Desktop no longer on devices list please help....

I wanted to move a copy of my desktop to the dock for faster access, but when i did that the desktop icon did not appear on the dock and is no longer in the devices list.... is there anyway i can get the desktop icon back in the devices list... i tried dragging but i got a no sign...

Choose Preferences from the Finder menu, click on Sidebar, and put a check mark in the Desktop box. Next, click on the item in the sidebar with the house icon and drag the Desktop folder from it to the Dock.

  • EA4500 Router Device not showing up in device list - Please Help

    Hi all
    I have an EA4500 and am using Cisco Connect Cloud software. Its working mostly fine except that I have one device on the network that will not show up in the device list. This is not an issue in itself and normally I would ignore (although it used to show up when I forst got the router) however.......
    The device is a WDTVLive media unit and required access to windows shares on a media server. Now the WDTVLive device is server an ip address by the router and is available from everywhere on my network but every couple of days it loses the capacity to search windows shares.
    I know what you are thinking and I initially thought the same, this is an issue with the WDTVLive box. However one day I spent a few hours trying to resolve (Am an IT Consultant and know a little about networks) and found that I could not fix the issue. I then rebooted the router and it started working. I have since confirmed that every time it breaks I have to reboot the router.
    So I kind of think the two issues are linked.
    Sorry for the ramble. Can anyone help please.
    Thanks in advance
    Alan

    Further to this issue which I ignored as it did not really cause any issues, I recently clicked a samsung tv device which thinks that is three different devices. It has three lan addresses listed. One of the addresses listed is the original device that will not show up so I suspect that this is why it does not show up.
    It seems that I have a conflict but I can find nothing anywhere to allow me to resolve.
    I cannot even delete the Samsung TV device as its x button is not editable.
    Should I just try removing the cloud connect software. I must admit that I am starting to think that I made a bad decision with this router.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

  • Hi. Im using iTunes Match, but my iPhone storage is full of music. I haven't downloaded any songs into the device. Please help.

    Hi. Im using iTunes Match, but my iPhone storage is full of music. I haven't downloaded any songs into the device. Please help.

    Go to Settings > General > Usage and tap Music (you may need to scroll down in the list). Swipe across "all music" and tap DELETE.
    When streaming music from the cloud the Music app caches a temporary copy for later playback.

  • Fire Wire: MBP OS X.4.11 Can't see external devices. PLEASE HELP!

    Fire Wire: MBP OS X.4.11 Can't see external devices. PLEASE HELP!
    My MBP will not "see" my new MB or my back-up drive—both connected via a firewire 400 (6 pin) cable. Both running Tiger X.4.11
    I have used this cable to connect my MBP and a TiBook in the past as well as to back-up onto the LaCie e-drive.
    I have run "disk repair" and "permissions" on both machines.
    BTW—"permissions" are regularly out of wack on the MBP. But, the disk is OK according to Disk Utilities.
    I also cannot put the machine to sleep after logging out. Has a hard time shutting down as well. Sometimes I need to force a re-boot.
    Can't run Disk Doctor because I don't have a bootable disk yet. It's coming via snail mail.
    The new MB "sees" the e-drive connected with the same cable.
    I can't transfer my files to the new MB nor can I back up.
    Is it time for a "clean install"? Makes me nervous that I cannot backup before trying anything drastic.
    Can someone please help me?
    Thanks in advance.

    Put the more recalcitrant computer into Target Drive mode by starting it with the T key down until you see the yellow on blue screen. Then connect it to the other machine by firewire cable while both are already awake.
    I hope that you did not do any upgrades while you had external drives connected... that is an automatic problem. Always disconnect from externals and accessories before doing any upgrades. Always back up before doing any upgrades.
    Firewire networking is not the same as using a computer in Target Disc mode. In Target disc mode, you are using the internal drive of the Td computer as an external. That should allow you to run disk utility. Do use the proper disc utility version for the OSX version that is on problem drive. ie don't use the Leopard disc utility for the Tiger disc or vice versa.

  • Hello , I want to ask some question about ipads \  How powerful is the iPad?  How useful is it for reading books, newspaper or magazines or for surfing the web? Can you identify any shortcomings of the device?   please help me :(

    Hello ,
    I want to ask some question about ipads \
    How powerful is the iPad? 
    How useful is it for reading books, newspaper or magazines or for surfing the web?
    Can you identify any shortcomings of the device?  
    please help me

    it's less powerful than your average computer. THink of it like a netbook but with a better processor.
    It'll do fine for surfing (although if you browse a lot of flash based sites you will need to get a third party browser since safari doesn't accommodate it)
    You may do OK on reading books, papers or magazines, especially if they have apps, but the ipad's screen is backlit, so it doesn't work well outdoors and you may need to fiddle with the brightness so that you don't get eye strain (it's just like doing too much reading from a computer screen)
    I would say the biggest short comings are data transfer. Apple's preferred work flow is that everything is done via iTunes or the internet....well people dont' always have 100% reliable always on internet access so you can find yourself in a situation where you can't get things on/off the iPad.
    By and large, it's a good device for day to day stuff, but is not a computer replacement.

    Hello.
    I am having much difficulty using any software drum program. I am trying to use EZ Drummer and the drum programs in Logic, with limited success. I was using them, and they were working, but this is no longer the case. Please help me navigate my way through these issues, if possible.
    Thanks.

    Aha! I have sorted it.
    For those with similar problems, the solution is this:
    Macintosh HD > Library > Audio > MIDI Drivers
    Then delete DigiDioMidiDriver.plugin

    That would tend to indicate a permissions issues on the computer.
    Running an outdated version of iTunes is of absolutely no benefit.
    All iDevices work with the current version of iTunes.

    You need to transfer the purchased content from the iPad to the iTunes library on the laptop. Read the post from virtualgeo on how to accomplish what you want to do.

    If you are running iOS 5 and backing up to iCloud, there is really no need to go through all of that - IMO - but if you want to, it is possible to do so.
    If you decide to do this, You will now have iTunes telling you that the iPad has been synced to another iTunes library each time that you sync with the other computer.

  • When i sync my phone/ipad it just continues to update so in the end (hours later) i have to eject manually, then turn my device off/on to get things back to normal, but it doesnt update my devices properly, please help team.

    You don't have much choice, do you? You're either going to have to restore the software or take it to the Genius Bar to see about getting that button fixed.

  • Can see and recognize my wireless network and Internet is working, but I can't connect with ANY computers/iPad/iPod/air TV, etc. I have reset the time machine several times, and can see the network, but cannot access it with any device. PLEASE HELP!

    I have Comcast Internet and have it connected to a Motorla Surfboard modem and have that running directly to a 2TB Time Capsule. The TC is serving as our time machine as well as our wireless router. We lost power in a storm a week ago and can no longer connect to my wireless network I can see the network and sign into it via password, but cannot connect with any device(iMac, MacBook, iPhones, iPod touches, air tv, etc.). ALL of these devices worked gat before the power went out. I reset both modem and TC and still can't connect. I can connect to the Internet through Ethernet cord directly from the modems dn have confirmation(per Comcast service) that the Internet is working and we have a good connection.
    The TC is less than six months old so I'm not sure what is wrong. I have reset settings with TC to no avail. I have reset the TC SEVERAL times and have no idea what could be wrong and what is prohibiting me from connecting. Anyone that has ANY suggestions or ideas as to how to fix this, PLEASE HELP!!!  I'm going crazy using iPad 3G and not being able to connect to our wifi. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND I LOOK FORWARD TO GETTING BACK TO THE 21ST CENTURY! 

    Anyone have any ideas or information to help with this?  Any help and consideration is MUCH appreciated.

  • Backed up itunes to a hard drive, now we cant play any of our music unless harddrive plugged in. And we cant drag any music onto devices! Please help, thanks.

    Hi there
    Our desktop computer was painfully slow so backed up everything to hard drive (as 1 file) and did factory restore to computer. We have managed to get our photos and documents back to our pc but have struggled with itunes. We now have all our music there in our library but can not play any of it unless the hard drive is plugged in (says cannot locate the file when not plugged in). I manually consolidated files for one album which now means it will play without hard drive but I can't drag that to our iphones & ipods. Please help! Thanks.

    *Also...is there any way I can filter out all the tracks with the ! so I can delete the unplaying copies as they're taking up room in my iTunes? I know how to find duplicates, but then I have to go and delete each one individually...*
    *Thank you!*
