eg random or at a certain time), and you can drop batches of movies or even folders to have it assign thumbs to multiple movies at the same time. It is a way cool piece of shareware.

  • Lost icon for Settings, Safari and Email

    I have lost the icons for the following, and probably more.  Settings, Safari and email. 
    I have done what might be called a "hard reset" by holding down both buttons at the same time. 
    I cannot use iTunes to restore, as it will not allow me to do so. 
    I have looked in every icon that holds a few programs, and the lost icons are not there.
    I understand that scrolling will help find the settings icon, because it is there somewhere, but I have scrolled ad nauseum, and it isn't there. 
    I don't mind wiping it, but don't know how to do it.  This is on the original iPad.

    I am not sure I can offer any more help. It seems very odd that you can't find the installed icons anywhere. Just to make sure, you did not see anything in the task bar when you swiped through it? Did you have a search page and what happened when you tried to search for 'settings'. When I try that in my ipad, I will get a listing for my settings icon that I can tap and it will take me to settings.

  • Why do my raw images (fr Nikon d800e) show up bright for 1 second and then darken in Aperture?

    I'm new to this site so I apologize for the long question.  When I import raw files from my Nikon D800e into Aperture (3.2.3), they show up bright for one second and then darken slightly.  Is this normal?  It didn't happen with raw files from my Nikon D300.  I have to adjust the brightness and exposure to make them bright again.  thanks, Mike

    One of the changes in Aperture 3 as it has evolved, is to first use the Preview generated by the camera.  It waits to generate its own Preview until you actually click to display that one image.  Until then the thumbnails are based upon the camera provided JPEG Preview.
    In earlier versions, you never saw that, but only the initial Preview generated in Aperture.  It is not because of the different camera.
    Btw, if you are using 10.8.2, why have you not updated to Aperture 3.4.3?

  • HT201210 i want to use my old iphone for playing music and it wont sync

    i want to use my old iphone for playing music and it wont sync

    Another thing to remember is the phone is actually usable for 911 calls and maybe others. Not a real good idea. Especially for a child.
    It would depend however on the age of the child.
    Good Luck

  • Seagate 1.5 TB external hard drive and Disk Utility

    I have a Seagate 1.5 TB external hard drive. Up until recently it was working fine. I noticed that things stored on it were starting to take longer to open up. There was a relatively constant clicking noise on it, not just when Time Machine was backing up my files. I finally ran Disk Utility and it said that the volume needed to be repaired. Ever since that time the hd is not showing up on my desktop or in my finder. I used the startup disk and went into disk utility but it doesn't appear there. When I turn on the computer in regular mode and go to disk utility it is there, though. When I click "Repair Disk", though, nothing happens. Any suggestions? Do I need to just erase the disk and reformat? I was able to use a program called Data Rescue to get the most important files, but I'd rather not start from scratch.

    Hi jc
    Can't say exactly what's wrong or what happened. But sense you have recovered your important files your best bet is to just reset the Partition Scheme and re-Format the drive instead of trying to repair it.
    1. select the drives first icon and then click the Partition tab
    2. under Volume Scheme: for current select 2 Partitions +(2 in your case, 1 for TM and 1 for other files)+
    3. now adjust the size of partitions by clicking on and holding the little dot between the partitions. +(you will probably want to allocate at least 1GB for time machine and the rest for misc. files)+
    4. click the Option button right below that and select GUID Partition Table, then the OK button
    5. then under Volume Information Name the Partitions the larger Time Machine, the smaller whatever
    6. then for Format: select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Apply button.
    Optionally if you have say over 500GB of data on your Internal HD it would be best to set that 1.5GB up with just 1 Partition for Time Machine only and use a second drive for misc. files.
    Now that you have the External HD properly Partitioned and Formatted open the Time Machine Preference and set it up to use the Time Machine Partition.

  • Hard Drive and Disk Image not mounting

    Hey everyone,
    I'm running a G5 Dual 2Ghz. with OSX 10.5.8 I'm having problems with a back up hard drive. It is an external Western Digital My Book 1.5TB SATA drive. After using it for a few months, it suddenly did not mount anymore.
    *1) It also would not appear in Disk Utility.*
    a) Disk Warrior couldn't find the drive (I think because it's formatted with FAT32)
    *2) I then took the drive out of the enclosure and put it in the spare bay in the G5.*
    a) It didn't mount
    b) It did show up in Disk Utility
    c) In Disk Utility it wouldn't give me the option to Repair Disk Permissions or Repair Disk
    d) In Disk Utility is says under Partition Scheme: Unformatted
    e) In Disk Utility I don't have the option to mount/eject only gives me the "info" option
    f) Tech Tool did find the drive and it passed all tests
    g) Disk Warrior still did not find the drive
    h) TestDisk finds the drive, but does not find any partitions
    *3) I then created a disk image of the drive in Disk Utility onto an external hard drive. The image comes back at 320GB, which seems to be about right I think.*
    a) The disk image would not mount with Disk Image Mounter. It would say there is an Unrecognized File System
    b) In Disk Utility - I don't have the option to Repair Disk Permissions
    c) In Disk Utility - When trying to Repair Disk - I get the error: Repairing Disk failed with error Unrecognized FileSystem
    d) In Disk Utility - If I click Open - The Log file says:
    +Attach Image+
    Initializing...
    Verifying...
    Finishing...
    +Image of "disk0.dmg" attached successfully+
    +Mount of "disk0.dmg" succeeded+
    -But it is no where to be found
    e) Disk Warrior can not find the Disk Image
    f) I took the new external drive with the Disk Image to 3 other mac computers but the image would not mount
    *4. Other things I've tried when opening the Disk Image for the new external drive.*
    a) in Terminal - hdiutil attach -nomount "volumes/untitled/disk0.dmg"
    b) in Terminal - sudo hdiutil attach -nomount "volumes/untitled/disk0.dmg"
    c) Deleting files System/Library/Extensions.kextcache
    System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernalcaches
    ALL UNSUCCESSFUL
    I'm running very low on ideas. I know I could just erase the drive and reformat it, but the files on it are very important and must be recovered.
    Any help or suggestions would be very helpful. I will not have time until after the weekend to try more things. Thanks in advance if you do not hear back from me until after this weekend.

    Yes, it will. But if DU says the disk is unformatted then it is also not accessible. If you have files you don't wish to lose then you will need to try recovery software:
    Basics of File Recovery
    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
