HD icon not showing up in "test" user account

Hi All,
I recently had problems with my MBP hard drive, which ultimately failed. I have since replaced it with a new 750 GB (7200 RPM) drive.
I decided to create a "test" user account with admin privileges for troubleshooting purposes.
However when I log in to this test account, the Macintosh HD icon is nowhere to be seen. I see the application icons in the dock, but no HD icon.
Just now, when I logged out of this test account, I got a solid blue screen (instead of the login screen) and had to force a shut down using the power button.
I have since deleted that account and created a new one with a different name, but still no HD showing up.
Any ideas on what might be going on?

If you want to see Macintosh HD on the Desktop and you don't see it, that's because you have to turn on this feature. Open the Finder menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > General, and mark "Hard disks".
Another way of seeing it is through Finder's sidebar. Open a Finder window, and Macintosh HD will appear on the Finder sidebar, under "Devices". If you don't see it there, open the Finder menu > Preferences > Sidebar, and mark "Hard disks"

  • Buddy not showing online on one user account

    I have multiple user accounts on one IMac. One buddy shows up as always offline on one account but shows up as online on the other accounts (the buddy is online). I've checked and rechecked the AIM account name and it is correct and identical to the one on the account that is working. Any ideas on what could be the problem?
    Thanks

    Hello Ralph,
    I've really got myself confused and hope you can help.
    iChat has been working flawlessly for me - iMac 20" Duo OS X10.5.2. Have a friend in NY with an AIM account running OS X10.4.11 but though we can see each other, I cannot hear her - she can hear me. However, when I went to my iMac PPC G4 running OS X10.4.11, we can both hear and see each other perfectly.
    I have another friend in Berkeley with an iMac Duo OS X10.5.2 and we can iChat perfectly. But when she tried to chat with our friend in NY running Tiger, same thing - Berkeley can see NY but not hear her. Again, the NY person can hear both of us but we cannot hear her.
    But when I go to my iMac G4 and try to chat with my Berkeley friend running OS X10.5.2, she appears offline. The only way to get her to appear online is to have her change her security setting to allow anyone. As soon as she does this, I can see her come online and we can chat. But, I appear offline to her even when I change my security setting to allow anyone. We could still chat though. We tried using the allow specific people, but that did not work either.
    Now I run back upstairs to my iMac Duo, and sure enough, Berkeley and I can see each other online and chat just fine as usual.
    The problem seems to be with trying to chat with someone running Tiger and the other(s) running Leopard. Perhaps something else? Changed Quicktime to 1.5, but did not fix the problem. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Ralph.

  • Safari main window not showing up in my user account when launched

    Safari main window is not showing up when launched in my user account.
    For some unknown reason, there must be a bug with Space and Safari as when I switch from Space 1 to Space 2 (and vice versa) I can see the Safari main window for less than 1 sec but could not fix it to show up and stay in the foreground in any of the 4 Spaces areas.
    I have tried to desactivate Space or change some settings in Space but could not fix the issue.
    Last but not least, Safari is working well for all other user accounts on my Mac.
    I have updgraded my OS to 10.5.7 and Safari v4 last patch but I have the same issue for 1 month

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Try deleting this file. com.apple.safari.plist
    /Users/YourName/Libary/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart your Mac. See if that helps...

  • Mail not showing up in secondary user account mail app

    After buying a new macbook pro, I migrated my data from my Air to this new machine (after setting up my new system) and the Pro created a new user account to handle this.  The problem is, the migrated user and its data are what I want the primary account to be.  Everything works as normal as though it is, with the annoying exception of my mail app.  The first account set up with this new machine is the only one that receives any of my emails to the mail app.
    A few things to note:
    I have verified that the migrated account (ie. the account I WANT as the primary user account for access to my emails via the mail app) has all the same email user settings as the other user account on the machine (the one I don't use as my primary).
    Also, I have pretty decent knowledge of what I'm doing and am beating my head against the wall trying to figure out the problem.
    Thinking of deleting the user account that was created when I first purchased this macbook Pro, but unsure if that will allow the account I want to use to be able to magically access my new emails coming in.  For now, if I want to read any of my new incoming emails, I have to log off my primary user account and log into the other one I don't use.  VERY annoying.  Any help?  Thanks

  • How can I fix the "This is not a test user account, please create a new account in the sandbox environment" error?

    Hi there everyone,
    Recently I tried to make an in-app purchase, I'm not sure whether the app is relevant or not but it was for Tapped Out, however, after trying to make the purchase I received an error message saying "Sign-In Required, tap continue to sign in to check for downloads [Environment: Sandbox]" so I followed the instructions and was then presented with another error message saying "This is not a test user account, please create a new account in the sandbox environment. [Environment: Sandbox]"
    I have been doing a lot of research online trying to find a solution and so far nothing has worked for me, I have also been passing emails backwards and forwards between an Apple Customer Support colleague and are yet to find a working solution.
    Here are a few pieces of information.
    1. I am running iOS 6.1.3 on a 4th Gen iPod, it's relatively new, I got it for Christmas.
    2. My iPod is not, and never has been Jail Broken.
    3. I do not have a test account and have never tried to make my own apps.
    4. I have tried signing out of my Apple ID, resetting my iPod's settings and signing in again.
    5. I have tried resetting my Apple ID password
    6. I have tried restoring my iPod to factory settings.
    If anyone has another suggestion for something I could try it would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    Yep, I've been reading through other threads on lots of different sites over the last few hours and I can't seem to find a working solution, even though some seem to have worked for other people.
    Most of them hadn't been updated in a while so I made my own post to see if anyone has anything new.

  • SharePoint 2010 List View Web Part not showing for read-only users?

    Hello all,
    I have List View Webparts on my Blank Web Part page, and it's not showing for Read-Only users.
    Is this intended by Microsoft or is it a bug?
    Thank you!

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that the read only user could not see the list view web part.
    Per my knowledge, the issue may be cause that the user do not have the proper permission for the list.
    1. Check whether the user can access the list.
    2. Check whether the user can view all the items instead of partial items in the list.
    3. Check whether there are some fields refer to other lists or terms, especially the lookup field or managed metadata filed.
         If that is the case, make sure the user can access the lookup list.
    Thanks,
    Jason

  • HT201317 The photo stream flower icon is not showing up on my icloud account?! Why?

    The photo stream flower icon is not showing up on my icloud account.  The only icons are Mail, contacts, calendar and iwrok.  What can I do??

    Basically Apple actually took away the Gallery capability we used to have with me.com when they replaced it with Photo Stream. So there is no way to see on the web, nor send a URL to friends to share the pictures like you used to be able to do with Gallery. To do that, you will need to push those photos to an external service such as Snapfish or Flickr or a social media site.

    Try a soft-reset and see if it works after your phone has restarted (it seems ot have fixed the error for a number of people on here) : 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 equivalent of a reboot.
