"show toolbar" button is gone in finder

Hello all,
In 10.5 and 10.6 there was a button on the top right hand side that would show/hide the toolbar and also show/hide the sidebar with all the main place where things are stored. In 10.7 not only did the button disappear but also when you go to View>Show Toolbar in cases where you have recently downloaded something and have located in Finder the sidebar does not show up. If I open a new Finder window "Show Toolbar" from View menu works but when let's say I have downloaded a PDF and ask Safari or Chrome to show me where the file lives it will open up Finder without the sidebar showing and when I select View>Show Toolbar all it does is show the number of items contained in that folder and the capacity of the Hard Drive.
Question: Is there a way I can make finder always show the toolbar as well as the sidebar?
Thanks in advance!

Because the RSS button is the least clicked button in our UI. When you want to use it, you know that you want to use it, so we don't need to show it all the time.
It's still available, but in the bookmarks menu instead.
Unfortunately, most people don't use RSS. I am a big RSS user myself, but I'm in the minority.

Where is hide/show toolbar button?

Hello all,
I have purchased Aperture as a retail package, and I am running Snow Leopard. I have a "hide/show Toolbar" button in the upper left of the title bar, as indicated in the included screenshot.
I used Aperture on a friend's machine, and he does not have the oblong "hide/show toolbar" button. His OS is Lion with Aperture installed from the Mac Store.
Does anyone have any ideas about why he would not have this convenient button, while I do?

Hello Nathan,
if you want a button in the toolbar to toggle it on and of, you could do the following:
Create an AppleScript to toggle the Toolbar on and off
Save the script as an application
Assign a nice icon to it, just like the drop of toothpaste, the button used to look like
Drag the Apple Script to your Finder toolbar
This AppleScript seems to toggle the toolbar - I have not done much testing so far:
(* Toggle the Finder Window Toolbar , Autor LDF *)
tell application "Finder"
activate
          set wi to front window
          set vis to (get toolbar visible of wi)
          if vis then
                    set (toolbar visible of wi) to false
          else
                    set (toolbar visible of wi) to true
          end if
          return vis
end tell
The only problem is, you can easily hide the toolbar this way, but once the toolbar is hidden, you cannot turn it on again, since the button now is hidden , so you may wish to put a link to the script in the Dock as well

Goolge Toolbar Buttons are Gone After Installing FF 4

After getting the new FireFox version 4 I see no Google buttons anymore even tho the Google Toolbar is active. It is installed and ticked and there is even a row but it's blank. When I click View ->Toolbars and untick the Google toolar the extra space is gone.
I uninstalled the google toolbar and installed it again, tried using oldbar, and any trick I could think of but they just do not appear.

OK, I managed to figure it out and resolve it. For those who might encounter this problem...
I started the project in FB 4, so when I installed the trial of 4.5, I just pointed the project to the 4.1 folder (because the 4.5 SDK caused some issues in my project). When I uninstalled 4, the SDK was also removed.
The solution was to download the 4.1 SDK to the 4.5 folder, then point to that. I had an issue in that 4.1 was the default SDK, and I had a hard time getting the "Configure SDK's" dialog to open (it kept failing with an "invalid values" message. I finally found that clicking "specific SDK" allowed me to open the dialog.
Hope this helps someone else.

Can the text on toolbar buttons be changed?

In my Customize Toolbar window, I have it set to show toolbar buttons - such as Back/Forward, New Tab, Home - as Text. Is it possible to change the actual text that shows for these buttons, for example Bk/Fwd for "Back/Forward"?

Yes, if your on iCloud you can go into the calendar application and tap the calendars button. Then tap Edit, [Name of Calendar], then tap which colour. If you using any other client [Gmail, Exchange etc] you can go onto the change the colour online.

Toolbar button/hotkey for "show cover page in two page view" in Acrobat X?

In Acrobat X, how about make a toolbar button/hotkey for "show cover page in two page view"? I find toggling this option to be useful for changing up the order of adjacent pages in magazines/books in which a two page spread has to match for a full large picture. Due to frequent toggling, I would like a button/hotkey for this for easier access.

Hotkeys for existing menu items are not modifiable, but you can add a scripted button which toggles it with the following code:
if (layout.substr(-5)=="Right") layout = layout.replace("Right","Left");
else layout = layout.replace("Left","Right");
For info on how to add a button with a folder-level script, see the Acrobat SDK documentation. Scripted buttons will appear in a new panel on the tools pane in Acrobat X, not on the tool bar.

HELP: "Fitting" toolbar buttons not showing up in CS5

Hi All,
I can't figure out how to get this to work. The toolbar buttons in CS5 are a bit different than those that show up when I am in CS4 and I am not familiar with the changes.
I like the "fit content to frame", "fit content proportionally", etc. as toolbar buttons. I know there are keyboard shortcuts for these, which would be faster to learn... but I just don't work that way... I'm a visual person, I need to see and click on the buttons. But my CS4 buttons are gone in CS5.
How do I get the fitting toolbar buttons back when I have selected an image that I want to modify?
Thanks in advance!

NVM... I answered my own question. The toolbar buttons that I was looking at were really there, but I just couldn't see them because too much space on my toolbar was taken up by stuff I don't use frequently. Once I removed the extras that I didn't want, they appeared!

When I bootup the icon for Elements shows up in orange. It changes to green only when I've gone to Finder and clicked on Elelments under the Devices list. This is a recent development. The icon used to be green upon bootup. Does anyone know why ?

I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm not affiliated w/ the developer, just a happy user that gave up fighting the apple podcast app a while ago. I used to have a bunch of smart playlists in itunes for my podcasts, and come home every day and pathologically synced my phone as soon as I walked in the door, and again before I walked out the door in the morning.
Since my wife was doing this too, we were fighting over who's turn it was to sync their phone.
Since I've switched to Downcast, I no longer worry about syncing my phone to itunes at all. I can go weeks between syncs.
Setup a "playlist" in downcast (ex., "Commute") and add podcasts to that playlist. Add another playlist ("walk" or "workout") and add different podcasts to that one.
Set podcast priorities on a per-feed basis (ex., high priority for some daily news feeds, medium priority for some favorite podcasts, lower priority for other stuff). Downcast will play the things in the priority you specify, and within that priority, it will play in date order (oldest to newest).
Allegedly, it will also sync your play status to other devices, although that is not a feature I currently use and can't vouch for. It uses apple's iCloud APIs, so to some extent may be limited by what Apple's APIs can do.

So how do I REALLY get the toolbar buttons to just show icons (and not text)?

On my Bookmarks toolbar, my bookmarks "buttons" show icon AND text. I just want to show icon, not text. When I go right-click.....customize, the window "customize toolbars" opens. Down in the bottom left corner the "show" option dropdown is already set to "icons" (and only icons). But it's just not so. The toolbar buttons show icons AND text. If I cycle through that dropdown just for kicks, it doesn't change; I can choose "icons (only)" all day long, but the toolbar buttons still show text.

Either of the following Add-ons allow you to show icons only and/or to have multiple rows on the Bookmarks Toolbar. Set the options on either after installation.

"Add New Tab" button does not exist in the Window -Customize Toolbar, and not on my Navigator toolbar. Where can I find one to put on my Navigator toolbar, please?

I see "Add New Window" but..."Add New Tab" button does not exist in the Window -Customize Toolbar any longer, and not on my Navigator toolbar. Where can I find one to put on my Navigator toolbar, please?
Thanks

It's the "+" on the Tab bar. You can move it to the Navigation Toolbar if you prefer. When you start Customize, the + moves to the far right end of the Tab bar. You can drag it where you want (see attached image).
Any luck?

Right click edit gone and toolbar buttons are black and white, HELP! CS6 Dreamweaver, post update.

Right click to edit is gone and buttons are grayscale in CS6 Dreamweaver. Between yesterday and today my toolbar buttons went from color to grayscale and my ability to right click code and choose edit is gone. I did the update they pushed out. Ideas?

The Creative Cloud version of DW changed a bunch of stuff, I think the Edit Tag dialogue was one of them. Here's a few links discussing the changes...

I tried to rent a tv show today and discovered the rent buttons are gone. What Happened to them?

Apple removed TV show rentals, citing lack of customer interest (ironic, I know).

My code/split/design buttons are gone. How do I get them back?

I must have hit some command but my code/split/design buttons are gone. Also are the "live view", etc. How do I get them back.
I looked under both the window and view tabs but couldn't find anything that retrieves them.
Attached is a screen grab of the area that is missing.
Could someone please tell me how to get it back
Thanks in advance
Cliff

Right click the toolbar area and make sure there's a check by Document, or go to View > Toolbars and check it.
EDIT: Make sure you have a document open (even a new blank one will do) or the options may not show up.

Show Downloads Button

I'm working on a 2009 desktop iMac with Mavericks 10.9.4
I've been trying to figure out why my downloads from websites don't appear in my downloads folder, with the help of some of the community members. I was gone for a few days, so that stream ended.
So now what I'm looking at is the Show Downloads Button on the Safari toolbar. When I attempt a download (say for a flashplayer update) the Show Downloads Button does pop up, but then disappears so fast I can't click on it. And then when I go to the Downloads Folder in Finder, my download does not show up.
Today I needed to download a Firmware update for my printer. The Show Downloads Button appeared and I rushed to click on it. I got it just in time and was able to successfully install my update. From my experience with the speed of previous downloads, I don't know if I'll be able to catch it every time.
I've added the Downloads Stacks to my Dock, but that doesn't show downloads that need to be installed.
I've turned off all Safari Extensions. The only Community suggestion I haven't followed up on is one that says I may have a corrupt system and need to take it to the Genius Bar.
Can anyone think of anything that I can do to slow down the Show Downloads Button so I can use it the way it was meant to be used?

Try clicking on View, then clicking the Show Downloads text in that menu. When I tried that, the button dissapears after you clear them.
