How do I set up my desktop?

I am trying to set up my desktop of new computer.  Cannot figure out how to set up icons on opening page showing desktop items of major interes to me.

Hello Ogarcia013,
I understand you have a new computer and you are not seeing the desktop setup, is that correct? I will try to assist you with this problem.
Can you explain exactly what you are seeing at this time?  In addition, can you provide the full make and model of the computer you have.
Please respond back at your earliest convenience.
Thanks

  • How do I set up a desktop/laptop network with a WRT54G v5

    I'm a novice when it comes ot networking, but I was hoping someone could guide me as to how to set up a wireless network with a laptop (non-linksys wireless card) and a desktop with a WRT54G. I've already got it where the laptop can connect to the internet via the WRT54G but I'd like to set-up a wireless network where the laptop can view and/or modify files on the desktop and vice-versa. Can aanyone help me? (I'd also like to add my external hard drive to the network I create via ethernet connection to the 54G, later on)
    Can anyone give me a guide or even tell me if it's possible?

    I'm glad it worked out for you. By the way, is this what you were trying to download? If so, I don't seem to have any problems downloading it. Check your PC's for any restrictions regarding downloads. Check your firewall as well.Message Edited by Katsuki23 on 06-30-2006 12:49 AM

  • How do I set the "request desktop site" as default?

    At many sites I have to double tip in safari before the browser recognize the tip - this s****! After I request the desktop verison of this site, everthing is fine.
    I.e. ebay.de is a very good example. Bye the way, I don't want to use the ebay app - there are too many restrictions in the search and filter feature compared to the desktop site.
    The next advantage would be, that the google picture search and the displaying of pictures would better use the retina display resolution and would instantly show an accurate (hd) version of a picture and not the slushy low-res one.
    Thanks in advance

    1. If you use iCloud to synchronize Safari with a mobile device, you may be opening a bookmark to the mobile version of the site. Another possibility is that you're getting a Handoff activity from the device.
    Remove everything from the URL except the domain name and try again. For instance, if the URL is something like this:
              http://www.example.com/mobile
    or
               http://mobile.example.com
    change it to this:
               http://www.example.com
    2. From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
    and confirm. Test.

  • HT2478 how do you make the setting to change desktop background every time you shut down your mac

    how to make setting to change desktop background every time you close your mac
    because i want to make it if anybody tries to change my dekstop picture i want it to go backto set desktop picture

    Don't let other people access your Mac in admin mode - they might change something a lot more important than the Desktop picture.
    However you can use Automator: create an Application in it, and select 'Set the Desktop Picture' from the Library. Choose the picture you want. Save the application, then go to System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items and select the Automator application you just created. This will then run at startup and set your chosen picture.

    Close ... before going for a specific Cisco app ... lets find out some details:
    Host we need more details:
    What is your server environment (Windows Server, or Mac OS X Server, or Linux)?
    What security is implemented in your environment - as what is restricted (RDP for all or specifc credentials on all machines? Are you part of local admin group to the server you wish to connect)?
    Does your environment Support CISCO IPSec connection? If so use Settings> VPN and IPSec tab to enter VPN details, if not then go with above suggestion. IF your restricted to RSA then either built in VPN settings or 3rd party app for RSA would suffice.
    Finally, there are many RDP applications out there I use "Mocha RDP Light" (free minimal ads when launched not when connecting).

  • After downloading Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta to my desktop I restarted the computer, but I do not receive any prompts to create an account with a Secret Password. How do I set up the account if the prompt never show up?

    Several months ago I installed the Firefox Home app on my iPhone to sync the bookmarks that I had on my Windows XP home computer. It has worked just fine until a few days ago. Just recently I was notified that the app would no longer work because of changes that have been made. I have tried to follow the instructions that were emailed to me regarding how to setup the new Firefox Sync add-on, but I am having a problem. After downloading Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta to my desktop and restarting my computer, I do not receive any prompts to create an account with a password and a secret phrase, as the instructions specify. How do I set up the account if the prompt never shows up?

    Click on the Firefox button then select Options to open the Options dialog. Now go to the Sync panel for the option to setup a new account.

  • How do i set up a second display for my iMac desktop?  I want to use both displays at the same time.

    how do i set up a second display for my iMac desktop?  I want to use both displays at the same time.  My iMac is the 24" Late 2006 model.  I recall that there is a cord for plugging in a second monitor, but I want to make sure that i can use both monitors side-by-side at the same time.  thank you.

    If the Display supports DVI, then you will need a > Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter and a DVI cable.
    If the Display only supports VGA, then you wiil need a > Mini DVI to VGA Adapter and a VGA cable.
    Noting that the (digital) DVI is far better than the (analog) VGA connection.

  • How can I set up firefox home on my iPhone without a desktop

    How can I set up the Firefox Home App on my iPhone without using a desktop computer and without having to sync it, too?
    My home computers are not functioning right now, but Firefox is my favorite browser.
    Can someone help me get it working on my iPhone?

    Actually, there is no version of Firefox for the iPhone. Firefox Home is a helper app to sync certain data to your iPhone.
    More info on Apple vs. third party browsers: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/925084 Why isn't Mozilla Firefox available on the MOST SELLED and MOST WISHED tablet on the market? The iPad! I mean, Firefox home is not even an universal app.]

  • How can I set up multiple spaces (desktops) on my new MacBook Pro 10.9.5?  I have six set up on my other computer MacBook Pro 10.8.5 but can't find how to do it on this new one.  Would appreciate help on this.  Cheers.

    It's not completely obvious. What you have to do in Spaces is to position your cursor to the upper right of the screen, after which faint + (plus) sign appears in that area. Click that, upon which another Desktop will appear.
    The + may be difficult or impossible to see with some desktop backgrounds (black, for instance):

  • I have an iPad with IMAP email accounts set up but I can find no "inbox, drafts, trash" folders anywhere, either on my ipad or desktop Mac.  How can I set them up?  They do not show on my MacMail preferences either and I can find no way to add them.

    I have an iPad with IMAP email accounts set up but can find no "inbox, drafts, trash" folders for each email account anywhere on my iPad or in Mac Mail.   How can I set them up? I can't find anyway to set them up anywhere.  Thanks

    Hello blu monkey,
    I found some resources that I think might help with the visibility of your IMAP email folders on your iPad and Mac.
    On your iPad, you may need to follow the steps in this article to make sure your folders are visible:
    iOS: If IMAP Mail folders are not visible
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1393
    On your Mac, I am not sure if you have the sidebar enabled, but you can enable it using the steps in the article below.  When this is showing, you should see your email account listed near the bottom with a triangle next to it.  When the triangle is pointing down, it should show your folders:
    Mail (Mountain Lion): Show or hide the sidebar

  • How do I set the background on the Secondary Desktop?

    I just upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and connected a Secondary display.  Computer is a Quad-core Mac Pro.   I have a 27" Cinema display as the primary, the secondary is a 22" DVI monitor connected to the second Mini DisplayPort using an Apple adapter.
    The problem is that I can not set the Secondary Desktop.  It defaults to "Aurora" and refuses to budge.
    If I go to System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver, a window titled "Secondary Desktop" opens up on the secondary display, but no matter what selection I make the background on the secondary display does not change.
    Same results (Secondary desktop does not change) if I right click the secodary display and select "Change Desktop Background".
    This is not a complicated setup; no TV, no MacBook Pro used as a monitor, etc., just a Mac Pro with two monitors.
    It seems like this should be easier. 

    Does this Graphics/Displays report from System Profiler look correct?
    I'm surprised that the Connection type for the secondary monitor is not
    showing up.
