How to have SIdebar aliases permanent

I like making use of the Places section of the Finder Sidebar. However, if one of the Places is on an external drive, that place is removed. I would think it possible for it to stay there and become functional when that drive is remounted. (Regular aliases and symbolic links can manage this). Does anyone know of a hack or utility which gives this functionality?

no. this is how it works with sidebar. you can put a link in the toolbar instead of sidebar though and it will stay there even on drive ejection. it will become a question mark though until you plug the external back in.

  • Updated my iPhone 5 to ios7, in the App store after installing updates I now have a never ending list of the Apps I've updated.  How do I get rid of the list after they've been updated?  In the previous version I did not have an annoying permanent list.

    iOS 7 allows you to have your apps update automatically. Therefore, the list of what has been updated stays so that you can see what was updated, when and what the release notes say. It has been suggested that they list has a limit, much like Recents. Currently, there is no way for the user to delete the entries manually. Just try not to look at them.

  • I have 182GB of hidden files in iPhotos how do I delete them permanently

    I have 182GB of hidden files in iPhotos how do I delete them permanently - Help I have searched in finder images and cannot find them there or in iPhotos - please help
    thanks

    MDo you have an external HD you can store the full iPhoto library on?  If so copy your library to it as your backup.
    Then open the library on your Mac and create a smart album with the criteria Date is before XX/XX/XXXX.  This will display all photos before that date. You can then select groups of about 100 photos and type Command+Option+Delete to move them to the iPhoto Trash where you can empty it.  Then repeat for another batch of about 100. iPhoto chokes when trying to delete large numbers of photos.
    Or if you know which Events you want to remove just select a couple and drag them to the iPhoto Trash bin and empty.

  • EPDF files failing to read on ADE reading software when they have Sidebar color graphics and text, how do we fix problem?

    We have 2 different InDesign files not reading properly in ADE reader. Both files have sidebar color graphics and text in them. The one original file's EPDF was showing blank pages for all the page with the sidebars in it when opened in ADE (they are DRM wrapped). Pages that did not have the sidebar showed up fine. Our ebook distributor is telling us that we have to rasterize the file. We are working in InDesign 6 with Adobe Acrobat X Pro. We made JPEGS of each page and reimported into an InDesign file and exported to PDF and our ADE reader then showed the sidebar pages. The file is pretty large though and I have a full length book that has the same problem. What is the problem with our sidebars and what are better solutions than JPEGS for each page? Thanks.

    I will give that a try, thank you.

  • How do I create a permanent backup of all my iTunes data, and movies?

    I'm confused about how to effectively backup and share my data.  And know others must have wrestled with this one too - so help please!
    Our family works across several platforms (PC, MacBookPro, 2 iPads, iPods, 2 iPhones and appleTV) and want to have a method to effectively share and save (i.e. permanently backup) our data (iTunes, other documents and movies).   We use HomeSharing, iCloud and iTunes Match, which work most of the time.  All the devices are linked to a single iTunes library.
    I understand that iCloud serves to synchronise data and share it between devices. Great.  But how do I create a permanent backup of the data?  I could get a third party online service (e.g. Box.net) or use external harddrives.  Is there a simpler approach that apple provides, that I've missed?  I'd lke to make teh solution a simple to use (i.e. upload data and share it), reliable without paying the earth!

    How to Enable IPv6 Connection Permanently ?
    I've searched Microsoft's websites for hours trying to enable IPv6 but no one seems to know.
    I've enabled IPv6 from the registry but it disables after restart.
    I think ESET Endpoint is disabling it.
    I have got IPv6 enabled on the Router.
    Please help.

    Hi,
    Microsoft already provide a hotfix to enable IPV6, you can access to the link below to download it for test.

  • How to Import Member Aliases during Dimension build.

    HI All ,
    I have to build dimensions in Essbase using load rule files. I can create dimensions and its respected members.
    But problem is that i also want to assign aliases with member names in Essbase hierarchy.
    so How i can assign aliases (In source .csv file) also along with dimension members to update aliases in hierarchy of Essbase.
    your suggestions are very precious for me .
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    in the source file itself you can have a column for Alias names.
    You can use any build type either genref or levref or parent-child.
    the below DBAG link will guide you for adding alias names using Rules file.

  • How can I make a permanent change in the zoom level?

    I want to know how I can make a permanent change is the zoom level? I dont want to constantly have to change it from the default value of 100% every time I go to a different page. Thanks.

    Hello,
    You can also use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2592/ NoSquint] add-on to change the default zoom level for all websites at once. After setting your global zoom level, you can fine-tune the zoom on individual sites and set the options so that NoSquint remembers per-site settings.
    After installing NoSquint, go to the add-ons page to set the per-site settings:
    * Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Add-ons > Extensions
    * Click the "Options" button by NoSquint

  • I added Panorama Group Tabs and I don't like the way it works. I want to remove it but can't find or figure out a way to. Can you please tell me how it can be removed permanently? Thanks!

    I added Panorama Group Tabs and I don't like the way it works. I want to remove it but can't find or figure out a way to. Can you please tell me how it can be removed permanently? Thanks!

    That link doesn't tell you how to remove the Panoroma Tab Groups!! My main issue with it is that along my tabs at the top I no longer have the tab to open a new tab. Instead I have to click on the tab groups and then open them and click on an open area in the tab to get a new tab opened!! Is there a way to add that? I don't see that when I go to customize the tool bar as there's no icon to add it, just one to open a new window, which I don't want to do!! Thanks!!

    Hi,
    a Windows Domain Controller does not have any local user or groups. So you might add the user to the admin group at Domain level.
