How to Unhide Devices on your Finder window

So I hid one of my divices and I would like to undo that but I don't know how to.

Hey there,
I'm assuming you hid it from the Finder sidebar. To get it back, click 'Finder' in the menu bar at the top, then 'Preferences', go to the 'Sidebar' tab and untick and then retick the category of the device that you hid.
Let me know if this helps,
Nathan

My Sony mp3 player synced with my iphoto. How do I unsync it? It no longer shows up as a device in my Finder window.

I plugged my Sony mp3 player into my mac mini, Snow Leopard, and it synced with my iphoto. Now it does not show up as a device anywhere, not even iphoto. When I plug in the mp3 via its usb, it opens iphoto. How do I stop this and get it back as a device in my Finder window so I can load songs on it again.

Turns out my Mac put code on the mp3 player because after I reset the mp3 player to its 'factory settings', (erasing everything) it went back to normal and now shows up in the finder window.

How do I add docs to Finder window sidebar?

Hi
How do I add docs to Finder window sidebar? I used to be able to, now I can't. I can add folders but not docs.

That feature has been dropped with Mavericks. I've since added a folder to my dock and add the single documents to it:

How do I make a new finder window open 'inside' my home folder?

In finder I have set new finder windows to open my home folder, however it is actually opening the Users folder. So if I press down, it will select the next user in the list rather than selecting the first folder in my home directory.
This doesn't happen for any other folders. e.g. If I set it to open my documents folder and I press down, the first document in the folder will be selected.
Any idea how I can get this to work properly?

Double check in Finder preferences that you actually have set it to your home folder because your entire description is consistent with it being set to the Users folder. I don't see how it can be set to 'home' and open any folder other than that one.
Can you post a screenshot of the Finder preferences | General setting?

How to change fonts in the Finder window

How does one change change fonts in the Finder Window?
I've done it before and I know it's different in the Side Bar and for the fonts in Column View or List View.
It doesn't seem to be in Finder Preferences.
I can't find in in System Preferences.
It's not in Font Book.
Where is it???
TIA

If you click the Action Gear you have the option to change font sizes. I am not sure if changing the font per se is possible without a system hack which I do not recommend.

How can I sort two open Finder windows differently?

I have two Finder windows open. I want to sort one by date and one by name. Whenever I try changing one window, Finder changes the other window too. What am I doing wrong?

terry,
Now not optimal but you can open the folder you want to organize by say size, and name or Whatever, in to windows. Organize one by name for my example, and in the other start a spotlight search with a space (Hit the spacebar once). Change the search criteria from Macintosh HD and select the folder you were in, if the spotlight search isn't in list view change it to list view. And now you can organize the to windows independent to each other.
But as this is still not the most optimal solution I would send Apple your feedback by going to http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
Also I've never used it but you could look into MuCommander it might do what you would like. http://www.mucommander.com/

How to unhide DEVICE in itunes?

I went to itunes on my macbook and in the left pane there are headings like - LIBRARY, STORE, SHARED, etc. I think there may have been one called DEVICES too (where my ipad 2 was listed). I accidentally hit "hide" and now I don't know how to unhide it. Can someone tell me how? Thanks

When you click the hide button it collapses the menu. Just click it again and it should come back.

How to make it not show Finder window when system starts up?

The subject is the question....a Finder window is always open when system first starts up and how do I make it show and not show? Thanks.

someone else had this problem too, check out this thread
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1819909&tstart=150
He fixed it by changing his wallpaper settings....(lol, copied and pasted from my post in another thread) might not be the same fix as what you need, but heck, why not try, right?

How can I set Toolbar in Finder Window as default ?

If I click new folder window (N) sometimes I get it with the toolbar and sometimes not. Is there anyway to set this as a default ? I can't find it in view/customize toolbar and I can't think where else it could be.
In Leopard (clean install) I also find that my side toolbar doesn't always respond the way it should. My side toolbar has a couple of sub folders and main folders that I use really regularly. I prefer list view. Again, sometimes, if I have clicked on a subfolder and then want to use the side toolbar to navigate up to the parent folder (easier, I find, if you are in list view, than other approaches), then the system refuses to respond.
Does anyone else have the same problems ?
Thanks

I was running into what may have been a similar problem with the toolbar not showing up on some of my Finder windows. Trashing /Volumes/Macintosh HD/.DS_Store solved it for me (you'll obviously need to change "Macintosh HD" if you've renamed your boot volume). Your mileage may vary..

How do I keep my new finder window preference set to open a certain folder on the server?

Since switching to Lion, my new finder window preference keeps resetting itself to default. When I open a new finder window I want it to be a certain folder on our server. This setting was persistent in Snow Leopard. Now I have to keep setting it back, sometimes more than once a day. Please help, its very time consuming to have to click through to get to the folder I use most often every time I open a finder window.

Enabling thirds-party cookies is the default and if there aren't any other changes made then Firefox will show "Remember History"
Choosing the "Use custom settings for history" setting doesn't make any changes.<br />
If Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting then that is an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings are not the default to make you aware that changes were If all History settings are default then you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History" and the custom settings are hidden.<br />

How do I rename a device in the Finder window?

I have several computers in the house. When I am sharing the devices on my network, my newest one, a MacBook Air, seems to be named as a MacBook, probably because the transfer method of files from my older MacBook when I set it up ended up keeping the account info, including the name. It's confusing for me to see "Jenny's MacBook" and "Jenny's MacBook (2)" as the names of these two devices. Is there a way to change the name of my MacBook Air to make it unique and frankly, more accurate?

Found the answer after digging a little in the Apple Discussions--use the Sharing Preference window under System Preferences. The device name can be changes there.

Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Device List Not Finding Windows 8 Wireless Adapter

I recently upgraded my Wi-Fi router to an EA3500 and am controlling it using Smart Wi-Fi running on a wired Windows 7 machine.
So far, I have been able to add devices to the network without issue and each of those connections works fine. All, except my TV, have been Windows 7 based machines.  Smart Wi-Fi Device List has been able to "see" each device and I have been able to add them to that list as well.
I am attempting to add a Windows 8 desktop computer to the network which is using a external USB wireless adapter. That computer can see and connect to the network through the EA3500 and the connection seems to work fine. The only issue is that its adapter does not show up in the Device List.
My questions:
1) Does the Device List do anything else besides showing a list of devices I chosen to add to my network?
2) How do I get my Windows 8 wireless adapter to show up in the Device List?
Thanks In Adance!
Solved!

I would like to chime in here too. I also have the same issue as described on an older Mac desktop. The ethernet port has failed so it connects only via the AirPort wireless. My issue is IMPORTANT because until this devices shows up on the Device List I cannot apply the Parental Controls. Joining Orloldman for an answer... (Thanks!)
Try the following:
1.       Disconnect the computer from the wireless network
2.       Remove wireless network profile on your computer
3.       Reboot the computer and power cycle the router
4.       Reconnect to the wireless network
5.       Check if the computer shows up on the device list.
If it is still not showing, reset and reconfigure the wireless router.

How to drag devices ontop your desktop?

How the heck do you drag your devices (flashdrives, external harddrives, and the hardrive icon) onto the desktop? I can only find these things in the finder.
It always worked like this for the older macbooks and also the imacs.
I have a macbook pro Lion by the way.
Someone please help.

Click a clear space on your Desktop. You should see "Finder" top left side of the screen next to the Apple icon.
Click Finder > Preferences then select the General tab.
