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 you Remove a photo from the camera roll album without deleting from other albums

    How do you Remove a photo from the camera roll album without deleting from other albums

    If it was originally on the camera roll try this: take another unimportant photo for test purposes, copy it to any special folder you have created within Photos, connect your iPad to your computer, locate it as any other external device, and most likely that Photos folder will be the only thing that will show up, locate the photo, delete it and then sync your iPad.
    If the test photo is gone from the camera roll but still in another folder within the app then you know that the system works so go ahead with the process. I understand that there are other photo apps which might let you achieve your goal much quicker.
    Hope thi helps.

    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.

  • I am a senior citizen newbie to apple.  I have just downloaded my pictures from my camera.  How do i remove my usb port from my mac pro without damaging anything?

    I am a senior citizen newbie to apple.  I have just downloaded my pictures to my Mac Pro.  How do I remove the usb port without damaging anything.  I know I shouldn't just pull it out.

    The iphone is a "plug and play" device.  It is safe to unplug it without "ejecting it".  If you want to be sure it is safe open itunes and under devices next to your iphone you should see the eject symbol like a line with an up arrow above it, click that.  Once you no longer see the iphone listed under devices it'll be safe to remove.

    Hey Matt...
    When I select it, it's blank.. nothing's in there... I think I first saw that when I used my laptop @ a hotel I had to connect through a ethernet cable and there was a bunch of networks... but now I am back in my office and just connecting to my wirless connection called "rhino's" (thats' the name of my company)
    So I'm not sure why the "All" is there.. and when I click on it, it doesn't show any network...
    Hope its not too confusing mate.
    Thanks,
    -Joey

  • How do you remove a non-existant folder from the sidebar?

    I am having trouble removing a file from 'places' in my sidebar. The file doesn't exist any more. I cannot drag it out nor can I highlight it to 'get info' to see if it has somehow become locked. I hope someone can help.

    You don't have to highlight it, simply Right or Control click the offending item and select "Remove from Sidebar."

  • 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?

  • How do i view 'Today, Yesterday' search options in finder sidebar?

    Today i just got a new iMac, previously using a 2009 macbook. A feature in the finder sidebar that i use everyday is no longer there, nor can i find a setting to show/unhide it. The 'Today' 'search for'  sorting option. i use it all the time when sorting through thousands of photos and files i'm not about to rename. When sorting through my photos, i open the ones i wish to later use, then close them. When going to import those chosen files later into a program or upload them online, i can then select them all in a cluster, using the Today tab on the left sidebar.
    This feature is very important to me, and not having it is creating a huge amount of time trying to search and upload files one at a time...
    How do i get the date sorting options back in the sidebar?
