How to get the icons to display correctly in the Finder?

At the time of the "classic" Mac OS, if the icons are not correctly display in the Finder, we could 'rebuild the desktop file' to correct the problem. I've recently updated to Yosemite, and most things work well, but for some reason, most of the files in the Finder .webloc now show as blank icons (but not all; a few show the correct icon). There is no model, I can see: some very old .webloc files now show a white icon (where I know that their icons used to be correct), while the most recent show the icon of correct - although I just created four (by dragging the URL of the Safari, the usual method) which are all empty. Sometimes they appear with the older icon, with the symbol @ (although those who seem to have changed vacuum after running and restart maintenance). I tried from an external disk, repair permissions and repair the file system, as well as cleaning with the utility of Maintenance (which clears the web browser and other caches), nothing works. Does anyone know how to get the computer to display these icons correctly?

May be a corrupt .plist.

Make a backup, preferably 2 backups on 2 separate drives.

Go to Finder and select your user folder. With this Finder window as the windshield, select Finder/display/display options for presenting or order - J.  When the display options opens, check "show the library folder. This should make your visible user library folder in your user folder.  Select the library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.desktop.plist.  Move the .plists on your desktop.

Relaunch the Finder by restarting the computer and test. If it works fine, delete the plists from the desktop.

If the same, return the .plists to where you obtained since, by crushing the latest.

  • How to get the bar display of title in pixels text length?

    Hello

    Does anyone know how to get the length of the title bar text (in pixels) display?  Just to clarify, that's what I'm looking for:

    I don't see a CVI function for this.  The attribute ATTR_TITLE_FONT for GetPanelAttribute (...) is only valid for the panels of the child which prevents me from using the GetTextDisplaySize (...) to get the size.  Dive into the Windows SDK I can not even find an answer here.  Any ideas?  Thank you.

    Figured out how to do this.  Go to the SDK to get the font properties - is kind of nonobviousness.  But once you have the font properties, you can create a font of meta in CVI, with properties, and once you have the meta font you can use GetTextDisplaySize (...) to get the size.  For any future reference:

    //define a NONCLIENTMETRICS structureNONCLIENTMETRICS ncmtest;//We have to set the cbSize parameter to the size of the passed structure before retrieving it
    ncmtest.cbSize = sizeof(NONCLIENTMETRICS);
    //Get NONCLIENTMETRICS structure
    result = SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETNONCLIENTMETRICS, 0, &ncmtest, 0);
    
    //copy the title font name to a c-string
    while(ncmtest.lfCaptionFont.lfFaceName[i] != 0)
    {
        thefont[i] = (char)ncmtest.lfCaptionFont.lfFaceName[i];
        ++i;
    }
    
    //null terminate
    thefont[i] = '\0';
    
    //create meta font with title font properties.  lfWeight & 0x700 indicates bold.  CreateMetaFontWithCharacterSet() doesn't recognize DEFAULT_CHARSET so we replace it with VAL_NATIVE_CHARSET(?).
    uir_status = CreateMetaFontWithCharacterSet ("TheTitleFont", thefont, abs(ncmtest.lfCaptionFont.lfHeight), ncmtest.lfCaptionFont.lfWeight & 0x700 ? 1 : 0, ncmtest.lfCaptionFont.lfItalic, ncmtest.lfCaptionFont.lfUnderline, ncmtest.lfCaptionFont.lfStrikeOut, 0, ncmtest.lfCaptionFont.lfCharSet == DEFAULT_CHARSET ? VAL_NATIVE_CHARSET : ncmtest.lfCaptionFont.lfCharSet);
    
    //get titlebar text
    uir_status = GetPanelAttribute (panelhandle, ATTR_TITLE, thetext);
    //get title bar length
    uir_status = GetTextDisplaySize (thetext, "TheTitleFont", &height, &width);
    

    I have a 79 for the duration of the screenshot above.

  • How to get the system screen resolution

    Hi all


    I'm developing a flex application in adobe flex3. When I draw components in the design area flex builder is set to "Fit to window". so application are displayed on my monitor(17") correctly, but when I try to run the same application to another computer or a laptop of 14" display screen is different than the screen of the monitor is short, I need to scroll down to see the full page. My question is how can I make sure that the application should search for uniform on different platform/different browsers and different monitors (regardless of the dimensions of the monitor).

    And how can get the screen resolution of system during execution?


    Thanks for all the help and support.

    Look in flash.system.capabilities.  Note that any application based on a browser usually does not control how big be.

  • Satellite Pro M50 with Vista: how to get the S-video on the job?

    Hi all

    I have a vista equipped Satellite Pro M50. Does anyone know how to get the S-video on the job? I can't understand.

    Inadvance, see you soon

    Phil

    Did you look in the user manual?
    This doc is always pre-installed on laptop and provides useful information. Also how to connect a TV and use simple notebooks ports.

    A hint; You must use an s-video cable to connect the laptop to the TV.
    Then use the FN + F5 key combination to switch between display devices.
    Sometimes the special s-video option must be enabled on the TV.

    I would recommend consulting the manual of the TV also.

  • How to get the Security Center to turn on MY

    I hope that the answer to this will not take as long as he did to register on this site to ask a question...!

    MY is all green with a check mark (icon on bottom RHS of the screen.  However, the Security Center said no active antivirus.  Please tell me (in simple terms - I'm not a computer Wizard) how to get the SC to activate MY.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Sometimes, it is a bug that occurs, especially after installing MSE for the first time. Restart the computer and see if the Security Center successfully, then reports that you are protected by an antivirus.

    If restarting the computer does not resolve it, try the following fix - http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/c0ca9eb2-14b0-4591-be85-4b7fd1700191/windows-security-center-wmi-fix-onecare-green-security-center-at-risk

  • HP 9470 m Ultrabook, Win8 - how to get the 3G connection?

    Hello

    I got a Ultrabook 9470 m of work with Win7 installed. Everything works, cool, but I wated Win8 (64 bit) for my own stuff. So, I installed Win8 (dual-boot) for my use personal. Of course, I have no HP drives or whatever it is. -No worries, I found all drivers for Win8-64 in this site ok. And now everything is recognized correctly.

    But I don't know how to get the 3G card to connect. On Win7 HP connection manager takes care of that. But there is no connection manager for Win8. And google results only direct me to choose the network in the bar 'charm '. Great, but there are only available WiFis appear...

    ... --- ...

    Well, I finally got this resolved. -As usual, it'S just a driver issue, as always with Windows... I suppose that there is nothing new under the stars.

    In any case. Thanks for Cloud_Strider to point to the firmware upgrade. I did, but it alone did not help. BUT I don't know if it was still a part of the solution. So, thank you!

    Unfortunately, Ericsson or Navatel drivers broadband did the trick. -It's the only ounces available on the site of HP support for this laptop. = (Fortunately, I had (finally) look in Device Manager to see what drivers are installed. Seems that this braodband card is a HP un2430. Looking for these drivers for WIndows 8 on Google showed me finally good page on HP which she link to fresh (from March 2013) drivers for this card.

    After removing the old drivers (+ restart) and new (+ reset) installation, broadband is now available. I now write this with happiness through 3 G connection. =)

    Hi all

    How to get the physical width and height of the screen (not resolution) in inches or in centimeters?

    Is there a method to do

    Thank you very much

    Display.getWidth () and Display.getHeight () you will get the number of pixels.

    Display.getHorizontalResolution (); and Display.getVerticalResolution () to get the pixels per meter.  Then by dividing appropriately you can find the actual size.

    I have 2 personal laptop, it has a DVD player, an other donesn can't.

    PC with a DVD player, broke a screen, so I use a PC that does not have a DVD player, watch the film from the remote PC.

    I type % ComputerName % d, but the message appears and says below,

    is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.

    Can anyone help and how to get the access permissions?

    The reason for the message is:

    1. the share is not correctly configured.
    2. sharing is configured correctly, but the network profile is not configured correctly.
