TV Shows Icon Disappeared!

My TV shows Icon disappeared. I reset my cable modem, router, and did an Apple TV restart, not the dreaded reset all.
All is good. Reading other posts here, others have been losing Apple TV icons. Some say it's another server side issue.
I have no idea if what I did solved the problem, or if it was just coincidence?
Anyway, all is good now!

Yes, there are quite a few reports on the forum of the same issue, although no mention of the issue on the Apple Status page. It seems to be a widespread iTunes issue.

Apple TV 3: TV Shows icon missing

Hello, as I was looking at the home screen of my Apple TV 3 (with latest software, 5.1.1 (5433)) the TV Shows icon disappeared. This happened just a few moments ago.
I now only have Movies, Music, Computers and Settings on the top row of icons.
I live in the UK and I am using an iTunes UK account.
I have tried restarting the Apple TV, and signing out and back in to my iTunes account but neither action has fixed the problem.
Any suggestions?

Is it possible any of you rented a movie within the last 48 hours?
I rented a movie for the first time ever yesterday then an hour or 2 ago when I went into movies it only showed that rental.
I rebooted then it showed the rest of my movies but still no TV shows.
Wonder if the rental I did has anything to do with the issue at the moment.

Home sharing icon disappears on PC and Mac

In my house, we've been using home sharing between a PC (Windows 7), a Mac (OS X 10.8.2), and two iPad 2s with no issues for several months. It was working as recently as 23 Dec 12. Now, two days later, it is not working on the PC or the Mac, but it is still working on the iPads. When we turn home sharing on, the home sharing icon shows in the sidebar, but as soon as we put in the login and password and click "Done," the home sharing icon disappears. The Mac and PC are linked up, as we can see the shared library in the "Finder" on the Mac, but it is inaccessible from iTunes.
We've tried all the trouble-shooting we can find online, including disabling the IPv6 on the PC, but still nothing. Any suggestions to get this working again would be appreciated!

How do you access the HD from both Mac and PC?
I do this but only by network not direct hookup.
If you are plugging the HD into one or the other I may have a solution for you.
I have all my photos in folders organized the way I want them.
Then I set iPhoto to NOT import the files when I add them.
Preferences > Advanced > make sure the selection of "Importing: Copy items to the iPhoto Library" is not selected.
That way the photos (files) will stay where you put them and the data in iPhoto will still organize and do it's thing on them.
And if you modify a photo with say Photoshop the new file seems to automatically update in the preview of iPhoto.
Works great for me.
Here is what I have been doing...
1. When I got my MAC, I copied all of my pictures from my PC onto a portable HD (WD passport).
2. Then I attached it to the MAC and used iPhoto.
3. I added new photos only to the passport HD and edited them in iPhoto.
What I was _planning / hoping_ to do is move those photos back to the PC for use in other applcations. But apparently the editted photos aren't on the HD anyway, but on the MAC (in the iPhoto library.)
But I understand that using a referenced library is not a great idea.
(Also, initially I did copy some photos into iPhoto and apparently having a both managed AND a referenced set of files is DOUBLY bad!)
So what I need to do now is fix whatever I "broke" and get a plan to go forward!

Dashboard question and my app store icon disappeared...

I was looking at the dashboard widgets to download and I found a game to download. Once I downloaded it and opened up my dashboard, all I see is the game. All my other icons are behind the game and I can't see them. I don't know how to make the game screen smaller like the other icons or even delete it.
I am very new to owning my first Mac, so I put in the Mac OS Install DVD and after it finished downloading, my app store icon disappeared. There is a question mark in the place that was my app store icon. How do I fix that?
Thanks!

Did you reinstall the software from the dvd? It sound like you are now running an os that is under 10.6.6.
Click on the apple icon in the menu bar and select "about this mac"
That will show you the os version you are running now. You need to have 10.6.6 and above to have the app store installed.
In this case all you have to do is run a software update and download the lattest os update which should be 10.6.8.

Can't airplay movies - icon disappears when movie starts in iTunes

Hi guys. Had this problem for a little while now. I'm running iTunes 11.4 on Windows 8.1 and an Apple TV in another room. I've had no problems until recently. Anything but movies will play perfectly to the Apple TV. But the second I start a movie, the icon disappears, and iTunes starts acting like there's suddenly no Apple TV. Then when I exit the movie the icon reappears as quick as it went. Even for example I would go from streaming music perfectly, straight into playing a movie. Still the same. No amount of restarts or re-installations on both devices has solved the problem yet.

iTunes prefs > Store.
Tick Show iTunes in the cloud Purchases.

Here comes the/my solution:
Remove Sophos Antivirus
Thanks to boojum's remarks in https://discussions.apple.com/message/15480849#15480849 !
Don't forget to use Sophos' deinstall package: /Macintosh HD/Library/Sophos Anti-Virus/Remove Sophos Anti-Virus.pkg
Nevertheless, some settings have been re-initialized (no complete list!):
- Dock
- Language has been reset to English only
- Expose & Spaces
(- probably all personal settings?)

All third party icons disappear Yosemite

While I'm editing my bookmarks in Safari all the third-party icons disappear from the menu bar. In fact they did not stop working but they just disappeared.
I tried to relaunch the Finder but without any result.
I fixed this issue only by logging out of my account.
Does anyone know what may cause this problem?

Same problem starting today except the icons are not working at all other than tool tips showing when I hover over where they should be.

The audio book icon disappeared

I have 2 related problems. First, the audio book icon disappeared from my iPod nano. Second, when I add audio books to my iPod using iTunes (even when I had the audio book icon) it puts the audio books in with music and then the books won't play in order. This means that I can't listen to the books from the beginning to the end and I have to try to hunt for the next chapter.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

You don't have to make a playlist. I was checking if you did a create a playlist which might have led to it showing in music app. Check to make sure the media kind is audio books. You can do this by:
Right click on audio book -> Get info -> Info. Here make sure the media kind is audiobook.
Hope this helps!

Dock icons disappear when quitting apps

This is a brand new 1.9 GHz 17" iMac G5 with iSight built-in.
Software is up to date with OS 10.4.3 and all patches.
While working with the owner today, I quit Safari, and watched the Safari icon disappear from the dock. No smoke no nothing--when the App closed, the icon vanished.
Then I tried to demo iChat--and had the same experience.
It isn't a problem to drag the apps back to the Dock, but it shouldn't have to be done.
I finally wound up launching/quitting all Apps - all finally behaved properly, at least today.
Ideas on what's happening and how to prevent?

Ohairy, I'd guess that it was a corrupt plist. ~/library/preferences/com.apple.dock.plist.
Create a new account, name it "test" and see how the Dock icons work in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.)
If the Dock icons function normally in the new user, I'd delete the plist and rebuild the Dock icons.
If other "odd" issues begin to show up it may indicate hardware problems with added ram, cpu or hard disk. Run Disk Repair & AHT (Apple Hardware Test).

I'm in Sydney, Australia with a new Apple TV. why can't I get the TV shows icon and content?

Got it for xmas (latest small black version), just set it up and I had a full 3 bars of content to choose from including an icon for TV shows. However after about 5 mins or more that icon disappeared. I restored the Apple TV. Same thing happened.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
There are reports of TV Shows missing from users screens, initially it looked like this might be an issue in the UK only, but it may well be more widespread. It appears to be an issue that can't be fixed by the user, you will need to wait until this is resolved by Apple.

Safari and mail icons disappear

The Safari and Mail icons keep disappearing from the dock on my iMac. I've dragged them back from the Applications folder, and they disappear again within seconds. If I open the applications from the Apllications Folder, the icons appear on the right side of the dock. Then, as soon as I close the applications the icons disappear. I've deleted the dock preferences file, and i"ve also disabled dock synching from Mobile Me, but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions ?

Have you checked all your homescreens and app folders for them, and do they show on the iPad's spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right and type in Safari or Mail) ?
Safari can be hidden via Settings > General > Restrictions > Safari being 'off', so you could check that as well.
If you still can't find then try a reset and see if you can find them after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot
There is also Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout which will reset the layout of your apps and might make it easier to find them.

Hard Disc Icon Disappeared

Titanium PowerBook, 1 GHz, OS 10.4.11
My hard disc icon has disappeared from the desktop and the sidebar of Finder windows. The only places I can see it are in the Disc Utility and occasionally when saving from some apps, and then it's often greyed out so I can't access it. I've made sure that the Finder prefs are set to show hard discs, and my external disc does show - it's only the internal drive. CD and DVD icons all show.
I've run Disc Utility off the install disc and did a repair because it found a problem. Repair was successfully verified but didn't bring the icon back.
Also reset the PRAM with no change.
Also changed the icon using CandyBar thinking that maybe the icon itself was corrupted. No luck.
The computer runs fine but occasionally I use that part of the disc that's higher up than my User folder and that's the source of frustration. Also worried that it may be a sign of the drive failing. It's the 2nd drive I've had in this computer, about 3 years old now.
Any thoughts on this anyone? Ideas to bring back my icon (and access)?
Thanks!

I had my Macintosh HD icon disappear from my Desktop & Finder as New Years Day present! I tried the Finder preferences & deleting the com.apple.desktop.plist file which made no difference. Fortunately the Applescript reference above at http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/invisible.html fixed it straight away.
Have a great 2009

Desktop - Icons Disappeared, Can't Right-Click

Hello,
I installed Leopard about a week ago (installed right over; not fresh install) onto my MacBook Pro, and everything was working fine until yesterday: all the icons on my Desktop (Macintosh HD, various folders and documents) disappeared, and I can't right-click/control-click the Desktop. I can still access the Macintosh HD and other files and folders through Finder, I just can't seem to get them to show up on the Desktop anymore. I'm fairly new to Macs in general, so I don't know if this is a feature that I accidently turned on or is this a bug or..?
Any ideas? Has this happened to anyone else?
Regards,
Derek

I ran into the same thing, did an upgrade on my MBP, a week later my desktop icons disappeared. I ended up downloading the trial version of Cocktail (http://www.maintain.se/cocktail/index.php). Under Ineterface-->Finder-->"Hide the desktop" was checked. I must have accidentally done this but did not know how to undo it. Hope this helps.
