Is there a folder limit in the sidebar of a finder window?

Is there a limit to the number of folders one can put in the sidebar of a finder window? For example, I am supportng a user that currently has 47 folders in the sidebar, and would like to add more, but she can only insert them at a certain point in the list (after this point the finder will just not allow you to add anything to the sidebar). If a folder is inserted, other folders don't disappear, they just get moved down, which is why I'm thinking it's not a hard limit. The point at which the finder won't insert new items is fairly random as well, but above this point is never a problem.
Is there a way around this? IS it a pref problem? I didn't try moving her prefs file(s) because she has an important function at my company and can't afford much downtime.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi jkrish,
Based on my research, a table is limited by available client and server memory (or browser page size constraints) theoretically. If you are on a 32-bit machine, the worker process that is processing this has less than 2 gigabytes of memory to work with,
probably closer to 1 gigabyte when you factor in kernel mode memory. If you are going to be serving up large reports like this, you probably need a 64-bit setup with at least 4 gigs of memory or more on the box. This setup will allow the worker process to
allocate more than 2 gigs of usable memory to complete these large requests without issue.
Furthermore, adding page breaks can improve the performance of published reports because only the items on each page have to be processed as you view the report. So in order to reduce the report process time, I suggest that you can try to add page break.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Why can't I get any devices to show in the sidebar of a finder window?

Until recently I had devices (hard drives, DVD's, disk images, etc show up under devices in the sidebar of a finder window. Now none of these items show up. In Finder Preferences>Sidebar>Devices I nave all 4 checked (Bob's Mac Pro, Hard disks, External disks and CDs, DVDs and iPods). I tried rebooting. I tried unchecking the 4 boxes and rechecking them to no avail. It's annoying that I have to find an icon on the desktop to open these items. Any suggestions?
This is a Mac Pro running 10.9.5.

Do a backup.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist and com.apple.sidebarlists.plist. Move the .plists to your desktop.
Re-launch Finder by restarting the computer and test. If it works okay, delete the plists from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plists to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.

Is there a size limit for the txt files to be viewed in the ipod ?

when I pass a text file (.txt) in the notes folder, then I try to see it on my ipod nano, I can see just a part of it, the beginning. Is there a size limit for the .txt files to be viewed in the ipod nano? How to increase it?

4kByte file size, 1000 notes max.

Is there a recommended limit on the number of custom sections and the cells per table so that there are no performance issues with the UI?

Is there a recommended limit on the number of custom sections and the cells per table so that there are no performance issues with the UI?

Thanks Kelly,
The answers would be the following:
1200 cells per custom section (NEW COUNT), and up to 30 custom sections per spec.
Assuming all will be populated, and this would apply to all final material specs in the system which could be ~25% of all material specs.
The cells will be numeric, free text, drop downs, and some calculated numeric.
Are we reaching the limits for UI performance?
Thanks

Is there a size limit on the iPod for the song database file ?

I have been running into the same issue for the last 2 weeks: Once I exceed 110 GB on my iPod Classic 160 GB, iTunes is no longer able to update the database file on the iPod.
When clicking (on the iPod) on Settings/About, the iPod displays the wrong number of songs. Also, the iPod is no longer able to play any songs.
Is there a size limit for the database file on the iPod ?
I am making excessive use of the 'comments' field in every song that I load to the iPod. This increases the size of the database file.
Is there a way, that I can manually update the database file on the iPod ?
Thanks for your help !

did you experience some crashing of the ipod as well? do you know how many separate items you had?

Is there a size limit of the mp4 transfer to Ipod?

Hi, i have converted a video and the size is 640x480. It worked just fine for itune and quicktime player, but when i start to transfer it to my ipod video. It declines my mp4 video and said it's different format. Again i did the same thing and converted the same video to size 320x240. This time the ipod accepted it. So i wanted to know is there a size limit to the ipod??

The maximum resolution for an MPEG-4 file is 480x480.
The maximum resolution for an H.264 file is 320x240.
From the iPod Tech Specs:
H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats

You can install 2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMMs. The maximum amount of RAM is 6 GBs. Visit DataMem or OWC to get the proper RAM at reasonable prices.

Thats a SQLite-DB? Is it possible to access and export them? I´d like to use that Db to assign thumbs to files on my NAS.

Are the thumbnails & icons stored in the .DS_Store-File?
When visible, how can I access the content stored in that file?

thank you for the info... however I'm done buying pdf readers.... I've got three now, that should suffice.
I don't think there's a problem such as you mentioned because the pages are all similar : text and drawings. Some of the pages with drawings work, other similar pages don't.
I converted with Calibre to epub format and this seems to work !!!
So good so far...
Now I need to find a conversion to pdf to allow me to use goodreader or iannotate.
Basically... the text is ok, because a conversion allows reading. So a shortcoming by Apple in my opinion. Again, all pdf's should be readable on such an expensive tool !!!

After upgrading to Firefox 8 there are no bookmarks in the sidebar when it is displayed. The bookmarks are there under the Bookmarks menu. History appears in the sidebar

There are no bookmarks in the bookmarks sidebar. The only way I can access my bookmarks is by clicking on the Bookmarks Menu. All booksmarks and folder then show up in the drop down menu - but when I go to organise them, there is nothing listed under Organise. My history will show up in the sidebar. I can't find a way to sort my bookmarks, and don't know if I can save a new bookmark.

Open or close History Sidebar --> CTRL+H 
Open or close Bookmarks Sidebar --> CTRL+B
Click the small "x" to the right of the word History or Bookmarks in the Sidebar will close that sidebar 
If the History Sidebar is open, CTRL+B will close it and open the Bookmarks Sidebar 
If the Bookmarks Sidebar is open, CTRL+H will close it and open the History Sidebar

Is there a size limit to the file I can bring in?

I have a video file that I want to add to my project. When I bring it in the whole video is not there. Is there a limit on the size of the video file?
Thanks.

Thanks for the system info, and thanks to Ed for clarifying. Sorry that I was not more clear.
As Ed says, "that isn't it," but it was worth a shot.
Now, however, we do know the cause. You have a DVD. As the .VOB files in a DVD-Video can ONLY be ~1GB in size, it is most likely that you only got part of the total tape in the .VOB that you ripped (the term for getting to the MPEG-2 file inside of a .VOB). It is very likely that the rest of the tape is on other .VOB files in the VIDEO_TS folder. This ARTICLE will give you more background into DVD-Videos and .VOB files.
As Steve (and that article) points out, many devices that burn DVD's can cause problems. Most are because they create a menuing system that is not DVD-spec. This can really mess up an editing program, when trying to work for those DVD-Videos.
There are, however, freeware programs that will both rip the MPEG-2 AV file from the .VOB's and will also "stitch" them together into one MPEG-2 file. I believe that the FAQ has the step-by-step process, including suggestions for other software to use. I'll post a link, when I have a second to go and search for it. [Edit] Steve posted the link to the FAQ in this thread already.
That said, If you have the VHS tape, the best method for getting that analog material into an editing program, like PrE, is to do an A-D Capture from the tape and bypass the DVD all together. It will be easier to edit, there will be no "stitching" of the VOB's and you also will have much higher quality, than from the heavily compressed MPEG-2 inside the VOB's. For that, one only needs the VHS deck, that you already have (I have a Panasonic VHS - DVD unit, but only use the DVD portion to archive from the VHS tapes - not to edit from), and an A-D bridge, like the Grass Valley/Canopus AD-110. It comes with software to do the Capture and you just save that Captured file as a DV-AVI Type II w/48KHz 16-bit Audio. That is the perfect format to edit in PrE.
Hope that this helps, and good luck,
Hunt
