Can't get the Sidebar to appear after 10.6.8 update

After updating to 10.6.8, and checking Finder preferences to include Sidebar items, they no longer appear in my Finder? In fact the Finder looks very different. What happened?

Yes. But that wasn't the problem. What fixed my problem was this Terminal script:
rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
killall Finder
Thanks.

  • HT1600 I have an Apple TV 2nd Gen, iPad 2 and can't get the icon to appear when i swipe from left to right. What am I missing? I am able to get the 'Home sharing' 'user and password on my Mac.

    I have an Apple TV 2nd Gen, iPad 2 and can't get the icon to appear when i swipe from left to right. What am I missing?
    I am able to get the 'Home sharing' 'user and password on my Mac.
    Also using IPad 2 I am able to get the ITunes to accept the user name and same password as the Mac.
    However, the only way I can see the 'Home sharing; icon is in Music on the Ipad. When I tap on the Icon it asks for a password.
    When I give the same password, it is rejected.
    Help!!!!

    Personally I think the iOS devices are poor at reconnecting  - Airplay establishes that a link is available but when the iPhone/iPad has been away from the house and rejoins the network i think AppleTV already thinks it's connected with a different IP address and fails to recognise it has joined the network again with new credentials.
    Something along those lines anyway.
    I find that a combination of restarting AppleTV, router and iOS device tends to fix it, but not for everyone.

  • I am trying to use share a Hitachi TourPro 2tb external hd using my Airport Extreme base station. I can't get the hd to appear in the disks section of the airport utility though.

    I've tried using a powered and non-powered USB hub without success. Plugging the hd directly into the airport didn't work either. The hd functions fine when plugged into a USB port on 3 other computers so it doesn't appear to be a hd issue. I've reset the airport with and without the hd attached but no success in getting the hd to appear in the airport utility. I followed all of the instructions in Apple's Airport support section but no luck.
    All my pc's are running on XP Pro (service pack3). The airport extreame is working flawlessly except for this one particular issue which, unfortunately, was one of the main reasons I purchased it. I've looked through numerous discussions already in the community and tried some suggestions such as attempting to map the drive using the airport's IP address but still no luck.
    Does anyone have any suggestions or can tell me what I'm missing in the set-up process?

    When trying to troubleshoot my problem I discovered a forum that was saying certain NTFS drives work just fine
    Apple support says that an NTFS or exFAT drive cannot be used when connected to the AirPort Extreme.
    I suppose it is possible that someone might have been using some type of special software on the drive that might perform a "conversion", but without more details, it is hard to know.
    Note: ExFAT and NTFS formats aren't supported.

  • How can you get the dashes to appear inbetween phone numbers

    Is there anyway that I can get the dashes to appear so phone numbers do not look like a big block of numbers.  so instead of 18001234567 is goes 1-800-123-4567.  I looked in options and it does not look like it is possible

    Hi,
    The dashes aren't necessary for the actual call so the Blackberry doesn't waste space (memory) holding the character.
    Make sense?

  • How can I get the cursor to appear in the main search window on the Google home page by default?

    The cursor in my Firefox appears in the address bar. I would like it to appear by default in the main search window on my default home page, Google.com. How?

    This is all very Greek to me. Is it really this hard just to get the cursor to appear in the main search window when Google.com is one's default home page?
    I don't really know much about Firefox extensions. My list includes Adblock Plus 1.3.8; Duplicate This Tab 1.2; Java Console 6.0.25; Java Quick Starter 1.0; Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant 0.0.0; New Tab Homepage 0.4.3. Nothing unusual is indicated for either Java item, Console having been updated 4/27/2011.
    What to do next?
    Thank you.

  • I can't get the connect to work after base installion.

    Hello, everyone, I am new to Arch Linux.
    I follow the installation guide install Arch Linux, Everything run pretty smooth, except at the part when I need to choose the package, I am not so sure what I am doing. So I choose everything except for the thing that I am sure I would never need.
    When the installation is complete, I try to go to the next setup which update my system, but some how, I can't get the connection working, switch mean, I couldn't do anything beyond that. (both wireless and wired network, BTW I am using DSL and I do try the adsl thing)
    Every thing seem make sense to me during the installation, but I just can't get the network connection working.
    BTW: my laptop is a Toshiba portege M100.
    Any idea?
    Thanks

    Try typing in:
    dhcpcd eth0 (or whatever interface you are using)
    and hit enter, I had the same type of problem and this woke up my network connection.
    Edit: Also, once you gain your connection up and running, you might want to install ifplugd.  It is a daemon which will automatically configure your Ethernet device when a cable is plugged in and automatically unconfigure it if the cable is pulled, which is good for laptops.  Once installed make sure you put it in /etc/rc.conf under the DAEMONS section.
    Here is some info in the wiki http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Configuring_network

  • I purchased a new computer and transferred itunes, but can't get the podcasts I downloaded after the transfer to sync to my nano

    I purchased a new computer and transferred itunes to it but now can't get podcasts downloaded after the transfer to sync with device.

    So you have these podcasts downloaded and stored in your iTunes library is that correct?  However, they will not sync with the device?  Are these video or audio podcasts?
    How is your Nano currently configured to sync podcasts?  You can check this by viewing the iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes.  To view this tab, plug your iPod in and select it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes to bring yourself to the Summary tab that now shows to the right.  Look for the Podcasts tab along the top and select it.  Here you can configure how and what Podcasts are synced.
    If you do happen to make any changes from under this tab, be sure to hit the Apply button to sync the updated changes to the Nano.

  • How can I get the Airplay to appear on my iPhone 4S and iPad 2?

    I have an iPad 2 and an iPhone 4S, and I have never seen the Airplay button that should appear on each device. I have checked wifi and it seems to works fine for printer and e-readers. Also, I have updated to the latest OS version as of this week. Is it possible to get to appear now? I want to use iPad in my classroom, so I need this feature to function. Thanks!

    The Airplay icon only appears if there's an Airplay enabled device that the iPhone or iPad  can find in the same network, or connected via bluetooth.
    How are you attempting to use Airplay?

  • How can I get the sidebar back in iTunes 12?

    The Sidebar is the MAIN part of iTunes I have used for several years.  Unfortunately, I made the mistake of updating iTunes to 12, and the Sidebar is completely gone.  As far as I can see there is no way to get it back.
    Does anyone know a way to restore the Sidebar?  If not, is there a way to revert my iTunes back to version 11?
    At this point, I will only be using my iTunes to back up my iPhone, that's it.  Until I get an iTunes that is more user friendly....one with a Sidebar....I will not be using iTunes for any other reason.  (Yes, I'll be boycotting the store....no purchases of any kind from iTunes from now on.)

    But it's not exactly the same. You can only look at one thing at a time. You no longer have the heading that says "Library" and then the music, movies, etc., listings under it. I am now migrating computers and this has made it a royal PITA. Before, I could have all the listings, including my shared library, and I could just drag-and-drop from my shared library to the new one. Not anymore. Now I have to go in and import. Which, like many other people, takes a long time because of the size of our music collections. My rock category alone looks like it's going to take several days. I don't have a flash drive large enough to just copy to that and then move that way.
    So thank you so very much Apple for once again fixing something that wasn't broken.

  • I can't get the ipad to respond after using configurator to supervise, I can't get the ipad to respond after using configurator to supervise

    I am updating and adding apps in configurator.  The iPad was working until I added apps.  I will not turn off.  Can take a screen shot; however no apps will open and iPad will not shutdown.

    Perform a Reset on the iPad (different from just restarting).
    Hold down on both the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds (ignore the red slider button). Keep holding both buttons until the Apple Logo appears. When you see the Apple logo on the black screen, let go of both buttons. This reset fixes a lot of iPad issues and might work to resolve the issue you're experiencing.
    Hope this helps!

  • I have a PowerBook G4 version 10.4 (yes old) but I can't get Fire Fox to back after I tried to update. I had it two days ago and then I got ambitious and tried

    I have an older version of the Mac Laptop - Power Book G4. My version is Mac OS 10.4. I had FireFox and really liked it. Gmail said I needed to update my version of Firefox so I got ambitious and tried to update my version on my old hardware and software.
    Can I get an older version for my old computer?
    Or, can I get a newer version modified for my older computer?
    Thank you - Kip Dunn - ''personal information was deleted by a moderator''

    The most recent version of Firefox you will be able to use on a computer that old is FF 3.6.28. It is available here:

  • How do I completely dump all my old downloaded tv shows and movies?  Can't get the 'x' to appear on most of them after attempting to edit

    How do I completely erase all the old tv shows and movies from my IPad?  Have to plow through so many to find the ones I want to watch. Edit and x doesn't work on most of them and I don't want to store them in ICloud

    The files are also saved as .m4v  .  I don't know what this means but for example, a tv show that won't play in iTunes 10.4.1 (10) is Isobel.m4v
    Please help me!!!

  • How can I get the songs on my iPhone to play since updating to iOS 5.1.1?

    Hi guys,
    I have an iPhone 3Gs and I've imported CD's into iTunes on my mac mini and synced it with my iPhone. Since I installed the latest iOS on my iPhone, some of the songs don't play all the way through, they skip to the next song. I listened to the songs in my iTunes library and each song plays through. Last night I tried to resolve the issue by removing the songs from my iPhone, syncing it again and adding the songs but it didn't work.
    Can anyone tell me what steps I need to take to resolve this issue?
    Thanks Guys :-)

    Anybody?
