Oracle Drive: Icon Not Displayed in "My Computer"

I have a couple of users who are using Oracle Drive, and they have no problem connecting, and they have the "Open Explorer window after connection" option selected. However, if they accidentally close the Explorer window, and try to go back into "My Computer" and find the icon for the drive to open it, it's not displayed. However they are actually still connected to the drive. Both of these users are running WinXP, SP2, and have all current Windows updates, patches, etc. We also have about 20 other users with the same OS and environment who are not having this problem. All of these users are in a domain controller (Windows Active Directory Server 2003) environment. This is not a huge issue, but are there any ideas as to why this is happening?

try to check with some one from microsoft as this error happens even with a local driver under windows. Or u can re-install windows again!!

Improperly ejected external hard drive is not displaying on computer...not even in Disk Utility

My external hard drive has been repeatedly ejected improperly and now it is not displaying on my computer, not even in disk utility. How do I re-mount this external hard drive? In the past when this has happened, all I had to do was go to Disk Utility or use DiskWarrior to fix the issue but now it won't even show up in either of these apps.
Any help would be appreciated

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Power Adapter
and uncheck the box labeled Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible, if it's checked.
If the drive has more than one interface (USB, FireWire, Thunderbolt, eSATA), try one of the other interfaces.
Check that the data cable is securely inserted at both ends.
Try a different cable.
If you're connecting the drive through a hub, connect it directly to a built-in port on the Mac.
If you're connecting it directly, try a different port.
Disconnect all other devices on the bus, or as many as possible.
Test the drive with another Mac. Test another drive with this Mac.
If the drive is bus-powered, but has an AC adapter, connect the adapter.
Start up in Recovery mode and launch Disk Utility. Is the drive recognized?
Start up in Safe Mode and test.
Reset the NVRAM.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If the drive doesn't work under any of the above conditions, and if another drive does work with the same Mac, then the drive has failed. You may be able to salvage the mechanism by removing it from the enclosure and installing it in another one, or in a drive dock.

Finder icons not displaying or not displaying properly

I'm having a problem where icons in finder such as word documents pdfs and the main volume of my hard drive are not displaying at all or are not displaying correctly. One .rtf file I saved on my desktop had the same icon as a jpeg I had saved on the desktop too.
Anybody have any idea of what I can do about this?

Create a new admin user account, log into it, and see if the behavior persists. If so, it's system-wide and reinstalling the COMBO updater is advisable. You might consider going to 10.4.10, but with the usual caveat of backing up your current boot volume to a bootable backup/clone.
If not, then you've corruption/conflicts within the original user folder, usually preference files. Get Preferential Treatment and verify/repair them. Determining the conflict is a hit and miss proposition and time consuming. See my posts at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4703015 for the steps.

My external hard drive is not recognized by my computer.

My external hard drive is not recognized by my computer. I used it earlier and it was fine however my computer froze and I unplugged my hard drive without properly ejecting it. Now when I plug it in nothing pops up. I've tried on three different computers and no luck. I hope this is fixable! Please help.

Wirless icon not displaying, but says I am connected to network

I am a new Iphone user, so I apologize is this a rookie questions. I believe I am connected to my house wireless connected as the name of my network is checked off when I go to settings and Wifi.
My question is, though, why is my icon not displaying on the top left corner? It displays when I am connected at work and everywhere else I was able to connect. Is there something in my settings that I may have checked?
And, does that mean I am not really connected wirelessly?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks, all. So, I just rebooted and there was no change.
Then, as SteveCWatkings recommended, I went into my settings page. I went into the properties page, and there isn't anything listed beside IP address, Subnet Mask, Router, DNS, etc. They are all empty...
*UPDATE*
Okay, something just happened. AS I WAS RESPONDING, I was clicking on each of the fields (IP address, Subnet, etc to see if I could enter information since they were empty. And,when I got to DNS, it allowed me to type something in. Not knowing what to enter, I clicked back and it took me back to the Settings page. So, I clicked on my network again and when I tapped my network, all the fields were filled in, and the icon appeared.
So, now it appears to be connected. I don't know if it will remain connected, or if I had to tap something (DNS?) or if it was glitch, but it appears to be working now.
Thanks a ton!

Icons not displaying in oracle forms.

Hi All,
I am trying to display icons on Oracle forms 10g.I just brought over these forms from another system and I am trying to display the icons like next record, clear form etc..
I have done the following steps so far. The icons are still not displaying. Appreciate any help.
Created a folder in D:\oracle\oracleas\forms\java called icons.
Copied all gif files and jpeg files into icons. Then created a jar file.
D:\oracle\oracleas\forms\java>jar -cvf my_icons.jar icons
It created the jar file in the same directory D:\oracle\oracleas\forms\java
Also changes were made to these files as shown below each file.
forms.conf
AliasMatch ^/forms/icons/(..*) "D:\oracle\oracleas\forms\java\icons/$1"
registry.dat
default.icons.iconpath=http://servername:7778/forms/java/
formweb.cfg
# Forms applet parameter
codebase=/forms/java
# Forms applet parameter
imageBase=codebase
# Forms applet archive setting for JInitiator
archive_jini=frmall_jinit.jar,frmmain.jar, frmjdapi.jar, my_icons.jar
# Forms applet archive setting for other clients (Sun Java Plugin, Appletviewer, etc)
archive=frmall.jar,frmmain.jar, frmjdapi.jar, my_icons.jar
Also added this line under orion-web-app in orion-web.xml file.
<virtual-directory virtual-path="/icons" real-path="D:\oracle\oracleas\forms\java\icons" />
Restarted the OC4J forms server after any change.

To test your configuration, you can try building an URL:
i.e.
http://localhost:8889/forms/frmservlet/icons/iconname.gif
Does it show the icon ?
If that does not work, I would try re-generating the my_icons.jar file, but instead of going directly to the forms/java/icons folder, copy the icons folder to the root directory i.e. c:\icons and execute the command to jar the icons folder, then redeploy the my_icons.jar file.
Then try again with the URL... if the URL does not work, you still have configuration issues.
PS: Don't forget to clear the cache in your browser so that the new .jar files is loaded?
Furthermore:
========
Remove the changes made to the forms.conf and orion-web.xml, they are only needed if the icons are
not stored in a .jar file.
forms.conf
AliasMatch ^/forms/icons/(..*) "D:\oracle\oracleas\forms\java\icons/$1"
orion-web.xml
<virtual-directory virtual-path="/icons" real-path="D:\oracle\oracleas\forms\java\icons" />

To double check your configuration, follow steps in metalink note 232413.1 - How to Deploy Iconic Images via a JAR File in Forms 9i/10g?.

Menu toolbar icons not displayed in colour when deployed on the Web

Hello!
We are developing an application using Forms6i on Windows NT.
Our problem is that menu toolbar icons are not displayed in colour when the application is deployed on the Web using lookAndFeel = generic. This is the case both when using Microsoft IE5 and Netscape 4.5. When lookAndFeel = oracle, however, the icons are displayed in colour.
The icons are stored as *.gif files in the same directory as the application *.html file. It does not help to create a virtual path /web_icons/ in the www listener and edit the parameter default.icons.iconpath in the file Registry.dat.
When running the application as client/server, the menu toolbar icons are displayed in colour as expected.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Hi,
I got the same problem and I didn't figure out, how to solve this problem.
But did you try to printout the form anyway? I guess you will see the icons on the printout, won't you?

Hard Drive Icon Not Showing Up on Desktop

Hey folks, this might be a very very noobish question, but I guess I'm fairly new to OSX...
My Hard Disk Drive icon is not showing up on my desktop for some reason...if I open a New Finder Window, I can't see it on the upper left hand quadrant in columnar view, but I can get to all the shortcut folders in the lower left hand quadrant (Applications, Documents, Movies, etc.), but can't navigate to the root directory unless I use Terminal (yup, I'm root user).
When I go into Disk Utility (/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app) then I can see the drive itself as well as the Windows partition I created for Bootcamp purposes. I tried Verify Drive and Verify Permissions to see if there were some weird problems with the drive itself but both came back perfect, and still no HDD icon on the desktop.
I have a feeling it's just some weird setting I may have inadvertently tweaked, so any feedback, advice, or information on how to get it back would be very welcome and appreciated. In case it's any help, here is the HDD Information from Get Info:

Thanks in advance!

Thanks ElBiggus, I neglected to add that I had already done this. "Hard disks" is checked, as is "CDs, DVDs, and iPods", as well as "Connected Servers".
If I drop down the "New Finder windows open:" menu, I see "Home", "Documents", "Computer", "iDisk" (greyed out), and "Untitled", which is my Windows partition.
This is a very strange one...can't seem to figure it out

External Mounted Hard Drive Icon Not Showing on Desktop nor on Sidebar

Bonjour,
I have a portable drive that does NOT show up in the Sidebar nor on the Desktop. The only way I can see and navigate through it is by clicking in Disk Utility > Mount Point: <hyper-link>
Then hard drive icon and its content show up fine. But the HD icon is slightly dimmed (it is paler than the all other - HD, computer, etc - icons).
I verified the external HD and it is just fine. I have another eDrive (TechTool Pro 4) partition and it shows up like any normal HDs normally does.
How can I get the icon to show up back into the Sidebar and the Desktop?
Is there a "Preference" file I need to throw out?
Is there a UNIX command I could execute to make it show up again?
Thanks for your assistance.

Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and run the following:
tell application "System Events"
set visible of (choose folder with invisibles) to false
end tell
When prompted, select your hard disk in the dialog box. Next, log out and back in.

Backup drive icons not cleared

Not sure whether this is a Time Machine problem or a Finder problem -- could not find any references in Discussions or Support.
The icons for "Backup of (my computer)" do not get cleared after each backup; as a result, I have an ever-growing list of these in the Devices tree in the Finder window. They cannot be clicked on to open or eject them. Running "ls /Volumes" in Terminal shows that there are no extra drives mounted under these names.
Anyone know how to get Finder (or whatever) to clear these icons when backup is done?

Ken,
It seems to be normal for the first time you run Time Machine on the Time Capsule.
The next day, I did not have the disk image of the computer name nor did I even have the Time Capsule on the desktop. It does everything in the background after the first day.

External drive icon not appearing on desktop

Hi - I have also posted this in the Time Machine forum as this is where my problem started. New iMac yesterday - replacement for faulty iMac which I had backed up using Time Machine. Reinstall from Time Machine effortless - no problem. Downloaded available software updates and 10.5.7 onto new iMac. No problem until I go to do another backup. Time Machine does not recognise external drive and I get "volume could not be found" message. At this point in time the external drive icon is showing on the desktop. Give up and go to bed thinking I will reformat external drive in the morning and start again
This morning, I boot up the machine but the external drive icon has disappeared from the desktop. Unplug external HD from usb and plug in again. No icon on desktop although it shows in Finder and Time Machine.
Anyway - I turned Time Machine off and then pointed it at the Ext. HD - went to back up now and magic - did complete backup and has done a second subsequently. Seems to have created a second backup folder separate from the one created by previous machine from which I reinstalled. Still no desktop icon! Switch iMac off and on again - still no desktop icon. So why - the Ext. drive is recognised and works so why isn't an icon for it appearing on the desktop?
Please help - I need answers to these weird happenings
Thanks
Ann
.

Problem solved and it was so simple - just had to go to Finder, Preferences, General and tick the box that says external devices. Desktop icon has returned:-) Don't know why it became unticked but everything now is working absolutely fine (as far as I know lol) Hope this is the start of a good relationship between me and my new Mac!

Canvio External Hard Drive does not appear in MY COMPUTER

Sorry if the subject is in wrong section of the forum.
I bought an External Hard Drive to use with my Windows 7 laptop. When connecting, sounds like a new device is connected, also appears listed in DEVICES & PRINTERS, but does not appear in MY COMPUTER, becoming impossible to access it anyhow.
Procedures about how to format or change device letter (in DISK MANAGEMENT), although the device has been also shown there, haven't work.
"Drivers" are listed as updated.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Jerry, thanks for trying to help.
I download the KillDisk as your adviced.
The Hardware appears there like:
Hard Disk 2 (82h) TOSHIBA External USB 3.0 - [DEVICE IS NOT READY]
Local Disk (2 - [DRIVE IS NOT READY]
Available actions for each are: Mark / Unmark / Refresh.
Any possibility of it is broken, or something?

FAT formatted external hard drive is not 'readable by this computer'

Hello support community
The problem: when I insert my 'FAT' formatted external hard drive (Samsung M3) into my mac book pro it comes up with the error message that says "the inserted disk is not readable by this computer" and I therefore cannot access the files.
The story (potential further details):
1. I had a problem with my mac where it took hours to load each time I turned it on, would only work when power was plugged in etc. so I had to reformat my mac hard drive (when I tried to veriify it said repair, that wouldn't work). So i'm starting with a recently reformatted, clean mac.
2. Before doing this I reformatted my external hard drive (whilst on windows machine) to FAT32 (so I can use on both windows and mac) so that I could back up my files.
3. I then transferred files from mac onto external hard drive and then also put them on a windows machine.
4. After reformatting mac hard drive when I then tried to transfer files back onto the mac I get the 'not readable' error.
The technical details:
Thank you very much indeed anyone who can help or can try and help
Cheers
Andy

Erase the drive and reformat using your Mac (Disk Utility)

Time machine drive is "not readable by this computer."

I cannont back up my computer any more. When I plug in the hard drive I use as my Time Machine back-up disk I receive this message "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." with options to "initialize..." and ignore and eject.
Any ideas?

The drive has apparently failed. Test it with another Mac, if possible.
