I LOST MY DESKTOP WITH MAPS ON MY IMAC

I was copying my music folder to an external HD, and on a certain moment i lost my orginal itunes settings with all my submaps, all music titles still oke but no submaps anymore. I lost also my desktop with all the maps and files wich were there. I only see on my desktop now the HDD of my imac.
In the finder i found the maps still under desktop icon, but when i want to bring them into my desktop it says:
the item can not be removed, due that the desktop can not be changed.....
UNDER FINDER: i find the icon desktop, on all my other mac computers it says bureaublad, as i am using dutch language, coule that be that he took a new desktop that he is not reconising . On my timemachine it speaks also of bureaublad instead of desktop.
Also when i want to reset from my timemachine, I njever see the orginal desktop info anymore, as my Itues subtitles can not been set back anymore;
Please help , what i need to do, to solve my problems.
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

Take these steps if the cursor changes from an arrow to a white "prohibited" symbol when you try to move an icon on the Desktop.
Sometimes the problem may be solved just by logging out or rebooting. Try that first, if you haven't already done it.
Select the icon of your home folder (a house) in the sidebar of a Finder window and open it. The Desktop folder is one of the subfolders. Select it and open the Info window. In the General section of the window, the Kind will be either Folderor something else, such as Anything.
If the Kind is Folder, uncheck the box marked Locked. Close the Info window and test.
If the Kind is not Folder, make sure the Locked box is not checked and that you have Read & Write privileges in the Sharing & Permissions section. Then close the Info window and do as follows.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
xattr -d com.apple.FinderInfo Desktop
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
If the problem is now resolved, and if you use iPhoto, also do as follows.
Quit iPhoto, if it's running, and relaunch it while holding down the option key. It will prompt you to select a library. Choose the one you want to use (not the Desktop.)

Is there a way to merge Mail account A on my desktop with Mail account A on a separate hard disk? I lost all my old messages in July, but they are on the hard disk. Thanks!

Is there a way to merge Mail account A on my desktop with Mail account A from separate hard disks? I lost all my old messages (thousands of them) in July, but most of them are safe elsewhere. I'd really like to put them all in one place, though!
The desktop (iMac) now has messages from July 2012 onward.
My separate hard disk backup has old messages up to June 2012.
Most of the ones between June and July are on a MacBook Pro which I bought about that time.
Is there a relatively easy and safe way to put these messages back together in Mail account A on my desktop again?
Many thanks!

Well, your profile info says 10.4.11, and you are posting your question in the iMac (PPC) category. If you are running Snow Leopard, it must be a fairly recent Intel iMac.
In that case, you should definitely post your question here
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.6_snow_leopard
where other Snow Leopard users can see your question. Restate the problem, what error messages you get, and what you have tried already (for trouble-shooting).

Please help-I was just informed I cant activate my CS software through Adobe?!!! What a pisser-I lost my desktop to a virus, I got a new one and refuse to ever go online with it. I put @Photoshop in, it wants an authorization code that Adobe says "CS is too old so please go to our forum for help"... So I am here Ladies and Gentlemen. I really need help on how to reactivate my software and without the use of the internet (last time I tried online, ended up doing over the phone which is no longer offered...) that cost me several hundred to begin with-I am upset @Adobe won't activate it-why? I don't know. But please, if someone out there knows what I can do to overcome this, I would be very grateful. Thank you for all help and taking the time to reply.
Peace, John Shea

it's your lucky day. you can upgrade to ps cs2 free.

Photosmart wireless B110 printer has lost its connection with my desktop PC.

My Photosmart wireless B110 printer has lost its connection with my desktop PC. I can still print from my laptop so I know the printer is working fine.
When I check ink levels through 'Printer Proerties' the message I get is 'The computer is unable to establish two-way communication with the device', so I guess this is a clue. I would appreciate any help you can give.
THank you.

Just as a preliminary step, we're going to go through a complete and clean uninstallation and reinstallation. First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it. Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer.
In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it.
Then follow this link to download the full feature software and drivers for the printer (be sure to select your correct OS):
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=4022343
Install that and let me know the result!
Have a great day!

"Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility." Trying to format my iomega external HD for use with Mac

Hi. Trying to connect iomega ext. HD. i have to reformat for Mac. When i plug in & go to Disk Utility,the external shows up and i'm supposed to click "partition". When i do, a box comes up saying ""Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility." I quit and relaunched, same results. After googling my question, i came up with this:
"Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility."
(Quitting and reopening Disk Utility does not help.)
The following also appears in Console log:
*** malloc[419]: Deallocation of a pointer not malloced: 0x290a410; This could be a double free(), or free() called with the middle of an allocated block; Try setting environment variable MallocHelp to see tools to help debug : for architecture i386 object: ./Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes malformed object (unknown flavor for flavor number 0 in LC_UNIXTHREAD command 27 can't byte swap it)
Workaround
Quit Disk Utility.
From the Finder's Go menu, choose Go to Folder....
Type the following, then click OK: /Library/Receipts
Temporarily remove these iTunes receipts from /Library/Receipts (sort the folder alphabetically as a list):
iTunes.pkg
iTunes4.pkg
You can put them on the desktop, for example. Do not remove iTunesX.pkg or iTunes Phone Driver.pkg.
Open Disk Utility and repair disk permissions again.
Quit Disk Utility.
Put the removed iTunes receipts back in /Library/Receipts.
Note: This issue does not affect Disk Utility's verify or repair disk features.
All seemed good, for a moment, until, upon going back to Disk Utility after removing itunes4.pkg and putting on desktop (i did not have itunes.pkg to remove) the same thing was happening. When i highlite my iomega ext. on left of page, disk perrmissions is grayed and does not allow me to click on it. Same problem from the start. Can somebody please help me out here? That would soooo awesome. Thanx!

i'm just scared i will do something wrong on my own and lose my data.
You shouldn't be scared of that, because you should already have backups. If you don't have backups, then backing up is the first priority.
Insert the Snow Leopard DVD and restart. When you hear the chime, hold down the C key and keep holding it until the Apple logo appears on the display. You should now see the language selection screen. Select your language, then choose Utilities > Disk Utility from the menu bar. In the Disk Utility window, select the external drive (not the internal). The drive may already have a data partition, in which case there will be another icon below the drive icon. Choose the drive icon, then select the Partition tab. Create a single partition with the default options (GUID partition table, Mac OS X Extended Journaled).
When the partitioning is done, select the startup volume on your internal drive in the DU window. Select the Restore tab. Drag the icon of the startup volume to the "Source" field. Then drag the icon of the newly-created volume on the external drive to the "Destination" field. Make sure you have this right. Then click the Restore button, and the data on your startup volume will be copied to the external drive.

Faxing from the desktop with a Photosmart C7280

I have several printers some of which allow me to fax directly from the desktop rather than having to scan it on the printer itself. When I install the C7280 it install the printer and it also created a second printer, "HP Photosmart C7200 series fax." I assumed that this worked like other printers and you just select it to print to when you want to send the document as a fax. No so.
As an example, I create a documetn in Word and then choose the HP Photosmart C7200 series fax to print and nothing happens.
Can this printer fax directly from the desktop?
Jim

Yes absolutely. I set it up last Fall and have been using it until last week, at whick time I lost wireless connectivity with router for no reason at all. I can not remember how to do it now and I am looking for the answer myself.
This link to an online chat on www.hp.com with a tech might help you.

I unfortunately upgraded my browser to IE8 last week and the chat support online does not support that browser. If you get an answer, I would appreciate it if you would post the answer on this thread so that I can re-learn it myself. Thanks. Good Luck.

Lost ability to access map after upgrade to Lightroom 4.2

403. That’s an error.
After upgrading to Lightroom 4.2, have lost ability to access maps. Suspect it may have something to do with client access. On one occasion got message.
Your client does not have permission to get URL/maps/api/js?sensor=false&v=3.6&callback=initial%20ize&region=ENfrom this server. That’s all we know.
However, have been unable to replicate this.

Any clues?

Hello Luiz
I'm so sorry you lost those features. Let's look into this. Which device do you have? Did you have the pictures backed up with an application?

What the heck is wrong with mapped instruments?!?

I'm working on scoring a piece I wrote for marching band. I used the orchestral percussion instrument included in L8. I need to work with mapped instruments so that the score for the percussion part is readable, instead of having the bass drum 8 ledger lines below the staff, the crash cymbal 8 above, etc.
Mapped instruments should let me do this, but I think there is a bug. I don't know, I've never done this before.
My bass drum is played on D0, so I've mapped that to the drum group "bass drum". However, when I add the "bass drum" voice to my score style, nothing shows up, just rests. Other drums groups I've created do show up, although not all pitches I've assigned to them (for instance, I have a snare drum roll and a snare drum hit both assigned to the "snare" drum group, but only the hits show up in my score.
***???

I see your point, you're looking at it from score to MIDI. instead of MIDI to score. Mapped instruments DON'T change the note that is played they change the designation on the left side of the hyper editor from a key # to a drum name.. And on page 435 they say it is ideal for custom drum kits.
Where I get lost, and it seem implied to me in the manual that these custom drum hyper sets could be displayed in Score format.. I have tried to make drum score styles, but I just get stuck.
Lately I have gotten into the practise of making full orchestral scores of songs (but doing pop music). I've found it extremely helpful in arranging to be able to see 6 - 10 tracks of instruments and exactly what they are doing in every measure. It's easier to thin things out, fix note conflicts, see where sections or phrases need doubling, re-inforcement, or cutting. Also by doing this, I already have things fully scored out, and I need to make use 'standard music and drum notation'.
You can't change any notes on the DRUM MIDI track , because BFD2 or Superior drums will not play the correct articulation anymore. BFD hats have 9 articulations (different midi note for each hit). Yet you want to still display those in standard drum score as two different note heads on the line of the staff. And a lot of the other kits have a lot of articulations also. The point of it for me was that I could look at the score and fix things from there as song was playing.. And a drummer could look at it and see an accurate drum representation of what the file is playing.
You can easily edit regular instruments from score page, by sliding bass notes, cutting out grace notes etc. But with the drums you have to go back to the midi edit page.. Looking at a drum performance on the piano roll is hard (it's spread out over 5 or 6 octaves). A lot of times they create variations by using a lot of different articulations.
I can easily detect kick, snare, hats, toms on the piano roll, but the alternate articulations are a B*tch. I often drag a lot of the BFD 1 bar MIDI loops into Logic, then arrange those into a performance. But then you need to sometimes go in and 'even out' the hats, or snare hits, etc. Trying to do it on the piano roll, is time consuming, and you want to make sure you don't have two kick notes playing at same time etc, when you are in the midst of cutting, dragging, and pasting sections, of drum data.
I do on occassion make individual one line percussion staves to show congas or exotic percussion. But in general I want to use standard drum notation (kick, snare, hats, cymbals and toms on one drum percussion staff)
Another great reason to understand and use Drum Hypersets, is that you could switch drums midstream. Say you start with BFD drums but then want to move over to Addictive Drums.
I thought it would be possible to create a drum Hyperset to accomodate that. I started to look into it but got too bogged down trying to work it out
If anyone else has worked this out, please jump in..

Using multiple desktops with a 4 finger swipe on a Mac Book Pro running Lion- is there a way that I can allow Safari open on several but not all?? Looks like I can set it for one but not others. All, one, or nothing

Using multiple desktops with a 4 finger swipe on a Mac Book Pro running Lion- is there a way that I can allow Safari open on several but not all?? Looks like I can set it for one but not others. All, one, or nothing

Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

Photosmart D7160 connected to desktop with Windows XP, issues with new laptop & network printing

We have a Photosmart D7160 connected to our desktop that runs Windows XP. I just got a new Acer laptop that runs Windows 7 (64bit). We set up a network to connect to the internet and so I can access documents that had been made on the desktop. I have not had issues using the printer off the desktop with any programs. I installed a creative program to create flyers, cards, etc onto the laptop. Same one as on the desktop. When trying to print off the laptop, I can not access the whole options on the printer. I forget the name of the options I want (maybe called printing preferences) but I would like to choose wether I am using the photo tray or presentation printing or economy printing, etc. I can only choose print. That is not good for printing cards, etc. I had made a recipe care template with that program and wanted to print one out.
What have I not done in setting up my laptop? I tried the to "add a printer" on a network and that did not fix my issue. Any help is appreciated. thanks.

Hi Bayratlj
Dunno if you've sorted your problem out, but I had exactly the same problem with a HP Photosmart 3100. I found some advice on http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6201674 regarding the firewall on the Mac and yes that is the problem. But as you'll see with my last post in that topic I cant figure out how to keep my firewall on AND have printer sharing. Just allowing printer sharing in the firewall settings is no help.
Cheers

Problem with maps on e72

Hi everyone
I've got a problem with maps on my E72.
I've seen advert that Nokia is going to let everyone use maps for free on selected models.
I was going to buy Sat Nav for whole Europe as I travel a lot and I was going to change my old N95. I thought I could do both in one new phone. Checked all the available models and chose E72. It said it;s got GPS and you don't need to use your network and spend fortune on internet connection. Got it from eBay for £270.
I installed Ovi Maps from internet and the first thing that surprised me was it had 'only' 7-8MB.
I thought that something was wrong, maps for 72 countries couldn't be 8MB big.
After some time I managed to set my e72 up. Put my Maps on and...
It takes loads of time to find GPS connection, but the worst thing is if I type lets say Paris it doesn't find anything. Map has wholes, like suddenly the roads end and there's nothing there.
My question is what am I doing wrong? Do I need to download something more? I didn't have any maps on my phone when I bought it. Where can I find them?
If someone could help I'd appreciate it.
Thanks a lot.

I forgot to mention that when I choose a destination it keeps saying Calculating route all the time. I waited about 15 minutesand it didn't calculate anything.

Problem with maps in Mavericks on iMac

I have a problem with my Maps on Mavericks.
I can open it just fine, no crash or whatever but the map itself just won't load, whatever mode it is on. Here is the screenshot of my Maps:
As you can see, it just stays blank all the time.
I'm also running Parallels 9 and don't know if that has something to do with problem.

Spent days trying various fixes, but this is the one that did it for me. Thanks!

4. Go to time zone tab and uncheck the box there too
5. Go back to date and time tab and now check the box "set date and time automatically"

How to add shortcuts to user Start Menu and Taskbar or Desktop with using Microsoft Office 2013 Config file.

Hello,
How can i add the shortcuts for Office 2013 feature (Word, excel, ext) to the users taskbar or desktop with using config.xml file while installing the Microsoft Office 2013 from SCCM?
I know how to do that with OCT, but i have another problem if i use OCT. So i have to do it with Config.file, but i don't know which code can i write on config.xml file to create shortcut on desktop or taskbar...
Regards,

Hi
There is a known issue about
changing the shortcut location for an Office 2013 application:
When you try to change the shortcut locations for Office 2013 applications in the Office Customization Tool (OCT), you receive the following error message:
Invalid start in folder. Please try again.
Then, you add the Start in location for Office 2013 and run a customized installation. When you double-click the shortcuts that are displayed on the desktop, Configure shortcuts does
not work and you receive the following error message:
Sorry, we couldn’t find your file. Is it possible it was moved, renamed or deleted?
To work around this issue, type a single open bracket ([) in the Start in
field.
In addition, refer to the link below on "Configure shortcuts" in OCT:
