There is no option "Devices" in Finder. Please see screenshot of sidebar in Finder.Macintosh HD is missing since yesterday. Suddenly in addition to Macintosh HD I had an extra hard disk (1110..0) in the sidebar in Finder.Then the same page was opened in Safari, it did not matter what I searched.I shut down the Mac and fixed the problem with Safari.But the Macintosh HD is missing.

Do you think I should rename disk "1110..0" to "Macintosh HD" ? When I clicked on Disk Utility in Finder, the Keyboard Input Source was changed from "Canadian English" to "Keyboard Viewer" in the menu bar. But in System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard > the box "Show keyboard and emoji viewers in menu bar" is unchecked.The same thing happened when I clicked the Disk Utility icon to remove it from the Dock. Do you know why ?

Under Devices check mark "hard disks".

You can also find your Mac HD by going to "(your)iMac" under Devices. Or making it visible on your Desktop Finder menu > Preferences > General > Show these items on the Desktop > Hard disks.

On my old Mac ( Mid 2011, macOS High Sierra ) Macintosh HD appears under "Devices" in the Finder sidebar. Why are there "Locations" instead of "Devices"in the Finder sidebar on my Mac (Late 2015, macOS Mojave) ?

You want it in the sidebar. Finder>Preferences>Sidebar. Check on hard disks.

Did you accidentally rename the hard drive on the desktop perhaps?

It is checked. I do not know how to rename it. Do my problems with Safari have anything to do with it ? This is not my IP address and I just have a personal Mac.
