New icons dont seam on desktop till reset

Hello friends I need a hand here,
When I sometimes download files from the internet or form a new file with phoyoshop for example, it doesnt seem on the desktop even it is there.
I search and find the file with the spotligt or copy the same file to the desktop or reset the machine, and only then I can see it. It seems to be a kind of refreshment problem.
Please, anyone, is there anything I can do about this. It really gets annoying, especially when I try to do something in a hurry.
Sincerely,
Murat
MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

I notice this as well from time to time. Seems just like a "refresh" thing as when it has occurred to me, it has been where i saved a file to the Desktop folder thru an app's dialogue window and then using Exposé to show the desktop, it is not there till i click an empty space. Then like magic, it appears.
It happens to me so infrequently that I don't care too much.
When it occurs, try clicking on the Desktop... does it come up?

    Have you tried resetting your SIM card?  Turn off the phone, remove the SIM card (be careful not to touch the gold contacts), wait a few minutes, then reinsert the SIM card, turn on the phone, and allow it a few minutes to establish a fresh network connection.  If that doesn't work, you might try a new SIM card, they're free at your local Corporate Verizon store.

  • How to remove Homegroup and Libraries icons from 7 RC desktop (after Vista upgrade)?

    I took the plunge and upgraded my Vista 64 to Win 7 RC. The upgrade process lasted over 6 hours (some 300GB on my C:drive with Vista), but, once completed, it has been working really very fast & smoothly. The original Vista system is backed up of course on an external HDD.
    What annoys me though, are 2 stubborn system icons on my 7RC desktop, Homegroup and Libraries. I don't use Homegroup and Libraries can be accessed via Taskbar or Start menu, so I want to get rid of these two icons, but they cannot be remove from the desktop as such, like "normal" icons.
    Personalize -> Change Desktop Icons doesn't seem to offer any solution for these 2 icons.
    I never had those desktop icons on earlier clean installs of Win7 Beta (on separate dual boot HDD), only now after the massive Vista->7RC upgrade.
    I also have retained an earlier "unofficial" other Win 7 7100 on another HDD (with less installed apps.), for comparison.
    Is there any registry hack or other method to remove these desktop icons?
    I'd be grateful for a solution.

    After hours of being annoyed........
    1. Homegroup Icon:
    open my computer, control panel, system and security, administrative tools, services, then scroll down to: homeGroup listener and homeGroup provider, disable both. close out, log off. the icon should be gone when you log back on.
    2. Libraries Icon: carefully.......please, if no experience in registry get help.
    go to: start, run, type in: regedit, select the HKEY_Local_Machine key, navigate down finding: Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace
    You will see several hexadecimal strings, select each one in turn, and the right pane will show you which icon is being selected. my library icon was the very first string and showed two lines on the right side of the page, first being: usersLibraries and the second being: remove message.
    when you find the appropriate library string, make a new folder in your my documents named: registry back up, then highlight the string on the left, go up to the top left of the registry page and click on, file then export. save the registry file in your new folder location. I also saved the two files on the right side of the page and named them what they were called on the page, so I would know what they were. (not sure I had to but did)
    After saving the registry files, next you can delete the string you have highlighted on the left which in turn, shows the name userLibraries (on the right side of the page).
    Poof it is finally Gone! available in your saved folder
    Hope this helps

  • IPad 2 icons go missing from desktop on rotating basis

    As stated, iPad 2 icons go missing from desktop on rotating basis. My iPad was new as of Xmas day. I have NOT synced to iTunes (I don't want to at this time) and I have NOT upgraded the software to iOS 5.0.1 (still on 5.0).
    I have downloaded about twenty apps; five of which cost money from Apple's app store.
    I don't get it. This is a new device that I have been using for less than ten days for only an hour or two a day; I don't believe new purchasers of iPads should be having to contend with icons going missing (icons take turns disappearing when swiping back and forth between the pages of app icons, the names of icons remain, however).
    I have re-booted the iPad. At first the icons all reappear and all seems well until about an hour of usage of opening up various apps and using them, and then the problem re-appears. I have done this three times now, and have resorted to just contending with the problem as the apps will still launch and they run fine, it is just that the full icon doesn't appear (only the name of the app and a missing icon above the name of the app):
    I am thinking the cause could be due to one of two problems/issues, but wonder what others' thoughts are.
    1). Glitchy App. If it is due to a glitchy app (and does not Apple test these apps before giving the all -clear to be downloaded from the Apple app store?), how best to figure out which one it is?
    2) Glitchy OS (iOS 5.0). If this is due to a glitchy 5.0 iOS, is there no other choice than to upgrade to 5.0.1? I really do not want to do that just yet unless it is necessary. [And if it is necessary, would Apple really release a glitchy iOS knowing ahead of time it had problems? Seems strange....]
    Anyone got any ideas or have been experiencing the same issue (is it a known issue)?

    And if you restore as new, you can re download the apps for free as long as you are using the same apple id. 
    If it was a single bad app, you would have said so.  If it was a common problem with the os, it would have been reported by a zillion users. 
    I think your os got corrupted. ( potentially from a bad app, or maybe just gremlins). It is a new machine, just start over.  Reload the apps in small groups so that if it is a bad app, you can narrow the issue down.

  • I cant use my contacts in my iphone. the contacts icon dont open. How can I use it?

    i cant use my contacts in my iphone. the contacts icon dont open. How can I use it?

    Your daughter must have signed into your iCloud account, perhaps when she updated her phone.  You can confirm this by going to Settings>iClloud on her phone and seeing if she is using the same iCloud ID.
    To fix this you would need to migrate her phone to a separate iCloud account.  To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos that she wishes to keep on your phone to her camera roll by opening her my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tapping the share icon (box with upware pointing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.
    Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone.  This only deletes the account from her phone, not from iCloud; it won't effect your device(s).  When you delete the account you will be asked if you want to keep or delete the iCloud data from her phone.  If she needs to migrate a copy of the data to her new account, choose Keep; otherwise, choose Delete.  Then sign back in with a separate Apple ID to create her new account and if migrating data to the new account, choose Merge when prompted.
    Once she is on a separate account, if she migrated a copy of the data to her new account you can go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into her new iCloud account and delete your data from her account.

  • HT3296 I dont have Original remote and reset apple tv

    I dont have Original remote and reset apple tv how can I connect to settings now? The App dont see it after it set up with my ID

    Yes indeed, any Apple remote will do.
    When a remote and an Apple TV are paired, the instruction is stored on the Apple TV and not the remote. So you should be able to use the remote that now controls your girlfriend's Apple TV without any un-pairing. However if your your Apple TV has been paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

  • MBP Retina Black Desktop keeps resetting

    I am having a problem with my new Macbook Pro Retina. Every time I turn on the computer, the desktop wallpaper resets itself to a black backround. Once I open the wallpaper chooser and choose the galaxy or any other default wallpapers, it sets the background to that, but the second I reboot the machine, I lose that background. Has anyone else ever had that problem with OSX Lion, or have a potential fix for it?

    Hey kubedzero!
    Yeah, I've unfortunatly come across the same problem, as has some other buyers of the Macbook Retina! (Never come across this issue before) The solution for me, was to create a new adminstrator account, and delete the old one. However, I'm still having issues with keeping my folders in the desktop folder. I am only able to keep one folder. Once I choose a new folder I want to choose my backgrounds from, the other folder dissappears. Though technically, this shouldn't be an issue for such an expensive and powerfull machine, I'm not going to dwell futher on that minor issue, since I don't change my laptopscreen every two seconds
    I hope this will help your issue, and please, do comment if you experience the same folder issue, as me!

  • New icons don't show

    I recently had trouble with my G4 booting up and was told to use the start up disk to run the disk utility. I did that and it fixed the problem. However, I think it created a new one. I plugged in my digital today and the icon drive didn't come up enabling me to download the pictures. I thought it might be a cable problem, but I put a disk into the zip drive and it's icon didn't show up so I could not access it? Any answers?
    Thanks, Pat

    Hi
    This may be a silly question, but are you referring to the icons on the main desktop (rather than a Finder window side bar) ? It may be worth checking the Finder preferences (Finder menu -> Preferences... option) to see whether the 'Show these items on the Desktop' options are still set correctly.

  • New iTouch software 1.1.3 but no new icons on my screen

    I've spent 20.00 on the upgrade and I have no new icons on the screen and in setting I dont see mail, notes, weather or any of the apps I see on the iTouch website ... What am I missing to get these new items to work on my iTouch?

    Update:
    After syncing a few times with no update, I disconnected the iPod from the computer. After a few minutes, the 1.1.3 software dialog popped up. I then installed the 1.1.3 software, the new icons appeared and are now working.
    The confusing thing about this whole episode was that initially, it appeared that the 1.1.3 software was installed when it was not. Not a good experience.

  • New Icon next to my battery

    I was in the middle of sending a text when a new icon appeared next to my battery. It looks like a phone with a keyboard under it. I've never seen it before.

    That icon is for a TTY adaptor if it's connected. Do you use one? check page 17 and 113 of the iPhone user manual http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPhone_UserGuide.pdf
    It doesn't say how to turn it on/off though. Maybe try a reset?
