Quick Look icon doesn't appear in Finder window?

I've just installed Leopard, and have just read in the manual about Quick Look. Quick Look shows up in the drop-down File menu if I highlight a file or document, but it doesn't show up where it's supposed to in the Finder window, as an eyeball icon. I'm sure there's some obvious fix: can anyone explain what I have to do to get the icon to show up in Finder?
Much obliged.

the easiest way to quicklook a file is select the file and hit the space bar. but if you want to call it from the toolbar the icon should be tere too. if it isn't, go to view menu->customize toolbar and drag the "eye" icon to the toolbar.

Cloud icon doesn't appear; space still being used on ipad (or is it on my computer? I'm confused!)

What is the main selling poiint of iTunes Match? I subscribed because I'm loading my cds onto my new ipod, and I have more cds than it will hold. But the gb space didn't go to zero. Do we have to manually delete every song?

KeithJenner is correct - if you have music on your iPad and you sign up for iTunes Match, the locally stored music is not automatically removed. You have to do that yourself as he described. After you have removed the music from your ipad, if those songs were also on the computer you used to sign up for iTunes match, you will still see them in the music list on your iPad. If you click to play a song it will download a copy. There are other ways to download music too, such as from a button at the bottom of an album track list or from a playlist.
The headline of your post said "cloud icon doesn't appear." If you tell us where you are looking for a cloud icon and what you want to do with that cloud icon., we might be able to help you. cloud icons of one sort or another are used in many places in iTunes Match.
You also asked what the main selling point is for iTunes Match. While every person has their reason for using the service, in general it is looked at as a way to have access to all of your music on all of your devices, without having to keep all of your music locally stored on them all. It lets people with different music on more than one computer add it all to a central location too. You can read more about it at the link below.

Visual static or noise in Coverflow windows and Quicktime quick look icons

I am seeing visual static in the finder cover flow window, and with mp4 quick look icons in the cover flow window. I am guessing that their is corruption in a persistent desktop or finder database or cache. Is there any way to fix this?
Regards,
Mike

The only 'cache cleaning' software that i have is an old Aladdin Spring Cleaning app. But I rarely use it nowadays.

I tried downlaoding itunes on my Windows Vista and after it completes, the icon doesn't appear on my desktop. The itunes setup can be found just not the actual program.

I tried downloading itunes on my Windows Vista and after it completes, the icon doesn't appear on my desktop. When I search for the itunes under my programs, this is what shows: iTunes64Setup.

It did prompt me to run it. I apologize. I said save.
This is what happens, I run the iTunes64Setup, it downlods, says it has completed and then I click finish on the iTunes installer. After that, nothing comes up. Usually the program will start after it installs. There isn't an icon on my desktop either. When I go and search for iTunes under programs, only the iTunes64Setup appears. I am also having trouble downloading Adope Photoshop as well.

Comment note icon doesn't appear on underlined texts

Hi, I have been using Abobe Acrobat 9 Pro for some years now. Whenever I try to add a text note to underlined text there used to be a small icon appear on the top of underlined text indicating that underlined text has a comment attached to it.
Now ever since I have installed Adobe Acrobat XI Pro on Windows 8, the small comment note icon on underlined text doesn't appear anymore and this means that all the documents that I have created in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 won't show that in XI edition of Acrobat.
Instead, Acrobat XI Pro shows the comment note icon on highlighted text but not on the underlined line. So, How can I know if the underlined text has a comment if the icon doesn't appear over it? What can I do to solve this issue to continue using the product with the older document on which I have worked in Acrobat 9 Pro?

It doesn't help with comment icon so I'll try to be more clear as possible on issue:
As you can see, the yellow comment icon appears on the top of the highlighted line on the left but on the right where I underlined the text and added a comment, it doesn't show any icon indication so there's no way I can know if it has a comment on it unless I hover mouse cursor over it.

Quick Look sometimes doesn't switch to next image.

Hello, I have 10.6.4 snow leopard.
I have some folders with hundreds of images and one with a few thousand.
When I show a client a slideshow of the images in a folder it's fine. However, if I switch to the Quick Look (the "eye" icon) and use my arrow keys to manually click through images sometimes the larger image preview (QL) doesn't update to the next image.
I've had this problem for some time (even OS X Leopard) but I was able to just click backward one image, then forward... and it'd update. Now, however, I can get several images behind in that preview even if I leave it for several minutes to see if it's just lagging.
In reading other threads about QL I should note that although I've had this problem for a while it's been worse since: I restored my Macbook Pro from Time Machine after my logic board was replaced and since I've upgraded to Snow Leopard. The TM Restore was several months ago, the SL Upgrade was beginning of this month. The images in the folders are all JPG, less than screen resolution/size (eg. less than 1280x1024 or so). These same folders cycle through images just fine in the random screensaver mode, for what it's worth but that's not ideal for client presentation.
Thanks for your time.

I remembered that there had been a slight bug in the Leopard Quicklook, so that if you went to full-screen QL, then used Command-Tab to switch to another program, then Command-Tab back to Finder, you would be back in QL Full Screen, but you could now navigate with the arrow keys. At first I thought this had been fixed, and started mucking about with other key combos and accidently got it going again. Took awhile to figure out exactly what I had done, but it works like this:
1. Select your file, hit spacebar and click the full screen arrows
2. Command-tab to some other program
3. Mouse click the toolbar or sidebar of the open folder with your file in it
4. You can now navigate with the arrow keys
Although I don't really see how this is better or easier than opening the folder, hitting Command-A, then bringing up QL....

How can I change the quick look icons?

Hi guys!
Can anyone, please, tell me how to change the quick look display icons?
For example
- the music ones appear like a black square with a music symbol and if you want you can select it with the cursor and the play symbol would appear, I would like to change that black square icon but I can't find the file (.png or .icns) in any location.
or another example
- the NotLoaded icon is a Soft edges square with dashes and gaps as a frame... I would like to change that to a Circle shaped icon (same frame, just circle shaped)... but I can't find them in the directory or in any system coreservices...
or yet another example:
- Some or most PDFs in Finder tend to display it's content or first page on the file's icon and they are displayed as a sheet (portrait or landscape). Again I would like to reshape them to a Circle kind of page (I already have the icon files for it)...
Please help!
I promise to give points to however helps!!!

Hey Kaozzz,
If you copy the icon file to the clipboard, then you can get info on a particular item and change that items icon.
Just click on the icon, and press Command + V and it will replace it.
To change system icons:
WARNING: MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE MODIFYING THESE FILES.
IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO MODIFY SYSTEM FILES UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOURE DOING.
If you still want to though, here's how.
Find the folder manually by going here:
1. Open Finder.
2. Press Command + Shift + G and paste, /System/Library/CoreServices into the window that appears.
3. Locate the CoreTypes.bundle.
4. Right click (Ctrl click) the file and press Show Package Contents.
5. The path from there is Contents > Resources.
All the files will be available from there.
One of the files you were looking for is labeled NotLoaded.icns in that directory.
Hope that helped!

Time Capsule Disk Doesn't Appear in Finder or Disk Utility

I have a 500G Time Capsule (single band, I think) that I want to partition (just into disk images, not volumes) so that I can maintain separate-sized locations for my family's music library, photos, and Time Machine backups for the non-media files on each of a Mac Mini and 4 laptops. But I will ask more about that later.
My more immediate problem is that the Time Capsule Disk Volume generally just doesn't appear in my Finder or in Disk Utility at all. A couple weeks ago, for some reason, it did appear once and I took the opportunity to create a 215G Disk Image--leaving 250G for the rest of the Disk Volume which was indicated as having 465G rather than 500G actually available. But since then (as before) the Time Capsule volume hasn't appeared in Disk Utility at all, and only rarely in the Finder.
In the Finder the Time Capsule appears under the Shared heading in the left panel, with the Time Capsule disk volume appearing as a folder in the right panel (if it connects, which it usually requires a password for, but sometimes it doesn't...). If I open the folder then the right panel goes blank (indicating, I think, that I have opened the volume but there is nothing inside) and the volume (usually) eventually shows up under my own Mac in the Devices heading. (That is, the Time Capsule disk volume shows up along with Network, Macintosh HD, and Remote Disk in the right Finder panel when I select my Mac under Devices in the left Finder panel.) At that point the TC volume shows up in the Finder as a 220G Volume and the disk image shows up indented under it as a 215G Disk Image; indented under the Disk Volume there is also a 5G Sparsebundle file from a Time Machine backup. If I open the 220G Disk Volume in the right Finder panel then it shows only the 215G Disk Image and the 5G Sparsebundles in the right Finder panel. This seems to suggest that the 215G Disk Image and the 5G Sparsebundles are both treated as 'used' and the 220G size given for the Disk Volume represents what is left (although 215+5+220=440, so where the extra 25G went I don't know).
If I open the 215G Disk Image in the right Finder panel then, after a while, it shows up as a Disk Image in the right Finder panel when my Mac is selected under Devices in the left panel. I can create folders in the Disk Image and copy documents to those folders, at least.
But in any case, regardless of whether I open the 220G Disk Volume or the 215 Disk Image in the Finder, the Disk Volume never appears in Disk Utility so there is no possibility of reformatting it. The 215 Disk Image has sometimes shown up in Disk Utility (and once it apparently allowed me the option of partitioning the Disk Image into further Disk Images), but sometimes it doesn't show up and I haven't been able to figure out why it does or doesn't.
I find this all very confusing and the Finder and Disk Utility behavior seems downright erratic. I'm not sure whether something is broken or if I just don't understand how it works (starting with the difference between the Devices and Shared headings in the left Finder Pane). I would appreciate any advice on how I can reliably access the Time Capsule disk volume in the Finder and Disk Utility. Thanks.

Same problem after 10.8.2 update yesterday,
Time Machine functions but disk does not mount in finder.
The disk also shows up in disk utility when TM is running
as mounted (beneath a sparse image file) but not visible.
Is this a bug, or a feature?

Can't remove iPhone from My Apple ID because it doesn't appear in Find My iPhone

I gave away my iPhone 5. It is now associated with someone else's Apple ID. It does not appear in Find My iPhone, but it DOES show up in My Apple ID. And so Apple wants to send verification codes to it.
I confirmed with the current owner that it is backed up and Find My iPhone is enabled. (But I'm sure it's associated with her Apple ID.)
The support documents suggest that the only way to remove it is from Find My iPhone. Is it now impossible to ever remove it from my Apple ID, since it doesn't appear there? Or is there some secret way to accomplish this?

My Ipod nano's charging icon doesn't appear

since i got my ipod nano 4gb, 4 days ago i have noticed that when I plug in my it into my computer to charge, I don't see the green battery icon, instead I get the DO NOT DISCONNECT red circle. No matter how long its plugged in, that icon doesn't go away. Why?
Thanks

If you have your iPod set to transfer your music manually, then that “do not disconnect” message will continue to be displayed on your iPod until you manually eject it.
You can do this by clicking on the little eject icon next to the iPod listing in the source window of iTunes, or right click on it and select “eject”. There is also an iPod 'eject' icon in the lower right hand corner of iTunes. Another way would be to use the “safely remove hardware” icon in the system tray next to the clock (looks like a grey rectangle with a green arrow above it). Click on this then select your iPod. Or through Windows, select start/my computer, right click on the iPod, select eject. With a Mac, drag the iPod into the trash.
If you have your iPod set to automatically sync with iTunes version 7 or later, connect the iPod and when you see the summary screen, uncheck the box marked "enable disk use".
If you are using an earlier version of iTunes, right click on the iPod in the source list, select options and uncheck the same box.
In future your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished transferring music.

Device no longer appears in finder window

When I connect a memory card from a camera to the computer using a card reader connected to a USB port, what used to happen is it would automatically launch iPhoto for possibly importing some or all of the pictures and would the card would also appear as a "device" in the left hand column of the Finder window. This latter would allow files to be copied off the card to some other location in the computer.
Unfortunately, when I was trying to copy a file off the card, I inadvertently dragged the listing out of the finder window and got a mini-explosion sound effect and puff of smoke same as when you remove an icon from the dock. And the card was no longer listed as a device.
I have tried rebooting the computer. I have done a spotlight search looking for the memory card. Nothing.
Now, when I attach the memory card using the card reader connected to a USB port, iPhoto still launches automatically and iPhoto still recognizes all the pictures on the card. However it no longer appears in the device list in the Finder window. If I go into system profiler, it too recognizes the card and lists it as a device connected to the particular usb port. But I can't find a way to open the card other than importing into iPhoto.
So, the question is, how do I get the device to once again appear in the device list in the Finder window the way it is supposed to?

Open the Finder's preferences and select the "Sidebar" tab. Try checking things in the "Devices" category. If there is a check in the category that you think would apply to that device, try unchecking it, close the preferences window, open it again, and check that item again.

External Hard Drives Do Not Appear in Finder Window

I have 3 Lacie d2 external hard drives that do not show up in the Finder window of my 17" Power Book G4 (1Ghz/2GB SDRAM/160GB HD). The only way I can access them is to double click the icons that appear normally on the desktop.

I believe to be having the exact same issue, or at least something very similar. I am using Intel Mac Mini as my dedicated Music Server, with 2 external hard drives.
On my iOmega 500GB HDD MiniMax hard drive I have complete iTunes ripped CD library and the second hard drive is Western Digital 500GB HDD I have set up as the Time Machine backup of the iOmega MiniMax drive.
After tonight's automatic software update my Mac Mini got restarted and after that my iOmega MiniMax hard drive (containing the whole iTunes library of about 5000+ uncompressed songs) is not visible in Finder nor on Desktop anymore!
Disk Utility sees it mounted. It verifies and repairs OK with no issues reported.
When I use Terminal and do 'ls /Volumes' iOmega MiniMax drive is listed normally with all my volumes.
When in Finder and chose "Go-> Go to Folder Lists" it is shown as well.
iTunes and Front Row still work and play all of my music as before which means that the iOmega drive is still visible to those applications.
However Time Machine for this drive doesn't work anymore though, although I believe it still might be backing up the drive somehow since I see them both blinking after I rip couple of new CDs and add it to my iTunes library.
Did anybody solve this issue? It is scary and somehow it is my huge dissapointment in Mac OS X and the whole Mac "user friedliness".
BTW never had these elementary issues with my 3 laptops running Vista.
