  • Apps in desktop are fine, can't open on laptop. Sign-in required and failed.

    I purchased the Adobe CC pack so that I could use it on both my computers (not at the same time) since I sometimes have to travel and use my laptop instead of my desktop. The apps only will only open on the desktop and not on my laptop. WHY IS THIS?! I can't seem to use them, the apps say I have to sign in, but I'm clearly online @ the CC window. Can anyone help me out?! Thanks in advance!

  • If Firefox is not the default browser is there anyway to create an "Open with Firefox" right click option for internet icons on the desktop??

    When internet icons on the desktop are right clicked and Firefox is not the default browser, is there anyway to create an "Open with Firefox" option in the right click menu? If not you should create one in future versions.

    You will have to create a copy of the Firefox desktop shortcut and add the URL to the target line if you want to open such an internet shortcut with Firefox.
    A normal internet shortcut will always open in the default browser.

  • How can I remove icons from the desktop on my iPad Mini?

    I understand that there are apps on my iPad that I cannot delete, but is there a way of removing an icon from the desktop?

    Remove, but not uninstall from the device?  Where would they go if you did that?
    Once you delete an App it gets removed form the homescreen, and deleted from the iPad.
    There is no "Less used Apps" area or anything like that.
    Everything you have, and you can access, is on the home screen. There is no other place to access Apps.

  • All the icons in the desktop, taskbar and start menu are messed up

    I installed Windows 7 5 days ago.   Somehow all the icons in the desktop, the taskbar and the start menu have been replaced by a notepad icon.  Additonally, When I click the Start button,  the captions for the different icons are like "calculator.lnk", "snipping tool.lnk", etc.  If I click on any of these options in the menu, instead of opening the application, it opens notepad.  As if notepad had become the default application for all the links.
    Why did this happen, and how can I work around it?   Looks like this is a nice bug to fix in SP1.

    Hi SnowflakeCoder,
    According to your problem description, it seems that the icon cache and the file associations are damaged.
    I suggest we perform the following troubleshooting suggestions to check the issue.
    Suggestion 1: Rebuild icon cache
    =========================
    1. Click “Start” and open “Computer”.
    2. Click “Organize” on the Tool bar, and choose “Folder and Search Options”.
    3. Then click the “View” tab, check to select the “Show hidden files and folders option”, and click “OK”.
    4. After that, enter the following directory and press Enter.
    %userprofile%\AppData\local
    5. Find the “IconCache.db” file, and rename it as “IconCache.db.old”.
    6. Close the window, and restart the computer.
    Suggestion 2: Restore the Start Menu via previous versions
    =========================
    1.    Click “Start” and open “Computer”.
    2.    Enter the following directory and press Enter.
    C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
    3. Right-click the “Programs” folder, and then click “Restore Previous Versions”.
    4. You'll see a list of available previous versions of the folder.
    5. Select a previous version of the file or folder you would to restore, click “Restore” button.
    6. Please click “Restore” if the window titled Previous Versions prompts.
    7. Please click “OK” when the file or the folder has been successfully restored to the previous version.
    8. Click “OK” again.
    If both suggestions cannot fix the issue, you may also try the System Restore which should be the easiest way to fix this issue.
    Suggestion 3: Run System Restore
    =========================
    1.  Click “Start”, type “System Restore” (without quotation marks) in the Search bar, and then click “System Restore” in the “Programs” list.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click “Continue”. 
    2.  In the “System Restore” dialog box, click “Choose a different restore point”, and then click “Next”. 
    3.  In the list of restore points, click a restore point that was created before you began to experience the issue, and then click “Next”. 
    4.  Click “Finish”.
    The computer restarts, and the system files and settings are returned to the state that they were in at the time that the restore point was created.
    Please check the result again.

  • When I click on Safari Icon it opens,but under the desktop picture.How can I get it on top of it?

    When I click on Safari Icon it opens,but under the Desktop picture.How can I get it on top,so I could see it?

    I would open a guest account and see if the problem persist in this new enviroment.
    Boot into Safe Boot Mode and see if the problem is present,  this turns off third party plug-in's and extentions.
    This will give us something to go on and recommend the next step.

    I'd say your sister messed up and your iPod is toasted.
    Think about it...  She plugged it in to another computer, she doesn't remember what she did (yeah, right), and now your iPod is not being recognized by your computer... 
    Also take into consideration how old is your sister, and how much does she know about electronics?

  • How do I delete an old version of card star when there is no icon on the desktop?

    I received a notice at the App Store that an update for Cardstar was available.   This is on my Gen 1 iPad running iOS 6.1.3.  I clicked the upgrade button but the progress bar never indicated progress.  Cardstar is listed in Settings, but there is no icon on the desktop.  I speculate that during an Cloud synch with my iPhone, that this alias now shows up on the iPad.  I tried shutting down.  Can't find any way to delete from Settings.  On the App Store it shows up as active on my list of needed updates.  There, the Cardstar icon shows the progress bar with no progress and the "Installing" button is grayed out.  I am sure that  I didnt install it on any of my devices other than my iPhone. 

    Thanks.  You are right...by the serial number it is a Gen 2.  There seems to be a solution to my problem on the Cardstar website. I will try that.
    Thanks again.

  • NO ICONS ON THE DESKTOP!

    hi everyone
    hoping someone can help . . .
    my mini mac has been fine for months - no problems, but today we had a power cut, and now when i turn it on, it takes ages and ages to get off the grey apple logo, then the screen comes up, with just the finder & dock, but there are no other icons on the desktop. The screen saver kicks in after 10 mins as normal, but i can't get any programs to open from the dock, and i cant see anything else.
    can anyone help please?

    Ange, Welcome to Apple discussions.
    Insert your Installer DVD and startup with the c key held. Release it when the spinning gear appears below the Apple logo.
    You will be presented with the Installer screen. Dont worry, choose your language and click "Continue".
    Choose Utilities > Disk Utility from the Menu Bar.
    Select your hard drive in the column on the left. Click "Repair" in the DU window at bottom right.
    Post back if DU reports problems that cannot be repaired, with details.
    If it says the disk is OK try to restart as normal. Should you still have problems, post again. We can take it from there.

  • What happens when the external icon jumps on top on the hard drive icon on the desktop?

    The external drive icon jumped to the hard drive icon on the desktop and after that happen the iMAC started running slow. Not sure how that happen or what is happening to the iMAC after it happen. All my applications are running and launching slow.  Also, when I tried moving files to the external drive I'll get a "error code -36". When I looked up the error message it says that the file is corrupted even though I could still open them. How can I fix this problem and not lose any files?  Thanks for any help.

    RRFS has probably got the answer basically - but the combined contents of the two drives has probably maxed out the drive space on Macintosh HD, meaning the OS can't use virtual memory properly.
    Open a Finder window and read the available space at the bottom.
    If you have copied the drive, it should show as a folder under Macintosh HD in the Finder.
    I hesitate to tell you to delete the whole folder as that may be too much for Finder to cope with. Open the folder and delete files and folders in small chunks, emptying the trash each time before doing the next..
    Meanwhile, if you go to the Finder preferences and uncheck the item for Hard Disks in the desktop list, then move the icon for the external away from that corner before re-enabling the Hard disk option.
    You may need to go to View options from the right-click menu on desktop and set 'arrange by' to 'none' in order to get the icon to stay where you want it.
