  • Desktop icons and window commands

    I've had my MacBook Pro since August...having been on Windows for 12 years. I've done a lot of reading and am slowly getting used to it.
    I vaguely remember reading somewhere that putting icons on the desktop is something Apple discourages. Is that true and if so why?
    I'm also just curious why the 'close window' and 'diminish window', etc. commands are in the upper left corner instead of the right.
    Thanks,
    Liz

    Thank you all for your replies.
    Wow, now I understand why my PC was really slower then it should have been. Shish, by the time the Google shortcut on my desktop would open, I'd forgot what I wanted to look up. It has been a challenge learning to use tabs but at least now the sites open in time for me to know why the heck I'm going there. I am still finding it hard to keep everything in folders but I do like the clean look of the desktop now. I thought maybe Steve was a neat freak and that's why it's designed like that too
    And I too love keyboard shortcuts. Some of my apps won't close unless I use Command+Q. Then they close without that inane 'are you sure' menu popping up. I use the MacBook so shortcuts are a must.
    And BINGO, Yodsquick to why the 'close, etc' commands are on the left. I really did wonder if Steve was left handed although I thought maybe it was related to the Mac OS being based on Linux too. But sig...why DO they drive on the left side of the road in Europe?
    Thanks again,
    Liz

  • IPod doesn't appear in iTunes and Windows

    I have a next problem with connecting nano with Windows:
    iPod doesn't appear in iTunes: iTunes 7 diagnostic write that host-controller of bus IEEE 1394 was not found.
    Sometimes Windows see the demountable disk, but can't open it. Occasionally, when i charge nano, iTunes gives out the message, that iPod is damaged.
    After connecting iPod to the computer, it shows the "Do not disconnect" screen, which not disappear after nano disconnecting. And I need reset iPod everytime after charging.
    Does any help me?

    I read this article.
    I can't restore iPod because iPod Updater can't recognize it, when one connect to the computer.
    How to solve the problem: as i wrote, iTunes diagnostic informs that can't find the controller IEEE 1394 (WiFi), but I HAVEN'T WiFi card on computer, I use USB 2.0.

  • How do I remove annoying black box surrounding icons and windows...

    I hate to think that this something very simple but I can't figure it out.
    There is a black box that surrounds icons when I single click on them and while I'm in my browser its surrounding the red x circle in top left of window.
    Whole in iTunes it surrounds the main window with the list of music.
    Does anybody no what is this and how do I remove it??

    enter command+F5. this will turn off voice over which you've accidentally activated.
    That's a handy shortcut but if you want to check this and related things you can accidentally activate, open System Preferences > Universal Access

  • Firefox will not open when I click the icon and windows task manger indicates firefox is running.

    I can't open firefox. I click the icon, my cursor shows Firefox is loading, then nothing happens, the screen remains the same.

    Hi Iekard.
    Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC to see if the firefox.exe process is running. If it is, terminate it and try to run Firefox again.
    If that doesn't help, try running Firefox in safe mode. If it works like that, maybe it'll work again in normal mode.

  • Flash based ads not appearing in Firefox and windows 8

    My readers reported that my bloger based website WW.NEWSPADHO.COM that is adsense approved is not showing flash related ads on firefox and also on windows 8. Is there any solution for it. Should we customize the type of ads showing on our blog or any other solution ? In Firefox it may be due to missing plugins and what about windows 8. Because with increase in number of windows 8 users, our adsense ad views are decreasing. Plz help.

    I've branched this to a new thread, as the issue you're having in Firefox was distinct from the issue the other person was having in Internet Explorer.
    That said, it would be helpful if you could provide a clear description of the problem that you're having in Firefox, and some pertinent details, like the version of Flash Player and Firefox that you have installed.

  • All my hard drives (internal and external) have a small lock in the lower left corner of the icon and I don't have permissions to access. Permissions are set to 'Custom' in the get info window and I can't change them.

    All my hard drives (internal and external) have a small lock in the lower left corner of the icon and I don't have permissions to access. I have 3 user accounts set up and I cannot access any of them.   Permissions are set to 'Custom' in the get info window and I can't change them. Originally I had Snow Leopard installed on one hard drive and 10.5.8 installed on another.   I started to have some problems accessing data between them and so I tried changing the permissions on ONE hard drive partition.   The next thing I know, all my drives are locked (except the ones with the systems on them), the small lock appeared in the lower left corner of the drive icons and I don't have permissions to access any of them.   In the get info window, permissions are set to 'Custom' and I can't change them.

    There is suddenly a lock icon on my external backup drive!

  • Flashing finder icon and showing "don't restore windows" and "restore windows" text box

    hi, i hav problem with the flashing finder icon and showing "don't restore windows" and "restore windows" text box. im using macbookpro MAC OS X 10.7.5. i've search for solutions, lik relaunch the finder by pressing COMMAND+ALT+esc, but it didn't work for me...
    any1 can help me, thx...

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Hp officejet 4500 prints but does not appear in devices and printers in Windows 7

    My wireless hp officejet 4500g prints fine wirelessly but it  does not appear in Control Panel  Devices and Printers in Windows 7.  Do I have to go through all that uninstall and reinstall.  I've used Window 7 Troubleshooting Printer check and all was fine..  Thanks for any help

    Hi,
    If the printer successfully print, it do exists within Devices and Printers..
    Windows 7 may merge several devices into a single icon, right clicking a merged icon will let you then choose the specific device as you may see in the following screenshot as a sample:
    Check any existing printer icon and locate the one your printer combined with..
    If none of the printers does not list the 4500 printer make sure to right click the Computer icon within the Devices category, I notiice the printer sometimes merged within the computer as well, then you will see any printer options (e.g. Printer Properties, Printing Preferences within the computer menu.
    Hope that may help,

  • Changing the icon that appears in GNOME panel window list

    I've been playing around changing all my icons and stuff, but I can't figure out how to change the icon that appears in the GNOME window list, a bit like a favicon. I've changed the icon path in the application's entry in /usr/share/applications, but that had no effect. Does anyone know how to do this? I'm hoping it's not hard-coded into applications.

    The location of the icon used can be different for each program. So what program specifically did you want to change?

  • I appear to have lost my itunes icon and program is not listed in control panel

    I appear to have lost my ITunes icon and the program is not listed in the Control Panel under Programs. Nobody in the house has uninstalled it but it appears an update may have come through today which was loaded and now we cant find anything.

    If it is not listed in programs&features it looks as though it has been uninstalled.
    Try looking for the iTunes application in
    C:\Program Files\iTunes for 32 bit windows
    C:\Program Files (x86) for 64 bit applications.
    Is it there?
    If it isn't try downloading iTunes and installing iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Does it install and work normally, or something else?
    If there are any error messages give them in full.

    hello
    The problem appeared two days ago is that I can't open my mail app. everything was fine and functional. Now I double click on the icon and it does not respond. it receives mail and I can see push notifications on the mail icon but when  I try to open it is no use. OS Y 10.10.2 (14C1514)

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Restart the computer. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. Any custom stationery that you created may be lost. Ask for instructions if you want to preserve that data. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
