I just installed Lion and have no desktop hard drive icon.  How can I make it reappear?

How can I gain access to my hard drive directory?  Since installing Lion yesterday, I no longer have a desktop hard drive icon to click on, so cannot see my folders.

Select Preferences from the Finder menu and click on the General icon in the toolbar. Check the boxes for items you wish visible. Click on the Sidebar icon in the toolbar. Check or uncheck the boxes for what you want displayed in the Finder's sidebar.

  • Hi-i just installed "lion" and have"ilife09"would like to upgrade to ilife 11 is there a "package that has g/band, iPhoto

    hi-i just installed "lion" and have"ilife09"would like to upgrade to ilife 11 is there a "package that has g/band, iPhoto & i movie-all in one as a complete upgrade(and is it cheaper in a "package")  or do i have to install each one three separately?

    Aarrggghhhh, you in Australia, gotcha!
    Merchandise prices are in U$D on all links I posted.
    Amazon does shipping globally - see more here for AU shipping rates (in U$D)

    You can sign up for an account with them, being the largest online retailer in the world, they take all major credit cards and/or PayPal account as well.
    If I were you, Id do some research on Australian online stores for iLife package before going with Amazon, maybe you could find it cheaper there. But given the bad shape the US Dollar has been in, you might also get a better deal with Amazon, because U$D is so dirt cheap these days!
    I got my iLife 11 on Amazon. I buy Apple hardware on Apple's refurbished store, parts on OWC, and software on Amazon

  • My drive collapsed. I have an external hard drive. How can I put all my files there, using disk utility?

    So my MacBook Pro collapsed one day, and it turns on but only "Restarts" and shuts itself down on the procesa. The only thing I have access to is that 'Command + R' thing. There I tried "Verifying" and "Reparing" the Diak but the message of "Cant repair disk backup as many files as possible, reformat the disk and restore" popped up. So I have am external hard drive with more than enough space to put all of my files in there. my question is: HOW DO I DO THAT? from disk utility. Can somone please help me? Please! Step by step cause ptherwise I will mess it up and I really dont want to lose all the memories I have in my computer.

    After you restart so you have access to Disk Utility, with the external drive connected, choose the external drive from the left sidebar of the DU window.  If the drive has not been formatted for the Mac, choose Partition from the buttons top center of the main window.  Give the drive a name, you can leave it as one partition if you like, make sure the format is set as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled), and the partition table is GUID.  Then Apply and acknowledge that you know this will erase the disk.
    Then go to the button that says Restore.  Drag and drop the internal drive, Macintosh HD is most common, to the Source box, and drag and drop the external drive to Destination box.  Then Restore.
    That will create a clone of the internal and that will be a bootable clone.

    No you just need to turn on Tap to Click. Go into System Preferences - Trackpad and click the Point to Click tab and select the first box which will say Tap to Click and you should be in business.

  • I have installed Lion and have problems to print PDF from prewiev.

    I have installed Lion and have problems to print PDF from prewiev. When trying to print Prewiev locks. Anyone out there with the same problem?

    Hello David and Nicole
    I just installed Lion on my iMac, which was purchased in 2007, and I cannot print from Preview; it keeps locking up and not responding. So, I have to force quit Preview. I have been sending error reports to Apple. I suggest everyone who has this problem, send error reports!
    I can print from other applications, like Pages, with my Canon Laserjet. I do not think it is a printer issue becasue I can print in other application.
    I took your advice and installed Adobe reader. Now I can print pdf's.
    Thanks

  • Just installed Lion and now my trackpad will not zoom

    Just installed Lion and now my trackpad will not zoom in and out and the direction of going up and down have reversed.

    I have had Lion since it was first released July 20th, and I have noticed that I can not zoom in on everything that is on the internet, some things seem to not be able to be zoomed in on.  Are you saying that no matter what website you go to (this one for eample) the zoom function does not work?

    You don't.  Apple no longer ships Front Row... it's part of the OS... so it goes away when you upgraded.

    I just installed Lion, and I find my Mail inbox quite incomplete. Yet when I look in my "Smart Mailboxes" I can find the new emails that I was looking for, so they are getting here, just not to my "Inbox". Help!

    did you find a solution?  I am having the same problem!  I can find my emails under 'all mail - where my ingoing and outgoing emails are mixed together)....but not in my INBOX!  I get notifications of new emails, but they don't show up in my inbox!

    Dear Ralph, thank you for your lightspeed answer!
    When I had installed the app, there was been written: "open", and when I pushed this, NO reaction of the iPad! And crazy too: I am NOT able to find the app itself at any screen of the iPad!!! I can see it only in the list "bought" items. With other words: The app is neither to be seen nor I am able to open it in the "list".
    Thank you in advance for your advice
    Best greetings from Austria (Wien, Vienna)

  • I just installed Lion and now my adobe flash doesn't work at a website where i like to use it to cam

    I just installed Lion and now my adobe flash player doesn't work to allow me to cam at a website that uses adobe flash to support camming there.  It worked fine yesterday when I had  Snow Leopard installed but right after I installed Lion it stopped working.

  • I have a 15" MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion installed.  I have partitioned the hard drive into two partitions.  Is it possible to install Snow Leopard on the second partition?  If so how do I do it?

    I have a 15" MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion installed.  I have partitioned the hard drive into two partitions.  Is it possible to install Snow Leopard on the second partition?  If so how do I do it?

    If your MacBook Pro had Snow Leopard on it at one time then sure. (Early 2011 or earlier)
    How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
    Obviously choose the second partition to install into. It has to be OS X Extended journaled formatted in Disk Utility (BootCamp software makes it a MSDOS/FAT32 formatted partition if you used that to partition with)
    If it's a Early 2011 or Late 2011 that came with 10.7, it's possible, but it's not easy.

    If you can't install Snow Leopard, there is a thread over at MacRumors how to run Snow Leopard in a virtual machine program under 10.7 or 10.8
