Shuffled icons on desk top.  How reverse?

Hit option and command keys then 2 to open full page ilnternet screen.  Forgot I wasn't in Safari and the icons on my desk top scrambled.  Can I reverse this action with key strokes?

If you drag a link or favicon on the left end of the location bar onto the desktop to create an internet shortcut then that shortcut gets the icon of the default browser.
If you want a different icon (favicon) then you have to assign that icon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click: Properties).
You can usually get the favicon if you append "favicon.ico" to the main domain of a website (e.g. http://www.mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder or see if you can find it in "Tools > Page Info > Media".

    Drag the Word icon back to where it belongs.
    Applications > Microsoft Office 2011 > Put Word there.
    I'm assuming you have Office 2011. If you have 2008 there should be a similar location to put Word.

    after i designed a website for desk top how do i save the site for cell phone use

    I don't think you can simply save a desktop design as a cell phone design.  While in Muse and in the site plan view for you website you should see three tabs near the top of the page.  If you click the "Phone" tab, you will get a pop-up dialog box asking which element you would like to copy over from your desktop site (if any).  You must then design the site for cell phone use.  You can use the same objects, pictures, etc. from your desktop site and Muse should automatically optimize those elements for phone use.  However, Muse does not automatically take a desktop design and create a cell phone design from it. 
    As I understand it, Muse uses user-agent detection to decide which site it wants to display to the user. You however, need to create the different versions of your site so that Muse can apply a specific design for the intended use.

    Additionally, please be aware that unless that photo is at least the size of your desktop (in pixels), you will most likely get a fuzzy and/or pixelated image. It is easy to make pictures smaller, but making them larger will mostly end up with a not-so-perfect result. So, you should check your desktop size (Displays Pane in Sustem Preferences, then check which resolution is highlighted - that is your desktop size in pixels. Now check your photo to make sure it is the same size, or almost as large or larger.

    Read FAQ's but did not see how I was to proceed to restore the data in the Old FireFox Data folder on my desktop. It should hold all of my bookmarks, passwords and other data that I would like to recover into this new install of FireFox.

  • All of a sudden I am not able to reposition icons on desk  top by dragging. Why?

    I have always been able to reposition items  e.g. folders on my desktop. Suddenly I am not able  to move them. Why?.. Mountain Lion , OSX 10.8.5.
    Thank you

    Hello tufo,
    It may be that your Desktop view options are set to sort icons on your desk.
    You can change the size of icons, arrange them in a grid, and set other preferences for items on your desktop by changing the view options on your desktop. To change your desktop view options, click the desktop, and then choose View > Show View Options from menu bar. You can try the different settings to see which ones you like—you will immediately see the effects of your changes.

  • I have a new Mac PC but my IPod touch ITunes account was on my old desk top, how do I get all my music on my new MAC? It appears I might have 2 ITunes accounts which is why my IPod is not synching all the songs, please help.

    I have a new MAC PC with an old IPod Touch that was synch to my old desktop, how do I get the new music on my new MAC if I might have had an old account?

    The article in my previous reply said:
    - Transfer iTunes purchases from iPod to computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - For non-Tunes purchases you need to use a third-party program. Several are discussed in the link in my previous reply
    - Then to sync with the new computer after getting all synced media like apps and music on the new computer yo have to backup the iPod to iTunes and restore from that backup
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
