OS X :: Items Showing Up In Desktop Folder But Not On The Desktop Itself?
Mar 9, 2009This doesn't happen all the time, but frequently enough to create a thread about it to find out what's going on.
I usually keep my desktop empty and use it to store stuff I'm going to process in the next hour anyway.
Sometimes my desktop is absolutely empty, but when I navigate to the following path: UserDesktop, the files do show up.

MacBook Pro :: USB Icon Isn't Showing Up On Desktop Or Finder?
May 30, 2012I am trying to get pictures off an SD card that I have in a card reader, plugged into the USB port. I'm not finding an icon for this anywhere! I've tried 2 card readers, as well as plugging my camera right into the USB port, and none of them show up! It was working just find 2 days ago, and now it's not. The USB port shows up in System Profiler, but not in Disk Utility.Â

Jan 15, 2009I installed Windows 7 Beta on my MBP yesterday and for a while it showed up in my Startup Disk options in System Preferences, but now it doesn't show up. The partition is still there in Finder and I can boot to it each time by holding down the option key, but if I restart more than once in Windows 7, it defaults back to OS X. Is there a way to put the disk back into the Startup Disk options?

May 9, 2010So I had my iMac set up with two partitions.
1 - OS disk 160GB
2 - Other 500GB
Please note the 'Other' partition was empty.
I either didn't research that well, or read the instructions I found by googling. But I had tried to merge the two partitions.I clicked on the main drive (WD 640GB) in disk utility - Clicked on the partition tab - the chose 'other' and clicked the minus sign... Something went wrong from here.
Now Disk Utility shows the main drive (WD 640GB) as 640GB.But I click on OSX - It still only shows 16GB
I have lost the other 500GB. Im not sure how to get it back..

Sep 13, 2009I have had 10.6 on my early 2008 macbook for about 2 weeks. One of the first things i noticed was the fact that my hardrive that 10.6 is installed on is not showing up on my desktop like it used to in 10.5. Has any one else had this problem. I have also updated to 10.6.1 but that did not sort the problem out.

Jun 22, 2009i woke up this morning and my western digital external HDD icon is not showing up on the desktop. I currently use this as a time machine and it has been working for about a year. This has happened before and just a simple re-plug of the usb does the trick, but i have been working on this for hours and for some reason it is not showing up. I have unplugged everything and re plugged them back in and nothing is working. i have checked the disk utility and the disk utility recognizes it. but i still dont know why it doesn't have an icon. i am running a repair disk on the external HDD now and it and it has been "repairing" for about 30 min now. i have tried to backup but it is not working either.

Jul 20, 2009I tried to install Windows 7 via Bootcamp on my MacBook, and it was working fine untill it restarted my computer. It booted into my OS X partition and I had a HD labeled "Untitled" on my desktop (it was the partitioned part of my hard drive.) After a while, I got it to boot into Windows, and I have it installed on my Mac with no problems, exept for one: I still have the HD labeled "Untitled" on my desktop (it now contains all of the Windows files.) I just wanted to know if this is normal, or if there's something wrong with mine.
View 11 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Shutdown / Restart System - Stuck On Showing Desktop
Mar 8, 2008I'm a rather new Mac user (it's been about 6 months since I bought my new aluminum iMac). Lately, I've been experiencing difficulties in shutting down my system, or even restarting it. I should probably note that I'm using 10.5.2 Sometimes, when I try to perform a system shutdown/restart, the OS gets to a point where only my desktop is shown but nothing happens (occasionally the beach ball keeps rolling, but not always).
At that point, (as far as I know) there's nothing I can do to restart/shutdown the system, besides pressing the "power" button for several seconds until the power goes down. When similar things happened on my old XP machine, I would just use CTRL ALT DEL and force quit all applications - until shutdown succeeds. There was never a scenario where I needed to cut the power in order to get the system to shut down. On OS X when this situation occurs, the CMD ALT ESC combo doesn't seem to work.
OS X :: USB Photoreaders Not Showing On Desktop / Disk Utility Seems Unable To See Them
Oct 11, 2009I have two USB cardreaders. One is (I think) a USB 1, unbranded. The other is a USB 2 branded Seitec). Our cameras both use Sony Memory Stick Pro Duos). They both of worked with both my wife and my iMacs under 10.5.11. Both machines (hers from 2006, mine an Intel Core 2 Duo from 2007) have been happily upgraded to SL 10.6.1... but now the cardreaders work with her machine, but not with mine. They don't mount on the desktop. I have tried various combinations ... attaching them through keyboard /back of iMac, powered USB hub. Sometimes they are recognised by System Profiler, sometimes not! Disk Utility seems unable to see them at all, so I can't get it to mount them.
However, when I leave the card in my camera and connect it direct to the keyboard (or whatever socket I choose!) the computer recognises the camera immediately I switch it on, and downloads quite happily

View 3 Replies View RelatedMac Pro :: Internal Drives Not Showing Up On Desktop / Can Access Them In Finder
Nov 2, 2009So I just received my Nehalem Mac Pro today, and I successfully installed three new hard drives in it, and I can access all four of my drives in Finder, but NONE of them (including the Boot Drive that came with the computer) are showing up on the desktop! I can't figure out why so I thought I'd ask here.
Oddly enough, my Firewire 800 Drive shows up on the desktop. Anyone have any ideas why this would happen? And how to fix it?
OS X V10.6 Snow Leopard :: External Drive Not Showing Up On Desktop?
Mar 28, 2012I have an external hard drive (2T Newertech ministack). We had a power outage the other day. Even though the drive is on it no longer appears on the desktop. I went to Disk Utility and see if it could be repaired but the drive is not even showing up there. Does this mean the ministack was fried by the outage or is there another way I can save it? And yes, the finder preferences are on for external drives to show up on desktop.

Power Mac :: Desktop Icons Ghosted And Showing Transparent
May 8, 2012Yesterday I accidentally opened Terminal and didn't realize it until after I typed into it and hit a few returns. I thought nothing of it until today. When I started up all of the desktop icons were ghosted or transparent. The Dock apps look fine, and everything seems to work OK. There are odd .DS_Store files everywhere and other files that start with a dot that I've heard are supposed to be invisible.
I've looked around and found out that it's a Finder problem that can be corrected by typing something into Terminal. That's how I realized I must have messed it up yesterday when I accidentally typed into the Terminal. What code I need to enter into Terminal to restore it to the default settings. I have a Dual 2.7 GHz PowerPC G5 with OS 10.4.11, and other than this problem it works great.
