Devices/Printers tile does not appear, what am I missing??

This is a Windows Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Host environment.
Devices and Printers tile created and placed underneath 'Desktop'
Configured a custom Start menu using the XML file method and setting its location in Group Policy, I can see 'Devices and Printers' in the XML file.
Set polcies to allow access to Control Panel and to show ONLY Devices and Printers.
Did gpupdate /force on the DC and on the RDS host wherein I'm testing, logged in as a test user.
The D and P tile is still not showing on Start screen nor does it show in Apps list...
D and P can be found with Search but that is clunky...
What am I missing to make this tile visible to users?? (I even tried re-creating the test user)
Thank you, Tom

Hi Tom,
I did a test and it seems that we can't deploy the tile of Devices and Printers via group policy setting
Start Screen Layout. The reason behind this may be due to the fact that the AppID of the Devices and Printers in the exported start layout file is not a set one. We can compare the AppIDs of the Devices and Printers after exporting
the screen layout files with two different user accounts.
Regarding this point, the following thread can also be referred to for more information.

My AppleTv keeps dimming as if it is in energy saver mode. My DVD player and TV do not do this. How do I disable the energy saver feature on AppleTv? BTW this is my second AppleTV device so it does not appear to be a product defect.

My AppleTV keeps dimming as if it is in energy saving mode. My TV and DVD/Netflix player do not do this. How do I disable the energy saver feature in AppleTV? BTW: This is my second AppleTV device so it does not appear to be a product defect.

I keep seeing versions of this same question, and it's always the same answer: it's the TV. Well, it happens to me as well. But it only happens when viewing programming via Apple TV. My cable is totally fine: no dimming. Only with Apple TV. So what's the answer?

My computer The File "itunes library.til" does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has attempted to recover your itunes library and renamed it to "iTunes Library (Damaged itl)"

My computer crashed when I was using Itunes. I got everything up and running and got this message "The File “itunes library.til” does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has attempted to recover your itunes library and renamed it to “iTunes Library (Damaged itl)” Everything loads up put in takes 10 min. then my music playlists are deleted everytime I turn Itunes on. What can I do to solve this problem? Thanks.

Hi shyanne23,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If your iTunes library file has become damaged in some way, you may want to try recreating your iTunes library and playlists by following this article:

Device Synch Menus does not appear in iTunes 11 on Windows 8 PC

My 3rd generation iPod Nano connected to Windows-8 PC and iTunes 11 - Device "Summary" menu does not appear. If you select the <File> menu in iTunes there is an option to "Synch Nano". My iTunes is set to manually manage music on the Nano - because the "Summary" menu does not appear in iTunes it is impossible to select albums to Synch with the Nano.
On the upper right bar there is an eject button for the iPod Nano. This does in fact eject the Nano device and re-appears in iTunes if you disconnect the device then reconnect the iPod Nano.
No other device menus are present in iTunes 11 under Windows-8. The iPod Nano music library also does not appear.
Only the PC based iTunes music library is visible.
Itunes software versions are both current on the Nano and Windows-8 PC.
The computer was deauthorized and then authorized in iTunes.
The Synch History was reset in iTunes Preferences - this did not re-establish the Nano as a device to synch with iTunes. (Typically fixes similar problems)
Resetting nano device by holding Menu after switching unit on/off (Apple Logo Appears then Reboots Nano) makes no difference.
Nano shows as a drive in Windows-8 in "My Computer" and the operating system recognizes the device connection.
No problem ejecting and reconnecting the Nano in Itunes but traditional device menus are gone with the exception of the eject button.
Tested the same iTunes Nano on two other computers with iTunes 11 installed on Windows-7 and Windows XP - works fine. This issue only occurs on Windows-8 computers.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I just updated iTunes today and this seems to be the cause
If you're already at version 11.1.5.5, try the procedure in Cerbu's post:
Re: sync problem
... or try section 5 from the following document:
TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows.

HT1848 I downloaded a book on itunes on one computer and it is not listed on a seconded computer. Same account. I have tried updating purchases and transferring recent purchases, transferring purchases from another devices. Still does not appear.

I purchased a book on one macbook in my itunes account. I tried to open it on another account while logging into itunes account. The book does not appear.
I have tried updating purchases, the bottom at the bottom-update purchases from another device. Still does not appear.

If it's an audiobook then you will need to copy it over from the first computer to the second computer - audiobooks are currently one-time only downloads, so they won't appear under the Purchased link for re-downloading. If you copied it onto a device from the first computer then you should be able to copy it off that device to the second computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. If it's not on a device and both computers are on the same wifi network then you should be able to copy it over via home sharing (there are instructions on this page), or you can copy it to, for example, a flash drive (you can find it's location on the first computer by control-clicking it in your iTunes library and selecting 'Show In Finder') and then add it to the second computer's iTunes (File > Add To Library).
If it's an ibook then you should be able to re-download it from the store : re-downloading.

I installed new hard drive and I am trying to restore from time machine external back up. I restarted the computer and held the Command key and the R and the restore utility does not appear. what can I do

Command + R keys are for Macbooks running Lion and Mountian Lion only. ( i could be wrong on this)
you have a couple of options:
Do a clean install of Snow Leopard via Install DVD.
Clone your old hard drive to your new hard drive via Carbon Copy Cloner
Or click on the link below to give you a better idea.
Hope you get it sorted out.

IPod touch 5th gen will not connect to iTunes, also apple mobile device usb driver does not appear in device manager. PLEASE HELP.

I recently purchased my iPod touch with no issues. After updating to iOS 8.1.1 I found that my iPod would no longer appear in the latest version of iTunes and when I searched for Apple Mobile Device usb driver in the device manager, it was nowhere to be found. I've already uninstalled and re-installed ALL components of iTunes and read every single help article. I've tried everything. What went wrong?

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

When i open a new tab the search box does not appear - what do i need to do?

i have been using firefox for a while and have been able to access the tabs to search for more info. Now when I opena new tab window it is a blank screen, with no facilty to do a search. what do i need to do?

OK friends. I was tired of running Norton antivirus and it slowing up my PC, so I installed McAfee and....guess what? Problem solved!! No more problems with the back button on new tabs. I'm glad it's fixed, but have no idea why and what the problem was other than something in Norton. Instant fix.

HT1918 The 'None' option from Payment Type does not appear, what's wrong?

I can't remove my credit card from iTunes.

You may have an outstanding balance, or be in a region that doesn't support this feature.

Flashplayer does not play, what am i missing

web video sites prompt to download most upgrade to flash player. uninstalled and reinstalled 10.1.53.69. i still get prompted to download most recent version.
using firefox 3.6.11, windows vista home premium Service pack 2, 34 bit system, amd 64 dual core processor 6000+ @ 3.0 ghz. logged in as administrator. C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash contains:
flashplayer.xpt
flashutil10k_plugin
install
npswf32.dll
flashinstall

That was the reason that the newest version could not be installed. (But the installer should have given you a message.)

Canvio External Hard Drive does not appear in MY COMPUTER

Sorry if the subject is in wrong section of the forum.
I bought an External Hard Drive to use with my Windows 7 laptop. When connecting, sounds like a new device is connected, also appears listed in DEVICES & PRINTERS, but does not appear in MY COMPUTER, becoming impossible to access it anyhow.
Procedures about how to format or change device letter (in DISK MANAGEMENT), although the device has been also shown there, haven't work.
"Drivers" are listed as updated.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Jerry, thanks for trying to help.
I download the KillDisk as your adviced.
The Hardware appears there like:
Hard Disk 2 (82h) TOSHIBA External USB 3.0 - [DEVICE IS NOT READY]
Local Disk (2 - [DRIVE IS NOT READY]
Available actions for each are: Mark / Unmark / Refresh.
Any possibility of it is broken, or something?

When i plug my iphone in to my desktop computer, the iphone icon does NOT appear.....how do i get it to appear so i can synch my stuff?

When I plug my iphone 5s into my desktop computer, the iphone icon which you click on to to wnable you to synch your device with itunes does not appear. Its like being signed into itunes without a device connected.
If you look in the top left hand corner, this is where the icon should appear apparently, but as you can see, on my account it just isnt appearing! my usb cable is new from an Apple store and isnt faulty. The desktop computer is also new.

What happens if you go to iTunes > File > Devices, do you get the option to Sync iPhone?
You could try a reinstall of iTunes. OS X Yosemite: Reinstall apps that came with your Mac

Sync does not appear to sync from mobile- desktop only from desktop- mobile

Does Firefox sync only work from desktop to your mobile (android) device?
If I save a bookmark on my android device my bookmark does not appear to show up on my desktop.
If I save a bookmark on my desktop it will sync to my android device, is syncing one direction only?

Hi,
Try Resetting the Sync History from the iSync applications preference window as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23030
