HDD icons not appearing on my Gnome desktop when mounted [SOLVED]

I have several ntfs partitons that I'd like to see as icons on my Gnome desktop. When I ran Debian/Lenny, I would mount them like so:
$ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /mnt/D
After that command ran, a new icon (HDD) would appear on my Gnome desktop. I didn't mess with fuseblock at all. I'd like to get this behavior with Arch but don't understand what I need to do.
Thanks!
EDIT: foutrelis solved this, see his post below.

It looks like if the mount point is under /media it will show up on the desktop. This is not the case with /mnt.
You're the man, foutrelis! That did it! I can't explain why it worked mounted to /mnt/D under Debian but /media/D works for me! Thank you for the reply!
Now if you can tell me how I can edit the list of partitions that Gnome gives users, you'll be batting 1000. Basically, I don't want every single partition to appear in the list.

It's not clear whether you were able to do any backups to this drive at all. If not, it's probably not formatted properly. See #5 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions for instructions.
If you did get any successful backups, there may be a problem with the drive, or the backups may be corrupted. Try to repair the backups, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

What iPhone do you have? You can check in settings>>general>> about.
If you have a 3G you cannot update beyond iOS 4.2.1. The 3G is over 4 years old an was discontinued over 2 1/2 years ago. You need the latest ios to run the latest versions of some apps. If you have a 3GS you can update.
If your phone is not responding, reset it by pressing and holding down both the home button ad lock/ sleep button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears.

The iphone is not a storage device.
The music sync is one way - computer to iphone. The exception being itunes purchases.
You need to copy everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.

"Save As" or Downloaded file Icons not appearing on Desktop or FindeFolders

I've had this on-going problem for weeks now. I thought it was isolated to Microsoft Office tools, and now I'm not so sure. (When I would save attachments from MS Office to my Desktop, they would not appear.)
However, this morning I booted my machine brought up Safari and start surfing . Found a PDF I wanted to read, downloaded it, and no ICON. Spotlight says it's there, and I can open it from Spotlight, but the ICON is STILL not on my desktop.
When I've had this problem before, I could log out/log back in and all the Icons magically appear.
Anyone else having this issue?
This seemed to start having right after I applied the 10.4.10 update. Yes, I've repaired Permissions, etc.

Finder can sometimes be a real sluggard about updating folders, there used to be a nice contextual menu item called Nudge which would force it to update. Unfortunately it no longer works. I tried writing a simple Applescript to force Finder to update but I couldn't get that to work either. It seems especially prone to problems about updating the Desktop, which is one of a number of reasons I tend to not put stuff on the Desktop--I keep a couple of folders on the Desktop for the sorts of files one tends to drop there and put things into those folders instead. Rather than logging out/in you can force the Finder to relaunch, which generally does force an update of the Desktop and folder contents:
1. Hold down the option key and click on the Finder icon in the Dock
2. Select Relaunch from the menu
All open windows will be closed by this action, but at least you don't have to quit your programs. Takes about a second or so.

Why does the CD icon not appear on my desktop?

I just got my new iMac with lion on it - When I insert a CD or my external hard drive in the USB the icons do not appear on the desktop like they did on snow leapord. Any idea how to get the CD and drive Icon's to appear on my desktop?

Go to Finder>Preferences...>General...and make the appropriate choices:

Desktop Icons Not Appearing

I recently update to 10.6, and have the 10.6.1 update as well. Every now and then, when I turn on my macbook, the desktop will be blank. Sometimes I have to restart and sometimes they will just pop up a few minutes later. I have the Macintosh HD icon and a few various excel icons. Any thoughts?

There seems to be a bug with Finder where some aspect of disconnecting a MBP from an external display will cause the desktop to crash. Symptoms include:
All desktop icons disappear but files on the desktop can still be accessed by browsing through Finder.
Desktop background image cycling (if enabled) does not occur.
You can bring up the desktop shortcut menu (i.e. by right clicking)
I've noticed people complaining of similar problems in the following forum topics:

The workaround is to relaunch Finder using the "Force Quit" application, at which point the desktop works normally again. However I'd really like a proper fix to this bug. If anyone's heard about one, please post about it here.

Reply and forward icons not appearing in mail app when I respond/forward from Gmail

When I reply or forward an email within the iphone mail app, the arrow icons showing I replied or forwarded appear beside the email in my iphone mail app inbox.
When I reply or forward from gmail, these icons do not appear in my iphone mail app. Does show that I have read and flagging/unflagging works.
Any thoughts?

Close out of the mail app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
Then do a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
Then check your mail again.

File Icons Not Appearing in Finder

Over the years I have archived projects on CDs and DVDs. I have always worked on Macs. No PC involvement. I have been doing this since 1987. Over the past couple weeks I have noticed that the icons of files (not folders) on my older disks are not appearing. I am using the latest Mac OS 10.8.3 on a MacBook Pro. However, on a friend's older Mac Pro tower (Intel), running an older OS (10.6.8), the file icons do appear. Also, it seems that all folder icons do appear on both systems. I have searched the Internet for an answer. I have a lot of old files that I currently cannot seem to access because of this issue. Can anyone shed any light on this? I think it may be an OS issue.

Hi,
I was under the impression that the Disk Level info was the bit that had the problem.
I am not sure why I ended up with that thought as you clearly state it is contents type info such as tiffs and the like you cannot "see" for long.
The Site did help with that.
I dug out a old Mag CD with a game on in.
I do not suffer losing sight of any of the files no matter which view I adopt.
It lists the Mac OS Standard as the format and the Roman encoding your Video and pics show.
(Strangely it says it was Modified and the date is before the listed Modified dates of the files and folder it contains).
I don't have any self created disks from that time to test.
I am at a loss myself now.
Sometimes, as in my Pic, the Applications that were written for OS 9 (Classic era) and earlier have the no entry sign over them.
Other times the items will show a generic file icon as it has "lost" which app it belongs to. (Which the PRAM reset deals with)
Your files clearly show the icons of the apps that would normally open them.
Files or folders that are normally hidden don't get counted in Quick Look or other forms of veiwing the contents, such as the lower bar in my pic.
It would appear the OS is reading the Disk properly but then deciding that it is not going to display all of it.
I tried viewing the files on my drive if different views - iCon and Cover Flow for certain - but did not notice any difference in what was presented.
If you have the Disk Open and in the Finder > View Menu > Show View Options and then choose Show Icon Preview do you get to see the tiff files at all ?
I would also try the Size change in the Cover Flow view just to see if it is something about the icon data that is "missing" or being mis-read.
I am clutching at straws at this point.

Sms icon not appearing in N76

I am using N76 from the last 1 year and today i had a strange problem.. I am receiving the messages but the notification is not appearing (means, the icon of envelop on the upper right corner of the screen).
I have to open my inbox after every 10 15 minutes to check whether there are any new messages or not? The message tune is also not beeping.
I've checked the profile and there the tunes are working properly. Also I've reset the mobile to the factory settings but still facing the same proble.
Any one can help please???

Maybe this helps:
JMenuItem aItem = new JMenuItem();
aItem.setIcon(new javax.swing.ImageIcon("c:/folder1/folder2/MyImage.gif"))If you're not sure which separator you should use:
java.io.File.separator
The above is a little ugly, so we produce some nice code. Make a static method and store it in an Object which has your other useful tools. You can reach this method from anywhere in your code:
MyBestObject.getSep();
public static String getSep() {
return java.io.File.separator;
}The ImageIcon creation argument would be:
"c:"+getSep()+"folder1"+getSep()+"more stuff...

Content presenter edit icon not appearing

I am relatively new in this area ....I have an ADF application where i have the UCM connection defined. I expanded the UCM folders in the connection pallette of Jdeveloper and dropped an image from a folder in UCM repository as Content presenter taskflow in my jsff page fragment. The page fragment has the page customizable, panel customizable etc for the customizations. A taskflow comprising that page fragment is dropped on to a jspx page. When i run the page, i could see the image rendered. But when i press control Shift C , i could just see 2 icons (Manage Web content and Refresh) and not Edit icon where i am expecting to select some different image from UCM at runtime?
May be, with site studio region def / templates, this could work. If i go with Site studio in content presenter, i need to create region def, template and data files extra for this requirement. I am expecting something similar like when you drag the content presenter taskflow from resource catalog onto Webcenter portal, it will let you select some image on single content item selection at runtime.
I just want to select some different image from ucm at runtime thru content presenter without site studio. Is this the expected behaviour or the problem could be because of any ucm security.I checked the security group of the content item as public and is in released status. rebuild Index collection.
Regards
Prabhu

The Edit icon only appears for HTML content or for a proper data file.
If you just drag and drop an image, the edit will not work and you will not be able to select another image.
If, however you want to select another image in the CP, you don't have to do this in contribution mode (ctrl shif c) but in edit mode (ctrl shift e) and press the edit icon on the content presenter. This will allow you to select another image from UCM.
You can find more info in my tutorial: http://www.yonaweb.be/webcenter_11g_ps3_tutorial_introduction_content_integration and the next part for the data files.
