How to delete items in the "Places" list in Finder?

In Finder, in the left column, I have several entries under "Places" which do not belong on this MacMini. When I click on them I get the message "The volume for xxxx cannot be found". Nor can I delete them from "places". I also fear that this is the reason that the MacMini now is exceedingly slow, i.e. spinning color wheels on end.
These items in "Places" might have gotten on the Mini when I did some synchronization via .Mac with my PowerBook (where these Places make sense), but I would not have any idea which setting could have caused this.
Any pointers will be highly appreciated.
Cheers,
Veit

Thanks for this solution! Why did I never try it?

  • How to delete items from the list of "auto-open" tabs that load whenever FF4 opens?

    When I recently downloaded FF4, I was asked if I'd like to have FF automatically open the same tabs as were set in my IE. Great! Worked perfectly until I set those tabs as App Tabs. Now both the App Tabs and the original IE set of tabs open whenever I open FF -- essentially each tab loads twice -- as app tab and large tab. How can I delete tabs from the list of "auto-open" tabs? In addition, for some reason, every time I try to set my home page, it's not working -- I keep getting the same home page regardless of how many times I have tried to set a new one.

    You can close a tab with a middle-click or with a left click on the close X on the tab or via the right-click context menu of that tab.<br />
    Do those tabs come back if you close then and lose Firefox?

  • Permanently delete items on the download list

    I have over ten tv shows on the list of items available for download, and I don't want them.  I've tried to just let them download and then delete them, but I always get an error when I try that, and the shows won't download.  How do I delete these items?

    There are a number of predefined genres, the rest are those entered in the tags of your files. Open the list/album list view with column browser and turn on the Genres column. Find a genre you want to remove or merge with another. Click on it to show all the files with that genre. Select all & Get info. Type in the updated value for the Genre. Click OK. Repeat until finished....
    If you want to edit the list of available genres still left after clearing any that are stored in your tags, see this article.

    You can't remove the built-in root certificates, but you can remove their trust bits via the Edit button to prevent Firefox from using them as a trusted root certificate.
    Intermediate certificates that Firefox has stored when visiting websites that show as "Software Security Device" should never has trust bits set.
    Note that it is the responsibility of a server to send all required intermediate certificates to make it possible to build a certificate chain that ends with a built-in root certificate.

    Thanks. That solved it. I had my doubts since I wasn't concerned about my lost bookmarks. I was concerned about the broken functionality. In any event, restoring from a backup solved both the functionality and the lost bookmarks. I appreciate the response!

    im new at this lol just wondering if anyone knew how to delete something in ur download list if u dont wanna download it?

    Deleting the download will not stop it from using your "credit" in iTunes.  The content has already been purchased.
    You could simply let it download or delete the entry from the downloads page.
