How to reset Places sidebar in Finder?

Hi,
Somehow I dragged 500+ pictures references in the "Places" sidebar of my Finder. Is drag and drop the only way to remove them from the sidebar, one by one, or is there a faster way? I looked in the Finder->Preferences->Sidebar menu, but I couldn't find a way to reset the entire sidebar.

delete the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist and log out/in.

  • How to rearrange the sidebar in finder

    Ok I know how to show and hide stuff in the finder sidebar through preferences but I'd like to be able to show all my drives at the top of the sidebar and then all the folder shortcuts below that, with different servers etc inbetween, much like SL.
    Anyone know how to do this?

    You can to a limited extent.
    Rather than repeating wahat's been already said see "More like this" on the right.

  • How do I find out what my PW is on my Mac or at least how to reset it?

    I reset my password for internet site but i must have a different pw on my Mac, it will not let me do updates without it*  The PW hint in the sign in screen is not working.  How do I find out what my PW is on my Mac or at least how to reset it?
    thanks,
    sticksrrll.

    Sounds like you want your administrative password on the Mac so can install? For starters, you'll want to ask in a Mac forum. I know you used to be able to reset it using the install disk but haven't tried that for years.

  • Hello i forgot my i cloud password..anyone can help me to find my password.i already make a new apple id..but my icloud use another account..so how to reset my iCloud account plz hel me

    hello i forgot my i cloud password..anyone can help me to find my password.i already make a new apple id..but my icloud use another account..so how to reset my iCloud account plz hel me

    Making a new Apple ID is not a good idea, since you have to reset the password for that Apple ID anyway. All of your purchases are tied to the Apple ID that the iCloud account was created under. So, you have to retrieve the password for that Apple ID in order to sign into iCloud anyway.
    Go to Manage your Apple ID, and click on the Reset Password option (Apple - My Apple ID). Sign on with the Apple ID that the iCloud account was created under, and answer the security questions. If you do not remember the answers to the Security Questions, contact Apple Support to have them reset:

  • HT201363 I cannot find the answers to my security questions for Itunes and cannot figure out how to reset them

    I cannot find the answers to my security questions for ITunes and cannot figure out how to reset the questions.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    If everything appears to be in negative then try triple-clicking the home button - if that works then you can change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home. If it doesn't then go into Settings > General > Accessiblity and turn White On Black 'off'

  • HT2101 I can't find the keyboard by using iMessage, but I can by using email or whatsapp? How I reset the keyboard on iMessage?

    I can't find the keyboard by using iMessage, but I can by using email or whatsapp? How I reset the keyboard on iMessage?

    Did you tap in the box at the bottom of iMessage?
    If you did and no keyboard is showing: Do a reset
    Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data
    If that didn't helped, double tap Home button, delete the Message app and reset again.

    Anything is possible.
    it could be off or not connected to wi-fi. 
    It could have been found and restored.
    In any of these cases you will not be able to find it.

  • Dead Aliases will NOT drag off of Finder Places sidebar

    I have three aliases representing folders on our LAN at work.  Our MIS guys have renamed the network drive, so the aliases are now orphaned.   When I try to drag them out of Places on the Finder sidebar, they won't poof away.  They just snap back to the sidebar...  Is there another way to get rid of these, or at least update the aliases?  I'm using the latest version of OS X on a 2008 15.4" MBP.

    Wonderful, works for me as well (and it's simple). Took a thorn out of my foot. I had "left over" dead aliases after a complete timemachine installation.  Thanks.

    i lost my iphone and reset it all through find my iphone and after locating it and getting it back i can not turn the phone back on how can i fix this

    Unless you had enabled Find My iPhone on it before it was lost then there isn't any way to locate it (it can only be turned on directly on the phone, it can't be done remotely). If you did enable it then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPhone disabled on it.
    If you think that it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

  • How to reset my Ipad if I can't disable Find my Iphone?

         I forgot my restrictions passcode, so I went to try and reset it on my computer. However, Itunes says that I need to disable Find My Iphone on my Ipad. So I go to the settings, and I find the Icloud tab, but the restrictions prevent me from opening it. Is there another way to reset or turn off Find My Iphone?

    You can access iCloud.com on a computer to turn it off.

    To remove the Restrictions passcode you will need to Restore the Device as New...
