how can I add a server to SQL management studio? - sql-server

i just installed sql management studio 2014 but the actual server does not appear, like if it is not installed at all. I already looked on services on my computer, and I looked on the SQL configuration manager under SQL server services and there are no elements.
I actually can access the management studio but i cant write anything under the sever name.
Can you tell me what i did wrong? why is there no server?
Thanks

SQL Server Management Studio VS Visual Studio - Different version of SQL

I would love to manage and create my databases in SQL Server using SQL Server Management Studio and use them in Visual Studio but I can't connect to the same database :
Different Version of SQL used
As you can see, Visual Studio is connected to SQL Server 13.0 and Management Studio is connected to SQL Server 12.0.
Can someone help me to figure this out and make the two programs using the same database.
Thanks in advance for your help
You are connected to different instances of SQL Server. Visual Studio is connected to a LocalDB instance while SQL Server Management Studio is connected to SQL Server Express instance. To resolve this issue you just select local instance at login step of SQL Server Management Studio tool.

Local server in SQL Server 2012 Management Studio

I've installed Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Management Studio today and now I'm trying to connect to server. As far as I know there should be default local server that would allow me to create a database in it. Unfortunately, my list of servers is empty and I cannot connect to anything. I've read tutorials and tried everything, even reinstalling all the Microsoft SQL Package. How can I fix this problem and find/create my local server?
Ok, I've read that there might be a problem with connecting to database even if whole microsoft package gives me LocalDB. I had to install Visual Studio, then clicked View -> SQL Server Project Explorer. Right click at 'SQL Server', I added new database and then entered its name. Now I can connect with my own server by typing '(localdb)\v11.0' in management studio.

Cannot create New Database in SQL Server 2008

Anyone please give me some ideas what to do next? I have a 2008 SQL Server installed, and try to create a DB on my PC \SQLExpress, however, I come up with the following message:
Cannot write property isfilestream this property is not available on sql server 7.0
Actually I have already enabled this via the properties within Management Studio and via the configuration tool, but the message still pops out...
My computer originally has 2008, but because I cannot access to the local server .\SQLExpress, then I re-downloaded the 2012 SQL Server, and then is able to access to the local server via 2008 SQL management studio. Not sure if this is related to my issue
Thank you so much in advance!
