How to clear off the desktop too many items

On my MacBook Pro Retina is there a fast way to save all the items,ie. remove them from the desktop and save them in a swift way arrange does not work. It looks like my real desk!

Yes. Select as many items as you want, then select "New Folder with Selection..." from the File menu.
You can also control-click (or two finger tap, or right - click) to bring up a contextual menu. That choice will be the first one shown.

  • How to clear off Jpanel off its components?

    hai forum,
    In my project i have to select a method when textfields to enter its parameters will be displayed in a panel(which is inside a scrollpanel).
    When i select a second method(which is done using radio button) i want the previous panel screen having some text boxes to be cleared.
    Could you forum friends help me out?
    Thank you all.
    Shailesh

    Sir,
    my problem is that I have a set of methods which could be selected using radiobutton.I f i select a method as many JTextFields will be displayed in a JPanel, as there are parameters.i.e if the method has two parameters then two textfields will be displayed.These are for the users to enter their input into.
    Now ,when i select a different method then naturally the JPanel should be cleared of its previous textfields to give way for the new ones.
    So how to clear off the older ones.Just noe i tried jPanel.removeAll(); but no action seems to be done.

  • How do I stop my MacBook clearing the icons off the desktop when I switch off

    How do I stop my MacBook clearing the icons off the desktop when I switch off the machine?

    Hi Matt
    After I create say a word document, file it on my desktop and then shut down my machine. The next time I open up the MacBook the file icon has been removed from the desktop. I can still retrieve the file in a folder labeled with the month I created it. But why has the OS removed it from the desktop and how can I stop it happening?
    It happens to alias icons as well!

    There are several ways. The two easiest are to click the Junk icon to turn it off or right click the message and select Mart As-Not Junk.

  • How can we hide the Desktop when Dashboard is invoked?

    Widgets do not display elegantly against a cluttered desktop, nor even against a clean desktop with a busy photo for wallpaper.
    Is there any kind of preference (or etc.) that would cause the Desktop always to go hidden (go black, go solid color, intensely darken or etc.) whenever Dashboard is invoked?
    In other words, how can we stop the Desktop from "bleeding through" the display of our widgets?
    Many thanks.

    Hi ChicagoLarry,
    No way in the system I know of.
    I found this Desktopple Pro widget on this site. I haven't tried it myself and am not a fan of haxies, so use at your own risk.
    EDIT:
    Actually the reviews on MacUpdate are quite positive. There is also a free version Desktopple 1.1

    The App Store has many useful business related apps: Word processors, spreadsheets, presentation apps, CRM apps. Maps is useful for navigating to appointments. Newstand for reading periodicals related to business.

  • How do I change the desktop Icon for an external hard drive?  I have gone to "Get Info" and tried dragging and dropping  several formats of pictures and the icon changes to the generic image of that file type.

    how can I change the desktop icon for an external hard drive.  Using LaCies and Dimple hard drives.

    One of the things I've found with OS X (at least with Snow Leopard, which is my first excursion into OS X), is that all too often the thumbnail displayed on a file, whether a file created or one downloaded, is a false thumbnail. That is, when you do a Get Info on the file the icon in the upper left is the generic icon for that file type, rather than the thumbnail displayed in Finder. Makes it a bit difficult to copy.
    Apparently Finder uses Preview in the background to generate the displayed thumbnail without actually creating one.
    What I've resorted to doing, particularly with graphic images, is to process them with GraphicConverter - I have its prefs set to automatially add thumbnails and previews. With an individual file this means opening it in GC and doing a Save As. However, a much easier and faster way is when there are two or more such files; I put them in a common folder and drop the folder onto GC. GC then opens them in a catalog view, in the process adding real thumbnails and previews to each automatically. Doesn't take long to do several hundred files that way.

  • How to switch off the pop-up message in rspcm

    Hi there,
    Does anyone know how to switch off the pop-up message in rspcm?
    The monitoring user shouldn't get the pop-up below anymore:
    „Statusänderung des Requests – Sollen Folge-Events ausgelöst werden?“
    The pop-up in english might be
    “status change of request - trigger subsequent processing?” or similar
    We would like to outsource the process chain monitoring (rspcm) to our operating.
    But operating shouldn't deal with the pop-up above and make decisions especially when delta infopackages are involved.
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    Regards,
    Wolfgang Smetana

    Elena,
    Is the subsequent process defined on success or failure ? if that is not defined - you might come across this message.....

  • How to switch off  the  error sound  in Triversity

    Hi
    How to switch off the  error sound in Triversity, The audio of the computer is already in mute state. The problem is found with DELL pc and not with HP

    Mohammed,
    There is, actually, a better way to get rid of that annoying beep every time you get a policy prompt, error, etc.
    I have a Dell Vostro 1300 and I have done this in other Dell laptops with sucess. Perform the following:
    Go to Control Panel --> System --> (on the HARDWARE tab) Click on DEVICE MANAGER
    In DEVICE MANAGER, click on VIEW --> SHOW HIDDEN DEVICES
    Now, go to "NON-PLUG AND PLAY DRIVERS" and you will see "BEEP" listed as an active device. Right click on it and select "DISABLE" and then reboot your laptop.
    You should be golden right after the reboot.
    Hope this helped,
    Alfredo Carigga
