  Hey guys!

  I just got one of the new mbp and I noticed that my external drives mount, but don't show up on my desktop anymore. Is there anything I can do so when I plug a drive it pops on the desktop too?

  Right now it only shows on the sidebar of finder window.

  Thanks in advance!

  you are the main mang mono!

  woooow and the hardrive shows up too now!
  I don't usually update software unless is absolutely necessary so before this I was running leopard.

  Also the Retina Display makes everything look like shit. I thought there was a way to switch back to normal display without scaling the screen is this not possible?

  I actually prefer them not to show up on the desktop. I rarely ever open a disk from the desktop. Instead I click the Finder icon in the dock and select the disk from the window sidebar. Keeps the desktop uncluttered.

  • but also ads an unnecessary step :) but I understand, it's all a matter of taste– Miguex
