Re: Why do I see TWO identical hd icons in Finder?

Recently had to recreate another admin account due to Finder issue. Once it was set up and all my data transfered, I deleted it. I can't think of any other recent event that might have caused this.
Is there a way to delete one of them?

Thanks, Joseph. I didn't even think to drag it out of window! Only thought the dock had that feature.

Why do I see two profile pics on the welcome screen?

When I restart or power up my laptop, I eventually arrive at the Welcome to Windows sign on screen. On that screen I see two of my profile images side by side while I'm being signed in. I'm not sure why. I only have one profile. Is
this a bug or is there something I can do about it?

Yep, that was it! I removed the auto login and it showed only a single image.
May I ask how you provided feedback on this issue? I'd like to do that as well, but I'm not sure how. Please let me know.
Karen
search feedback on start menu or taskbar search.
you can also locate feedback app at start menu -> all apps., feedback app is also pinned on live tiles by default.

Why do i have two identical internal hard rive in my MAC? It makes my laptop very slow

My Mac book Pro is very slow since a few weeks. I decided to investigate. When i look in Disk Utility, i see two internal hard drive! The first one is almost full (18 Mo free on 800 Go). The second one is half full (this one is the one i see when i click on About this Mac, 400 Go free on 800 Go). I guess the first one is the one that make my computer so slow. Does anybody knows how this can happen ? What can i do for it ? It seems like the second one is a part of the first one.
Thanks !

OS X 10.10 Yosemite
If you see 2 Macintosh HDs when you check Disk Utility, that is normal on OS X 10.10.Yosemite.
It is the Core Storage and Volume Manager technology in action.
There is no Knowledge Base Article from Apple about this yet.

Why do I see two iCloud - Notes in my iMac Notes application?

When I start my Notes application on my iMac 27, I am now seeing the following in the left hand column for the Notes window:
All Notes
iCloud
Notes
iCloud
Notes
If I click on the first "Notes" under the first iCloud item, nothing appears.
If I click on the second "notes" under the second iCloud item, all my notes appear.
This does not happen on any of my other Apple devices (two MBPs, and iPhone 4S)
Any ideas?
Jim P.

Also, I did notice that when I'm connected to wifi, my notes appear from the 2nd "notes" but if I am syncing with my cellular then the notes (empty) appear from the 1st "notes".
How is this dependant on wifi or cellular?

Why Do I have Two Identical folders in my music Library?

Hi.
I have a music folder with 1200 songs.
I created a single compilation on itunes (ver.11) and everything was ok until i decided to put that compilation folder to my iPhone 5.
Now I have 2 folders of the same compilation on my iphone music app. The songs was not splitted in the 2 folders: every folder has the same number of tracks (1200 songs).
Itunes copied the music on my iPhone but it didn't copied the files twice, cuz i have checked the amount of space on my iPhone.
I think it depends on how many songs are in the same folder.
someone can tell me the max number of song on the same folder?
I tried to split the folder in 2 with 600 song but i got the same prob: 1 folder was ok, the other folder with ALL music track from the 2 different folders! (I name the folders (Best Of 01, and Best Of 02).
Any ideas?
Someone know how to fix this? I just want 1 folder and not 2 identical folders!
(sorry for my bad english: i dunno if I write everything in a proper way)

It may be "normal" but it is not acceptable.
Lets say I have four folders that I sync from my PC to my iPhone. iTunes then creates four folders on my iPhone with the actual photos and presumbaly the same folder names that are on my PC. Then iTunes creats another folder with pointers to all the photos, well the synced photos, not the camera roll. (Why not the camera roll too if this is such a great feature) Yes I am so dumb that I can't figure out which folder has the picture I want (even though my folder names are descriptive of the contents; Family, Friends, Work, Hot Dude's) so I go to this catch all folder to find my picture.
All it is is CLUTTER, this, like so many other bugs (poor features), should be left to the user to decide, not Apple. I don't want it there and I defenitely don't need it there.

Why do I see two copies of every photo when I sync my iPhone or iPad with iPhoto?

Whenever i plug in my iPhone to sync, iPhoto automatically opens.
There are always two copies of every photo I have taken since my last sync. I have to throw one out before syncing.
Why is that?

Why do I see two different versions of a website on Firefox and Internet Explorer? The version on Firefox is an older version of the website.

I use Intuit to maintain a website. After I update the website, Firefox continues to display the previous version while the revised version is displayed on Internet Explorer. I have tried using both Firefox and Internet Explorer when I revise the website, but that does not appear to make any difference. The version on Firefox usually updates to the new version with in a day or two, but the change on Internet Explorer is immediate.

Does anybody know why I can see two times on my lock screen? The right time then a wrong one in the background behind it?

Can anyone help please?

The only thing behind my lock screen clock is my lock screen wall-paper. Do you have a different wall-paper set for your lock screen than what you have set for your home screen?

Why cant I see my external hard disk on finder?

I disconnected mt external backup disk without ejecting it first, now it doesn't show in Finder when I connect it. Is there anything I can do?

On a Windows system, on boot up it would say something like -- this disk is damaged and must be repaired. With Mac it just doesn't mount. As Axeman1020 says, I'd try turning the disk off, waiting 30 seconds, turning it on, bringing up Disk Utility and seeing if the external disk is visible. if so, I'd try a repair, or at least a check.
It's rare that the disk would be unrepairable. If it was disconnected while writing during a power surge like a nearby lightning strike, there could be actual damage to the disk and then you might be in trouble. It could be worse, it could be the internal disk/SSD.

Why cant i see previews of my DNG in finder (on Mac), I can see previews of my original raw camera files but not when I use lightroom to convert to DNG.

s

I am guessing that Apple is responsible for DNG decoding, now, rather than Adobe, although Adobe should still be responsible for keeping their website up-to-date, and not have dead-end pages without any explanation.
From what I remember, there were some cameras with lens corrections built-in that Apple refuses to show DNG previews of—the DNG Version was too new, but it wouldn’t hurt to check and see if there is a Apple Camera update in case they have fixed this.

Why do I see other users when I open Finder? Devices, Shared, Places...

When I see "shared" and a user's name is listed, I assume they cannot see my files - but rather - they are only listed on the 'network' as a user that is in the area...is that correct?

If this is your own private home network, then they are a user on your network.
That most likely means they are using your network and internet connection.
If you are password protected they can't see your files but real hackers can blow through most passwords.
You might consider changing your network to require a password to use your network.
This will stop others from using your network and your bandwidth on the internet.
Edit:
If this not your network and is a network on the road then it is normal to see other users on the network.

HT4310 why can I see a battery charging icon on one computer when my 4th generation ipod is connected, but not on another computer ?

I have a fourth generation ipod. when I plug it into my windows 7 pc at work, the battery charge icon appears. when i plug the same ipod into my windows 7 pc at home, no battery charging icon appears. any way to get it to show?

Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port at home? Do you have any other devices that are connected via USB on your PC at home?
I assume you are using the same cable you used to plug the Shuffle in at work?

If I drag and drop ripped songs out of itunes why do I get two files appearing

hi
wondering why I see two files (that appear identical in name) appear when I drag and drop previously ripped songs out of my itunes library. For example I've noticed this when I drag and drop songs on to the desktop and then I drag them from there on to my portable music player.
the duplicares only appear once files are placed on to portable player, not on desktop ot even memory card that one of my players use
both files have the same extension (eg aiff or m4a)
only one will play
why do I see two?
why does only one play?
does the 2nd (phantom) file take up space?
any ideas?
cheers

Never import one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
The only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager
Best way forward: Restore your back ups to the point before you did this and start over using Library Manager

When I synch a file "best photos" via iTunes to my iPhone I get two identical files - "best photos" and Photo library. I don't know why

When I synch a file "best photos" via iTunes to my iPhone I get two identical files - "best photos" and Photo library. I don't know why

All photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync process are stored in the iPhone's Photo Library.
When transferring multiple albums or a single album, the photos in the albums below are not duplicated as in taking double the storage capacity for the photos. Photos in an album or albums below include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library.
This way you can view the photos in an album only by selecting the album, or all photos in all albums by selecting Photo Library. Makes more sense when transferring multiple photo albums from your computer but the same applies when transferring a single album or folder of photos.
The same applies to iTunes playlists. A song placed in a playlist is not duplicated.
