Can't add to Finder

I used to be able to move files/folders to the finder window. I can't move them now. I can remove files/folder from the finder window. I have no clue why I can't do this now.
I also have tried to change preferences to include my hard drive in the finder and I change the preferences, and then I go back to the finder and my preferences were deleted. I can only see my external drives when I go to the Desktop.
I would appreciate any help on this as I use this feature a lot.
Thanks!!

  • HT201493 How can I add my daughter to Find my friends when we have the same itunes account and that's how they make us log in?

    How can I add my daughter to Find my friends when we have the same itunes account and that's how they make us log in?

    1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.

    2)
    Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Then on the iPod go to
    - Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
    - Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
    - Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers
    Contnue to use the commpn ID/account for Settings>iTunes and App stores.

    You have to have enabled Find My iPhone on your phone before it was lost in order for it to be located.  If you did, you could play a loud two minute sound on it even if it was on slient, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f19b5.

  • I've read that there is an add-on that adds Sync, included with FF starting with 4.0, to Firefox 3.6, but can't seem to find it. I'd like to use it to merge my 3.6 stuff into my FF11 profile...

    I've read that there is an add-on that adds Sync, included with FF starting with 4.0, to Firefox 3.6, but can't seem to find it. I need to keep a zoo of different browser versions, including 3.x, but want to sync stuff nonetheless.
    So far, I tried variants of "Weave" and "Sync" on addons.m.o, and Google, but to no avail.

    I use several different computers, different software, and a mobile device, too. I have the bulk of my important data in a FF3.6 profile, and I also need to keep the FF3.6 for web development purposes (every version renders slightly different, but the difference between 3.6 and 11 is very noticable). Also, FF11 has some problems, like forgetting passwords, but accrued an independent set of bookmarks, passwords, add-ons etc., so trashing that is not an option, either (although I am usually on 11 these days). Wading through tons of stuff to merge is not a good option either, and Sync would have helped to unify all of that.
    @TonyE: Would Xmarks and LastPass merge with Sync data from newer FF? I'll give that a whirl.
    @cor-el: Thank you for the link. It does explain the current situation, but the arguments put forward in that article are that highly aggravating marketing speak that I have come to expect from the Mozilla Corp. guys.
    I still don't understand why they couldn't let the addon online for a few more days, maybe with a disclaimer that support ran out on mm/dd/yyyy, and that it will e.g. be pulled together with the main product.
    @Tylerdowner: I'll probably try to merge the stuff from 3.6 into 11 by creating another FF11 profile and then use Sync between them.
    @all: Thank you so far. If someone has a pointer for where to get eg. the source code of the pulled Sync, I'd highly appreciate that, too.

  • Someone stole my iPhone I have find my iPhone app but it's not working how can I add my iPhone to d app from my iPad???

    Someone stole my iPhone I have find my iPhone app but it's not working how can I add my iPhone to d app from my iPad???

    Having the app is irrelevant.
    The ONLY thing that matters is whether "Find My iPhone" was enabled on the missing device before it was lost/stolen.  If it was not enabled, there is nothing that can be done.

  • HT4061 can i add my daughters i phones to my "find my i phone app"

    Can i add my daughters i phone to my "find my i phone app" ?

    If you share the same apple id and have unique name for each device, then you can log into icloud.com and use find my iphone for your daughter.
    If you don't then you will need to know her apple id and password, then you can search her either thru your computer or directly on our iphone.

    Thank you rk. The usefulness of image capture had somehow pased me by. To answer my own second question in case anyone needs to know, to put your printer in the dock you open printer & scanner in preferences, highlight your printer and drag its icon to the dock (in chains if necesary!)

  • How can I add a birthday without creating a new contact?

    Hiya,
    I would like to add birthdays to my calendar for my friends children and my neices and nephews.  However, I don't want to create a new contact for all of them. Can I add an entry into the birthdays calendar only?  When I add an entry in iCal on my MacBook I can edit it to a specific calendar, but I have no option to add to the birthday calendar.  If I really have to create a contact for these entries, can I select which contacts show up in my iPhone? Obviously I don't want a huge contacts list for babies and small children in my phone!
    I tried Dates to iCal and it was good for anniversaries, but for other birthdays it wasnt as they appear as the parents name and then the entry (e.g. Jane: 2nd Sophies Birthday) which I find very annoying!
    I hope one of you geniuses out there can help me!
    Thanks very much.

    Also open the calendar app, tap on calendars bottom middle of the screen and make sure under other you have birthdays ticked in the calendars

    Hi,
    For many 17" (or 17.3") machines such as Envy 17, dv,  Pavilion 17 .... you can add a second HDD (my old loan dv7 has two HDD's and my current loan Envy 17 also has 2 HDD's). You would need the following kit:
