Unwanted icon in favorites columm on finder page

Hi all.
I have recently got a new MBP 15" to replace an older one that i dropped, i carried out a re-install from time machine that has all gone very well.
But when i open the finder page in the favoriate columm there is a icon for I-cal that does not do anything and i can not delete it or move it to the trash. Using the preferances panel i still cant delete it but i can add/delete new favorate.
Anyone have any ideas?

Have you tried holding 'CMD' and dragging it over the edge of the favourire column? That should turn it into a puff of smoke.

How to Delete Unwanted Folder from Favorites Sidebar in Finder?

In the finder, by mistake I created a folder on the left side under the favorites category (you know along with Pictures, Music, Movies, Downloads, Documents, Desktop, Applications, Airdrop and All My Files)
So far I've tried highlighting the untitled folder and hitting delete, tried dragging and dropping folder to desktop, and tried dragging folder to trash. None of these worked! Does anyone know how to fix this?
Or at least has anyone else had this problem or if you're still confused I will try to clarify better, question may be little confusing.
THANKS!

Hold the Command key down and the drag it off the sidebar. A Puff of smoke will form and when you drop it that smoke will go Poof.

Some files in "DOCUMENTS" icon in dock won't open. Get msg saying You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." Have Pages 4.1 installed. Same files will open ok from Finder, Pages App. Recently sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) after iOS5 installed.

Some files in "DOCUMENTS" icon in dock won't open. Get msg saying "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." Already have Pages 4.1 installed. Same files will open ok from Finder/Pages App./selected file. Prob not noted until recently after sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) when I installed iOS5. Anyone-- please?!

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Unwanted query execution before adding Find page restrictions

Hello,
When the JHS (10.1.2.1.27) application I made is started, the whole table content is queried without restrictions BEFORE the Find page has loaded.
Because it's a fair amount of data, I get out of memory messages.
I have used 2 specific settings that are related to this:
1) Property "Use Table Range?" has been turned off
2) Query Bind Parameters are used
Looking in the log files I noticed the following:
13:24:00 DEBUG (JhsActionServlet) -Request URI: /PppHseSisQuery/FindPppVLastBhy.do
13:24:00 DEBUG (JhsActionServlet) -Request Character Encoding: ISO-8859-1
13:24:04 DEBUG (JhsDataAction) -Executing action /FindPppVLastBhy
13:24:04 DEBUG (JhsDataAction) -Created searchBean map and stored on session
13:24:04 DEBUG (JhsDataAction) -Created new searchBean for PppVLastBhyUIModel and added to quick search bean map
13:24:04 DEBUG (JhsDataAction) -Stored searchBean for PppVLastBhyUIModel on request
13:24:04 DEBUG (JhsDataAction) -ViewObject PppVLastBhyView: value of bind param 0 set to null
13:24:04 DEBUG (JhsDataAction) -ViewObject PppVLastBhyView: value of bind param 1 set to null
13:24:04 DEBUG (JhsDataAction) -ViewObject PppVLastBhyView: value of bind param 2 set to null
13:24:04 DEBUG (JhsDataAction) -ViewObject PppVLastBhyView: value of bind param 3 set to null
13:24:04 DEBUG (JhsDataAction) -ViewObject PppVLastBhyView: value of bind param 4 set to null
13:24:04 DEBUG (JhsDataAction) -ViewObject PppVLastBhyView: value of bind param 5 set to null
13:24:04 DEBUG (JhsDataAction) -ViewObject PppVLastBhyView: value of bind param 6 set to null
13:24:04 DEBUG (JhsDataAction) -ViewObject PppVLastBhyView: executing query, bind parameter values have changed
It seems that the bind parameters get initialized in some kind of way at startup.
This is detected as a change in value apparently, after which the query execution is triggered.
So far so good. The problem is that my main query restriction is not related to any of the query bind parameters.
Because the Find page has not been loaded yet, this mandatory restriction has not been added to the searchBean yet and will therefore not be added to the view object's where clause.
The result is that all table records will be queried.
My question: Is there any way to prevent the query to be executed before the Find page has loaded?

Have you tried setting the group checkbox "Auto Query?" to unchecked? This should prevent the query from executing before the find page is loaded.

Where do I find pages on my macbook if it was preinstalled?

I am unable to find pages '08 on my macbook. I just got this yesterday. I've never had one, my last laptop was a sony and it is extremely different! So if anyone can help me find pages it would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
The trial of Pages will be in Applications > iWork '08 on your hard drive. You'll want to leave it there so if Apple issues any updates, Software Update will be able to find it. The easiest way to keep the icon in the Dock is to right-click or hold & click on the icon in the Dock while Pages is running & choose "Keep in Dock." Then you'll only have to click once on the Pages icon to launch it.

Why are unwanted icons appearing on the toolbar

When opening a finder window there are now several unwanted icons on the toolbar, 2 are for games and one for a certain website. Don't know how they got there and customizing the toolbar does nothing to remove them or show how they got there either.j
Any ideas? Thanks.

They were probably dragged and inadvertenly dropped on the Finder toolbar. Command-drag them off and poof them.

Hi. I just downloaded "angry birds" from the iTunes store. It says it was successfully downloaded and that I can use it on the two mac products I have. I can see an icon for it in the finder on the mac, but I can't figure out how to play the game. Anyone?

Thank you for your reply. After a lot of fruitless searches, I hit on a page that offered the same wisdom you did. I feel like rather a fool for not knowing that. Grr. I really appreciate your answer, and that you didn't end it with "dummy." Cheers to you. Hope someone does something kind for you today.

"My Pictures" folder deleted/moved from My Favorites sidebar in Finder – How to retrieve?

I accidentally moved "My Pictures" folder from the My Favorites sidebar in Finder, and I can no longer find the folder. I've searched "all my files" for a My Pictures folder and nothing has come up, not even in the trash (that I haven't yet emptied). I am wondering if there is anyway of getting this folder back, as I had several pictures and folders organized within that My Pictures folder. All of my pictures are somewhere still on my computer but even they are hard to locate now without them being in any folder. Would be a HUGE pain to have to re-organize every single thing that was in that folder. Please if somebody has a solution, do share! Thank you!!!

Okay, so I actually just figured it out.... If anybody is wondering/has the same problem with any folder:
I went into Finder>All my files> Search and typed in "Pictures" and then went to the "gear looking icon" and clicked Search Criteria. Then changed the second option from "Document" to "Folder". (This explains why none of the folders were showing up). I then dragged the following folder back into "Favorites" sidebar. See Pictures attached.
Thanks for the help anyway.

Quick Look icon doesn't appear in Finder window?

I've just installed Leopard, and have just read in the manual about Quick Look. Quick Look shows up in the drop-down File menu if I highlight a file or document, but it doesn't show up where it's supposed to in the Finder window, as an eyeball icon. I'm sure there's some obvious fix: can anyone explain what I have to do to get the icon to show up in Finder?
Much obliged.
jk

the easiest way to quicklook a file is select the file and hit the space bar. but if you want to call it from the toolbar the icon should be tere too. if it isn't, go to view menu->customize toolbar and drag the "eye" icon to the toolbar.

404 can't find page Error when logging into Exchange 2013 OWA, after a refresh, login works

Hi,
I've upgrade two of my customers to Exchange 2013.
On of them was coming from 2007, and the other was already running 2010.
Migration from both of the servers went good.
However with the customer which upgraded from 2010 to 2013 i'm experiencing strange OWA behavior:
When I login to OWA on https://owa.contoso.com/owa, and input my credentials and click sign in: I receive this error:
404
can't find page :-(
The page you're looking for couldn't be found on the server.
X-FEServer: JVBMAIL01
Date: 11-6-2014 11:54:48
Fewer details..
-> Refresh the page
In the addressbar, the following URL is displayed: https://owa.contoso.com/owa/auth/errorFE.aspx?httpCode=404
But... when I click: "Refresh the page" of just hit F5, the login proceeds, and my OWA is displayed and working fine.
This behavior only happens with my customer which was upgraded from 2010 to 2013.
The customer which i've upgraded from 2007 to 2013 doesn't experience this problem.
I've matched the IIS settings and redirect/ssl options on both servers. They are the same.
I've tried other users and i've experienced that on one user, the error message didn't appear.
When I try to delete the Exchange atributes from the user, (after exporting the mail to a PST file) and re-add the Exchange attributes, the message is gone. This isn't a solotuion however, since i've got 166 users, and about 150 of them, get the error message.
New users don't get the error.
Anybody got any clues?

Hi,
From your description, I would like to verify the following thing for troubleshooting:
Please make sure that the authentication is set to Basic Authentication and Forms Authentication is disabled on OWA and ECP virtual directly in IIS. After the above settings, please restart IIS by running IISReset /noforce command.
Hope it helps.
Best regards,
Amy Wang

My external hard drive has been connected for a couple of years and is using time machine perfectly. i am trying to save my iphoto library on the external drive but the icon is not displayed in finder. Only time machine icon is displayed......thanks for your help!

Did you create a second partition for your iPhoto Library or did you just use the same single partition that TimeMachine is on?

Why can't I click and open my Skydrive from the favorites bar in finder?

I am able to do this for Google Drive and also Copy, so I should be able to do the same for Skydrive.
So how come I cannot click on Skydrive in the favorites bar in finder? I can click on everything else but when I try to click skydrive it is as if I clicked on the window outside of finder where it would be inactive. I want to be able to open my skydrive from finder (in favorites) so how can I fix this?
Please and thanks for any answers at all in advance

If I understand correctly you want the title to appear on top of a later video clip so both title and clip are visible. The problem is the "whites" background which is both making the background opaque and stopping you from pasting it above another clip. If you just select and drag the title by itself, the background will be transparent so the video clip below will show through. You should also be able to copy and paste it directly above the clip you want.
If you want different parts of the title to have a special effect you will have to edit each instance after you have made and positioned the copies.
I hope this helps - or have I misunderstood?

I have rearranged all icons on the second and third pages to have a just a photo on my home, but if i switch off the iphone when i restarted it all the icons come back in the old position on the home and second page. I have ios5.

you can suggest it here - http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
And it is only a problem if you want a blank first screen. Personally, it would drive me nuts always having to swipe over one page to get to my apps - the only time I unlock my iPhone is to use it or run an app, so no, I have no need nor desire to have a first screen with no icons at all.
But, if they'd put it in as an option so people like yourself can also have what they want, that's fine too So send them your feedback (they actually do listen - iOS 5 includes a number of things people have been asking for on these forums, like being able to delete individual entries from the call history, inproved alerts/notifications, being able to opt out of all the location based data they collect,...).
