How do I get "Media" to appear in my Sidebar?

When I insert pictures, files etc into emails, the finder window very kindly shows "Media" as a drop down in the sidebar. But when I open finder by itself this drop down is not in the sidebar and I can find no way in preferences to choose to show it?
Please help.

In Open dialog boxes the "Search" entry is replaced by the "Media" entry in the Sidebar. Unfortunately I have not heard of any way to remove the Sidebar "Search" category and replace it with the "Media" category in a regular Finder window. There is no way to change the categories in the Finder. I wish there were. The best you can do is send Feedback to Apple:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html/
Let them know you would like to able to configure the Sidebar. If enough people request such a feature it could get added in the future.

  • How do U get icloud to appear in the finder

    in Mountain Lion you can save text edit files to the icloud. How do I get iCloud to appear in the sidebar in Finder. On icloud only iwork is displayed for files.  I usedropbox and it looks just like any other folder in Finder. Does iCloud behave the same?

    Thanks. It began to dawn on me that this was the case as I try to poke around for ways to do this.  I will continue to use Dropbox which works fantastically. Just wonder why Apple would come up with such a limited option.

  • Some USBs don't appear in Finder. They appear in Disk Utilities so how do I get them to appear in Finder?

    Some flash drives/USBs don't appear in Finder. But they appear in Disk Utilities so how do I get them to appear in Finder?

    If you've never used them before (they are new) then they are not formatted for Macs.
    Drive Partition and Format
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    When you want to remove an external device you must Eject it:
    First, select the Desktop icon of the external disk. CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select Eject from the context menu.

  • When browsing a new library that I created, the browser shows dotted lines around grey rectangles, no images. When I double click on a rectangle the image appears. How do I get images to appear in the browser rectangles?

    When browsing a new library that I created and exported onto an external hard drive, the browser shows dotted lines around grey rectangles, no images. When I double click on a rectangle, the image appears, but all the other rectangles remain empty - no image. How do I get images to appear in the browser rectangles? I am viewing this on a second computer (an older intel duo iMac), not the one I created the library on (a MacBook Pro). Both computers have Aperture 3.2.4 installed. When I return the external to the MacBook, all images appear in browser rectangles. What's happening on the iMac?

    You may have a problem with the permissions on your external volume. Probably you are not the owner of your library on the second mac.
    If you have not already done so, set the "Ignore Ownership on this Volume" flag on your external volume. To do this, select the volume in the Finder and use the Finder command "File > Get Info" (or ⌘I).
    In the "Get Info" panel disclose the "Sharing & Permissions" brick, open the padlock, and enable the "Ignore Ownership on this Volume" flag. You will have to authentificate as administrator to do this.
    Then run the "Aperture Library First Aid Tools" on this library and repair the permissions. To launch the "First Aid Tools" hold down the ⌥⌘-key combination while you double click your Aperture Library. Select "Repair Permissions" and run the repair; then repeat with "Repair Database". Do this on the omputer where you created the library and where you can see the thumbnails.
    Then check, if you now are able to read the library properly on your iMac.

  • How do I get folders to appear above other documents in Finder?

    Okay, I've been using PCs and MACs for years but I only recently bought my own, personal iMac G5. I know how to use OS X pretty efficiently.
    Although, How do I get folders to appear above other files (ie. mp3, .doc, .psd). Meaning that folders have a higher authority then those 'lower' documents.
    I'm basically saying I want to make it act like a Windows Explorer view, in a way.
    It just makes sense to have folders at the top of the list.
    In final, I want to be able to do this. Have everything in a Finder window alphabetical but with folders appearing at the top, in column view.
    Thanks!

    Column view, to the annoyance of many, is strictly alphanumeric and there is no preference in Finder to opt for anything else. There is one kludgy thing you can do: add a space to the beginning of an item name to force it to the top.
    While there is no way I know to set a default width, you can have the width expand to fit the contents by double clicking the || thingies at the bottom of the separator between columns. Option double click will expand all columns to the same width as the the widest one (pretty useless actually, as it only applies to ones already visible, not new ones).

  • How do I get Yosemite to appear in startup disc panel?

    How do I get Yosemite to appear in startup disc panel?

    There is an issue with Snow Leopard that was reported to Apple, and Apple Engineers replied that it won't be fixed. When you're booted to a Snow Leopard partition, the Startup disk in System Preferences won't display properly or work properly. Selecting it for me, generally resulted in it booting to the Yosemite Recovery partition.
    As previously said, I recommend using the Option key on a Restart. Afterwards, you can use the Startup in System Preferences to select the Yosemite partition.

  • PDF appears in zoomed out view-how do I get it to appear at 100% view?

    I received a pdf from a client.
    They want me to upload it to a link in Adobe Muse. When I do the pdf appears at about 127%.
    How do I get it to open at 100%?
    Thanks!

    Thanks so much! When I open it in Acrobat or on my desktop it now opens at 100%. However, I then link it to Muse and it still opens up much larger. I have made sure to relink it properly, I'm sure it's the new file. Is this a Muse issue at this point?

  • I am trying to set up new folders under another e-mail in my inbox.  The folder names are not displaying under the e-mail name.  How can I get them to appear?

    In my mail program on my Mac Book Pro I cannot get new folders to appear / be listed under a second e-mail account.  They show up at the bottom of the window but not at the top as do the other folders in the initial e-mail account.  How can I get my folders to appear?

    - It does not make any difference what ID was used for setup.
    - I would delete the email account from the iPod and then Goog for how to set up the account for yur particular provider.  Example is: setup earthlink  email on iphone
    YOU can also go to your provider's support site and they should have instructions.
