Can't open devices on the Finder's sidebar

I used to able to switch between devices on the Finder's sidebar. Recently I cant do that anymore. Suspected that I might have done something wrong with the setting, could someone help? Thanks.

Sorry I missed this Charles.
If the sidebar plist isn't getting rebuilt, then there's something else also wrng with your OS install...
Appears to be time for An Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...

But first, Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.

How can I open FireFox with the 'Find' box/bar always open?

When FireFox opens, click 'Edit' and 'Find'. This opens the box/bar at the bottom of the screen. I use it so often, I would like FireFox to open with the 'Find' box/bar already open.

You are welcome. Happy New Year, Aivas.

Can't open documents through the finder

Hi,
I hope this isn't the wrong forum for this question.
I have a new Mini Core Duo running OS X 10.4.5.
I've installed MS Office 2004 (including the latest patches).
If I try to open a Word (or Excel, Powerpoint, etc.) document by double-clicking on it in the Finder, I get an "operation could not be completed" message box (the error code is -10660).
If use Word to directly open the document it works fine.
I am pretty new to OS X so I am not sure where I should even start looking for the problem...
Any tips would be appreciated!

I found my problem:

I moved the trial version (included with the OS) to the trash, then installed the full version of office.
I guess whatever keeps track of file associations got confused - the Finder was still trying to use the trial version of Office, so all I had to do was empty the trash and the problem disappeared!

CC icon is not appearing in my menu bar and I can't open it from the finder. apps work from within osx environment , just not CC app

You might try uninstalling the desktop app using the Cleaner Tool: helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
Then reinstall it from creative.adobe.com/products/download/creative-cloud

I ordered the full creative cloud on sunday and received an order number but still can't open any of the programs. When i check the status of my order online, it says it can't find it. Is this normal after 3 days?

I ordered the full creative cloud on sunday and received an order number but still can't open any of the programs. When i check the status of my order online, it says it can't find it. Is this normal after 3 days? I tried asking in a chat window instead of the forum but no one answered and after about ten minutes my screen restarted and closed the chat window down. It seems a little frustrating not knowing what happened to my order and not being able to contact anyone. Is all this usual with Adobe or are they just having technical problems this week?

The only way you will be able to track that iPod is if it is turned on and connected to a wifi network by the person that has it.

HT4759 Is it true that when setting up devices with the find my phone app you must use the same account for ICloud ? If so how do I delete a current account to make it read as the other ICloud accounts?

I'm setting up my devices with the find my phone app. I have accomplished setting up 2 devices. The third I can't setup because I can't change the iCloud account.
My understanding from reading that the iCloud accounts must use the same name on all devices. How do I change that account in my phone settings?

You don't have to use the same iCloud account in order to track all your devices. You just have to sign into the iCloud account being used on the device you are trying to track in order to track it. When you sign in on icloud.com and open Find My iPhone, you will see all the devices with Find My iPhone enabled that are using the account you signed in with. To track a device using a different account, simply sign out, then sign back in using the ID the new device is using.
The Find My iPhone app works the same way. It will display devices based on the iCloud account you sign in with on the app. To track a device using a different account, sign out, then sign back in with the iCloud ID that the new device is using.

Can't open certain folders in Finder. Please help!

I recently upgraded from my old PowerBook G4 to a MacBook Pro, and certain folders that I transferred via flash drive from my old computer won't open. When I double click any of these folders, the Finder window immediately closes and then all the icons on my desktop disappear and reappear (after about half a second). This is really starting to get on my nerves! I know that the contents of these folders are intact, because I can see them in the "Open..." dialog in certain programs, but I can't view them in the Finder, so I can't move, copy, or do much else with them. Does anybody know what I can do about this? I would be eternally grateful for any help.

Incidentally, another thing I did was expand one of the offending folders in List view in my Documents folder, so I actually can't even open my Documents folder in Finder. In other words, say I had a folder in my Documents folder called "Pix". In the List view of the Documents folder, I clicked the arrow next to "Pix" and since that expanded "Pix," which I can't seem to open, it shut down the Finder window. So now whenever I try to open my Documents folder, it shuts down the window, since it's also trying to open the (expanded) "Pix" folder. A stopgap measure for un-expanding that folder would also be appreciated, if anybody has any smart ideas.
Thanks.

I have downloaded adobe digital editions but can't open or launch the program

I have downloaded Adobe Digital editions but can't open or launch the program.

What operating system.
If Vista, read http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-editions/kb/installing-digital-editions-20-windows.html
If XP, quite a few people have problems. One resolution is to install the older 1.7.2 version instead (which also avoids various other bugs).
Version 1.7.2 is a little difficult to find,
I found it for PC at http://www.tucows.com/preview/853736/Adobe-Digital-Edition-For-EBooks
I'm not sure where there is a Mac version.

I can not open timeline and the canvas can not display because out of memory.

I can not open timeline and the canvas can not diplay. I get a pop up saying "error out of memory" what does it mean and what can I do?

Usually this is because you've got graphics that are cmyk or grayscale not RGB, or that are larger than 4000 by 4000 pixels. Move them on your hard disk so fcp can't find them and make them rgb and resize to an acceptable pixel dimension.

TS3376 If you had not registered your device on the find my IPhone app, but you know the serial number of that device, could you still be able to track your device

If you had not registered your device on the find my IPhone app, but you know the serial number of that device, could you still be able to track your device

No, you can only potentially track it if you have Find My iPhone enabled on it, you can't do it via the serial number.
If this isn't hypothetical, then if your iPad has been stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc. and contact your carrier.

my iphone screen is broken ,how can i open device from laptop ??
plase ,help me what can i do to fix this device & the VGA is not work good i think there is short in VGA ,please help me what can i do....

Connect the phone to iTunes on your computer, right click on it in the device list and choose "backup". This will save your data and settings.
Purchases can be transferred by choosing "transfer purchases".
After that import photos or videos to your computer.
You can use the backup again to restore the phone after it has been serviced.
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

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*.

I share an Apple ID with my family can we still all use the find my friends app or do we need our own Apple ID's?

I share an Apple ID with my family...can we still all use the find my friends app or do we need to get our own Apple ID's?

To avoid confusion and merging data... it's always suggested that each person have their own apple id.
