How do i get desktop icons out of the hide mode???

my baby got on my computer and started pressing the keyboard and now my icons are hidden. i have only had my computer for 6 days so i have no idea how to get the icons from the hide mode. when i put the cursor down to the bottom of the desktop the icons pop back up but as soon as i move the cursor up they disappear. please tell me how to get them back to how they were thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Somehow your baby has activated the hidden Dock preference. Go to the Apple menu and choose System Preferences... In Sys Prefs choose the Dock pane. There is a check box to automatically hide or show the Dock.

How do I get desktop icons to reflect the orignal associated application and open correctly?

Product Name: HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC
Product Number: A1U55AV#ABA
Operating System: Windows 7 (x86)
All desktop and start menu icons are identical. As such, the incorrect application opens when clicked.
How do I restore (system restore hasn't worked) so the correct application is associated with the icon?
HP Customer Support in India has been working on this for weeks and seems unwilling to escalate to someone, preferably US-based, more knowledgable in order to resolve the issue.

Hi Meibach,
this sounds like malware - I would recommend a full antivirus scan.
However if yo uare having no other issues I found the following steps online:
To Reset Icon cache follow the below mentioned steps –
1. Right click on empty area of the desktop and click on Personalize.
2. Click on the Display Properties link.
3. Under Colors, select Medium (16-bit) and click on Apply.
NOTE: If you already have Medium (16-bit) selected, then select Highest (32-bit) instead. Sometimes you will need to do a restart first, then proceed to step
4. Try both ways.
A) Click yes to confirm the new settings.
5. Now, select Highest (32-bit) and click on OK.
NOTE: If you already have Highest (32-bit) selected, then select Medium (16-bit) instead.
A) Click on Yes to confirm the new settings.
To Rebuild icon cache follow the below mentioned steps -
1. Click Start, then control panel and in the search box write Folder options.
2. Now click Folder Options to open and select (dot) Show hidden files and folders.
3. Open a Windows Explorer window.
4. Go to C:\Users\(User Name)\AppData\Local
5. Right click on IconCache.db and click on Delete.
6. Click on Yes to confirm the deletion.
NOTE: This deletes the file to the Recycle Bin. It is safe to empty the Recycle Bin when finished.
7. Close the window.
8. Empty the Recycle Bin.
9. Restart the computer.
10. When you go back, you will notice the Size of the IconCache.db file is smaller, and the Date Modified is now the current date.
NOTE: If for some reason IconCache.db is not there or the size has not changed much then you may just restart the computer again. You may need to restart a couple of times in some cases.
11. The icon cache will get rebuilt.

How do I get my iPod out of the recovery mode loop?

While I was updating my iPod Touch 5g (32GB) to the latest iOS 6.1, the USB by mistake got ditached from my mac and the iPod's screen turned to a USB pointing towards the iTunes logo(Recovery Mode). It showed the same thing when I restarted it around 10 times. After connecting it to iTunes it said that "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes." After pressing OK on this message the screen I get on iTunes is of an iPod with the name "iPod" and not "Akshat's iPod". It says "iPod Recovery Mode" and has a button to restore. On pressing the restore button a message comes up to confirm the restore and the buttons are "cancel" and "Update and Restore". On pressing "Update and Restore" it searches for a latest software for the iPod and tells to download iOS 6.1 and after pressing download it happily take 4-5 hrs and gets dowloaded. Now, during this downloading period, the iPod keeps restarting on itself and the same message "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes." appears and after pressing OK it doesnt affect anything but this comes up more than 10-15 times. After the software download the status bar says "processing the download" and this continues for as long as we wait(i.e. it only stops when we press OK when the next message of recovery mode appears). The status bar again shows the apple logo. After this I have to again press the button of Restore iPod>Restoe and Update>Download iOS 6.1 and so the same procedure follows. I have done this about 5 times now, each time taking about 6 hours. I still haven't updated or restored my iPod. I can't get it to waork! This description is too long but I would appreciate if you would help me find a solution for this problem.

Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Then try restoring on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

How can i get my email out of the file box icon?

How can I get my email out of the file box icon? Sometimes I touch it by accident and the email message goes in there.

Another thing to try is renaming it with a .htm or .html extension.
If that doesn't work either, do you have any other files from your old system? In particular, if you have your old places.sqlite file, you could use that to overwrite your new places.sqlite (bookmarks+history) file.

How do I get my songs out of the cloud? Seems like there are issues and won"t let me sync..

How can I get my songs out of the cloud? Seems like there are issues, any new purchased songs are not syncing with Ipod 3rd generations.

Do you have the original installation disc(s) that shipped with your MacBook? You're just going to have to start from scratch - as I doubt that you can recover any files without paying a fortune. Insert the installations disc, reformat your hard drive and then install the OS that came with your computer. Continue updating to 10.6.8 and then redownload and reinstall Mountain Lion again.
That's really the only way you're going to get your machine up and running again. I would also consider buying an inexpensive external drive to use as a backup in case your brother decides to do something stupid again.

Light room five keeps crashing my computer uninstalled it downloaded a fresh copy it works fine how do I get my pictures out of the old copy to the new one?

Light room five keeps crashing my computer, uninstalled it downloaded a fresh copy it works fine. How do I get my pictures out of the old copy to the new one?

Apparently you have two catalogs now, one from each installation. If you did importing, tagging and editing during the first installation, that will all be in the first catalog. Find the first catalog - it is a file with the suffix .lrcat and the default place for LR to put it is usually your Pictures folder - and (with LR closed) double-click on it. LR will launch with catalog #1 active.

Either sync them via iTunes on the computer to the device or turn on Podcast syncing in Settings > Podcasts on the device.

HT1766 How can I get a photo out of the iPhone camera roll to use in an email or another program

I have photos of my car that I took with my iPhone. I'd like to use them for an advertisement to sell the car. How do I get them off the phone or out of the backup folder that iTunes produces when I back up my phone. I'm using a Windows 7 computer.

Thanks, but I figured it out. I just had to find the files in Windows under what would be considered a "drive." Once there, the photos all show up in a folder as JPEG files. Got the ones I needed.

How can I get settings files out of the Library folder?

I had to do a clean reinstall (erase & reinstall) to clear up some problems on my Mac. Unfortunately, when you do this, your settings, customizations, bookmarks etc. aren't transferred over as they do when you upgrade in the normal way.
For example, dashboard widgets are in each user's <home folder>/Library/Widgets folder.
I could restore some of these settings by dragging the settings files from the old System Folder to the new one. Unfortunately, Apple is making this harder by hiding the Library folder in the user folder, both on the Mac and on the backup drive.
There is a command to enter in Terminal to show your Library folder, but this only seemed to work on the Mac and not on my backup drive.
How can I get key settings files out of the Library folder on my backup drive when the Library folder is hidden?
Thanks

Open the enclosing folder, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, and provide Library as the path.
