How do I see "Macintosh HD" in Lion?

Hi,
By default, there is now "Macintosh HD" in the sidebar of Finder in Lion, and I don't know how to get to it? Anyone know? Thanks.

Move your mouse up to the menu bar - now, can you not see this (you need to click on the Finder and then Preferences):
And, when you click on Preferences, do you see this:
Make sure to check settings under both General and Sidebar........
And, then, go to View menu and down to view options if you want to adjust/personalize the view:

    I have just purchased os x mountain lion from teh app store. how can i see if it is downloading correctly and how long should it take?

    If you click on Purchases icon in the toolbar you should find it listed with your purchases. There should be a progress bar showing.
    The file is over 4  GBs. How long it takes depends on your internet service speed.

    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Alternatively, see:

    Choose the version you have installed now:
    OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X

  • I have an AirPort Express, iPhone 5, and MacBook (late 2010). How do I see the graphical overview of my network?

    I have an AirPort Express, iPhone 5, and MacBook (late 2010). How do I see the graphical overview of my network? (I can't seem to find a way to see it).
    My computer is acting....well, strange.  I can't put my finger on it but it doesn't seem right.  Menus look skewed.  Some applications look like they're trying to disguise themselves as apple (no consistant window formats).  Airplay turns on and off on my devices on it's own.  And some locked system preference seem to unlock themselves, or won't even grey-out after I lock them. 
    I have changed my password many times but the issue keeps coming back.  I feel like I'm going crazy - but I know that something just isn't right...maybe someone's been hacking me? (I have no idea why...) 
    Anyway, maybe I could have stemmed from an improper setup of my wireless network.
    Any thoughts?
    Also, right now, when I just signed into apple communities....
         I have an iCloud email address that is accociated with my 1 and ONLY Apple ID...
         It seems to have been working but...
         When I loged in here it only saw my:
                                  OLD MacBookPro
                                  3 Old iPods
                                  My new MacMini with OS X Sever (Server is currently turned off)
         Could my Apple ID be confusing my MacBook (which I'm currently using) as an old iPod or my old MacBookPro?
         I doesn't even see my iPad (1st generation), or my iPhone 5
         Also, the Mac App store is giving me the option to download Mountain Lion??? I already have version 10.8.3...
    Can anyone perform an analysis on my account and computer?  I have been to the Apple Store 6 seperate time and the problem was not resolved (after 6 COMPLETE hard drive wipes).
    PLEASE HELP!

    i guess you could put the aiport utility app on your iphone, click on the aiport express there, it will show you how many devices are connected to it and the mac addresses of those devices.

  • How do I print my iCal (Mountain Lion 10.8.5) in 5x7 format?

    How do I print my iCal (Mountain Lion 10.8.5) in a 5x7 format? 5x7 is not listed as an option in the print menu.

    For custom print sizes, see the software called Clickbooks: http://www.bluesquirrel.com/products/cbmac/
    I would ask them if what you want is possible before purchasing.  A customer of mine got it to make many other custom formatted pages.   Don't have them anymore, but they I'm sure could tell you if it is possible.  Be sure to also indicate your printer model.

    How can I see my Mac in another Mac?
    I mean, I have a Mac in the office and a Mac at home. Is it possible not to carry mine, just to connect it to the office's one? Thank you very much

    "Sharing" the way Mac OS X uses it means giving permission for others to use something. Once Sharing something is enabled, you just use the thing that has been Shared.
    To access your Mac at work from the Internet would require changing the configuartion of the Router at work to allow port-forwarding.

    my Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. how to why install OS X Mountain Lion ?

    How?
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion - http://www.apple.com/osx/how-to-upgrade
    Mac OS X: System requirements for Mountain Lion (10.8) - http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html
    Lion and Mountain Lion application compatibility - http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Kappy 08/2012 post on upgrading to Snow Leopard, then Lion or Mountain Lion -  https://discussions.apple.com/message/19401628 - including how to get Snow Leopard and Lion since Apple removed them from the online store. 
    MacBook upgrade possibilities - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19577869 - "The Early 2006 model 1,1 Core Duo can only run a maximum of 10.6 Snow Leopard. The models Late 2006 Core 2 Duos 2,1 through Early 2008 4,1 can only run a maximum of 10.7 Lion. The Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody through the Mid 2010 White Unibody model 7,1 can run 10.8 Mountain Lion."
    Why?  Good question.  I am a strong believer in not upgrading just because something new comes out, especially if you are running older equipment.  I would say unless you see a need for it, just stick with Snow Leopard until something comes along that absolutely requires Mountain Lion.

  • How to do a clean install with lion after it is already installed?

    how to do a clean install with lion after it is already installed?

    Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
    If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

    On your Mac....
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility

  • How do I view word docs on lion?

    How do I view word docs on lion? I just downloaded Lion in order to get icloud to work and am hating it so far. It's super slow, my address book keeps freezing and now I can't access my word files. Any advise out there?

    TextEdit will open Word documents.
    For the problems you are otherwise describing I recommend:
    Reinstalling Lion Without the Installer
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alterhatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar.
