Solved!
Go to Solution.
Hi and welcome to the forums!
From the home screen press the menu key twice, now all the icons are displayed,
press the menu key once more, do you have "show all" as an option? Select it.
Then look for the icon. Make sure you look in all folders as well.
Thanks

IPad 2 icons go missing from desktop on rotating basis
As stated, iPad 2 icons go missing from desktop on rotating basis. My iPad was new as of Xmas day. I have NOT synced to iTunes (I don't want to at this time) and I have NOT upgraded the software to iOS 5.0.1 (still on 5.0).
I have downloaded about twenty apps; five of which cost money from Apple's app store.
I don't get it. This is a new device that I have been using for less than ten days for only an hour or two a day; I don't believe new purchasers of iPads should be having to contend with icons going missing (icons take turns disappearing when swiping back and forth between the pages of app icons, the names of icons remain, however).
I have re-booted the iPad. At first the icons all reappear and all seems well until about an hour of usage of opening up various apps and using them, and then the problem re-appears. I have done this three times now, and have resorted to just contending with the problem as the apps will still launch and they run fine, it is just that the full icon doesn't appear (only the name of the app and a missing icon above the name of the app):
I am thinking the cause could be due to one of two problems/issues, but wonder what others' thoughts are.
1). Glitchy App. If it is due to a glitchy app (and does not Apple test these apps before giving the all -clear to be downloaded from the Apple app store?), how best to figure out which one it is?
2) Glitchy OS (iOS 5.0). If this is due to a glitchy 5.0 iOS, is there no other choice than to upgrade to 5.0.1? I really do not want to do that just yet unless it is necessary. [And if it is necessary, would Apple really release a glitchy iOS knowing ahead of time it had problems? Seems strange....]
Anyone got any ideas or have been experiencing the same issue (is it a known issue)?And if you restore as new, you can re download the apps for free as long as you are using the same apple id.
If it was a single bad app, you would have said so. If it was a common problem with the os, it would have been reported by a zillion users.
I think your os got corrupted. ( potentially from a bad app, or maybe just gremlins). It is a new machine, just start over. Reload the apps in small groups so that if it is a bad app, you can narrow the issue down. -
On turning on my MBP today I notice all the desktop icons were missing including the H/D icon.
The menu bar still displays correctly and the screen is correct.
How can I get back my desktop icons?
I've tried preferences, restarting, looking to see if this has occurred before on these forums without any luck.
I can still use my finder for apps etc. but none will appear on the desktop. not even using Aliases.
Any one out there who can offer advise?
AlanUpdated Tinkertool and in doing so must have checked the "disable desktop feature"
All is now OK

OS X 10.4.11 install or removal help - Desktop icons missing
I'm really frustrated by this upgrade install.
Did the automated version of upgrade 10.4.10 to 10.4.11, it took forever but finally completed. Automatic reboot, took forever. When it finally came back, all the desktop icons are missing. I can see them in a Finder window. I dloaded and installed the 10.4.11 combo for PPC at nearly 3 time the size (180 MB vs ~ 49MB), auto reboot and still the same thing, no desktop icons.
Much thank in advance for direction to fix or to revert back to the 10.4.10.
Cheers,

You can't download 10.4, & it can be expensive...

I just installed Lightroom 5. It will not open. I have clicked on the desktop icon as well as the start menu button with no results. What am I missing?
I had the same problem, and I believe it is caused by having the Creative Cloud application doing the updating of LR. I "fixed" the problem by:
1. Uninstall Lightroom
2. Download the stand-alone LR 5.6 installer from Product updates
3. Install LR 5.6 using the stand-alone installer, instead of using the Creative Cloud application. -
Desktop icons missing after wake up from sleep
I use my old Mac Pro with Lion installed controlled from my new Mac Pro in a setup with Apple Remote Desktop. Everytime the old Mac wakes up after a sleep all desktop icons is missing. I asume that they are "off screen". Further more all Finder dialogs will be hidden in the lower left corner of the screen and impossible to click on "ok" buttons.
I doesn't help to change the monitor resolution. I have been doing so many different things and been looking on the net for long time!
The old Mac runs Vienna Ensemble Pro and this app will not let you quit without "asking" again and again "do you want to quit" and so on. Finally I have to go to the computer room next to my studio and turn off the machine!!
Any hints to why this is happening and how to correct it is very much appreciated!In another Mac forum saying that after the 10.7.1 update, need to reset the PRAM to get this issue solved.

Gnome 3.4 Missing Desktop Icons
I've got the latest version of gnome 3.4 installed along with gnome-tweak-tool. In gnome-tweak-tool I've got Have the file manager handle the desktop set to on. However, when I log out and log back in again there are no icons until I fire up nautilus manually at which point it draws the desktop icons. How can I make it so that the icons are there when I log into gnome without having to fire up nautilus manually first please? Many thanks in advance.
I'm not really at home in Gnome 3, but here's my two cents:
Open dconf-editor (Alt+F2 and enter 'dconf-editor') and be sure 'org > gnome > desktop > background > show-desktop-icons' is checked...
If not, do so and restart the shell...
If it is already checked, I'm kinda out of inspiration... -
Missing desktop icon for Seagate 500GB FW external drive
I have recently lost my desktop icon for my Seagate 500GB FW external drive.... it there!!!! System profiler sees it, so does Disk Utilities and even my back up program will still back up to it. However no desktop icon to access it...What did I do or did not do HELP!!!
iMAC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1G RAMDid you ever figure this one out?
I have seen two external Seagate drives (FW, 500GB) stop mounting after about one use on a mac. Neither of them would show up under windows XP or 2000 afterwards.
I reformatted one, and am wondering if I'll need to do the same thing to the other.
Thanks for any info!

How can I avoid losing my customised desktop icon arrangement?
I have a lot of folder icons on my desktop arranged in a specific way. Recently when I shut down and then re-boot I find all the desktop icons have been re-arranged. This is a real pain! How can I prevent this from happeining?
I've been using Mac computers for many years and have never had this problem.
iHopeDid I miss something?
Looks like it! Let me repeat what I wrote:
"The issue in that case concerned the dock, and a corrupt preference. The solution was to delete the 'com.apple.dock.plist' from the Preferences folder in the Library, then log out/in."
"Given the issue in my case concerns the desktop, (NOT THE DOCK!) should I do the same with the 'com.apple.desktop.plist' in the Preferences folder?" In other words, do you think deleting the 'com.apple.desktop.plist' might fix the desktop issue?
Your reply - "Haven't a clue. Why deleting the Dock plist file fixed the Desktop issue worked is beyond my ken" - suggests you didn't understand the question, right?
iHope
