Anyone have an answer?

When I insert an external drive (like a USB or a CD) it is not popping up onto my desktop like I thought it was supposed to, instead I have to go into my computer and open it through here.. Is there a way to fix or change this? or was I wrong and it was never supposed to appear on my desktop?

On the Finder's menubar,  Finder > Preferences > General tab > check external disks and CDs

    Hello nicolefromlisbon
    If the download link is not working to get your Pre-order, then report the issue to the iTunes Store.

    What Firefox version is currently installed on the computer?
    You can find the full version of the current current Firefox release (37.0.2) in all languages and all operating systems here:
    *https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    If you have a very old Firefox version then you could consider to uninstall that version to clean up existing registry keys (especial the uninstall key).
    Make sure NOT to remove "personal data" when you uninstall Firefox, because that will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
    Check the Firefox program folder and remove the Firefox program folder if there are still files left in it.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.

  • Every time I sync my iPhone with iPhoto I end up getting duplicate photos on my iPhone. The other problem is that I can not delete the dups on my iPhone.   Does anyone have an answer to this problem?

    Every time I sync my iPhone with iPhoto I end up getting duplicate photos on my iPhone. The other problem is that I can not delete the dups on my iPhone.   Does anyone have an answer to this problem?

    Mike whether I create a folder within the Pictures Folder that iTunes uses to sync photographs or just copy them into the main folder the result is the same, I end up with Photo Library plus another album containing an identical set of pictures as contained in Photo Library.
    The User Manual for iOS5 states ...
    You can create, rename, and delete albums on iPhone to help you organize your photos and videos.
    Create a album: When viewing albums, tap Edit, then tap Add. Select photos to add to the new album, then tap Done. Note: Albums created on iPhone aren’t synced back to your computer.
    Rename an album Tap Edit, then select an album.
    Rearrange albums Tap Edit, then drag up or down.
    Delete an album Tap Edit, then tap the delete sign.
    Yes I can Add a new Album, but cannot delete an album already created. The delete sign does not appear.
    In iTunes the only folder that I can see listed is the man one into which iTunes stores pictures, which I have named iPhone Photos.
    When I look on my PC this iPhone Photos folder contains another folder named iPod Photo Cache and a multitude of folders created by iTunes, the named F00, F01,F02 etc etc. and a Photo Database file.
    Now whether I create a seperate folder within iPhone Photos to store my favourite photos in, or just copy them all into the iPhone Photos folder without being encased within another folder, or create a folder inside the iPod Photo Cache folder the result is the same ...
    I end up with Photo Library plus another album containing an identical set of pictures as contained in Photo Library.
    I am going around in ever decreasing circles here and getting nowhere fast!! 

  • Does anyone have an answer yet to this time out thing with the Itunes 9????

    I see so many threads but can't follow through each one. Does anyone have an answer to fix this?

    What time out thing with iTunes 9? You'll get better answers if you give as much detail as possible when asking a question, including any error messages you've received and any trouble shooting steps you've already taken. From your question, it's not at all clear what your problem is.
    Best of luck.

    I did not see your post 4 until after I had posted just now.
    That is one of the drawbacks related to purchasing Premiere Elements as a download from Adobe...the download is specific to the Windows or Mac operating system to which it is downloaded. So all you have purchased that way are the installation files and a serial number for Premiere Elements 12 Windows. If you had purchased Premiere Elements 12 in the box packaging, that comes with a disc for Windows and a disc for Mac.
    How long ago did you purchase Premiere Elements 12 Windows? If within 30 days of purchase, you can look into a 30 day money back from Adobe. But you cannot purchase the box packaging from Adobe. It only offers the download purchase from it. You would have to buy from an authorized reseller if you wanted the boxed purchase.
    The way it is now, you will need to purchase new installation files and serial number for Premiere Elements 12 for your iMac.
    That is the situation that I believe exists. More information if needed.

  • Help. Photoshop CC14 on Mac 5k (2014) running Yosemite 10.10.1. Photoshop stops responding when I'm opening files, saving files or creating new ones. Is anyone suffering the same problem? Does anyone have an answer?

    Help. Photoshop CC14 on Mac 5k (2014) running Yosemite 10.10.1. Photoshop stops responding when I'm opening files, saving files or creating new ones. Is anyone suffering the same problem? Does anyone have an answer?

    First, go install the MacOS 10.10 updates - you should be on 10.10.2.
    I haven't heard of Photoshop not responding during opens and saves.  Does it stop responding while the open/save dialogs are visible, or while Photoshop is actually reading or writing files?
    10.10.1 did fix a crash in the open/save dialogs, but 10.10.2 still has some odd issues (mostly program errors coming from the OS code) in the open/save dialogs.

  • My incoming calls have weak audio.Everything else is fine anyone have an answer?

    My iphone 4s has suddenly begun to have weak incoming call audio. Everything else works fine. I have reset it from factory settings and reloaded as advised by Apple Tech support..This didn't help. Anyone have a solution?

    I have had it for a while..this just started last night...Everything else works perfectly..I can put it on speakerphone and hear...but it is barely audible otherwise!

  • I have 2 i4 phones.  I can sign on to iCloud on 1 but never on the other.  Does anyone have the answer to this.  I have tried to change my password but I still have the same problem.  I keep getting message "Verification Failed The request timed out"

    I upgraded to 2 -  i4 phones with 2 different phone numbers.  I can sign on to iCloud on 1 phone but never on the other.  I have changed my my password twice but no matter what I do, I still have the same problem.  I keep getting a message "Verification Failed The request timed out"  no matter how many times I try to sign on it always times out.  Before I upgraded to the i4, I had a i3GS and had the same exact problem.  Does anyone have any ideas???

    Firstly, go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with the ID you use for iCloud. A new password will be sent to your associated email address.
    If that doesn't work, for example because it's going to an address you can't access, then you will have to contact Support. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services' at the bottom of the page. In the next page click 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID'. In the next page select 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password' and click 'Continue'.

  • WHEN USING FACETIME, THE OTHER PERSON CAN SEE AND HEAR ME BUT I CANT HEAR THEM AND THEIR VIDEO IS A STILL PICTURES.. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY ANSWERS???

    When using Facetime.. the other person can see and hear me, but I can't hear or see them.. Does anyone have any solutions?? The only thing I can see is a still picture of them

    Hi mduggan,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If the other person can't see you during a FaceTime call, first use the Camera app on the iPhone to make sure the camera is working properly. If you don't see an image when using the Camera app, try these troubleshooting steps first:
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    You can find these steps and more information here:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    If the camera is working normally, next troubleshoot FaceTime using the steps in this article:

    All the best,

  • Firefox will not play .ogv video files when loaded from a server. Does anyone have any answers that will fix this?

    I've read the suggestions for fixing this, and none of them work. I've updated my .htaccess to match MIME types for .ogv, I've uploaded the files as both Binary and ASCII, neither method works. The .ogv file plays fine when you load it from a local file, but it will not play when viewed from a remote server. I've confirmed with my hosting company that the .htaccess and all other issues for HTML5 are up-to-date. Safari and Chrome play the HTML5 videos just fine, but Firefox will not. Does anyone have any concrete answers as to what the problem is. I'm also serving up the video files as .webm and .mp4, but neither of these formats works in Firefox either.

    That can happen if the server isn't configured properly to send the files with a by Firefox supported MIME type.
    *https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Properly_Configuring_Server_MIME_Types
    Did you check via the Web Console which headers Firefox receives when requesting the .ogv file?
    If that is OK then it is possible that the file is using an unsupported coding method.

  • I cannot log in with my apple I'd... Do anyone have an answer.

    I have a problem with logging into FaceTime with my apple Id, I even tried to make a new one..it still tells me, check my Internet connection....but my apple Id works for everything else.... Just wondering if anyone has an answer, thanks...

    The USB port on the AirPort base stations do NOT support the "advanced" features (scanning, copying, or faxing) of All-in-One (AiO) printers. However, if your AiO printer is network-ready (wire or wireless or both) it would bypass the AirPort's print server function and use its own to support all of those features.
