Desktop items gone...or hidden..?

After some attempts to run DiskWarrior from one HD to another I was asked for privileges and I must have done something wrong.
My desktops items are not there (don't appear on desktop) and I can't find them anywhere on my HDs.
But... tried to copy 2 older items which used to be on desktop from an external HD. It told me, those items are already there - on desktop (can't see them).
Is there a trick to make them visible..?
All those privileges...
Thanks

A quick check can be done from the terminal. Open up the terminal (/Applications/Utility/Terminal) and the type in the following (you can copy and paste if you'd like):
ls -a ~/Desktop
That will show you all the files, hidden and non-hidden, on your Desktop. HTH.

When I login, all of my desktop items are gone, the "Finder" icon is bouncing and a message asking to restore windows is blinking but unresponsive. I can't exit out of it. What do I do? I've tried force quitting, and it doesn't get rid of it.

Hey sunnyday7!
Here is an article that can help you address this issue:

Additional Information
OS X automatically relaunches the Finder when it is quit. If the Finder is unresponsive, use Force Quit to relaunch it. Select Finder in the Force Quit Window or Dock, then click Relaunch.

Lost all my desktop items when transfered it to a folder in Mahintos HD, Plz Help

There were photographs and videos of my new born baby on desktop, I did drag and drop to move all the desktop items to a folder in Machintos HD, Then I shut down the machine, after some time when I restarted that folder is not reflecting my files and all files from my desktop are gone and i can't find files even in finder but HD volume is same as b4, so I am sure the file is not deleted, its not even there in Trash, I use imac27 osx 10.9.5, It would be very kind act of yours if you can help me retrieve my new born baby's photographs and videos, very precious to me

Restore from your Time Machine backup, assuming these photos are precious to you then you should have been backing up the computer. If you have not then the files may still be on the machine, you just need t search for them. Use a search tool such as Find Any File to help locate them.

Expose hiding desktop items

Hi, I am a little puzzled with Expose. I have used it now for a while to show my desktop behind multiple widows and a colleague of mine who just started using a mac and brought me an issue that I have never seen before. When he engages expose, it wipes his desktop items off screen so that you can't see them. Both Drive icons and document icons are swept off. I have a feeling that there is an obvious solution, however, I can't find it. He is running the latest version of OSX.
Any ideas?

The only two things I can think of:
1) Possibly he is going into Spaces? That is the only way I can imagine the desktop items being hidden.
2) He is using Simple Finder.

Desktop file gone!

Loaded Maverick and then I rebooted and nothing is on my desktop, all the files with the exception of Macintosh HD are gone and I can't even drag anything onto the desktop! Yikes! What is going on?????

I resolved this by using Time Machine and getting all the Desktop items back. I am sure it had more to do with me doing something weird with Macfort rather than Maverick. I couldn't drag anything onto the Desktop becausethe Desktop folder was completely gone from my home file, really strange.

Xfce desktop items rearrange themselves between reboots

Hello, I am a new Arch Linux user and this is my first thread. Please pardon any possible mistakes I made on this post.
Almost every time Xfce starts the desktop icons are rearranged. After searching the wiki, I found this:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xf … themselves
So after deleting the said files, I restarted Xfce. The problem was not gone.
Then I noticed that it was more complicated: I think it's not the desktop item positions that are changing, but the desktop's margins.
Not all icons are rearranged; only those on the right and the bottom sides of the desktop, the last collumns and rows.
In /home/user/.config/xfce4/desktop/icons.screen0-1350x728.rc these files' positions change back to row=0 col=0 and cannot be placed back to their original location.
The next time I restart Xfce the inaccesible spaces on the desktop are ok once again, and I place the items there. Then the problem repeats itself.
Is there any configuration file I should have manually edited?
I'm using Xfce, xfwm with compositing enabled, and no conky or any other desktop decorations.

EDIT: This might be actually caused by removing USB flash drives while the computer is shut down. The mentioned file is not changed, ergo a mess is caused when it's read on startup. I can't confirm this, though.
EDIT #2: No, it happened again, and I had not removed any usb flash drives.

Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.desktop.plist file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.

Desktop is Gone, Mail and Safari were reset and a host of other problems

So, I opened my iMac G5 today and the first thing I noticed was that some of my widgets were gone, particularly all the ones that didn't come with the OS X installation (meaning the other ones I downloaded from different sites). And then I noticed that I couldn't access any of my mail when I looked at them in Mail. I was given an error message that read something like this: "you cannot view this message. it has not be downloaded from the server. you must go online". So anyway, I decided to shut down and turn my computer on again. And I was shocked to see that my desktop was gone, and my wallpaper had reverted back to the default wallpaper (but I was atleast able to find all the files that used to be on my desktop). And now, Mail has been reset (meaning, when I launch it, it asks me to set up a new account). iChat has been reset the same way as well. And for some very odd reason, my Safari browser has lost it's tabbed browsing ability, and I've lost all my bookmarks. I checked the version, and it says 2.0.4. Did I somehow revert back to on older version of Safari. So far, those are the only problems I've discovered. I'm terribly hesitant to turn my computer off again in fear that I might lose some more files for good.
Anyway, I have an idea of what the culprit might be. I downloaded this program from VEOH.com and decided to uninstall it last night. It came with an "uninstall how to" that asked me to type some stuff in Terminal (I knew I should have just kept that **** program!). This is what it asked me to type:
prompt> sudo /Applications/Veoh.app/Contents/Resources/uninstallveoh.sh
And then Terminal asked for my admin password, and I hit the Return key. Would anyone know, if this is what could be causing me all these problems? I also recently installed Yahoo 3.0 Beta 1. It conflicts with Mail. I can't open Yahoo 3.0 when Mail is running.
Also, I found the bookmarks.plist file for Safari. I'm wondering if I can somehow do something with this file so that I can get my old bookmarks back. Would really appreciate any help!
Ugh! I feel like a such a Windows user right now.

Hi, Barry.
Thanks for the reply! I've found all of my files (the ones that used to be on my old desktop), and I've been able to restore my bookmarks and all my old mail. Also, I just had to recheck "enable tabbed browsing" in Safari Preferences. I think I just figured out what I did wrong: I renamed my "home" folder. I was gonna change it back to it's original name, but I forgot to. Stupid me. So after restarting, I think it just moved all of my files into a new folder which I can still access by going to Macintosh HD >>> Users. All the files are there, including the widgets that I thought were missing. So now, I essentially have 4 folders under users, but I only have 3 user accounts. You think I can restore everything back to normal by just copying all of the old files back into my home folder again? But at any rate, I think I can live with having all my files just living in another folder. I lost my old "music", "pictures" and "movies" icons though (the ones at the left sidebar of the Finder window). Those are the only things I can't seem to find. So I just downloaded new icons.
What's a good brand of external firewire drives? I'm thinking of getting a Maxtor OneTouch III. Would you recommend that?

The multiple desktops are gone. Cntrl/right arrow no longer works

The multiple desktops are gone. Cntrl/right arrow no longer works. Nor does dragging a window to the right.

chiefgypsy,
Spaces no longer exists in Mountain Lion. The replacement, Mission Control, has a different implementaion but allows similar results.

Desktop items get unsorted after cold boot on Snow Leopard 10.6.2

The Desktop items get unsorted after cold boot on Mac OS X 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard).
I have about 25 items (mostly aliases of files or folders) on the Desktop, sorted as vertical rows on left and right side of the screen.
When the issue hits, they all get located as vertical rows on the right side of the screen, unsorted in relation to their custom relative position before the issue.
Any idea? Thanks.

Hi ApMaX
According to wikipedia the .DS_Store files on Mac OS X contain the metadata for icon position and view settings. If the file permissions for the Desktop .DS_Store file were incorrect then one could assume that the icon position and view settings aren't being saved.
First let us check the permissions on the .DS_Store file for the Desktop we can do this by running the following command in Terminal (located in the Utilities folder)
ls -ld /Users/<<UserName>>/Desktop/.DS_Store
replacing <<UserName>> with the short name of your user account (name as viewed in the finder sidebar)
On my system I get the following permissions readout
-rw-------@
Further info on .DS_Store files: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.DS_Store
If your permissions differ then we will look at correcting them.

This is configured in Finder preferences under the General icon. You can make some changes to that behavior.

I have Thunderbird 24.5.0. When I double click the desktop item to open it up, it opens immediately, but when I'm in the main page with all the folders on the left & the corresponding email details on the right of that same page, it seems to have problems. Before, when I would highlight a certain box / folder (whether it would b “inbox”, “sent” folder, “trash” folder, or whatever, it takes a good 5 min (minimum) to open that certain folder so I can see the emails of that folder.
Can u help me determine what is causing this? Just 3 days ago, it was fine.
Thank you

Get item value of hidden item in java script on standard report

I've a report with following query:
select "ROWID",
"GTEMPDETAILID",
"GTEMPID",
"NORMTEXT",
"ITEMTYP",
"ITEM",
"BEMERKUNG"
from "#OWNER#"."ALAVIS_GTEMPDETAILS"
Item GTEMPDETAILID is hidden (set in column attributes).
I defined an onclick event in the report template to set the value of GTEMPDETAILID into a Page item. This works, if the GTEMPDETAILID is not hidden. But how can I get the value of an hidden item in javascript?

I am guessing this hidden value is not a protected item because youre manipulating the value. How about setting is a textfield but inside the "HTML form element" property, specify style="display:none;" or you can nest <script type="text/javascript">$x_Hide("ID_OF_TEXTFIELD");</script> in the page somewhere...
Question, have you tried using $x_Value('ID_OF_ITEM','VALUE_OF_ITEM') ? this is APEX javascript API
you can also use $x('ID_OF_ITEM') to retrieve DOM object, or $v('ID_OF_ITEM); to retrieve item values.
Let me know if you need additional assistance.

Backing up Desktop items in Time Machine

Time Machine has been ignoring and not backing up my desktop items since last November. Can anyone explain why and how I can get it to back my desktop. Thanks

Are you trying to search for it, or navigating via the Finder? (It's a system file, so won't show up with the default search.)
Open a Finder window. Select your hard drive name (probably +Macintosh HD+ ). There should be several folders at the "top" level, including Applications, Library, System, etc.
You want Library. Inside it is a Preferences folder containing com.apple.TimeMachine.plist

Skype setup UI issues with enlarged desktop item s...

The issue is with the latest automatic update.
With enlarged size of desktop items and fonts (Control Panel->Appearance and Personalization->Display->Change the size of all items) the text in the setup window overlaps with some setup options, effectively making them impossible to see and click. I'm using Windows 8.1 (Russian). Screenshot attached.
Setting desktop item size back to 100% fixes the window.

That's been a known issue for quite some time they have yet to address. Higher than normal DPI settings will cause that issue. The only solution is to set your DPI settings to normal temporarily or disable DPI scaling for the executable.

How to make desktop items stay in same position?

I notice that on reboot and at other times, the icons on my desktop move around. Mostly it's the disk drives - I'd like them to stay in one place on the desktop, in particular the internal disk and a few external drives to be in a vertical column on the right edge of the screen. I found some solutions for OS9 and Tiger (save/restore desktop state). But oddly none are for Panther. Does anyone know a trick in 10.3 to make things stay where I put them?!?
Mike

Click on the Desktop then select Show View Options from the Finder's View menu. Check the box labeled "Snap to Grid". If you prefer Desktop items be arranged alphabetically you can also select Name from the Arrange By drop down menu.
