I cant find the desktop and dock

i neeed help

of course-you've come to the right place, nadon
Okay, the dock should be at the bottom of your screen, or on the left, or the right. It's usually where your most often used apps are. You can, of course, drag stuff into the dock and out again, as you need to.  As for finding the Desktop---
     Legend has it that it's above the dock and goes to the top of your monitor's screen, to both the right and left corner on the top and the right and left corner on the bottom. Do you see that Apple in the top left corner of the screen? Everything below that, basically, is the Desktop.
--I thought I've heard all kinds of questions, but you gave me one I've never heard before, and for that, I say "thank you" ---
If you are still stuck, nadon, ask someone else  here or go into your local Apple store and ask someone there. I think you can arrange one-to-one classes which will teach you how to use your Mac.  Sadly, no, they are not free.

    If you registered CS4 then you might be able to find the serial number for it in your Adobe account online.  If not, you still might be able to get someone in chat to assist you with getting it.

  • How JFileChooser finds the Desktop and can browse CIFS(SMB) in windows.

    Hello.
    I'm currently using serveral methods from FileSystemView used by JFileChooser to detect if a File is a system root, a floppy, or to find the "My Documents" folder under windows.
    JFileChooser however is also able to provide a link to the desktop. How do I get that location from Java?
    Further more. JFileChooser is able to browse and use resources located on the network using CIFS(SMB). I've searched through JFileChoosers source. But I can't figure out how it does this.
    I'm currently writing a Folder synchronization app. As you can see in the screenshot ( http://users.telenet.be/greenhouse/Screenshot-7.png ) I'm trying to integrate the location browser (Look based on the GTK file browser) more into windows. I want my users to be able to browse CIFS just like in the JFileChooser. How do I do this?
    The reason I'm writing my own browser is because the GTK one provided in Java is more then lacking. And I can provide browsing for remote resources more easily (like SFTP and SCP)
    In short:
    *JFileChooser however is also able to provide a link to the desktop. How do I get that location from Java?
    *JFileChooser browses and uses CIFS in windows. How do I do this (without a 3th party library) the same way as JFileChooser does it?

    JFileChooser fr = new javax.swing.JFileChooser();
            FileSystemView fw=fr.getFileSystemView();
            defaultfolder = fw.getDefaultDirectory().getPath();
           String desktopfolder;
            if(System.getProperty("os.name").startsWith("Windows")){
                for(File tmp:fw.getRoots()){
                    dekstopfolder = tmp.getPath();
            }That piece of code gives the path to the desktop folder in Windows. In linux it returns root. (getRoots();) How horrible.
    I hope I'm going about this the wrong way. Because this would be an ugly Java API.

    If your iPhone is not recognized by iTunes when connected - not available under Devices in the iTunes source list, check this link.

    For voice memos, I have include voice memos when syncing selected under the Music tab for my iPhone sync preferences with iTunes which transfers voice memos from my iPhone to my iTunes library when syncing.

  • I can't get my music to play in my itunes. It comes with a exclamation mark next to the song numbers and says that the original songs can't be played cause cant find the file. How do I get the songs back? (I found the files)

    I can't get my music to play in my itunes. It comes with a exclamation mark next to the song numbers and says that the original songs can't be played cause cant find the file. How do I get the songs back? (I found the files

    You get exclamation marks or dead tracks because  iTunes can’t find the file. This can happen for a number of reasons:
    The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
    The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
    The song file has been deleted
    The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible or the drive letter has changed.
    If you use an external drive, a change in drive letter is a common cause and you need to change it back.
    AS a way of working out what has happened, right click on a track and select the summary tab (you will have to go past an error message). The summary tab will tell you where iTunes thinks the track is located. How does that compare with where the track actually is?
    The xml library file is not used by iTunes, it is created to allow other programs to access the library. You can recreate the iTl file from the xml file, but there is no point if the location of the files is wrong.
    There is a simple way of getting you music back in iTunes, but it loses all playlists counts and rating. To do this drag iTunes library.itl and iTunes Library.xml to your desktop. Then open iTunes and an empty library is created. Add you iTunes Media folder to it.
    If you can't work out what went wrong and how to fix it, you may have to do this.

    Pay no attention to iinami, the amount of replies to people saying their handsets must have been jailbroken everytime iTunes throws out an error is tremendous. (Clearly you don't need to have any real knowledge to get to level 3 on these forums, let's hope apple's geniuses know a lot more than some of their customers.)

    Solution below.
    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

    I downloaded a .zip file. It ate up my space and i cant find the file. How can i get this file off my phone?

    Not possible. Safari won't download and save a Zip file. You either had to use a 3rd party app, or as wjosten suggests, your phone is jailbroken. If the former, you'll need to use that app to find it. If the latter, you'll have to look elsewhere for assistance.

    fixed by entering
