I have Lion, how to create shortcut of my computer and hard disk .. drag method is not working

I have a macbook pro, 10.7.1. I would like to setup shortcut to harddisk and my computer, so if i connect portable devices like pen drive it should display in desktop.

You don't need a shortcut. Finder>Preferences>General. Check the boxes.

  • When I want to select multiple files in a row, the click shift method and the click drag method is not working. Is there a setting I need to change and if so how?

    My click then shift+click will not select the multiple files, Is there a setting to change somewhere?

    Click and shift works for me, so this is not a Mavericks bug.
    Try deleting any finder.plist files and restarting.
    To do that, click the desktop so Finder is active, then click on Go in the menu bar. In the dropdown select Library. In that folder look for Preferences. In the Preferences folder there will be at least two files whose names start com.apple.finder.....
    Trash them all and restart.

  • HT1557 I have lion installed on my mac.  My desktop and screensaver, in system preferences, will not load.  Everything else, seems to be okay.  Any suggestions?

    I have Lion installed on my mac.  My desktop and screensaver, in system preferences will not load.  I have to Force close it, after it's been open.  I know that I
    can change my desktop pic, by clicking "change my desktop, but I would like to understand what made it freeze up like that.  All I get is that thing that looks like a piece of candy.  From there, it does nothing.  The rest of the system preferences work fine.  It's like its caught in a loop of some kind.  I would appreciate any help that I can get.  Thanks.

    Since you are still under the Apple warranty, please give Apple tech support a call (before your 90 day phone support expires, if you did not buy the APP yet...) If the problem is more than just a simple software glitch, they will be able to fix it right away for you...

  • How to create custom images c.war, similar to i.war.  --context not working

    ORDS beta 3.0..65.09.31
    I am trying to create a custom images c.war file, similar to the way one creates the i.war file for the APEX satic images.
    The directions say:
    java -jar ords.war static [--context] <location>
    Options:
               [--context]           The context path at which the
                                     WAR will be deployed,
                                     defaults to: /i
    Arguments:
               <location>            The location where the Oracle
                                     Application Express static
                                     resources are stored
    but I have yet to find any combination of syntax that will give me a war that maps to /c instead of /i, the default.
    For example:
    C:\oracle\ords3.0.0.65.09.31>java -jar ords.war static --context /c   C:\oracle\custom_htmldb
    WAR Generation complete
    WAR location     : C:\oracle\ords3.0.0.65.09.31\i.war
    Context path     : /i
    Static resources : C:\oracle\custom_htmldb
    Ensure the static resources are available at path: C:\oracle\custom_htmldb
    on the server where the WAR is deployed
    and
    C:\oracle\ords3.0.0.65.09.31>java -jar ords.war static --/c   C:\oracle\custom_ht
    mldb
    java -jar ords.war static [--context] <location>
    Options:
               [--context]           The context path at which the
                                     WAR will be deployed,
                                     defaults to: /i
    Arguments:
               <location>            The location where the Oracle
                                     Application Express static
                                     resources are stored
    --/c is not a valid option
    and variations using quotes and single quotes - all result in the same, either /i gets mapped or I get the directions again/
    This has to be something really simple.
    Please help!
    Thank you

  • HT4623 I updated my ipad and boom! It is asking for a password to get in!  I have never had a password before on my ipad ~ and my apple id password does not work and I do not want to change it!

    Help!
    I updated to 07 and now my ipad is asking me for a password!  I have never had a password ~ help ~ and my apple id is not working

    You don't HAVE to put that passcode in. If you look closely you'll see the option to skip it. That's what I did for my touch.

  • Hi, i have downloaded peppa pig series using itunes, and have tried to sync them to my Ipad Mini and IPhone 5, however it is not working it states "videos from your Itunes libary can not be copied to 'ipad' because they can not be played on this Ipad.

    I have downloaded Peppa Pig series using Itunes and have tried to sync the tv programme to both my Ipad Mini and IPhone 5.  However neither work saying that 'videos from Itunes Libary can not be copied to 'ipad' because they can not be played on this I Pad.  I have downloaded the HD episodes is this my problem or do i need to download a 'video watching' app?  Please help we are going away next week and the episodes were to help keep my toodler occupied on the plane.  thank you

    The error you received kinda looks like the one in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4223
    But the iPhone 5 and the iPad mini should support HD videos. 
    What I would try is downloading the movies directly to your iPad mini or your iPhone.  You will want to do this when connected to Wi-Fi, but you can follow these steps in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    I hope that helps!

  • TS1630 Hi I have a problem with my iPhone 4S,  I have no sound from my speaker ,keyboard or notifications ,  and my volume control buttons are not working is anyone experiencing this? Any help would be great full, also I have reset the iPhone many times.

    Hi I have a problem with my iPhone 4S I have no sound from my speaker , keyboard, notifications.   or volume controls,  I have reset my iphone many times and still the same, any advise will be greatful
    Thanks

    I don't think that a software update from Apple will solve the issues that you are having. You have a rogue installation. After you posted I have just done the following:
    Disk Utility can verify  my partitioned Volume (including my boot disk) AND REPAIR the non-boot disks on the same Volume without a glitch. It repairs the non-boot disks containing data smoothly.
    I have used Mail to send some mails from some Yahoo and Hotmail accounts to my Thunderbird client containing GMail accounts - absolutely normal.
    I have iLife '09 but my iMovie '09 and iPhoto '09 open in a jiffy and I see no issues here. I have 6GB RAM (Maximum) on an early 2008 Macbook Pro with a 750GB hard drive partitioned with 120GB reserved for the Boot Drive.
    I am sorry that I cannot help further but I am sure there must be a way to reinstall the software without having to revert to restoring your ML backup. I have two clones and if you have such I would attempt to do that through that rather than through Time Machine - that is of course if you have a cloned drive.
    Good luck!

  • My TC was working good until I unplugged it,and when I tried to plug it in again there was no light at all but I can still hear and feel that it does have power,I did do soft and hard reset but it's not working?any ideas?!

    TC with no light but still making sound ,no network.

    Unfortunately, you are likely describing an internal power supply issue on the TC.
    The power supply has enough power to start up the hard drive.....that is the sound that you hear....but it is having problems starting up the router portion of the TC.
    Try powering off the Time Capsule for 30 minutes or so, then try the start up again.
    If you have the same issue, unfortunately the TC will likely need to be replaced since Apple does not offer repairs on Time Capsules.
    If the TC is in warranty, take it to an Apple Store to let them have a look or contact Apple Support directly....Contact Apple for support and service
    If the TC is out of warranty, but you have AppleCare in effect on one of your Macs, the TC might be covered as well. The rules are complex, so discuss with Apple.
    If you can locate the model number on the bottom of the TC......starts with an "A" followed by four numbers......we may be able to provide a bit more info.

    how to create shortcut for Ethernet enable and disable

    and it is has no internet disconnection option

    Hi,
    Here is the command you can write to the batch:
    To disable the interface, you'd then run:
    netsh interface set interface name="Local Area Connection” admin=DISABLED
    To enable the interface, you'd then run:
    netsh interface set interface name=“Local Area Connection” admin=ENABLED
    Note to find your  network interface, you can run
    netsh interface show interface command.

  • How to create shortcut desktop icon for all users???

    Hello All,
    I want to know how to create shortcut icon for all users in windows 7. I tried C:\Users\Public but no folder for Desktop.
    Thanks

    C:\users\All users
    JS
    Hi,
    I am just wondering, what is the technically correct location to place say, a shortcut, for all users to access on their desktops on a given machine?
    Is it C:\Users\Public\Desktop ?
    Or is it C:\Users\All Users\Desktop ?
    Would it also be possible to explain the differences as well? Or paste some links to the overview of each one? I am having trouble finding anything from MS.
    Thank you.

  • How do I print in B&W now that I have lion? The whole "open in preview" method is not working. Thanks

    What kind of printer do you have? Have you looked at their PDEs to see if there are any settings for color/b&w?

  • I am going to buy a bigger hard drive. i am operating on Lion. how do i install my os on the new disk? i can't use time machine.

    i am going to buy a bigger hard drive. i am operating on Lion. how do i install my os on the new disk? i can't use time machine.

    Plug this new drive as an external drive, boot from lion recovery "command-R" more info here: http://www.apple.com/macosx/recovery/
    Open disk utility, format and partition the disk at your will (allways Mac OS plus...) and go ahead with the install, don't care if it tells you to whait thousands of hours, I did get installed in 2 hours and a half last week.
    If you can't plug the disk as an external one, you'll have first to do an USB disk recovery utility, as easy as download the recovery utility and install it in an USB disk, you can find anything from the link above, plug the disk as a single master, and boot from the USB you created before.
    Tell me how it went!!!
