    Hi Sukanto,
    Welcome! I didn't think this was something you see there anyway, I could be wrong. What operating system to you have?
    Can you see the printer icon in control panel? Let me know if you need help to answer these questions.

  • I DON'T SEE CD/DVD ICON ON DESKTOP

    When I insert a DVD-RW I don't see Icon on desktop. I repaired permission but still nothing
    Thanks for help

    Go into Finder on the menu bar. In General check which items you want to appear on the desk top. If you choose *CDs,DVDs, and iPods* it will appear when one of these is connected.

  • Cant find the home sharing icon on my ipad

    The support page tells me to enter a file name but not where to enter it I cant see a home sharing icon on the iturnestore page

    Look in Settings > Music > Home Sharing. What is required is your Apple ID.
    Home Sharing must also be turned on in iTunes on your computer (File Menu > Home Sharing) and iTunes must be running.

  • Cant see my airplay icon, cant use my remote app on either of my devices

    Hi
    I have the gen 3 apple TV and somehow i can no longer airplay, from my mac book pro, ipad, ipad mini or iphone.  It used to work on all of my devices and now I cant see the icon. 
    When I open my remote app it tells me that I have to turn on Home sharing on my itunes or apple tv.  It is turned on, on all of my devices.
    I have been trying to trouble shoot this issue (all of my devices have the latest updates) and I still cant use my remote or air play
    Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    I was able to fix the issue by unpluging the apple tv, router, and modem all for about 2-3 minutes and then replugging them in

  • Hi, I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro but cant get the mirroring function to work with Apple TV.  I've got the most recent Software 10.7.5 but cant see the mirroring icon or turn this on.  I'm able to mirror from my Ipad but not my Mac, any thoughts?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    AirPlay Mirroring is supported on your Mac, but it needs OS X Mountain Lion (10.8). See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404
    You have two possibilities:
    1. Make a backup, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion to upgrade to this OS X. Then, you will find the AirPlay Mirroring icon at the top right of the display, on the menu bar, or on System Preferences > Displays.
    2. Keep OS X Lion and use AirParrot > http://www.airparrot.com
    Both options work properly, but I recommend AirPlay Mirroring as it doesn't need a third-party program

  • I cant see the airplay icon on mi iphone 3gs

    i cant see the icon of airplay on my iphone 3gs i have a iphones 3gs wiht ios 5.1.1 i will like to use the airplay betewm mi iphone 3gs and my itunes on my pc , please help me with this NOTE I dont have a Mac i have PC with W7 but i read that is posible plesase help me , and itunes dont show me the icon , when i had a 3g he show me the icone but i cant see it 

    This is from the "Troubleshooting AirPlay" article:
    Resolution
    If the AirPlay icon doesn't appear
    Check for the AirPlay icon ( ) in the recently used apps section on your iOS device, or in iTunes on your computer (as in these articles about how to use AirPlay and how to use AirPlay Mirroring). The icon will only appear if your device or computer is logged onto a Wi-Fi network which has an AirPlay-enabled recipient, such as Apple TV (2nd generation or 3rd generation).
    If you are still unable to see the AirPlay icon, try one of the following steps:
    Verify that your AirPlay-enabled devices have the most up-to-date software or firmware.
    Verify that your iOS device has Wi-Fi turned on. Enable Wi-Fi on your iOS device by going to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    Verify that all your AirPlay-enabled devices are logged on to the same home Wi-Fi network (check the home network names on your devices to confirm).
    If trying to AirPlay, or AirPlay mirror, to your Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation), ensure that AirPlay is enabled on your Apple TV as well. You can enable or disable AirPlay on Apple TV in the AirPlay menu: Settings > AirPlay
    Check Internet or network connectivity on all affected devices.
    Temporarily disable firewalls (both network and local) and security software. Security software and firewalls may block ports that AirPlay uses to stream content. You can often resolve issues with security software by updating, correctly configuring, or uninstalling security software.
    If attempting to use AirPlay from a third-party app or a website from your Safari app on your iOS device, confirm that the app or website is AirPlay compatible (refer to the developers of the app or website for additional information).

    I had a similar issue with HAL on my netbook (Lenovo S10e) running arch i686 kernelversion 2.6.32. When typing as root
    $ /etc/rc.d/hal start
    it failed.
    I then killed the hald process via
    $ killall hald
    and now it starts fine.
    Don't know what caused the problem, has there been a hal update recently?

    If I put the dics into my DVD Player, it plays just fine.  If I insert it into a computer, it opens the disc like a memory stick or something: I can open the files, but it won't play via Macs DVD Player. Can I do something so Macs will recognize the disc as a Dvd?
