No desktop icon for camera

Hey Everyone, when I connect my HP 817 camera iPhoto automatically opens but I don't get an icon on my desktop. When I connect a USB drive it shows, same for my iPod but not my camera. Is there a setting to change to make cameras open on the desk top instead of iPhoto all the time? I don't always want to import photos into iPhoto. Anyone have any suggestions. Thanks

For the camera to mount on the desktop it has to be able to be recognized as a removable storage device. The support for mounting the HP 817 as a removable storage device on the desktop must not be in OS X yet.

How do I change the desktop Icon for an external hard drive? I have gone to "Get Info" and tried dragging and dropping several formats of pictures and the icon changes to the generic image of that file type.

how can I change the desktop icon for an external hard drive. Using LaCies and Dimple hard drives.

One of the things I've found with OS X (at least with Snow Leopard, which is my first excursion into OS X), is that all too often the thumbnail displayed on a file, whether a file created or one downloaded, is a false thumbnail. That is, when you do a Get Info on the file the icon in the upper left is the generic icon for that file type, rather than the thumbnail displayed in Finder. Makes it a bit difficult to copy.
Apparently Finder uses Preview in the background to generate the displayed thumbnail without actually creating one.
What I've resorted to doing, particularly with graphic images, is to process them with GraphicConverter - I have its prefs set to automatially add thumbnails and previews. With an individual file this means opening it in GC and doing a Save As. However, a much easier and faster way is when there are two or more such files; I put them in a common folder and drop the folder onto GC. GC then opens them in a catalog view, in the process adding real thumbnails and previews to each automatically. Doesn't take long to do several hundred files that way.

Missing desktop icon for Seagate 500GB FW external drive

I have recently lost my desktop icon for my Seagate 500GB FW external drive.... it there!!!! System profiler sees it, so does Disk Utilities and even my back up program will still back up to it. However no desktop icon to access it...What did I do or did not do HELP!!!
iMAC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1G RAM

Did you ever figure this one out?
I have seen two external Seagate drives (FW, 500GB) stop mounting after about one use on a mac. Neither of them would show up under windows XP or 2000 afterwards.
I reformatted one, and am wondering if I'll need to do the same thing to the other.
Thanks for any info!

How do I create a desktop Icon for Adobe create pdf?

How do I create a desktop icon for Adobe create pdf?

Hi, ken.
You can access ExportPDF from your computer more quickly in three ways:
You can download and install the CreatePDF Desktop Application. More info is here. With this application, you can drag PDF files onto a desktop icon and have those converted to Office files. (If you subscribe to the CreatePDF service, this application will also allow you to create PDF files.)
You can download and install the newest Adobe Reader and access the service using Reader's Tools Pane on right. Then, any time you have PDF open in Reader, you can (with a couple of clicks) convert that PDF to an Office file.
You can drag the webpage icon from your browser to your desktop. This will create a shortcut to the ExportPDF website on your desktop. Here are some instructions for doing that using Internet Explorer or Firefox.
Let us know if you have additional questions or issues.

How to create shortcut desktop icon for all users???

Hello All,
I want to know how to create shortcut icon for all users in windows 7. I tried C:\Users\Public but no folder for Desktop.
Thanks

C:\users\All users
JS
Hi,
I am just wondering, what is the technically correct location to place say, a shortcut, for all users to access on their desktops on a given machine?
Is it C:\Users\Public\Desktop ?
Or is it C:\Users\All Users\Desktop ?
Would it also be possible to explain the differences as well? Or paste some links to the overview of each one? I am having trouble finding anything from MS.
Thank you.

Green Desktop Icon (for the external HD) for Time Machine

After I choosed my external Lacie HD as the BackUp Volume for Time Machine, the icon (on the Desktop) didn't change into the green (original) Time Machine Volume. How can I change that? Thanks a lot for your help, Beat.

I had a similar problem where my HD desktop icon originally changed to the green TM icon then reverted back to the original icon after I made some changes to TM preferences. To get the green TM icon back select the HD icon on your desktop and Get Info (Command-I). At the top of the Get Info dialog box next to the drive's name, click on the icon of the HD. It should have a light blue halo around it when selected. Once selected press the Delete key and the green TM HD icon should appear in place of the original HD icon.
That worked for me.

Desktop icon for a file on network shows blank in Windows 8.1, if selected the second icon from the library

Hello,
I have a strange issue on my Windows 8.1 machine. The icon for for an executable file on the network shows blank, if I select the second icon from the library. (File->Properties->Change Icon and select the second icon - This file has two icons)
If I re-create the IconCache.db, then it is showing correctly. But I do not want to do this every time.
Regards
Mattehw

It indicates your Icon Cache is corrupted and you need to rebuild it.
Open the command prompt window, type each of the following and after every command, hit the Enter button:
cd /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
attrib –h IconCache.db
del IconCache.db
start explorer

How do I change the desktop icon for an MS-Dos Fat formatted flash drive in Lion?

I have a bunch of flash drives I need to format for work, and we want to put our company logo as the icon for each drive. We wanted to format them as MS-Dos Fat so that they'll be readable and writeable on both Mac and Windows computers. But when I format them that way and change the icon, it displays as a generic preview JPEG image instead of the real image or even the default hard drive icon.
I managed to fix it so the icon will display properly in Snow Leopard, but in Lion the drive still mounts with the generic Preview thumbnail.
Is there any way I can easily format a flash drive so that a) it will be readable and writeable on Windows and OSX machines and b) have the icon for the drive appear correctly on Lion, Snow Leopard, and windows machines?
Thanks!

Command- i will open the info pane of your icon.
Try opening and "selecting all" ⌘-A (of your preferred image,) then copy and paste your preferred image on the high-lighted icon in the upper left.

My HP J5780 printer program does not bring up the desktop icon for faxing. The HP Solution Ctr fails

As stated above, the icon that use to come up on the desktop when you clicked the HP Solution Center (use to be able to scan/fax/etc. by clicking the selected item on the icon) does not come up. Instead I get the following error message when I click on the HP Solution Center: Parsing error in file C:/Program Files (x86)/hp/Digital Imaging/bin/hpqscloc/1033.xml
The printer will fax using the panel on the printer. Everything was working ok prior to replacing the printer with HP8500A Plus. At which time I deleted all files and programs associated with the J5780 printer and installed the software for the 8500A printer. I was not satisfied with the 8500A, so I removed the software for the 8500A from the computer and then restored my computer to a prior date when the J5780 was installed and working ok. Another problem that I have with the J5780 printer follows: Prior to having a WIN7 computer, the printer would print on both sides of the paper. Since installing the WIN7 computer, it will not print on both sides. I have discussed this problem with HP in the past but still do not have a fix for this problem. If anyone can help me on these two problems, I would really appreciate it.
Does anyone have the Starter CD for WIN7 systems for the HP Officejet J5780. If so, could you make a copy for me and I will pay you for it.
Thanks for your consideration and efforts.

Desktop icon for individual PC's on network

Go in Group Policy, make a new GPO. Edit User Configuration > Preferences > Windows Settings > Right Click Shortcuts and make a new shortcut and fill out everything. Go to Common tab and edit the Item-Level targeting
Apply the policy to the users you want to have it.
Do you need more detailed instructions on using group policy? That's a whole different subject then.

I am sure there is a way to do this, but I am not sure how to go about it.
Basically I have a piece of software installed on some machines and I would like to have a desktop shortcut available for a group of users only on these machines. I could do this for all users, but I would need only this group to see the icon.
I expect someone will be able to tell me a simple way via the Group Policy.

Desktop Icon for mounted Samba/Windows share

Hi All,
I have recently moved over to Leopard and have found somthing to be missing that was enabled by default (it seems) in Tiger.
If I mount a Samba/Windows share, there is no icon automatically placed on the desktop (as with USB drives etc) but there was in Tiger. I basically used these icons to know when finishing up for work at the end of the day if there were still any shares mounted before putting my machine to sleep so I would remember to unmount them. Now I don't have the visual cue, so I often get home and Finder locks up a bit and eventually tells me that the shares have been disconnected.
Is there any way to turn this feature back on?

Wow. I feel so stupid. I'm pretty sure I even looked in there and somehow missed it. I think I was looking for something similar to the check box list there is for the sidebar in the Finder preferences.
Thanks for that.

How can I restore the icon on my desktop for my hp 1000 printer. want to check ink levels, print test page, etc.

What operating system? I recommend not using the software CD as it may be out of date. Get the latest software for your printer from the "Support & Drivers" link at the top of this page.
