After rebooting, why do folders in Places sidebar disappear?

After shutdown and start-up, some folders disappear from the Place sidebar while others are intact. Why is that and what can I do to fix it? Is it a library preference issue? I have used the Mac Disk Utility to verify and repair permissions but that does not work at all.
Thank you.

Which Folders?
With Finder displayed on your menu bar, go to: Finder > Preferences > select the Sidebar tab and check the boxes next to the Sidebar Items that you want showing.
I could be wrong, but I think that only the Folders from your Home Folder that have the little symbols in them will stick in the Places Sidebar and that ever thing else should be placed into one of them?

Local copy idisk folders added to sidebar disappear after restart

Folders from a local idisk copy added to the finder sidebar continually disappear after restart. Any idea how to prevent this?

a workaround:
you can lock this file via command + i
Library > Preferences > com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
to keep your sidebar setting,
then reboot
or
open Terminal and write:
defaults write com.apple.finder QuitMenuItem 1 < this will add a Quit command to the Finder
then:
killall Finder
Quit the Finder via Command + Q every time you mount iDisk...
it works for me, use at your own risk

Hi,
I suspect the IE require reboot and TS cannot catch this. So the TS cannot resume its state.

Folder aliases put in "PLACES" on sidebar disappear after rebooting

I recently got a Mac mini and when I set it up I imported my user settings, applications, etc. from my old "Macintosh HD" volume I took out of my G5 Mac running OS X 10.4.11. I can drag folders onto the sidebar under "PLACES", but every time I reboot, they are no longer there. Can anyone tell me why this is happening or how to fix it so they stay there?
I think it may be a problem related to the location of the folders. They are on an external drive that I turn on and mount after I boot up my Mac. So maybe they are being removed because the target locations of the folders are no longer there? Is there a workaround for this so that they will stay on the sidebar even when the drive is not mounted?
Thanks,
Mike

Actually, I just ejected the drive the folders are on, and noticed that the folder aliases disappear from "PLACES" as soon as I eject the drive. Is there any way to make them stay there regardless of whether or not the drive is connected?
the only way to do that is to make actual aliases of those folders first and store those aliases somewhere on the main hard drive. then you can drag those aliases to the sidebar instead of the original items and they will stay there on drive disconnects. alternatively, you can put the originals in the toolbar instead of the sidebar and they will stay there too.

Why do items (folders) I place in the sidebar disappear overnight? Seriously, Yosemite?

Do a backup.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Re-launch Finder by restarting the computer and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

Windows 2003 R2 Enterprise SP2- File Share suddently no one can access. After reboot, it is back normal. Why?

We have file server, which is using windows 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition, Service Pack 2. Today suddently no one can access its file share. I try to login to the server and open services, but it is so slow to respond. I have to reboot the machine. After the
server reboot, it is back normal. Any one know why?
Here are the system errors shown before the machine rebooted. First question, I am not sure which error really causes the problem. The machine is set to use WSUS to get windows update. On the automatic updates, it is set to "Download updates
for me, but let me choose when to install them." Second question, why the machine is still trying to install update without permission? Please help. Thanks.

Hi,
As you mentioned, users suddenly cannot access file share, the issue most likely caused by third party software, such as antivirus software. Please refer to the thread below to troubleshoot the issue:
File share become inaccessible

For your second question, you can Configure Automatic Updates group policy and choose
Auto download and notify for install. This option automatically begins downloading updates and then notifies a logged-on administrative user prior to installing the updates
For more detailed information, please refer to the article below:

Links to Folders on a external drive changed after reboot

I've got the following problem:
I've created some links to folders on a external (Firewire 800, Lacie 2big Quadra) drive in my Finder.
At first glance they are working fine and looking good, listened under places.
But after Reboot the links are changed to random files or folders on my usual Mac HD. The links pointing to folders on the internal HD are working fine!
For example:
before: "Work, Projects, Invoices" – after: "proloj.msd;italianWS;logqhrscv.ll"
This happened (almost) everytime, so i can't really work with my places
I tried to start the external drive up, before the Macbook starts, but no change.
Is this a Finder bug or a problem with the external HD? Otherwise it's working very well. I heard some Rumours about the latest 10.5.6 Update and Problem with the finder?
BTW - i got all updates from Apple

It happened again – but now i got pictures
After freshly adding the links:
http://dort.entlang.com/before.png
And after reboot:
http://dort.entlang.com/after.png
And the new links are not so random as it seems! "lpoptions.1.gz" is always the first entry.

File sharing between Mac Mini and iMac "breaks" after reboot of either device, and won't restore. Why? Running Maverick 10.9.1 on both. File sharing is setup on both. Help.

I'm a new user - recent convert from longtime Windows to Apple. Thought having desktops and computing aligned with phones and tablets would help. Not so far.
I have a MacMini running Mavericks 10.9.1, and an iMac running Mavericks 10.9.1. File Sharing is set up on both. If either device is rebooted for any reason, file sharing from the Mac Mini to the iMac "breaks" and will not easily restart. Various things eventually brings the connection back - usually having to do with checking and unchecking File Sharing, the AFP button, and/or the SMB button on the iMac - but never the same procedure twice in a row. File Sharing from the iMac to the Mac Mini is never disrupted - always comes back up without a problem. Screen Sharing also works between both without fail, and comes up after reboot of either. No problem there. Only difficulty is from Mac Mini to the iMac.
Why? Any ideas?

Should also clarify - usually takes multiple hours of checking/unchecking file sharing settings in order to restore the share between Mac Mini and iMac. NEVER happens automatically.
This is disruptive because I've got the Mac Mini pointing to several file locations on the iMac for various things - photos, music, etc. - and they all hang up unless the share is restored. Real bummer.

Getting rid of burn folders in the Places sidebar

A few weeks ago I was burning some CDs. When I was done I ended up with two burn folder icons both named "Untitled CD" in my Places sidebar. These folders no longer exist but I cannot seem to remove them from the sidebar.
I went into X11/Terminal and tried using both find and ls -R -l | grep "Untitled" and found nothing.
Suggestions on how to remove these icons?

Hold down CMD and drag them off. It's a new change for 10.6.7

HT1349 Why does iPhone ask for apple password after rebooting?

Why does iPhone ask for apple password after rebooting? It just started to do that recently. I've had iPhone5 for several months now and it just started to do that.
Before I could reboot without having to type apple ID password to start using my phone.

Why does mls qos trust dscp dissapear after reboot?

The command takes but after reboot, Invlaid inputs detected show up and "mls qos tust dscp" is gone from every interface.
Happens on both 2960-24PC-S / 2960-48PST-S switches.

Hi,
thanks for your reply.
mls qos
interface GigabitEthernet3/34
description *** DATA VLAN 35 - VOICE VLAN 34 ***
switchport
switchport trunk native vlan 36
switchport trunk allowed vlan 34,36
switchport mode trunk
mls qos trust dscp
no cdp enable
spanning-tree portfast trunk
If i don't include the global 'mls qos' command then the voice packets keep the dscp 46 value. If I add the mls qos command this causes the switch to set the dscp values to zero.
Thanks again
ps. there are some other mls commands on the switch... i don't know if these could interfere but they were already on there so i'm reluctant to remove them..

- One can change the user home pages. The new homepages are found & work ok after closing and reopening Firefox.
- However, after rebooting the laptop (HP Elitebook), old Firefox home pages reappear, they replace the new ones.
- If I remember correctly this bug appeared already prior Firefox 4.0, this malfunction/ bug was noted in some last winter version before the v 4.0.
- Help/ Bug fix is appreciated!

Closed all firefox windows by clicking the x 'cancel', then 'close tabs'. After reboot, couldn't recover open tabs, (options were not highlighted under History , i.e. Recently Closed Tabs or Recently Closed Windows). Why couldn't I recover my tabs?

When rebooting mac, I closed all firefox windows by clicking the cancel "x" and then clicked "close tabs". After rebooting I could not recover my open tabs, as none of the options were highlighted under History , i.e. Recently Closed Tabs or Recently Closed Windows.

Why won't monitor clalibration stay on after reboot?

Hi all,
I just got a new Asus VE228 monitor and it looked really bright and washed out. So I adjusted the brightness and ran calibration to get it the way I like it.
The problem is that after reboot, the calibration is gone and I have to go into the dispaly panel and click the color tab and the color gets selected and looks fine until next reboot.
It automatically creates a profile neamed VE228. So I named mine that and there are two by that name. If I go into the display profiles folder and delete
the one auto created, named VE228-00000469-0000-22FA-0000-00001A48BE81, it just creates a new one wiith bad settings. If I rename my good setting file with that name, then it just wipes out the settings. I even tried messing with the file and folder permissions on the display profiles folder.
Anybody know how to keep my monitor settings so I don't have to open the displays control panel after every boot?
Thanks a lot!
Scott

If I go into the display profiles folder and delete the one auto created, named VE228-00000469-0000-22FA-0000-00001A48BE81, it just creates a new one with bad settings.
The OS isn't creating that one. In the old days, all (better) monitors came with a floppy disk, or CD that had the vendor supplied profile on it. It was a big waste of money to produce these things. People who actually used them lost the disks. Or, in most cases, they didn't use them at all.
At least five years ago (I think more like 10), monitor manufacturers started putting the supplied profile on a chip in the monitor itself. This is now true of any display, whether it's a stand alone monitor, or a built in unit such as an iMac, laptop (any brand), etc.
Both the Windows and Mac OS automatically see and copy this default profile from the monitor to the hard drive. That's what the file in the /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays/ folder is. No matter how many times you delete it, the OS will copy it from the monitor again.
As far as the issue itself, that is somewhat common with Mountain Lion, though I haven't seen it with Snow Leopard.
The file that holds that information is in your user Library folder. From the desktop, hold down the Option key and choose Go > Library. Open the Preferences folder and put the following file in the trash:
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
Restart, or log out and log back in. Select your monitor profile again. Hopefully, this time it will stick. There are other settings that will go back to the defaults when you remove this file. You'll have to wade through the System Preferences and see what needs to be put back where you had it.

After rebooting, why do folders in Places sidebar disappear?
