On Program Start Initial Folder Appears on Desktop ?
Windows 7, i install itunes and run it, i get a my music folder appear on the desktop, inside it has itunes folder, then inside that album artwork folder, itunes media folder and 4 files libary extras, libary genius, libary and music libary.
i cannot seem to move it or delete it as then when i run itunes again it recreates this folder ???
A likley reason for the media folder appearing on the desktop is that it can't be accessed/created where it is supposed to be. This can sometimes happen with libraries that have been migrated from one user or system to another.
Repair Permissions for the iTunes & iTunes Media folders
Right-click on your main iTunes folder (normally in <User's Music> and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. Use the Change Permissions... button grant to your account (or the Users group) and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to Replace permissions entries... which will repair permissions throughout the library. When complete switch to the General tab, click in the Read-only check box to clear it, then click Apply.
If you don't have the option to change the permissions then use the Owner tab and Edit... button to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges. Tick the option to Replace owner on subcontainers and objects.
Repeat with the media folder if it isn't stored inside the main iTunes folder. Check under Edit > Preferences > Advanced if you're not sure.
Obviously if the media folder is set to the desktop in preferences that would also account for your observations...

"myname's macbook pro folder" appeared on desktop, how to remove it?
Suddendly a folder "myname's macbook pro" folder appeared on desktop, if I try to remove it, after some minutes it comes back. I'd like to know how to get rid of it, thanks
AndyI'm also not a stupid kid, but everyone spills at least one thing on their laptop or their computers in their lifetimes.
Everyone? I doubt it. Many of us are careful not to let food or drink near our computers.
The computer still works , and the drink must be dry by now.
Apparently the drink did not get beyond the keyboard, which is good. You have a couple of options:
1. Use a damp (not wet) cloth to gently wipe around the keys and the trackpad being careful that there is no water seepage. (Simply take your Apple cleaning cloth or similar lint-free cloth, sprinkle a few drops of water on it, rub it together to spread the moisture). Let it dry out completely for at least 30 minutes, then repeat the procedure as often as needed. If this does not remove the residue of juice go to
2. Replace the entire keyboard. You may be able to find reasonably priced replacements on eBay. (Some people report putting the entire keyboard sans ribbon cable, in the diskwasher then letting it dry out completely. I am not suggesting or recommending procedure unless you are willing to replace the keyboard if it does not work after the procedure).

Boot OSX folder appears on desktop
I randomly have this folder called Boot OSK appear on my desktop. It's won't open and it won't go away unless i restart. anybody know what this is?
here is a picture
http://lim.podzone.net/d/bootosx.jpg
Message was edited by: Steve SzolcsanyiAfter much research, I was unable to definitively find the cause of this. The Boot OSX folder is supposed to be created on any bootable volume, but is supposed to be hidden. I was able to reproduce the problem by switching in and out of the account using fast user switching--each time I would switch back there would be more instances of the Boot OSX folder on my desktop. This didn't seem to cause any problems, just annoying. based on other's suggestions, I contacted both SoftRAID and SuperDuper!. Both were helpful but did not have a cure (nor had they seen this particular issue). I am not suggesting that the problem has anything to do with those software products, I was just following up on other's suspicions.
The Cure (for me): Reformat each volume. I know, pain in the rear, but it did work for me. I deleted all partitions, deleted the RAID volumes, then rebuilt all from scratch. YMMV. -
Start up Screen Appears on Desktop
Hi, I'm wondering if anyone else is having this problem. The startup screen is appearing on the desktop and never goes away. The computer starts into Mac OS X and instead of seeing my desktop picture I get the "Starting Mac OS X". I've got a MacBook Pro running Boot Camp. The Mac OS runs well as does the Windows XP side. Sometimes the MacBook Pro takes several restarts to start in the Mac OS.
The computer seems to run ok aside from these issues. I'm just wondering if anyone else is having similar problems.Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences, click on Seeing, move the Contrast slider all the way to the left, turn off White on Black and all the other options except for the one controlling access for assistive devices, which can be left as is.

Strange Folder Appeared on Desktop
It was a folder containing photos (NOT vulgar) of total strangers. Looked like someone's personal photo folder. I don't know when it appeared, I think I didn't even notice it for a couple of days. Then I freaked out and deleted it. My question is, how the heck did this get on my desktop? Is this a sign that I've been hacked?
Unexplained yes, but not a sign you been hacked.
You can always look at the Get Info (command i ) information to see where and when it originated.
If you deleted it then not much chance to sort it out. -

When I type into Spotlight the name of a folder on the desktop, it doesn't appear in Spotlight. Could you please tell me how to get it right? Thank you.
And, what do I do if one of the harddisks on my Mini (2010, SL Server) starts misbehaving?Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps and allows to delete the Firefox program folder. -
I've just installed Firefox on my laptop and keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get this message whenever I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon. I've never gotten it to work and even uninstalled it and then redownloaded it and still cannot get it to open. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Are you installing from the official site? http://www.mozilla.com/firefox
If you use Windows Explorer (My Computer) to check that path, is the Mozilla Firefox folder there? That is the normal installation location, but I think it's worth checking.
If the folder isn't there or firefox.exe is not in it, I wonder whether some other software might be interfering. You might want to run some supplemental security scans. These two tools are highly regarded:

While working in Pages a folder appeared on my desktop with the Pages icon on it. I don't know how it got there. It will not let me move it on the desktop. I will not let me delete it. It will not let me do anything to it. Any idea what I might have done to create this alien?
Any help greatly appreciated with thanks in advance.Restart Finder by pressing option + command + Esc. Select Finder int he window that pops up and click on the Start/restart button.
You could also try deleting the com.apple.finder.plist file from Users > your name > Library > Preferences
Restarting the computer in safe mode , press the Shift key just after you heard the start chime. Keep it pressed until you see the grey apple. See if the folder is gone or can be moved. -
After last update, Thunderbird does not appear on desktop when started (XP Professional).
Since yesterday's update, when I start Thunderbird, it appears in the task bar, but not on the desktop. I can select it, or use Task Manager to "switch to" it, but right-clicking it does not give me a menu. (It used to be that it opened outside the visible desktop, but right-click gave me a "move" option and I could move it to the visible screen with the cursor keys). I know XP is on its way out, but...

I updated to Maverics and now yahoo and google do not load in Safari - i get a "connot connect to server" warning. other websites load just fine.
Also, after several attempts to access the aforementioned sites, a zipped file/folder appeared on my desktop titled "WirelessDiagnostics"
What in the world is going on here? I attached a screenshot of the zip file.Double-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy it to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:

Launch the Network Utility application.
Step 1
Select the Lookup tab and paste into the address field (command-V). Press return. Post the output that appears below – the text, please, not a screenshot.
Step 2
Select the Ping tab and do the same. Please enter the same input as you did in Step 1. Don't use the output of Step 1 as input to Step 2.
Important Note
Some web browsers and mail clients will automatically convert a domain name such as "www.example.com" to a clickable URL, such as http://www.example.com. That will interfere with the test. If necessary, edit the input in the Network Utility window to remove any added characters. -
In System Prefereneces, when I am in Desktop and Screen Saver, I am unable to remove folders. I can click the "-" and the folder appears to be gone, but when I close and then reopen System Preferences, and open Desktop and Screen Saver, the folder reappears in the list. I have tried deleting preferences "plist" but I am totally unable to remove the folders.
I've seen one other report like yours, and I think the issue is caused by a bug, but I don't know what triggers it.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
