OS X :: How To Get Hdd Icon Off Desktop

Jun 13, 2010

When I first got my mac I clicked something (maybe in Disk Utility?) that makes the icon for my hard drive show up on my desktop. How do I get it to where it doesn't show up anymore?

Also, I have Picasa on here, but when I try to remove the icon from the desktop it says it will get rid of the application. Is there a way to get rid of the icon without uninstalling it?

OS X :: Icon Goes Missing From The Desktop?

May 11, 2009

What does it mean when an icon "goes missing from the desktop" for a file. The name of the file is still there, but the icon itself has gone "invisible."

I am including a screen shot. A short while ago you would have been able to see a folder icon above the name. Now you only see the desktop background.

OS X :: Desktop Icon Missing Under Devices?

Oct 26, 2010

I am helping a friend out with her mac. She by accidentally removed her desktop icon under devices and needs to get it back. The best way for me to elaborate is to explain, you know when you are in a program...and you want to open a document on your desktop, so you use that programs open function and you look on the left for your desktop icon which falls under Devices at the top left...well that desktop icon is missing.

I tried searching for devices folder on the mac but was unable to find it, I was just going to drag a desktop shortcut into this folder...

OS X :: Removing Icon Text On Desktop?

Nov 28, 2009

I have just two icons on my desktop, like this. That's all very nice, but I'd rather there was no text under them and that they looked like this. I'm sure you'll agree that it looks much prettier, but of course it's a mockup. Can I do this for real without using the trick of renaming the drives to be *space* ?

OS X :: Hardrive Icon Keeps Disappearing From My Desktop?

Jan 17, 2010

I have an extra internal hard drive (Maxtor) on my Apple Mac.

Recently, I have noticed that the icon on the desktop that represents Maxtor only remains on the desktop for a period of 2-3 days then disappears. I then have to manually restore it but any files saved on it are lost.

Fortunately I do not use this Maxtor drive for saving files to much but I would still like to know how to solve this problem.
