Accidentally removed my Network icon in my finder

I accidentally removed my Network icon from the finder panel. Anyway I can't get it back now and when I Apple K, I can't locate anything on the network anyway the only way to do this was to use the network icon when it was in the left area on the panel.
any ideas please?

I think this works in 10.4 (but not in 10.5)
Click on the Desktop then top left Finder/Preferences
Check the 'Computer' item at the top then close the Preferences and open a new Finder window
Your computer 'name' should then be at the top of the left sidebar
Click on it and you should then see your hard drive and 'Network'
Drag 'Network' to the left sidebar

Hide "Users Shared Drive" and "Network Icon" on the Finder

Is there a way to Hide the Blue Highlighted Icons or Make it invisible on Finder. Thanks for the help...

Finder -> Preferences -> General -> Show these items on the desktop and uncheck the 'Connected Servers' option.
Alternatively, if you want to leave other servers showing, you can manually mount the volume at any other point, bypassing the /Volumes directory:
mount smb://server/sharename /some/other/mount
This should mount the share at the path /some/other/mount rather than at the default /Volumes/sharename

Accidentally deleted network icon from viewer

Can anyone help me? I accidentally deleted my network icon from my viewer. When I double click my hard drive the network icon used to be right below the hard drive icon on the far left. I accidentally dragged it out and dropped it. How do I reinstate that?
Thanks for any help!

Hi
Go to the Finder menu, then Preferences. Click on the "Sidebar" tab, and tick the Network entry. It will re-appear in your sidebar.

If you are referring to the icon for Dashboard, then simply locate the application in your Applications folder, select it and drag it into the Dock.

I earased my idisk icon in my finder window

I accidentally erased my idisk icon from my finder window. I have searched for it in every place possible so that I could drag it back to the sidebar but I have yet to find the icon again. I was wondering if there was anyway I could get it back.

I presume you mean the Finder sidebar?
In Finder, open the Preferences, click on Sidebar in the toolbar, and there is an item under "Devices" that is iDisk.
For future reference, you may have better luck posting Finder related questions in the appropriate Finder section of the OS version you are using (Snow Leopard (10.6.x):http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1341, Leopard (10.5.x): http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1221).

I'm going to assume that since you deleted your hard drive and all its files, you had a backup, yes? If the backup has an OS (bootable clone), then you can boot into it by holding down the option key when you start up you iMac and choose the backup drive. Then use Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper to copy the files back to your iMac.

Network icon in Finder not functional

I have an Intel Mac Mini Core 2 Duo w/OS X 1.4.10.
My Network icon shows up in Finder just fine. BUT, below that it only shows three folders
Applications
Library
Users
I can't see or browse my network at all. I can click on Go --> Connect To Server and manually do it, but I would rather have the option to see all the machines on my network. I have tried removing and re-adding the Network icon in Finder | Preferences. I have done a killall -HUP Finder.
I tried deleting all of those folders. Now my Network is empty, at least according to the OS X point of view.
On the flip side, I know Samba is working because I can browse the Mac from all my PC's.
Does any of you Mac guru's know what's going on? I know *nix and I know Windows. Mac's are fairly new to me...
Thanks

username/password - I inherited this machine so yes, I am pretty sure I might have done that. Would it be easier to create another user and that way the preferences would be "fresh"?
Hey, great idea for a test!
I saw in that other Network folder problem thread about deleting a file called com.apple.systempreferences (or something very similar). Would that help?
The partial list of filesfolders I've seen cause problems are...
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist
/Users/nnnnLibrary/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/SystemConfiguration/
I haven't been using it very long so configuring settings over again isn't a big issue.
If User settings aren't the problem... doesn't look like it to me so far, then an Archive and Install from your Install CD/DVD might be the trick.
P.S. Should I have to recreate the Network folder after reboot? applejack didn't recreate it if it was supposed to...
No, Applejack doesn't create anything... the OS should re-create that Network stuff once it reboots and finds none... maybe you have to toggle/do some Network stuff afterwards... not sure... still a bit blown away that what I did to fix the problem in several instances like yours... came up empty on your end!

Click the Finder icon in the Dock to launch it.
Open the Application folder and find the Launchpad application.
Drag it to the Dock.

How can I remove icons from the Finder sidebar? Were transferred when I set up laptop from my desktop computer. Tried dragging off but that didn't work.

How can I remove icons from the Finder sidebar? Transferred info from my Mac Pro desktop computer (using target mode) and there were folder icons on the Mac Pro Finder sidebar that are now on the MacBook Finder sidebar, even though these folders do not exist on the MacBook. Tried to drag them off, which is the usual way to get rid of folders that the user adds to the sidebar (as opposed to those that can be added via the Customize Toolbar dropdown menu) but was unsuccessful. I then unchecked all of the Customize Toolbar menu items and the folder icons still remained. What else can I do?

Did you hold the Command (Apple) key while dragging them off the sidebar? That usually makes them go *poof*.

Finder window's "Network" icon has a name bug in French localized version

In Mac OS X Tiger (and previous versions already), when running in French localized, the "Network" icon on the left side of Finder window is translated "Réseau". This is correct.
When no network is available (no cable connected to the Ethernet port for instance), then "Réseau" turns into the english name "Network". When the network is again connected, then "Network" turns back into the French localized name "Réseau".

I accidentally removed/deleted the Printer icon from my dock - how can I get it back?

I accidentally removed/deleted the Printer icon from my dock - how can I get it back? I've tried dragging and dropping from the Print window - no luck. I tried to drag from the Systems folder - no luck. IOS 10.9.4

Well I have always had a printer icon in the Dock, launched or not launched (as in the screen shot below,) right next to the scan icon. Neither of which are launched at the present time.

Intermitent Eject symbol by Network icon in Finder pane

Please can anyone tell me why sometimes (and only sometimes) I get an eject symbol next to the network icon in the left pane of Finder windows?
Pressing it does nothing.
I wouldn't say I connect to a network but maybe I do and misunderstand the terminology - I use Airport to connect to a wireless internet router. There is one other computer that connects to the same router also wirelessly.
Airport also occasionally shows other wireless networks as well as mine, presumably from adjacent properties.
My only real concern would be if it meant other people were accessing my computer somehow via the 'network'.
I'm nearly always connected to the internet (when I'm logged into the computer) and it isn't a case that the symbol is there whenever I'm online and not when I'm not (although the latter could be true).
It seems odd that the eject symbol's appearance seems random and doesn't relate to when the other PC using the same router is/isn't online.
Rob

The eject button next to the Network icon is a bug. It shouldn't be there. I've been waiting for it to be fixed for over a year.
On the other hand, it is harmless. When you are actually connected to another machine via any one of many networking protocols, it will show up in the sidebar with it's own (functional) eject button.
If you have file sharing turned off and/or have the firewall turned on, you need not worry about others accessing your computer remotely.

Accidently deleted "Network" icon in finder

Try...
Finder>Preferences>Sidebar>Sow these items in Sidbar:, then check Network box.
