Intel Mac :: Desktop Icons Disappear Intermittently With Lion 10.7.3
Apr 22, 2012
Some of my desktop icons "disappear" intermittently ( not always the same icon(s)). still appears but the icon is blank. I can still click on the blank spot and the app will launch.
Oh and my personal "Avatar" photo also reverts to an earlier choice ( intermittently ) as well. Can change it to the one I want to use but it reverts back to the old picture also from time to time ...
Info:iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3), 27"

I have a MacBook running Snow Leopard that quite some time ago, in an effort to save memory, I used a Terminal command that made the icons clear from the dock as soon as the application was quit.

I Fired up my computer this morning and the icons disappeared, also the applications folder. I rebooted. Same thing. Rebooted again. random icons appear, never the app folder. Rebooted. The trash can icon is broken apart and scattered along the dock. No other icons. What should I do?

I clipped a few lines out of my system log; dropped 'em on a desktop. Now they appear on every desktop. What gives? Why don't they stick to only the desktop I dropped them on?

I want to add the icon for my Mac to the desktop, but don't know how to do so. Also, the ICal icon appears both on my desktop and in the dock. When I try to remove it from the desktop, it also disappears from the dock, which I don't want to do. How can I do this addition and subtraction?

Not able to move the desktop file icons or copy/move files in between folders ... I've tried right clicking, then "show view options" but nothing seems to be working.

I have a hot corner set up to show the desktop.. in Snow Leopard when I exposed the desktop and then clicked on the finder in the dock *just* the finder would show.Â
Now, with Lion, when I click on the finder it comes into view but all the other open applications come sweeping back in hiding the desktop.Â
Can I change this back to the way it was before? Or is there another sneaky quick way to show only the desktop and the finder? Set up an entirely different "desktop" in mission control dedicated only to having nothing open in it?Â
In short: I need a fast way to drag icons from the desktop into folders in the finder. Also, this is driving me nuts.Â

Today, with no major changes at all (or downloads), The screen on my MBP no longer shows the files, folders, and aliases I had set up. Only the Hardrive and Idisk Icons. Everything else is GONE? I rebooted, I relaunched, reviewed preferences. Nothing. I also repaired permissions and rebooted.
If I use Finder and drill to the desktop, I definitely SEE all the files aliases, etc. But the don't show up on my screen?

I upgraded to Lion a few weeks ago and now the FINDER will not open and all of my desk top icons are gone. I've been reading different posts, but everyone says something different. Snow Leopard was working great.

I'm having some issues with my Macbook Pro that just arose today. Randomly, when I'm on Safari, the screen will flash a little and the icons at the bottom will disappear. They will come back in a couple seconds and pop-ups that I usually only get when I first log on will appear. Safari also refreshes the page I was viewing. I did a little research and thought the issue might be google drive, but I do not have it installed on my Mac.

I'm a new Mac-user having used PC:s for 25 years. On my Windows Desktop it was easy to place new icons with shortcuts to websites I often visit. I have tried to do this on my Mac, creating Bookmarks, exporting them to Desktop. Iicons appear. But when clicked they don't connect with the webaddresses I have given.
I have read Q&A from someone who tried to give similar shortcuts to customers, but I did not understand the answers. I'm Swedish and Mac Keyboard and Desktop menues etc are in Swedish so the exact terms in English may be difficult to translate. My problem is different since it's only on my Mac I need the shortcuts/icons/links.

I learned how to put icons with website links on my Desktop. Those icons are all the same (except for the names I have given them) and look boring. How do I ,put for example ,a photo of my daughter, whose blog I want to visit, on the icon?Â

All of the icons and screens have been blown up which extends beyond the boundary of the monitor. It acts as though the display has been magnified and the Dock and other frames disappear off the screen. How to reset this to normal display?

Every minute or so, the icons on my desktop dissapear and reappear in less than a second. It is almost as if something is crashing and restarting in the background. It would be that big of a problem, except that if I am working on a full screened app it slides me back to "Desktop 1" everytime that it happens.
