Cd- and HDs icon no more on the deskop

hey everybody.
iam a little in trouble with my emac. iam using mac osx 10.2.x, dunno exactly. since a few days there are no more cd/DVDR - icons and no icons from portable HD or usb-sticks on the desktop and i dont no how i can get hese icons back or what is more important, are there any other ways to get "on" the datas of protable HD or the cd datas, i can only see for e´xample by a picture cd the content of the cd by using iphoto...
thnaks for the help, mo

hey
i looked in the disc utility prog and this portable HD is shown there, but only as a HD and not as a volume. is it neccessary to see the drive on the desktop or in the finder to set this as an volume? whats the difference and how can i do this, if its neccessary? there are also some datas on this drive so i dont want to format this drive.
and something else, i said in my first post that i cant see the content of a cd-rom, this work again, i dunno how.. now i cant see the icon for the cd when i lay in a blank (empty) cd.

  • My system preferences have suddenly disappeared! I have the language and text icon but that is the only icon that is displayed! where have my system preferences gone and how do i get them back??

    I went to my system preferences today and they are all gone except for my language and text icon! I have the language and text icon but that is the only icon that is displayed! where have my system preferences gone and how do i get them back??

    Double click on the picture of the HD on your desktop, then look at the bottom of the window that opens.
    First check the S.M.A.R.T. status on your HD: Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility > in the panel at left, select the first item in the list/your HD mechanism > look atthe bottom of the main window next to S.M.A.R.T. status and see if it says “Verified” or something more ominous like “Failing.”
    If S.M.A.R.T.status is "Verified," run Repair Disk: Boot from install disc (insert disc > restart > immediately hold down c key and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”) > at first screen select the language and click Continue > click on the Utilities Menu in the menu bar > open Disk Utility > select your HD in the panel on the left side > click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at least twice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If that doesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility such as DiskWarrior or if the directory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or you may have a damaged HD (repair utilities can only repair the directory structure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quit the installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.

    Hi, I´m new at the community. My book about the life of a bull who died in a bull fight was a best seller in Perú, and is been studied in many schools there. But I don't live there any more. People ask me about the book and is not any more at the libraries. I would like to make a tradition to english, portugues, and may be another language that could be interesting to do.
    I am a psychologist with an specialization in couple and family therapy. I am writing more and more material and the people who reads me are asking me more.
    My mother thong is Spanish, my second Portuguese , and my third is english. I apologize if I make some mistakes trying to express myself.
    The situation is that I need to upload my book to iBook and I don't know how to do it. If I can pass that step I will like to upload more material I am sure people will enjoy and learn as they did with my first one.
    I really appreciate any help.

    Thanks in advance

    The other option besides the drag_n_drop support
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/dnd/intro.htmlis to make up something on your own. You could use a glasspane (see JRootPane api for overview) as mentioned in the tutorial.
    Here's another variation using an OverlayLayout. One advantage of this approach is that you can localize the overlay component and avoid some work.

  • How do I store and access while traveling more than the last 1000 photos using iOS

    I would like to store 2 or 3000 photos (unlimited would be even better) that I can search thumbnails and access anytime anywhere without using the GB's on my IOS device for that storage.  iPhone and/or iPad devices.  iCloud stores the last 1000,,, not sufficient for me.  I have iPhoto on my Macbook and a Mac Mini where I store the photos at home.  Fee free is highly desired.  Thanks for any help you can provide. 

    Have you tried Dropbox?
    https://www.dropbox.com/tour
    You can store your photo files in the "pictures" folder and access them from anywhere.
    I have iPhoto on my Macbook
    Do you take your MacBook with you, when you are travelling? Then the MacBook and a small external drive for backing up the photos should suffice.

  • Any way to use a quick and dirty icon like cLabel in the quick tools toolbar?

    I am a javascript cut-and-paster with ability to cobble things together.
    In previous versions of Acrobat, I had tools that were added to the toolbar using the technique shown in this script:
    app.addToolButton({cName: "MyFlattenButton",
       cLabel: "Flatten",
       cEnable: "event.rc = (app.doc != null);",
       cExec: "flattenPages();"
    That would create a toolbar button with the "icon" that read "Flatten" which is all that I needed.  I could click on it and it would flatten all pages in the document.
    I used this to create several different tools, all with different names and cLabels.
    This script still works in Acrobat XI (it adds the tool to the add-on tools list, and then I can add it from there to the quick tools toolbar).  The cLabel names show up in the add-on tools list, but not in the quick tools toolbar.  In the toolbar they all use the same generic icon (but they all work correctly).
    From reading in this forum I see that there is a way to create a custom icon but it does not look easy.  Is there any simple way to just have text appear as the icon as I used to do for earlier versions of Acrobat?
    Thanks.

    One further question...
    I found a code snippet somewhere online that attempted to deal with this issue.  That led me to this (failed) solution:
    this.importIcon("myIconFlat", "/D/J/CAD Standards/Stamps/Acrobat tools/flatten.jpg", 0);
    var flatIcon = util.iconStreamFromIcon(this.getIcon("myIconFlat"));
    app.addToolButton({cName: "MyFlattenButton",
       cLabel: "Flatten",
       oIcon: flatIcon,
       cEnable: "event.rc = (app.doc != null);",
       cExec: "flattenPages();"
    The problem there is that importIcon is not allowed from a folder-level javascript, apparently.  Would there be any way to use the importIcon part of this from the console and then cut and paste some output into the rest of the script?  Just looking for a way to get the icon into my script.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

  • So like, I called my someone in FaceTime, and after 6 or more rings, the person answered, I asked why it took so long for her to answer and she said that she answered at the 1st or 2nd ring? Is she lying or is it just that it was a delay in FaceTime?

    I called someone in FaceTime and it rang 6 or more times and she answered, I asked her why it took her so long to answer, she said that she answered at the 1st or 2nd ring. Is it a FaceTime delay or anything? Or was she just lying?

    I think she's not lying, unless you have a reason to think that. The same thing can happen with a phone call. It can ring multiple times on your end and only ring once or twice on the other end.

  • Why do pay and go tariffs cost more for the iphone?

    I only ask as I'm coming off contract looking at pay and go for a duration, but cannot understand why identical packages (minutes, data, text) are more expensive for iphones? I use a macbook pro and as far as I am aware broadband charges are the same for mac or PC.

    As Peru Bob said, the upgrade is just a pricing thing. PSE is a popular loss leader for many big box stores and online retailers,so it rarely makes sense to pay adobe's price for the upgrade. Right now if you're in the US I believe that costco, amazon, NewEgg, and B&H all have the boxed version for $49.99.

    Hi,
    This may happen because of you Internet connection. The reason why it only plays half of the song is that when it got downloaded, something might have happened to your connection. I realize that you can't re-download the songs, so try going to a friend's computer and download them again and then put them on your computer. Tell me if this works.
