  • Finder does not appear in All Desktops

    Suppose that you have set up multiple Desktops from Mission Control.
    From the Dock, I choose Finder > Options > (Assign To) All Desktops. This is so that varius open windows on the Desktops will appear on All Desktops. However, this setting does not survive a restart. That is, after a restart, an open window on one Desktop will not appear on another Desktop.
    I have tried to delete the file ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. But, the All Desktops setting still does not survive a restart.
    How can I overcome this issue?

  • Trying to use a new, larger external hard drive for my Time Machine backup.  However, every time I start the backup, it gets started then fails.  And, I can't delete the few files that did save on the external.  Sort of a catch 22.  Any ideas?

    Is it a USB hard drive?  USB hard drives have the problem of not giving full speed if they are hooked up on the same bus as keyboards and mice.  Double check your profiler to make sure that is not a problem.  If it is Firewire, make sure there aren't other firewire devices in use at the same time.  I recommend not only keeping a Time Machine backup, but also a clone, and if you do use Time Machine, to make sure the Time Machine drive or partition is at least twice the size of the original drive.

  • InDesign CS 5.5 - Why am I getting an error message saying my files ( that I created in 5.5 ) can not be opened because they are created in CS6? Says I have to open in 6 and back save to 4.

    Ask in the ID forum and provide at least some useful info like system specs, what's contained in the files, where they are stored...

  • I can't get my password manager working. It remembers passwords for websites but when I enter in a new password (because this had to be changed) or when I have a new username + PW that I wish to save, the password manager does not appear.

    If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPhone by tapping on the id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad.
    If you created a new account then you can log out of the old account and in with the new one as above, but any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can re-download its content and download updates to its apps.

  • After installing FF 6.02 on Windows 7, the icon does not appear on the desktop and the program does not appear in the All Programs menu

    I just received a new laptop running windows 7 home premium and wanted to install Firefox on it. I tried to install the most recent version. When i installed 6.0.2, the icon did not appear on my desktop (it was a hidden file in my desktop folder) and the program group does not appear in the start menu's All Programs list. The program *does* run though, at least it did a few times. This happened whether i installed as administrator or not. Installing firefox 3.6.22, though, DID create the program group and desktop icon, and upgrading from there removed them again. installing other programs (e.g. vlc, trillian, etc.) did not cause this behavior. I also tried this both with and without McAfee's realtime protection running.

    Some people have found that an app (usually iBooks for some reason) hasn't appeared on a homescreen until after the iPad has been reset and has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    Also depending on what the app is have you got an age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding it ?

  • Emails that I send from my iMac do not appear in the icloud sent box.

    Emails that I send from my iMac do not appear in the icloud sent box.  Is it possible to have the sent folders in synch between my imac and the icloud?  Thanks for any help.

    You can check the form history settings.
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > History: "Remember search and form history"
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Form+autocomplete
    The website may be using autocomplete=off in that field to prevent Firefox from saving and filling that data.
    You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet to make Firefox save form data.

  • I ordered a ringtone that came as a song and did not appear in a position to be added.  It did not show up but came through as a song and asking me to add it to a playlist.  This is not what I wanted to do and I promptly follow the prompt to "Buy"

    I ordered a ringtone that came as a song and did not appear in a position status to be added.  It did not show up but came purchased as a song and now asking me to add it to a playlist.  This is not what I wanted to do and I promptly follow the prompt to "Buy more options" to get what I thought was a ringtone.  Please help!

    The ONLY place to buy a ready made ringtones is from the iphone itself from the itunes app, then "More">"Ringtones"
    If you bought from your computer, then you need to create the ringtone.  You can create a ringtones from just about any song/sound file for free.
    Google will find several ways to do this.

    Ah the devil is in the details
    Adding the shift key to the command places the screen shot in the clipboard as Hiroto pointed out.
    To get the file on the Desktop just remove the shift key.

  • "This disk does not appear on the desktop"

    I have 3 Firewire drives on my iMac. On occasion, instead of the normal orange Firewire disk drive icon, I get a generic icon that looks like a small window with a blue bar at the top. If I run Disk Warrior, it says "This disk does not appear on the desktop". Worse, sometimes the system looses one or more drives completely and has to be restarted. All of the external drives check out good with Disk Warrior. All drives power-down the spindle when inactive for some period of time. Any idea what might be going on?
