My Mac OS X Disk is showing all Icons ?

Good morning All my Disky are showing all the Icons that are present ! How can I hide these Icons again that I don,t need to see ?

Try this solution to get SetFile:
You can just download the latest CLI tools for XCode here. Select the package for your OS X version. I just downloaded the November Mountain Lion XCode tools, and app setflag is included.
You would use it as discussed in: Hide any File or Folder by making it Invisible to the Mac OS X Finder.

Set "always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar" via Group policy

Any ideas on how to set "always show all icons and notifications on the taskbar" on a set of users?
I thought it would be under User Configuration\Administrative Templates\Start Menu and Taskbar, but I cannot find it.
Anyone know if this can be enforced via policy?

Hello,
Thank you for your post here.
Unfortunately, there is not any group policy settings which can set "always show all icons and notifications on the
taskbar".
To distribute the setting, you can create a default domain user profile and copy it to the following network share.
When the domain user account is first logged onto the domain, the default profile will be applied.
\\<Server_name>\NETLOGON\Default User.v2
How to customize default user profiles in Windows 7 and in Windows Server 2008 R2

This would only apply if a new profile is created, not for existing ones.

1 more time: I installed Samsung 840EVO SSD and tried to clone the OEM drive to it. Disk Utility shows all files landed in the new SSD thru the USB to SATA converter cable yet my Mac won't boot. Why's that?

The question is why won't my Mac boot with the new 840EVO SSD that I thought I'd successfully cloned all contents from the OEM hard drive by using a USB to SATA converter cable. Disk Utility seemed to indicate the SSD had captured everything from the OEM drive. Note the OEM had 2 partitions to run Parallels Windows XP

XP is not supported externally or if you install Mavericks, and Microsoft is trying their hardest t o get people off that old tin can, rightly so.
Usually Carbon Copy Cloner will. Usally. DU is not really meant to and you had 4 partitions before.
This forum is not for MacBook Pro btw.
Cloning with DU or CCC may do a perfect job but not be bootable if t he interface or case is not.
The EVO is capable of 500MB/sec so even your mid-2010 MBP is not going to get the top performance but should be better once you swap it out than what you were using.

Time Machine - Browse other Time Machine disk - not showing all files

I have an Xserve, running 10.6 server, where we keep all of our files. It backs up via Time Machine. Many users use the shared drives on the Xserve, and I encourage them to put their files there. We work in a design / production house, so many people collaborate on files. Due to the nature of the business, with frequent design changes, we need to go "back in time" and pull out previous versions of designs, etc. Usually I handle this by remotely accessing the Xserve, starting up time machine, and pulling out the old versions of files from the backups.
However, when I'm not in, I wanted to make this option available to another user, without giving her full access to the server. I discovered the "Browse Other Time Machine" option, and after making my Time Machine disk (actually a rack-mount Mercury Pro RAID array) shared, I was able to mount it on her Mac, also running 10.6. I thought this would be a nice solution.
The problem is, in some directories, when browsing from her computer, Time machine is showing no backups. It's impossible to go back more than a few snapshots with it. Meanwhile, if I do it on the server, everything is fine. So I thought perhaps it was a permissions issue, but I don't want to muck up the permissions on my time machine drive and risk losing everything. I did add her account as a user with read-only access to the time machine drive, and told it to apply to all sub folders. This didn't make any difference.
What is the issue? Is it permissions? Or is my Time Machine too large (6TB) that it can't load all the data over the network? Has anyone encountered this before? What is the best way to troubleshoot?

If you still have the old imac connect tbe two with an ethernet cable and use migration assistant. Move your data to a new Mac - Apple Support

Awesome systray is not showing all icons, perhaps overlapping widgets?

I have a problem with my Awesome configuration that results in some of the icons being missing or partially missing from my systray. I suspect this is because of some overlapping, since they are partially hidden. You can see the problem in the top right corner.

First of all, did you check the wiki and forums? We'll help you, but you have to try to fix it yourself first.
You will need to provide more info if you want help.
Did you set up Gnome to force fallback mode?
Did you look at the Gnome wiki article? There's a few sections that sound like what your looking to do, but the examples are USING OTHER WM's. They still might be able to point you in the right direction.

PC Suite not showing all icons

I have the s/ware installed on my old laptop and use it to connect to the internet via GPRS, both DKU-2 cable & Bluetooth. I installed the same version from a CD on my new laptop (XP home, SP2) but do not see the icon to connect to the internet. In addition there was another icon missing for 'Store Images' and I think there was another difference - I don't see 'Manage Connection' but instead I saw something about modem settings. (not sure as I've uninstalled it)
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no other (i.e LAN) internet connection available at Vodafone's suggestion.
I've tried installing a new version but that fails - appears to be corrupt in Data1.Cab so it fails if I run it directly or save it locally and then run it.
It's a 6230i on Vodafone.

I now notice several differences in the icons so the version I've installed from CD is not the version I have installed on the old laptop. That one is 6.6.16 and the CD one is 6.41.6 so presumably if I can hold of a new version that might sort things out?

How to stop showing "All Mail" of GMail in archive?

I've configured GMail in Mac Mail application. It shows all the mails (GMail's All Mail labled mails) in Archieve. This is required as I've accidently deleted all the mails of gmail by deleting mails of archive.
Thanks,
Haresh

Is there a long wait from when I change this in Gmail settings to see the All Mail in my Apple Mail disappear?
Will it disappear?

How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility

How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility?
Last night i was using my external hard drive, for some reason the folder just closed and i couldn't find it on my desktop.
After googling solutions, i found it in the disk utilities, i clicked on the 'repair' button many times, but it said the 'error...' message.
So i ejected it to try again, now when i connect the USB external hard drive it doesn't show up on my desktop or disk utilities.
I really just want to either repair or recover the data on it because it literally has everything (documents, work files, photos etc) on it,
I downloaded an application to recover my files but it needs the USB to at least show up.recognise it which mine doesn't.
I know i should've backed it up on another USB, this definitely teaches me for next time to back up all my files.
Are the files lost forever or can i recover them by going to a shop or using a software?

Thank you for responding.
This might sound stupid since i'm not really knowledgeable with Macs,
but since all my files were moved from my mac computer to the external hard drive,
is it possible to recover those files through my Mac - like recovering deleted files?

Cannot print pdf on my mac 10.9.4 shows all types of error

I can't print at all, it shows all kinds of errors, some say "no page was selected" if is a PDF from internet , when is from a down laod say error document cannot be printed and it quits by itself, say internal error and shuts down acrobat or it says go to acrobat and sign the agreement (which I did already 100 times) I downloaded version 11.0.07, I don't know if this is the problem, I went to apple store, they told me contact acrobat cus it was them, and I called hp to reset printer, they said it was acrobat reader.

Do you have at least 4 GBs of RAM installed and at least 20 GBs of free space on your hard drive.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Doesn't sound like any hard drive failure to me - more a Finder preference.

The startup disk is sometimes treated differently from other disks (such as external and network disks) and I'm guessing this is a simple preference setting, although I might be wrong.

I am just frustrated because I want to stream all this stuff vice haveing to waiting for it all to download fill up my Mac's HD and then just delete. Someone help please?

System Prefs not showing all disks

It's been some time since I backed up and I've just copied over to my Lacie 500 drive the contents of my main drive. On checking with Startup Drive in System Prefs I note that I don't see the Lacie nor my second HD which I use with FCP editing content. (I was going to treat my Lacie to being the startup Drive as a test). What I have sshowing is the normal HD startup drive and Network Startup showing. No second HD nor the Lacie. In About This Mac, no Lacie drive is showing.
What have I cocked up, if anything?

I'm wondering why mine now aren't! I've cocked up something and maybe the drives need validating?
I thought this was answered. You copied over the contents of your internal either by dragging or using copy and paste. Startup Disc is looking for volumes that will boot the computer; that's why it's called "startup..." I'm beginning to think your drives were never bootable and therefore, never available in Startup Disc.
You can continue using these drives as data drives by dragging things over, but if you want a bootable drive -- and this can be very useful if your internal ever fails, and be up and running right away, or if the internal, startup Volume starts to show serious problems, in which case you can always do a reverse clone from a healthy external back to the internal -- you need to make a clone.
There are two distinct ways you have of creating a bootable, i.e. startup copy of your Internal. You can use Restore from Disc Utility, or, generally much more practical, you can use a cloning application.
There are several; the one I use, which is excellent and is freeware, is Carbon Copy Cloner. Once you do the initial clone, CCC offers the option of doing incremental backups. This will keep the clone looking exactly like the internal (or, since it's a MacPro, secondary drive.)
There is lots of documentation about using CCC and help for getting started at the site.
http://www.bombich.com/
You need to start from a clean, properly Formatted (this is done from the Partitioning area of DU) drive. See this about Formatting. (You have to find out if your MacPro is PPC or Intel. PPC will be Formatted APM (Apple Partition Map) and Intel will be Formatted GUID. For that, look in the Apple Menu> About this Mac>More info> Processor.) Note that Formatting will erase all the data currently on the drive.

Hi.
It's not bug, it's a feture. :)
show-disks show available controlles, that can have connected disk.
For create alias you should manualy add what disks exactly you want use.
disk0 /pci@0,600000/pci@0/pci@0/scsi@0/disk@0

To back up your data, either use Target Disk Mode and a cable from another Mac (which mounts your problem Mac as an external disk of the other Mac) and Disk Utility on that other Mac, or — and this is all assuming you either have a slow Internet connection and don't want to use Internet Recovery, or if you have an older Mac that doesn't support Internet Recovery — you can create a bootable USB key disk on another Mac and then boot your problematic Mac from that keydisk, then use Disk Utility from the installer to make a backup to another (external) (scratch) disk. You can also use that keydisk to reinstall OS X, to repair or to reinstall OS X.

My Mac OS X Disk is showing all Icons ?
