If you have upgraded to Mavericks, then it sounds like maybe a Notification Alert without a Banner.

    Accidentally copied microsoft word icon  to desk top.   Now program will not work. Error message says cannot be opened because of problem. How do I re-install ?

    Drag the Word icon back to where it belongs.
    Applications > Microsoft Office 2011 > Put Word there.
    I'm assuming you have Office 2011. If you have 2008 there should be a similar location to put Word.

  • Deleted stack icon on desk top

    I am going to sound really stupid. My stack icon on the desk top disappeared with a little smoke cloud, how do i get it back?

    Go to Finder and then drag the icon back down to the dock. You cannot delete items from within the Stacks view. You have to go to Finder and then find the folder you want to delete the file from and delete it from there.

  • Shuffled icons on desk top.  How reverse?

    Hit option and command keys then 2 to open full page ilnternet screen.  Forgot I wasn't in Safari and the icons on my desk top scrambled.  Can I reverse this action with key strokes?

    If you drag a link or favicon on the left end of the location bar onto the desktop to create an internet shortcut then that shortcut gets the icon of the default browser.
    If you want a different icon (favicon) then you have to assign that icon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties).
    You can usually get the favicon if you append "favicon.ico" to the main domain of a website (e.g. http://www.mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder or see if you can find it in "Tools > Page Info > Media".

  • All of a sudden I am not able to reposition icons on desk  top by dragging. Why?

    I have always been able to reposition items  e.g. folders on my desktop. Suddenly I am not able  to move them. Why?.. Mountain Lion , OSX 10.8.5.
    Thank you

    Hello tufo,
    It may be that your Desktop view options are set to sort icons on your desk.
    You can change the size of icons, arrange them in a grid, and set other preferences for items on your desktop by changing the view options on your desktop. To change your desktop view options, click the desktop, and then choose View > Show View Options from menu bar. You can try the different settings to see which ones you like—you will immediately see the effects of your changes.

  • How to get search sites icons on desk top, not firefox's

  • Main start-up drive icon on desk-top

    Getting up and running on my new mac-pro - probably a silly question but here goes:- the drive name has disappeared from the main start-up drive icon on my desktop. Don't know why as I've not touched disk utility since formatting my three new drives and have been using FCP for editing for a month now. Great system! Any help as to what happened would be much appreciated. Thanks. timod.

    Select the drive icon, press COMMAND-I to open Get Info window. In Name and Extensions section enter "Macintosh HD" without quotes, then close window.

  • How do i set up icons on desk top to link to websites please?

    at present i use start, programs, excel, for example

    You can drag the favicon on the left end of the location bar onto the desktop to create a shortcut.<br />
    If you create an internet shortcut that way then that shortcut gets the icon of the default browser.<br />
    If you want a different icon (favicon) then you have to assign that icon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties).<br />
    You can usually get the favicon if you append "favicon.ico" to the main domain of a website (e.g. http://www.mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder or see if you can find it in "Tools > Page Info > Media".

    Read FAQ's but did not see how I was to proceed to restore the data in the Old FireFox Data folder on my desktop. It should hold all of my bookmarks, passwords and other data that I would like to recover into this new install of FireFox.

    Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; '''Old Firefox?'''

  • My start button and desk top menu keep relocating themselves to top, and sides, How do I get them back on the botom of the page and keep them there?

    When I initialize my start up, and my home page loads, my start button, short cut icons, and desk top menu will move from the bottom where I prefer them, to the top, or left and tight sides, which shortens my home page, or any site I go to. How do I lock them in to the bottom and keep them there. This has just started in the past 2 weeks.

    Drag the Taskbar with the Start button to the wanted position and right click that bar the lock it to prevent accidental moving it.

    You cannot revert back to a previous iOS version.
    Of the apps you've mentioned, here are their sizes my iPhone 5 under iOS 8.1.2 as reported under Settings/General/Usage/Manage Storage:
    Podcasts: 8.4 MB
    iBooks: 1.1 MB
    Health: 148 KB
    I'm curious where you got the values of "approx 350 Mb each"? These apps are now embedded into iOS and AFAIK, their app sizes are not reported as user-downloaded apps are.
