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 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 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.

Mac to XP. Windows not showing up in Sidebar. And mystery computer.

Hello. I'm trying to establish a small connection between my Mac and my mothers PC, she often have problems with it, and it is low on HD space, so I thought I could use my Mac as a storage kind of thing.
Anyhow, the PC does not show up in sidebar, and I can't connect using Go > Connect to Server > smb://192.168.1.3
I don't know why.
One computer is listed under shared, it is called joellundborfc48, and I have no idea what it is.
The PC connects to my Mac just fine, but not the other way, sadly.
My router is a Mici Broadband Router model KN-S1060.
Any help is appreciated.
Trying to connect via ethernet LAN, no wireless here.

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.

I used my ipad to transfer music to my wife's pc, now I have reconnected to my mac and itunes is not recognsing it - the ipad is not showing in the sidebar

I used my ipad to transfer music to my wife's pc, now I have reconnected to my mac and itunes is not recognsing it - the ipad is not showing in the sidebar and syncing not happening. I have tried resetting ipad and restarting etc but still no joy. Anyone had a similar experience?

Take it to the Apple Store for evaluation.
Try this.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the Sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut Off. To power up hold the Sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time (for about 10-15 seconds) until the Apple logo appears (ignore the red slider), then let go of the buttons.

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.

I connect my iPad to my PC and open iTunes, but the iPad does not show up in sidebar. I want to sync. How do I do it?

I have my PC on, then plug in my iPad (which is on) and open iTunes. The iPad does not show up in the sidebar. How do you get it to show up so that I can select the iPad and then configure the sync settings in each of the settings panes....hoping that these actually show up.
In the manual it says "log in to your computer user account before connecting iPad". I am the only user of this PC...does this mean some other user account. I am confused. I need "baby steps" to tell me how to do all this....very senior and just learning about this wonderful machine. I will very much appreciate your help.

If you are the only user on your computer you probably don't have multiple user accounts set up and can disregard that. If you are using iTunes 11 go to View>Show Sidebar. Now see if your iPad appears under Devices on the left side when you connect it. If it does, click on the name of your iPad on the left side and your iTunes sync settings options will appear in folders with tabbed headings to the right.
If it doesn't appear on the left side, follow the troubleshooting steps shown in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538.

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.

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

Device Connected But Not Showing Up In Network Map

Network Magic Version: 5.5.9195.0
Connection: Cable
Modem: Linksys WRT54GS2
Firmware: 1.0.02 build 007, Jan 21, 2010
Problem Device: Blu-ray, wireless
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1
Anti-virus/Firewall/Spyware: Microsoft Security Essentials/Windows Defender/Spybot
Website Issues: I can visit any site
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.
