Icons (camera, ipod) stay on desktop even after item is removed

This may be a very basic Apple proble, as I am fairly new to the Apple world and this is the first time this has happened.
When I last plugged my digital camera in to download pictures, the folder "No Name" appeared, but after removing the camera, the icon has stayed on my desktop and I can't get rid of it.
Also, I have plugged my wife's iShuffle in 3 times doing stuff, so now there are 3 "iPod" folder icons on the desktop as well... one for every time I plugged it in.
I have used these in the past without this problem. I may have unplugged them without using the "eject" feature first, if that helps any. Any ideas?

It does help.
Before unplugging/disconnecting a digital camera or an iPod from the computer, you need to eject the mounted drive first - no different as required before disconnecting an external hard drive from your Mac. If you don't, you should receive a warning message indicating damage can (or may have been) caused to the disconnected drive.
If you have done so, this is not an Apple problem but a user error problem.
Without the camera or iPod connected to the computer, have you tried a computer restart?

    I contracted Security Tool the same way about ten minutes ago on my Win7 Home Premium laptop. Firefox prompted me to do an immediate update the way it normally does, with a convincing update screen that looks like the typical Mozilla update prompt. However, the installer I downloaded was in fact "Security Tool." The program firewalls Firefox to prevent searches and also prevents access to Task Manager via Ctrl-Alt-Del. On the surface this appears to be a particularly nasty strain of malware / scamware, and FF users need to be warned and/or innoculated immediately.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • My ipod touch still freezing even after restoring it

    plz i need help....my ipod touch still freezing even after restoring it...plz send me email to [email protected]

    If you did not restore to factory defaults/new iPod do that. If yuo are still having problem then an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. You likely have a hardware problem.
    You are not addressing Apple here. We are just users like yourself.

  • HT1351 My I Pod is not showing the Podcasts I have downloaded on the library section in my itunes and also on the Ipod but is showing in the spome 3000 plus eposides in the sync section but will not show on Ipod or Library section even after syncing pleas

    My Ipod is Classic is not showing any podcasts which I have downloads either on the library within itunes or on the ipod but is showing in the syncing section some 3300 plus podcasts but even after syncing they are noty showing on the library or on the Ipod am missing a step here as I have ticked all before syncing ??
    Is this a software failure ?

    I have sorted it myself!!
    Ipod is now in the top right corner, last time I clicked on it, it ejected it but by clicking on the actual ipod icon then it brings up your ipod. I restored it to factory settings and synced all my music and it now works again. Hope this can help anyone who ends up with the same problem.

  • Camera on 5s is frozen even after reset any ideas? Thx

    My camera is frozen on my iPhone 5s even after resetting...any ideas?  Thx

    That is NOT unfreezing it for me. It returns to home page now after about thirty seconds of total freeze (worsened from last night).
    And now some really strange things are adding to it, like when waking and sliding to unlock, the tab is sticking for several seconds to the right before opening home page. Nobody seems to know whether apps are saved in sync for easy load following a restore. (??)
    Edit to add: when I try the hard reset, it simply prompts whether I want to shut down, so I guess yes, it does finally help to exit the frozen shutter, though as I said, it releases after about thirty seconds.
    One more edit: I turned my iphone off and restarted it to find, knock on wood, that the camera's working now. Will see where it goes from here.

  • Hold Camera Button to Unlock Bug even after updati...

    Even after updating, the hold camera button to unlock feature doesn't reliably work on the Nokia Lumia 900.  What gives, why is this still broken?

    This seems to be a problem with all Lumia 900s at this time...
    I visited an AT&T and Microsoft Store and inquired about this problem.  Every Nokia Lumia 900 on display and even the store employees own phones exibited the "works when it feels like it" camera button problem. The store employees had no explanation for it.
    Through my own fiddling with it I found the only way to get the camera button to work every time is to press the power button first to wake up the phone, then press the camera button. It is a pretty easy work-around.
    I also found that if you press the camera button slow enough to feel both clicks, or press the camera button twice quickly that can work too, but not all the time...
    As far as I know Nokia has not acklowledged this problem yet but I hope they will soon and that a software update will correct it.

  • Ipod stays like 'charging' even when unplugged

    hi, guys, the problem is my ipod stayed like it was still conected charging, the battery logo in the screen shows a plug inside always just like when it's charging, and when i put it to sleep, it just shows the big green battery and says Fully Charged.

  • Retrieval time unchanged even after extra dimensions removed from ASO app

    We have an ASO application on which HFR reports are running. The application has 18 dimensions. The HFR reports running were taking a long time to get generated so we created a duplicate of that application and removed 5 dimensions which were not being used. Even after running the reports out of the duplicate application the generation time has not reduced.
    Please advice.

    Do you know how the report generation time relates to the Essbase query time (check the Essbase application log)? It might be that you're doing a lot of work on the FR side.
    If the problem really is on the ASO side, did the number of input data cells and / or key length change significantly when you removed the dimensions? If not, removing dimensions (which I am assuming were not referenced in the report in the first place) might not get you very much in terms of query performance. Have you created any aggregate views on the ASO cube?
    If you have a particular 'problem' report it's possible to use query tracking to create some aggregations directly to support that one query, particularly if the report always retrieves at the same level in each dimension.
