Files copied as .lnk files to usb and does not show up in Windows

When I copy files from the MBP to a USB disk, instead of copying the files as is, the Mac converts the files into a .LNK file, which then shows up as "shortcuts" rather than the copied file in Windows. Why is this?

same here.. it happened after installing Lion and updating iTunes
My nano does not appear on iTunes or desktop, however it charges.
iPod nano 2nd Gen
Mac OS X Lion 10.7
iTunes 10.4
please don't tell me that Apple added my lovely nano to Black list !!

Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes.

My older model Apple TV won't connect to iTunes and does not show up in my devices list in iTunes. I have two Apple TVs in my house and I can't imagine that this is part of the problem but I mention it just in case. My other Apple TV is brand new and it connects to iTunes just fine. I've tried most of the "fixes" and one says to Force Sync but I can't since Apple TV isn't in my device list. Another "Fix" said to Navigate the Apple TV to Settings --> Downloads --> Check for Downloads, but when I tried that there was no option for "Downloads" under the Settings Heading. I'm at a loss. Please help. Could this be an issue with too many authorized devices? We have three iPads, two iPhones, laptop, desktop, two Apple TVs, and an iPod and most of them are syncing the same music playlists and whatnot... have I run out of rope?

hi, just posting to everyone in general..its not you, or your apple tv, it is itunes.
ok, ive had the exact same issues for weeks now, as with everyone i had done the lastest upgrade and no longer could see/sync my gen 1 appleTV.........so, i removed the upgrade and went back to the prev version, even though it was showing in my prefs under appleTV, it still wouldnt show in the side panel under devices....i gave up.
This week i was determined to get it to work! So i started from scratch, totally removed itunes and started back with version 9 and upgrade each version from there, i had no luck, ic clicked find appleTvs but it wouldnt....however i just d/l version 9.2.0.61 and BINGO!. No sooner has it opened and up popped the side panel devices list, showing my appleTV..all ready to be synced etc. I immediately panicked of course haha..and set it all up and its working perfectly.
...Only catch now is that this older version will not be compatiable with my iphone, which i do keep music on...seems we cant win. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr this will be the same for all the latest apple products.
Apple needs to allow more than one version of itunes per pc OR perhaps they could get their act together and include all of the millions of APPLETV GEN1 owners in there latest upgrading..after all, THEY made the product and THEY do sell the movies/tv shows, perhaps they could stop making all the upgrade all about the music only!......on which i might add why not incluse movies/tv shows in icloud! yet another upgrade that should be included in the APPLETV GERNERATION 1!..yes we do still exist!
at the very least, im happy ive managed to get all my movies etc onto the apple tv, where ill keep them and from now on d/l directly onto my apple tv. I usually d/l to my laptop and then send them to the appletv but while trying to get all this sorted i did a test, i d/l a movie using my appletv hoping it would somehow let itunes "find" it and getting it to show up in my device list, but it didnt work, however it did sync/send the movie to itunes.. so at least i could save a back up copy.
good luck trying, as i said this has been weeks and this is the only solution ive found so far....and going through these forums its obviouse its itunes thats the issue, NOT Our apple tvs.

W520: Unable to boot from USB - device does not show up in boot menu

I have a W520, and I am trying to boot from a USB key. The USB key is bootable, my old T61p boots just fine from it, and so does another computer I tried.
The W520, after pressing F12 on power on, immediately shows the Intel PXE agent and then some blue boot menu, which only shows hard drive and LAN as available boot options.
I have tried all three USB ports but the results are always the same - the USB device does not show up. Is there any trick or BIOS setting to enable boot from USB?
Thanks,
CS

Hello Neil
Thanks for getting back to me
The issue was that the usb drives were disabled in the bios from the Startup menu.
To enable
1. Enter bios
2. Select boot
3. If you do not see the boot device you require use the down cursor key until the "Excluded from boot priority order" becomes visible.
4. Select the device you require (in my case USB HDD)
5. Save and exit.
You can now boot from a usb stick and install the Linux distro of your choice :-)
Cheers

After upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS6, my Find My Friends app no longer links to my Contacts and does not show contact names. It only shows e-mail addresses and does not link up to the corresponding email address in my Contacts. How can I fix this?

I am also having problems with a site I am building. No matter what websafe font I use it displays as New Times Roman in FireFox. The correct fonts show in both IE9 and Chrome.
In addition, text shifts in FireFox. I have to position other text objects farther and farther apart as I go down the page or they start to overlap. Nav buttons and other images also have to be positioned in the wrong place for them to be in the correct place when the page is opened in FireFox. FireFox should display pages correctly by default. I can't expect th average user to have to tweek his/her settings to display my site.
I have been recommending FireFox on my website as the best browser. I might have to change that and abandon FireFox myself.

My hard drive icon is gone from desk top and does not show up in spotlight or finder searches!

Hi there
recently my hard drive icon has disappeared from my Macbook Pro (10.7.4) desk top and does not show up in spotlight or finder searches! I have tried several fixes posted online for earlier operating systems with no luck.
Also, when I connect my external hard drive the icon does not appear on the desl top nor in the finder either, making looking for documents impossible.
Help!!!
Thanks in advance!

In "finder" click "finder" then "preferences" and navigate to the "general" tab.
Select which items you would like to have show on your desktop.

I have a Power Mac G4, it has OS 9. Imam trying to upgrade to OS 10.2.3 (Jaguar). It is going smoothly until I get to the "Select Destination" screen. It stalls there and does not show any disks to choose from.
Any ideas?

Hello Abe,
If it's a Digital Audio or earlier, you need to install a Firmware update first...

Hello Jane Benstock,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities
It sounds like the next best step to take would be to reset the iPod Shuffle.

When printing an AutoCAD-exported PDF file, the paper version has lines that screen does not show

Hello,
We were contacted by our customer, a landscape architectural company that uses our product, M-Color, (http://m-color.com) to plot AutoCAD drawings with required preferences and effects.
However, they provided us with a sample PDF files, that contain examples of scanned drawings, that have some "ghost lines" at the drawings that the screen does not show.
We tracked the issue and it appears to be an issue with Adobe Reader pringing. We tried many versions from 8.0 version onwards to the latest versions available in public, all represent the same issue.
This may be an issue of the original drawing having some line that was not marked ending at some point.
The zip file within the link below has three PDF files, two from the company that brought this issue to our awareness and the one with name "scanstation" is printed by me, and then scanned with markings to explain the issue.
Any ideas what would be the best solution to solve this issue?

Airport extreme usb printer does not show on macbook

I have been trying to set-up a printer on a Airport Extreme through the USB cable. However, the printer does not show under "Printers and Scanners" and the help on-line has not helped at all.

Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations. In addition, the AirPort's USB port does not support the "advanced" printer functions, like scanning, copying or faxing, of multi-function printers.
To see if your printer is compatible, take a look at this iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility link. If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
Also you can try this Apple Tech Support article to see if it will help: Printer troubleshooting for AirPort Base Stations and Time Capsule
Finally, check out this IBM support article to see if your printer is listed as having a Postscript or PCL3 interface. If it does, then it will most likely work with the AirPort's USB port. Printers that use the "HP LIDIL" interface must be connected to a computer directly and will not work.

Artwork Import Corrupts File and Does Not Show in iTunes

I recently loaded some files into iTunes that I received as MP3s. After importing them, I attempted to add artwork. The artwork showed up originally, but everytime I went back to play the song, the artwork would disappear. And, each time I attempted to add the artwork, it caused the song to loop at the beginning. In other words, a 20 second or so snippet would play multiple times before the song would play. This appeared to corrupt the file in that the same thing would occur no matter what file I used. I thenreimported the raw files again, did not add artwork, and they played fine. As soon as I attempted to add the artwork again, the looping problem occurred again. I have used iTunes for a long time, and have never had a problem adding photos to my iTunes or my iPod.

My mobile-me email accout does not receieve any emails and does not show the file system

hi - my mobile me email account does not recieve any emails - plus, the file structur is not available on my mac. I am using iphone and ipad, there at least the file structure is visible. I received the notification, that my icloud storage is not sufficiant, I extend this to 80 GB, should not be an issue anymore. However, does not work - I can however sent emails...many thanks for any help

Just to confirm ... by Verizon Web Portal, you mean the Verizon branded Yahoo! web portal page? Correct?    Just want to be sure you're looking in the right place.
If you go into your account settings on Verizon, does it say there that you are the "Yahoo!" experience (probably also has an option listed to allow you to change to AOL as well).
If it says Yahoo! and you are looking on the Yahoo! web portal inbox, then it sounds like your mapping over to the Yahoo! side is not setup properly within the Verizon cloud.   That would take a call to tech support to fix.
Just for giggles, have you tried changing your mailbox password (and not recofniguring any mail clients, etc.).   Just to make sure something isn't quickly grabbing the mail and downloading it before you can see it via the web portal.   Might want to do that just as an experiment.
Another think to try is creating a sub-account for email and see if mail gets delivered to the address.

Every time I launch Firefox 4 it opens 3 or 4 blank windows, no longer opens the tabs from the previous session and does not show my bookmarks sidebar.

I have to manually close the extra windows and restore the tabs from the previous session, and reopen the sidebar. In disgust I uninstalled Firefox 4 and reinstalled 3.6. Everything works fine in 3.6. Looks to me like Firefox 4 has many major bugs and is not yet ready for prime time. I'll stay with 3.6 for now.
