Mac drive icon does not appear

Have recently installed portable hard drive "Passport". I now do not have the Mac icon in the Time machine options. I have Bootcamp icon only. System does not update any longer. How do I get the Mac icon back or does the portable totally become my only option?

What do you mean by "installed" the passport?
Where, exactly, has the icon gone missing? Are you in System Preferences>Time Machine?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 AirPlay Mirroring is compatible with Mid 2011 and newer MacBooks Air, and OS X Mountain Lion.
    As you have Mac OS X Snow Leopard, you haven't got a compatible MacBook Air, so you can't use AirPlay Mirroring. However, you can use a third-party app as AirParrot to mirror the MacBook onto your Apple TV > http://www.airparrot.com

  • HT204053 The cloud icon does not appear in my macs system preferences.

    The cloud icon does not appear in my MacBookPro system preferences.  Any help?

    The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.2 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
    To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mountain Lion, provided it meets the requirements.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion are listed here:
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). (If you are currently pre-Snow Leopard you will have to upgrade to that to access the Mac App Store: it's available in the online Apple Store.)
    You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

  • Have a 10.6.8 mac and the icloud icon does not appear on the system preferences

    Hello,
    I have a 10.6.8 mac and the icloud icon does not appear on the system preference, even if I'ved upgraded the software.

    The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mavericks preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is now non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
    To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
    The requirements for Lion are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price (though it's reported to have been removed from sale in some countries so may well cease to be available generally) but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
    The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
    OS X v10.6.8 or later
    2GB of memory
    8GB of available space
      and the supported models are:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).

  • Bootcamp disk icon does not appear in the System Preferences/Startup Disk. Any help ideas ?

    Everything works fine but the Bootcamp disk icon does not appear in the System Preferences/Startup Disk.
    When I am in Win7 I am easily rebooting my iMac by right-clicking on the Bootcamp icon.
    When I am in Mac OS I wish to do same but that Bootcamp icon does not appear. Everytime I am restarting my iMac and pressing on the Option key to select the Windows disk.
    Does anyone have an idea how to adjust to bring the Bootcamp icon to the Startup Disk panel ?

    Use BootChamp instead; perhaps you have an NTFS 3rd party driver installed and has its own control panel.

  • 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 )

  • Try to update firefox--ownloads but ff icon does not appear, nor applications folder.

    Try to download firefox update.
    It downloads on my desktop with an icon that looks like my hard drive icon. No round ff icon, and application folder icon does not appear. What does this mean? What next? Mac OS 10.6.8

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    * Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

    I just verified that i have an early 2011 Macbook Pro and the airplay icon does not appear.  i also have a 2013 Macbook Pro which shows the airplay icon.  do i need to enable airplay on my early 2011 or is there an update that is needed?  Confused.

    To check your model go to About This Mac (by clicking on the Apple icon, top left) and then select more info. If you wish to use mirroring you will need one from 2011 or later running OSX 10.8 or later. The alternative would be to use 3rd party software like Airparrot.

  • Camera icon does not appear when use Google Image Search

    Hello,
    I am working on a much older macbook pro (2006) running OS 10.6.8 and Safari 5.1.10.
    Just the other day I reinstalled Safari, as some things appeared to not be working properly. However, there was nothing wrong with Google. SInce then, when I try to search by Google Image, the camera icon does not appear in the search bar. I have tried reinstalling Safari twice, but nothing changes. I have checked in Firefox and it shows up as expected.
    I have cleared the cache, deleted cookies, and cleared browser history. None of these steps have produced any changes.
    Also, I seem to have reverted to some earlier version of Google, since the search tools now appear on the top left, as show below.
    Can you please assist me in sorting this out so that Safari and Google perform as expected.
    Thank you very much.
    Val

    I posted that work around on the google forums and it actually came from the Apple forums from users 'Society Girl' and refined by 'spiza' from this thread.
    Google Reverted to Old Layout
    I called a friend at a tech magazine and he *cough* unofficially* cough* said via contacts it was a very deliberate move by Google... nothing to do with their upgrades or a hack coincidentally not working as a by product with old browsers.
    oh boy...
    'Google flushes out users of old browsers by serving up CLUNKY, AGED version of search'
    'Ad giant: Yeah, we did that deliberately'
    In a separate thread, as spotted by a Reg reader who brought this sorry affair to our attention, user MadFranko008 was able to show that even modern browsers - including the current version of Chrome - were apparently spitting out glitches on Apple Mac computers.
    Google then appeared to have resolved the search "bug" spotted in Chrome.
    http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/08/31/google_search_browser_support/
    and on the BBC website...
    Google 'discourages' users of old browsers
    Google has started showing old versions of its search page to people using out-of-date versions of some web browsers.
    The problem was most pronounced among those using variants of Safari 5.1 and Opera 12.
    A Google message posted to the forum said the change was made to "encourage" people to upgrade their browser

  • 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.

  • I have turned on home sharing but the house icon does not appear. Have read a blog that says it is not set up correctly am i missing something here?

    I had home tuning running fine on my mac. Since introducing apple tv the home sharing house icon is missing and will not allow me to drag and drop from home sharing. I have read other blogs that say if the house icon does not appear then home sharing is not set up correctly. Any suggestions as it seems to be running fine except for letting me move files.

    see if anything in this support article helps.

    I downloaded AirPlayIt yesterday from the app store.  It was on my iPad yesterday.  Today, however, the app icon does not appear on my home screen.  When I go into apps it is there but it doesn't have an "Open" choice.  There is only a cloud with an arrow pointing down.  When I click on the app it pops up but there is no open button.  How can I remove it?  Tapping it won't work as it isn't on my home screen.

    You'll have to contact the developer about this. Apple doesn't make this app;

  • Progress indicator icon does not appear in Sap Portal

    Hi experts.
    Currently, i Have developed a WD ABAP which contains a progress indicator icon. When I execute this WD from backend (R/3 via SE80) the Icon progress appears while the WD is recovering data, building structure, etc...
    The problem appears when I access to the scenary from SAP Portal, because from SAP Portal does not appear the Progress Icon. Someone can tell me why the icon is not appearing, and how Can i solve it???
    Thank in advance.
    Best regards

    Hi Thomas.
    First of all, thanks for your answer.
    My problem is that I can obtain a progress indicator icon (a circle moving) when I am inside of my Ivew, but I need to show this icon also in the first step, during the initialization. The initialization of my scenary is a hard process which spent a lot of time, and I wonder if is possible show a Process indicator Icon while all data are being recovery. This icon is showed when I run my webdynpro in the Backend, but this icon does not appears qhen the new Internet Explorer Windows is opened.
    Do you know how to show it???
    Thanks again.
