Laptop PC does not show up in Sidebar

How can I get the PC laptop to show up in the sidebar? I thought that was supposed to happen automatically?

I started up my virtual machine in VMware fusion and it also does not show up in the sidebar. It is strange since it showed up last time it ran. So did my neighbors computer.

  • I connect my iPad to my PC and open iTunes, but the iPad does not show up in sidebar.  I want to sync. How do I do it?

    I have my PC on, then plug in my iPad (which is on) and open iTunes.  The iPad does not show up in the sidebar.  How do you get it to show up so that I can select the iPad and then configure the sync settings in each of the settings panes....hoping that these actually show up.
    In the manual it says "log in to your computer user account before connecting iPad".  I am the only user of this PC...does this mean some other user account.  I am confused.  I need "baby steps" to tell me how to do all this....very senior and just learning about this wonderful machine. I will very much appreciate your help.

    If you are the only user on your computer you probably don't have multiple user accounts set up and can disregard that.  If you are using iTunes 11 go to View>Show Sidebar.  Now see if your iPad appears under Devices on the left side when you connect it.  If it does, click on the name of your iPad on the left side and your iTunes sync settings options will appear in folders with tabbed headings to the right.
    If it doesn't appear on the left side, follow the troubleshooting steps shown in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.

  • Every time I launch Firefox 4 it opens 3 or 4 blank windows, no longer opens the tabs from the previous session and does not show my bookmarks sidebar.

    I have to manually close the extra windows and restore the tabs from the previous session, and reopen the sidebar. In disgust I uninstalled Firefox 4 and reinstalled 3.6. Everything works fine in 3.6. Looks to me like Firefox 4 has many major bugs and is not yet ready for prime time. I'll stay with 3.6 for now.

    This can be a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
    You will have to redo App Tabs and Tab Groups after deleting sessionstore.js.

  • Firefox downloads but does not install on my Win7 64 bit laptop and does not show any files in the software list of programs installed.

    I have installed and uninstalled several times with no success. I had a previous version installed in April 10 but it will not reinstall or run. This problem started about a month ago, in early July.

  • Mac to XP. Windows not showing up in Sidebar. And mystery computer.

    Hello. I'm trying to establish a small connection between my Mac and my mothers PC, she often have problems with it, and it is low on HD space, so I thought I could use my Mac as a storage kind of thing.
    Anyhow, the PC does not show up in sidebar, and I can't connect using Go > Connect to Server > smb://192.168.1.3
    I don't know why.
    One computer is listed under shared, it is called joellundborfc48, and I have no idea what it is.
    The PC connects to my Mac just fine, but not the other way, sadly.
    My router is a Mici Broadband Router model KN-S1060.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Trying to connect via ethernet LAN, no wireless here.

  • I purchased an hp external cd drive, how can i boot from it? setup does not show it being connected

    When i connect the external drive it is being connect to a usb port.  When i go into the setup of the laptop it does not show an external drive being connected to the usb port.  My cd drive that came with the laptop does work, i tried it in my laptop, but on my daughters machine the cd drive is not being shown on the computer or in Device manager.  I upgrade out laptops from windows vista 32 to windows 7. The drive was working and one day my daughter went to go burn a cd and thats when we found out it is not showing on the computer. Her p/n is FE653UA#ABA - dv6910US.  I tried everything to get the drive to show up on the computer but had no luck, that is why i purchased an external drive. The drive i purchased is an HP 8x external dlim muliformat dvd/cd writer.
    I now need to figure out how I can boot from this external drive, can  anyone help me?

    Hi lindaasw,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Do you have the latest version of iTunes for Windows installed?  I would turn on the sidebar and the menu bar just to make sure you are seeing everything.  If the iPhone is still not recognized in iTunes, follow these troubleshooting steps:

    Yes it is done through iTunes. The iPhone will never show up in Finder as a device. The following is general information on iTunes sync: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386 and the following is a previous discussion where the post by Andreas Junge helped others that had a problem syncing audiobooks: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20052732#20052732

    Hi,
    Follow the procedure on the link below to create a bootable Ubuntu CD and follow the steps in Part 3 to 'Try it' to see if this OS will run from the CD without the need to install on your HDD.  This will show whether the problem is with Windows or a Hardware problem with the optical drive.

  • Hp 15-r033tx laptop does not show the Nvidia chipset information and only uses Intel HD graphics

    My Hp 15 r033tx laptop has windows 8 64 bit installed in it and as it comes with NVidia Ge Force 820 M 2GB graphics card  , I have also installed Nvidia and Intel HD Graphic Drivers but in the dxdiag selection it does not list the Nvidia Chipset and information but only lists Intel HD Graphics with 1786 MB.
    Also it does not show any Dedicated Video Ram that is normally showing in my other friends desktop with Nvidia Graphics properly installed
