Sidebar icons keep reappearing?

In the Finder, i keep getting 2 burn folder icons appearing. i delete them all the time but they keep coming back? i deleted the Finder preferences but no luck. Any ideas would be great!

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Try This...

Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
If no joy...
Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer

Folder icons keep reappearing whenever I make a new bookmark. closing window and opening new one eliminates them again. is there a fix for this?

I asked this question months ago but have received no replies. I ran the original de-iconizer but as soon as I select "Bookmark this page" all the folder icons reappear. I can close the window and open a new one to get a de-iconized browser window but am looking for a fix for this.

My icons keep disappearing and then reappearing

I'm new to macs and this problem is confusing me, all of a sudden last night my desktop icons keep disappearing and then they reappear in the same place, but if i have a window open like Macintosh HD it closes it. When this happens it also switches from what im working on, like this message so I have to click back on it to continue.
This is happening alot and I was hoping someone could give me some info. or do I have to reinstall.....
Im used to having to do these things on PC's but not on macs.
Cheers

Tony,
You have to reset the parameter ram.

Macintosh: How to Reset PRAM and NVRAM
This document explains how to reset the parameter random access memory (PRAM) and nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) on Macintosh computers.
Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys.
Your computer's PRAM and the NVRAM are reset to the default values. The clock settings may be reset to a default date on some models

Mail deleted massages keep reappearing

I am a Mavericks operating & macbook user. I have noticed that every time I use Mail and delete unwanted messages, they keep reappearing again.
Is there a way to make Mac Mail is the Master and Yahoo/Gmail/Outlook is the slave, so that every action taken in Mail will be reflected in its relative mail box?
Regards,

Hello Joe.
What type of mail account is this (POP, IMAP, .Mac)?
Certain messages keep re-appearing in my inBox, even when I delete them.
You may be able to get rid of those messages in Mail doing Edit > Cut (⌘X) (for best results do it with one message or just a few at a time), but you should remove them from the server first if they’re still there.
Mail is only receiving some of the email messages sent to me.
Do you have any custom rules? It looks like Mail is downloading all the messages, but your rules are processing them in an unexpected way...
Open the Account Info window by choosing Get Info (⌘I) from the Action menu (gear icon) located below the mailbox list in the main Mail window. Does Mail display there the messages that it doesn’t download? Do they appear as already downloaded or as not downloaded yet (dot column)?

Empty "Recovered Files" folder keeps reappearing in my Trash

Hello,
An empty "Recovered Files" folder keeps reappearing in my Trash each time I boot my iMac.
Is there any way to prevent this empty folder from constantly reappearing?
Thank you and regards,
Olivier.

I think this issue started in Tiger, however there was some freeware that would automatically empty the Trash on start up. I downloaded that software and it worked. It was called "RecoverTrasher". It worked with Snow Leopard, at least until last week when I had to delete my entire preferences file due to an unrelated issue. Now it no longer works on my iMac.
There is still a link to RecoverTrasher at http://mac.softpedia.com/progDownload/RecoverTrasher-Download-9415.html/, however, I don't know if it works with 10.6.4. This version is 1.4, and it still references "Tiger", but I downloaded it and put it into my log-in items, shut down and then restated. The icon for it briefly appeared in the dock, and the trash is empty, so it appears to have worked at least this first time with Snow Leopard.
I don't have any relationship with the author of the software, and don't make any representations about the software.

Apple Mail 2.1.3 (OS X 10.4.11) deleted message keeps reappearing

I sent a mail that exceeded the maximum size of the recipients mailbox. When the mail-delivery message came back, my system HD was full and the incoming mail could not be stored. After I got my Mac back running, the mail-delivery-error-message keeps reappearing – even after deletion.
When I delete the message in the inbox and in the trash, it reappears as soon as I click on "Inbox". If I open the message and click the "Delete Message" icon, it stays and appears in my trash as often as I clicked it. How can I get rid of that message?
Thanx.

If you know what you are doing it may be simplest to backup all emails and Mail settings and progressively remove Mail settings and files until you find the problem.
Make sure you do not delete more than you have to from the server.
Perhaps start by checking the server via web access to see that it looks OK at that end and does not have your large file stuck somewhere.

Calendar in Yosemite does not comply to Sidebar icon size setting?

The icon size and the font size in the sidebar of System apps can be set in
System Prefs => General => Sidebar icon size
The Finder of OS X 10.10 does react to this setting, Mail.app does and in Mavericks also Calendar.app did.
On my MBP running Yosemite, Calendar v8.0 always shows quite large icons and a large font in the sidebar.
Is this a problem of my installation, or is it "normal"?
There are other problems of the Calendar sidebar, for example I am unable to enlarge the sidebar to show longer names of individual calendars.

If you want the calendar entries that you create on the phone to sync with the gmail, you need to create the entry in the gmail calendar on the phone. If you create it in the phone calendar, it is only on the phone.
Usually at the very top of the new event entry you have a choice of which calendar to create this event in. Either Phone, gmail or any other option you have synced to your phone. To get it to sync to the gmail calendar you need to select the gmail calender.

ICloud keeps duplicating my contacts, any of which I need to delete anyways. Is there a way to delete multiple contacts at once? I have been deleting them one at a time, but they keep reappearing.

I have exactly the same problem! I have Outlook 2010 and it does the same thing with my contacts, and calender enteries!! Really frustrating

TS3899 Getting the message "your mail could not be moved to trash", and keeps reappearing as not read or deleted.

Getting the message "your mail could not be moved to trash", and keeps reappearing as not read or deleted.

Did you have Hotmail set-up with Android prior? I did, and if you did too, you have the same problem, and this is how to solve it.
From your desktop computer, the Hotmail (or Outlook) website uses the folder "Deleted" for your deleted messages as default. On your iPhone, the deleted folder's name by default is "Trash".
When I had my Hotmail with Android, it created a folder Trash for deleted messages, and it's creation was amongst all my folders. So when you go back and look at Hotmail from your desktop, you will see a folder Trash, in addition to the default Deleted. My Trash folder had all the emails I deleted from my Android.
That said, with the manual folder Trash that was created, when trying to set-up Hotmail now on iPhone, because I already had a folder Trash, it conflicted with the default "Trash" folder it wanted to created, so it didn't create it, being the reason why you can't delete emails, because it doesn't have the defaulted "Trash" folder to go to.
The solution is to delete the folder "Trash" from your desktop, uninstall Hotmail from your iPhone, and re-install, and it worked, the defaulted "Trash" was then created, alongside the "Sent" and "Junk".

My iphone 5 cannot restart in itunes or by the power charger. The apple icon keeps flashing

my iphone 5 cannot restart in itunes or by the power charger. The apple icon keeps flashing

Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
- Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear. (For iOS 6 older, hold down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
- Relaunch the App and try again.
- Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
- Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
- Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
- Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
- Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
- Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

If you haven't already restart and test, if no joy then Repair Disk Permissions in Disk Utility. Open Disk Utilties (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utility) select the internal HD, select the First Aid tab and then click Repair Disk Permissions. To be safe run Repair Disk Permissions 2x.

My macbook pro is infected with VBS.Lys.M. Unfortunately, bitdefender can only quarantine it and it keeps reappearing. Is there any way to remove it from my computer?

My macbook pro is infected with VBS.Lys.M. Unfortunately, bitdefender can only quarantine it and it keeps reappearing. Is there any way to remove it from my computer?

That's Windows malware, so it cannot be infecting your Mac. It probably is on your computer as an email attachment. To remove it, see:
http://www.thesafemac.com/how-to-remove-infected-files/
Also, note that BitDefender is pretty bad at detecting Mac malware. I would recommend removing it. See my Mac Malware Guide for more information about protecting yourself from malware:

Have an iPod touch 4th gen. It is completely charged, but once I disconnect from a power source it shuts down and then the apple logo just keeps reappearing. I have restored via iTunes and reset all the settings. Any suggestions?

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

Deleted Files keep reappearing

I've tried everything - there are 12 files which after deleted and emptying trash - keep reappearing on my desktop
I've recreated the Trash Bin, ran Chkdsk, started in SAFE Mode and deleted, nothing. Any ideas on what is causing this and how to remedy?
thanks

Only have 1 account - that's mine and it is the administrator.
What are these files? (full name & extension?)
When were they created? (date & time?)
By the way - running a machine on just one admin account is a high-risk way of doing things. If something went wrong with this account you would have a huge problem. In these forums we deal with such issues on a daily basis. A spare admin account, fully
tested and documented, is as important as having a spare house key (and for much the same reason!).
