Lost Network Tab in Finder Window

I seem to have somehow moved the Network tab out of my finder window and now it is gone. How can I get this back?
Thanks!!

Network drives open finder windows at every login?

I just created a network drive and set it up so that when I log into my machine it should connect/mount the network drive. However, now every time I log in it opens a finder window to that drive. Mavericks appears to do the same thing on my macbook. Just curious if there are any solutions to stop this from happening but still mount the drive. I did find some older suggestions to fix the issue but none of them so far have worked.
Thanks

nevermind, fixed itself, i guess

Lost HD image in Finder window

I've lost a the image of my Hard Drive in the upper left hand corner of my finder window and don't know how to get it back. I must have inadvertantly made it go poof one day. It does show up when I open Disk Utility, but I can't figure out what to do from there, if anything, and I'm afraid to do anything else from fear of erasing or restoring something I don't want to.
What's the trick? TIA
Michael

Hi Micheal,
Try this...
Finder>Preferences>Sidebar, clck on Hard Disks.
If that fails, simply drag the Desktop icon for the HD to the sidebar.
PS. It's easy to drag those icons off to the left and have them go poof!

That's what happens in QuickSilver and in my finder. It isn't in my name tab.

Network tab shows up as removable Volume

Hi,
For some odd reason, on my Powerbook G4, the network tab in Finder windows, shows up as a Removable Volume. That is, with the "remove" triangle, next to it. I also can't access the Network Window directly from the "Go" menu in the Finder.
Both symptoms disappear when I "Force Restart" the Finder. However they appear again when I start up the Powerbook.
Any ideas as how to fix this?

Ian,
Have you tried re-assigning the drive letter to a higher letter. I have ten drives on my system which would confuse the ipod so I had to use a letter above "M".

Finder Window & File Sharing

Hi,
Every time someone sends me a file using iChat, when the file is done downloading to my desktop a finder window automatically opens. Is there a preference or a way to make it so the finder window does not open when it is done downloading?
Thanks,
paul

Thanks for replying to my post.
I agree. I think that is just the way it works. It is the same as when I connect to another computer on my local network and the finder window automatically pops open.

A weird question on opening a new finder window

this is not a big deal, but it really bugs me. when you have a finder window open and do apple-N to get a new one, it puts the new one right on top of the one already open. this is totally stupid. 99% of the time when i open a new window it's because i want to drag a file from one location to another, in which case i have to first move the new window. is there some way you can have it put new windows someplace else other than right on top of the current one?
and please, please, please dear apple, give us tabs in finder windows like in safari. i keep expecting it to happen in each new system upgrade, and it keeps never happening.

In addition to the excellent suggestions regarding the Sidebar offered earlier, you might consider creating an AppleScript and adding it to your Finder window's toolbar. Once added to the toolbar, the script would serve as a button, which, when clicked on, would open a fully viewable new Finder window positioned above and slightly to the left of the existing Finder window. The existing Finder window would be repositioned if necessary and set to a size matching the dimensions of the new window.
The example scripts below were created with the assumption that your Home folder's Finder window opens when you press ⌘N. These scripts can be modified so that another window is opened instead by replacing the word "home" where it appears in the script with "desktop" or "documents" or "applications" etc. To open the "Computer" window use the command *make new Finder window* exclusively. Paths to non system-level folders, or user-created folders, can be specified by using an *open "Macintosh HD:path:to:folder"* command.
Copy and then paste either block of code below into your AppleScript Script Editor (Applications > AppleScript > Script Editor). From the Script Editor's File menu choose Save As > File Format: application, and leave the Options unchecked.
To add the button to your Finder window's toolbar, simply open any Finder window and drag the saved AppleScript icon to a convenient location on the toolbar. Let go of your mouse when you see the round green "+" indicator.
+This script might work best with a monitor set to a minimum 1024 x 768 screen resolution:+
*tell application "Finder"*
activate
*make new Finder window to (path to home folder)*
*set the bounds of window 1 to {70, 59, 955, 399}*
*set the bounds of window 2 to {100, 403, 985, 743}*
*activate window 2*
*end tell*
+This version would be more suitable for a monitor set to 800 x 600 screen resolution:+
*tell application "Finder"*
activate
*make new Finder window to (path to home folder)*
*set the bounds of window 1 to {85, 47, 715, 317}*
*set the bounds of window 2 to {115, 320, 745, 595}*
*activate window 2*
*end tell*
Good luck.

Help - lost icons in finder window

Hi, Somehow i lost some icons, and i can't get them back. When I click on the HD icon, i get the finder window. Listed are: network, MacHD - a line, then: Desktop, User Icon, Applications, Pictures, and Favorites. I almost positive I also had a Music and Utilities icon in there. Last night i had some problems with my mouse and several times heard and saw the famous "cloud" and "swoosh disappear sound". After, I had fewer icons in the finder. Can someone verify the icons that should be there, and how do I get them back?
Thanks...

Here is what Mac Help has to say about sidebar items:
To customize the list of basic sidebar items, choose Finder > Preferences and click Sidebar. Select the checkbox next to items you want to show.
To add a personal item, drag it to the lower part of the sidebar. You cannot add items to the upper section.
To remove an item, drag its icon out of the sidebar.
Drag items up or down in the sidebar to organize them.
To change the width of the sidebar, drag the divider bar beside it. You can show just the icons or hide it completely.
To eject a disk or disconnect from a volume, click the eject icon next to the item in the upper part of the sidebar.
So, you should be able to drag items of your choice into the sidebar.

Dozens of open tabs lost! Synced them, reinstalled Windows and Firefox, set up Sync, looked up "tabs on other devices" in history - Only a third or so listed.

Dozens of open tabs lost! Synced them, reinstalled Windows and Firefox, set up Sync, looked up "tabs on other devices" in history -> Only a third or so listed.
Usually, when I reinstall Windows, I manually backup my Firefox bookmarks and open tabs, but because Sync has worked perfectly for me in the past, I didn't do it this time. I backed up all my other files and settings and whatnot from the rest of my system, then in Firefox I hit the Sync button (put in on the GUI so I see if it's syncing or done) for the last time, waited until the green rotating dot was gone, closed Firefox, shut down the system, formatted the drive and reinstalled Windows and Firefox. After setting up Sync I waited a while to make sure everything is on my system.
Then I wanted to have all the tabs and windows open as I had on the old system, so I went to the history and "tabs on other devices". I could already see from the small size of the list, that tabs were missing. I went through all of them, opened them and sorted them into windows.
-> Maybe about two thirds of the tabs I had open on my old system are gone!
Not just new tabs that might not have been synced (although the button showed sync was complete), but also old tabs (from weeks ago) that must have been synced before. Actually maybe especially or even only the old ones are lost. And the lost tabs are not just from one of the open windows, but from several.
What can I do to recover my lost tabs?
They contain important websites that I didn't bookmark yet, articles that I wanted to read, windows with dozens of tabs on a topic that I did some research for and stuff like that.
What does the green circle mean? Does it indicate that the sync is complete (to the Firefox servers) or just that the changes have been saved locally and set up for some next scheduled sync with the Firefox servers?
Further info:
I always run the newest stable release of Firefox (v19 on both systems). Old system was Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation, new system is Windows 8 Pro. My used Sync quota is about 10 MB. I had 4 Firefox windows open with different amount of tabs in each of them, from 10 to maybe 80 with an overall amount of 150-200. Most of them weren't loaded. Firefox start is set to "load last session" and tabs are set to "load when selected". Memory usage 500 MB - 1 GB.

I have most of the items bookmarked. Having 200 - 300 tabs open saves time, since I don't have to go to the bookmarks, if the tabs are already open. One problem has been crashes, but as long as I can restore a previous session, I can still get to the data. I had quite a few tabs open when I was planning to purchase a new computer. I also follow the stock market, and the weather. I was also looking at various VIrtual Private Networking (VPN) sites. At one time, I probably had 20 - 50 tabs open, just for those. I did bookmark a few, but unfortunately lost the VPN tabs, when Firefox crashed. Even if I don`t go to a particular group of tabs very often, leaving it open is faster, especially since I will know where they are. I often put the computer in standby mode, rather than shutting it off, especially if I will remain in the same location.

Can I save the configuration of a tabbed finder window?

So I've spent five minutes organising a finder window with tabs giving me access to all my most useful folders and am thinking that I really like this new tabbed finder business. I then close the finder window and when I then open a new finder window, it has reverted back to a single tab and I have lost my nice tabbed arrangement.
Is there anyway to save the arrangement of a tabbed finder window so that it opens like that by default?
Thanks

Oke. Checked the user credentials again and now i got a configuration backup.
So no problem!
Cheers,
Erwin

Gethostbyname can't find Windows hosts on network?

Hi,
(OS X 10.4.8 + all latest updates)
Should gethostbyname be able to resolve Windows host names?
I'm writing a command line tool that uses gethostbyname - internet hosts get resolved e.g. www.apple.com, as do local Mac hosts. But gethostbyname can't find Windows hosts. Ping and other network utilities also have the same problem, so I 'm guessing it's not just me!
I have Windows Sharing turned on, and I can mount Windows shares using the host name.
Am I expecting too much here? Or is there some configuration I'm just not setting somewhere?
Thanks for any help.

Yes - it's pretty easy - just have to enter a domain name and DNS server IP address in the DHCP configuration...
From page 40 of http://www.apple.com/server/pdfs/Network_Services.pdf
<pre>If you are using Mac OS X Server as your DHCP Server:
1 In Server Settings, click the Network tab, click DHCP/NetBoot, and choose Configure
DHCP/NetBoot.
2 On the Subnet tab, select the subnet on the built-in Ethernet port and click Edit.
3 In the General tab, enter the following information:
Start: 10.0.1.3
End: 10.0.1.254
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Router: 10.0.1.1
4 Click the DNS tab and enter the following information:
Default Domain: example.com
DNS Servers: 10.0.1.2
5 Click the Save button and log out of Server Settings. </pre>

Multiple windows open in safari when click on web site. Also can't change/edit DNS servers or any other changes in advance window of network tab

osx - mavericks
multiple windows open in safari when click on web site. Also can't change/edit DNS servers or any other changes in advance window of network tab.
Basically every time i click on website other windows open and get redirected to other websites selling something (same as that mackeeper site which seems to open often) Really ***** as in just a few minutes on the web I have many windows open and many are the same pages. Can't make changes in the advanced tab of network as options are greyed out and the + & - symbols do nothing when clicked. Hope there is an easy answer as surfing net is really sucking right now

I hope to get some more info on a similar situation.
I have a new Mac Pro, less than 2 months old. OSX 10.5 updated to 10.5.2. Quicktime updated too. When I use the Desktop and Screen Saver system pref, I can easily select and use one of the Apple supplied desktop pictures as a desktop background.
But I wish to use a Photo from an iPhoto (iLife 08) folder / album as the desktop background. I can find all the albums, I can see all the icons for the pictures, I can select an iconed pciture and it appears in the top left of the preference pane (showing the effect of "fit to window" or "stretch to fit", etc). But all I get is a pale blue screen (which might be my default desktop colour). I don't get any of my iPhoto album pics to appear as a dektop background.
There is one minor note on this, I don't keep the pictures in my iPhoto Library, I just reference them, and the originals are on a different internal disk.
I've tried the suggestions above, trashing finder and desktop plists, killall Finder, etc. restart. Nothing gets it working again. It did work originally, for most of the time I've had the Mac Pro, then I changed the dektop to an Apple supplied picture of Earth.
This affects both an Admin, and a standard user. The photos (and enclosing folders) are read / writable by the admin user, and readable by the Standard user. Both users can easily access the photos in their iPhoto. They open the original files on the second internal drive, and performing a right click - Show File shows the original file as expected. I've even emptied the iPhoto library completely and rebuilt it, just in case there was an issue here.
Any ideas ? or anyone else seen this ? I don't really want to start reformatting disks and reinstalling the OS, but any suggestions short of this are extremely welcome.

Since the 4.0.1 update the first Firefox window I open refuses to open tabs, only new windows, and all refuse to show my bookmarks toolbar. All Sync settings and account seem lost.

Since the update the first Firefox window I open refuses to open tabs, only new windows, and all refuse to show my bookmarks toolbar. All Sync settings and account seem lost.

G'day again, I've also lost the option of a 'Stop loading' or 'Refresh' button.

Is there a way to save Finder windows with open tabs in Mavericks?

I have Finder windows with multiple tabs that I would like to be able to close, if necessary, and reopen with the same tabs open. Is that possible? How?

Thanks, but that doesn't do what I want. I would like to be able to somehow save a combination of tabs so I could close it (while keeping the Finder open) and then reopen it. I think the only way to effectively do what I want is to minimize the window instead of closing it.
Thanks again for your response.
With peace,
Henry
