Making a folder stay in the sidebar.

I have a folder that i want to stick in the sidebar along with the music, photos, videos, and other folders. I plan on keeping some inportant files in there but when i stick it in there sometimes it will stay and sometimes it wont. Is there anyway to get it to stay for sure.

One thing that you might try is to drag the Sidebar preference file onto your desktop: /Users/your_account/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist . Then, I think that you need to restart in order for the change to take effect. If this does not help, you might as well drag your preference file from the Desktop back to where you originally took it from. If this does work, then delete the pref file on the Desktop.

  • 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,

  • Making a Webclipping stay in the portlet

    Hi all,
    Is there a way to make the content of a web clipping eg. the search box on Google, stay in the portlet instead of opening up the full browser window ?

    Hello Ravell,
    This feature -inline rendering- is currently not supported in Web Clipping version 9.0.2.6.x (and earlier).
    The next version of the PDK that is coming out just after OracleAS 10g (904) will support inline rendering.

  • Folders Won't Stay On The Sidebar In Finder Windows

    Before I went out of town 2 weeks ago, I had about 20 folders I dragged over to the finder window sidebar and they always stuck.
    I get home and they are gone. So I drag them all back over and go out of town this week and shut down the mac. On boot up, I see all the folders that I dragged over to the finder window sidebar are gone yet again? What the heck is going on? Why is it doing that? The only ones there are the basic ones that automatically show up. Can anyone help? Mountain Lion 10.8.5
    Thanks in advance....

  • How Do I Hide The Sidebar?

    When I search for a folder with spotlight the folder opens showing the sidebar. How do I change that?

    You may need to specifically visit that folder first, before the setting will "stick".
    I did this:
    * Open a new Finder window (has sidebar)
    * Browse to /Users/me/Downloads (double-clicking to actually enter that folder, not just drilling down to it in list view)
    * Click the upper-right button (removes toolbar and sidebar)
    * Close the window.
    * Activate Spotlight. Type "Downloads". Top hit is my Downloads folder. Press Return to open it.
    * The window opens, just as I closed it - no sidebar.

    Hi shldr2thewheel,
         it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
    Sincerely in need of help once again,
    Kim

  • When I click on a bookmark to open it, the bookmark (in the sidebar) does not stay highlighted. Why?

    When I open a bookmark, the bookmark title from the list in the sidebar does not stay highlighted. It used to but doesn't anymore. Do you know why? Can I change an option to get that feature back?

    Hello Donald.
    Although possibly not related to your problem, I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
    As for your issue, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
    If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

  • I cant get application fold to stay on the dock

    hui i cant get the applications folder to stay on the doc.  I know how to drag and drop but all it does is copy to desk top and not on to the dock... can you help thanks

    Place folders near the Trash can area and it will create a new "alias"
    Just make sure it doesn't go into the Trash Can.

  • Each time I reopen a folder the files get rearranged alphabetically, how do I stop this so the file arrangement in the folder stays the same?

    Each time I reopen a folder in OS X 10.8.4 the files get rearranged alphabetically, how do I stop this so the file arrangement in the folder stays the same?

    I might add that all the files are aliases. There are 40 altogether and I am aware I could create 10 sub-folders so I only have 4 aliases in each subfolder which would mean I only have to rearrange 4 aliases each time but this is still not ideal. I have been using Macs since the 1980's and up to now files have always stayed where you put them unless you selected Arrange By in the Finder View Menu.

  • Orientation of photo in folder on iMac does not match the orientation of photo in preview of the sidebar of a HP Scanjet G4050?

    The orientation on the HP Scanjet G4050 preview on the sidebar is Vertical and when it gets saved to the folder on the iMac is Horizontal.  This causes great distortion of the photo and renders them unusable.

  • How can I increase the time deleted emails stay in the trash folder?

    Sometimes I find that I need to refer back to an email that was deleted. Right now the emails are dumped from the trash folder very quickly. I would like to let the deleted emails stay in the trash folder for a much longer period of time.

    Is this on Comcast email? Another email site?
    Usually this is set in the options for the site, and not in Firefox itself.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
