My Finder Sidebar Won't Resize

My finder window's sidebar appears to be locked and I cannot resize it.  I've read that when putting my mouse in the line between the sidebar and the files area to the right it should change to a bar cursor that I can then use to resize the sidebar.  But the cursor never changes when I do this so I cannot resize the sidebar.  Any suggestions to re-enable this?

If you can't get this to happen...EDIT: Well it did not include the cursor as a cross in the image for forget the screenshot.
Then go to Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences trash these files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then, restart, or log out and in again.
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)

  • Trashed an app, but app icon in Finder sidebar won't "leave"

    I downloaded an application called Error Codes; thought it would help me understand some of the error codes that pop up during iTunes downloads.  Wasn't helpful; decided to trash it.  The app, of coursre, was in the applications folder; I had its icon in the Finder sidebar too. I trashed the app, but I can't get rid of the sidebar icon; can't even click on it.  Tried dragging it out, it just flies back to it's spot.  How do I get rid of it?

    Try holding down the command key when dragging it out of the sidebar. A "poof" should appear, indicating that when you let go it will vanish (poof!).

  • Untitled cd now appears in my finder sidebar - won't delete

    hi, all About 20mins ago a shortcut appeared in my Finder sidebar, for something called Untitled CD. Instead of having an eject button next to it, like an actual cd would have, this has a black and yellow wheel next to it. This is of particular annoyance to me, as i am now unable to burn any CD's. Instead a message pops up saying burn is currently in use by another program. I have tried everything to delete it, but it just wont go! Whats more interesting is that I have a macbook air, and the icon appears even when my external dvd drive isn't plugged in.

    You have to hold down command, and drag it iut of the sidebar.

  • Finder window won't resize after switching spaces

    I've got my mbp set up with 12 spaces and designate apps to particular spaces.
    When I open a new finder window in space 2, I can move it and resize it no problem.
    If I then switch to another space and then switch back to space 2, I can't resize the finder window. I can still move it, but just can't resize it.
    Does anyone know a way around this bug?
    Thanks!

    I can also confirm this bug.  Finder windows seem to "forget" where they are on the screen.  This is very clear when renaming a file: the highlighted, editable filename text shows up some seemingly random distance from the filename displayed in the Finder window.
    This can also be seen when using Quick Look.  The file zooms to the full Quick Look preview not from the file icon, but from some random point on the screen.
    Same goes for dragging and dropping.  For example, if you want to drag a file into an existing folder, you have to hover some distance from the actual folder, the same distance you see when you rename a file or use Quick Look.  The Finder window doesn't know its position on the screen after using Spaces or Expose.

  • How do I restore missing Finder sidebar?

    My Finder sidebar won't show Home, Desktop, Applications, All My Files -- even though they are checked in Finder Preferences.
    I tried three suggestions I spotted in the forums, but didn't fix: 
    1. Disk utility repairs
    2. Deleting 'com.apple.sidebarlists.plist'  (file not in Library)
    3. View - show sidebar.
    I have MBA, 1.6GHz, 4GB, v10.7.4
    Any suggestions?

    Hi Michael,
    I had the same problem and solved it a very easy way. Infact I felt pretty silly. Haha hopefully this solves your problem too.
    Close all finder windows so when you click the finder icon it opens a new finder window, one with no sidebar. Then go View>Show Toolbar 
    Then once the toolbar is enabled, the view/hide sidebar toggle becomes activated in that same menu.
    Good Luck! Let me know if that fixed it.

  • Lost icons in finder sidebar, and folders that won't go away

    I've somehow lost the icons for documents, movies, music and pictures in the finder sidebar...and i dragged some folders to the sidebar to use temporarily but they keep reappearing even after i've trashed them...is there a way to reset my sidebar to the default (and tehn i will hope that solves both problems)? Thanks!

    Hi AYS,
    Navigate to ~(yourhome)/library/preferences and trash these two files:
    com.apple.finder.plist
    com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
    Then log out and back in again. Or restart.
    (You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)

  • Mavericks Finder Sidebar Not Keeping Network Links

    I'm having an issue after upgrading to Mavericks. Version is 10.9.3 with all recent updates installed. When I drag a server folder (create a link) to the finder sidebar under favorites, the folder links randomly vanish and I have to keep re-adding them. This is a huge productivity bottleneck because I link all my current projects I'm working on there for ease of access. I'll have anywhere from 20 projects at a time linked there. It worked fine in Mountain Lion. They were always there and when clicking on them at boot, they would open right up and reconnect to the server. Now, sometimes I'll click on them and they will disappear if not manually connected to the server first.
    Things I've tried thus far...
    1. Delete the .plist files for Sidebar and Finder and restart.
    2. Repair permissions.
    3. Add server and folder links to login startup items (When restarting they have a yellow exclamation point by them and are still not in the sidebar)
    None of these have worked. Any ideas or help on this situation would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac" is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.

  • FINDER - Sidebar Font Size

    FINDER - Sidebar Font Size
    I'm using Mac OS X v10.5.8 & have been trying to find a way to I increase the font size in the sidebar of FINDER.
    Has this actually been fixed or is there a 3rd party app that will allow me to do this much like in mail! but for FINDER!
    I've noticed this has been asked many times but never officially answered.
    thank you in Advance.

    While those font sizes appear to be fixed, and perhaps there is a way to get into
    the system via Terminal or some other super-user access, an easy utility to do so
    does not appear to be readily available. If one is available, this feature is under
    advertised or a sub-note hidden within.
    I'd just been looking into 'Path Finder' by Cocatech, I did not see a reference to
    this Sidebar Font size issue; yet did read into their Forums page to note a post
    there asking about this situation. Since Path Finder is a retail product and adds
    a new user Finder with extra capabilities (30 day demo) license is about $40.
    No mention about their adding this; however many other controls are added.
    (A Leopard 10.5 & Snow Leopard 10.6 version, plus older v. Tiger 10.4 appear.)
    While their screen casts of features were a bit interesting to watch (in QT .mov)
    http://cocoatech.com/screencasts - the specific ability to resize Finder sidebar is
    not mentioned; although their custom Path Finder application has more controls.
    Note they say their app can 'replace Finder' - so maybe they will offer their own fix.
    So, this probably isn't a direct answer to the pending question or a fix.
    Since I haven't had much time or access to Snow Leopard, I've no idea
    if the newer system version has a control to adjust Finder's Sidebar Font.
    I rarely use the Finder window within the desktop 'finder' and have avoided it;
    that isn't something I'd found useful, though something similar has existed in
    many Mac OS systems in some form, guise, or other applicable function.
    In fact the wider busy finder/folder windows are more distracting than ever
    starting in Leopard 10.5; so, that's more wasted screen space to try to ignore.
    {Sure, I can say that while realizing the other kinds of access this may provide
    the seasoned user who is already used to tiny words & extra feature functions.}
    Not sure if tweaks in tools such as Titanium Software - OnyX may offer any
    type of interface customization in this area. This can change a few things,
    I've used this application since it was first available, in earlier v. OS X 10.x
    while not being all that interested in making a mess of what has worked well.
    Perhaps someone with command line or Terminal experience has already
    blazed a trail into this jungle, and left some great bread crumbs to follow.
    Maybe a nice Script has come from surveying & marking the path...?

  • How do I get the icons to display in the finder sidebar?

    For some odd reason, the icons in the finder sidebar on my MacBook Pro are not displaying (that means that they are not there at all, not just grey).
    I have already deleted the plist file and restarted to no effect.  any suggestions out there?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Why do we get a number next to a shared device in finder sidebar?

    Does anyone know how to stop the appearance of a number next to a shared device number in the Finder sidebar window?
    OSX Yosemite, version 10.10.2
    Thanks.

    There are several possible causes for this behavior.
    1. Two (or more) computers on the local network have the same Bonjour name, such as "X's-MacBook-Pro.local". Resolve the name conflict by renaming one or more of them in the Sharing preference pane.
    2. You have two simultaneous connections to the same local network: probably Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If applicable, disconnect the Ethernet cable or turn off Wi-Fi.
    3. A Mac wakes from sleep due to network traffic. This is a bug in OS X that may only affect some models. You can avoid it as follows:
    Open the Energy Saver pane in System Preferences and unlock the settings, if necessary. Select the Power Adapter  tab, if there is one. Uncheck the box marked
              Wake for Wi-Fi network access
    if it's checked.
    4. A device that gets its network address from the router wakes from sleep, and the address it was using before has been assigned to another device.
    5. A third-party wireless router has incompatible settings or firmware. In that case, refer to the manufacturer or ISP for support. Restarting the router may help, temporarily.
    6. If the router is an Apple device, it may need to be restarted.
    7. A third-party Bonjour device on the network is malfunctioning. Finding out which is a process of elimination.
    8. There is more than one DHCP server on the network. Typically, there would be two or more wireless access points configured to act as routers.
    9. See this support article.
    10. Back up all data. Make notes of your settings in the Network preference pane.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "SystemConfiguration" selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password.
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. You will need to recreate the network settings.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • How to persist change in finder sidebar width?

    Hello guys, I want to persist change in finder sidebar width once I change it. Now what happens is that I drag to resize then go to view->show view options->Use as defaults but next time I create a new folder, it resizes to wrong setting again. I even tried resizing by holding option but no result. How can I persist this change in width
    This is what it looks like when new folder is created:
    but I want it to be like this each time:
    How can I achieve this?
    Thank you

    Hi kashif789us,
    Thanks for the question.   For most applications, when you resize a window, you need to quit the app and relaunch it for the changes to take affect.   The Finder app is a little different, since you can't quit it.
    I would recommend that you make the change to the sidebar width, then choose Force Quit from the Apple menu.  You will be given the option to relaunch the Finder app.  When you do, choose File > New Finder Window.   You should see the resized sidebar in the new window.  When you restart your Mac, this same window should persist.

  • Accidently removed "applications" from finder sidebar

    I thought it would be a cool idea to drag my applications folder from my finder sidebar into my dock for easy access. But when I tried to drag it in I actually removed it by mistake (I got the poof of smoke.) How can I get it back? I tried to edit-undo, but it won't let me. Thanks.

    Nevermind I figured it out. I used spotlight and then dragged the folder back in. Thanks anyway
