How do I open a folder on my desktop and avoid getting the left hand column with devices shared, etc and the other column with my desktop lists?

I just want to see the contents of the folder not all the other columns!

Finder->View-Hide Sidebar (⌘⌥ S). Once set, ⌘J and select Use as Defaults. That'll ensure all newly opened windows have that setting.

  • How do I open draft folder of my mail?

    How do I open draft folder of my mail?

    Tap on it. The same way that you open any folder in your email account. If you are asking how to create a draft folder .... Start typing an email and then tap Cancel at the top of the email window and you will be prompted to save or delete the draft. Tap Save Draft and then the draft folder will appear.
    Now what are you really asking about? Will your draft folder not open?

  • How do I add my Applications fold back onto the dock? People say I must drag it near the trash can, but that just puts it past that barrier. I am trying to get it back to where it disappeared from, on the left hand side near the finder icon.

    How do I add my Applications fold back onto the dock? People say I must drag it near the trash can, but that just puts it past that barrier. I am trying to get it back to where it disappeared from, on the left hand side near the finder icon. And how / why did it disappear?

    With respect, you actually cannot store folders on the left side of the Dock - only on the right side. I wonder if you're talking about Launchpad, which looks like a silver rocket and shows you your installed applications? It's not actually a shortcut to the Applications folder, though. You can certainly drag Launchpad into the left side of the Dock from the Applications folder.

  • How do I get my ereader to appear on the left hand side of Digital Editions?

    I have a Kobo Vox ereader and it works well.  It connects to my computer and appears  when I look at My Computer.  It doesn not appear on the left hand side of Digital Editions under Devices (devices does not appear either) when ADE is started.  The book I downloaded appears in ADE and is readable in ADE.  How do I get the Kobo to appear within ADE so I can transfer the book.  ADE does not seem to see the device to ask me to register it as the help screen suggest it might.  I've made sure that it is connected before I open ADE.  Please help.

    The eReader is authorized/activated with an AdobeID rather than with a computer.
    It is possible to have multiple computers and multiple devices all authorized with the same ID.
    The eReader gets its authorization when you Authorize Device from any computer;
    and then should work find when connected to any other computer authorized with the same ID.
    ~~~
    One possible reason for your issue is that you haven't authorized the laptop with your AdobeID.
    In that case ADE generates an anonymous/implicit ID with very limited capabilities.
    In particular, one capability missing is the ability to pass the implicit ID onto a device;
    so it is possible (???) that in that case ADE does not show the device.
    If that is the case
    ctrl-shift-D to ADE (cmd-shift-D if it's a Mac) on the laptop to remove the anonymous ID
    restart ADE (maybe not needed)
    authorize ADE with the same ID as you are using on the desktop
    restart ADE (maybe not needed)
    plug in the eReader and see if it is recognized

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • HT1338 I am a 20 year Mac user.  I just downloaded a book for the first time using iTunes.  When I go to "Books" in the left hand margin of iTunes and click on the new book I downloaded, nothing happens. It gets hi-lighted, but  it doesn't open?

    I am a 20 year Mac user.  I downloaded a book from iTunes moments ago.  in iTunes, under the left hand margin "Books" when I select the book and double click on it, it doesn't open.  How do I read this book?  It won't give me an option to open with other apps, but isn't there a built in app?

    iBooks can not be read on macs, only on iDevices.

  • How do I move my tabs back to the left hand side of the screen?

    Until today, all of my open tabs have appeared in a top to bottom column running down the left hand side of my screen, which works great.
    When I logged in a few minutes ago, the tabs appeared for the first time in a horizontal row running across the bottom of the screen. I would like to reposition the tabs list to its original orientation and location. How do I do that?

    That is not a built-in option in Firefox, you must have an add-on that has added that capability. There are several add-ons that can move the tab bar, check your installed add-ons to see if one of them has that option.

  • What happened to the ability to open your bookmarks on the left hand side of the screen and scroll thru them like on IE?

    In older versions of firefox, I could open the bookmarks on the left hand side of the screen, and they would stay open when i clicked on one of them, and i could use it to open multiple tabs. How do i do that in Firefox 5? I do not like the bookmark toolbar.

    *It is still there use keyboard '''Ctrl + B''' (in Windows)
    The bookmarks toolbar no longer displays by default & they seem to be encouraging use of the bookmarks button or bookmarks menu. The bookmarks sidebar is still available if you know the shortcut as above. There is also the bookmarks library, now under show all bookmarks, rather than organise/organize bookmarks. ( Also it is possible with a simple chrome command in the location bar to open the library as a tab enter
    *chrome://browser/content/places/places.xul )
    If this does answer your question; please mark the answer as helpful, and ensure you are '''logged in''' when you do that. That will mark the thread as solved and help others looking for the solution. <br/>

  • How can I return to a previous version of Numbers? Or how can I have all my sheets show on a column on the left hand side, as in the previous version?

    I updated my Numbers for Mac only to find out that there are several changes that make it less appealing for me so far (and I don't think it's only the learning curve). Questions: a) can I somehow edit the location of where I can find all the sheets (right now they are on top of the page, and you can't see all of them listed at quick glance but must scroll/arrow through them) I have in that spreadsheet? In the previous version they were all easy access on the left hand side.
    Or b) can one go back to a previous version of a program somehow?
    Thank you for any leads/answers!

    can I somehow edit the location of where I can find all the sheets (right now they are on top of the page, and you can't see all of them listed at quick glance but must scroll/arrow through them)
    On my machine I just hit shift-command-j (the keyboard shortcut I assigned in System Preferences) and a list of the sheets in the current document pops up:
    I type a number from the list and jump immediately to that sheet. The hands never have to leave the keyboard.
    (This particular document had a sheet named for each month.  But the sheets in your document automatically will be listed instead.)
    This is done via a Jump to Sheet Automator Service (Dropbox download).  To install just doubleclick the .workflow package and (if needed) click 'Download Anyway' in System Preferences > Privacy & Security.
    Installation will cause a new item to appear in your Numbers > Services menu.  Then, if you want a keyboard shortcut, go here in System Preferences and add one:
    You can rename or remove the service by holding down the option key in Finder and choosing Go > Library > Services. You can also view the AppleScript contaned within the service by opening the .workflow package in Automator.
    Note, also, that in Numbers 3 you don't have to use those left-right arrows upper right to slowly scroll left-right to the sheets that are out of view.  Just move your cursor up to the "band" with the "tabs" and drag left or right.  That's much faster than using the arrows.
