OS 10.9 Finder sidebar suddenly does not displaying proper contents

OS 10.9 Finder sidebar suddenly does not display most items; only shows couple items I don't even want there.  Can change what shows in first finder window but sidebar not responding to "Preference" changes.  Screen shot is what it shows now. I downloaded a Yahoo widget and their widget player app today, could that cause this?

I did force quite finder--> no effect.
Finder uaed to list in "sidebar" each of the main folders in HD i.e Documents, Pictues, Downloads, Movies, Applications...(I get same window contents open if click on HD icon  as when clikc on Finder). Now none of that.
Just now went back into preferences and unchecked everything in sidebar section. If I check for it to just show HD then everuything does show up but several windows to the right and HD icon is all that shows in sidebar but only if I first then click on (in order across the open windows: Users then geoffreylevens1 (system name).
If recheck items they do NOT show up in sidebar.  See attached

  • TS3297 ITunes for IOS does not display any content in the iTunes store

    iTunes for IOS does not display any content in any section (other than Genius tab).
    NB: I am signed in with my Apple ID & have an Internet connection.
    On selecting say the "Music" tab the display briefly say's "Loading ...", but nothing displays, just a white screen.
    I have tried signing out of iTunes & re-setting the iPad, but this does not fix the problem.

  • Finder in Yosemite does not display files

    since i upgraded to Yosemite i have been having a problem with finder displaying files.  if i save a new file to my desktop it does not display until i logout and log back in.  when i open any folder other than my desktop nothing is displayed.  i just get a spinning wheel in the bottom right corner.  if i list the folder in terminal all the files are displayed.  i did not have any these issues with mavericks.

    I'm getting the same result - both with 10.10 and with 10.10.1 Beta.   The finder will display the main HD root, but nothing under it - except the Desktop.  New files on the desktop require a log out-in cycle to appear.
    Other apps that normaly have file system access also will not show second level files.  Launchpad only shows "Loading Applications", so it looks to also not be able to access the apps directory.
    Other drives do not have this problem - only the main system HD. 
    The dock also seems to lock up quite often...

  • File Does Not Have Proper Content

    Hello,
    I'm working on rebuilding a project file after some knucklehead at work deleted many of the files in the project (don't worry, the person is still alive).
    After re-transcoding and re-synching all the files (interviews, to be precise), most of them have been able to be re-linked fine, even when the attributes of the clip have changed slightly.  One of them, however, is being grumpy
    When I try to reconnect it to the file, it says:
    "The file does not have the proper content to reconnect to 'clip name' at timecode x in sequence y."
    Is there any way to work around this?  I don't understand why all the other clips, some of which changed much more between their original versions and the new ones I've made, were able to be relinked when this one refuses.
    Any thoughts?
    Cheers,
    BWP

    You may have to simply reimport and cut the material into the sequence.
    This may be faster than trying to finesse a reconnect.

  • Mail Program does not display the content of some AOL emails

    I have an AOL email address but access my email account through the Mail program (ver 2.1). I am using both a Powerbook G4 and an iMac G5 (OSX 10.4.8) and have the same problem with both machines. When I try to read many (approx. a fifth) of my emails in Mail, I get the following (or something similar):
    Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------040506000506030104030008"
    If I log on to the AOL server directly, I can read the email or download the attachment. Any way to fix this problem short of ditching AOL?

    I have exactly the same problem, except the frequency of occurrence is much lower -- maybe one in 50 to 100 emails delivered from my AOL account does this. I don't know the root cause or if the app or the server is at fault, but the immediate cause is Mail either doesn't receive or doesn't properly process the message's headers, including the MIME 'boundary' declaration necessary to convert the raw message stream into its multiple parts, so it treats the whole thing as one long plain text message.
    Standard fixes like rebuilding the mailbox or reindexing have no effect since the flaw is carried into the emlx file that stores the message. In some cases, I have been able to edit the file with a text editor to preserve some message part(s), but this is not something you should try without knowledge of MIME standards or emlx file structure.

  • Multiline table container element does not display the contents

    Hi Guys,
    I am sending an email from the workflow. The workflow has few steps and in one of the steps the the workflow brings in few lines of text. This text is then stored in a multiline container element in the workflow.
    later in the workflow i am sending an email and this sendmail step is using the multiline containter. So in the body of the email i have used the container as shown below
    Your expense for the trip &TRIPEXP.TRIPNUMBER& has been rejected.
    The Reason for rejection(s) mentioned below:
    &CATSXT_LONGTEXT_ITAB##&
    Please change and submit again.
    However when i recieve the email i dont see any text. But when i look at the workflow log and check the contents of this table under the workflow container elements it has the data in it.
    Not sure where i am going wrong. I have checked the bindings and they are fine.

    Thanks Arghadip,
    Yes that was the missing link.
    One question:
    When i use sendmail step and use the variable drop down box i can see the workflow container elements. So why do i need the same container element in the sendmail setp? I just now created same element in the sendmail task. When i am able to access the workflow container elements in the send mail step then why there is a need to create a same container element in the send mail step and then do the binding for it to work?

  • Does not display all content after first loading of page

    Hello all,
    I am having quite strange problem which is hard for me to figure out.
    I have 8 buttons on my web site. Each button will display different content. My page is: www.itconnect.co.nz
    When you go to my page first time, by default "Design & Software" button will be active. Here when you look on first photo you can see that the bottom part is missing - logos.
    However when i click again on "Design & Software" button the missing content will appear.
    What could be the problem ?
    Thank you to everyone who would like to help.

    I am little confused as i don't use flash - only for the Captcha.
    The way i did is:
    <div class="sp">
        <div class="tabs">
                    <span class="repairs">Repairs</span><span class="design">Design & Software</span>
                   <span class="security">Security</span><span class="networking">Home Networking</span>

                    <span class="maintenance">Maintenance</span><span class="remote">Remote Support</span>
          </div>
          <div class="panel_container">
                    <div class="panels">
                                    <div class="panel repairs">
                                                    <div class="panel_content">                       
                                                                    HERE GOEST THE CONTENT
                                                     </div>
                                    </div>
    <div class="panel design">
                                    <div class="panel_content">

                                                    </div>   
                                    </div>
                                    AND SO ON FOR THE OTHER PANELS
                        </div>
    </div>
    </div>
    For my CSS I have:
    .sp {
                    width: 960px;
                    position: absolute;
                    margin-top: 0px;
                    margin-right: 0px;
                    margin-bottom: 10px;
                    margin-left: 0px;
    .sp .tabs {
                    width: 41%;
                    float: left;
                    height: 450px;
                    display: table-column;
    .sp .panel_container {
                    width: 58%;
                    float: right;
                    overflow: hidden;
                    position: relative;
    And for the animation I use JavaScript.
    Thanks in advance

  • Laptop does not display web content - Will display temporarily then white screen

    When browsing using IE8, It displays the home page then it goes white. When I hit the refresh button, it will display the web content momentarily then the white screen again. I tried installing different web browsers, FIrefox and Chrome. FIrefox won't start. It errors out. Chrome will display white page and I also get the Aw Snap error message. I reinstalled Original windows vista OS using original reinstall disks. Same thing, I installed windows 7 home premium and same result. Any ideas on what could be causing this? I have never seen this type of behavior. I am currently reinstalling windows 7 home premium and am updating all service packs and patches, which I have done previously. Any ideas on trying to solve this problem would be very welcomed.

    I do have 2 separate interenet connections. Both are broadband cable connections. One I used using the built in wireless and the other with the ethernet cable. I disabled the wireless once I connected using the ethernet, Same results on both. The wierd thing is now after all of the updates have completed installing, instead of a white screen, now it is a black screen. I have hooked up many PCs with both internet connection and never had this problem. Thanks for your response.

  • Pdf does not display in Nightly

    In Mozilla Nightly I only have one add-on - Flash. Whenever I try to view a pdf it does not display the content. I cannot find an add-on.

    You can check the value of the pdfjs.disabled pref on the <b>about:config</b> page to make sure the build-in PDF viewer is enabled.

  • Finder does not display my external drives as devices

    When connecting my Kindle 2 to my imac (Lion), the kindle does not come up in Finder as an external device.  However, I know it's there because when I pull up Disk Utility, there it is as a 3.24 GB Kindle Internal Storage Device. 
    As a matter of fact, none of my external drives show...I have a MyBook and anothers external hard drive connected for backups (all show in DU as well). 
    I checked Preferences in Finder and Hard Disks and External Disks are both checked to "Show these items on sidebar" but do not display.
    What am I missing here?
    Thanks,

    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.)

  • I just had to reformat the external hard drive that houses my iPhoto library, then restore it from a backup. Now Time Machine is telling me my backup hard drive suddenly does not have the space to complete a backup. I also noticed when I go in to Time Mac

    I just had to reformat the external hard drive that houses my iPhoto library, then restore it from a backup. Now Time Machine is telling me my backup hard drive suddenly does not have the space to complete a backup. I also noticed when I go in to Time Machine, there are only about 5 backups recorded on the ext. hard drive. There were many more before. Any idea what happened and if I have to buy a new back up hard drive?

    Hallo  Kieth ,
    I am not quite ready to restore the full iphoto library , as I have days of work re - imputting titles,descriptions and enhancement . I hope that your suggestion works , as I use my Macbook basically to work with digital photography. Through time , I will need to delete my library to recover more disc space and I would hate to have to spend more time re - imputting titles and descriptions all over again .
    Thanks for your interest and advice.
    regards  - Alan

  • "Find my iPhone does not recognize New iPhone 5

    I use my AppleID to "Find my iPhone" successfully on iPhone 4, iPhone4S, iPad, iMac. All show up. New iPhone5 iOS 6.0.2 uses same AppleID in the General iCloud settings, Contacts,email,photostream,safari bookmarks,reminders,notes, are all synced fine. I can even see how much storage is available in my iCloud account on the new iPhone5.  The Problem is that "Find my iPhone" does not recognize the new iPhone 5. Yes location services is turned on. The iPhone5 can find its location in the map app, can find all other devices in "Find my iPhone" just not itself in "Find my iPhone" I tried a hard reset.
    ANY IDEAS?

    How about when the passcode is correct but not recognized?
    I was prompted to enter a password to unlock the device when I downloaded IOS 7 several months ago.
    Entered the password every single day for months, never a problem.
    Yesterday I attempted to download the most recent IOS version and I was asked for a passcode before I could do that (my phone was unlocked). Online I found out the passcode is the unlocking password. It did not work and I was unable to use the phone for several minutes after 5 attempts. I just stored the phone and when home I charged it overnight.
    This morning I unlocked the phone as usual  and used it without a problem for emails, phone calls. etc.. Now, after not having used it for a while, I am asked for the passcode to unlock it as usual, and although I am sure I entered the right code, it is not recognized. I am unable to unlock my phone, although I have done it for months.
    This is not a case of forgotten passcode! And I see it has happened to many others that use 4s and 5s iphones.
    i could attempt the iTune connection fix, but it troubles me that all solutions are presented for forgotten pascodes, and in many cases actually the passcodes are not recognized. Which means, it will keep happening unless Apple offers a solution.
