I have a ? on my FCP icon on the desktop. What's wrong?

Try deleting your fcp icon from the dock, then open up applications and drag fcp back into the dock. That usually works.

Why have I got 2 Safari icons on the desktop?

Hello
I don't know how this happened, but I now have 2 Safari icons in the dock (one is outlined by a square when clicked), but when my husband goes into his account, he can't get Safari and it doesn't show in the finder!
Can anybody advise, or will I have to get somebody out to look at this?
Thanks

not sure why it's there twice. just use your mouse to lift one of them up above the dock and it will "poof" and disappear.

I have lost my Hard Drive icon on my desktop. How do I get it back.

I have lost my Hard Drive icon on my desktop. How do I get it back.

Quick thing to try: from the Finder, select the View menu and then select "Clean Up" in case it has wandered somewhere almost off the desktop. Also, if it is "hiding" behind something, it will be revealed.

Mavericks strike two - now I have a Documents icon on the desktop *&^%$

Thank you Mavericks.
I was saving a photo in Photoshop and the pop-up save window showed "Documents" and I saved it there. I normally do that and later on I transfer those photos to other folders.
I closed Photoshop and noticed a new icon on the desktop called Documents. I diligently sent it to **** (to the trash) and when I tried to open the picture or any other file in Documents from within Favorites sidebar in Finder a window popped up saying the file could not be opened because it was in the trash.
I could see the Documents icon in Favorites and, within it, I could see all the files but could not open them.
I went to Trash and brought back Documents to the desktop. Only then could I open the files using Finder's Documents in Favorites.
I don't know where that Documents icon came from. Oh, and by the way my Photoshop folder in the sidebar's Favorites, just below Documents, vanished. I had to replace it.
I'm still dizzy from going back and forth with this blasted Mavericks, after having upgraded from Lion, with which I never had any issue.
I promised myself never again upgrade. Never. Not until this Mid-2011 27-incher crumbles from old age and I'm forced to buy a new one.
I just won't learn.

I have no clue as to what that is without more information. A colored icon, clear, anything inside of the round icon???
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
See if the icon goes away

It's a pre-installed app and therefore cannot be deleted so you may have inadvertently moved it onto a screen or into a folder, check the utilities folder as this is a common one for it to disappear into. Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the app it still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find it on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it. Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

I have recently lost my @ start icon in the dock. Not really sure what happened to it. How do I go about acquiring a new icon

I have recently lost my @ start icon in the dock. Not really sure what happened to it. How do I go about acquiring a new icon to place in the dock. Any all all tips are greatly appreciated. Not having icon - a real pain!!

Open http://www.apple.com/startpage/
from the address bar, pull this down to the right side of your Dock for your link.

I "upgraded" to FF5 and now have no refresh or stop icons in the menu bar, nor are they available on the "personalize" menu. How do I get them back?

Question

The idea is that the button on the end of the location gar is smart and changes between being a stop or a reload button. It is a stop button whilst loading and a reload button once loaded.
The buttons can be dragged off the customise menu, or if they are already on the toolbar they may be re-positioned, they combine depending on the order they are in, separate them or move them so they swap places, instead of docking with the location bar.

My MacBook Pro shows the "Macintosh HD" icon on the desktop but my MacBook Air does NOT have the icon on it's desktop. Is this normal? If not, how do I remount the MacBook Air disk icon on the desktop?

If so, then this is normal.

How can I remove icons from the desktop on my iPad Mini?

I understand that there are apps on my iPad that I cannot delete, but is there a way of removing an icon from the desktop?

Remove, but not uninstall from the device? Where would they go if you did that?
Once you delete an App it gets removed form the homescreen, and deleted from the iPad.
There is no "Less used Apps" area or anything like that.
Everything you have, and you can access, is on the home screen. There is no other place to access Apps.

What should I do about an odd icon on the desktop that appeared when I restored my iPhone?

I have an odd icon on the desktop that appeared when I restored the software in my iPhone, and I do not know what to do about the strange file. The scenario is as follows:
Recently I was having some problems with the proximity sensor on the iPhone, and I read that if one restored the software on the iPhone, this often allowed the sensor to be calibrated and it would work properly. Thus I synchronized (backed up) the iPhone and then wiped it out and reinstalled the software. At the point iTunes asked me did I want to restore the phone from a backup, I decided that since I did not to re-import any corrupted stuff from the old installation that might affect the operation of the proximity sensor, then I would start over and just set it up as a new phone. I was able to get what little I wanted of stuff otherwise from the iCloud and my music from iTunes, so everything seems to have gone fine.
However, now I have a file that has an image of a Lego-block with musical notes and an iPod on its sides that appeared on the desktop. The odd file is called "iPhone3,1_5.0_9A334_Restore.ipsw". What on earth is this all about???? When I search the internet, I see people who have jailbroken their iPhones talking about .ipsw files, but to the best of my knowledge, I have not done anything to jailbreak my iPhone, nor would I ever want to do such. Why did this file appear on my desktop? What is this file for for? Can I delete this file?
Thank you.

I forgot to mention also that when I tried to delete this icon, the trash eternally acted like it was emptyint the trash, but the progress bar was not progressing. I suppose that is because the file size is too large (812 MB).

NO ICONS ON THE DESKTOP!

hi everyone
hoping someone can help . . .
my mini mac has been fine for months - no problems, but today we had a power cut, and now when i turn it on, it takes ages and ages to get off the grey apple logo, then the screen comes up, with just the finder & dock, but there are no other icons on the desktop. The screen saver kicks in after 10 mins as normal, but i can't get any programs to open from the dock, and i cant see anything else.
can anyone help please?

Ange, Welcome to Apple discussions.
Insert your Installer DVD and startup with the c key held. Release it when the spinning gear appears below the Apple logo.
You will be presented with the Installer screen. Dont worry, choose your language and click "Continue".
Choose Utilities > Disk Utility from the Menu Bar.
Select your hard drive in the column on the left. Click "Repair" in the DU window at bottom right.
Post back if DU reports problems that cannot be repaired, with details.
If it says the disk is OK try to restart as normal. Should you still have problems, post again. We can take it from there.

Iphoto won't recognize my memory card anymore (since a month ish?) but the mac itself does and puts the icon on the desktop. How do I get it to recognize it again?

Thank you so much for responding. I will look for the other disks.
One more question - I initially decided to do this because my Mac kept opening with the date changed to 2008, and I keep having to re - enter my Web key. In addition, it was running much slower. Since I 'cleaned' everything out, I thought all would work perfect. This morning, the date changed to 2008; again AND it again asks for my Web key. Does this mean my Mac has reached it's almost end or could I have a 'bug' on it?
Again, thanks so much for your suggestions.

What happens when the external icon jumps on top on the hard drive icon on the desktop?

The external drive icon jumped to the hard drive icon on the desktop and after that happen the iMAC started running slow. Not sure how that happen or what is happening to the iMAC after it happen. All my applications are running and launching slow. Also, when I tried moving files to the external drive I'll get a "error code -36". When I looked up the error message it says that the file is corrupted even though I could still open them. How can I fix this problem and not lose any files? Thanks for any help.

RRFS has probably got the answer basically - but the combined contents of the two drives has probably maxed out the drive space on Macintosh HD, meaning the OS can't use virtual memory properly.
Open a Finder window and read the available space at the bottom.
If you have copied the drive, it should show as a folder under Macintosh HD in the Finder.
I hesitate to tell you to delete the whole folder as that may be too much for Finder to cope with. Open the folder and delete files and folders in small chunks, emptying the trash each time before doing the next..
Meanwhile, if you go to the Finder preferences and uncheck the item for Hard Disks in the desktop list, then move the icon for the external away from that corner before re-enabling the Hard disk option.
You may need to go to View options from the right-click menu on desktop and set 'arrange by' to 'none' in order to get the icon to stay where you want it.

Creating a network icon on the desktop?

Hi
I currently have the HD and idisk icons on my desktop but I need to get the network icon on there as well, so I can double click on it instead of having to click on go, then network.
Any ideas how I do this?
Thanks

Mount the networked volume.
Navigate to the network folder (Command-Shift-K)
Create an alias. This can be done several ways. But since you want to put the alias on your desktop, the easiest way is to
Command-Option-Drag the icon to the desktop
The Command-Opton-Drag will create an alias. Or you can use Finder -> File -> Make Alias, or you can select the mounted volume and use Command-L
Now when you double click on that alias, it will mount the networked volume.
You may store that alias anywhere you like, on the Dock, on your Desktop, in a folder of common aliases, and put that folder on the Dock, etc...
If you always want that volume mounted when you login, you can also open System Preferences -> Accounts -> Startup Items, then drag the mounted network volume into your Startup Items and when you login, it will be mounted.
