How do I create shortcuts in the finder sidebar for network folders?

I used to be able to cmd-T or drag/drop a network folder to the sidebar in Finder and have a permanent alias/shortcut. After the Lion upgrade I can not figure out how to do that. I was able to drag a shortcut to the desktop but when I clicked on it, I got an error that it was not available when in fact it was still connected.

Hi all ...
Have finally broken down and switched to Lion....
one of the most convenient things for me as a photoshopper about Snow Leopard was to be able to have sort cuts in the finder side bar under "Places" so i could just drag the image i wanted to open to the left onto the App icon and it would open it from there.  NOW I have drag it to the dock to open or open the
dropdown menu... both slower.  I am not happy about this.... Is there a way to get this function back... I have looked and looked and can't find it!
Thanks guys...

  • How can I remove icons from the Finder sidebar?  Were transferred when I set up laptop from my desktop computer.  Tried dragging off but that didn't work.

    How can I remove icons from the Finder sidebar?  Transferred info from my Mac Pro desktop computer (using target mode) and there were folder icons on the Mac Pro Finder sidebar that are now on the MacBook Finder sidebar, even though these folders do not exist on the MacBook.  Tried to drag them off, which is the usual way to get rid of folders that the user adds to the sidebar (as opposed to those that can be added via the Customize Toolbar dropdown menu) but was unsuccessful.  I then unchecked all of the Customize Toolbar menu items and the folder icons still remained.  What else can I do?

    Did you hold the Command (Apple) key while dragging them off the sidebar? That usually makes them go *poof*.

    How can I create cursors within the cursor?
    Table1 2001 - 2007 data
    Account_no
    Account_eff_dt
    No_account_holder
    Num
    Seq_Num
    Value1
    Value2
    Table2_Historical (doesn't have Num as a field) 1990 - 2000 data

    Value1
    Value2
    Table3_06
    Account_no
    Account_eff_dt
    No_account_holder
    Num
    My result table should be:
    Table_result_06
    Account_no
    Account_eff_dt
    No_account_holder
    Num
    Value1_min (the minimum value for the minimum of record_sequence)
    Value2_max (the maximum value for the maximum of record_sequence)
    I have to get data from Table1 and Table2_Historical. If one account was open in 1998 and is still effective, the minimum value of that account is in the Table2_Historical.
    Let's say I open a cursor:
    cursor_first is
    select * from table3_06;
    open csr_first
    loop
    fetch cursor_first into
    v_Account_no
    v_Account_eff_dt
    v_No_account_holder
    v_Num
    EXIT WHEN csr_first%NOTFOUND;
    How can I open a second cursor from here that will get the Seq_Num from Table1
    csr_second
    select Seq_Num from Table1 where
    v_Account_no = Account_no
    v_Account_eff_dt <= Account_eff_dt
    v_No_account_holder=No_account_holder
    v_Num = Num
    How does it works???
    Thanks a lot

    Thanks so much for replying back. Here is what I am trying to do.
    I have to create a table for each year 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 that has all the account numbers that are active each year plus some other characteristics.
    Let’s say I will create Table_result_06. This table will have the following fields. The account number, account effective date, Number of the account holder and the field Num (The primary key is a combination of all 4 fields), the beginning look of value 1 in 2006, the last look of value 1 in 2006.
    Table_result_06
    Account_no key
    Account_eff_dt key
    No_account_holder key
    Num key
    Value1_min (the minimum value for the minimum of record_sequence)
    Value2_max (the maximum value for the maximum of record_sequence)
    All the active account numbers with the Account_eff_dt, No_account_holder and Num are in the Table3. As such I can build a query that connects Table3 with table Table1 on all 4 fileds, Account_no, Account_eff_dt, No_account_holder, Num and find the Value1_min for the min of req_sequence in 2006 and Value1_max for the max of req_sequence in 2006. Here my problem starts.
    Table 1 doesn’t have a new entry if nothing has changed in the account. So if this account was open in 1993 and nothing has changed I don’t have an entry in 2006 but this doesn’t mean that this account doesn’t exist in 2006. So to find the minimum value I have to go back in 1993 and find the max and min for that year and that will be max and min in 2006 as well.
    As such I have to go to Table_2 historical and search for min and max. But this table doesn’t have the field NUM and if I match only on the Account_no, Account_eff_dt and No_account_holder I don’t get a unique record.
    So how can I connect all three tables, Table 1 for max and min, if it doesn’t find anything will go to table 2 find the two values and populate Table_result_06.
    Thanks so much again for your hep,

  • HT201472 If my ipod was stolen, how can I figure out if the find my ipod app is activated

    If my ipod was stolen, how can I figure outg if the find my ipod app is activated.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

    The only way you will be able to track that iPod is if it is turned on and connected to a wifi network by the person that has it.

    How do I create a column the same size?
    I'm concatenating up to 6 cols into one col. If one of the column has a space it will shrink it (I used varchar2 and char) .
    e.g: col1= '123456', col2= ' ', col3= ' ',col4= ' 123', col5=' 51',....etc
    I want to see them as :colx= '123456', ' ', ' ',' 123',' 51'
    Thanks for your help.

    You are alomost right,:-)
    since OP said :If one of the column has a space it will shrink it (I used varchar2 and char) .
    So you should use replace function not trim function.
    test >  select  replace(' a b c ',' ') from dual

    Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
    Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows.<br />
    You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.
    Another possibility is to use:

  • Hi How do we create Methods inside the Business objects of Z

    Hi Abapers,
                        How do we create Methods inside the Business objects (z objects) and how *** an import parameter or export parameter  to be defined for the new Methods.
    Regards
    Bhaskar Rao.M

    Hi Bhaskar,
    that ´s not difficult.
    Open your Bus.Obj. in SWO1 with CHANGE/EDIT
    Click on the "Methods" header line and then use the button for "Create".
    If you want to add the method on basis of a function module, choose next in the next pop up. Then the system will offer you the ex/import parameter from the function module. So this is a really simple way.
    If you don´t have a FM, it is a little bit more difficult.
    Choose No on the quetion about a FM, fill in the next pop up  methode name (no blanks allowed).
    Dialogue is for user related method (call screen...) synchronous for methods which have to give back a result directly in to the workflow.
    After completing the screen the method will be displayed as new method at the end of method list. Now add parameters (first click on the method name, then choose parameter button, same functionality to add program to the method).
    Programm:
    Code snip:
    BEGIN_METHOD ZWFCHECKMIRO CHANGING CONTAINER.
    DATA:
          ZBELNR TYPE RBKP-BELNR,
          ZGJAHR TYPE RBKP-GJAHR,
          RESULT TYPE HRP1001-ISTAT,
          BELNR TYPE BKPF-BELNR,
          GJAHR TYPE BKPF-GJAHR,
          BUKRS TYPE BKPF-BUKRS.
    to import parameter
      SWC_GET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'Zbelnr' ZBELNR.
      SWC_GET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'Zgjahr' ZGJAHR.
    *(or SWC_GET_TABLE)
    here add the functionality of your method!
    to export parameter
    SWC_SET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'Result' RESULT.
      SWC_SET_ELEMENT CONTAINER 'Belnr' BELNR.
    *(or SWC_SET_TABLE)
    !!! Important: naming convention!!! Use same writing of parameter names in
    PARAM area (button PARAMETER) and here in code.
    To use your method, change it to implemented after adding your code.
    -> Edit -> Change release status -> object type component -> into implemented
    (Sorry , have a german screen here, possibly terms are a little bit different.
    Hope this helps a little bit.!
    regards

  • How do I change the Finder Sidebar size?

    It an earlier preview build of Lion, I was able to change the Finder sidebar text size to make it smaller.  The default was too large, taking up too much real estate.  Unfortunately, I don't remember what I did to fix it.  Finder Preferences and View Options don't seem to offer any option to change the sidebar's font.
    Does anyone know?

    Go to System Preferences/General and check the Sidebar Icon Size box.  Make your selection.  This controls the Mailbox sidebar and the Finder sidebar.
    Previous F.A.N reply answered this for me.  I'm just adding the solution to this thread.  I couldn't easily find the way to close out this query.
