Finder folder toolbar.
I used to be able to add the icon of often used app to the folder toolbar, used in the finder. Did Apple remove, in Mavericks 10.9.x, the ability to add an alias to a folder toolbar?
Found the answer in the following discussion; https://discussions.apple.com/message/24452119#24452119.

I am talking about the icon on the docking row, that's the guy with the smily face. When you click on him it brings up a bunch of files of what I seem to have store/created on my Imac. There are hundreds of emails and some other documents. I tried to delete a few of them when I first got the MS office but it did not like that, it said it have to rebuild oulook. Why cant i delete these files? is this Apple version of Window outlook PST files?
These file extenssions are listed as
olk14_message or even or ccontact. I wish I could send a screen print but I dont see that on the key board. Maybe I should have stuck with windows..
Oh the ...olk14_message's. Do not delete them behind Outlooks back, i.e., from the finder. Those are the various messages that you sent, received, or deleted in Outlook. They are indexed by Outlook so if you delete behind Outlook's back Outlook will get confused trying to access those messages.
You can delete them however using Outlook itself. In outlook select a mailbox (Drafts, Sent Items, Deleted Items, etc.) by clicking on the mailbox on the left. It will show you the messages in that mailbox. You can now select all or selected items in that mailbox. The click the Edit menu and select Delete. You will get a dialog asking if you really want to delete the selections. Answer "Delete" and the messages will get deleted.
The olk14_message's you are seeing are the actual messages shown the Outlook mail boxes. When you actually delete them the way I just described the corresponding olk14_message files will also be deleted.
Note Outlook's Deleted Items mailbox is where all deleted messages go when you click the Delete tool in the Outlook toolbar. Thus using the Delete tool from the toolbar does not permanently delete the messages. So if you been using that for months or years you are going to have a very large Deleted Items mailbox. And every one of those items in there is going to have a corresponding olk14_message file for that message.
So if those olk14_message files you are seeing are from the Deleted Items mailbox you can get rid of all those corresponding olk14_message files by selecting all the messages in Deleted Items and using the Edit menu's Delete.
Alternative ways to the Edit/Delete to do the permanent delete is select (all) the messages to delete and control (right) click to bring up the Outlook contextual menu and select Delete from it.
Finally if you use the Delete tool in the toolbar for messages selected in the Deleted Items mailbox you will be able to permanently delete those too. It's an exception since using the tool on the Deleted Items means there's no place to put those messages except to "oblivion".
So, in summary, using the Delete tool in the toolbar on messages in every mailbox except the Deleted Items mailbox just moves messages to the Deleted Items mailbox. But using the Delete tool on items in them Deleted Items mailbox permanently deletes the selected items in there. And only permanently deleting items removes the corresponding actual ...olk14_message files. -
In my Macbook Pro, the Finder folder has duplicate images in the 'all images' file. One image is small and the other is full size. First question is why do I have two of every image? Why is one small and the other large. Do I need two of everything? If not, which do I delete?
thanks, JeanHello fane,
Re: duplicate images in finder.
Nearly all images are JPG with a few GIF and PNG sprinkled in.
I opened the inspector so I do get info when opening each image, but it a slow process.
It seems that one image is around 70k while its twin can be up to 4Mb which is what comes unedited from my camera. Sometimes there will be 3 or 4 identical images in finder, but when I open iPhoto to see what ‘s really in the file, I find only one image, and it’s full sized.
Are all these extra images, even if they are aliases, taking up space on my drive? And should I delete them? The info bar says I have over 10,000 images, which is rather a lot for what I do.
I am unable to add the file size on the view menu as it is grayed out. Don’t know why it’s gray, but having that info on the screen would save a lot of time and fiddling with each image.
I am trying to resize selected pix so I can upload them to e-bay, which requires less than 70k. I have looked at resizing programs but most are for PC platform and not Mac, so I am trying to resize in the finder window under tools. Tedious at best. Any suggestions will be appreciated
Thanks for your help,

Is there a way to recover deleted video files from the finder folder
I recently and mistakenly deleted video files that were in my Finder folder,don't know why they were in there but that's another question, in doing this it also deleted them from IMovie and I have lost them unless someone out there know's different,
ColinIf you haven't emptied your trash, they should be there.
If not, they should be in your last Time Machine backup. (Or other backup.)

How do I remove the hidden file icons from the Finder folder?
I recently had problems with Final Cut Pro and had to remove QuicktimeX and use Pacifist to re-install QuicktimeX back into the Applications folder.
I now have "hidden icons" that are lightly grayed out in the Finder folder. I was told by the Apple Genious leave them alone until you know the correct way of removing them from the folders because they play an important role in the system folder.
Can someone advise me on how to make them go away again?LOL! Sorry Niel, I 'm just a beginner when it comes to more the double clicking on the Mac. I just had to laugh at myself after reading your response. I should have been in a Three Stooges movie....
Thank you, it worked and I saved it just in case one of my friends have the same problem. I will fix it for them then claim to be a Mac Genius. -

Hello to the Community,
i'm new here so i have a (simple?) question.
I doesnt find the toolbar anymore (see picture).
I have since 2 years photoshop so i know a little bit about adobe programs, but i cant find it in dreamweaver CS6.
It shouldnt be so difficult, but i havnt found it and i hope that anyone can help me
Thank youHmh, because i thought that this toolbar looked realy similar to them.
I found a picture in the internet where the "toolbar" which im searching for is available (i dont know if i am allowed to post links but here it is)
http://techmites.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/21b.jpg
It should be this little bar on the left side.
Where you can e.g. create a new page.
So maybe it could really been hidden by myself...
but thanks -

Bug: My Finder folder has 4 items but Cover Flow is showing 5.
My Finder folder has 4 items but Cover Flow is showing 5.
I can even click on the erroneous item in cover flow, but it doesn't atually exist.
Mavericks, everything is updated.
Sure, rebooting or restarting Finder might fix it, but this yet another bug with Finder I have found.Hello,
Can you count the beeps or flashes?
1 beep = no RAM installed
2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
3 beeps = no good banks
4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
5 beeps = processor is not usable
In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.
Did you get any of the Install Discs with the Macs?
On the one with no Utilities, might try reapplying the big combo update...

"you are tring to use is a network resource that is unavailable. find folder itunes.msi" i dont have a folder like that and anything i use that is related does not work. ive tryed to uninstall but still does the same thing when.
Should the advice above not fix things for you...
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

Itunes cant find folder %APPDATA%\
I had a problem with my computer when backing up the harddrive. It had to clean out some stuff and it ended up cleaning out Quicktime and it told me to uninstall intunes and reinstall it. i went onto apple.com and tried reinstalling it but it popped up that itunes couldnt find folder %APPLDATA%\ so i installed Quicktime with no problem and tried downloading itunes but it popped up again.
HELP PLEASE!!!!!!I am having the exact same problem as Ravi. I recently upgraded to iTunes version 5.0 and now the program will not even open. It hangs for about a minute and then the error box pops up with:
"The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "My Music" folder."
I have checked on the location of iTunes. It is in the right location but what is wierd is that when I click on the "My Music folder in the Explorer Window, my machine hangs for about 30 seconds before showing the contents. Then when I click on "iTunes" folder, the machine hangs indefinitely. It simply will not show me the contents of the folder. Eventually it gives me an error:
"Request cannot be performed because of an I/O device error."
I just reinstalled the iTunes 2 days ago hoping it would fix the problem, but no luck...I also tried the Tweak UI program, but to no avail...my machine hangs when I try to pick the "My Music" folder in the final step of the process.
Has anyone else had this problem? -

Applescript - Create RTF File in Last Selected Finder Folder
QUERY: As a fit-for-purpose Applescript user, I try to customize posted scripts (thanks to sharers who do the heavy lifting) to suit my needs. Someone posted a great Applescript for creating an RTF file, but I want one modification: rather than having to declare/designate a folder in which to place the new RTF, I want it to create the new file in the active Finder file. Interestingly enough, I also have an Appscript which, in fact, will create a TXT file (not RTF) in the active Finder file. How to take the desirable bit from the latter and working it into the former, I cannot figure. (More times than not, I can successfully blend scripts, but not so this time. I have hit something that requires expert help.)
