Yosemite thumbnail icons missing

Since upgrading to Yosemite in my early-2013 MBP 13" Retina, most of the identifying icons on my desktop thumbnails (the row of open desktops arranged at the top of the screen when three-finger sweeping up on the touchpad) are missing, even for Apple apps like Calendar, Contacts, iBooks, and sometimes Safari. The only icon regularly appearing is for Mail. Very annoying to have to click each thumbnail to maximize to see what's in each desktop! The only identifier shown is Desktop 1, Desktop 2, etc, and that appears only when mousing over the thumbnails -- not very helpful. I don't see any options within any of the non-identified apps to turn on thumbnail icons. Icons appear normal in the dock, though

Start up in Safe Mode.  http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1564
Best.

  • Thumbnails/icons missing...partially resolved...maybe not fw related....

    Ok so it appears this issue only occurs if I access the ix4 300d using the Storage Manager program. If I access the ix4 300d using the Storage Connector client all icons/thumbnails are visible. Anyone else able to confirm the issue is then related to the Storage Manager software and probably not the new firmware?
    Anyway I'll just use the 'Connector' software from now on....

    Sorry, I normally had 'Press T' for toolbar, when talking about it, but had the impression you were already seeing it, just not everything associated with it.

  • In the videos I've seen a thumbnail icon next to the bookmarks icon. Mine is missing. Any idea why or how to get it.

    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.

  • IPhoto thumbnails are missing

    A few hours ago I imported a new movie into iMovie. Something went wrong and now all of my iMovie thumbnails are missing from iPhoto in the event area. The only movies I see are ones I imported, nothing from iPhoto is showing anymore. When I click on the camera icon and go to the folder where my movies are in iPhoto nothing shows up. And for some reason my movie is stalling now when I play it where as before it was playing smoothly, well the movie I have so far.
    I have tried to delete the iMovie cache file, it took 3 hours to rebuild my thumbnails and they were still not there. I deleted the new files I imported into iPhoto and emptied the trash. Any idea how to fix it? I don't really need all the old thumbnails back as long as I can reinsert them and it doesn't look like iMovie can see them anymore. I wouldn't even care about that if my current movie wasn't stalling, I can hear the sound but the picture pauses. Anyone?

    Hi
    Just thinking - Have You tested to turn off Your Mac and re-boot from zero ?
    In many cases this helps - might do so now too.

  • After upgrading to Yosemite web icons in Safari bookmark list have disappeared

    After upgrading to Yosemite web icons in Safari bookmarks have disappeared. Anybody know how to reset this?

    Hi ..
    The webpage icons database may be corrupted as a result of the upgrade.
    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.
    Quit and relaunch Safari.
    It may take up to a day for your webpage icons to re populate.

  • Airplay Icon missing from iTunes 11.0.2.26 (PC) and Genius Sidebar

    After upgrading to iTunes 11.0.2.26 my Airplay icon is missing. I've tried the simple fix that reportedly works where you switch to mini player, see the Airplay icon and then it stays when you switch to normal mode.
    Firstly the icon does appear but it is grayed out and only pops up a volume control. It does not detect, display, or allow you to select output devices, Second, it is still missing from the normal size window.
    This has been tried with and without restarting iTunes as well as reinstalling iTunes. I'd go for a downgrade but then it fails to work with the new iPads at all. I discovered that with my first iPad mini where it required an iTunes upgrade.
    Genious Sidebar
    I figured Id just downgrade to 10.6.3 to get the genius sidebar back afterwards. WRONG, it will not synch or do anything without the newer versions of the iTunes software. Genius sidebar was the best thing about the software and they kept taking it away, brought it back for a few versions, then took it away again. It was and remains my favorite way to shop for new music. The remaining so called genius functions are just plain lame.
    Airplay Icon Missing from Itunes on PC
    I can hit my Airplay devices such as Apple TV and Zeppelin Air with iPads, iPods, and iPhones. Just not from the PC Console where is previously enjoyed it the most. So I know the devices are fine. They are all on the same physical wired and wireless network. Even when I put the Zeppelin on the wired LAN there is no Airplay icon in iTunes on the PC.

AND THER SHE WAS fiew windows updates uninstalled and icon is back in itunes
    Now i can not remember what Update it was KB28 ..... something i didnt wright it down at the time i hope this will help someone.

  • Generic Icon vs. Thumbnail Icon

    What would cause a photo (jpeg file) to show up in Finder with an icon that is a thumbnail of the actual photo vs. a generic icon? The two cases seem to lead to different behavior in a plug-in that I use (Mail Attachments Iconizer) in Mail. When attached to an email, the files with thumbnail icons open up in the body of the email whereas the files with generic icons do not (which is the desired behavior)?
    Thanks.

    That doesn't appear to be the case. Show Icon Preview is unchecked. Furthermore, other jpeg files in the same folder have generic icons.
    I should add that the files with thumbnail view as icons were edited in Photoshop in OS 10.4 (my second drive boots into 10.4 to allow me to use an older version of Photoshop). This folder is on a partition of my 10.5 drive. I am viewing the folder in 10.5 That could be why these files show up differently, but I don't understand why it should be so.

  • Using the file icon instead of the Thumbnail icon

    is it possible to use the file icon instead of the thumbnail icon on the desktop? If so, how?
    Thanks,

    View menu --> Show view options --> Show Icon preview --> uncheck it

  • After a rebuild/repair of my photo library thumbnails are missing for RAW images.

    Every few months I rebuild my iPhoto library to make sure the database stays clean and up to day. This time was different though - after the rebuild/repair of my photo library thumbnails are missing for all RAW images (Canon). Images from other cameras and jpegs are all fine. Only the events with Canon RAW images have no thumbnails.
    I am rebuilding the thumbnails once again but has anyone else seen this issue? Losing thumbnails to RAW images during a rebuild?

    Every few months I rebuild my iPhoto library to make sure the database stays clean and up to day.
    There is no need to do this. It doesn't achieve anything.
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work

  • CS4 Extended - Some Icons missing

    Hi there,
    there are some icons missing regarding the control if the opened files ( see attached image link ).
    I tried reinstall but without success.
    http://img383.imageshack.us/my.php?image=iconsle0.jpg
    ANy ideas?
    regards,
    malojo

    I had the same problem. It also caused some issues in CS3 with the selection tools.
    Remove Nik software if it's present in your plugins folder. For me the specific folder that fixed it was named "penpalette." Once I deleted this the icons came back and the program worked much better and more smoothly.

  • [solved] Gnome/GTK icons missing

    Hey,
    yet another icon missing topic, but I didn't find anything similar to my problem in this forum.

    http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/7168 … gicon3.png
    As you can see, icons are missing not only in the gnome menu, but also
    in firefox (gtk app). Therefore, I think the problem is more related to GTK?!
    Yes, I tried serveral icon themes and engines, no success.
    1. Anyone out there who got the same problem?
    Because laptop and desktop have the same issue.
    2. Any further information about this issue?
    3. Any suggestions/advices?
    Thanks in advance,

  • [Solved] Gnome 3 Shell - Icons Missing After Update

    After my last update session, some icons went missing in Gnome. Even more unsettling, only some are missing. From what I can tell, my application icons haven't gone anywhere, but things such as minimize, restore, close, etc. are 404. Here's a photo to explain: https://vps.nullh.net/uploads/gnome-icon-issue.png I also noticed nvidia is included in the last update. I searched the forums, but all of the other problems seemed to be different problems (e.g. application icons were all bunched up/missing, desktop icons "missing", etc.) I feel like I should probably have more icons in the folders, too, but I haven't looked in there before the problem to be sure. Also, Alt+F2 "r" doesn't make a difference, the shell reloads but the icons are still AWOL. If anyone has any ideas, I am all ears.

  • Nokia Maps Icon Missing?

    Good day everyone.
    i have just bought this new Nokia Asha 303 phone and i thought the software installed in the phone is incomplete because i cant seem to find the shortcut for nokia maps. I installed the nokia suite in my pc and check  for software updates and it is up to date. I already tried factory reset, but nothing, still the same. Is it possible to restore the missing icon? thanks for any help.
    sorry for bad english

    Right after having my new phone I started exploring its possibilities testing applications from Ovi store. At some point I got some problems with an application so I decided it would be a good idea to try a reset... I first try with an app settings reset to defaults (from the s40 Configuration menu, not the Restoring Factory Defaults menu)... right after that I realized I didn't have Nokia Maps icon in any of the lists of installed applications, nor I could found any loader in both file units, phone and memory card, for it... I was not 100% sure the icon vanished after settings reset, but I supposed it, so I thought something went definitely wrong and I decided to try reset to factory defaults as I just started testing the phone so I hadn't any information saved there to lose... what I could not expect it's that a factory reset will not yield the software at the same very state as what I received short time before. In addition to not getting back the Nokia Maps icon, I noticed another difference in the system, I have an Introduction icon in the list of default applications, that triggers a video playback showing the phone basics... now when I push that button, the playback starts but only for the audio, and instead of the video I show a black screen with a NOKIA logo in the center, the same very screen I see when boot up the phone. I've seen https://betalabs.nokia.com/trials/nokia-maps-suite/bugreport/46316/nokia-map-icon-missing-after-inst... this problem is not happening only on s40 OS phones, but at least on Symbian^3 phones they had a stand alone installer to install back the app http://betalabs.nokia.com/trials/ovi-maps-for-mobile-v3-08 Something like this seems what s40 OS phone users like me are needing.
