Weird Issue in System Preferences

[HermanTheGerman]

Take a look at Quicktime's icon. 😱 How did that happen and how do I get rid of it? 😕

I have already tried restarting, repairing permissions and reinstalling Quicktime (after deleting it).

This happened to me and I am aware it has happened to quite a few other people. In my case, it disappeared after a couple of weeks without me doing anything. Mac OS X 10.4.9 should be out imminently, so hopefully there is a fix in the update for this issue.

😕 That's odd. I've never seen that on PPC macs. Are you using Intel?

It happened to me too. Mine also fixed itself within a couple days. I have a PPC mac btw.

I have the same issue after the recent apple update, I found a solution on internet though:

go to /Users/HomeDirectory/Library/Caches/

delete:
com.apple.preferencepanes.cache
com.apple.preferencepanes.searcindexcache

That is it!

There's even a MacGuide on this subject 😉.

Thanks... That did it.

How come I have never seen that? 😱

It's an Intel in my case, running 10.4.8.
