Seeking to restore a selection "desktop" in the left-hand column

Getting 'help' is consistantly hard. This is another case where Help should be easy to an quick to find under "help" troubleshooting in iPhoto. In order to get to this support community I must first get a new apple password because i most certainly did not forget the current one, having recently been forced to make a new password on these dates 9/18/13 - 11/1/13 - 11/30/13 - 1/27/14 - and again today 2/24/14 each time writing down the new forced password as I did the with the dates as you can see. Leaving open the question What is a password?
Next seeking help is also needlessly difficult because I cannot cut and paste the question from previous failed attempts to get help instead having to retype each time. The original question I am after is:
Using iPhoto The selection 'Desktop' went missing from where it has been on the left side column under the title 'Library'. This choice 'desktop' is the item I use the most. Looking under 'Help' I see there is a way to delete but no way to restore or create the selection Desktop which opened a screen showing the current contents of my desktop for further selections.

Are you referring the the Desktop entry in the left hand pane of a Finder window?
as there is no Desktop item in the left hand pane of iPhoto and never has been.

  • My ipod is not showing up in the left hand column on itunes. I have tried the trouble shooting methods but nothing is working. My ipod nano also will not play.

    My ipod nano is not showing up in the left hand column of itunes. It says connected on the ipod and I can find it in my computer but its not there on itunes. I need it as I want to restore it to factory settings. I have tried the troubleshooting methods that are on the Apple website but no luck.
    Also my ipod is not playing. I found a way to upload all my music to my new computer. I followed a guide given to me on wiki and it worked. However, since then I cannot get the ipod to play. The menu is there, it turns on, all the playlists are visable but when I press play it does nothing or flicks briefly on to the page to play but then flicks back to the list again. I have tried all the troubleshooting on the Apple website but again nothing. I wanted to restore it to factory settings but to do this you have to be able to access the ipod in the left column on itunes which obviously I can't do. That was happening before the ipod stopped working. The two issues are separate.
    Thanks and hope you can help me.

    I have sorted it myself!!
    Ipod is now in the top right corner, last time I clicked on it, it ejected it but by clicking on the actual ipod icon then it brings up your ipod. I restored it to factory settings and synced all my music and it now works again. Hope this can help anyone who ends up with the same problem.

  • HT1386 I just got an iphone 4 and when I go to sync it, it appears in the left hand column but when I click on it there is just a blank screen with the apply logo and a tiny lock.

    I just got an iphone 4 and when I go to sync it, it appears in the left hand column but when I click on it there is just a blank screen with the apply logo and a tiny lock.

    OK, I think I fixed it.
    After trying to restore with an old backup from the phone (it estimated it would take 4 hours) I cancelled and went through the setup menus again, but set it up as a new phone. It then appeared in iTunes and I restored it from the computer, not the phone. It appears to be working, it's syncing my old apps right now.
    Summary:
    1. Reset settings on phone (hopefully you backed up fairly recently)
    2. Set up as NEW iPhone in setup menu on phone
    3. Restore from iTunes on computer when it recognizes the phone
    4. Cross fingers

  • When using mail on my ipad, can I hide the left hand column so it is easier to read the mail

    Can the left Hand column be hidden when using an ipad for mail?

    If you holding iPad in landscape orientation then no, if you hold it in portrait then the list of emails/folders should automatically hide when you select an email

  • When my I tunes Match has been downloaded but when i open I Tunes I do not see it in the left hand column. I have to go to I tunes store about and click on it.

    When my I tunes Match has been downloaded but when i open I Tunes I do not see it in the left hand column. I have to go to I tunes store about and click on it.

    When the match process is not running iTunes match will not be present in the side bar, this is normal behavior.
    If you go to store in the iTunes menu bar you should see "Turn off iTunes match" and "update iTunes match".
    When the match process runs, after you have restarted iTunes, or manually selected update iTunes match it will re-appear in your sidebar.

  • How can I create a document with two columns in which the text in the left hand column flows to the left column on page 2,3 etc, and doesn't interfere with the text I want to place in the right? Pages 5.

    I'm using pages 5 and want to comment in a right hand column, on a (latin) text which I wish to place in a left hand column.
    Ideally I'd like to be able to copy and paste the latin text and see it flow over into the left hand column on multiple pages.
    At the moment it is impossible for me to keep the text only in the left hand column Any help!?

    Columns do what columns do, flow from the bottom of the left hand column to the top of the right hand next column. So won't do what you want.
    Your tag says you are using OS X 10.5.8 but you say you are using Pages 5 so one or the other is not correct.
    If you migrated up to Pages 5 what did you do with your previous Pages '08 or '09?
    Because Pages 5 is missing over 100 features, one of which is Textbox linking, that would allow to flow down through a series of Textboxes set up like columns.
    What you can do is run the Latin text down a narrow document to the left and add individual Textboxes to the right and put your English translations in those. The Latin will flow but the English will not.

  • When I try to sync my apps to itunes nothing appears in the left hand column and i can't sync or remove them...why?

    When I try to sync my apps to itunes a pop up appears that says itunes will no longer sync apps to my ipod. Then it gives me an option to either keep my apps or remove them. No matter what i press nothing happens either way. None of my apps ever appear in the left-hand column either. Why is that ?

    What about the answer to my other question:
    Is this the computer you synced with last time?

    Hi Patrick,
    Yes, a very frusterating issue indeed. Someone else had mentioned a possible issue with real player, I tried getting rid of that and same issues. I even got completely rid of firefox for the moment. Guess what, problem still is persisting. I think this means it maybe something else altogether. I will go back to re-add firefox after I get this straightened out but now using Chrome for the moment.
    What I've also found out is that the sound can be restarted when I unplug and replug in the 3.5mm speaker cable from the audio output jack on the back of the computer. Any ideas?
    Thanks!

  • HT1296 "Device" isn't even listed on the left hand column of my iTunes to be able to copy songs onto my iPod nano. What do I do?

    The "device" category is not listed on the left hand column of my iTunes to transfer my playlist from my MacBook to my iPod nano. When I plug the nano in the Mac, nothing different happens either. What do I do? The Help option doesn't explain what to do if the Device listing isn't there.

  • TS4083 when I receive an email, I get the 5 line outline in the left hand column but the ipad does not open the full message.

    I have an ipad 2.
    Recently, when I receive an email ( hotmail) the 5 line preview message appears in the left hand column as it should but the full message is not displayed.

    Don't know if this is related, but the iCloud servers have been having message delivery issues effecting some users for quite a while today (see http://www.apple.com/asia/support/systemstatus/).  Perhaps it started effecting some users several days ago.

  • My bookmarks in the left hand column are gone and default is at top how do I get back to what it was

    started firefox as normal bookmarks on the left are gone how do I get them back

    Using System Restore can cause your Firefox installation to get corrupted because only white-listed files are restored, so always be cautious with using System Restore.
    *You may lose data in the Firefox profile folder like .js and .ini files
    *You may need to reinstall affected software
    Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
    *Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.
