Hi!
Recently two problems have occured with my 10.2.4 system: Some icons have disappeared. I think only dynamically generated icons are affected (Private and Favorites in the toolbar, Documents, Music etc. in the user folder). When I quit the finder and let it restart, they seem to be back again. Also, I can't drag any icons anymore. I can activate with a mouseclick, but dragging doesn't work. Both problems are not user specific. I have already checked the hd and permissions. Any ideas? Thanks!

I'm willing to bet your coreservicesd died, and you'll probably find a crash log in /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/coreservicesd.crash.log.
If anyone knows how to restart this server without restarting the machine, I'd like to know. It is started from /System/Library/StartupItems/AppServices, but the traditional "sudo /System/Library/StartupItems/AppServices/AppServices start" doesn't seem to work.

Hi!
There is indeed a crash log with that name. I have tried rebooting, of course, and judging from the dates in the log I'd say the process seems to crash immediately every time I reboot. Should I post the log entry (though I doubt that anybody could make any use of it)?
Added: After searching Google for the term "coreservicesd" I found reports of similar problems. One user recommended deleting the icon caches in "/Library/Caches". I trashed the whole directory, and for now it seems to work. Thank you for mentioning coreservicesd!
