How to hide a network resource from the Finder sidebar?

Hi everyone,
I'd like to hide a network drive from my Finder sidebar.
Googling around, I only found how to hide all of them, but nothing about a specific one...
Could anyone help me getting the proper Terminal commands?
Thanks

It didn't work It seems I can't drag a network device out of the sidebar... I think I need some Terminal commands, but I'm not able to write them myself.
Thanks anyway for your reply

  • How to hide a network volume on the finder.

    We use a java application to manage advertising.
    This application must reach a smb network volume to access to
    the files. On the other hand we do not want that the users can access to
    this network volume (to see this network volume on the finder).
    It is possible to hide a network volume on the finder.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks for the help.

    Finder -> Preferences -> General -> Show these items on the desktop and uncheck the 'Connected Servers' option.
    Alternatively, if you want to leave other servers showing, you can manually mount the volume at any other point, bypassing the /Volumes directory:
    mount smb://server/sharename /some/other/mount
    This should mount the share at the path /some/other/mount rather than at the default /Volumes/sharename

  • How can I remove icons from the Finder sidebar?  Were transferred when I set up laptop from my desktop computer.  Tried dragging off but that didn't work.

    How can I remove icons from the Finder sidebar?  Transferred info from my Mac Pro desktop computer (using target mode) and there were folder icons on the Mac Pro Finder sidebar that are now on the MacBook Finder sidebar, even though these folders do not exist on the MacBook.  Tried to drag them off, which is the usual way to get rid of folders that the user adds to the sidebar (as opposed to those that can be added via the Customize Toolbar dropdown menu) but was unsuccessful.  I then unchecked all of the Customize Toolbar menu items and the folder icons still remained.  What else can I do?

    Did you hold the Command (Apple) key while dragging them off the sidebar? That usually makes them go *poof*.

  • How to mount a sharepoint server from the finder

    Can anyone help me with how to mount a microsoft sharepoint services server from the finder. I need to do this because I want to use the collaboration features in Acrobat 8. In order to create a shared review I need to be able to open the document from the sharepoint site with the full version of acrobat and I cannot do that from the web browser. From a PC I would choose to add a network location and the wizard creates a network location in the explorer, then I can access the sharepoint site (across the internet) like another file folder on my local network. I cannot seem to figure out how to accomplish the same thing on the mac. When I put in the URL for the share point site in the connect dialog from the finder it opens a webdave dialog box asking for a domain name and I have no idea what that is and it tells me the password or user name is not correct. Any help would be appreciated

  • How to hide a tree node from the GUI but still keep it in the tree model?

    Hi, All
    I used a JTree in my project in which I have a DefaultTreeModel to store all the tree structure and a JTree show it on the screen. But for some reason, I want to hide some of the nodes from the user, but I don't want to remove them from the tree model because later on I still need to use them.
    I searched on the web, some people suggested method to hide the root node, but that's not appliable to my project because I want to hide some non-root nodes; Some people also suggested to collapse the parent node when there are child to hide, it is not appliable to me either, because there still some other childnodes (sibling of the node to hide) I want to show.
    How can I hide some of the tree node from the user? Thanks for any information.
    Linda

    Here's an example using a derivation of DefaultTreeModel that shows (or does not show) two types of Sneech (appologies to the good Dr Zeus) by overiding two methods on the model.
    Now, there are many things wrong with this example (using instanceof, for example), but it's pretty tight and shows one way of doing what you want.
    Note: to make it useful, you''d have to change the implementation of setShowStarBelliedSneeches() to do something more sophisticated than simply firing a structure change event on the root node. You'd want to find all the star bellied sneech nodes and call fireTreeNodesRemoved(). That way the tree would stay expanded rather than collapse as it does now.

  • How do I recover a device deleted from the Finder sidebar?

    I connected a Garmin Edge 800 GPS unit to my MacBook Pro to backup its files. I made a file on the computer named "Garmin" to copy the files into. In the sidebar, in Finder, two devices showed, one named "Garmin" and the other "No Name" which is the mini SD card for the Garmin unit. I thought I'd try dragging "Garmin" into the folder but when I dragged and dropped it went up in the cloud of smoke icon. The actual Garmin unit works fine but when it's plugged in the only thing showing in the sidebar is "No Name". If I eject "No Name" and disconnect I get the message that "Garmin" wasn't ejected properly, so I know it's being detected, I just don't see it in the sidebar any more. It wouldn't matter to me except I need to open the Garmin unit so I can copy the files.
    I looked in "Trash" but nothing named "Garmin" exists there. I also tried restarting the computer and the Garmin before reconnecting but the only device showing in the sidebar is the "No Name" mini card. So, how do I get the unit to show up in the sidebar again?
    Thanks in advance,
    Doug

    I got the answer from Reddit - Finder > Preferences > Sidebar > Devices > External disks.

  • How do I remove dead shortcuts from the finder favorites menu?

    I just bought a new Macbook Pro with Lion OS to replace my old macbook running snow leopard.  To transfer my old data, I use the migration assistant and time machine backup.  For the most part everything went smoothly.  However, now when I open finder, there is a dead shortcut on the favorites menu.  On my old laptop, it linked to a folder on my bootcamp partition, but I don't have a partion on my new computer.  I am unable to move or delete the shortcut from the list.  It's cluttering up my finder sidebar and I would love to get rid of it. 
    Any suggestions?

  • How to hide/remove Particular column from the payslip in ESS\MSS Portal overview table?

    Steps to be followed.
    1)Go to SE18
    2)Select Enhancement spot
    3)Give the Espot name 'HRESS_PAYSLIP'
    4)From left side double click on the Implementing Class 'CL_HRESS_PAYSLIP_BADI_STANDARD'.
    5)Within that double click on the method 'if_hress_payslip_badi~adjust_field_catalog'.
    6)AT the end of this method there will be 4 Lines of coding with the Loop and endloop. This is the code which
    is use to hide the column from ESS/MSS payslip overview.
    7) According to your requirements you should copy the same 4 lines code and hard code the particular column field name
    with the Implicit Enhancement.
    Below Code is for ur understanding:
      clear ls_field_usage.
       ls_field_usage-enabled = abap_false.
        ls_field_usage-visibility = cl_wd_uielement=>e_visible-none.
        modify ct_field_usage from ls_field_usage transporting enabled visibility
          where name eq 'Hardcode ur column field name'.

  • How to hide name of Role from the top level navigation of the portal

    Hi Experts,
    In my project, I have created 2 roles Role A and Role B. These roles have been assigned to User X.
    When user X logs in, he is able to see name of role that is 'A' in the top level navigation.
    As per the requirement, user X should not see the 'A'.
    Rather user X should see following:
    Top Level Navigation: 'My Work'
    When user clicks on 'My Work', he should see
    'My Sub Work1' and 'My Sub Work2'.
    After that under 'My Sub Work1' user should see following
    All Objects of Role A
    All Objects of Role B
    Name of role i.e. 'A' or 'B' should not be displayed at all at any place in navigation.
    Only whatever objects  has been assigned to Role A and B should be displayed in detailed navigation area.
    Can you please let me know how to achieve this?
    Pictorial Diagram:
                      My Work       (In top level navigation)
    My Sub Work1    My Sub Work2    (In top level navigation)
    _________Objects of role
    A
           |
           |_________Objects of role
                                   B
    Please note that 'My  Work' and 'My Sub Work1' and 'My Sub Work2) are not roles. They are just the name of folders.
    Can you please let me know how to achieve it?
    Regards,
    Brian

    Hi Brian,
    Try the following steps.
    1. Change the 'Entry Point' property of Roles A and B to 'No'.
    2. Create a role folder called 'My Work' under A and B.
    3. Set the 'Entry point' property of this folder to 'Yes'.
    4. Set the 'merge id' property of the folder as "mywork" (or any other string) under both roles A and B.
    5. Under 'My Work' in Role A,
    a. Set the 'Merge Priority' property to 50.
    b. create subfolder 'My sub work1' and create all your objects.
    6. Under 'My Work' in Role B,
    a. Set the 'Merge Priority' property to 100.
    b. create subfolder 'My sub work2' and create all your objects.
    7. Make sure the user is assigned both the roles A and B. Only then he/she can see objects of both the roles.
    8. One thing to remember while merging folders is that, all the entities that are being merged should be at the same level. For eg: in our case, you cannot merge 'my subwork1' in role A, with 'my work' in role B.
    Reward points if helpful.

    Priya

  • Mounted network resources in the sidebar

    Remember in Tiger, where after you added some network resources you have in your network, into the sidebar, and they STAYED there?!
    For instance, I have my
    smb://192.168.x.44/downloads/
    smb://192.168.x.55/dump1
    smb://192.168.x.66/dump2
    Now, why oh WHY can I not keep those mounted network resources in the bloody sidebar after I put them there!?
    To further complicate the redicilousness of this:
    My leopard system is an upgrade from tiger, so the first one (downloads) is there - all the time, just like I want it to be, because it was in Tiger. But for some reason, adding NEW resources and having them stay there, is impossible.
    Is there a hack or perhaps an .xml file somewhere that I can edit just to get this problem fixed? I doubt Apple will fix it as they think their "shared" feature is the salvation - it's NOT.

    go to system preferences > accounts > login items tab
    add your network drives there to auto-mount on login.
    then add them to the sidebar... restart and see if they stay there that way... that's what i did and mine do.
    they didn't take the feature away in leopard... they just changed they way you make it happen... for some reason it's a bit less intuitive but still very possible.

  • Adding multiple songs to iTunes from the Finder

    The way I usually add songs to iTunes is to select multiple songs at once from the Finder and then add them all to iTunes. Now in Lion when I have two or more items selected it only adds and opens one of them instead of copying all of them to the iTunes folder. How do I add them all from the Finder into iTunes to save me some time.
    Also the default file opener for .m4a, .mp3 etc. was changed to Audacity for no reason when I upgraded to Lion. I had to manually change it back to iTunes.

    Can you do it the other way?
    Open iTunes and on the File menu is Add to Library where you can choose which ones to import.

  • How to hide or rename the HP Printer's Mac address from Lion Finder Sidebar

    I have an HP d100a all in one printer, and since upgrading to OSX 10.7 (Lion), my printer's mac address shows up in the Finder Sidebar under Shared devices. I understand this is for the printers SD card slot to be shared over my network, however the name is not user friendly.
    Is there a way to rename what is displayed in the Finder window, from the devices mac address to a friendlier name?
    If not, is there a way to disable the sharing of the SD card slot so it is hidden from the sidebar completely?
    I have found several posts from people not knowing what this entry is, but I have not managed to find any posts that explain how to rename or hide the entry.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

    I have also registered to this forum to inform that the problem with showing the MAC-address in the sidebar of the finder is still not solved.
    The strange thing is that the Embedded Web Server says:
    "This specifies the Bonjour domain name assigned to the device, in the form <host name>.local. If a user-specified host name has not been assigned, the default host name HPxxxxxx is used, where xxxxxx are the last 6 digits of the LAN hardware (MAC) address. This option cannot be modified."
    But I did assign a user-specified host name and that name does show-up everywere (also within Bonjour), except in the sidebar of the finder (hp###xx##x####). Lots of people have the same issue, when searching on the interet, but not one has found the solution.
    Please help with solving this issues?

  • How / When Does a Device Jump from the 2.4 GHz Network to the 5.0 GHz Network

    I understand -- through another thread that I started -- that the Guest Network will be both 2.4 GHz as well as 5.0 GHz....I would like to understand how / when does a device jump from the 2.4 GHz network to the 5.0 GHz network as I understand that: the 2.4 GHz network is slower but has greater range relative to the 5.0 GHz network.
    Thx...

    Bob Timmons wrote:
    A device will connect to either the 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz band based on its own capabilities and distance in relation to the router.
    So, if you have a 5 GHz capable device that is in close proximity to the router, it will connect at 5 GHz.  If that device moves a few rooms away from the router, it will switch over to the 2.4 GHz band since that signal will be stronger....and likely faster at that location.
    Think of 5 GHz as a "same room" connection or "line-of-sight" deal. It might be OK through one wall....if it is thin.
    You do have an option to assign a separate name to the 5 GHz band in AirPort Utility. Once you have done that, simply "point" the device at the network with the 5 GHz name. Some users swear by this and some swear at this.
    The downside to doing this......the device will likely try to hang on to the 5 GHz connection if it moves a few rooms away from the router.....at a location where the 2.4 GHz signal is stronger and likely faster.
    Again, thanks for the very helpful response.
    It occurs to me from reading the above that it makes sense to let the device (using your words) connect to either the 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz band based on its capabilities and distance in relation to the router as I can see / understand the downside and issue of manually pointing to or selecting  a specific network.
    The reason that I purchased an Apple router is the hope that it will work better than some of the other routers I have tried as far as the 5 GHz / 2.4 GHz dual banding is concerned because in most of these cases I have had to disable the 5 GHz band to maintain a reliable internet connection...hopefully the Aiport Extreme will not require me to do so [i.e. it will work]!
    With respect to *BOTH* the Primary Network and the Guest Network being dual band I can only conclude that this work because there are essentially two separates networks [i.e. 10.o.x.x and 172.16.x.x] that are using the send / receive configuration capabilities.
    Thx...

  • How can I hide or delete updates from the App Store I am not interested in using?

    How can I hide or delete updates from the App Store I am not interested in using?

    This works for apps you've acquired, but does not work for built-in features.  I am regularly nagged to update Digital Camera RAW Compatibility (currently I'm being nagged about Update 6.03).  I've tried the method described above - the steps are available, but they appear to have no effect.  I think this is perhaps because RAW compatibility is an element of OSX rather than a separate app.  I don't use RAW format with cameras, and have no need for this feature.  Even if I did, I have none of the 13 camera models listed in this update. 
    It is just a nuisance, but if anyone knows how to suppress this I would appreciate instructions. 
    I would also be curious if anyone can explain why on earth Apple would incorporate RAW camera format compatibility into the core of its operating system.  It shakes my confidence in their operating system design.
