I really like Yosemite, but one thing I noticed right away was that my MS document icons all turned white on the desktop. If I open a Finder window they appear in the List view, Column view and Cover Flow (does anyone use that anymore?) but not in the Icon view. Any ideas?
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10)
Same issue, just made a clean install of osx 10.10 with MS Office 2011 14.4.5. Neither word nor excel icons in list view. In my case this applies just for .docx and .xlsx files. .doc and .xls files are properly displayed with their icons. With powerpoint files theres no problem at all...
If I rescale Icons in Icon view Im not loosing the icons and can scale down to minimum!
Hi, I am not able to install ms office 14.4.5 on Yosemite. MS office 2011 was working well on Maverick.

You might try resetting the LaunchServices database. Copy and paste this into Terminal and hit return:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain userI have the same issue with vlc icons.... So annoying
unfortunately not working... thx!
Now it's not working with my Keynote presentations on my desktop! 😢
Unless I Command-I and Lock them!
Weird.
Here is my suggestion,
I had the same issue you had after installing Yosemite OSX. All MS had disappeared and had turnt into whitye. After speaking to Apple this morning, I was suggested to reinstall Yosemite OSX. Eh voilá, my MS icons have their ussual aspect.
I hope this helps you.

I have already restored twice and the issue persists!
I already tried that. I also reinstalled MSOffice. Neither worked unfortunately. Guess we will just have to wait for Apple to recognize that there is a problem and fix it asap.
First point to make - if you make a new user account on your computer, it seems to rectify the problem all the icons are correct and not white anymore....but then if you install new software within that account, files you produce then go back to having white icons so its not really a solution.
This got me some of the way, but it seems to be have to be done 1 by 1. Is that the same case for everyone? http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13922
Really regretting Yosemite, on a 2 month of Mac Pro, Adobe is slower to export than on Mavericks, and now this icon issue. Seems all we have gain is slower macs, lots of bugs and all for a seemingly prettier UI.
Right click on file, get info, highlight icon in the upper left, copy then paste.
That was the first thing I tried.
Is there a folder or director where icon images are saved independently of their files? Or are they always part of the files themselves?

Custom icons would be in Get Info. Select the icon and delete. However, icon previews are generated on the fly. They are likely cached i the Finder cache.
I think this is just another bad quality control issue on Apple's part...I think chances are good we will see this addressed in 10.10.1. Give it a 6-8 weeks and this will hopefully be a non issue. Would be nice if they just released a quick patch for it though. That and all the other probs!

Since it is a minor problem apparently isolated to only a few users, where exactly are they going to find the source of the problem in order to fix it?
The only way they can provide a “patch” would be if they could reproduce the problem.
Where have my MS icons gone in Yosemite?
