Device missing from sidebar

I inserted my thumbdrive into my MacBook Pro and it showed up. However, I went to rename the device and accidently chose "Remove from sidebar". Now when I plug it in, the thumbdrive doesn't even show up. How can I get it to show up again?

In Finder's menubar, Finder > Preferences > Sidebar tab > check external disks

ITunes 11 Devices (entire category) missing from sidebar

I found Sidebar, but it does not display "Devices" category. How do I get it? Am now on iTunes 11.0.2.26, Windows Vista. I can't find my iphone or ipad anywhere on iTunes

update / addl info: I connected my iphone to computer (usb cable) and now iTunes dusplays Devices category, and below that my iPhone (but still not other devices - ipad and ipod mini and old iphone). I connected my ipad to Power and turned it on just "to see" if any effect - NONE, still not displayed under Devices.

Why are my Airplay devices missing from the desktop Airplay menu bar?

From my desktop, all devices are visible in iTunes and when I option-click volume. All devices are visible from my IOS devcies. But most devices are missing under the Airplay menu at top of my desktop. The only devices visible are Apple TV. Thus, I cannot select multiple Airplay devices to play at once from my desktop, but am confined to selecting a single device through the option-click volume menu.
Thanks all.

Play audio from my iMac to multiple airplay devices (speakers). I can do so through iTunes, but not outside of iTunes. For example, I cannot stream audio to multiple devices from a browser. Perhaps I am looking at the wrong menu. Thanks for inquiring.
This thread (https://discussions.apple.com/message/21771160#21771160) seems to suggest in can only be done through iTunes.

Web Gallery missing from Sidebar

For some reason, my Web Gallery icon which lists all my published web galleries has disappeared from my iPhoto sidebar. How do I get it back? I can see my Library, Recent, Subscriptions and Albums sidebar items but no Web Gallery. Please help and let me know how to bring it back to my Sidebar listing alll my published Web Gallleries.

Same issue here - mine happened right after I did the October iLife update
In reply to CCRiders post - it's not the button in the bottom toolbar that's missing it's the actual previously posted gallery's that don't show up anymore in the SideBar, even though they're still posted.
The Galleries are still in the Web/Sites folder on the iDisk. They have a specific # which is why you can repost it with the same name and it doesn't overwrite it, instead it adds another one.
Weird 'eh!

Devices Missing from Home Hub 2 List

I have seen many entries on various forums about people connecting device and not seeing them on the network list.
I had this problem and went through all the suggestions and finally did a reset to factory defaults. This cured the problem temporarily but it returned the following day.
After lots of analysis it seems that the HH2 can only display 10 devices at any one time, so when I added the 11th device to my network – it does not seem to matter weather its wireless or not, it is not in the list – delete an existing entry and refresh and the new device appears.
Is this normal behaviour or is my HH2 faulty?

From what you are saying this is normal for these things.
Its much the same on the home hub 1. Sometimes devices do not show as connected, even though they exist in the main device list. I get the impression that the web display only updates if the device has been active for a while.
There is nothing in the firmware to trigger anything, when a device status changes.
If I log into the telnet interface on the HH1, and use the command "hostmgr list", the device is shown on the list.
Telnet is not available on the HH2.
I would not rely too much on the device list. If you really want to see if a device is present, then simply "ping" it.
I actually use static addresses on my network, as it makes it easier to detect if a device is active.

Bookmarks missing from sidebar

After a recent upgrade to v. 9.0.1, the bookmarks that normally appear in my sidebar disappeared. They haven't disappeared totally as I can access them from the Bookmarks tab and they continue to reside on the Xmarks server. I just can't see them when I launch the Bookmarks sidebar. Xmarks Tech Support suggest it's a Firefox problem. Can you help?

HP Pavilion dv3 - LAN device missing from device manager

This problem started between noon and 3:00 PM on Friday 2/18.

My system is a HP Envy 14 - 1240ep. I'm using BIOS F.23, I tried F.26, but the BIOS update didn't solve the problem.
I tried Disabling the BIOS option for LAN sleep mode, but that disn't solve it neither.
I have a clean install of Win7 Pro 64-bits, and tried to install the original SwSetup NIC dirvers (however, since I've got the error for unplugged cable, I'm not sure if everything went ok).
My NIC is in "comma" for 2 weeks now. During the past 2-3 months it would work sometimes after the cable was plugged in for 3-4 hours. In spite of turning on it would go off after any stand-by, restart or shutdown.
I'm starting to get empty of ideas to crack this problem.
Any suggestion?

DEVICES missing from new desktop release

Ever since being forced to upgrade to the new desktop release (1.0.1.1060) my DEVICES has disappeared from my side menu.I have been looking all over the place for some kind of Setting that I need to change but it looks like there's nothing that is causing it.
WHERE ARE THE DEVICES ?!?!
THIS IS AN UPGRADE ?!?!?

One of the cardinal sins of new software releases is to come out with a version with LESS features than the current one. If they're working on an extensive rebuild which requires a complete rewrite of the current core code then the first released version should have at least the equivalent amount of features. That's just simple logic. If they're not regretting it now then they will when Apple comes out with their streaming service in June. Spotify just managed to get into the black for the first time in the past year, so I'm predicting they go under within 2-3yrs after Apple enters the market.
and you just know that Apple will use its pull to do things such as exclusive releases which will really kill Spotify. If Apple is able to exclusively release a U2 album then you know they've got the ability (and $$$) to release anybody. I wouldn't be surprised if they had The Beatles available. That alone would be a huge blow to Spotify.

Devices MIssing from Finder

When I open Finder, under devices I see my "Macintosh HD" and "iDisk", however, the icon with a small computer that says "Administrator's MacBook" is missing. Any ideas on how to get it back?

MacBook Device Missing from Find iPhone

My MacBook Pro which I have been using since 2009 was stolen a few weeks back and came online (saw it sign in on Teamviewer on my iPad). I used the Find iPhone app to remotely lock my MacBook Pro and put a message on it stating that the device had been stolen with my contact particulars on the screen.
My insurance company requires details of the MacBook Pro and now if I sign into the Find iPhone app on iCloud, my MacBook Pro no longer is listed as one of my devices.
How is this possible? Where would I get the serial number of my MacBook Pro?

Hi ..

The Mac may be turned off which would explain why it's not available under Devices.

Local computer missing from Devices group in Finder sidebar

On one of my Mavericks computers, the computer is missing from the Devices group in the Finder sidebar. Is there any way I can get it back?
Other attached devices, such as Remote Disc and a mounted disk image, do appear in the Devices group. The Computer Name as set in Sharing preferences is "BillCheesemanMBP", and that name should appear alongside a tiny icon of the computer in the Devices group. On both of my other Mavericks computers, the computer name and icon do appear in the Devices group along with other attached devices, as expected.
Apart from this, everything appears to be in order. For example, when I open the computer's window by choosing Go > Computer in the Finder, the window's title is "BillCheesemanMBP" and all of the mounted volumes appear in the window as expected, including the startup disk. And the computer appears correctly in the Shared group in the Finder sidebar of all other computers on the same network.
Additional details that might be relevant: This is a brand new MacBook Pro Retina 15-inch Late 2013. I restored it from the Time Machine backup for an older MacBook Pro that was also running Mavericks, and for no good reason I also reinstalled Mavericks on the new computer via the App Store. The old computer's Computer Name in Sharing preferences was the same as the new computer's, although the old computer now has "-2" added to the name because it was last logged onto the network while the new computer was already on the network. The old computer does appear in its Devices group with the name "BillCheesemanMBP (2), and it appears in the Shared group with the same name "BillCheesemanMBP (2) on all other computers on the network, as expected. When I take the old computer off the network, nothing changes. (To my surprise, the old computer even remains in the Shared group on all other computers on the network, even though I have confirmed in Network preferences on the old computer that it now has no network connection. Attempting to log on to the old computer from one of the other computers on the network results in "Connection Failed".)

Oh dear. There it is, right in the Sidebar pane of Finder Preferences. All I have to do is select the "BillCheesemanMBP" checkbox under Devices. Sorry for wasting the bandwidth.

Airplay Icon missing from iTunes 11.0.2.26 (PC) and Genius Sidebar

After upgrading to iTunes 11.0.2.26 my Airplay icon is missing. I've tried the simple fix that reportedly works where you switch to mini player, see the Airplay icon and then it stays when you switch to normal mode.
Firstly the icon does appear but it is grayed out and only pops up a volume control. It does not detect, display, or allow you to select output devices, Second, it is still missing from the normal size window.
This has been tried with and without restarting iTunes as well as reinstalling iTunes. I'd go for a downgrade but then it fails to work with the new iPads at all. I discovered that with my first iPad mini where it required an iTunes upgrade.
Genious Sidebar
I figured Id just downgrade to 10.6.3 to get the genius sidebar back afterwards. WRONG, it will not synch or do anything without the newer versions of the iTunes software. Genius sidebar was the best thing about the software and they kept taking it away, brought it back for a few versions, then took it away again. It was and remains my favorite way to shop for new music. The remaining so called genius functions are just plain lame.
Airplay Icon Missing from Itunes on PC
I can hit my Airplay devices such as Apple TV and Zeppelin Air with iPads, iPods, and iPhones. Just not from the PC Console where is previously enjoyed it the most. So I know the devices are fine. They are all on the same physical wired and wireless network. Even when I put the Zeppelin on the wired LAN there is no Airplay icon in iTunes on the PC.

My itunes will not update. I get a message that is saying that MSVCR80.II Is missing from your computer, Try reinstalling to fix this problem. So when i tried to reinstall, it says itunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall error 7 (windows err 126) Then when i tried to reinstall i get this....Service applemovile device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient priveledges to start service...the I see abort, retry and ignore....when I hit retry, it sill fails and i get the same message again. How do I fix it? Will I lose all my music if I delete it all and reinstall itunes? I haven't tried that yet.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

"Enable Access for Assistive Devices" is missing from Yosemite and my QuicKeys program depends on this to work. Help!

This is my second day trying to get my QuicKeys application to work in Yosemite, but "Enable Access for Assistive Devices," which QuicKeys needs to work, is missing from Yosemite. I have gone through the entire System Preferences panel (Security and Privacy, Accessibility, Keyboard, etc.) without success - it's just not there. I have checked this app in the Privacy pane and dragged
"QuicKeysUserEventHelper" out of the QuicKeys Resources folder into the Applications folder so it could "appear" in the Privacy pane, and then checked it there. Is there any way to enable access for assistive devices - a Terminal command, perhaps?
QuicKeys is my most used program, which I have had since its inception at least 10 years ago! Help!

Thank you for your reply! I did everything that Startly recommended (actually, gb2), and when I dragged the QuicKeys Helper into the Privacy box. I didn't see it, but after I quit and restarted QuicKeys, it worked! However,I had first dragged the QuicKeys app to the trash, emptied it, then restarted. Next, I redownloaded QuicKeys from Startly and THEN I went to gb2's directions. All together, my QuicKeys now works on my MacBook Air. BUT NOW, I keep getting the warning that says that this version and activation code are already in use by another user! I am also getting those warnings on my Mac Pro - which had the same problem yesterday (QuicKeys not working), until I heard back from a Technical Advisor from Startly, who told me about trashing the app and redownloading from their site. Last night, that version of QuicKeys worked WITHOUT my having to drag the QuicKeys Helper app into the Privacy pane. Perhaps it is there, but invisible - the helper app is not visible on either of my computers' Privacy panes.
OK, NOW WHAT DO I DO? Every 20 seconds or so, I'm getting those annoying warning signs (on BOTH computers) and requests to put in my activation key, and then told that it is being used by another user!!!
AM I EVER GOING TO BE ABLE TO USE MY 2 LICENSES FOR MY 2 QUICKEYS PROGRAMS???
