How do I get My USB/SD card to show up on my dektop when I plug it in?

Whenever I plug in my SD card or my flash drive, I can find it in my finder but it doesn't appear on my desktop like it does on other Apple computers. Is there a way I can make that happen?

Activate the Finder and select Preferences from the Finder menu. Set as follows:

    how do i get my hp pavillion dm1 to print on my wireless printer when using t-obile usb external broadband

    Mama Shirley, sounds like you are looking for information on networking your printer. I have to unfortunately inform you that you are not going to likely be able to do that with a mobile hotspot (which appears to be your source of broadband). This is because that card provides your devices with a roaming IP address which is subject to change, because of this it cannot create a stable network for the printer to communicate across.
    My recommendation would be to purchase a router and connect the printer through that router. As a note you do NOT have to connect the router to broadband to create a network for your devices. It will simply provide you with an internal network for your devices. 
    Let me know if this is the information you are looking for or if there is still more assistance I can offer.

    PS I hope you are having a lovely week and that the weather is as wonderful where you are as it is here!

    Well, you posted this question in the iMac forum and since you do not have your system info listed in your signature, we all assumed that you were asking about an iMac - not an eMac. That's why out pics do not make any sense.
    Yes, the eMac has USB ports also. They are the second, third, and fourth ports back from the front - the ones after the small circular headphone style jacks.

    You don't get a SIM card unlocked, your iPhone has to be unlocked to use any SIM card.  Contact your carrier and ask if they will unlock your iPhone.

  • Q: G40, How can I get the USB to work? Error message: go to a srink...

    I have a Thinkpad G40 2388 A9G and the computer is running full so I decided to clean up and in that connection I bought a 16 GB SanDisk mini Cruzer to copy files to from the G40 harddisk. However, now I have spend all day to get this to work and it still does not work. When I plug de USB stick in I do see the one of the two drives, namely E: which is the one with programmes, however I do not see F: which I should use as storage. When I click on E I can from there click on F, however then I receive this eror message: This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Go to the sysadm. I do have adminsuitrator rights and other memory sticks work ok on G40 just as weel as the mini cruzer works fine on other laptops. I thought that maybe it is the driver. However the system claims that I have the most recent driver (from 31 january 2001 which I find a bit old). I have checked the websites from windows, Sandisk and Lenovo. On the Lenovo website it is stated that the USB driver is the one I have, however then it is mentioned that it is for Windows 98E. My OS is Windows XP Pro.
    I am about to give up, can someone help?? What do I need to do??
    Thanks.

    Error 1015 points to an unauthorized downgrade of the iOS or a jailbreak and then attempting to restore to an authorized iOS. The person you bought it from likely jailbroke the device. Use Google to fine a solution as we can't help you with jailbroken devices.
    Sorry

    I thought So too but then I went to Itunes Library and try and buy a single song from an album for $1.29.  Now my Itunes Gift card balance is $ 7.10 as I mentioned earlier. it still did not let me buy and kept trying billing my Visa card.
    Should I restart my PC and Itunes and retry. What do you suggest?

    I had a similar issue with my Outlook contacts' home addresses missing on my iPhone after having upgraded to iOS 7. There is a workaround - for each problematic contact on your iPhone, add a dummy address by editing the contact. The home address will now appear. If you have many contacts at once, try the workaround by using this method of batch-editing iPhone contacts.

  • How do I get my Exchange "home" addresses to show up in Contacts?

    I synch my iPhone contacts from my work Exchange Server.  Ever since I upgraded to IOS7, I cannot see any "home" addresses for my contacts.  All I can see is "work" addresses for each contact.  All phone numbers and e-mails are fine.  It's only caused the "home address" field to disappear on my phone.  How do I get my Exchange "home" addresses to show up?

  • How do I get all of my songs to show up in my library?

    How do I get all of my songs to show up in my library?  I used to have all of my songs show up in my library but now I only have 42 in there.  I have home sharing turned on.  I have two phones on my account (IPhone 4 & IPhone 5).  I would like to add the songs to my phones but can't because they are no longer showing up in my library. 

    Why aren't all of your songs on your computer?

  • How do I get a "transfer images" button to show up in the solution center?

    How do I get a "transfer images" button to show up in the solution center for my officejet 6500 709a on XP?
    Scan buttons are displayed and work, as does print.

    What installing the twain plug-in, you mean? Go to your applications folder. Find the Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 folder. Look in there for a folder called support files, then for a folder called optional plugins. In the Optional Plugins folder, there should be a folder called ImportModules. Just drag that from the Optional Plugins folder to the regular Plugins folder.
    This will be infinitely easier to do if you put your applications folder window into list view, not the default icon view. To do that, click this button at the top of the window:

  • How do I get my apple tv icon to show on my macbook pro. I'm running mavercik

    how do I get my apple tv icon to show on my macbook pro. I'm running maverick.

    Thanks for the link Diesel. Not quite there yet. Software is all up to date to 6.0.2. Your link suggests I should have second or third gen apple tv. Not sure what generation Apple TV I have.  Don't believe its a really early model.  I have model MC572LL/A. But it has the latest update, so I would think it would connect.  Still no apple tv icon on my macbook pro.
