Can I rearrange the Finder Sidebar items?
Is it possible to rearrange the Finder Sidebar items? I would like to get the "10.6" order: Devices>Network>Places
I find this extremely annoying as well. Of course you can drag any volume to the favorites list - BUT - if you unmount them, they do NOT reappear there when they are re-mounted. You have to manually add them back again.
Also, I work with a lot of volumes that require frequent mounting and un-mounting. It's a time waster to try and keep them in the favorites list so I've given up.
Constantly having to scroll DOWN to get to the bottom of the list is ridiculous. So combine that with the fact that there are NO MORE COLORED icons in the sidebar. Talk about ***-backward-going-in-the-wrong-direction-mentality.... So with my poor eyesight, I find basic navigation within the Finder becoming more and more of a strain.
Seems like Apple is going out of their way making things MORE difficult for the Pro user as they try to simplify things for "switchers" and for the "rest of us...".
While I'm on a roll, I find that every time there is a big issue from us users about something that has been changed in the OS with an update, more and more of the solutions are from power users that post up terminal commands to rectify those issues, or try to direct people on how to edit .plist files. These people are certainly trying to help but working in the terminal is VERY risky business for the average user.
Configurability from the Finder is slowly going away with every new OS incarnation, forcing average users to dig deeper into areas they should NOT have to be dealing with. You see the problem here?
And lastly, I'm not hater. Far from it. I've been a loyal customer for 20 years which is why it's so sad and frustrating to me.
It's just that I hate to watch this slow yet steady progression into the pale grey realms of un-configurability...

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*.

How to use the sharing function with other pc on the Finder sidebar?
I discver my housemates' pc's names under "sharing" on the Finder sidebar. We all use the same wifi network at home. Neither they nor I have enabled anything so I'm just wondering what is that for and where am I able to control sharing options?
Also I can even access their iTunes libraries. How do these all work? Am I able to set any security options at all?On the doc page (this is also in the download package),

How do I rearrange the order of items in a reminder list?
How do I rearrange the order of items in a reminders list?
ICal Reminders won't sort on the actual device it was intended for - the Iphone
I just talked to Apple Express service over this problem. I went to the trouble of transferring my to-do list onto icloud Reminders - where each item asked for a priority ranking and where you are then given options for how to sort all the Reminders you entered - so that it can actually be useable as any Calendar/time management system would be. I chose "by priority" of course, but you can also choose alphabetically, etc. It must be said, at least to Apple, apparently, that the point of doing all this is so that the Reminders are available on your actual device - my iphone. The Reminders all synced immediately to the Iphone. However, the Reminders list is an unsorted jumble on my iphone. Even when I tap out a Reminder on my iphone itself and choose a priority, the item remains at the bottom of the list as the last thing I typed in. Apple Express Support "explains" that the priority ranking and the sorting choices are "not supported" on the device you want to use them on - the iphone. They offered me "an article" that explains this in detail. In other words, engaging with the Reminder function and choosing priorities and choosing sort orders is all just a cruel joke wasting your time. I would have been better off just printing off my Reminders list on paper and circling the high priority items in red ink. Oh - but you can't print it out either.
Unbelieveable. Apple's ICal Reminder function actually and actively leads you to engage with completing details and choices that don't even function, or in other words - aren't "supported" on the Apple device they are stated to be designed for. Is there a device on which this function is actually supported? "Not at this time"
The only way to have your to-do list sorted on the iphone is to assign a calendar date for each one of them and then they only appear on that specific date. You would not be able to view your whole list in anything other than the order you happened to enter the items. No calendar/time management system I know of makes you put a date on every item in a task list - some tasks have a due date, but most don't. And every calendar/time management system allows you to sort your list, or view your list in a sorted order. And print it out also.
Apple advertises this Icloud Ical/Reminders system as a time managment tool and fails to tell us that vital functions don't even work on your iphone. -
How do I get the icons to display in the finder sidebar?
For some odd reason, the icons in the finder sidebar on my MacBook Pro are not displaying (that means that they are not there at all, not just grey).
I have already deleted the plist file and restarted to no effect. any suggestions out there?Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -

Well, if you normally use the lowest resolution, then yes.

Also it CAN be done in iMovie 08, why isn't it possible with other Apple apps?
I can't answer that question. We don't work for Apple here, we're all just plain users who contribute our time, but you can send Mac OS X Feedback

What happened to the finder sidebar menu?
I have had to spend sooooo much time trying to locate files that I just closed! What happened to the Finder menu that listed TODAY, PAST WEEK, etc? It's nervewracking! I don't want to open the files but upload them. I don't like that I can't just find them easilyl in the menu format before...... I'm not sure I like this so-called upgrade.... on the iphone it's cool, but on the MAC.. not so sure I like it.
Under your stuff, you can click on Profile and it'll show your equipment - you can change it there.
Now, as for the Finder Sidebar, if you go to Finder Preferences and click on Sidebar, it will show everything that can be shown there. Some changes were made in Lion - one of them is "all my files" - I don't need that, so I unchecked it, but you may want to try it to see if that can be useful for you. And, under the Go Menu, you can use Go To Folder. I never used any of the options you've used simply because I've never needed that. Maybe you can arrange/file your stuff by name so it'll be easier to find? -
My new LaCie external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive.
The same thing happened recently between Final Cut Express and my other LaCie external hard drive used as the Scratch disk. It fixed itself.
I've run out of ideas. Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.have you done some searches on FCPx and time machine? Is there a known issue with using a TM drive with FCPx? dunno but ...wait...I'll take 60 sec for you cause I'm just that kind of guy.... google...." fcpx time machine problem" Frist page link
http://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/fcpx-bug-best-practices-for-using-external-hard- drives-and-final-cut-pro-x/
You cannot have time machine backups on your hard drive if you intend to use it in FCPX.

How can I change the name of item in TableViewController iOS
How can I change the name of item in TableViewController? I want to be able to change the title of an item if I added one. Code:

// Created by Damian on 20/02/15.
// Copyright (c) 2015 Tika Software. All rights reserved.
#import "ViewController.h"
@interface ViewController ()
These outlets to the buttons use a `strong` reference instead of `weak` because we want
to keep the buttons around even if they're not inside a view.

Sounds like you have more going on than just a simple issue with Home Sharing and more dealing with Wi-Fi syncing. Start with the article below and see if that may resolve it.

If it does not work out, then may I suggest contacting Apple for further assistance to walk you through it or just take that time that you were talking about to sort it out.

I'm in a multi-page Pages document, how can i rearrange the pages or insert blank pages in front of pages? Also, is there a way to show the ruler both horizontally and vertically?
Not on my document. I have a 7 page document open. The "flashing vertical bar" is at the top of page 3. I have the thumbnail view showing. I click page break and two blank pages are added to the end of my document. I have to scrool thru the pages to see that the 2 pages were added as they do not appear in the layout view... I'm not sure if it is inserting a "section" as it adds two blank pages.. But I am clicking on "INSERT PAGE BREAK".. So guess there are still a lot of bugs to fix..
Thanks again -

How can I rearrange the pages in a PDF without changing the assigned paged numbers.
How can I rearrange the pages in a PDF without changing the assigned paged numbers? These correspond to the original document folio numbers.
In theory it would be possible to 'record and play back' the page numbers using a folder-level script, but it's far from trivial. You would have to use the doc.movePage() function - presumably driven by a dialog box - to do the page shuffling so there was a way to track what was being done, then swap the page 'labels' of the two affected pages. That's where it gets messy.
We have functions in the JSAPI which can read and write the page label, but they don't do things in a logical way. The 'getPageLabel()' function simply returns a string, but the 'setPageLabel()' method expects to be told the numbering scheme, prefix, etc. You'd have to parse the string and work out what scheme it was implementing. -

How do I change the Finder Sidebar size?
It an earlier preview build of Lion, I was able to change the Finder sidebar text size to make it smaller. The default was too large, taking up too much real estate. Unfortunately, I don't remember what I did to fix it. Finder Preferences and View Options don't seem to offer any option to change the sidebar's font.
Does anyone know?Go to System Preferences/General and check the Sidebar Icon Size box. Make your selection. This controls the Mailbox sidebar and the Finder sidebar.
Previous F.A.N reply answered this for me. I'm just adding the solution to this thread. I couldn't easily find the way to close out this query.
