Home screen not displaying right

PLEASE HELP ME!!! My documents on my home screen are scattered around and I can't move them back to the place I want them! Whenever I try they just move back to the place before!

Take these steps if the cursor changes from an arrow to a white "prohibited" symbol when you try to move an icon on the Desktop.
Sometimes the problem may be solved just by logging out or restarting the computer. Try that first, if you haven't already done it. Otherwise, continue.
Select the icon of your home folder (a house) in the sidebar of a Finder window and open it. The Desktop folder is one of the subfolders. Select it and open the Info window. In the General section of the window, the Kind will be either Folder  or something else, such as Anything.
If the Kind is Folder, uncheck the box marked Locked. Close the Info window and test.
If the Kind is not Folder, make sure the Locked box is not checked and that you have Read & Write privileges in the  Sharing & Permissions section. Then close the Info window and do as follows.
Back up all data before continuing.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo Desktop
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You should get a new line ending in a dollar sign ($). Quit Terminal.
Relaunch the Finder.
If the problem is now resolved, and if you use iPhoto, continue.
Quit iPhoto if it's running. Launch it while holding down the option key. It will prompt you to select a library. Choose the one you want to use (not the Desktop folder.)

  • Why is my Itunes home screen not displaying properly?

    As you can see, certain text areas don't display properly. I have Windows 7, and I've played with the resolution (from max to min, including doing computer restarts), I have reinstalled Itunes, my graphics card driver, updated windows with all updates (including the optional ones), and changed font size etc.. from within Itunes. At one point I was very computer literate, but I can't seem to figure this one out. Any ideas?
    I also ran a full scan by norton antivirus, nothing was found. Any ideas? This is also a bad time to have to deal with this, as my iphone just crashed and lost all of its memory, but I have trouble selecting what music/apps etc I need to restore it. Even the restore screen is too messed up to use.
    Thanks for any help!

    I found another thread that suggests I need a resolution greater than 1024 by 768, but I'm currently running at 1600 by 1200. I am using our bigscreen (~60") as we don't have a computer monitor. This is a family computer, so maybe someone changed a setting that I wasn't aware of? I don't think Itunes was like this at the beginning, but I can't pinpoint when the screen actually started to look like this.
    Also, where else can I go for help, without paying for it? (I have trouble paying for help with a free application, especially after buying a large number of apple products)
    Thanks again!

  • How do I add actual email accounts to home screen-not just HUB?

    How do I add actual email accounts to home screen-not just HUB? Can anyone give me the steps?

    Essentially the Hub area is a home screen dedicated to your communication. Tap on the lower left icon and each of your messaging sections has its own dedicated 'icon.' As JC mentioned, it is new and it may take a while to get used to it.. but once you do it really is a great way to deal with the unified messaging idea and it also allows you to break down what you are looking at very quickly. Just need to learn a few new tricks.  I've been on the Z for just over 3 months now and I could never go back...

    Screen not displaying correctly. It keeps moving as the mouse moves

    Your problem is not the same as that of the original poster of this thread, and it can be very confusing for everybody if we try to answer more than one question in each thread.
    In order for us to give your problem our undivided attention to try to solve it, would you kindly start your own thread, describing the trouble you are having in the fullest detail, including completing your details to show what Mac or iDevice you are using, what operating system, and what version of the application in question. Please remember to post in the forum relevant to your hardware or version of OS X.

  • Captivate 4 shortens timeline - elements are not displayed right anymore

    Hi there,
    I already searched the forum but couldn’t find an answer. Maybe someone of you can help me.
    I have a weird problem with the timeline – in short: it changes.
    I have some slides, based on imported Power Point slides. Within captivate I add some Audio (TTS), let appear images & textboxes simultaneously, add buttons etc.
    Sometimes I extend the slide duration (for example when slide transition is set to automatically).
    And now the problem that occurs: Captivate shortens the timeline – exactly to the length where the audio ends. Doing this causes that elements which are placed at the end of the slide are also shortened and not displayed right anymore.
    This is shown in the following screenshot. On the left side of the cursor you can see an image element that normally should fade in directly after the audio ends and should stay for 4 seconds.
    I couldn’t figure out when this happens. This means that I have to check every slide again to make sure that all elements are displayed right. Locking elements or the slide itself doesn't help.
    Does anybody know why this happens and how to avoid this? I am using Captivate 4 and publish as an .exe or an .swf
    Your help is appreciated. Thanks a lot!

    Hi Noel
    If you click Edit > Preferences > Global > Defaults do you have the option Calculate caption timing enabled?
    If so, that's likely your issue. Clear the option and your timing should stay put when you make edits.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Mpower max 780 lightning UEFI not displayed right and windows 8.1 no DVI-input

    Hi all,
    I’m new to the forum, I’m very sorry that my first post is the posting of a problem.
    I’ve read several treads just to be sure I’m not asking the same question twice.
    In this case I have 2 problems, both are problems more users have issues with but not as a combination of both, that’s why I posted it.
    I’ll start with my rig:
    Intel i7 4770K
    MSI Z87 Mpower Max
    MSI Geforce GTX 780 lightning
    Crucial Ballistix tactical BLT2C8G3D1608ET3LX0CEU
    Crucial 2.5" M500 480GB
    Seagate Barracuda 7200.14
    Seasonic Platinum Series 860 Watt
    Asus VG248QE monitor
    The problems
    After installing my rig myself I stated it up and everything worked fine.
    Installed windows 8.1
    Installed a few games (I couldn’t wait to try it out)
    Then after shutting down and starting up de the next day the problems started
    The bios screen wasn’t displayed right:
    - Resolution isn’t correct
    - Getting art-effects when trying to adjust a setting in the bios
    - When saving, bios is stopt working with an error message that the bin file is incorrect
     so setting up the bios is a big problem
    The second issue is that when I let it go and load windows 8.1:
    - It shows the partially BIOS image (big yellow M)
    - Then the windows logo with the loading circle
    - Followed by a black screen and my monitor telling me that there is no DVI signal
    What I’ve done so far:
    A windows 8.1 repair (so everything whipped) “fresh” install on my SSD then again install of the Nvidea driver.
    This worked for a hours of gaming funn, with 3 or 4 reboots of the system (so I thought problem fixed).
    Sadly not, I began to check the forums and found that I needed to run W8.1 in safemode to clear the Nvidea drivers en again install the latest version along with the Intel VGA drivers.
    I’ve tried that but no luck on that one.
    And yes I’ve tried to clear CMOS (several times)
    I’ve tried to flash the BIOS but I can’t select my USB drive when I press F11 (so I’ll be trying another USB stick soon)
    Getting the bootsequence to boot from USB isn’t an option also because of the bios screen issue.
    Does anyone have the same issues, or even better does anyone have a solution to all my troubles?
    Thanx,
    Quasi

    Quote from: flobelix on 22-November-13, 02:03:09
    Ok it is in legacy mode then. Waiting for your report. If it comes up on the igpu also check the bios version. Would be better than guessing.
    Oke tested the HDMI cable, after starting up finally i got a normal BIOS view again.
    BIOS Version E7815IMS V1.2 (so it's 1.2 instead of 1.0) so much for guessing...
    As expected windows started normally in high resolution.
    So i think the problem is that the MB bios doesn't work wel with the videocard or the videocard is DOA.
    any thoughts for the next step?

  • IPad air screen not displaying correctly

    My iPad Air screen has recently started displaying with a pink hue in two of the corners, showing as a medium sized oval in one corner and a small circle in the other. There are also some vertical pink streaks that are less marked. It's really noticeable when the screen is displaying a white background. The only recent changes I have made is downloading the new IOS 8 update. There has been no trauma or damage to the iPad. It is still covered under the 1 year limited warranty. is there any way to fix this in my own?! Thank you!

    Hello there katelynlc,
    It sounds like you have some graphical anomolies on your screen that have a pink hue. If it is a software issue it will be resolvable by either first resetting the iPad:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Or backing up and restoring your iPad as a new device:
    iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
    If restoring as new does resolve it, restore your backup and verify it still works. 
    If not, then the iPad will need service:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,

  • Time at home is not displayed correctly using Mexico's timezone

    Hello,
    Time is not displayed correctly at home screen, it is shown at -7 instead of -6 GWT. But it is displayed correctly in Date & time config page. Does anybody knows how to fix it? I had to setup Central time (-6) as a temp workaround, but daylight saving time dates differs from US.
    Thanks

    Try this.
    1. set your time zone to mexico.

  • Home screen not restored properly after backup

    I'm pretty sure I've gone about this the right way because in the past it has worked fine, but we've added a few more Apps to our devices and now the home screen layout doesn't get restored properly when using Apple Configurator (latest version).
    Supervised one iPad, installed Apps and arranged the home screen how we want it to be laid out.
    Made a backup of that Supervised iPad.
    Supervised the rest of the iPads and restored the backup we made of the one with the home screen arranged how we want it.
    Randomly some Apps that were placed in a folder appear not on the home screen I placed it on but on a screen one swipe to the right, another folder appears on a home screen another swipe to the right!
    The "Video" folder should be in the empty space in the bottom right of the first home screen.
    Previously, before we had the maximum number of icons on the home screen whenever I retored a backup to the devices they would be in the correct places, but not any more.
    Any ideas?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • How do I fix home screen not showing apps?

    I recently got an iPhone 5c. I wanted to restore it with a backup. After that when I opened my phone all the apps disappeared and the home screen was blank. I scrolled through the pages but nothing was there! Help me!

    Umm,
    They were things that I have used during the time I have had the issue myself.
    It seems to have improved things on some services (namely AIM) but have left the issue the same with my Bonjour connection to my Snow Leopard Mac.
    On mine the File Transfer window reports it Failed  (See Window Menu).
    On other accounts sometimes the Chat shows an icon and it will open in Preview rather than displaying In-line.
    It is not something that I do that often and is not something I have spent a great amount of time on.
    You could try this:-
    In the Finder use the Go Menu > Go to Folder and type (or Copy from here) ~/Library/Preferences  into the dialogue box that appears.
    Once in the Preferences folder find the com.apple.ichat.plist file
    Depending on the service the picture is coming on you can delete (Drag to Trash) the Preferences (.plist file) for that service (com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist or com.apple.ichat.Jabber.plist for instance).
    There is a Yahoo one and a Subnet one for the Bonjour Account.
    Restart the app each time.
    If that does not work try deleting the com.apple.ichat.plist itself.
    DO NOT delete them together as this will cause the app to have to be reset with the basic account info.
    If it is the iMessages account that is effected try deleting com.apple.imessages.bag.plist as this one is the contact with the server as are the ones above.
    Again restart the app.

  • Variable Screen not display in Web

    Hi all
           When i execute  the Query ZBP02_Q001 in Web, the Variable Input Screen  of the Query is not display first,but display the content of the ZBP02_Q001 directly in the Web. All of the Varibale is not mandatory;
    i am using BI 7.0;
          Anyone can give a help!
      Thanks in advance.

    Hi Cao,
    May be your infoobject are holding constants, which led to direct execution without the selection screen.
    Inorder to get the selection screen, select the infoobject and make its settings as optional and it will be displayed in your selection screen.
    So whenever you use optional for an infoobject, that specific infoobject alone will appear on the selection screen.

  • Captivate 6 Slide Audio screen not displaying correctly

    Upon trying to rerecord a slides's audio today this screen opened up - I could record, but not save because the save button is not displaying.  I was able to record new audio on the same project on Friday.  I tried deleting and recodring new audio and the same screen came up.  I tried a different project - same thing happened.  I rebooted twice.  Any ideas?

    Hello,
    If you check the address bar of your screenshot, you will see that you are in "C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Application Data\Adobe" folder
    Might be a possiblity that "Local Settings" folder is hidden, click on Tools -> Folder Options, under View tab, you have the option to "Show hidded files and folders"
    You will see Local Settings folder once you click on OK, then you can access C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe and rename "Captivate 6.0" folder.
    Hope this helps !!
    Thanks,
