Problem with Sidebar
My sidebar (in any finder window) shows two sets of icons for everything listed. I have even seen on some occasions it have as many as three sets.
I have tried to drag them out and then replace them, but it doubles up after a restart. I also trashed the com.apple.sidebarlists.plist, but again after a second restart it shows two sets. I know it isn't that big of a problem, but it is rather annoying.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Still never found a permeant solution for this problem. It only happens when I reboot, so my fix is to reboot, delete the sidebar pref file and then log out and log back in. Sounds stupid, but it works and until I have time to fix it for good this is my solution.

I have a folder full of work files that I saved to the sidebar, sometimes, when I'm in a program, InDesign for instance, and I click Save and go to the sidebar, something else will be showing in the content area other than what's highlighted --
e.g., let's say the desktop is highlighted (and that's where I want to be) but the window is showing the Contents from a different folder or icon, such as the Work Folder. To get around this I have to click on something else in the sidebar, the Home folder for instance, then back to the Desktop icon to actually get the Desktop.
Not a huge problem but irritating nonetheless. Any ideas?
TIA,
GeoffI would try resetting your sidebar preference file. delete the file /users/yourusername/library/preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist and log out/in. your sidebar will be reset to the defaults. customize it as you want and see if this problem goes away.

Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome
Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome. Works in IE. This is my first time trying to post a question - so please be kind. I am also not good with code and am finding css a real challenge after learning to design based on tables. I'm using CS5.
The "test" page with the slide show is: http://www.reardanwa.com/index-slides.html The same page without the slide show is http://www.reardanwa.com/
I realize the images are not ideally sized - I'll fix those once I get the pages to function. Maybe I need a different slide show? I would prefer a widget that I can modify to required size & postition. Again - I'm not good at building with code from scratch.
The problem is the naviagation links that are directly next to the slide show do not work in Firefox of Chrome. They do work in IE.
I've read about using jQuery.noConflict(); code but can't figure out the correct way to use it in my case or whether that's even part of the solution. I know my code is not well organized as I have cobbled together from various sources in an attempt to format the page the way the client wants it. Also, FYI, I will eventually try to make the page work in Surreal CMS.
I've spent sevaral days over the last several weeks trying to solve sth slide show/navigation conflict - so any specific light you can shed will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I have problem with syncing in itunes and it stared since i installed new version of itunes.it stuck in backup step for houres.what shud i do?
So, in iTunes, when you look at the shuffle's content (in the sidebar) and click on the playlist under the shuffle, over to the right, the songs are in your desired order, correct? Where do you look, or what do you do, that indicates the playlists are in alphabetical order? Are you saying that when you play the songs while using the shuffle, they play in alphabetical order?
If so, when you listen to the songs on the shuffle, are you using the playlist, or are you using the All Songs list? If you are in the default All Songs list, with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order (the middle position), the songs play alphabetically, I believe.
The 3rd gen shuffle uses VoiceOver. If you are in the All Songs list, you need to use VoiceOver to switch to the playlist (see manual linked below for details). When you are in the playlist (with the shuffle's power switch set to play-in-order), then the songs should play in playlist order.
There are more details in the manual for the 3rd gen shuffle, which is online here
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iPod_shuffle_3rdGen_UG.pdf
See page 22 for the section about setting up and using VoiceOver. The part about switching playlists starts on page 23 (Using the Playlist Menu). -

Problem with External Hard Drive - Firewire
I have a problem with a *300GB Venus DS3 Hard Disk* / USB 2.0 - Firewire 400 (not sure if 400).
I have a +Mac G4 (1GHz Power PC G4 / 1GB DDR SDRAM)+ running +Mac OS 10.3.9.+
I connect Venus hard disk through USB cable and no problem. But when I want to connect it via Firewire it doesn´t appear in the desktop.
If I go to *System Profile* it says that there is a device connected to the FireWire port but i can´t see it in the desktop and if a open *Disk Utility*, there is no other hard disk besides the internal, so I can´t mount the Venus DS3 Hard Drive.
I looked in the internet and found this page -> http://american-media.com/support/downloadDDDS2316CBK.html
I was about to download the *Firmware Update* but i read this:
AMS is not held responsible for any damage caused by misusage of this utility! Use at your own risk and be aware that your warranty might be void! DO NOT CHANGE
ANY SETTINGS WITHOUT CONSULTING TECHSUPPORT. Do not distribute or post these files on the internet!
I searched in Internet and found that many persons had issues connecting Hard Drives using Firewire port and read some tips (like unplugging all the usb firewire devices unless mouse and keyboard, disconnect AC cable, wait 15 minutes, ...) but couldn´t fix the problem.
I also wrote several emails to the manufacturer of Venus hard drives (American-Media) but so far no answer.
I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me how to connect the Venus DS3 to a Mac G4 (OS 10.3.9) via FireWire.
Thank you very muchI suspect the problem is in the size of the drive. You say the drive was formatted for Mac and Windows. How did you do that? With older Macs, there is a 128 gB limit on drive size.
Here is a link to a third party disk utility that claims it gets around the size limit:
http://www.SpeedTools2.com/
Another possibility is to connect the drive to a Windows machine and re-format it into 3 volumes, each less than 128 gB. The Mac should be able to see the partitions.
Sidebar comments:
• The way I read the information on the AMS web page that you cited, you do not need a driver. And that is consistent with my experience with firewire enclosures.
• Inside the AMS enclosure, the drive is a standard ATA/IDE drive. That you can use the drive with a USB connection is proof the drive itself is working.
• The "bridge" is a key component in FW conectivity. (That is a piece of circuitry that sits between the IDE drive and the FW connection. It is inside the enclosure.) It appears your enclosure has the Oxford 911 chipset on the bridge. That is good. -
I face problems with the Nvidia 8800 GS on my iMac 24'' 3.06Ghz intel core duo. OS 10.06.08. What can I do to solve the problem and if you recommend upgrade to mountain Lion
If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.

Problems with bookmarks after update to version 16
My bookmarks used to appear in the bookmark drop-down menu but now are only available in the bookmark sidebar. I have tried the reset to default option. I have tried deleting the places.sqlite file and the localstore.rdf file from the profile, but no change. Should I also try deleting the places.sqlite-shm and places.sqlite-wal files??
How can I get my bookmarks back to where they were?
Also, I am unable to export bookmarks to html -- goes through the motions, but no file is created.Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

I am having issues with Sidebar files not appearing from within InDesign CS5.5. They show up fine from other Adobe applications. Using OS10.6.8.
I would first of all trash the preference file for InDesign, make sure the application is closed then find the prefs in
/Users/USER NAME/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign and just throw the entire folder away, it will generate a new one after you launch InDesign again.
Now launch InDesign and see if the problems are resolved.
If not I would repair your permissions on your hard drive wih disk utility, and if that fails then di-install InDesign and re-install that single application.
Let me know if any of these suggestions work for you
I will be checking my email although you might have to wait for a response as I will be taking a microlight flight over the Victoria Falls tomorrow. Yay can hardly wait. -
Unexpected problem with this printable
Started by trying to stop the printing of the "Samples" printable that was acquired accidentally. Tried directions found in the forums to no avail. Tried through the HP Go manageprint route and never saw the minus sign in the printable header as described. Trying on the control panel of the printer, I get to the "Select activity" option and select the "Schedule it" icon. Loading....then error message: "There was an unexpected problem with this printable. Please try again later." I also had problems previously connecting to web services when I tried to scan a document to my email address (which I have done many time previously successfully). Performed wireless network test and all results were good. Something is screwed up. Any assistance is appreciated.
I suspect the whole setup is "not quite right" and that is not your fault -- it is a multi-step process and if it does go well the first time around, it can seem like the size 14 is a solution to fit the need. I do not have an answer - know that. The print App is stuck, no doubt about that. I will try and help you straighten out the setup; understand I am not a Printer Expert. Not. This may make it worse. You might want to call Cloud Services if you can do so... SideBar:At the least, the Snapfish bits may be just one more worm in the bucket of troubles - at this point, you might as well Click Reset Snapfish -- frankly, while used to understand what Snapfish is and why it might be on the printer panel, I have never heard of Snapfish Country. Final note about Snapfish -- if you ever get into some sort of evil loop about logging into (creating) your HP Connected Account and it is offing something about Snapfish account -- saying you have to have the Snapfish account or you can just die and never be able to log into your HP Connected Account: Give the program what it wants --- it is a bug. Create the Snapfish account and you will be able to get in. I did not write the program. I did not create the bug. I may have done some stupid things when I wrote code in my life -- this one is not mine. Smiling. You can "reset" at least the "web services" by simply disabling Web Services on the printer front panel. This is perhaps a good plan all things considered; you might read first and then decide. The one thing I have noted is that I have never had had any luck resetting, redoing, or entering much of anything from a printer panel. I lack the patience to type on tiny panels. I do know the Printable / Print App has to be "scheduled", that is, active before it can be cancelled. So, if it is in some sort of zombie state of half-life, you may want log in to your HP Connected account and make sure the Print App is "active" -- then try to kill it. Also -- see the note below about the Safari browser -- there may be other browsers (Chrome??) that do not handle the HP Connected account management page setup. There are several parts to the whole "ePrint" business. The following might be useful to help you make sure you have your setup in place.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Reference:Add Device to Printer See Section:Computer gets Full Feature Software (Printer Software)If you are printing from a mobile device on the same (home) network, then you probably have a home computer in the mix (on that same network). On that home computer, you would want to have installed the Full Feature Software for the Printer. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ePrint SetupThe ePrint setup on ePrint capable printers involves the setting of the printer's own email address and the switching on of the ePrint service on the printer. The ePrint email address is the email address to which you send your print jobs from your mobile device(s). Note that a mobile device can also include your notebook computer. "If you can send an email, you can use ePrint." -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The HP Connected AccountThe HP Connected Account (still called ePrint account in some countrys) is the account you use to manage your ePrint setup. You can customize your ePrint email address, add / remove your ePrint printer from the HP Connected account, check your ePrint job log, and -- when things are working as intended -- manage your Print Apps (formally Printables). For example,If you have had to Reset Web Services, you may need to log into your HP Connected Account > Settings > and Add your printer. If you have had to Reset Web Services, you must change your Custom ePrint email address. If you gave your ePrint address to someone you no longer "like", you can change the address or remove that person from the "Allowed Senders" list. There are a couple of oddities having to do with the managing of the HP Connected Account. For all that it is intended to be fully functional under most circumstances, some Browsers do not seem to be able to handle the code in which the WebPage is written. Safari is notorious for not handling the Print Apps section of the HP Connected setup. If you have trouble managing the features in your HP Connected Account, try a different Browser. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Mobile Device / iPad gets an App Once everything else is set up, mobile device(s) can be added to the ePrint setup. The type of Application used to support the mobile device depends on the device. For example, iPhone and other Apple flavored products typically use those products found in the Apply Store. Android has its own download, etc. Most devices and printers that can be connected with ePrint or some sort of Cloud or Web services print service are mentioned and / or covered in the Mobile Printing Link in the document. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Troubleshooting and Additional HelpTips, Suggestions, lists, and extra "bits".

Problem with deactivating / deinstalling filevault
I have had filevault on my main user account. Due to problems with disappearing sidebar folders described elsewhere, I created a new admin account and moved all of my data to this account. I have not essentially emptied the old account, logged out to recover space and I now want to deactivate Filevault in the old account. But the process halts with an error message and in the console system log this string is found:
athrxproc: NO RX Packets for 5 contiguous interrupts first DS Vaddr 0x4f36c000 Paddr 0x8da5000
Any hints on what to do?thrxproc: NO RX Packets for 5 contiguous interrupts first DS Vaddr ...
Turning off Appletalk fixed those entries in my system log (it was enabled unknowingly on airport and the built-in ethernet) and sped up the log in well...
I'm not sure on the constant dropping, but I've been experiencing that, and will report back if turning apple talk off improved that situation too.
thought I'd share as google brought me to this thread too..

Firewire audio problems with OS X 10.5.6
Hello,
I’m experiencing audio problems with Firewire 400 on my Macbook running Mac OSX 10.5.6.
I’ve got a 2.4Ghz IntelCore 2 Duo with 4 GB RAM and 59 GB available on the internal HD.
It’s hooked up to a brand new Mackie D.4 mixer with 2 Firewire outputs. The problems occur on both Firewire outputs.
I’ve installed automatically from the software update (which I will never do again) to 10.5.6. I never tried the D.4 with 10.5.5 so I can’t tell if the problems occur there also.
The main problem is that after a couple of minutes of recording the sound starts to break up and get really distorted. After a while the sound comes back again.
The second problem is that Soundtrack Pro or Audacity don’t get any audio input from the D.4, although audio input is clearly visible in System Preferences – Sound.
The only sound program that works with all 14 Firewire channels is Ableton, but also in Ableton the distortion occurs.
An example of the distortion can be checked here:
http://media.kaalslag.com/firewire-distortion-problem-mackieD4+Macbook.mp3
I’ve roamed several forums and sites to solve the problem and I tried these solutions:
I updated again to 10.5.6. with the full combo download from the Apple site. Restarted. Problem still there.
I shut Airport off, because lots of sites mentioned problems with Airport conflicting with audio/firewire. Didn’t work.
I did the work around with shutting the Macbook off, disconnecting the D.4, restarting the Macbook, opening Audio/Midi Setup, connecting the D.4 again, toggling the format frequencies a couple of times. Again, no use.
Right now I’m using my “old” Macbook again to record from vinyl. This one is still running on OSX 10.4.11. No problems so far.
I’ve had the distortion problems occuring before with an USB interface. Hoped that the Mackie Firewire would solve the problem, but it seems now that there’s a serious audio Firewire problem which is still not solved in OSX 10.5.
Any help, tips and/or a work around would be much appreciated. Thanks!You could try using another computer in Target Disk mode (as an "external HD"), or you can connect the firewire cable and disconnect all other network cables (turning off airport). Then on each computer go to the "Network" system preferences and select "Built-in Firewire" from the list of ports and choose "Manually" from the drop-down menu next to "Configure". Enter the following IP addresses and subnet masks, apply the changes.
_Computer 1_
IP Address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
_Computer 2_
IP Address: 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
After those ip addresses are entered and you've clicked "Apply", ensure that for both computers you have file sharing enabled (done in the "Sharing" system preferences), and then check the Finder sidebar to see if the computers can see each other (their names should appear under "Shared" in the sidebar--if not, try restarting).
If the computers dont appear (even after restarting), using the "Connect To" option that's available in the Finder's "Go" menu. In there, to connect to another computer enter it's IP address as follows:
afp://IP_ADDRESS
If you're on the computer with the ip address of 192.168.1.1, you would enter 192.168.1.2 as "IP_ADDRESS". The "afp" is the protocol (just like "http" for web), and stands for "Apple Filing Protocol"...Apple's file sharing protocol. -
Problem with floated elements in IE5.5
I've apparently got a problem with a right sidebar float
being dropped in a primitive version of IE and I can't figure out a
remedy, as none are suggested in dwcs3's browser compatibility
function. The site is lindafarronknapp.com... if anyone has any
suggestions I would more than appreciate it...Thank you for the replies. What was happening is that the other audio files were being onverted by PPPro. This one was not. I moved the file to the desktop and once again placed it into the project. This time the yellow conversion line on the bottom right corner went to work and it works fine. It was some type of glitch with that one file. Thanks again. Roman

Every time I open Mail, the "Enter Password" screen pops up. If I type in the password and put a check mark in the "save to Keychain" and exclamation mark appears next to the "Inbox" mailbox in my Mail and the messages below appear.
Unable to Receive Mail
There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Verify the settings for account “POP: [email protected]” or try again.
The server returned the error: The user name and password specified in Mail preferences were not accepted by the server.
Alert

The server returned the error: The user name and password specified in Mail preferences were not accepted by the server.
If I leave the "Save to Keychain" box unmarked, then I am able to access my mail.
I have deleted the mail password from Keychain and re-entered it with no results. This was a minor problem on and off up until it became consistent a couple days ago when I "reset" Keychain.
Safari no longer does "autofill" on my online mail account even though I have the "remember me" box checked and my Quickbook software program always asks for a password now, when it didn't before. Somehow the autofill no longer works there either.
I don't feel as though the passwords are being saved to Keychain any longer. Even though I mark them to save, they do not show up listed in Keychain.Hi,
Open Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities). From the menu bar click KeychainAccess / Keychain FirstAid. Enter your admin password then click Verify.
If that doesn't help..
Open a Finder window, select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the Library folder then the Preferences folder. Move the com.apple.keychainaccess.plist file to the Trash.
For Safari. Go back to Keychain Access. Select Passwords on the left. Delete the *Safari Forms Autofill" keychain.
Restart your Mac.

Problems with Time Machine Buddy widget and with backups
I started a discussion in another forum but have been referred here for definitive help.
Here is the link to that posting: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2450454&tstart=0
TM Buddy tells me I don't have the rights to use it.
My wife's backups are not occurring when scheduled.
Thanks,
RichardThanks for the advice. I had assumed no problem with the backup since I did an ethernet connection and fresh backup a couple of days ago. That backup completed.
Yesterday I saw the "deep traverse" message I mentioned. Here is the TM Buddy report for that run:

There are error messages and perhaps you know what they mean.
In the meantime, today, I read about repairing the backup as you suggested and now have the MB connected by ethernet to TC and running the repair. I was a little confused by this advice:
•To Repair the sparse bundle on a Time Capsule, connect via an Ethernet cable if you can; it will be much faster. Then mount the sparse bundle by opening the TC in the Finder and double-clicking on the sparse bundle. Drag the sparse bundle into the lower part of Disk Utility's sidebar and select it. (When repairing a sparse bundle, the messages won't appear in the center area of the screen; so click the Log icon in the toolbar, or select Window > Show Log from the Menubar to display them.)
Because I dragged the sparsebundle to Disk Utility with no problem. The instructions (shown above) say to double-click on the sparse bundle but when I did that nothing special happened that I could see. So I dragged it over to Disk Utility manually. I am thinking it is a typo and should read "double-click on the TM backup folder" — what you think?
The other thing is that advice says that the messages won't appear on the center of the screen but they do for me. I also opened the log which is saying the same thing.
So hope I am doing it right.
Any advice on the TM Buddy error messages appreciated.
Richard
