All desktop folders, finder & the dock have disapeared, what can I do?
I was downloading a widget (acorn) & all my folders disappeared, then spaces, then the dock after about 5 minutes. After a restart firefox was there but nothing else. The desktop folders are there when browse in gmail, but it freezes & quits when try to open them. I see that other people have had similar problems, but cannot find many answers.. Will I need to get another Leopard install disc, as no longer have it?? Mac ownership seems very lonely at times!
could be failing hard drive or corrupted files, in any case as the first step
you'd have to try to start up from another source - external hard drive with the compatible OS on it or from the OS install CD/DVD

My MacBook Air is almost filled up with "other"space and I can't find the source. What can I do to fix this and or what apps can I download to find the source and delete it. Thanks.
If you haven't restarted your computer for a while, do so. Sometimes cache files get mangled and begin expanding rapidly. A few weeks ago my iMac went from more than 500GB free to less than 20GB free in a short period of time. I knew that wasn't possible but also knew that I'd not shutdown or rebooted in over a month. After the reboot the disk was back to its normal usage and I've not seen a repeat.
If that doesn't do it, check out macupdate.com for programs such as DaisyDisk and Omni DiskSweeper to examine your drive contents. Media files (movies, digital photos, and songs) are the mostly likely culprits for taking up space. -
Can anybody help me with this problem?
Yes -- and version of the OS?
And note that the latest version of iPhoto is 9.5.1 - which is why we ask for the veron and why "latestest" is not any help - expecialy with out knowing the version of the OS -
What happened when you
Try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

All my photos in the iphoto have disappeared, not sure if this related to any iphoto upgrade or other issue, tried to find the photos through the finder (JPG or photo) but failed, can you help me to get back my photos please?
Help us to help you: There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. More information means you get better assistance. (And no, more exclamation marks do not get help faster or make your issue seem urgent. They just make it seem like you have a stuck key ) -

I have four folders in the dock. Two are fine. The other two of them will not allow me to press on the stack's icons to view the commands "Display as Folder" or "Options". Can somebody help me out with this minor problem?
Thanks!Are you right - clicking (control-clicking) them? The following should appear if you do that, and allow you to change the folder's appearance in the Dock:

If you are getting emails from these forums then you probably accidentally clicked on one of the links on the forums page where all the questions are listed e.g. at the top right of each forum's page there is text box with Actions and Notifications in :
So far you've posted in the iTunes Store forum :
https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_store#/
And the Using iPad forum :
https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipad/using_ipad#/
If on either of those forums that box says 'stop email notifications' instead of 'receive' then click on it and it should stop that forum sending emails to you.
There are full instructions on this page for stopping emails, as there are other places where they might have been set 'on' : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3661

Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?
You can't do that.
And before you decide to store any music that you own on a computer at work, talk to your IT department. Many organizations do not permit it for legal reasons. Standard policies are that anything stored on company owned computers is the property of the company. It could not be legally stored on their machines unless you transfer the licenses and all copies, physical and digital, to the company, meaning you no longer own the music. If they were to be audited and could not prove that they own the music, they would be subject to copyright violation penalties. Just use your iPod when you're at the office if you want to listen to music. -
The Fan option does not appear for folders in the dock.
The fan option does not appear on folders on the Dock. Stack option is checked, but all I get is grid list and automatic....running 10.5.2
any ideas?Not that I know of. When on the side no fan for folders and no 3D look, which I prefer. Background of the Dock very dark so the white dot showing an app is open is easy to see and it all looks very sophisticated.
You might check with third party apps to see if anyone is changing that, but most people don't like the fan so I doubt if anyone is working to add it in. -

We use one windows machine and two mbp's (post 2012) at home. We have a modem *** router from a non apple vendor that airport utility finds and connects with absolute ease. But doesn't stay connected. The signal drops often, what can I do?
No, not all network clients -- only the two mac portables and they run together very rarely. The windows machine is hardwired to the modem router combo, and that's always sailing smooth. The mbp that is most used is perhaps 20 feet max from the router - and in another room. But it also happens when I take in into the same room as the router. On occassion, I have noticed while using network diagnostics, that one digit in the IP number sometimes appears to go awry. I then try to set up manually - and it works for a bit but is hugely erratic.
I rigged a hand me down airport express and set up a separate network for the two macs and it ran beautifully for some weeks, but that little piece is now dead and none of the retailers in my suburb seem to have one in stock. I don't want to be forced to buy an airport extreme and here in India, there's no trustworthy online ordering option.
The man from the ISP's been here several times and I don;t think it is a modem/dsl issue because the smartphone connects and the macbook drops when both are the same distance from the router? I am truly foxed and intensely irritated! :-(
