Q: My folders changed appearance

a couple of days ago several of my folders changed their icon, it went from this Captura de pantalla 2016-01-03 a las 2.17.10 p.m..pngto thisCaptura de pantalla 2016-01-03 a las 2.17.18 p.m..png

I can still open them without any problem but it is really annoying since they look similar to documents.

 

I have 2 questions, first of all why did this happen? and second of all how can i fix it in a way that doesn't require changing each one individually

 

thanks.

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10), null

    As a start use Disk Utility to repair you drive and permissions. See if that helps

     

    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion or Lion

     

    Boot to the Recovery HD:

     

    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears.

     

    Repair

     

    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the indented Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
