Right-click on the desktop and when the context menu pop-ups hover over "arrange icons by" and then go to "Show Desktop Icons" and make sure that there is a check to the left of it.  If there is not, then click on it to check it.
That is usually the solution for this issue.  If it does not resolve your issue, please explain the problem and how it occurred in more details.

  • My iTunes Match automatically charged me for a second year when the first year finished.  In spite of that, I have lost all of my playlists on my iPhone.  How can I get them back?

    Hi,
    No need to post three times!
    Is iTunes Match still turned on on your iPhone? If not, you need to turn it back on.
    If it is still on, go to settings, music app and turn off match- sign out of iTunes Store. Reboot iPhone, sign back into iTunes and turn on match. Poem music app. Does this help?

    Your signature lists both, Mac and iOS device - are you asking about GarageBand on your Mac or your iPhone/iPad?
    If you are asking about the upgrade from GarageBand '11 to GarageBand 10.0 on your Mac, the old GarageBand version should still be installed. The installer will have moved GarageBand '11 to a separate folder "GarageBand 6.0.5" in your Applications folder. Open this folder and click "GarageBand".  Does this version still see your old projects?  If not, type ".band" into the Spotlight searchfield in the upper right corner of your screen. Does that sfind your missing projects?
    If you are asking about GarageBand on iPad/iPhone, there it is not possible to restore the previous version after you upgraded. And I do not see, how this upgrade could have deleted your projects. Have they completely vanished, or can you not open them any longer? If your projects have vanished, restore your device from your backup: See:  iCloud: Backup and restore overview

  • After connnecting Iphone to iTunes ( while trying to delete U2's album ), all of my songs have been removed. How can I get them back?

    After connnecting Iphone to iTunes ( while trying to delete U2's album that Apple forced on all iOS users. ), all of my songs have been removed. How can I get them back?
    I dont use iTunes since I have a windows laptop. I use CopyTrans , a program that basically emulates iTunes but is simpler. However it wouldnt allow me to delete U2s album from my phone. 
    After removing one song iTunes "updated" my phone's song list but in reality just deleted every song on it ( except for U2's atrocious album !!) 
    Is there any way I can get my songs back? 
    When I start up iTunes and CopyTrans  the songs are still there. However when I attempt to play them they will not play?
    Thanks

  • HT4859 I got a new iPad mini and It said that I didn't have anything in my iCloud backup but I had all 800 of my pictures on it. How do I get them back?

    I got a new iPad mini and It said that I didn't have anything in my iCloud backup but I had all 800 of my pictures on it. How do I get them back?

    The new one must have been in inventory for a while or it would have the latest iOS.
    To update it, connect it to your computer and open iTunes.  You may be prompted by iTunes that a newer version is available; if so, choose Download and Install to update it to iOS 6.1.3.
    If you don't get this prompt, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, then click on the Summary tab at the top.  On the Summary tab, click Check for Update.  You should then be prompted that there is an update available and you can update your iPad.
    After updating, as mentioned in the posts above, set it up as a new iPad, eject it from iTunes and disconnect it from your computer, then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go back through the setup screens on the iPad and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup.  You should now be able to choose your backup to restore from.  Be sure your iPad is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take some time to finish.

  • I just lost all my contacts on the ipod2 ...how do I get them back? They just disappeared while I was typing in a new contact.

    I just lost all my contacts on the ipod2 ...how do I get them back? They just disappeared while I was typing in a new contact.  Help!!

    joephilipose,
    If the contacts are still in Address Book on your computer, but just not on the phone, you can tell iTunes to force replace the contacts on your phone with those from your computer. You can do this by going into the Info tab when your iPhone is connected, and checking the Contacts box under the Advanced section at the bottom of the page.
    You may also want to backup your Address Book information as well. It's a good idea to make periodic backups of your contact and calendar information in case information accidentally gets deleted or changed. You can find out how to backup your Address Book data here:

    To backup your iCal information, follow the steps in this article:

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.

    Hi sofia124, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you may have either set the iPhone up as a new iPhone or restored from a backup that didn’t have your messages on it. If you do have either an iCloud or iTunes backup that you believe has your messages saved, you can restore from that backup to recover your information. Please use the attached article as a reference for restoring from a backup. 
    Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    Have a great day, 
    Joe

    Did you restore your phone with itunes or check new phone.  You can always reconnect with itunes and restore your phone to old settings and it should replace everything because it is on your computer

    If you've turned on "Find my iPhone" on the device you can track its location at iCloud. The device must be powered on and have internet access to be located.
    Doubtful you ever backed up your "camera roll" to iCloud but you may have backed it up to your computer via iTunes. You can "restore" that backup to your new iOS device but you can't view the contents of that backup and pick out pieces of it.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't unless (assuming you have the Apple TV 1) you remove the drive and connect it to a computer.

    I updated my iPhone 4s with the ios 7.0.6 software and lost all my ringtones I purchased through Itunes. How do I get them back?

    Did you fail to save them to your computer before updating?
    If so, then you can try contacting itunes support and asking them to allow a redownload.

    Your contacts should be available on your computer. Were the contacts lost in the address book on your computer that is supported for syncing contacts with your iPhone?

    Hi Ingo,
    thanks for your help. Your hint didn't solve my problem but pointed me in the right direction.
    When I wanted to activate my new phone from backup I realized, I didn't knew the password. It was noted on a paper at home. So I activated the phone free cause I couldn't await coming home ... a new toy!
    Due to GameCenter I have two apple-ids and unfortunately I took the wrong for the activation.
    Back home I've reset the phone and activated it from backup. The iWork apps disappeared and now are linked to the other apple-id.
    I was able to re-install the apps from AppStore for free. But I don't think I can transfer the apps to the other id.
    Thanks a lot
    Harald
