Macbook Icon under the device column is gone.

I accidentally poofed the Macbook icon under the device column, and I can't seem to find it. The Macbook also had "(2)" appended after it. Mine looked like this: "Zachary Lawrence's Macbook (2)"
How do I get that appended (2) to go away, and how do I get the icon back into my side bar?

-Click on the Finder icon in the dock.
-From the menu bar, select Finder->Preferences
-In the toolbar, click on the Sidebar tab.
-Check the box for "Hard Drives" under devices.

  • When I bootup the icon for Elements shows up in orange.  It changes to green only when I've gone to Finder and clicked on Elelments under the Devices list.  This is a recent development.  The icon used to be green upon bootup.  Does anyone know why ?

    I'm sorry to hear that.
    I'm not affiliated w/ the developer, just a happy user that gave up fighting the apple podcast app a while ago.  I used to have a bunch of smart playlists in itunes for my podcasts, and come home every day and pathologically synced my phone as soon as I walked in the door, and again before I walked out the door in the morning.
    Since my wife was doing this too, we were fighting over who's turn it was to sync their phone.
    Since I've switched to Downcast, I no longer worry about syncing my phone to itunes at all.  I can go weeks between syncs.
    Setup a "playlist" in downcast (ex., "Commute") and add podcasts to that playlist.  Add another playlist ("walk" or "workout") and add different podcasts to that one. 
    Set podcast priorities on a per-feed basis (ex., high priority for some daily news feeds, medium priority for some favorite podcasts, lower priority for other stuff).  Downcast will play the things in the priority you specify, and within that priority, it will play in date order (oldest to newest).
    Allegedly, it will also sync your play status to other devices, although that is not a feature I currently use and can't vouch for.  It uses apple's iCloud APIs, so to some extent may be limited by what Apple's APIs can do.

  • I want to sync my ipad to my mac comp.  It says to select ipad from under the device list.  I do not get a device list however on my screen

    I want to sync my ipad with my mac computer so I can import the data as a backup.  It says to select ipad from under the device coliumn, but I do not have that column showing.  What should I do?

    The Devices Headings is on the left gray sidebar of iTunes when iTunes is running on the computer and the iPad is connected. I am using a very old version of iTunes but the sidebar is still the sidebar.
    Here is a screenshot of the iTunes sidebar. I am at work and can't connect my iPad here but the Devices heading will be on the left side - under where it shows the Library, Store, Shared, etc.
    If you don't see the iPad listed there - it is not being recognized in iTunes. Maybe you should look through this for help if the device is not recognized.

  • Why are my iphone4S and ipad3 no longer being seen in finder under the devices section

    I am new to the Apple ecosystem and for the most part I have fallen in love with it, I have had my fill of the PC era and was on the verge of a mental breakdown using them. Well I bought a MBP 13" an ipad3 and I have an iPhone 4s. When I first got these items I was able to drag and drop files like a movie that I own and copied to the hard drive. This was done in finder, under the devices section it would show my phone and my ipad however after I installed the latest iTunes software it seems that this has disapeared and now I cannot find my devices in the finder area to drag and drop these files anymore. So, my question is this, has Apple done away with this function and if so how can I drag and drop a file to the ipad3 now? Thank you all for your help.

    Care to share which OS system you are using?

  • A Characteristci appears twice under the Rows Column on the left hand side.

    Hi All,
    According to the requirement , there are 2 Material Numbers ,1 of them is used for Compounding,which is not required in the Report,but as it is used for Compounding ,we need to place that in the rows.
    We have put tat in "NO DISPLAY" mode,but  Material Number appears twice under the Rows  column, on the left hand side of the screen, in the Portal when we execute the Report.How Can we have to display only 1 Material Number on the left hand side of the screen?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Sravani

    the left hand side of the screen is reakky vague....you should be more specific...
    Probably you need to filter out the compounding characteristics in the global filter area.
    Thanks...

  • I am wanting to import photos  from my imac to my ipad.  the help page directed me to open the photo button under the device listing on itunes.  There is not a photo button and I am connected to the computer.  It does show buttons for books, movies, etc.

    I want to import photos from iphoto to my ipad.  The help button said to press the photo button under the device list.  There isn't a photo button shown.  Could it be hidden?

    If you connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, on the right-hand side of iTunes (not on the left) there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders or albums/events to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.

  • How to bind a icon in the table column

    Hi All
        I have to bind a icon in a table column.

    Choose a table cell editor for that column that is able to display an icon, e.g. Caption, Image, LinkToAction
    Create a context attribute "iconURL" under the data source node of the table.
    Bind the corresponding property of the table cell editor, e.g. Image.source, to this attribute.
    At runtime, the data source node will have elements. Element at index i will be displayed in table row i.
    Set the "iconURL" attribute of each node element to the icon URL to be displayed in the table row.
    You can use the predefined icons by using an URL of the form "~sapicons/<icon_filename>", or you can put your icons inside folder src/mimes/components/<componentName> and use the filename as URL.

  • I have just installed ios6 and some of the icons on the front screen have gone, how do i get them back?

    Widgets are located in the folder, users/"user name"/library/widgets/
    Whilst holding down the option key in finder, and selecting the library under the "go" menu, you can access your library within Lion.
    If you have a working Time Machine backup, you can restore those missing files back to the widgets folder. If you don't, and your widgets folder is empty, then they are indeed gone (unless they are still in the trash). You would then have to re-download them from where they came.
    If everything is there, then just click the "+" symbol at the lower left corner of the dashboard screen to add them back to the window.
