Favorites bar in finder in two languages

Hi there,
I recentley purchased a macbook Pro 13" from 2011. Then installed Yosemite after using Maverics for 12 Months on another MB.
The computer was originally set up in german but I then changed the language to english (and all other settings).
The problem is (only minor) but bizarre:
When I open the Finder my Favourite bar appears in two languages. Also the tags appear in two languages.
I tried setting the language back to german (it stayed german for two days), then back to enlish again(it remained englisch for two days).thensuddenly- Same issue. The language was in english and german again...
I have posted a screenshot so yo understand what i‘m talking about...as you might think I'm nuts otherwise...
Have you come across this issue before ? Bug ? Fix ?
looking forward to your input ;-)
Cheers Gareth
PS I forgot to add: My girlfriend has another user account which is set to german (no issue there). The problem existed before her account was added though.

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Language & Region
Deselect each unwanted language from the list and click OK. Then select your region from the Region menu.
Close the preference pane. You may have to log out and log back in for the change to take effect.
If there's no change, reset the PRAM.

Why can't I click and open my Skydrive from the favorites bar in finder?

I am able to do this for Google Drive and also Copy, so I should be able to do the same for Skydrive.
So how come I cannot click on Skydrive in the favorites bar in finder? I can click on everything else but when I try to click skydrive it is as if I clicked on the window outside of finder where it would be inactive. I want to be able to open my skydrive from finder (in favorites) so how can I fix this?
Please and thanks for any answers at all in advance

If I understand correctly you want the title to appear on top of a later video clip so both title and clip are visible. The problem is the "whites" background which is both making the background opaque and stopping you from pasting it above another clip. If you just select and drag the title by itself, the background will be transparent so the video clip below will show through. You should also be able to copy and paste it directly above the clip you want.
If you want different parts of the title to have a special effect you will have to edit each instance after you have made and positioned the copies.
I hope this helps - or have I misunderstood?
Geoff.

Missing Favorites Bar for finder

After getting an error from itunes(error 54). I had to repair disk permissions. Now the section that has airdrop, applications, desktop, music, pictures...etc is gone. I cant add it from finder preferences either. All I can add is stuff from devices, and shared, but not favorites. I tried to delete the finder plist, but i cant find it

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Relaunch the application and test. If there's no change, quit again and put the item you moved back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, delete the item you moved.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Finder menu in two languages

Hi, since updating to OSX10.10, my Finder menu has been displaying two languages - not really a problem, more a query as to why, and how to resolve it.
Im running a mid 2010 27' iMac with the SSD and 1TB option and all latest software (OS X 10.10.1).
My system language is set to English, with these priorities - 3 languages - 1st English, 2nd Spanish, 3rd Brazilian Portuguese, and an ISO Spanish keyboard (I live in Spain)
I have reset language preferences a few times, and all else seems to be OK and as it should, except the finder menu (picture below).
Anyone have any ideas as to how to get it back into English?
Thanks!

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It makes no changes to your data.
Please triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
defaults read -g AppleLocale | pbcopy
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear below what you entered.
The output of the command will be automatically copied to the Clipboard. If the command produced no output, the Clipboard will be empty. Paste into a reply to this message.
The Terminal window doesn't show the output. Please don't copy anything from there.

Folder placed in Favorites bar in my Finder is non-responsive

I placed a folder in the Favorites bar in my Finder that I am trying to remove from the Finder Favorites while NOT deleting the folder. I tried the CMD and drag approach. It does not work because the folder does nothing in response to clicking on it. I will appreciate any advice you can provide.

You're welcome

How do I get rid of the favorites bar listing on the left of my screen

How do I get rid of the favorites bar listing on the left of my screen when I can find it at the top of the screen? I takes up too much of my useable acreen

Hi Dale,
I don't use Safari much, but try this as I recall...

How to disable Top sites icon in Favorites bar?

I have upgraded to Mavericks and there are two issues that make me regret the move. The first is small sounding but it makes me so angry I can't see straigh. In a Google sort of way, the new version of Safari foists upon me that miserable button - the top sites icon - as if to say "haa haa ... we know what is good for you". I want it gone! It used to be an option you could uncheck in the preferences ... but unless I'm missing something (I sure hope so!) Apple decided we should not have the option. Please tell me there is some way to get rid of the icon ... and better yet to disable somehow the whole top sites thing. I despise it, and I despise that someone tells me what I must have and how to work.
The second thing is the bookmark sidebar. I've always like how it works in safari. Now for some reason, as oposed to before, when you have the side bar slide into place so that you can select the bookmark - it stays there! Why? I want it to disapear after I click on a bookmark as it always has. I don't want to click again each time to make it go away. Is there a way to bring back the old behavior? This was in the beta of mavericks and I was not going to upgrade over the "feature". In the demo however I caught that a presenter clicked ... and the bar slid away, the way I would like it to. Now that I have mavericks ... it does not work as in the demo on stage.
So ... anyone ... is there a way for me to fix these two irritations?
I'm going to wait a month or so to see how Mavericks direction develops. I've always disliked Chrome because I don't trust they security and their proclivity towards tracking. I haven't cared for Firefox much neither ... mostly due to the way they render fonts. I will not use Safari if I can't change both of these features ... so I guess (because I suspect it is a case where apple knows what is good for me) that I won't be able to set up safari to not annoy me ... so my last questions is a recomendation for a replacement browser. What are your favorite browsers aside from Safari?
Thanks.

Well after a few more days with Mavericks I have to say I'm fairly impressed with it. Both laptops seem to have better battery life, and ... is it my imagination ... but they seem faster too? Not bad.
On the Safari problem I have, so far, made no headway, so I would be grateful for anyone who can come up with an answer. Perhaps the drawer sliding out and then back after you click your bookmark has a command line solution? I wonder how to investigate that?
As slick as Safari is (It has long been my favorite browser) I've been looking for a replacement. I won't consider Crome because of the afforementioned Google practice of monetizing "us' and our data. I don't trust em!
I dowloaded Opera ... and found that they have the same ideas in spades, about Top sites, that Apple seems to be adopting. What a shame ... and a no-go.
Then I started a trial with iCab. Now that is one nice browser! First impression are very possitive but there is the same top sites icon sitting there, with no obvious way to zap it. WHAT is going on ... does everyone havet to jump on the same (often hated) feature? I sent an email to the developer, expecting little but hoping just a bit anyways. Guess what? About forty five minutes later I received a reply. Wow, now that is nice!
My first impressions of iCab are very positive. I, however have the
same problem. There is a top sites right in the favorites bar. Can
this be disabled? I have not yet found a way to do this.
You can turn off this icon in iCab. Please enter "settings:" (without the
quote characters, but including the colon) in the URL field and hit the
"return" key. This will open some additional settings where you can configure
some more stuff. In the section "favorites toolbar" there's a setting to
show or hide the TopTen icon in the favorites toolbar. Just switch this
option off and click on the "Save Settings" button.
Alexander Clauss
..... So problem avoided. I'm going to spend the twenty dollars to register iCab even though one does not really need to. With responsiveness like this ... well, I want to keep it.
So that is my progress up until now. Not much on the original quest ... if you count nothing+hope as merely "not much". Still hoping. But having choices such as iCab and probably others ... sure did make me less grumpy.
I know I should perhaps just chill out. Life would sure be a bit easier if I had it in me to not care about these little details, I know. Having it perfect, perfectly elegant and perfectly customizable - that's tough.
On the other hand. This is Apple. Isn't it?
Cheers!

Gnome3: change icon size of favorite bar

hi,
i want to resize the icon size of the favorite bar in the gnome-shell but cant find the right position in one of the css files... I'm currently using a workaround where i changed the following in /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/dash.js:
dash.js: //let iconSizes = [ 16, 22, 24, 32, 48, 64 ];
dash.js: let iconSizes = [ 16, 22, 24, 32, 48 ];
im pretty sure that there is a cleaner solution.
regards hennesiv

Thank you, the-edmeister, as that too is what I needed. The default icon size of F.F. 14.0, are just plain to small. This really helped. :-)

Contract in two languages and two columns parallel on each page?

I'm writing a long contract in two languages and want two columns parallel on each page. The column should break every time to the next page and not to the top of the same page. anybody with some helpful advises please?

Jerry, thx.
I tried. It seems I am dummy with pages.
First of all my pages speaks German and even I m sure my English is pretty stable the idioms seem to be different in the menus & bars.
So let my try to ask and hope I m not stressing your patience.
"Make sure both text boxes are Floating ...." what means Floating? How does that look like, what do I do?
You mean click on them so both boxes are empty yet visible?
And there is no "CAPTURE PAGES" in my advanced menu, pls have a look. Can you indicate where it sits in English?
And whatever I tried in that advanced menu bar, nothing asked me to "assign a name" to something.
Can we sort that and go from there?
thx

"Links" on one machine "Favorites Bar" on another

I have two Win8.1 x64 IE11 machines. (Not the same kind of machine, but the presently installed system software environments are very similar.) They are syncing my IE favorites via Microsoft Account. One calls the users\me\favorites folder where it stores
Favorites Bar shortcuts "Favorites Bar". The other machine calls the exact same functional thing "Links". I've even tried deleting both folders with IE not running on either machine. Restart IE on one or the other, enable Favorite Bar toolbar
and the disparately named folders come right back on both machines.
Any idea why this would be and how I get them to agree what to call it? I'm suspecting some reg key somewhere.
(I first notice this because I made the grave mistake of trying iCloud Sync. This *really* sent iCloud Sync into a ditch. What a hash that made of virtually everything it touched in IE, Outlook, Chrome, the stuff on my Mac, you name it. Turned that
off and cleaned up the mess and am now leaving it off. The folks at Apple who wrote that obviously only ever had one PC and only ever ran one browser on it and didn't teach the Mac about their Google accounts or run Chrome.)
<rant>It's stuff like this, and the frequent runaway scripts/crashed windows/"problem with web page"/problems rendering and interacting with way too many sites that have me just about to change my default browser to Chrome.
It just works. IE used to. Not any more. It's become a satire of itself almost as though it finally had to live all the way down to the formerly unwarranted bad rap a lot of people have been giving it. And I've been loyal to IE since v. 1. Little wonder
they are scrapping it and looking for new branding besides. Scary that this is easier than just fixing the code. What a furball that code must be at this point.</rant>

When both the special folders are deleted on two machines syncing, one gets recreated called "C:\Users\myuser\Favorites\Links" and the other one on the other machine gets recreated called "C:\Users\myuser\Favorites\Favorites Bar" Both
have the object name "C:\Users\myuser\Favorites\Links". Despite one of them showing up as ...\Favorites Bar. Why wouldn't they get created with the same file system name?
In the test I *just* did, I renamed the "Links" version to "Favorites Bar". It promptly created a "Links" folder again. On the other machine, it now also has both an empty "...\Links" folder and a "...\Favorites
Bar" folder with the synced shortcuts. But the IE on both now shows an empty Favorites Bar toolbar. Sigh.
So what I tried, and what seemed to work, is turning Sync off for the One Drive|Other Settings|Web Browser on both machines, then deleting all the Favorites Bar and Links folders on both with no IE instances running. Start IE on both machines. Each creates
a "...\Favorites Bar" folder, not hidden, not System, but Object Name "...\Links". Turn back on syncing and all appears to work and now they agree on the file system name.
Conclusions/data points:
1) If IE creates the Links special folder it names it "...\Favorites Bar" even though it's a Links special folder, if Sync creates the Links special folder it names it "...\Links".
2) IE can use either file system name for the same purpose, presumably because under the covers they are both the Links special objects.
3) Don't count on this folder being set System or hidden. Maybe it's supposed to be, but that's not how IE created them just now.
4) While syncing, setting one to hidden and all its object to hidden not only results in an empty Favorites Bar, it results in the other machine having an empty Links special folder file system named ..\Links. I haven't tried setting one to System. Too much
fun for one night.

Two language recognition on Voice Control?

Hi,
I'm Portuguese and therefore have a lot of Portuguese music on my iPhone, but also a lot of English (American, UK, etc) music.
I find it very hard to try to say:
"Reproduzir Of A Revolution" in Portuguese
as well as
"Play Carlos Paião" in English
The pronunciation just doesn't match.
Is it possible to configure Voice Control to recognize in two languages at the same time?
Best Regards

When Safari is open, there is a symbol to the left of the search block. Click on that...the drop down menu has many options...including bookmark.

When I open Internet Explorer 10 I can't get the favorites bar to show favorites.

When I open Internet Explorer 10 I can't get the favorites bar to show my favorites. I've gone to "view" > toolbars and clicked on favorites bar but it won't show my favorites in the favorite bar. This problem only started
a couple of days ago. Before then the favorites bar always showed with my favorite.

Hi,
Do you mean the favorites items don't show up in favorites bar or even the favorites bar
doesn't shown up in IE?
I suggest you check whether the favorites link existing in the favorites bar folder, you can click the
in the up right corner, then expand folder "Favirites Bar", or manually check folder C:\Uses\username\Favorites\Favorites Bar
Or create new favorite item, then check if it works.
You can also try to launch IE in no add-on mode, then check the issue again, if problem disappears in this mode, then we can narrow down to find the culprit, launch IE by running
%ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe -extoff
