How do I get back my sidebar???

About a month ago, after some buggy behavior on my iMac, including shut down/start up issues, my finder's sidebar disappeared. I get the Finder window, but NO sidebar (and no drives). The only way for me to summon it is to hit "Command FIND."
I'm thinking I might might have a corrupted preference file?
I was able to resolve all the other problems, which were considerably more annoying. But I want my sidebar back–normally!
Thanks!

I should have done a search first...
The little oval button on the top right of the finder window is like a toggle switch. I clicked it and that popped it open.

    Genius Recommended Song List
    I think I figured out how to access the genius Recommended Songs sidebar. This should help those of you who, like me, use genius to find new music from the iTunes Store, instead of just to create genius playlists. It appears that you CAN access my beloved Recommended Song list from iTunes 11...only NOT from your library's Songs page, but through the Albums or Artists pages.
    1. Click on a song you want to see Genius Recommendations for so the song row is highlighted.
    2. Go to either the Albums or Artists page by clicking the appropriate button at the top of the library screen.
    3. Click "In The Store" at the top right of the new popup screen:
    On the Albums Page:

  • How can I get back into my application aftermath invoking Start up page of index.htm ?

    Gorgeous Hello All,
    If anyone of you can please provide me a solution for the following, will help me in plentious and galore.
    Am using Adobe RoboHelp, Version 10 and IE version being 10.
    A hurdle :-
    I have a application which has been developed in ASP .NET, Version 4.0. Help link has been created in this application wherein here the Start up page of index.htm has been linked to be read from the RoboHelp local project folder\!SSL!\Multiscreen_HTML5\desktop. All are working absolutely fine except when
    I login into the above-said application -> click on the Help page -> the index.htm opens with Contents, Index, Glossary -> Am able to successfully perform any task by respective clickings
    -> But I am not able to get back into my application when I click on the IE provided Back button (Alt+Left) -> Any amount of invoking Back button makes the system getting looped into this Start up page of index.htm only -> When I Close Tab (Ctrl + W) or Close ( X ) -> The window session gets closed and I have to repeat all by relogin once again.
    How can I get back into my application aftermath invoking Start up page of index.htm ?
    (I can always get back into the application easily by erasing those parts in the url which refers to this RoboHelp linkages – but this certainly looks non-polished work)
    Help Please

    Hey Jeff, I used Internet Explorer 10.0.9200 and Google Chrome 26.0.1410. Alas - it is the same behavior.
    (But Jeff : When I used Microsoft HTML Help as primary layout to generate chm file , My Help when launched from my Application opened in a new browser window and when I closed this Help browser window did not close my application. Looks like need to write few liner code to get this issue settled )
    Thanks Indeed of lots for your concerns Jeff !!!

  • How do I get back to my desktop?

    How do I get back to my desktop with all my icons there while I have multiple windows open without closing any windows.  I would think I could press a keyboard button to get there.  I know if I have multiple windows open and I press F4 it takes me directly to my window of widgets that I use often and when I press F4 again it takes me back to all the windows that I have open.

    Got the solution.  I went on Mac Forums and someone there told me what to do.
    He said press the FN key and then press F11.  That's fantastic.  Just what I wanted.
    It takes you right to your desktop and when you press it again it will take you back to the window you were in.
    Try it.

  • I just pressed the wrong button to erase of my IMac, how can I get back all information from my computer ?

    I just pressed the wrong button to erase of my iMac, how can i get back all information ?

    Possibly through a data rescue service (can cost a four-figure amount) if you didn't have an external backup.
    But you must stop using that Mac immediately, or your data will be over-written.

    If you do a restore you will lose everything.  Some things will be backed up in iCloud but not everything.

  • HT4463 How do I get back to the same page I was on?

    When I have finished reviewing an app, if I click the back arrow in the top left corner it takes me back to the first page of the category. Not very user friendly when there are dozens of pages to click through to get back to where you were. How do I get back to the same page I was on?

    This is what I mean:  The users guide gives me all these instructions.  BUT, it does not give instructions to just STOP.  I don't
    Pause a song
    Tap .
    Resume playback
    Tap .
    Raise or lower the volume
    Drag the onscreen volume slider or use the iPad volume buttons.
    Restart a song or a chapter in an audiobook or podcast
    Tap .
    Skip to the next song or chapter in an audiobook or podcast
    Tap .
    Go to the previous song or chapter in an audiobook or podcast
    Tap twice.
    Rewind or fast-forward
    Touch and hold or —the longer you hold the control, the faster the song rewinds or fast-forwards.
    View album art full-size
    Tap the album cover when playing a song.
    I don't want to pause, resume playback, restart or any of these things.  i just want to STOP.  How do I do that?

  • IPhone 4s call waiting; how do I get back to the first call?

    When I'm on a call and a second call comes in I tap "hold current call and answer." I get connected to the second call and the first call is put on hold. But when I am done with the second call, how do I get back to the first call? I can't find any way to get back to the call that is on hold. I usually end up hanging up on both calls. Not good.
    Also, how do I switch back and forth between two calls? How do I put the second call on hold, go back to the first call to tell that person I must call them back, then return to the second call?

  • I uploaded pictures from a second camera and my iphoto created a second library, how do i get back to the first library?

    I uploaded pictures from a second camera and my iphoto created a second library, how do i get back to the first library? Can anyone help?

    I have no idea what you did or what happened - but I can assure you that loading from a different camera does not create a new library
    So you need to supply information and someone here will assist you in sorting this out and figuring out what you really did
    What version of iPhoto do you have? What version of the OS? Why do you think that a second library has been created? What do you see when you launch iPhoto with the optipon kep depressed and use the select library option? Where is your iPhoto library normally?
    Anything else you can tell us that might help?

  • Version 4 will not open with Mac G4 System10.5.8 Replace ver3 now no Firefox at all . How do I get back to Ver 3 or get Ver 4 to open

    I down loaded Firefox 4 to my Mac Laptop G4 running operating system 10.5.8, 1.67ghz, 2gig ram. When install it in the applicatiion folder I replaced the version 3.6x that I was using. When I try to open Ver 4 I get an error message that iy cant open because it is not supported on this architecture. How do I get it to open or how do I get back to version 3.6x So i dont loose all my bookmark. For some reason Firefox on my backup disk says it has an error code and can not load

    Sorry, but as you discovered, Firefox 4+ no longer support the PowerPC CPUs.
    I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong with the reinstall. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, download and save Firefox 3.6 from here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all-older
    Does that work (i.e., pick up your profile automatically)?
    There's also an unofficial build using Firefox 5 code adapted to the PPC platform. You can read about that here: http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/

    I have erroneoulsy deleted icons repetious images from the computer which then affected my iphoto images, leaving me in some cases only with the thembnail image.   When I try to enlarge or perform any other function all that appears is a black field containing a grey circle with a black exclamation symbol( !)

    What exactly did you do to delete these?
    How did you try to "restore" and what did you try to restore?
    Probably the only solution is to restore your backup of the iPhoto library  from before you did this
