I need help recovering the DOWNLOAD ICON from the side bar thing

i don't know how but the download was gone from the side bar one day, i guess my parents did something accidentally and took it off. But i don't know. is there any way for me to get that icon back on the side bar?

To your other post - where is the home folder - - it's the little house in the Finder sidebar with your username after it.

but the download folder is completely gone from everywhere
it only pops up a window when i download something
That is not the downloads directory - that's the Safari local Downloads window. Not the same
Now, are you saying that the real Downloads directory has been removed - deleted?
Click on that home folder - the house icon and look carefully for a Downloads Folder. It should look like this:
If you do not see it, perhaps it was moved.
In the Finder search window, enter downloads. Select "This Mac" and "File Name" and see if it pops up.
If not, do you have a backup? TM or something else?
If not, we can create a new Downloads folder but alas, everything in the original is gone.

    Help I have 'lost' my downloads icon from the dock on my desktop Mac. Can I retrieve it? If so please describe how, using simple terms. I have tried searching folders, finder and trash

    Your Downloads folder should be in your Home folder. Just drag it to the Dock.
    If you've managed to delete it, try creating a new folder called 'Downloads'. You will probably need to nominate it in Safari or any other browser preferences as your download destination. (Safari Preferences>General, 'Save downloaded items to:' menu)

    After syncing my itunes from my computer to my iphone4, the download icon at the top of my phone will not stop. It appears at all times as though I am in the middle of a download, but it is not connected to anything. 

    This is from a 4S with iOS 7 running iTunes Match:

    IS THE SITUATION HOPELESS
    I used Target mode to transfer files to a new i7  iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 from an older Dual core Intel machine (EMC 2105) also on 10.6.8. but originally Tiger 10.4. The operation was successful and I ejected the disk icon from the new machine and powered down the old machine. When this was restarted the next day there was a grey screen with flashing Mac symbol alternating with a 'no entry' sign and occasionally a question mark.Keyboard and mouse were unusable so k inserted the original instal disc (No.1 for 10.4. with installer 1.0.4) which came with the machine in 2006 in an attempt to boot from this. The ensuing window said this was not possible and now it cannot be ejected.I have tried everything ! It offers Disk Utility and other options like Terminal but that doesn't work either.I 'repaired disk' and that was pronounced o.k. None of the various keystrokes at start up will work, and the computer will only offer the installer disc continually.The only option would seem to be is to erase the hard drive completely from the disc in the machine.I don't want to do this as there is still material which I need to recover. I think the drive has in some way been corrupted by using it in target mode, and I don't know if there are any other options to try.
              Please tell me how to get this disc to eject !

    Have you seen this type of problem before? I think it could be a serious issue for anyone in a similar position.
    No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
    TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
    •  I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
    There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
    On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
    I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
    I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
    With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

  • How Can I Remove the Finder Icon From the Dock?

    Hi! Can someone tell me how to remove the Finder icon from the dock? I don't even care if Finder quits. I just want it removed from the dock. I really don't care if I can't get to my files. Please help.

    Start by going to your core services, (/system/library/coreservices). You can do this by pressing Shift+Cmd+G and then paste (/system/library/coreservices), without parentheses.
    After doing this, find Dock.app, right click, show package contents. This doesn't contain the icons on your dock, just finder and trash.
    After that, move all finder services to the desktop, and then erase them from the core services folder. At this point it will prompt you to put in your password, do so.
    Next you'll want to open terminal and type 'killall dock' or, you could restart your computer.
    This should remove the finder icon from your dock, while still giving you access to it from your desktop.
    Hope this helps!

  • Desktop icon for a file on network shows blank in Windows 8.1, if selected the second icon from the library

    Hello, 
    I have a strange issue on my Windows 8.1 machine. The icon for for an executable file on the network shows blank, if I select the second icon from the library. (File->Properties->Change Icon and select the second icon - This file has two icons)
    If I re-create the IconCache.db, then it is showing correctly. But I do not want to do this every time. 
    Regards
    Mattehw

    It indicates your Icon Cache is corrupted and you need to rebuild it.
    Open the command prompt window, type each of the following and after every command, hit the Enter button:
    cd /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
    attrib –h IconCache.db
    del IconCache.db
    start explorer

  • How do I remove the Skype icon from the desktop that is on my left on the taskbar ?

    Greetings to all, I have a Windows 7. 64--bit with SP--1. I have been unable, by searching, to find a way to remove the Skype icon from the desktop. It is on my left on the taskbar. Do I need to remove it in the registry ? If yes, how ? Thank you Ldxrunner

    Hi,
    Are you trying to remove Skype entirely, or just get rid of the tool tray icon?
    IIRC, you get that icon as long as Skype is running in the background.  There's a checkbox in Skype options that will keep it from running on startup.  That will eliminate the icon but you won't get notified for incoming calls.

     Take it somewhere that has better broadband. The best you can do sometimes is invest in new modem that works with your system instead of the rental etc in most cases.
    Do a Safe Boot.
    Make sure your firewall is set properly. Don't use 3rd party. AV software can get in the way.
    Make sure you are getting the service and a clean strong modem signal - slow is one thing but if it drops off and can't maintain a connection you have hardware issues, not software - and upgrade to a new OS doesn't tend to improve, it may even not work with older networking equipment once you do get it.
     I agree and think electronic only goes too far. And when you do get it: burn the package and manually set it aside first before running the intaller! make a flash memory installer, put it on DVDs too.

    You can turn it off via Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Picture Frame , but only if you have a passcode set - if you don't use a passcode lock, then you can't turn picture frame off (the option will be greyed out)
