Is there way to get to desktop through mini-icon or set icon without closing all open screens with XP professional?

I want to be able to go directly to desktop at times. Can a mini-icon be installed or is there a direct link already on the firefox screen?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

1. Press Windows key+D
2. You should have a "Show Desktop" icon in your Quick Lauch toolbar next to the "Start" button. Sometimes the "Show Desktop" icon goes missing according to some, but I have never experienced that.

    I need to know how to get my desktop (mac mini) laptop (mac book pro) iPhone4S & ipad all sharing the same iCloud... I have four deveices...  I\iPad & iPhone are synced to the mini, but the laptop is the main one.

    First, your Macs must have OS X Lion, and your devices iOS 5. Then, go to your devices and open Settings > iCloud to configure the same Apple ID. In your computers, go to System Preferences > iCloud and set up iCloud with the Apple ID

    thanks for the reply.  guess i'll have to do that.  apple, not really happy with what you've done with this latest update.  have not been able to enjoy my music in my car since the update.  most of us dont mind changes that progress timely, but this was much more than just a progression.  this was a complete change.  and not a good one, at all.  thanks to the two people that replied.  appreciate it.

    I'm a little fuzzy on your question.
    If you are trying to "Bounce" and email, I regret to inform you that Apple removed that feature a few years ago.  There are other email programs available that have this capability.

    There are no free ways to do it that I have seen. However, Reflector is reasonably priced. http://www.airsquirrels.com/reflector/

    The banner usually indicates that the memo is "Paused." If you go back into voice memos, touch the word "Done" beside the big red pause button, give it a name, then it will show in a list. Touch the memo in the list then touch the trash can icon that should appear.

    Hi katmango24,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I'm sorry to hear that the computer died and the iPod was lost.
    For music that was purchased from the iTunes Store, you can use the steps in this article to download it again:

  • Is there any way to get my playlists back, or do I need to create them all again?

    Just installed iTunes on HP Envy running windows 8.1 and downloaded my music from external drive. On my previous device I had my music sorted into playlists. Is there any way to get my playlists back, or do I need to create them all again?

    Hi there msc74,
    If you still have access to your previous computer, the easiest way to accomplish this is to transfer the iTunes library to your new device. Take a look at the article below for more information.

    If your phone is not covered by the warranty anymore, Apple will replace it for a new device, same model and size, if you are willing to pay the service fee.
    If you decide to get a 3rd party company to do the repair, Apple will not service your phone anymore after that.
    Out-of-warranty repair service
    If your repair isn’t covered by Apple’s One Year Limited Warranty, AppleCare+, or AppleCare Protection Plan, your iPhone might be eligible for out-of-warranty service. For example, liquid damage isn’t covered by warranty but might be eligible for out-of-warranty service. Some damage isn’t eligible at all, for example if your device has been broken into multiple pieces. See Apple’s Repair Terms and Conditions for complete details.

  • Iphone 4s coming friday, what is the best way to get the notes content from iphone 4 to 4s without doing a restore? i want the new phone to be totally new but not sure how to get notes content across.

    What is the best way to get the notes content from iphone 4 to 4s without doing a restore? i want the new phone to be totally new but not sure how to get notes content across. If I do a restore as I have when previously from one iphone to another it has shown (in settings, usage) the cumulative usage from previous phones so all the hours of calls on all previous iphones will be displayed even though its brand new. Anyone know how I can get my notes (from standard iphone notes app) to my new iphone 4s without restoring from previous iphone 4. Thanks for any help offered.

    First, if you haven't updated to iTunes 10.5, please update now as you will need it for the iPhone 4S and iOS 5.
    Once you're done installing iTunes 10.5, open it. Connect your iPhone to iTunes using the USB cable. Once your iPhone pops up right click on it. For example: an iPhone will appear and it will say "Ryan's iPhone."
    Right click on it and select "Backup" from the dropdown menu. It will start backing up. This should backup your notes.
    Please tell me if you have any problems with backing up.
    Once you backup and get your iPhone 4S, you must follow these steps. If you don't follow these steps, you will not be able to get your notes on your new iPhone 4S.
    Open up iTunes again then right click on your device (iPhone 4S). Once you do you will see a dropdown menu. It will say "Restore from Backup..." Select this and it'll ask for a backup, select it from the dropdown menu. For example "Ryan's iPhone - October 12, 2011." Pick that and it will restore to your backup. Do this when you get your iPhone 4S so you will not lose anything. Even though you're restoring, you're getting back, since you're getting the previous settings, notes, contacts, mail and other settings from your old iPhone. You'll still have Siri though! So, restore when you first get it. Also frequently backup your device, as it will be worth it. You can restore from a backup if something goes wrong or save your data for a future update.
    Once you do that, you should have your notes on your new iPhone 4S and iOS 5.
    Please tell me if you need any help.
    I hoped I answered your questions and solved your problem!

  • Is there a way to change fixed width Flat file connection manager to delimited without losing all the column names ?

    Is there a way to change fixed width Flat file connection manager to delimited without losing all the column names ?

    Unfortunately not as it is a quite dramatic change causing the metadata being refreshed. I would try to open though the package file in a text editor and find them before doing the change, then after you made the change to the FF connector try to reconstitute
    / replace the autimatically generated columns with the old names.

    You are talking about the menu bar of Itunes, right?
    Yes. With iTunes open the menu bar is at the top of your screen.
    where exactly is the Store/synck you iphone option?
    After you authorize the computer connect your iPhone then follow the instructions here > iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
    When you are done transferring the data to the desktop, right or control click the iPhone under Devices left side of the iTunes window then click Back Up.
    That way you will have a backup just in case you need to restore your iPhone.

    I suspect if you're trying to open a file in 08 that's been opened in 09 the file has been updated to 09 and will not open in 08.

  • Lost my music, is there any way to get it back through "previous itunes library" file?

    About a 2 months ago I had to update my iTunes library, leading to this mess. The update told me that it didn't finish and that there was an error, so I had to reinstall all of my itunes. This led to all my songs having an exclamation point next to them. I didn't know how to get the music to each file so I got frustrated and deleted them. Then I found all of my songs and dragged them into itunes. Now, all my play counts, date of purchases, playlists, ratings, etc. are gone!! I noticed that there are "previous itunes libraries", one of which is from a couple days before all this happened. Is there ANY way at all that I can revert back to that file and it will have my playlists, play counts, etc.? ANY help will be greatly appreciated!!!

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy (not good), then you can transfer from an ipod:  File>Transfer Purcahses
    You buy one and only one download.  it is your responsibility to move copy/backup your purchases.
