HD Icon

A friend with an iMac does not see his HD icon in the lert column when he opens Finder. The root is in place and as expected , but no HD icon shows. The icon is in place at the upper right of his desktop. How can he get the icon back in the Finder?

I have the same problem on a PowerMac G5 2x2 that is been in use about 2 years now.
First the HD icon was greyed out and could not be selected, then it disapeared about 15 minutes later.
Yes I have checked finder preferences over and over. My 2nd hard drive (5 partitions) will mount to the desktop and/or the Finder Sidebar, but not my start-up drive!!!
I have run utilities, and more utilities, and restarted and shut-down and waited and started and = still no HD icon. (I have also started from a back up HD and TechTool eDisk to do this). I ran Disk Utility. I ran Onyx. I ran MacJanitor. No problems were found. I unmounted in Disk Utility and remounted the start-up HD. No change = still missing icon.
Everything seems to operate normally when running from the main start-up HD and I can get to the start-up HD folders (Library, etc) by going to my Home->Users->Macintosh_HD (going up in the finder). Passed that I am at the Apple Computer and the start-up HD does not show, just the 2nd Hard Drive partitions.
Please advise!

  • PSE icons instead of the photo. I need to view photos at a glance. Please help me????

    Please help, this is driving me crazy.  I have downloaded my free PSE #9, it came with my Leica Camera.  I cannot view at a glance any of my photos.  There is only an icon that reads, PSE.  To view any of my photos, I must click select and then preview.  This gets old, and I am doing 4 times the work. I am having to use the dates to guess where my photos might be.  I hate this!  My old Photo Shop #5 didn't do this.  When you went to my pictures, you could see every photo.
    I have tried the right click and open as any program.  What ever program I choose, that is the icon that appears.  No photo. Still no good.
    Please help.
    Thanking anyone in advance,
    Leica

    Hi,
    Are you using Windows Explorer to view the files?
    If so, load Explorer, go to the Tools menu and select Folder Options.
    Click on the View tab and make sure the first option (Always show icons, never thumbnails) is not checked.
    Click on OK and see if that is any better.

  • Unable to capture the adf table column sort icons using open script tool

    Hi All,
    I am new to OATS and I am trying to create script for testing ADF application using open script tool. I face issues in recording two events.
    1. I am unable to record the event of clicking adf table column sort icons that exist on the column header. I tried to use the capture tool, but that couldn't help me.
    2. The second issue is I am unable to capture the panel header text. The component can be identified but I was not able to identify the supporting attribute for the header text.

    Hey sunnyday7!
    Here is an article that can help you address this issue:
    OS X: How to quit an unresponsive application using Force Quit

    Additional Information
    OS X automatically relaunches the Finder when it is quit. If the Finder is unresponsive, use Force Quit to relaunch it. Select Finder in the Force Quit Window or Dock, then click Relaunch.

  • I am trying to open Firefox. I have changed from Beta to 3.6, neither came up on my Icon. got to registration which last night was told that it was authenticated now can't get any help. Please no more lists I need person to help me. Can't get Chats

    Firefox will not open. If I click the icon I get a less than oe second flash of Firefox on the bar and then its quickly changes to Finder.
    I have tried many different User names/Passwords that I no longer know which one is used. Please I have spent hours just trying to get connected to Firefox and cannot do it. I need to open Firefox for some documents for my job or I will lose the job. I wrote
    all of this to you last night and was told than I was connected. Today I connected the old proxy and think that I have cleared that up. Should I drop the old Icon in trash, throw it away and start with either 3.6 or beta. I really need some help and will

  • I'm on ff 3.5.5 for Mac. I've been prompted twice to download latest version. Each time I have dragged the ff icon from applications folder to the dock and all seems ok. But next time I start ff it says I'm on 3.5.5 and should update to latest version!

    There was no "update failed" message
    I wonder whether I'm doing the right thing when I drag to the dock. There's only one ff icon in the applications folder. The first time I was prompted to update it showed that days date next to the icon as if the update was successful. The second time was a few days later but I think it was still the same date next to the icon (25/8/10) I've only just noticed that (on 10/9/10) so can't be sure but I'm sure the second time was around 2nd or 3rd of Sept.
    Also, I am running two versions of ff- one is english, the other is the Italian version. They can't be opened at the same time but they seem to talk to eachother in the background, so to speak, because when I open one after a long gap, it opens with all the history and settings of the other one, right up to the last website I went to. I think I closed both when updating because it prompts you to close all programmes and restart (I think/ remember) so I just clicked ok to that prompt.
    By the way, I got the prompt to update twice for ''BOTH'' the Italian and the English version- so 4 times altogether so it would seem that ff does recognise them as separate but still has problems concluding the update for each separate one respectively.
    Thank you very much if you can help.

    Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean reinstall.
    Install the new version that you have downloaded.
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • Any way to see ICONS in Open and Close Dialog boxes?

    Is there any way to see ICONS in Open and Close Dialog boxes, instead of just lists of items names?
    I know you can preview one at a time, but I'd love to see all my artwork as picture icons, just as you can in a finder window.
    Windows does this, but not OSX that I know of. Is there a third party app that enables you to see icon view in the Open and Close Dialogs?

    Thank you Steve Jobs. I guess that feature has been added in Leopard. Now there really is nothing that I'll miss from Windoze.

  • I installed Firefox today but it will not open and the icon on the taskbar will not close and I cannot uninstall it and the helper app does not work either?

    I have tried everything that I know to uninstall the new version of Firefox. I also installed Aurora beta and it had the same behavior and I was able to uninstall that. I cannot open a ff browser to work on it using much of your support information. I click on icon but it does not start on the desktop but task manager shows it as running. I have to end task in task manager to close it. I can't uninstall it and have tried system restore but that also doesn't work because of another issue with my antivirus program.

    If this is on a Windows computer, check this Microsoft link;

  • I downloaded Maverick and now I can't open pages from the Dock.  The Pages icon just jumps up and down abut doesn't open.  However, I can one pages by clicking on the App. I have an iMac with iWork 08.

    Since upgrading to Maverick from Mountain Lion I am unable to open Pages from the Dock.  When I click on the pages icon in the dock the icon just keeps bouncing up and down.  However, I can open pages by clicking on the icon in the Apps folder.  No problems prior to upgrading to Maverick.

    Quit Pages. Drag its icon out of the Dock. Create a new one by dragging the application into the Dock. Test.

  • Questions on Interactive Report Icons

    When I created an Interactive Report, rectangular icons have been automatically created on the left side of the report on every line.
    When clicked one of the icons, it displays the details of the line in vertical order.
    Here are my questions:
    1. When I've hidden some columns in the interactive report and clicked the icon, it does not display hidden column details. But I want to hide those columns only in the report but displays all details when the icon is clicked. How can I do this?
    2. How can I hide the icons?
    3. How can I use the icons not to display line details but to direct to an editable page to edit the same details?
    Thanks,
    Guy

    Hello
    1. When I've hidden some columns in the interactive report and clicked the icon, it does not display hidden column details. But I want to hide those columns only in the report but displays all details when the icon is clicked. How can I do this?You can create another region, or page that will show your row description by identifier or rowid. You can do this by changing Link Column type to "Link to Custom Target"
    2. How can I hide the icons?Go to Interactive Report -> Link Column -> Link Column change to (Exclude Link Column)
    3. How can I use the icons not to display line details but to direct to an editable page to edit the same details?The same as answer 1.

  • Safari icon bounces but doesn't open

    Almost exactly a year ago, the Safari icon on my doc stopped opening. It bounces once or twice but I can't access Safari at all. The same has happened to the Mac Mail icon and a few others that were on the dock. I recall seeing something that looked like a little expoding cloud and hearing a "bang" and the app either disappeared from the dock completely or it just bounces but won't open. It happens so quickly that sometimes I don't know what I've lost. (Nothing appears in the trash, btw.)I checked the logs and here are just the first several lines of what is a very lengthy list of things in the log.
    I hope someone might be able to decipher what went wrong and how to fix it.

  • Icon bounces and iCal crashes immediately in Leopard

    I did not even have a chance to check email notification issues.
    iCal fails to open since 10.5 upgrade.
    the icon bounces in the dock, iCal windows fleshes for a split of a second - and that is it. Apparently, something tells iCal to quit, as it is not noticed by the system as failure. I do not get the usual report to Apple thing after other crashes.
    I tried deleting all my iCal files (calendars, plists, calendar entries, iSync files), but the only change is, after the first run, the iCal launches and quits much faster.
    Creating other account makes it possible to run iCal over there, so one of my original user files or permissions is perhaps corrupt.

    I was in the same boat with iCal crashing after install of Leopard. And I may have an answer for you.
    Observations:
    Like you I tried the deletion of related caches and preferences, but also went through a reinstall of iLife '06 to no avail.There seemed to be another symptoms to the problem. When connecting my iPod to iTunes the Contacts tab shows syncing of calendars is not checked. When attempting to reestablish the sync, a message replies that there are no calendars available.
    What worked for me:
    1 Remove the calendars from your user library to the desktop.
    2 Start ical
    3 When the Blank calendar shows up go to File and import each of your calendars from the desktop.
    Good Luck
