Finder sidebar broken after 10.5.6 upgrade

Hallo everyone
After upgrading my MacPro using the full combo update, I have the following problem with the Finder:
If you collapse all disclosure triangles on the sidebar and expnad them again, the display of all icons and labels is completly messed up.
Labels are overlapping and clicking does break the highlighted rows.
Can somebody confirm they have the same issue?
Thanks
Patrick

Patrick,
You may want to refresh the Sidebar plist file by dragging the com.apple.sidebarlists.plist file which is located in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences folder to the Desktop. Then log out/in or restart and confirm your settings in Finder>Preferences...>Sidebar

[SOLVED]Failed to find root device after linux (3.6) upgrade on raid 1

If I upgrade to linux 3.6 with this line:
HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata mdadm filesystems usbinput fsck"
in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, the system is able to boot.
if I upfate to linux 3.6 with this line:
HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata mdadm_udev filesystems usbinput fsck"
in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf the system is not able to boot.
I gathered that the mdadm_udev hook was preferred but it seems to cause problems in this case.
After I successfully upgrade (having "mdadm" in /mkinitcpio.conf) I can change "mdadm" to "mdadm_udev" and
the system will still boot fine.
Does somebody know what gives?

Bookmark Bar RSS Counts Broken after 5.1.4 upgrade

Ever since upgrading to 5.1.4 none of the RSS feeds saved in my bookmarks bar are reporting the new post counts properly.
New posts are not being shown in the bookmarks bar.
After clicking on a feed the count shows up, and then won't be dismissed no matter how many times it is viewed.
If I use "View All RSS Articles" for a folder it clears the bar count, but then all the individual feeds are still badged with a count that can't be dismissed.
Is there a fix for this, or do I have to revert to an older version and hope that the next Safari update will address this?
(and please, no alternate browser recommendations)

Hi,
Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file (preferences)
Quit Safari.
Go to ~/Library/Preferences
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari. If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.
If that didn't work, go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash. Quit then relaunch Safari to test.

Remote Desktop 2.2 broken after 10.4.6 upgrade

I can't remotely control 10.4.6 clients (PPC). All I get is mainly a black screen and sometimes slight "static" where there're text input boxes. I've been able to replicate this twice. I can see a 10.4.5 client perfectly, then after upgrading the client to 10.4.6, I get the problem.
I'm running the admin program on a 10.4.6 Powerbook G4.

Please re-Update using the downloaded Combination updater. (Apple downloads)
If that doesn't help, the only other thing I can recommend is to resinstall OS X using the archive & install option in the installer.

Finder Alias Broken after Changing Router

I have two Macs in a network. The iBook uses the iMac as a server.
On the iBook I have some alias folders that point to the original folders on the iMac server.
I recently changed my router and the IP address of the iMac changed.
Now if I open the alis when the server volume is mounted then all is well. If I open the alias when the server is not mounted then the alias is flagged by the Finder as needing to be fixed. It looks as if the Finder is not finding the new location of the server volume. If I repair the alias then the finder will mount the volume and open the orginal.
I would have expected the Finder to automatically repair the alias since the name of the server is still the same.
Any suggestions?
Richard
iBook, iMac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

The aliases you created are linked to an IP address that no longer exists. It's the same thing that would happen if you made an alias of a folder then placed that folder inside of another one. The link would be broken and Finder wouldn't know where it was.
Your only solution is to fix the links or create new aliases of the folders.

Time Machine broken after 10.6 server upgrade

I recently upgraded our Mac Pro running 10.5 Leopard server to 10.6 Snow Leopard server, I just popped the disk in and ran the installer. The upgrade seemed to go fine, this is just a file server, and everything seems to function just as it had in OS 10.5, except for Time Machine. TM did not pickup where it left off with the internal TM drive for the server (not entirely unexpected). With no luck I've tried:
Erasing and repartitioning the drive (after turning TM off and deleting the preference file)
Removing the drive and erasing and partitioning on another computer, then trying TM through a USB connection (after turning TM off and deleting the preference file)
Below is the common error dialog and part of a log file. If I were to remove the folder/file listed in the log next time it would just be another file. What is consistent is that it doesn't seem to like what's in the Shared Items folder (the sharepoints users attach to).
Can anyone tell me how I might fix this?

I deleted the newly created sparsebundle. I also realized that the computer name had been changed and I changed it back to the original one. Here's the new problem. The TM says that I only have 127 GB and the amount of space needed to back up the disk is 140GB. I don't understand. It almost seems like it is trying to duplicate the entire backup. And this time around, I don't even see any new sparsebundle. I am stuck here.
Something caused TM to decide to start a new "sequence" of backups, as if you'd gotten a new Mac. That means a new, full backup to start with. The only thing that seems to have worked for some folks is a Restart. So if you haven't done one since the latest changes and failed backup attempt, it's worth a try.
If it still wants to do a full backup, you can't prevent it.
Depending on how much space you have on the TM drive/partition, your only choice may be to delete the "old" sparse bundle and let TM start over.
You may be able to delete some of the older backups to make room for the new, full backup, but that's tedious and time-consuming (see item #12 of the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip.)*
But that still leaves two problems: you'll have to manually "compact" the sparse bundle via Terminal to shrink it; and you'll have to continue to delete old backups this way (and manually compact them) to make room for new ones. Since TM is treating them as if they were from a different Mac, it won't delete them automatically, but will delete the oldest backups from the new set instead.

Edits in Finder sidebar disappears after reboot

Hi,
When I change the content of Finders sidebar the changes I make disappears after a reboot. Doesn't that indicate something wrong??

Personally I have not enabled the root account and have no intention of ever doing so. I think the problem is really that the .DS_Store file is not being rewritten, perhaps because of the permissions. I would simply remove the .DS_Store file from the affected folders and then arrange those folders as you want them to be and close the folders. This will create a new .DS_Store file with new settings for the folders. As the .DS_Store files are invisible you will either have to use one of the many utilities that allow you to show invisible files or use the Terminal remove command. If the problem is the permissions you may have to authenticate to remove the files, or use a sudo remove command.

After upgrading to ML, finder sidebar icons disappeared

How can I get Finder sidebar icons to appear after upgrading to Mountain Lion on both late 2009 Mini nad 13" MBA (mid 2011)?

Select Preferences from the Finder's Finder menu. Click on the Sidebar icon in the toolbar. Check the boxes for what you want displayed.
If you aren't seeing a sidebar then select Show Sidebar from the Finder's View menu.

[SOLVED] nfsroot install broken after kernel upgrade 3.5.6 to 3.6.2

It seems my nfsroot installations have broken after the kernel upgrade to 3.6.2.
This is as far as the boot process gets now (hand copied from the screen):
IP-Config: eth0 complete (from 10.48.50.20):

Bailing out, you are on your own. Good luck.

On the server this is what is logged:

It looks to me like the client is sending the mount request, the server accepts and then for some reason the client thinks it has failed. I can't even see anything strange in the wireshark traces comparing the working client (3.5.6) to the broken one (3.6.2).
Anyone else using nfsroot successfully with the latest kernel?
Any other ideas?
(by the way - despite my directory names, this is using nfs v3 for the rootfs)

, but the /new_root bit is new and I have no idea where it comes from.

So I wonder if it asking for the wrong path.
That unmount issue will be solved by FS#32021.
Unfortunately, that doesn't help with mounting in the first place with 3.6.2

After having had to upgrade to windows 7 i cant find the product key for my photoshop elements 8

i kept the download for my photoshop elements 8 but after the windows 7 upgrade i cant find the product key for the PSE8

This isn't the PSE forum Edward, but you might be aware of that.
PSE8 is going to be fairly old I'm thinking? Like I said... this is not the PSE forum so people don't tend to know much about it. The reason I make that point, is that if you have previously registered your copy of PSE8, you will be able to log on to your Adobe ID, go to My orders, and find both a link to download the installation file, and your serial number.
Other than that, I am not sure how you will find it.

How do I remove a broken alias in my Finder Sidebar without Apple Developer Tools loaded?

OS 10.7.5
I have a broken/dead alias in my Finder Sidebar. It will not activate when the cursor is on it therefore I can't move or remove it from the Finder Sidebar. I found a previous solution that requires loading the Apple Developer Tools in order to acces and edit the list of alias. Is there any other method that can be used to remove a broken/dead alias available?
Thanks.
Charlie

Never mind!! Even though the alias would not highlight to show that it was active, I simply Command > drag and it disappeared.

After update 5.4.1, I can no longer access TC from Finder sidebar

Time Machine can backup just fine (and it seems improved), but now when I click on the icon of my Time Capsule in the Finder sidebar, I see "connecting...", but eventually the connection times out.
Has anyone gotten this to work, or do I have to downgrade the firmware? Nice job, Apple!

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.

ADWS Broken after in-place upgrade from Server 2008 R2 to Server 2012 R2

I compared the registry with a working system but the Counters - and all other keys - looked fine.
At the same time as upgrading a DC a colleague was updating an unrelated server, and he started to see similar events in the event log (but for the Dell OpenManage Essentials service, not ADWS). The error was complaining about KERNELBASE.dll which set my
spider sense tingling. We knew that this server had Windows Updates pending. Fully updating it solved the problem on that server.
I solved the ADWS problem in the end by fully Windows Updating the DC. In particular, the ADWS Service started successfully after installing KB2919355 and rebooting. That also
'unlocked' a further 59 updates pending.
After the in-place upgrade I always fully Windows Update but I'm 99% certain that KB2919355 did NOT show up when I did a Check for Updates straight after a reboot so I thought the DC was up-to-date. I then spent hours investigating the ADWS problem and rebooted
as part of the diagnostics. It was then that I noticed on the logon screen that there were updates pending...
Moral of the story? Windows Update, then Update again, and again, and again. The length of time it takes to Windows Update after an upgrade from 2008R2 to 2012R2 is painful though.
