Upgrading to Yosemite SD card icon no longer on desktop

Both with upgrade and clean install (imported old settings) of Yosemite on a MBP 15" retina, after install my SD card no longer shows on the desktop.
It mounts ok, and is accessible via finder.
The preferences for finder are set to show everything, both on the desktop and side bar.
It only appears in the side bar and via finder, but it used to appear on the desktop - this is a permanently inserted cut down SD - (jetDrive), and I usually access it fro the desktop, so its quite annoying!
The main HD, and my external USB drives all appear on the desktop still.
Any ideas?

I have the jumpers set as follows: original hard drive as master-jumper vertically to far left; hard drive that is not accessible (Macintosh HD1) jumper positioned horizontally-top row-offset one row past left as diagramed on the hard drive exterior; 3rd hd connected to pci card with ata connection-jumper vertically to far left. After nothing else has resolved the issue Disk Warrior is something I have considered.

After upgrading to Yosemite, my Exchange calendar no longer syncs to iCal (the Apple calendar). Help?

After upgrading to Yosemite, my Exchange calendar no longer syncs to iCal (the Apple calendar). Help?

That's not the point.    Before iCloud, Outlook synched with Apple Calendar and/or iCal.    With iCloud, Cal syncs with iPhone and other devices.     Outlook doesn't have to sync with iCloud (although that would certainly be nice).   It just has to continue to sync with Cal, which in turn syncs with devices via iCloud.
But for some inane reason, it doesn't.    If this is Apple's way of forcing people to not use Office and only use Calendar and Apple Mail, they are going to stop the gains they've made in business environments.   Businesses, especially large businesses, use Outlook.   End of story.
Furthermore, Apple's instructions for setting up or deleting iCal and iCloud accounts is complete gibberish. And I'm a tech who has been working with computers for 32 years.   Apple used to be great at making things easy. They now suck at it and are just as bad as Microsoft.

Hard Drive (Internal) no longer accessible, icon no longer on desktop!

I was in the process of switching startup disks, which I have done on occasion previously without incident, then the drive was stuck on the startup screen, I pressed the restart button on the front of the computer and have not been able to access the drive since. The icon for that drive no longer appears on my desktop. I have attempted Mucho different things to retrieve the drive to no avail :
1. disk util from internal drive
2. disk util from Tiger DVD install disk
3. TERMINAL Application
4. PMU reset
5. NvRAM reset
6. Removing DRAM then replacing the same memory cards
7. Moving the hard drives around to different bays within the tower
Disk Utility reads (-9972) error when attempting to repair. TERMINAL App. responds with INVALID NODE STRUCTURE VOLUME CHECK FAILED. System profiler does recognize the drive though I currently have no access to the drive.
Drive has many very important files which I had not yet back-upped! I feel like I'm the next person in the group circle to state my name and admit I have a problem not taking disk back-up seriously.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated before, if necessary, shelling out mucho dinero$ for disk repair and file retrieval.

Icons no longer fit desktop

Why do icons and shortcuts suddenly no longer stay in their old locations on my desktop. It is as if the keep out zone suddenly got bigger. How do I get them back where I want them?

Trusteer Rapport icon no longer appears in address bar since upgrading to Firefox 9.

I used to have Firefox 7 and the Trusteer Rapport icon used to appear in the address bar.
Now I have upgraded to Firefox 9 the icon no longer appears, which is annoying.

Are you running the latest version of Trusteer Rapport? If not, update. Old Trusteer Rapport versions are known to be buggy with previous versions of Firefox. If that doesn't fix your issue, try Trusteer Rapport support too.

Can't use ch340g serial port driver since upgrading to Yosemite on MacBook air

I use my MacBook air with the Arduino 1.0.6 IDE. Since upgrading ( free upgrade) to Yosemite. I can no longer acess the ch340g serial port. (does not show up in arduino ide). I tried re-installing the driver. I get no errors and am told the install was successful. This was working very nicely before the upgrade. I now have three boards I cannot use. I am at a loss as to what I should do. I suppose I could go back to Maverick but then I would have to go buy the operating system. This seems wrong to me. I was offered an upgrade that then leaves me up the creek without a paddle. Any help given would be highly appreciated.

I have the same problem, a non stable CM341 serial to tty driver on Yosemity on a MacbookPro Retina.
I followed the advice of Rsattaur, I executed the command: sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1" and now I have big problems with my USB-ports.
The result is a screen-of-death after connecting anything to my USB-ports!!!!

Upgraded to Yosemite and can no longer remote into my work iMac through screen sharing- it is turned on in settings?

My screen sharing functionality did not show up in the dock with an updated icon. It had a question mark- shows my connections but nothing works, I did make sure screen sharing is on and also connected to VPN. Once I tried to launch screen sharing nothing happens. Such an elegant solution in Mavericks not does not work. Ugh. Help!

This is the post that got me set up- I too am running an older version at work vs. Yosemite. As soon as I followed is advice everything worked.

I believe the location of the "Screen Sharing" app has changed, which explains why if you had it in the dock it has been replaced by a ?
Don't forget you can launch screen sharing (once your VPN connection is up) by typing in the Safari destination slot vnc://remotemachinename:portnumber (omit the :port number if you are using the default VNC port, 5900). This should launch Screen Sharing and put its icon in the dock. You can drag the Screen Sharing icon to the left of your dock and it will hopefully remain there after you exit Screen Sharing, or you can right-click on the icon when it's running and select Options->Show in Finder to find out its new location and drag its icon to the permanent entries in your dock.
Hope this helps; worked for me.

Dropbox folder no longer recognized after upgrading to yosemite

After I upgraded to Yosemite my dropbox folder is no longer syncing to dropbox. Has anybody else had this issue?

Yes - also, the dropbox icon on the top bar goes to a white blank if I've closed and opened the lid to my Macbook Air - I do a restart to see it and to access files - weird.

After upgrading my Macbook to Yosemite, the volume icon at the top right is greyed out and sound does not work.

After upgrading my Macbook to Yosemite, the volume icon at the top right is greyed out and sound does not work.

Interesting bug. I'm cautiously optimistic this will get rid of the weekly annoyance. The difference is that I bought my laptop back in Feb 2015, so it came with Yosemite. I think the issue may have appeared soon after an OS update not long after I got the thing, though. I was using a sudo command in the Terminal, but that is obviously not a fix.
I wonder if there is a broken .plist file that may be fixed ...?

IPod Classic no longer visible in iTunes after upgrade tp Yosemite.

I have just upgraded to Yosemite and the latest iTunes. But my iPod Classic is no longer visible in iTunes. It is on the desk top and I can drag files to it, but is there a way of restoring it to iTunes?

I recently upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.2 and Aperture 2.1.4 will no longer open. I cannot access my photos and I don't want to pay for latest version of Aperture since this application is no longer going to be supported. How can I get my pictures?

If you want just the originals, then you can go into the Aperture library (right click on it and do "show package contents"). Inside is a directory called "Masters" and you can find the original files in a bunch of subfolders.
But... you'll lose all adjustments, keywords, and other information, and just have the files as they were imported originally from the cameras.
Easiest is probably to buy Aperture and update everything, and then migrate to the Photos application down the road if that's what you want. Aperture 3.0 came out in 2010 (five years ago!) so it's not like you've upgraded in a while

After upgrading to Yosemite and Aperture 3.6 all the library icons are shown plain. Does anyone has a hint?

If it is still slow after removing Symantec, you may need a RAM upgrade. Yosemite can run very poorly on older machines with only 4 GB RAM.

After upgrading to Yosemite web icons in Safari bookmark list have disappeared

After upgrading to Yosemite web icons in Safari bookmarks have disappeared. Anybody know how to reset this?

Hi ..
The webpage icons database may be corrupted as a result of the upgrade.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Safari/WebpageIcons.db
Click Go then move the WebpageIcons.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari.
It may take up to a day for your webpage icons to re populate.
