Connected Servers Not Showing in sidebar

Just taken delivery of a new 27" iMac - very very nice indeed.
However a couple of irritations and one for this community.
At our office we connect to an Xserve running 10.75 server (the iMac is Mountain Lion).
We used to be able to drag our connected server partitions to the sidebar under devices. On a restart they automatically reappeared once connected.
This does not happen on my new iMac.
Any suggestions welcome.

Try going to Finder Preference/Sidebar and under Shared select Connected Servers.
If the box is already selected, try deselecting it and then reselecting it.

  • Connected Servers Not Showing Up in Sidebar

    When I connect to a server it used to show up in the sidebar of a Finder Window under Shared (I think) or perhaps Places. It no longer does despite the fact that I have Connected Servers checked under the Sidebar tab of Finder Preferences. How did I lose it, and how can I get it back?
    Regards,
    Gregory

    Just want to let you know that I got rid of the file
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
    (actually dragged it onto the Desktop), logged out and in again, and now the Finder sidebar is working properly again.
    Once I saw that things were OK I threw out the old sidebarlists.plist file.

  • Connected servers not showing up in side menu

    I have had my connected Windows servers showing up in my side menu. I log in to them every day. Then one started not showing up, but was still on my desktop. So I dragged it over each day. Now both aren't showing up there. I have tried disconnecting and relogging in to try to reset them, but no luck. My finder preferences say they should be there, but they are not. Is there a way to get them back in the side bar permanently? Thanks.

    Thanks for the info on trashing the sidebars.plist file.
    I was getting a weird phantom server showing up. Called itself brn_86401b. No idea how or why it appeared but it started when I tried to get file sharing working with my three computers. Two Macs and a Toshiba PC.
    All work well but the brn guy decided to join in. I'm in the middle of of nowhere with no neighbours so no idea what happened . I tried to get rid of it but to no avail so decided to hit the forums for help.
    Trashed the plist file did the trick. Thanks.

  • My usb that i have been using on my computer for a while suddenly stopped working, but is still glowing and letting me know that it is connected, but not showing up in disk utility

    Either the physical drive or the enclosure electronics has failed. The light you are seeing is powered by the USB connection, the power, electricity, all USB ports put out. That doesn't mean the actual physical hard drive or the USB to SATA bus electronics are working properly. If it doesn't show in Disk Utility then it is DEAD.
    Most of the time it is the enclosures electronics that fail. Removing the physical drive from the enclosure and put it in another enclosure or using a SATA to USB adapter, one that has it's own AC power supply, might allow you to get the files off the drive.

  • Adobe Connect does not show tool pointer/cursor when sharing Photoshop...

    I am an online instructor and one of the courses I teach is a Photoshop course. Each week I host a Live Lecture session where we use Adobe Connect to demonstrate techniques and tools in Photoshop CS6.
    I am receiving several complaints from students because Adobe Connect does not correctly show my cursor/pointer when it changes for each tool in Photoshop. All the students see is an arrow with a small icon of a face/monitor.
    This is confusing to the students, because I am trying to demonstrate how to use a tool and they are unable to see the actual tool. For example, when I select the brush tool - they should be able to see the brush circle as the cursor. I then demonstrate how to resize the brush - but they cannot see it. Another example is any of the healing/cloning tools. If I select the healing brush tool, they cannot see the circle (brush). I then demonstrate how to record a healing point by selecting the Option (alt) key - but again the students cannot see the pointer change to the crosshairs to record the healing point - as all they see is the arrow with icon at all times.
    Students are complaining that they are not able to comprehend what I am demonstrating because they are not able to get the full affect of the demonstration without seeing it how it should be. Prior to switching to Adobe Connect, we used WebEx - which showed the students everything correctly as I was demonstrating it. I was amazed to learn that Adobe Connect does not show everything - especially since I am using another Adobe program within Adobe Connect - you would think they would be fully compatible and able to show everything.
    Thank you

    I just saw this option for the first time last week. Very exciting to see it finally in Connect! There is a small amount of lag for the viewers, but nothing that can't be compensated for.

  • My 5th gen nano will not sync win 7 .says connected but not show in itunes. driver is updated ,working properly ....help

    my 5th gen nano ,has updated driver ,working properly. ipod connected but not showing in itunes ?

    By the way, I totally restored everything. It was ok. It starts to 'unrecognize' my iPod Classic when it comes to synching with iPhoto. After this happened all the menus disappeared from my iPod (music, Podcasts, movies synched fine). It seems to be a problem when synching with iPhoto. It was the same thing before.

  • Mounted SMB share does not show in sidebar but shows up in computer

    Mounted SMB share does not show in sidebar and is unavailable to some apps (itunes, chrome).  Shares do show up when browsing computer.  Where should I start?
    This started after upgrade to 10.7.3

    Interesting short term solution - drag and drop share from finder->computer to sidebar.  This only works short term - after reboot share will still not show in sidebar. 

  • External drive not showing in sidebar

    I have set my Finder Preferences for the Sidebar to show connected servers and external drives. However, I can not get a mounted external drive to show under Devices in the sidebar. It has appeared previously, but now I can't get it to stick on the sidebar when dragging the external drive from the finder window to the sidebar. Noticed some older posts on the Internet from others experiencing this issue. Is there a fix?
    MacBook Pro RD, early 2013, OS 10.8.5, with attached Dell external monitor.

    Can you see it in Disk Utility? If so, try the mount command in the top menu bar.
    You can also try deleting the Finder .plist.
    In Finder hold down the option/alt key while selecting the Go menu item. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Re-launch Finder by logging out/in 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 ones.
    If you want to make your user library permanently visible, run the below command in Applications/Terminal.
    chflags nohidden ~/Library/
    You will need to do that after any updates.

  • AFP shares not showing in Sidebar

    I am having problems getting afp shares to show in the Shared section of the Sidebar. The Sidebar is showing two of the SMB shares but nothing else. All of the AFP shares show on the other two Leopard computers. I have tried the following:
    1. Turned Bonjour computers on and off in Finder Preferences.
    2. Use DiscWarrior to clean the disc and have repaired permissions several times.
    3. Tried deleting the com.apple.network.identification.pist file.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks for any help.
    Peter

    I have this problem from time to time. To get them to show, in the Finder I go to Go > Connect to Server > then click on Browse. The will not show them in the left sidebar, but will show under the Network. I know it does not solve the problem. I'd like to know a fix as well.

  • Ipod Classic connected but not showing in Itunes under Devices

    I know this is similar to a few of the other issues that are described, if anyone can offer a link to another thread where the resolution is posted, that would be great, thanks!
    I plug my ipod into my computer, I get a windows message saying some files may be damaged, Itunes actually automatically loads up but my Ipod is not shown in the Devices list in Itunes
    I have been wracking my brain over this!
    I have uninstalled/reinstalled Itunes 3 times, have reset my ipod manually (& now have no music on it at all!) have put the Ipod into disk mode, have taken it out of disk mode. On my laptop I've gone into Services - stopped/then started the Apple Device. I've removed the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver & reinstalled all to no avail! It still wont show up in Itunes!
    Just to clarify;
    - My laptop CAN see my ipod in its list of devices under My computer
    - When I connect the Ipod, I get a window message from Windows saying some files may be damaged & it suggests running a scan.
    - Itunes will start up when i plug in my IPOD, however
    - My IPOD will not show up in the list of devices in Itunes
    Another thing, I have 120GB ipod when I did a restore it deleted all the music but it is telling me that i only have 111GB memory available?!?!
    After reading through the forums I did see someone state somewhere that you can restore your Ipod from Windows but I can't find the link that gives a list of instructions on how to do this.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!
    thanks

    Hello there,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Regarding the error message about needing to scan and fix your iPod, see this article and follow the provided instructions to prevent the error message from reappearing. It may also resolve your "iPod missing in iTunes" issue as well.
    http://www.futureofrealestatetechnology.com/general-real-estate-technology/resol ve-vista-scan-and-fix-error-when-plugging-in-ipod-or-other-devices/
    Yes you can use the tools provided by Windows to reformat your iPod. Just make sure to format it as FAT32 and that the "Quick Format" option is not selected. For complete instructions, see this article.

  • Photosmart C310: WiFi connected, but not showing up in network via Mac or iPhone

    I am using a HP Photosmart Premium C310. It is connected to WiFi, but does not show up on Mac or iPhone via Wifi:
    - iPhone Airprint does not find the printer (select printer)
    - Mac "add printer" does not find the printer
    - newest HP Setup Application (HP_Lion_Ink_SW_v12.13.14, Dec 2011) finds printer only as long as connected via USB, reconfigures WiFi settings, but  can not re-find the printer when USB cable is taken off
    - I can send "ping" to the printer using the IP address shown in touchscreen info panel so it is online in WiFi
    - I tried to reset factory settings for settings + network settings, no change...
    Is that a defect or any idea how to fix the problem?
    Best regards, any help appreciated...

    Hi,
    Per your description, i believe the issue may being caused by your router compatibility with Apple Bonjour, which require multicasting support in order to operate propertly.
    In order to verify, try to temporary create an ad hoc connection between your iPhone and the printer and check for any change:
    Step One : Restore the network defaults on the HP All-in-One
    On the product control panel, touch the Setup icon ( ). The Setup menu displays.
    Touch Wireless .
    Touch and then slide your finger down on the display to select Restore Network Defaults .
    When asked 'Are you sure? ' touch Yes .
    After the network defaults restore, touch Wireless Connection , and then touch On .
    The message 'Wireless Radio is now on ' should briefly display on the control panel and the Wireless light ( ) on the HP product should start to blink. The HP product is now openly broadcasting the ad hoc wireless network.
    Step Two: Create an ad hoc wireless network connection between the HP All-in-One and the Apple device
    On your Apple device, tap the Settings icon ( ).
    Tap Wi-Fi .
    Under Choose a network , find the name that starts with HPC310 , and then tap it. A checkmark should display to the left of the name.
    Wait three minutes to make sure that the ad hoc connection is established and try printing from the iPhone by taping the Action icon ( ) and then tapping Print.
    If you were able to print through the direct printer, it means the router more likely cause the problems..
    Please clarify your router brand, model and the router firmware version if available.

    Shlomi

    My blu-ray is connected to my network.  I know this because I have no issue streaming Netflix.  However, it is not showing up on my network map.
    How do I fix this?

    Oh!  And here's another weird thing.  My nephew was visiting yesterday, helping me move furniture and he asked could he get on my wifi.  I opened the network lock and put the password in his phone myself and it never gave me a notification that he had connected.  Later, my dad came over and when his phone connected to my wifi, it let me know that he had connected.  Wonder what's different about these 3 devices (blu-ray, 2 iphones).  None were listed in the network map before I allowed them to connect yesterday.

  • DB connect datasource not showing new fields on proposal tab please help

    Hi Experts,
    We have a Datasource to a SQL view, we recently added new fields to the view, but they are not showing on the proposal tab, we can preview data (no new fields there either), we verified the connection and everything seems to be just fine but the new fields are nowhere to be found, we even created a new datasource for that view and the new fields are just not showing.
    Can someone please help me with this?
    Thanks in Advance.

    Not even sure if anyone is looking at this anymore - I have a similar issue and haven't solved it using SAP standard - instead I have been using the workaround as follows.
    Add the field(s) and details to table RSDSSEGFD Once done here reactivate the datasource.

  • JBL Charge not working on a Windows7 PavilionG6. Connected but not showing as an audio device.

     I have a:
    HP Pavilion G6-1242sa
    Product: A5H10EA#ABU
    Serial: {Personal Information Removed}
    I am using Windows 7 64-Bit. 
    I am trying to pair my JBL Charge Bluetooth  speaker to my HP Pavilion. I have installed the latest drivers for the speaker from Ralink. I am able to detect and connect  the JBL Charge through my Bluetooth dongle . The device is added and installed as a Bluetooth device when I connect  my computer to my Bluetooth speaker. All seems good.
    But I cannot see the Bluetooth speaker in my Playback Devices when I right click over the speaker icon. When I right clik on the properties of the device in my Bluetooth device  I am given the tabs of:
    General, Hardware, Services, Bluetooth.
    I am not given the option of Audio!
    I have installed the HP Wireless Assistant and can only see my Wireless LAN Adapter. Bluetooth is not showing at all!!
    I am able to turn the Bluetooth on and off in the notifications area via the Bluetooth icon though.
    Please could you give me some advice on how to resolve my issue as I am not sure if its a sound problem or a bluetooth connection problem.
    Kind regards
    Chris 

    Hi Mario,
    I have been through the help documents regarding Blutooth but have not found my problem unfortunately.
    I have downloaded the drivers for the device from Ralink. I tried to download the drivers from Broadcom but whenever I ran the installation I got the error message saying that it did not detect any Bluetooth devices, even though the Bluetooth speaker was on discovery mode.
    Strangely, my HP Pavilion G6 can detect the Bluetooth speaker in discovery mode and is able to pair to it. But when I open the HP Wireless Assistant, Bluetooth is not shown. Nor is the device shown as a playback device in sound settings. Nor is there a way you can right click and open a connection to the Bluetooth speaker in Devices and Printers > Bluetooth Devices > JBL Charge.
    I have tried downloading all sorts of driver software from HP but nothing seems to work. I cannot think of anything else to update on my computer to maybe shift something into place.
    Below is a screen grab of all the sp's I have used to resolve this problem. Nothing is working!!!
    Is there anything else I can check or configure or try??
    Kind regards,
    Chris
