Finder has changed appearance. Sidebar missing.

Hi!
I'm using OS X 10.9.5 (mavericks). Recently my finder changed apperance.
This is how my finder window normally appears, with the sidebar and top-bar.
..and this i how it appears now, without the top- and sidebar.
When I push "cmd+shift+C" it will open as usual, but only when I previously have pushed a finder-logo.
Can anybody help me get it back to normal, so it appears with the bars?
- And in a way, where it will open no matter which finder-logo i click (and without me using the "cmd+shift+C" keys).Thank you so much for your time. Kind regards Emilie

Ha, that was easy, now I feel a bit stupid.
- Thanks a million

After loading the latest Aperture 3 update, aperture will not load and it appears to have corrupted 10.6. 10.6.7 now appears to be missing from the computer and my administrator status has changed to standard.

After loading the latest Aperture 3 update, aperture will not load and it appears to have corrupted 10.6.7. and now appears to be missing from the computer and my administrator status has changed to standard. Update Software says I need to do update to 10.6.7 which I can't do because administrator privileges are gone. I didn't back-up with Time Machine ,BAD, but I have all files backed-up on another hard drive. Should I just reformat and start over? Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

PROBLEM SOLVED! For me at least!
Apple Support gave me the clue - I had run Migration Assistant, and it had obligingly replaced a system file (/Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/Versions/B/PluginManager) with the equivalent from my old system.
I reinstalled 10.6.7 using the DVD supplied and all is well.
The moral is - don't use Migration Assistant.
Along the way Apple Support provided me with a link to download Combo update 10.6.7: this could not be installed on my iMac.
Hope this helps.

Finder smart folder: "Search for:Today" has changed

I noticed today that the smart folder has changed and now only seems to be showing applications and not files also.
I'm not sure what changed it initially, but to try to "fix" it, I went to the finder toolbar and selected "Action>Show Search Criteria". What should the default settings be for this folder as installed by Mac OSX Leopard?

The default criteria for Today and Yesterday, Apple's canned searches, are "Last Opened date is today" or "yesterday" plus "None of the following are true---Kind is Folders." If your are correct and aren't returning what you want, construct your own search that does what you want, then save it as a misnamed "Smart Folder"--be sure to check the box in the Save dialog to have it appear in the Sidebar.

I bought a new laptop with Windows 7. My computer name in Windows has changed, and now, my Ipad can't find Itunes

Ok, if reinstalling iTunes as suggested above does not resolve the issue of iTunes recognising the iPad then try this -
Firstly, make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
Secondly, try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
Thirdly, make sure your lead /connections are no faulty.
Fourthly, if you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -
http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/itunes/
As for making your new laptop your 'home computer' follow these instructions -
1. Without connecting your iPad to your computer -
A) Install iTunes / make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed.
B) Go to the Store tab and click on "Authorise This Computer".
C) Go to Edit, click on Preferences [iTunes and Preferences on Macs] and click on Devices. Put a check mark in the box next to "Prevent iPods/iPhones/iPads from syncing automatically". Click OK and close iTunes.
2. Connect your iPad to your computer -
A) Start iTunes (it will not start automatically because of the action at 1(C) above).
B) Right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select "Transfer purchases".
C) When the transfer has completed, right click on your iPad again and select "Backup".
D) When the backup has completed, left click on your iPad, click on the Apps tab, and put a check mark in the box next to "Sync Apps", and then click on "Apply" (bottom right).
E) Unless you want to always do a manual sync (as I do), go back to Edit, Preferences [iTunes and Preferences on Macs] and uncheck the box next to "Prevent your iPod.....".
F) Finally, on your iPad, check that everything is syncing properly. If not, go back to iTunes and check all settings.
NB You should not lose any apps. However, any 'purchased' missing apps can be downloaded again FOC. As with updates, this must be done with the Apple ID under which they were originally 'purchased'.

My iphone was stolen, however its still saved as one of my devices on icloud but its name has changed. Can apple find it?

I left my iphone sitting on the dashboard of a taxi and forgot to lift it. As soon as I got out of the taxi, I remembered so I rang the taxi company to get it for me. I also rang the phone and it was turned off, which is strange as two minutes earlier it was on and it had a 80% battery life so I knew something was strange. Suprise suprise the taxi company never found it. I went on to icloud and put the phone (the device was called jacks iphone) in lost mode and tried to track it but it was offline so I could never find it.
Now several weeks down the line I went back on to icloud and this mysterious device TonkhawiPhone7_ was in my list of devices. Its an iphone 4 as well. So could this be my iphone and the person who now has it has changed the name of the device? It doesn't appear to allow me to put it in lost mode for some reason.
Can apple help me get my iphone back?
Thanks for reading

Possibly
Can apple help me get my iphone back?
No
Only you can find it by using Find My iPhone

Find my iphone - picture has changed from a black ipod to a white one

My son's black ipod touch has gone missing, and we've tracked it using Find My Iphone to a house 15 miles away.
Strangely, the picture of the ipod has changed from a black ipod touch to a white one.
Is there something that the person who has "found" the ipod can do to affect this, or is it possible that the tracking has gone awry?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
jb

I noticed the same thing on mine. The Apple Store Genius informed me that after the white iPod touch came out, they began using that as the stock photo. If you asked Apple to check their records for devices registered to you, it would show up as the proper color - black.

I have this message appearing "the application finder has unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows"... someone PLEASE help

I have this message appearing "the application finder has unexpectedly quit while trying to restore its windows"...
So far it doesn't appear to be effecting anything that i can see on my imac BUT it is incredibly annoying and popping up at bad times, and it all happened when my imac automatically updated itself. So annoying. PLEASE help!!!

Finder crashes are often caused by "Google Drive." If it's installed, I suggest you first check for an update. If that doesn't solve the problem, remove it according to the developer's instructions. You may need to start the computer in safe mode to do so. Back up all data before making any changes.
If you use Google Drive and don't want to remove it, then try deselecting the option in its preferences to "show status icons." According to reports, that may be enough to stop the crashing.
Similar cloud-data clients such as "Dolly Drive," "iDrive," "Open Drive," "Transporter Desktop," and others can cause the same problem.

Change Finder Colours and Appearance.

Change Finder Colours and Appearance.
Hi! I was just wondering if anybody knows how to change the appearance [specifically the colours of background and text] of the finder?
Either natively or through some kind of plugin or extension or tweak?
I personally am finding black-text-on-bright-white very jarring and straining on my eyes during long periods of file organization.
Through other applications, I have lately found that having neutral-coloured text on black background is VERY easy on my eyes, to read, for long periods.
I first found this out by happy-accident in adobe reader, which has the option to switch background and text colours to your preference for reading. Then I found a great google chrome extension called "Change Colors" which allows you to pick the background and text colour on every page.
I have found these to be a huge cure for eye-strain for me, for things which require me to read and concentrate on them.
If I could do this with finder too, I would be very happy.
I think there must be a solution. Even TERMINAL allows one to change colours of text+bg.
I have done some googling around, but no solution is apparent to me.
Thank you very much in advance for any help, I appreciate it.
And happy holidays, if you are lucky enough to have a holiday

Thanks Barney. I do see your point, really.
But then again, would it really be a massive coding / graphical leap to have this as an option on the finder?
While I am a simpleton / no-nothing person in terms of designing computer applications ;
I imagine it's not a video-game proportion exercise in interactive graphical engineering,
to add the option to be able to select your own colours on the finder?
I would personally have a black background with a neutral coloured green for the text.
For me, this option is a big eye-strain saver with other applications, as I mentioned above.
I'd love to see this become available with the finder, and I'm sure many other people would too.
I've seen various requests for this on the finder, and even on the Windows 7 forums regarding the windows file-explorer.

Ask your question.please help itunes will not launch on my computer the icon on desktop has changed to a white folder no error message appears and it appears but then disappears in task manager when the programme will not open quick time is working

please help i need to fix my itunes it will not launch on my computer . no error message appears it simply will not run. the icon on desktop has changed to a white folder and it still appears in programmes in start menu but will not open. it appears in task manager but disappears when the programme will not open

You music etc should not be affected by problems with the iTunes program, nevertheless it is always a good idea to backup your data.
You haven't said if there was any error message when you tried to start iTunes. If there was one please give it in full.
Also check to see if QuickTime works, iTunes can not work without it. If QuickTime doesn't work, it has to be fixed before worrying about iTunes.
Then restart your PC and open your Task manger and select the Processes tab.
Try to start iTunes, does iTunes.exe appear on the processes tab? If so does it disappear again or remain although the programs does not open?

How to find who has changed SQL Server Agent 'Job History' settings.

Hi all,
I was searching from couple of days to know is there a way to find out who has changed the SQl agent property settings.
Like if someone unchecks the SQL Agent History settings how i can find who has done that change?
I searched for trace flags but there is nothing related to it, i searched for system tables and views of msdb but nothing which can give this information, even didn't find any audit setting that can monitor these activities.
My sql version is SQL Server 2008. Please throw your ides on how to track the sql agent history setting changes!!!
Thanks In Advance!!!!
VVinayPrasad

Hi,
You might be able to AUDIT the execute on that SP but its not giving exactly what has been changed... i guess you are getting what i am looking for...
whatever the property might be changed it only shows the sp name thats it.... but not the exact sql statement executed on background
VVinayPrasad
First of all: It's not about me, it's about you. And it's not a might, its a given fact. I
tested it for you.
Second: your question was:
>>I was searching from couple of days to know is there a way to find out
who has changed the SQl agent property settings.
>>Like if someone unchecks the SQL Agent History settings how i can find who has done that change?
So please first clear up, what you really need.
Third: instead of Auditing I already gave the advise to use Tracing (be it SQLTrace or Extended Events). Both will give you the exact statement. SQLTrace may be easier on SQL2008
Please try all of the provided first before doing guesswork.

In Finder something called 'vuuno' has suddenly appeared under Shared. I didn't knowingly connect and want to remove. Worried I've been hacked or something. What is this and how to remove permanently?

If you are using an unsecured or shared wireless network, then it could be just another user's computer name. If your sharing settings are correct, you have no worry. However, It would appear that at least some of the other user's settings are less than optimal inasmuch as his/hers is openly being displayed.
The next time you check into a hotel and use their wireless network, you are likely to see a number of other user's computers. Some just the name, as they share no files. While others are wide open, and their file sharing is on.
