Desktop folder is missing

Hi!
I recently made a Arch installation with KDE 4, but the desktop folder is missing. Can I create manually?
Thanks. :-)

Why are my desktop folder icons missing?

why are my desktop folder icons missing?

Yes I have tried a restart, a shut down and restart, a coling off period for 5 minutes anda restart, an examination of view options and I still get nothing, no destop folders icons, just the title of the folder. The folders without icons will open and their contents are displayed, just not the icons. The only icons I see are the hard drives, I have 4 in my old mac pro. So what gives?

Can't find desktop folder (KDE 4.2).

For some reason or another my desktop folder is missing from my home director, any ideas?

I guess saving a file to the desktop directory fixed that issue. Now I just need to get my trashcan icon.

Unable to import-'Pictures' folder is missing in Destination panel?

My 'Pictures' folder is missing in my Destination panel, as well as 'Users', etc. It shows my C-drive which shows 'My music', but not 'my pictures'. When I click on 'create/choose' new distination folder using Explorer window, I choose the 'pictures' folder from there, but it doesn't create it. Not having this problem on my desktop computer, only my laptop (both are pc). For this reason, I'm unable to import photos. Any help is appreciated!

sorry

Terminal commands to Delete Desktop Folder?

Can anyone help me with the Terminal commands to delete the desktop folder? I'm not much with Unix. It's related to my previous post about missing drive space/deleted files. I'm planning to try deleting the folder then restoring from time machine.
Thanks,

the command is
*sudo rm -rf ~/Desktop*
(you'll have to enter your admin password to make it work). Could you explain why you want to do this? If you have a TM backup and a serious problem with your system I would recommend doing a full system restore from TM.

Found your other post. (I even replied to it). You should definitely do a full system restore from TM. It will reformat your drive and cure the problem with the missing space.

DW help folder is missing?

When I click on 'Help' in DWCS6, it tells me the help system cannot be launched because the help folder is missing. Then ' Please install the help folder or reinstall Dreamweaver'. Previously I could view Help online, now it has gone missing. Is this another example of CC enhancements, designed to make life as difficult as possible for anyone not wanting to subscribe to Adobe's new meal ticket?
As an aside, I see I have ended up with a Creative Cloud App on my W8 desktop, apparently installed by stealth when I checked for CS6 updates and a new version of Adobe Update Manager was installed.
Back to the question - is it still possible to download a copy of the help folder, without going to the trouble of uninstalling and reinstalling DWCS6? This sort of thing can create more problems than it solves, based on past experience.

Bhawna has provided everything, and this is just additional information.
To help troubleshoot this issue, do the following steps:
Check if the Adobe Help Manager is installed (on Windows, go to \Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Help).
Click Adobe Help.exe.
The Adobe Help Manager should launch showing the local content available for download. If there is new content available for download, the download status appears as “Pending Download”. Select the CS6 Reference PDF that you want to download and click the Update button.
Once you’ve downloaded the PDF to your computer, you can select Yes for Display Local Help Content Only in the General Settings panel of the Adobe Help Manager. When you select Help from your product menu, the downloaded PDF is displayed.
More details can be found in http://blogs.adobe.com/mallika/2012/07/five-faqs-about-offline-help-for-creative-suite-6.h tml.

I copy 409 photos from iPhoto but my desktop folder only has 150 pictures!

I copy 409 photos from iPhoto but my desktop folder only has 150! What has gone wrong?

There are a number of reports of folks having issues with copy/paste or drag/drop from the iPhoto Window right now. No known solutions at this time.
FYI
Copy and Paste from the iPhoto Window gets your iPhoto Previews. These are missing metadata, middle quality versions of your photos.
Exporting your photos means you can choose to export at higher quality and write the metadata to the files in the process.
You can also choose what to export: Originals, Edited versions, different formats, different naming structures.
You won't have a change in file size if you export your original. If you export to Jpeg you can choose the amount of compression applied, or losslessly to png or tiff.
Put it this way: copy/paste or drag/drop are a handy way to get a quick copy of a shot. If you want a quality version use the export options.

I can't find my Desktop folder on any of my TM backups

Hi everyone,
This is my first forum post, and I'm downright desperate.
I have migrated from my old MBP to a brand new one this weekend, and used Time Machine in an external HD to move my data. I had TM set up since February, with no options/exceptions.
As far as I can tell, everything migrated to the new computer perfectly (applications, preferences, documents, music, cookies, etc) except there is nothing on my Desktop after migration. It just so happens that I have (had?) a folder in my Desktop with all my graduate school work.
I have already looked in TM in all the backups since February, and there is no Desktop folder in my user account folder in any of them. Does this mean that TM has never backed up my Desktop from the beginning???
(BTW, I'm also having trouble to simply search for specific files when I look into the TM backup folder in my external HD. Whenever I use Spotlight, it only finds stuff on other folders in that external HD, but it doesn't return any hits from the TM backup folder, even when I look for files that I can see there just by browsing. How can I solve this?)
If it's true that TM never backed up my Desktop, my problem is then getting to my Desktop in the old computer. Trouble is, I had Leopard reinstalled at the Apple Store when I bought the new computer, since the system was supposedly backed up. As far as I know, the old computer was wiped clean and Leopard reinstalled in about 20 minutes by a Genius.
I have been told by them after the fact to use Data Rescue II to try and scour the old computer's internal drive by booting it up in target mode, but I haven't attempted it yet. I was told that if the Leopard reinstall was done in a specific way, I would be able to get to the old files with Data Rescue II still with their names and folder structures if they haven't been overwritten. However, if it was done 'another way', I would have lost the folders and any recovered files would be restored to a new location under a generic name like 'recover000001'. I'm afraid that in this case I will be overwhelmed by all the files in my old system (even if DRII supposedly recognizes file types), and I won't be able to sort through all of them to get at my important work.
Does anyone know what is the best way to get my data back???? It will be two years of work down the drain if I can't access the contents of that folder on my old Desktop.
Thanks so much for any advice!

yes, that's what it means.
I don't understand. Why would it be that TM did not backup my Desktop? The Geniuses were not able to answer this question. I'm completely sure I didn't mark any exceptions when I set it up in February, and I've read other people also had similar problems with some of their folders and/or files (there's another thread where another user lost his Downloads folder; I accidentally replied to it instead of creating this new topic -- my apologies).
(BTW, I'm also having trouble to simply search for specific files when I look into the TM backup folder in my external HD.

you have to use spotlight from TM interface, not directly from finder. start TM, scroll to a backup and use the search field to start a search.
That worked great; thanks. Is there a way to search across different backup dates in one go, or do I have to keep clicking back through time with the same search string?

I don't understand why
you did that. did you have some problems with your old computer?
I didn't have any problems with the old computer. I was actually giving it to my mother for Mothers Day as her first Mac, and I wanted to make sure she would have as 'brand new' Mac experience as I could provide her.
, since the system was supposedly backed up. As far as I know, the old computer was wiped clean and Leopard reinstalled in about 20 minutes by a Genius.

this is your one and only hope of getting anything back if you did an erase and install. if you did an archive and install then old your old data will be in the "previous systems" folder at the top level of the hard drive.
Message was edited by: V.K.
Thanks. You reckon professional data recovery services would come up with more stuff (especially filenames and folder structures) than I would be able to, if I tried using DR myself? I'm terrified of going through my whole HD and sorting out the hundreds of thousands of files that weren't in the desktop in the first place.
I appreciate your help, V.K.; I still cannot get over the fact that TM can be so unreliable. What could have caused this catastrophe on my computer and in other users? They were lucky that they still had their data when they noticed TM wasn't backing it up, and the solutions were bone-chillingly similar to Windows voodoo tricks (e.g. delete the old TM plist, hard reboot, pray, and see if it works now). If this is the case, I can't see any options other than doing full manual backups periodically, but that defeats the TM purpose in the first place. Any thoughts or ideas?
Thanks!

IMovie won't open and Library Folder is missing in Finder

A few days ago, I downloaded the recent iMovie program. I even used it to make a video. Today I wanted to make another one but iMovie won't open at all. The wheel just spins and spins and nothing opens. So, I went into Finder and noticed my Library folder was missing. How did that happen? Is that why iMovie won't open?
I searched the Discussion Forums and saw how to find the Library folder in Lion. (Press Option and hit the Go button in the menu bar.) But, I have Maverick. I tried this anyway but I have no idea what/where the Go button is.
How do I find, or replace if necessary, my Library folder and get iMovie to open? I have a mid-2007 iMac that's been upgraded from Snow Leopard, so I don't want to put the Install Disk in and lose everything. Help?

Thanks. Sorry for the confusion with the Library Folder. It's just been a long day all around.
Memory 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
I know it's older but it's never caused me a day's trouble since I've owned it. I hate to replace it until the next upgrade.
ETA: I just opened the Activity Monitor in Utilities and it says, out of 4GB of Memory, that 3.88GB are Used. I don't understand this because I have very, very few things loaded onto my iMac at all. I've always had tons of memory left. I don't have any music on my PC at all. No movies, either. My dock only has Finder, Launchpad, Dashboard, Safari, Firefox, TextEdit and System Preferences.
Here's a report from my Activity Monitor. Any suggestions? I have no idea what some of these things are, like: CalendarAgent (I don't use calendar at all),

I am having problems backing up my photos in iPhoto and dragging them to desktop folder to burn out of iPhoto!

I have been having issues with backing up photos in iPhoto for awhile. I used to burn them right out of iPhoto by selecting the folder, going to Share and then Burn. I have been getting an error message that says "Burn failed because there was an error producing data for the burn". So I started to drag the photos from iPhoto to a folder on the desktop, then burn the folder to a disc. This worked for awhile. Recently iPhoto will not allow me to drag photos to a desktop folder. I can select them in iPhoto, click on them and it shows the plus sign and number of photos, but when I drop them it does nothing. I can do it one at a time for about 4 photos, then it stops again. I also tried to export the photos into a folder on the desktop and it says Unable to create /Users/... I do back up photos to a TimeCapsule as well, but like to have a DVD in a fireproof safe too. I also ran disk utility repair disk permissions. I have an account for my wife as well and both iphotos share the same iphoto library but ths has never been a problem until recently. She also uses aperature, but pulls the photos from iphoto to edit them. Any help would be much appreciated.

Updated to Maverick, had a desktop folder for pictures I had transferred from my PC. That folder is gone, no icons in Pictures in Finder but the photos are still in images in All My Files! How do I get the organized folder back?

I had transferred all my photo files from my PC when I got my Mac Air. They were in a desktop folder all nicely organized in files (event, dates, etc.) That desktop folder is now gone after the Maverick update. When I click on Pictures in finder it comes up empty (not even a link to Iphoto) I had not put these pictures in iphoto yet. Before Mavericks when I clicked on Pictures the Iphoto icon and my folder showed up. My Iphoto itself is working fine and and those pictures are still intact. I know the pictures are on my Mac because they are all in Images, but they are no longer organized and are no longer in sequence. I would like to know if I my "intact" folder may still be somewhere on my computer. If not what is the best and most efficient way to get those photos from the images only file to Iphoto?

I actually just noticed the "media" option is no longer listed along the left side of Finder. I think that is where I accessed iphoto and my other picture folder.
There is no media option in the Finder. That only turns up in Open... Dialogues like this:

Indesign cs6 freezes/crashes on Windows 7 64 bit selecting desktop folder

Dear All,
I'm experiencing a very strange behaviour of Indesign CS6 who freezes/closes in specific situations connected with desktop folder.
I try to explain the issue:
I got a brand new PC with Xeon CPU E3-1246 3.5 GHZ, 8 GB RAM, Windows 7 64bit and Clean installation of Indesign CS6.
Indesign works great and fast, but everytime I try to open a file (from file ---> open) and select the desktop folder the program stop thinking for 1 second than closes down without crashing, without errors without anything.
Same thing happens when I try to insert a picture in a frame selecting it from the desktop folder (only this folder, all the others work perfectly).
I couldn't find anything useful on the internet to solve this kind of problem.
Does anybody had the same problem? How did you solve that?
Thanks in advance for help.

The following is the error code:

"Desktop" folder on external hard drives

Hi all,
I have regularly seen a folder called "Desktop" appear on my external firewire and usb drives. I usually delete it and think nothing more but today I attached a new external drive and there it was again......
Why is it there? What use is it?
Does anyone know????

It is probably a relic of Apple's old OS, which lives on partly in the Carbon library. Used to, you could have two paths:
Macintosh HD:Desktop Folder:latest_updates.doc
Macintosh HD:Desktop Folder:latest_updates.doc
and they would refer to two distinct files. In some respects, the good 'ole days weren't all that good.

Desktop folder is missing
