On Lion OS why do new icons not appear on the desk top either from drag and drop of scanning onto

There seems to be an error on Lion OS which I installed recently. If you drag files onto the desk top they disappear. However, they can be found in finder. If you scan direct to the desk top they also do not appear. Is there a bug?

Sounds to me like you have a corrupt plist file.
First thing I would try would be to simply relaunch your Finder and see if that sorts your problem.
>ForceQuit>Finder>Relaunch
If not navagate to com.apple.desktop.plist and delete.
Finder>GO>(option Key)Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
or in Finder shortcut ( ⇧⌘G) copy and paste:
~/Library/Preferences/
delete the com.apple.desktop.plist
Relaunch your Finder again.
The deleted plist will rebuild itself to default setting after Finder relaunch
Report back on your sucess or failure.

How do I merge events on the new IPhoto. The old one was simply drag and drop, this one will not.

How do I merge events on the new IPhoto. The old one was simply drag and drop, this one will not.

There are no longer events in Photos. The new Photos for Mac is structuring the Photos Library automatically into Moments based on dates and locations. You cannot change the moments.
When Photos migrates an iPhoto Library, it will create album for each event in the iPhoto Library, as a substitute, but these album based "events" are a fake, because albums behave differently from events.
In iPhoto each photo could be only in one event, so you could move photos from one event to another. With albums, dragging a photo from an album to another album will simply add the photo to the other album as well.
You will have to remove the photo from the original album.

Why doesn't the original document I'm dragging and dropping from one folder to another move?

Why doesn't the original document I'm dragging and dropping from one folder to another move?
What's happening is the computer is creating a duplicte of the document and placing it in the new location with a new creation date. The original document I wanted to drag and drop into a new location remains where it started as the "original" document and the new copy has this little arrow protruding up from the lower left of its icon.
At first I thought it was an alias, but it's a copy of the document I thought I was dragging and dropping.
What gives here?
Steve

That arrow indicates it is a linik to the original, though. This happens if you wish to drag files, for which you do not have permissions to do this operation, e.g. from Library or System folder. I am pretty sure you do not accomplish this operation from/to folders like Desktop or Documents; if so, there is a problem with your system.

Why am I having trouble importing vCards? I follow the Help Center instructions by dragging and dropping, but some don't sync into the cloud. And why can't I drag multiple vCards? I have over 4,000. Please tell me I don't have to do one at a time?

Each time I start up my MacBook Air a document appears on the desk top -calendarlogging.txt I'm synching my calendar with iCloud. Using Mavericks, but the same file was appearing using Lion. Any thoughts. Thanks

Each time I start up my MacBook Air a text file appears on the desk top (calendarlogging,txt) the file/document contains lines of code. I'm using iCloud to synch my calendar to multiple other devices - iMac, iPad and iPhone. Using Maverick on both my iMac and my MacBook Air. The file was also showing up on the desktop when I was using Lion. Any thoughts?

Hi everyone,
To anyone who might read this, I ended up re-installing with the original install disc and was able to get back on to Mac, though I lost all of the previous data that I had not backed up. Unsure still if it will continue to let me access the HDD in this, but it kind of confirms that installing Lion probably put too much stress on the computer this last year.

Why I can't see the button fuse, when I drag and drop a folder into same name folder

Why I can't see the button fuse, when I drag and drop a folder into same name folder
I saw the option only one time, and i reseach in the internet and I find fuse option, but now never saw again.
And Yes, I drag folders with the same name.

Ok, Gracias por su pronta respuesta, yo necesito arrastar una carpeta a otra ubicacion con una carpeta del mismo nombre, entiendo que lion te advierte si desea reemplazar el contenido o fusionar (mexclar el contenido)
como lo dice aqui :
http://www.cioal.com/2011/06/29/las-cinco-novedades-mas-importantes-de-mac-os-x- lion/
3. Podrás combinar tus archivos y carpetas. Seguro que alguna vez has perdido algún archivo al combinar carpetas o archivos del mismo nombre pero distinto contenido. Ahora, cuando intentes mover una carpeta a un lugar con otra de idéntico nombre, tu equipo te preguntará si prefieres combinar ambas o cambiar una por otra. Los archivos serán tratados de una manera similar: Cuando coincidan archivos con el mismo nombre, el sistema te preguntará también si quieres mantener ambas copias.
y en muchas otras paginas que tratan el tema.
mi problema es que esa opcion no me aparece. solo la opcion de reemplazar (o no reemplazar o detener)
Lo increible es que alguna vez el mismo dia de hoy si me aperecio la opcion.

Can I make layers default to the top when I drag and drop into a new folder?

Can I make layers default to the top when I drag and drop into a new layer folder instead of the bottom? It annoys me that they always go to the bottom and I inevitably always need them at the top.
Thanks

Hi there
ok so PS CS6 if I grab a layer in Group A (yes layer sets sorry) and drop it into Group B, itll put it under anything thats already in Group B, which annoys me! Is there a way of telling PS to default anything dragged from one group to another to default the newly added layers to the top

I have 9.0.1 on 2 pc's, both xp sp3. On 1 the 'open new tab' button is visible, on the other, the 'open new tab' button is not even available in the 'customize toolbar' menu for dragging and dropping. Why?

I used the same installation file, but on 1 pc, the 'open new tab' button is available in the 'customize toolbar' menu and can be dragged and dropped onto the navigation bar. On the other pc, the 'open new tab' button/icon is not even available for dragging and dropping. I uninstalled firefox completely, including settings and preferences, then reinstalled, but that did not correct the missing button.

Hi,
Please try '''Restore Default Set''' in the '''Customize...''' window. If it's still not visible, one reason could be that the button is already placed on the toolbar but may be hidden behind another icon or toolbar.

Why MSDAORA provider does not appear in the list of providers of management studio?

I have a Windows Server 2008R2
64-bit standard. with SQL Server
Express with Advanced Services 2008R2
64-bit. After performing the
above installation and do all the updates, I installed
Oracle 10G 32 bit client.
open sql server management studio and looked
at the list of providers. MSDAORA
does not appear in the list. I can do to make the
management studio put it in the list of
providers.
ps: this server must have the client
installed Oracle 10G 32
bit because I have several 32-bit applications
that use this client

Hello,
MsDaOra is the old (bases on Ora 8.5) deprecated Microsoft driver for Oracle; you should avoid to use this driver.
You can install the 32 bit and 64 bit Oracle OleDb driver parallel on the machine, that works. The you can use the driver version depending on the tool you work with.

The "home" icon which appears in the upper right corner has disappeared and I can't get back and forth unless I bookmark my home page and reach it through a bookmark.

Why do new items not appear in my library?

I have noticed that new song, movies, etc. do not appear in my library under iTunes 10.7 I can see them in the Recently Added playlist, but not in my library. I just bought The Avengers. The digital copy downloaded and installed to my iTunes and I synced it to my iPad, but it is not in the library under Movies. Likewise the free MP3 Avengers Assemble album is not there. Apps I buy do show up in the list and do update.

This happens when you apply a motion tween to a shape that
wasn't converted to a symbol *first*. For
reasons of organizing and managing a flash doc - always
convert shapes/images to a symbol forst -
then apply motion tweens.
If you delete these "tween" symbols in the library - the
animation on stage will be lost -
animations (specifically symbols) reference the symbols in
the library.
Search help docs for "symbols" to learn how Flash works in
this regard.

Why does my Videocast not appear in the iTunes Store

Hello,
i recently started an videocast and puplished it to iTunes, but until now you can only access the videocast by searching for it.
Why does not it appear in the Store while Browsing through the categories or in the "New" segment?
Below the feed for the videocast.
itpc://www.veoh.com/rss/collection/Wiideocast
Thanks in advance for your help

Don't worry, this is a problem that I have experienced in submitting all of my podcasts, and I believe it all boils down to this.
The people behind the iTunes Music Store only select a few of the new podcasts that they personally like to appear in the "New and Notable" section. This is why in your podcast name and episode names, you should try to include key words that sum up your podcast/vodcast. For example, my podcast is one which supplies various DJ mixes - so I make sure to call my podcast "House Music - Dirty, Filthy & Electro House DJ Mixes" so it has a higher chance of coming up when people search "music", "DJ" or "electro".
I know it's annoying because to have your podcast or vodcast appear there would be very helpful in spreading the word about your podcast, but Apple just won't do it. I might suggest sending them an email asking how you would go about approving it for the "New and Notable" section, but I have never tried this so there's no guarantee of an answer, or even a reply.
Hope this all helps. Good luck with the vodcast.
