Missing one HD icon in Sidebar and Computer icon

So, I installed a 4th HD in my Mac Pro running 10.4.9 today, all went well and that drive works, but now the icon for the main boot drive is not showing in the finder Sidebar, or even under the "Computer" icon if I click that. It shows up and verifies permissions fine in Disk Utility, just no icon.
I have tried trashing finder.plist and sidebar.plist, no help.
Any ideas?

Sounds like you've been bit by the Invisibility bug. Take a look at the article I wrote on the subject:
http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/invisible.html
Several ways to bring the drive back to the visible world are given, the Applescript fix is fairly easy.

Removing Desktop and Computer Icons in Finder Windows

I have 25 eMacs at a school and I want to remove the Desktop and Computer icons in the Finder so students cant access the Library or other folders.
I went under Finder Preferences and checked off HD, Computer, Desktop and others, but they still appear. I'm using Simple Finder with access to only My Applications, Documents and a Shared folder. That is all I want them to see or access.
Any ideas?? Thanks for the time and affort!!
Dave

If you only provide them access to the mentioned folders, then everything else is read-only. Although they may be able to see the files and folders they will not have access to them. That's the role of permissions.
As for displaying the HD, Computer, Desktop, etc. you need to disable those in each account.

Three 5th gen nanos. One NOT recognized by itunes and computer; other 2 fine.

I have 3 daughters and three 5th gen nanos. I use the same cord, plug and computer, and one is not being recognized by itunes or computer and will not charge; other 2 fine. Something wrong with just the one. Resetting (pressing menu and center until apple appears?) doesn't work. One daughter very SAD. Please help if you can.
Oh, and I've also put it in disk mode. Still not recognized.

I think I found the problem, and it may be useful to others. I cosely looked at the dock connector next to the earphone jack and found that it has a chip in it. Not good news for Gen 5 ipod nano's. Apparently, the connector is bonded to the logic board. I did find that if I gently put pressure on it in one directio or the other, it will make a connection.
Must break the bad news to daughter. Sad face.

Scale Sidebars and tool icons PSE 12

I´m using PSE 12. Is it possible to scale the sidebars and the tool icons? These are much too large compared to my workspace.

You can use a floating workspace rather than tabbed documents. It’s then possible to drag out the bottom right corner and cover the tool panel.
To setup go to the menu:
Edit >> Preferences >> General
Put a checkmark in the box to allow floating documents in expert mode.

Settings and computer icons are the only ones showing

ATV 3
I used it just fine all day yesterday, and now as I try to watch Netflix, it didn't work. I tried to reset through the menu system, and when it came back on the only two icons showing were Settings and Computers. I tried to reset through the menu system again. No change. I tried unplugging the device and plugging it back in. No change.

Nevermind. Even though it showed that it was connected to the WiFi network, I reset the connection.
Settings > General > Network > WiFi > click on your network name > Forget Network
Settings > General > Network > WiFi > click on your network name then type in credentials.

How (and why) would one backup both to iCloud and computer?

First iPhone 4s; I use Windows 7 computer. While it is very convenient to have phone automatically backup to iCloud - given my early experiences with Apple and the sync of iPhone via iTunes hanging on the last step and never completing and I had to restore phone to factory settings - I am reluctant to trust backup only to iCloud. iCloud backup would come in very handy a) when traveling and perhaps not having the external drives I use for backups; and especially b) in case disaster hits iPhone and I need to restore.
Backup to computer is under my control, and it is easier to make multiple copies and store as much history of backups as I choose. In addition, I believe that iCloud does not backup everything. In additon to it NOT backing up music unless it was purchased from iStore, what else does it NOT back up?
So for the above reasons I am planning on automatically backing up to iCloud, AND backing up to computer weekly as well as prior to any software update, or other major thing I might do to phone. I'd rather have too many backups as insurance than not enough. It seems that it is less convenient to backup to computer, unless there is something I am missing. It seems that the steps are:
1) Open iTunes; connect iPhone via USB.
2) When it is recognized, on Summary tab move check mark from backup to iCloud to backup to Computer; click apply.
3) Eject iPhone; unplug USB.
4) Close and restart iTunes; connect iPhone via USB
5) Now iTunes will create backup file.
6) In my case I make copy of this backup file from C:\Users\Name\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup to where I want to keep history.
7) In iPhone now must turn back on backup to iCloud
Is there an easier way (set of steps) to backup automatically to iCloud, AND also make manual backup to computer?
Can I "force" iTunes to store computer backups to a different location than is shown in step 6?
Does iTunes automatically delete/over write earlier backups to computer? How much history does it keep? Am I correct that if I rename the backup file by pre-pending it with say "iPhone_" that iTunes would never delete/overwrite it?
Are there other reasons for taking the time to backup to both iCloud and to computer?
Thanks for cutting my learning curve on the important though often neglected issue of backup protection.

My iPad wont switch on.Get Apple icon then itunes and cable icons appear

For approx a week,whilst viewing/surfing internet, ipad has switched itself back to Home Screen.,yesterday the Home screen froze so I decided to switch the ipad off and on. Unfortunately, it wouldnt switch back on, it loaded up to Apple icon, then after a few seconds, screen changed and itunes logo appeared and underneath was a picture of connector cable with an arrow pointing to itunes logo? have tried connecting the ipad by cable to laptop but other than ipad syncing with itunes, nothing is happening re ipad restarting.
Would appreciate any advice/help but have to say, Im a real technophobe!

YOU ARE IN RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

I have two Apple accounts the one on my I phone and computer are the same the one on my mini i pad is different I have credit on my mini i pad however, when I purchase an App or movie I am charged on my credit card and the $40:00 worth of I Tune cards is by passed I have tried to change the mini i pad account details to be the same as my computer and original apple i.d.account however, it will not allow me to do I have tried to reset the mini i pad but not all the way to factory otherwise I would loose all my data. I have visited a genuis bench at Fountain gate however, they tell me I need to ring apple support which I will do on the next working day.

You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

10.7.5 and disappearing icons

Further to my previous question on missing tool bar icons ( finder, mail, safari and so forth ) I restarted in 10.7.4 and everything is back to normal . Guess I'll stay away from the ".5 " for now.

Both the Finder sidebar and toolbar icons are present after a 10.7.5 combo update applied to 10.7.4. But I do miss the color icons of Snow Leopard.

My dad's ipad 2 is glitchy. The icons are small, and some have no design. The dock is gone, and when I unlocked portrait orientation, it won't turn

I was just checking fb when suddenly i accidentally pressed this app about this battery thing. Now some icons are small, and some icons have no design
There is no dock, and when I unlocked portrait orientation, it didn't turn. I turned it off and on about many times, and the play, fast forward, and reverse button are overlapping. ITS SO GLITCHY!

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

Good news: I found a solution.
Start iTunes, remove all your voice memos from your library (back them up if you need them), quit iTunes. Restart Finder. Done. I hope that helps!

On one user account: finder blinks and icons missing

I have 2 user accounts on our iMac G5. One account works fine and the other is messed up (Finder blinks repeatedly at startup, and many icons are missing)... Disk Utility found a couple things to repair, but no improvement.
Aside from deleting and recreating the account, any other steps? What else should I look for or be aware of?

Just make sure that whatever you put on the account is not corrupted, check to make sure it works on your main account before transferring.
