Items not appearing on desktop

I am having problems with items not showing up on the desktop.
The main problem I am having is that I have a Moto Q Cell phone, which I use Missing Sync software with. It was mounting on the desktop and then stopped. Everything else works with it on my Mac. To make a long story short, I have written the company, they have looked at the logs and everything appears fine. So I am at a loss.
Then I started thinking about how I will download a program or file to the desktop and it does not appear. However, if I do a search, it shows it is there. The only way it will appear is for me, is to search for the file, then drag it onto the desktop from the search results.
So, my thought is it isn't the phone or the software, but a bug in the OS. Thinking back to pre OS X days, I used to rebuild the desktop. Is this still something that is available in OS X? It has been so long since I had to do that, I have forgotten how.
Any other ideas on what I might do to make sure things are appearing correctly on the desktop?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Randy, This sounds like two separate issues. For the cell phone to mount check in Finder preferences under the General Tab and select the items that you want to appear. Presumably the cell phone would be seen as a disk(?)
It should be seen as a disk, you are correct. However all three items are checked in the Finder preferences. I already checked that.
For downloaded files, that is a browser specific thing. If using Safari, open Safari Preferences, select the General Tab and against "Save Downloaded Files to..." choose Desktop. For other browsers there will be a similar setting in its Preferences.
Good luck,
Adrian
That isn't the problem. They ARE already set download to the desktop and are doing so. They are just not always appearing on the desktop as they should when downloaded. In other words. I should see them there after I have downloaded. But as I stated in my earlier post, the only way I can make them visible on my desktop is by searching for them, and dragging the found file (which IS LISTED as being on the desktop) onto my desktop again and then it appears.
Good try, but neither of these were solutions.

Calendar items not appearing in weekly view

I have a number of account on my Z10 including work email. The work email items are not appearing in the weekly view, just on a daily or monthly view.
Any ideas?

Hello pohlipit,
Thank you for your question regarding items not appearing in your Work Calendar under the Week view on your BlackBerry Z10 smartphone.
Are you able to see these entries under other views within the Calendar? Do the entries display with a lock on them or not at all? Is this account set up on a BlackBerry Enterprise Server with BlackBerry Balance?
Thank you.

Firefox runs in background (appear in Task Manager Processes Tab) only and does not appear on Desktop

I have been using Firefox on my Desktop PC with Windows XP for a long time. However, today possibly due to some virus (I attached an infected flash drive to my PC) a suspicious change in homepage (www.delta-homes.com) of my firefox occurred. Simultaneously an error message of "WinZip" appeared on screen. I figured that there must be some software in "C:\Program Files\" which is also causing problem to my firefox. I opened Program Files and removed that folder named WinZip. (Tried to uninstall it but it won't happen so I had to use "Unlocker" to kill processes this folder was associated with and then deleted the folder.)
From that point onward, My FireFox started to behave weird. Whenever I click on Firefox icon or access firefox.exe from any source (start menu, quick launch, program files, Run Command), it starts but appears only in "Task Manager Processes Tab". In that Processes Tab, firefox.exe is continuously using 50% of CPU but it does not appear on Desktop at all.
To go a step further, I uninstalled firefox and tried to re-download from Firefox official website but the download fails in the start saying "Download is interrupted". (See attached Image). So I downloaded a previous version of Firefox (v 34.0) from www.filehippo.com and installed it but the same problem is happening with this version too.
I am confused and surprised what might be causing this problem. Everything else on PC running fine. Kindly help me restore my Firefox so that I may not lose any precious Bookmarks, Settings and other Data. thanks

Start your '''Computer''' in safe mode. Then start Firefox. Try '''Safe''' web sites.

Bluetooth is neither detected nor working. In the system preferences under BLUETOOTH header it says "No information found". Bluetooth icon is not appearing on desktop either. Please help.

Yes....It happens all the time. I also erased my HD and installed Snow Leopard but with no success. Tried lots of REBOOTING but nothing worked for me.As I have already installed the new OSX I think there is no need to go through the below procedure. What do you suggest?
Before you go through the ritual of reinstalling the entire system just try to do a "factory reset" of your bluetooth environment. To do this you need to run the Bluetooth Explorer which is a utility installed as part of XCode.
1. Launch Bluetooth Explorer.
2. Select the "Modify Software & Device Configuration" from the Utilities menu.
3. Keep the first 4 checkboxes checked (one will say "Full factory reset").
4. Click "Perform actions" button (lower right of window).
5. Reboot (possibly the Reboot NOW button will work, if not just do a normal reboot).
Hopefully that will clear your problem(s) so you can re-pair your bluetooth devices.
Good luck.

ToDo Items Not Appearing In Published iCal Calendar

We are a group of homeschool, high school students using iCal together. We each have MobileMe and use it to publish our calendars. Some published calendars show the users todo list, some don't. We have checked to make sure that todo items are published. We have followed all the suggestions found at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iCal/2.0/en/wr20.html. But we can't get the todo items to appear. The problem can be duplicated repeatedly with the same users.

Firewire icon does not appear on desktop

My Firewire is connected and turned on but it's icon does not appear on desktop. I ran disk utility and the drive's icon appears there. I can run repair tests on it but not a permissions test. When I checked "Get Info" I noticed a line that reads "OWNER ENABLED: NO". What Can I do--I have a lot of important files on the drive and need to access them. I have also run 3rd party disk utilities that say the firewire drive and all files are 'ok' but still I am not able to access it in any way.

If disk utility sees the drive then you should be able to choose it from the list and click "Activate" (or "Mount" or whatever it says in English )

Iphone icon does not appear on desktop

iphone icon does not appear on desktop when plugged into my mac, so I can't select it to manage music via the sync method.

Lyssa - Thank you for your response. I thought that might be the case, but although there is a symbol in the upper right corner that reads "iPhone" the list of music is my entire iTunes list. I would like to update my music on the phone but can't seem to "see" what is currently there when plugged into my iMac. It all used to be so much easier and user friendly.

"Save As" or Downloaded file Icons not appearing on Desktop or FindeFolders

I've had this on-going problem for weeks now. I thought it was isolated to Microsoft Office tools, and now I'm not so sure. (When I would save attachments from MS Office to my Desktop, they would not appear.)
However, this morning I booted my machine brought up Safari and start surfing . Found a PDF I wanted to read, downloaded it, and no ICON. Spotlight says it's there, and I can open it from Spotlight, but the ICON is STILL not on my desktop.
When I've had this problem before, I could log out/log back in and all the Icons magically appear.
Anyone else having this issue?
This seemed to start having right after I applied the 10.4.10 update. Yes, I've repaired Permissions, etc.

Finder can sometimes be a real sluggard about updating folders, there used to be a nice contextual menu item called Nudge which would force it to update. Unfortunately it no longer works. I tried writing a simple Applescript to force Finder to update but I couldn't get that to work either. It seems especially prone to problems about updating the Desktop, which is one of a number of reasons I tend to not put stuff on the Desktop--I keep a couple of folders on the Desktop for the sorts of files one tends to drop there and put things into those folders instead. Rather than logging out/in you can force the Finder to relaunch, which generally does force an update of the Desktop and folder contents:
1. Hold down the option key and click on the Finder icon in the Dock
2. Select Relaunch from the menu
All open windows will be closed by this action, but at least you don't have to quit your programs. Takes about a second or so.

Vendor open items not appearing in F-44 for clearing

Four line items appearing a past due in the vendor account is not appearing during clearing in F-44. The other line items are appearing. Another finding is that these four line items pertain to previous fiscal year. Is there any setting/config that is disabling these previous yearu2019s line items to appear during clearing.
Thanks for your help
Regards
Prasanna

Hi,
Yes, I do agree with Ravi's comments.
Go to F110, choose the payment run by pressing F4.
There you might see some proposal with status as Proposal created. This means proposal has been created but no postings were made against that proposal.
So choose that proposal
Now go to menu item -Edit->Proposal-Delete...
After deleting the proposal, now try F-44.
This info might help you.
Thanks,

Cleared items not appearing When we click cleared items in T.code FBL3N

Hi all,
        We have prepared one ABAP program, to clear all open items for a particular GL account, company code, period, fiscalyear,
         When we run this program, the open items are clearing but not appearing in cleared items,
         Can any one help me out on this........
Appreciated with points...

Hi,
Check the cleared items in table BSIS, if the items are clearing then those items should appear in this table. Otherwise i doubt your program is not working?
Debug the program and check from which tables its selecting the data ie it should select the GL open items from table BSIS.

Dear Uday Kumar Narayanappa ,
I think as a consultant you have the say in deciding how the things should be mapped in SAP than the USER.
I dont find any reason other than having the same user id being shared between multiple users (and hence variant cannot be used).
Anyways try this.
Make a Z program copying VF04 .
Give the Tcode which is agreeable for the users.
In that Z program , write a code NOT TO CONSIDER documents of type ZNEW.
Now limit the authorisation of this new program only to those users who doesnt not want to deal with ZNEW.
Hope it helps.
Thanks & Regards,

IPod not appearing on desktop or in iTunes Library

My iPod will not appear on my desktop or in my iTunes library after launching iTunes and connecting the iPod to the computer. It shows up in Profiler, but no where else. My iPod is charged, the "Hold" switch is not on, I have updated iTunes, have restarted computer & iTunes, nothing is working. I borrowed a friends USB Cable connector and after plugging hers into my iPod and my computer, it appeared on my desktop like it should. So I bought a new cord, and now am still having the same problem. Any suggestions? I don't think I need to restore my iPod since using another cable worked.

Hello all, have an idea for you to try.. because you're right, if the i-pod is still charging, i'm sure it's not the cord that's messed up.. so the only thing i could think of is the USB port maybe.. so try connecting to a different USB port, if that doesn't work.. try this.
Try changing the drive letter, like this:
-have the iPod plugged in
-right click "my computer" on the desktop
-select manage
-go to "storage" and "disk management" underneath it (it's a branch of it)
-Your iPod should show up here
-right click on the drive that is the USB port with the iPod in it (it might be called just "mass storage device")
-select "change drive letter and paths"
-a menu will pop up. Select
change"
-Pick a new letter for this drive, one that is NOT YET used for any other drive, like Q or something
All this does is rename the USB port from "E" or whatever ot was to "Q", so it's not going to harm anything, and worth a try. If it didn't help, and you don't like Q, you can always change it back to E.
Hope this helps!

IPod nano does NOT appear on Desktop or iTunes

My mac gave me a message saying Itunes, and quicktime need to updated. I did so and my mac restarted. Afterwards my iPod Nano no longer appears on my desktop or in iTunes. (Actually my nano only appears when iTunes is closed.
When I remove my iPod Nano then there is a message saying a device was removed improperly.
