In Snow Leopard at least, you can do this by in the Finder going to the Finder menu, selecting Preferences, then clicking on the Sidebar icon at the top, and then ticking (re-enabling) the option to show the Search for Today entry.

  • How do I add a new category for my podcast?

    I'm in "Business" now and want to add "Society and Culture". Is it possible to appear in 2 categories and if so, how do I do it? Thanks!

    If your are using a podcast creation program or service it should provide a way of adding a category. In the unlikely event that you are hand-writing your feed this Apple Tech Note explains howto format the tags:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#category
    Note that only the first category will appear in the iTunes Store. However, even if you add a second category searching just on the category in the iTunes Store is most unlikely to throw up your podcast. There are thousands of podcasts out there, and it would be quite impossible to display on one page the entire list for any category. What you see are 'featured' podcasts, chosen by Apple as being special; please see this Tech Note:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#getfeatured
    Note that there is no way you can influence the selection other than making your podcast really special.

  • TS2972 i do not see my apple TV on my home sharing.  How do I add it and where do i find the IP address?

    My apple TV was working great.  Did everything in manual.
    in settings, do not see my appletv.
    How do I add to system.  How do I find IP address
    restarted per manual, had appletv box checked at apple store, worked fine.  Bought new apple HDMI cable
    Getting light to blink but no service when i use remote.  worked last night

    The option to look for Apple TV's in the preferences went a while ago.
    Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

    Just turn it on in Settings>iCloud on all you devices.  They will automatically be added, and can be tracked by going to icloud.com and signing in with the iClloud ID that the device(s) you are trying to track is using.

  • How do I add iCloud drive to Favorites in Finder window?

    Due to an accident with a mouse with a dying battery, I managed to remove iCloud drive item from the Favorites in the Finder window. If you do it with one, they're all missing it. So how do I restore it? I can't find any way to do it. Help articles are utterly useless as they say nothing on the matter. I don't even know what iCloud drive is and yet I have apparently permanently removed it from the favorites list.

    I feel like a *******, since it seems obvious now. I guess when you're so close to the matter you don't see it.
    Thanks for the advice.

  • How to view and or delete smart folder in finder sidebar

    Sounds easy, but I am having a problem. I recently had my hard drive replaced at the genius bar. I have a smart File on the finder side bar that I can not open or delete. When I click on the file I get the message "the volume for (name of file) cannot be found. I tried using both "spotlight" & "the finder go to" locate this smart folder to no avail. I cannot remember when I created this file but I had labeled it appleworks 6 manual.. I don't ever remember using this smart file, I may have just created it without ever putting anything in it. So how do I open it or just plain delete it. I can remove it from the side board but it just comes back. I also went to /volumes which took me to the hard drive, but when I looked at all the files I couldn't find a smart file with this label. Any suggestion? Thanks Paula

    I made another smart folder. I wanted to see if I could get the options with the control key. My test folder worked fine and I was able to get the options. I could delete the test folder without any problems. If it is that I have an Appleworks manual stored in an image file, then how could I find the image file? And if I did find it, what would I do to it, so I could delete this smart folder that I set up? I did a spotlight search for image file, but I couldn't find anything. I also searched appleworks manual and I did find a "getting started with appleworks 6 document" with an path of '/application/appleworks (U.S. English) Applework 6 documentation ... when I click on it it opens in preview.. but that manual is stored in my appleworks in applications, so I don't think it is related to the smart folder in the finder sidebar. If I did manage to close or delete the image file that was related to this folder, does that mean I'm just stick with this smart folder that I can't delete on my finder sidebar?

  • HT201493 How do I add pictures of my friends on find friends app??

    In apple store, find friends app shows pictures of your friends added to contact.  I have tried and tried and can't seem to
    do it.  Any answers??

    Use the contacts app. Select a contact for one of your friends and then tap on edit. Tap on the photo and select a photo from your photo albums to add to the contact. you can edit the photo by pinching and zooming. Tap Done when you are finished.
    You do need to have a photo of each contact in your photos app. Once you set a photo to a contact the photo can be deleted from the Photos app.

  • How do I recover a device deleted from the Finder sidebar?

    I connected a Garmin Edge 800 GPS unit to my MacBook Pro to backup its files. I made a file on the computer named "Garmin" to copy the files into. In the sidebar, in Finder, two devices showed, one named "Garmin" and the other "No Name" which is the mini SD card for the Garmin unit. I thought I'd try dragging "Garmin" into the folder but when I dragged and dropped it went up in the cloud of smoke icon. The actual Garmin unit works fine but when it's plugged in the only thing showing in the sidebar is "No Name". If I eject "No Name" and disconnect I get the message that "Garmin" wasn't ejected properly, so I know it's being detected, I just don't see it in the sidebar any more. It wouldn't matter to me except I need to open the Garmin unit so I can copy the files.
    I looked in "Trash" but nothing named "Garmin" exists there. I also tried restarting the computer and the Garmin before reconnecting but the only device showing in the sidebar is the "No Name" mini card. So, how do I get the unit to show up in the sidebar again?
    Thanks in advance,
    Doug

    I got the answer from Reddit - Finder > Preferences > Sidebar > Devices > External disks.

  • 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.

  • How do i add a rescue email address to an already existing apple id? The only option it gives me, under the manage my apple id category, is an alternate email. I am trying to make my alternate email address my rescue email address.

    How do i add a rescue email address to an already existing apple id? The only option it gives me, under the manage my apple id category, is an alternate email. I am trying to make my alternate email address my rescue email address. I am new to this community thing.

    Note that the rescue email address is not on the "Name, ID and Email Address" page -- you need to click on "Password and Security" on the left side. Even after you do that, it may or may not be available. As noted in the following it is only available if you have 3 security questions and are not using 2-step verification: Manage your Apple ID primary, rescue, alternate, and notification email addresses

  • How do I add the stock app to Today's Summary in Notifications?

    How do I add the stock app to "Today's Summary"
    in Notifications?

    You can't, because there is no Apple Stocks App for iPad.
    You can download a third party Stocks App and set it up to give you notifications, but that's as much as you can do.
