How to indefinitely hide the Finder Sidebar?

Hiding the sidebar for any given item or folder doesn't seem to affect the way newly created folders or other folders in general are displayed.
I want to "disable" or "permanently" hide the sidebar with some master preference (i.e. reverting to classic-style finder). Does such a preference exist?

OK, I understand now how that works. New folders created in folders with that view also open in the same view, regardless of what you set it to.
However, new folders created right on the desktop always inherit the full finder view until I manually change it.
Does this hold true for anyone else? It's kind of annoying for me because I tend to work with folders on the desktop first, so the benefit of inheriting the root's folder view isn't as effective for me It appears the Desktop automatically imposes the full view on the folder. Will I have to hide the sidebar for every new folder I create on the Desktop?

  • How do I change the Finder Sidebar size?

    It an earlier preview build of Lion, I was able to change the Finder sidebar text size to make it smaller.  The default was too large, taking up too much real estate.  Unfortunately, I don't remember what I did to fix it.  Finder Preferences and View Options don't seem to offer any option to change the sidebar's font.
    Does anyone know?

    Go to System Preferences/General and check the Sidebar Icon Size box.  Make your selection.  This controls the Mailbox sidebar and the Finder sidebar.
    Previous F.A.N reply answered this for me.  I'm just adding the solution to this thread.  I couldn't easily find the way to close out this query.

  • How can I hide the bookmarks sidebar once I've selected a site to got to? At the moment it remains, taking up a huge proportion of the screen and requires another click to get rid of.

    how to auto hide bookmarks side bar

    First, some clarification:
    * The location bar (often called the "awesome bar") is the larger bar on the left that shows you the address of the page you are currently viewing. As you type in the location bar it searches your history and bookmarks for matches.
    * The search bar is the smaller one on the right. It typically displays an icon of whichever search engine is currently selected and may display search suggestions as you type in it.
    It sounds like you are referring to the search bar rather than the location bar. You can change search engines for the search bar by clicking on the icon on the left edge of the search bar and choosing a different one. You can also choose "Manage Search Engines" to remove ones you aren't interested in using.
    It also sounds like Bearshare might have changed your homepage in Firefox. To restore that you will need to open the preferences menu (click Tools > Preferences), go to the General tab (first on the top left), and click "Restore to Default".

  • How to use the sharing function with other pc on the Finder sidebar?

    I discver my housemates' pc's names under "sharing" on the Finder sidebar. We all use the same wifi network at home.  Neither they nor I have enabled anything so I'm just wondering what is that for and where am I able to control sharing options?
    Also I can even access their iTunes libraries. How do these all work? Am I able to set any security options at all?

  • 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 do you auto hide the finder menu bar

    Prior to Mavericks, I could auto hide the finder menu bar by inserting:
    <key>LSUIPresentationMode</key>
    <integer>4</integer>
    in the finder info.plist after accessing core services/finderapp/contents/resources, but now in the Mavericks OSX, I receive the following error message:
    "Finder Quit Unexpectantly" and a list of various reasons; codes; etc too long to list here.  Is auto hiding the finder menu bar even doable anymore in this operating system, and if so what is the solution?

    How do you reverse that process?  I was trying it with various apps, substituting the app name in the terminal command and it worked great until I got to the "Notes" app.  I think it messed up how notes synced with iCloud.
    Thanks

  • How do I hide the sidebar altogether and get a clutter-free space to write

    In the likes of scrivener you can have a page with only what you are writing showing and the same goes for Ulysses.
    Is it possible to get rid of the sidebar in ibooks author which I basically almost never need, as I am a novelist....

    You can hide the glossary, format, and tool bars but you will always have the book outline on the left side. If that's not sufficient, I recommend that you create your content in a writing tool and import (copy/paste) the content in IBA when you are ready to format and layout you book.

  • How do I get the icons to display in the finder sidebar?

    For some odd reason, the icons in the finder sidebar on my MacBook Pro are not displaying (that means that they are not there at all, not just grey).
    I have already deleted the plist file and restarted to no effect.  any suggestions out there?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    Genius Recommended Song List
    I think I figured out how to access the genius Recommended Songs sidebar. This should help those of you who, like me, use genius to find new music from the iTunes Store, instead of just to create genius playlists. It appears that you CAN access my beloved Recommended Song list from iTunes 11...only NOT from your library's Songs page, but through the Albums or Artists pages.
    1. Click on a song you want to see Genius Recommendations for so the song row is highlighted.
    2. Go to either the Albums or Artists page by clicking the appropriate button at the top of the library screen.
    3. Click "In The Store" at the top right of the new popup screen:
    On the Albums Page:

  • How do I hide the "preview panel" in Mail. Double clicking the "separator bar" hasn't worked ( I think I know where that bar is.)

    How can I hide the "preview panel" in Mail? Double clicking on the "separator bar" , as directed by Mail Help, does nothing. ( I am not certain where that bar is, but believe it to be the zone where the preview panel and the message space meet.) This issue only arose after I upgraded to Mavericks.

    The only way I found to hide the "preview panel" is to drag the separator to the edge of the window. It shrinks the panel down to perhaps 1/2 inch in height and then disappears only when you drag it to the bottom (classic layout) or perhaps a couple inches wide (in the new layout). It is also annoying to me that you can double click to open the preview panel but you cannot repeat that to hide it. [sigh]
    I submitted feedback about the help file as well - you may want to do the same. I could not find the double click mentioned in the new "Mail Help" - I know it was in the old version.

  • How can I hide the tool data box?

    How can I hide the tool data box that reads out the loction in Photoshop CS6?
    It appears when I move a layer or change the size.
    It is very distracting and totally useless for me (I'm an artist - not an engineer).
    I can't find a setting to remove that black box.  I hope there is a way to make it go away...
    Thanks!

    It sounds like your talking about the transformation values.
    In the photoshop preferences under Interface you can set Show Transformation Values to Never

  • Can I rearrange the Finder Sidebar items?

    Is it possible to rearrange the Finder Sidebar items? I would like to get the "10.6" order: Devices>Network>Places

    I find this extremely annoying as well. Of course you can drag any volume to the favorites list - BUT - if you unmount them, they do NOT reappear there when they are re-mounted. You have to manually add them back again.
    Also, I work with a lot of volumes that require frequent mounting and un-mounting. It's a time waster to try and keep them in the favorites list so I've given up.
    Constantly having to scroll DOWN to get to the bottom of the list is ridiculous. So combine that with the fact that there are NO MORE COLORED icons in the sidebar. Talk about ***-backward-going-in-the-wrong-direction-mentality.... So with my poor eyesight, I find basic navigation within the Finder becoming more and more of a strain.
    Seems like Apple is going out of their way making things MORE difficult for the Pro user as they try to simplify things for "switchers" and for the "rest of us...".
    While I'm on a roll, I find that every time there is a big issue from us users about something that has been changed in the OS with an update, more and more of the solutions are from power users that post up terminal commands to rectify those issues, or try to direct people on how to edit .plist files. These people are certainly trying to help but working in the terminal is VERY risky business for the average user.
    Configurability from the Finder is slowly going away with every new OS incarnation, forcing average users to dig deeper into areas they should NOT have to be dealing with. You see the problem here?
    And lastly, I'm not hater. Far from it. I've been a loyal customer for 20 years which is why it's so sad and frustrating to me.
    It's just that I hate to watch this slow yet steady progression into the pale grey realms of un-configurability...

  • How do I hide the artist picture in ios 7 music player?

    I like the artist and album "list view" in the ios 6 music player much better than the view that includes a random picture on ios 7.  How do I hide the picture and get my list view back?
