What happened to my device icons?

I have two external drives connected to my iMac, and when I am at the iMac I have a Flash Drive attached. When you open a window they appeared on the left side under the word "Devices" along with Macintosh HD. Well, they have disappeared. (see images below, the first shows I have three devices attached, the second shows an open window and nothing is listed under devices) And since they disappeared when I do a search it doesn't seem to search the external drives, it is like they are not there. What happened to my device icons? Before, I could just click on the right-pointing arrow next to the icon for my Flash Drive and it would expel it. I can drag the Flash Drive icon to the Trash, but I am wondering if there is something really sinister going on in my iMac. It's a 6 month old iMac running Yosemite.

It looks like the Devices section in your sidebar is hidden. Place your cursor over the "Devices" text in the Finder sidebar. You should see just to the right of the text the word "Show". Click Show and the Devices should reappear in your sidebar.

  • What happened to the attachment icon in Mail?

    I just upgraded to Lion, and I noticed that there wasn't an icon for mail attachments.  I looked into preferences and no option there.  I have to go into the menu to attach a file.  What happened?  That seems to be a pretty basic function.

    You're right - it's not there, but it's such a long time since I've used it, I hadn't missed it! You can either go to File > Attach file, or do what I always do which is to open the folder containing the doc(s) you want to attach and simply drag onto the body of the email. You can also select more than one doc at once by using the Shift key (or the Apple key if they are not sequential) and attach several.

  • What happened to the "globe" icon for my server?

    We have a network that we all are connected to. I have my computer connected all the time. All of a sudden, I noticed that the icon for my server looks like a console icon. What happened and how can I get the "globe" icon back? Does this mess things up for files on the network? I've tried rebuilding the desktop, trashing the desktop and finder .plists, restarting my computer, and trashing the DisplayServices .plist. Any other advice? I sure would appreciate it.

  • My history only shows today. what happened to the yesterday icon?

    I used to have a yesterday option as well.
    What happened to the yesterday option.
    Did I delete it by mistake?

    If you use cleanup software like CCleaner then check the settings for the Firefox application.

  • What happens when the external icon jumps on top on the hard drive icon on the desktop?

    The external drive icon jumped to the hard drive icon on the desktop and after that happen the iMAC started running slow. Not sure how that happen or what is happening to the iMAC after it happen. All my applications are running and launching slow.  Also, when I tried moving files to the external drive I'll get a "error code -36". When I looked up the error message it says that the file is corrupted even though I could still open them. How can I fix this problem and not lose any files?  Thanks for any help.

    RRFS has probably got the answer basically - but the combined contents of the two drives has probably maxed out the drive space on Macintosh HD, meaning the OS can't use virtual memory properly.
    Open a Finder window and read the available space at the bottom.
    If you have copied the drive, it should show as a folder under Macintosh HD in the Finder.
    I hesitate to tell you to delete the whole folder as that may be too much for Finder to cope with. Open the folder and delete files and folders in small chunks, emptying the trash each time before doing the next..
    Meanwhile, if you go to the Finder preferences and uncheck the item for Hard Disks in the desktop list, then move the icon for the external away from that corner before re-enabling the Hard disk option.
    You may need to go to View options from the right-click menu on desktop and set 'arrange by' to 'none' in order to get the icon to stay where you want it.

  • What happened to the firefox icon on htm and html document files?

    Today I have noticed it for the first time.. The icon use to look like a blank page with a mini firefox icon on it.. Now the htm and html icon looks like a blank white page that is bent on the top right hand corner.. I tried a firefox reset and it didn't help.. I don't wanna do a reinstall of firefox because I want to keep the old firefox download manager and not the new one that is on the right of the search bar.. ( I saw it on my ubuntu linux computer) BUT my computer with the html file icon problem is Windows 7 x64

    It didn't solve it for me. I have tried the switch icons, uninstall and reinstall, making IE default and then back to FF, file association (there is no Program group in Control Panel in XP btw, the earlier Contributor poster is thinking only of Win7) and scanned other forums without any solution.
    mhtml and html files save fine, but are tagged with the Windows default icon for a program the o/s does not recognise. This causes constant irritation because while quickly browsing data files, my eye falls on the unrecognised file icon and I pause wondering what is the problem before realising it's the Firefox error yet again.
    There are FF users on other forums with the same problem too, some devising solutions which work for them but not for others, probably because computers are so individual.
    I am a recent convert to Windows XP 64-bit sp2 on a new build. With my previous 32-bit machines, I had no problem. I think, like Apple, Firefox has not come to terms with 64-bit despite it supposedly being "the future." I use FF v12 because I can't stand the look of its successors. However, from browsing forums, I gather it makes no matter what version is used. It seemingly happened after v11 and continues throughout.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • HT2305 What happened to the YouTube icon in iOS 6?

    I just installed the new iOS 6 and then I happened to notice that the YouTube icon is missing?

    Note that you're in the iPhone forum, not iPad.  But Google's YouTube app can be installed on either iPhone or iPad, though it is not yet optimized for iPad (supposedly that is coming soon from Google).

  • With the Volume Purchase Program, what happens if a device needs to be reprovisioned?

    In the event that an end user leaves the company and turns in their iPad, we want to be able to give that iPad to another end user. Will we need to buy another code? Or can we have that app downloaded to the same device with the IMEI or Serial Number (or any other static info for that matter)?
    If not, what is the solution to this? I'm certain we are not the only company facing this issue. If we have corporate owned iPads which we deploy Applications to using the Volume Purchase Program (along with an MDM solution), how can we use these codes for more than one user? Or are we simply forced to purchase code after code for any new user using the same iPad?
    Thank You

    You might have problems if you try use:
    Lion Internet Recovery
    If you happen to encounter a situation in which you cannot start from the Recovery HD, such as your hard drive stopped responding or you installed a new hard drive without Mac OS X installed, new Mac models introduced after public availability of OS X Lion automatically use the Lion Internet Recovery feature if the Recovery HD (Command-R method above) doesn't work. Lion Internet Recovery lets you start your Mac directly from Apple's Servers. The system runs a quick test of your memory and hard drive to ensure there are no hardware issues.
    Lion Internet Recovery presents a limited interface at first, with only the ability to select your preferred Wi-Fi network and, if needed, enter the WPA passphrase. Next, Lion Internet Recovery will download and start from a Recovery HD image. From there, you are offered all the same utilities and functions described above.
    I think that check user acounts before allowing a download.

  • What happened to my app icons

    ever since upgrading to the new yosemite some of my icons have gone weird   and do not display  pictures just a grey box with an A made out of a pencil, ruler and paintbrush. its really annoying can anyone help and this page won't let me up load a picture
    my mac is a mid 2010 iMac 27 inch

    They can be sorted by device type, all, or list.
    The only thing that can be done in is list view to select "Genre" and it will sort by the appropriate type.
    Frankly, if the apps are more easily recognized by the icon, go to the All view or device type view.

  • What happened to my shortcut icons for eBay, Facebook, Bookmarks, e-mail, etc. and how do I get them back?

    I think the above question states it all. There used to be shortcut icons for these things and now they are not there.

    Did the same thing to me with my upgrade from Firefox 7 to Firefox 8! Just the placeholder default Firefox bookmark icon though. The custom ones from various websites are still there.
