Blackberry does not appear on Mac desktop etc.

I downloaded the Blackberry Desktop Manager program for my MacBook 4,1 - Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L31a) - and while the program is thoroughly a let down, I thought the capability to have the Blackberry appear in the Finder would be a useful workaround to send photos and media between the device and my laptop. Unfortunately this did not work either, as the Blackberry does not appear anywhere on my desktop when connected.
Yes, the Blackberry Desktop Manager appears when I connect my new Curve 8350, but for some reason RIM has not been able to create a Pictures folder within the program yet? Verizon has of course has forced the hand of RIM to disable the available user RAM, making slightly tech saavy users purchase a microSD card but to force the masses to purchase all their media from VZ tones. I suppose I can live with this but in the meanwhile it would be great if any of you Blackberry geniuses out there could help me get my Blackberry Curve 8350 to appear on my desktop...for now.
I appreciate all your feedback.
Thank you.

RIM! Thanks for even acknowledging my post!
Feedback of any sort is welcome.
Blackberry Destop Manager still does not allow my Blackberry Curve 8530 to appear on my desktop.
Thanks.

"This disk does not appear on the desktop"

I have 3 Firewire drives on my iMac. On occasion, instead of the normal orange Firewire disk drive icon, I get a generic icon that looks like a small window with a blue bar at the top. If I run Disk Warrior, it says "This disk does not appear on the desktop". Worse, sometimes the system looses one or more drives completely and has to be restarted. All of the external drives check out good with Disk Warrior. All drives power-down the spindle when inactive for some period of time. Any idea what might be going on?

After installing an App, the icon does not appear on the desktop?

After installing an App, the icon does not appear on the desktop? Where would I find it?

Some people have found that an app (usually iBooks for some reason) hasn't appeared on a homescreen until after the iPad has been reset and has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
Also depending on what the app is have you got an age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ?

After installing FF 6.02 on Windows 7, the icon does not appear on the desktop and the program does not appear in the All Programs menu

I just received a new laptop running windows 7 home premium and wanted to install Firefox on it. I tried to install the most recent version. When i installed 6.0.2, the icon did not appear on my desktop (it was a hidden file in my desktop folder) and the program group does not appear in the start menu's All Programs list. The program *does* run though, at least it did a few times. This happened whether i installed as administrator or not. Installing firefox 3.6.22, though, DID create the program group and desktop icon, and upgrading from there removed them again. installing other programs (e.g. vlc, trillian, etc.) did not cause this behavior. I also tried this both with and without McAfee's realtime protection running.

External HD does not appear in Mac HD

I have a 2 TB Western Digital External Storage Drive for Mac, which I used to back up some data, attached to my G3 (upgraded processor to G4 Sonnet) B/W desktop. The drive (My Book) and a separate disk documentation (WD SmartWare) appears on the computer's desktop. The My Book does not appear as a device when I view the contents of the system HD. The SmartWare Disk does appear as a device on the HD. I can access the drive and the contents and even eject the Drive. But since it does not appear as a device when I bring up the contents of the System drive, I can no longer save any data to the external drive. Since I can access the contents of the drive, it did initially work. i tried to retrace my steps but can not think of anything I did. I attached the WD external Drive to my G4 PowerBook and both drives appeared under the PB's system HD.
Soes anyone have an idea what might have done to cause this problem and how I can get it back to function correctly?

Hi Darrel,
Some ideas to check...
In Finder's Menu, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes".
Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a 1 or 2 if there are no real files in them, and reboot.
If it does contain data...
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2474
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

Finder does not appear in All Desktops

Suppose that you have set up multiple Desktops from Mission Control.
From the Dock, I choose Finder > Options > (Assign To) All Desktops. This is so that varius open windows on the Desktops will appear on All Desktops. However, this setting does not survive a restart. That is, after a restart, an open window on one Desktop will not appear on another Desktop.
I have tried to delete the file ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. But, the All Desktops setting still does not survive a restart.
How can I overcome this issue?

This calls for an Applescript or formal application

TS3638 Sign in window does not appear in Mac App Store.

I have been trying to work this out for a week or so. I already tried verifying and repairing disk permissions, as well as deleting the com.apple.appstore.plist file. Whenever I click the sign-in button (featured page or purchases page) nothing happens. I don't have FruitMenu or APE installed. There doesn't seem to be any help on Apple Support other than this: Mac App Store: Sign in sheet does not appear, or does not accept typed text. I have also tried downloading an app that I had previously purchased, to see if the log-in would come up, and nothing. Please Help!

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Also nothing when you try to sign into your account with Sign in from the Store dropdown menu?

5th gen ipod does not connect to mac desktop or itunes

My ipod does not connect with my desktop or itunes (ie when I plug the ipod in using the original USB cable nothing happens--no charging no recognition that it has been connected). My nano does work with the same cable so I know it's not that. I've followed the support instructions resetting, downloading the latest software and restarting. I cannot, however, restore since the first step of the instruction is to connect the ipod and wait for it to show in the source list in itunes. It is also interesting that when I use the car charger the ipod does charge and shows the charging icon.
Any suggestions?

I guess i can lend my voice to the conversation. my ipod "locks up" when i connect to my computer also. i just updated itunes and have not been able to connect. there is no ipod folder on my computer when i search through ""finder". i have to "reset" it after i disconnect to continue to play it. i have done everything short of "restoring" due to i have over 3000 songs and i'm unable to back up. the manuel refers to a disk to update. i can only play songs, and recharge. need help to.

How to make Nano NOT appear on Mac desktop as connected drive when I plug in to recharge it? Just want charging, not syncing, and don't want to unmount drive each time.

I have a 6th generation iPod Nano.
I almost exclusively use it as an FM radio and as a pedometer -- so far I have not loaded any songs onto it for listening, nor do I intend to in the future.
Here's my problem:
When my Nano runs out of juice, I have to use the charging cord to plug it into to my iMac's USB port to recharge the Nano. However, whenever I do so, two different (unwanted) actions happened:
First, the act of plugging in the iPod auto-launched iTunes, for syncing. I solved this problem by finding the preference check box for launching iTunes when connecting an iPid, and UNchecking the box. That worked, problem solved.
However, the second automatic action is that the iPod appears as a connected drive on the iMac desktop, as any external device with a drive would appear when connected to any Mac. But I have no need for this to be happening -- I don't intend to upload anything to the iPod, nor to sync it, or whatever -- the only reason I ever connect the iPod to the iMac is to RECHARGE the iPod, not to tinker with the contents of what's on it.
The problem is, every time I then want to disconnect the charging cord, I have to manually "unmount" the iPod drive by dragging its desktop icon to the Trash, when then allows the "it is now safe to disconnect your external drive" state to obtain, allowing me to then unplug it without getting a warning message telling me I shouldn't have just disconnected a connected drive without first unmounting it.
This wouldn't be such a bother, except that the 6th generation iPod Nano has a new "feature" which makes it impossible to see how far along the charging is progressing while it is still in the act of charging. Thus, the only way to know if it is has become fully charged is to unplug it, and look at the battery monitor. While is it still connected and charging, all that displays on the iPod is the "charging now" battery icon, which does not reveal just how the charging is progressing, or if it is fully charged yet. (My iPhone, by way of contrast, displays during charging a battery icon which reveals how far charged it is by that point.)
As a result of this Nano "feature," I often find myself having to connect and disconnect the Nano two or three or more times each time I'm charging it, so I can simply check how far along the charging has gotten, since I want to disconnect it as soon as it has finished charging and get back to using it.
But so far, I have not been able to find any kind of setting or preference which allow me to identify this device as one which I DON'T want to "mount" each time it is plugged in.
All I want to do is just plug in the iPod, and be able to unplug it, without having to to ANY shenanigans on the computer itself. Just plug in = recharging, unplug = not charging any more. Simple.
Question: is there any way to achieve this? Or is it simply not possible, and must I manually unmount the iPod's drive (more than once, usually) each time I plug it in for recharging?

I should also point out that when I connect my iPhone, it DOESN'T appear as a connected drive on the desktop. Not sure how this can be so, since the iPhone also has a drive and also functions as an iPod if I want it to. I must have changed some setting to achieve this non-appearance, but don't remember what I must have done.
What's the secret?

Security update 2011 002 does not appear for Mac Mini

Hi,
the latest security update will not appear on my Mac Mini. Does anybody know this issue?
Thanks
Oliver

Hi Oliver,
Try to reset the local cache of the softwareupdateservice by going to:
/Users/yourUserName/Library/Caches/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate/
Delete the contents of that folder and check softwareupdate again.
Perhaps that cache.db has become corrupted.
Goodluck!

After start up, desktop does not appear on Mac Pro

I was working on my Mac Pro last night, steped away from it for about 20 minutes. The screen saver came on and froze, I was not able to exet out of the screen saver to the desk top. Had to force shut off, waited 1.5 minutes and restarted. As soon as the apple icon went away after starting up, the "beach ball of death" would not go away. I left the machine on for 10 minutes and still nothing, same light gray background and no key/mouse command would activate the desktop to open. This macnine is on it's second graphics card. Any thoughts?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
