Conversation List (on left side) freezes

I am having the worst problem with Messages:
Basically, the list of conversations on the left freezes and just update at all, making the thing unusable.
Here are some screens.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you have trouble with the "+" cursor try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and then open iPhoto. That should set iPhoto to it's default settings and the left hand pane should be open.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Google Docs page freezes in FF 4.0 and 3.16 versions and it doesn't show the collection or folder names on the left side of the page .

Google Docs page freezes and it shows the files in the main page. However, it doesn't show the collection or folder on the left side of the page. It shows "Loading" on top of the page and it stays with "Loading" display forever. Chrome doesn;t have any such problem. I would like to use FF for google docs if it works. This happened only after I changed to FF 4.0. Now, I went back to 3.16 and it shows the same behavior as 4.0 version. Any help will be appreciated.

I'm replying to my own question in hopes that it'll push my post to the top of any lists to garner some sort of response.
Any help is most appreciated. Thank you.

List all tabs to left side of window

i want to list all tabs to left side in a window like ctrl+b makes all bookmarks to left side to window . tried 'tile tabs ' add on it is useless .any one suggest me the shortcut or add on.

The link to the actual plug-in seems to be broken. Any one else see this? The "Add To Firefox" button actually points to the "Hide My Ass IP Checker" Add-on instead of the Tree Style Tab add-on.
Any idea who to contact to fix this?

Where is the photo tab on itunes? My device is not listed on the left side of my screen and there is no photos tab on the right of my screen. I want to delete photo albums that were synced through itunes to my ipad 3.

I synced several photo albums to my iPad 3 from my computer through iTunes. Now, I would like to remove them and have discovered that they cannot be removed except through using iTunes. Instructions that I've read say that once the device is connected to and selected from the list in iTunes, select the Photo Tab and then the folder that contains the photos etc. I never get that far because I do not have a Photo Tab to select in iTunes. How do I find this illusive tab so that I can delete these albums that are merely duplications of other pictures and are just occupying space. I need to get rid of them. Can anyone help me find the photo tab. I cannot move past that step until I do. Also, my device is not listed on the left side as stated in the instructions. It's in the bar on the upper right area of my screen and is automatically selected when connected. I am using the current version 11.1 for iTunes and IOS 7 on my iPad 3, if that helps.

I have the same problem on the latest iTunes software and Windows 7. My window is maximzed and I do not see any tab for photos. Seems related to a recent update (IOS7?) as this was there - at least before the very big change to the interface.

A bookmarks list has appeared on the left side of my screen and I can't get rid of it. Tried restore and even uninstalled & reinstalled Firefox 4.

I don't know what I can add. The bookmarks list is on the left side of the screen and crowds everything else to the right so that I can't read it. I've tried everything I can think of to move it or get rid of it.

Please click the '''Solved It''' button next to the answer that solved your Firefox support issue, '''''it appears when you are logged in''''', so this thread gets marked as '''Solved''' to help other users who may have this same problem.

On FaceTime contact are on the left side of the screen...they use to be on the right side much better how do I change this listing to the right side?

FFace time contact listing are on the left side of the screen they use to be on the right side...why the change and how can I change the listings to the right side?

There doesn't seem to be a setting for that. As to why Apple made the change, only they would know.

My macbook keeps freezing with the left side of the screen on the right and the right side of the screen on the left. Help

My 17-inch early 2011 macbook pro keeps freezing on me. The freeze usually occurs when I'm importing or exporting pictures, when I stream anything, or If I am watching a dvd. The left side of the screen shifts to the right and the right side of the screen shifts to the left. lines also appear on my screen and I can not force quit any open application. I have not dropped my laptop at all.
Mac OSX Lion version 10.7.5
2.2 Ghz Intel Core i7
I would like to avoid going to the an apple store to fix this problem if possible. The closest one to me is 40 miles away.
Help : )

If you don't have the Applecare extended warranty then you will need to pay for the fix. The fix is a New Logic Board. It seems as your Graphics card is failing in some way. No there is no software fix for this.
The Graphic chip is soldered to the logic board and the only way to change/fix it is to replace the complete logic board.
Good Luck and Best Wishes

When forwarding an e-mail I have lost the address book contact list on the left side.

I used to have the address book contact list on the left side of the page being forwarded to allow easy selection of addressees. It's gone and I need it back.
Thank you very much

Open a Write window and press F9 to toggle the Contact Sidebar on and off.
You can also turn it on from the View menu in the Write window.

How do you get the bookmarks list permanently displayed on the left side of the screen?

I somehow managed to get the bookmarks permanently open and displayed in a vertical column on the left side of the screen. I accidentally closed it and cannot get it to display again. How do you manage to get the bookmark list permanently open and displayed again? Thank you.

Hello exoticdoc2, see if the next [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/all-in-one-sidebar/ All-in-One Sidebar add-on] it is useful for you, it is more than a sidebar bookmarks toolbar.
thank you

Iphoto causes half my screen to be reversed (screen split with the right side half now on the left side) and computer freezes. Any suggestions about a fix?

iphoto causes half my screen to be reversed (screen split with the right side half now on the left side and the left hand side on the right.) and screen gets multiple blurry copies. Also the computer freezes. Any suggestions about a fix? Can I delete iphoto and reinstall? If so, will I lose my photos?

There is no "DEVICES" listed on the left side of itunes.

itunes recognizes my ipod and my iphone.. However there is no "Devices" listed on the left side of itunes. My ipod, when I plug it into my puter and open itunes does show up on the row that has songs, allbums, etc on the very right hand side, just to the left of itunes store. when I click on it, "my ipod", it opens up the "on this ipod' screen. And "my ipod" then shows on the very left, same row. When I click on the little arrow just to the right of "my ipod" it shows a drop down menu thta has Music, Movies, tv shows, etc. However there is NO 'Devices" on that drop down menu.
"When in Manual mode, to add songs or playlist, drag them from itunes to the DEVICE icon in the sidebar" I cannot do this because there is no DEVICE icon in the sidebar.
What can I do to solve this please?
What I am wanting to do is to xfer songs that I have on my puter to my ipod. I have xfered them to itunes library. However if I try "syncing" them, I get the 'your ipod is synced to another library' message.
Please do not ask me to reinstall itunes. I went through the whole process of COMPLETELY removing any trace of itunes, quicktime, and all the other things listed in the How to remove itunes completely from your puter. I have checked that Apple mobile device USB Driver is up and installed and running. I have checked to make sure Apple Mobile Device support is instaled and OK.
What else can I do?

clarkkent26,
By default ringtones won't show up in the left hand column until you have downloaded some.
If they aren't showing after that, or you want it to show even though it is empty, in iTunes preferences you can specify what sections to show.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.
