Lost documents, music and photos on the start bar

Right now, when I try to left click on Documents, music and pictures (located to the right of the start menu) nothing happens.  For the moment, I deleted the folder music and images.  The documents folder is always present.  When I just lick on a folder, and then open the properties, the Properties window opens.  There is nothing is not displayed.  No file name, no disk space used, not location, and additional tab.  How can I fix without having to reinstall windows?  Thank you

Hi tip10788,

1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

2. What do you get if you right click a folder in the start menu?

To recover Documents, music or photo icon in the start menu, you'll need Customize Start menu settings.

(a) open the bar of tasks and properties of the Start Menu by clicking Start , clicking Control Panel, appearance and personalization, and then clicking the taskbar and Start Menu.

(b) click the Start Menu tab, and then click Customize.

(c) in the Customize the Start Menu dialog box, select the options in the list you want, and then click OK.

Customize the start menu

Check if you can access personal records of its original location.

I hope this helps!

  • Using iCloud Drive on iPad as a backup documents, music and photos

    Hi all

    With my trusty laptop Windows now 6 years old, that I am looking to replace that with an iPad Pro I feel this will do everything (and more), I would need a laptop.

    My question is about the storage and backup of my documents, music and video files and so on.

    With my laptop, I use an external hard drive to create a backup copy of these files.

    I understand the main purpose of iCloud drive is to access your documents from any device, but this Act also as a method for creating a backup of my files? If not, is there another way to do this?

    Thank you very much

  • design of music and photos of iOS 10?

    Does anyone think like ios 10 downgraded the design of music and photos? the words are so great - looks for an older ios apps. Don't look so modern plus

    Yes.  And the double column view with large thumbnails / tiles in 'Albums' (in the Photos App) is quite boring and more difficult to navigate if you have lots of albums.  Single column works best when scrolling down. This seems to be an interface for children.

    Also added to the problems with the application of music, is that now you can only display the albums alphabetically - no release date and I see a lot of OLD playlists appearing BEFORE the most recent albums I bought in the "Recently added" section of the music library.  Great job on this one, Apple.

  • How can I move music and photos from my MacBook on an external hard drive, files without deleting the existing NTFS files stored on it?

    Hello.

    I am aware that this issue (or different versions of it) will be requested a thousand times before, but after searching on the internet for a solution, I have been unable to find all the information that brings a simple clear answer that is specific to my problem and so thought I would ask the question myself.

    I recently bought a Toshiba 1 TB external hard drive to transfer music, photo files and internal document in front of the memory of my old PC running Windows, as well as files, music and photos from my existing MacBook Pro, so I can "release" the memory on the latter.

    Transfer files from the old PC proved to be easy; success achieved by simple drag / drop the files to the appropriate location on the external HD icon of Toshiba which appears once I connected to a USB port. It is perhaps worth mentioning that the area of States hard drive has been formatted NTFS for Windows, and so I guess that I would not have expected any problems when transferred to a PC.

    Move the files from my MacBook has however proved anything but simple and trying to drag the respective music and photo files and drop them on the HD Toshiba icon (which appears on my desktop once it is plugged), I seem to be affected by the same issues as so much seems to have it before me, in that "forbidden access" / error symbol appears with the cursor , and bounce the files to their original location whenever I try to place them on the Toshiba HD.

    I understand that this is due to the HD is formatted in NTFS, and that I would need to reformat the hard drive to move files from my MacBook, which brings me to my questions:-

    (a) how do I do this, and

    (b) can I do this without losing, damage or remove the NTFS files from my old PC, which are already stored on the external hard drive.

    If one is able to offer any assistance, in the most simple, easy to follow the description, I would be really grateful!

    Never been so thanks in advance!

    1 install software such as Paragon NTFS on the Mac and let the reader in its current form or from the Finder, choose utilities go to menu, open disk utility and reformat.

    2. that by putting a copy on another drive. You should do this anyway, in case of failure of this drive.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones accidentally hidden all the music and photos from my phone?

    So I got my blackberry to my computer and I tried to download pictures of her. There was some hidden that I couldn't so I decided to look around and see if I could find them. I have the blackberry from the folder right click after I selected the device from my computer. I then in properties and accidentally selected option check box to see only the hidden, or something to that. Now when I look on the device, all files are gone including camera, music photo, everything is not a single folder, listed in the unit when it is connected to my computer. And therefore all the photos on my camera, even if not connected to my computer and music are lost. Please help me to retrieve all my music and photos that I stupidly lost.

    On your computer you need to make sure it's set to show hidden files.

    For Windows Vista and 7:

    Once you have those who show themselves in Windows and then connect your device to the computer and undo what you did. You should see the files hidden in Windows now and you should be able to remove the checkbox for hidden.

  • Photos in the Start Menu is more pointing to the right folder

    I moved my folder on an external hard drive.
    The icon and all images are on this drive, but now the ability to achieve in my Start menu disappeared.
    In addition, under the Windows Explorer (do they call it that in Vista?) the icon is missing under my user name.
    You know... There is my computer, then my name of user, then under that is, Documents, music, photos, etc..
    Well, the image is missing.
    Thus, the properties of images in the Start Menu is empty.
    I have the icon in Windows Explorer with it to the external hard drive and even with the start menu.

    Manually move you the folder images on the external drive without leaving a copy of it to its original location?  If so, this is why he does not appear.  Bring it back to its original location (it should ask all of your shortcuts to reappear), then create a new folder on the external drive and name images.  Follow the steps below to change the location of your pictures folder.

    Click on the round to Start
    Photosdo a right-click and select properties of
    Go to the tab locations
    Click on the move button
    Add the path to the folder on the external hard drive in the folder box
    Click Select folder
    Click OK
    Click Yes

    This will move the photos that you have in the current images folder to the new location and change the destination of the pictures shortcuts.  Please let us know if you have any other questions.  Thank you. Shane

  • Is it possible to synchronize music and photos from iTunes from multiple computers?

    We have two MacBook Pro - one for me and one for my children.

    Currently, I manage all the music and pictures via my Mac (synchronization of iOS devices), so there is a place for all the music and photos.

    However, children now want to be able to manage their own music and photos.

    Is it possible to synchronize music or photos from multiple computers? for example:

    -Sync Mac and pictures of the other music

    -Synchronize Mac music

    Thank you

    The key thing here is not the machines it's libraries. Devices can synchronize an iTunes library at a time. You have to arrange if both computers have the same library (problems with maintaining them synchronized or using at the same time), or seek a centralized service such as game or music from Apple (with her own set of questions).  The key is that the media distributors wish to exercise tight control over how music and movies can be shared (they don't care about your photos).  You can do things with the homepage of sharing with family.

    Family shares - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT201060 - "family sharing makes it easy for up to 6 people in your family share of each and other iTunes, iBooks, and App Store purchases without sharing accounts.» Families with the same credit card purchases and approve kids' expenses directly from the device of a parent.
