Show toolbar and side bar by default...

Sometimes when I have windows open, the sidebar in the toolbar missing in the finder window. Is there a preference to turn them back on or is this just how things work now?
For example, in my image below, there used to be a button in the top right of the finder window that would let you see the toolbar. However, it seems to have been taken out and I was just wondering if there's a way to bring it back.

To set your default preferences, open a new Finder window, set it how you prefer (with or without the toolbar and sidebar), and close the window. Subsequent windows should "remember" this setting.
HOWEVER, the example you gave is a special case. Often, the Finder will override your preferences for certain disk images. The disk image has been customized by the developer to have a particular view, and that takes priority over your defaults.
Hope that helps.

  • My keyboard appears to be in French only on Firefox. IE and Word are okay. The apostrophe shows as è and the bar shows as à etc.

    My keyboard appears to be in French only on Firefox. IE and Word are okay. The apostrophe shows as è and the bar shows as à etc.
    Last week I had a problem with the special characters but that is resolved since I closed and reopened but I havenèt tried that yet but will as well. Very frustrating though - why is this happeningÉ

    See:
    * http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/The-Language-bar-overview The Language bar (overview)
    It is possible that you have switched the keyboard layout by accident.
    * Make sure that you have the Language bar visible on the Windows Taskbar.
    * You can do that via the right-click context menu of the Taskbar: Toolbars > Language Bar.
    * Check the keyboard language (keyboard layout) setting for the application that has focus via the icon on the Language bar.
    * You need to do that while Firefox has focus because Windows remembers the keyboard layout setting per application.
    * The default keys to rotate the layout is a combination (Ctrl+Shift or Alt+Shift) that can easily be used in Firefox to activate a menu item.
    * To avoid an unintentional switch assign a specific key sequence (Alt/Ctrl+Shift+number) to select keyboard layouts and remove the key combination to rotate layouts (Alt+Shift or Ctr+Shift)
    * Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Keyboards and Languages > Change keyboards > Advanced key settings > Change key sequence

    Finder>Go>Go to Folder> copy and paste:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    delete it.
    Finder>Go>Go to Folder> copy and paste:

    Now relaunch the Finder.  The Finder icon is in the very left of the Dock,  hold the control and option key click the icon>Relaunch

    I solved this by clicking the 3 horizontal bars (Open Menu) at top right of screen, then clicked "Menu Bar" in the options shown. Suddenly my toolbar and task bar appeared on the screen and stayed.

  • Apple TV no show in iTunes side bar

    I can't see Apple TV in iTunes side bar, nor in the Preferencies menu.
    The Apple TV itself though is working fine on my TV, still I wonder how can I sync it from my iMac
    Thank you
    Gio

    answer really depend on what appletv it is
    if black one then it's not suppose to as it dont have storage and cant be synced to only access a shared lib
    if the alu then you likely have to go to settings in the appletv and remove the bind to whatever computer it feel it's bound to and then resetup the binding with your computer

  • Inside the browser, right click on the mouse seems to be disabled. How can I enable the right click button? It works fine on toolbars and tab bar but not inside tabs or windows. I would like to be able to copy and paste and such. Thank you

    Right mouse button does not open any menu when clicked inside of tabs or windows. Works properly on the toolbars, in the address line, search bar...etc. but has no action on the page I'm browsing. I purchased a mouse recently and like the old one, the right button works in all other areas of my operating system. I would like to know if there is a setting in firefox that I can change to correct this.

    There are also websites that can disable the right-click context menu.
    See Tools > Options > Content : JavaScript > Advanced > Allow Scripts to:
    [ ] "Disable or replace context menus"
    There are other things that need attention:

  • I have lost my toolbar and task bar. I have tried all the sugestions on this site to no avail. I don't know how to try a system restore with out them.

    I was enlarging pictures on Facebook to full screen. When i went to move on. All my tool bars and my task bar have disappeared. I have tried all the suggestions on this site to no avail. I don't know how to do a system restore without my task bar, and don't want to lose my book marks. Please help, i can't grt to my important favorite sites.

    Can you launch a new window (Ctrl+n for a normal window, Ctrl+Shift+p for a private window) that has the usual complement of toolbars? If a new window also is missing bars, try using the View menu > Toolbars list to restore them. If the classic menu bar is not displayed, usually tapping the Alt key or the F10 key will show it temporarily.

  • I accidentally deleted the toolbar and command bar and everything that is above the tabs. How do I get it back?

    I accidentally deleted everything above the tabs: toolbar, command bar etc. and now I have no idea how to get it back. Can anyone please help me?

    The command bar in IE is situated to the right of the tabs. They include the following:- HOME, NO FEEDS DETECTED, READ MAIL, PRINT, PAGE, SAFETY, TOOLS, and ? This command bar is missing in Mozilla Fire Fox. There is a download called VISTA-AERO but it appears to be incompatible in Fire Fox. To me the command bar is useful so I miss it.
    The menu bar is totally different to the command bar. That sits to the top left of the screen. It seems to me from the answers that are posted refer to the menu bar. The way that the answers are written are helpful to those that lose the menu bar but is not helpful to the people who are missing the command bar.
    I, like the others who miss the command bar would like a solution to obtaining a compatible command bar in Fire Fox please. Any body have any suggestions please.

  • Hard drive not identified during Installation. Disk Utility showing nothing in left side bar

    Some day before my Macbook pro shown the flashing question mark. I have tried to install thr OS Snow leopard using disc.
    When I started to install the OS, my start up disc ( Hard drive) is not showing for installation.
    I have gone through the Disk Utility to repair it, but in that  Hard drive is not showing in left side bar.
    Kindly suggest how can I recover my Hard drive to install the OS?

    That suggests that the drive is dead; if so, it needs to be replaced, and any data on it can only be recovered by a professional service, which can charge hundreds or thousands of dollars.
