Why can't I see my media in the left sidebar when using finder?

I recently made the switch to Mac and I have some confusion. When using finder, I am not getting an option to browse through my media such as photos, videos and music. How do I get these folders to appear on my sidebar?
Thankyou.

I then went into my finder preference section and changed my "New finder window show" to my computer's name. At that point I could view and find anything within it. this part got the job done.
"You don't, they only appear in open file dialogs and in tool panels like in iMovie, iPhoto.
To view your media, you open the app that you use to manage that type of media." this on the other hand was zero help
What you did doesn't show the Media Browser. It just shows the folders where your media is stored. You may be correct that was all that cobacc wanted.
The Media Browser shows the actual media in thumbnails so that you can preview the media.
However, neither requires any Sharing services to be enabled.

Why can't I see still images in the playback monitor when editing a video?

Why can't I see still images in the playback monitor when editing a video? I have rendered the images in the project. I checked my system to make sure it meets all the requirements for the software, no problem there. When I "share" the project and save it as an MPEG, the images show up in WMP just fine. But I need to be able to see what I'm doing to the stills while I am editing. Help!

Many thanks for the reply with the details.
But, the key is missing...what version of Premiere Elements are you using? Are you using Premiere Elements 10?
I hope not in this case, but if you are, we will tell you what needs to be done. The following is a copy/paste of the Announcement
at the top of this forum about the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue.
Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing
Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling
back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow
glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies
to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of
the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere
Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports

Why Can't I see or access my external hard drive anymore using finder

I have a MacBook using Lion 10.7.5 and I use a Seagate 1 TByte external hard drive to store large photo and video files so that these won't take up space on my system hard drive. I also use the drive to share files with friends, colleagues and family members. Just recently I was no longer able to see my harddrive when I plugged it into the USB port on the Mac. However, when using the Disk Utilities, I was able to see the hard drive but could not access or see the files. Therefore the USB cable and USB port is working from a hardware perspective. The light also was on when I plugged the hard drive into the USB port so I know the hard drive is working. I brought the laptop and hard drive to my local Apply store to see if they could determine the problem. They did everything I already did regarding the testing of hardware. They recommended that I reload my software because something in the OS must have gotten corrupted. I re-installed the OS and the updates to the version. The re-install DIDN'T help. Using Bootcamp with Windows XP which is installed on my MacBook, I wanted to find out if Windows would recognize the hard drive and also give me access to the files. Using Windows, I was able to now see the drive and access the files. I now know the hard drive works, the USB cable and port is working and windows gave me the ability to access all of the files.
THE FIX: The hard drive was stuck in the Windows Mount Mode and because of this, the Mac OS was not able to recognize the hard drive using finder in Mac OS. When I was still in Windows, I ejected or dismounted the dick prior to removing the hard drive from the MacBook. I then shut down Windows and restarted the Mac OS. Once the system was fully up, I plugged the hard drive into the MacBook via the USB port. The Hard Drive is now being recognized by my Macbook once more. I can again access all my files.
HOW THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED: While sharing my hard drive with a colleague to transfer some files on a PC using Windows, the colleague disconnected the hard drive from the PC after the files were transferred by pulling the USB cable out of the USB port without a software dismount or ejection. This caused the hard drive to hang in a "windows mounted state" even though there was no power to the hard drive. When peripherals are connected to either a Mac or PC systems, they should always to properly dismounted via a software dismount or a system ejection. Proper dismount of peripherals will always insure the closure and correct allocation of data within the booting sectors and data fields of the hard drive.

Thanks everyone. I suppose I'll just reformat for Apple. I need to use it for large files, and I suppose I could survive without editing ablities on Windows.
There's another alternative, format it as exFat, 4G limit does not apply and OSX + Windows will be able to read/write.

Why can't I see full reviews in the App Store?

Why can't I see full reviews in the App Store? Every review that is longer than 6 lines has three dots, indicating more, but nowhere to click to see the rest of the review.

Thank you. I only saw the word "More" on one review of one app that I looked at, and I knew to click on that. But many reviews of several apps had three dots at the end of the sixth line without the word "More". And it was obvious there was more written because it was, for example, left in the middle of a sentence.

HT1399 I just downloaded the newest version of itunes, and when I connect my ipod nano (3rd gen), I can no longer see my playlists (on the left hand side). I hate the new format...any way to revert back to the old one?

I just downloaded the newest versionof itunes. Now when I plug in my ipod, I can no longer see my playlists (listed on the left hand side). The new format is very confusing! How do I drag and drop songs into specific playlists I have? Is there a way to revert back to the old itunes?

I had the same question. Someone answered perfectly here post https://discussions.apple.com/message/20575126#20575126
The answer was click View > Show sidebar. Devices and playlists will display in the left sidebar once again.

Why can't I see these results in the results grid

If I run the pl/sql below as a script F5 I can see the results of the "select * from TestOutput", but If I execute it with F9 I don't see any results in the results grid. Anybody know why? Thanks in advance for any help.
CREATE TABLE TestOutput (val1 varchar2(50), val2 varchar2(255) , numval1 NUMBER, numval2 NUMBER);
DECLARE
SomeText VARCHAR2(255);
BEGIN
SomeText := 'Hello';
INSERT INTO TestOutput VALUES ('yadayada', SomeText, 1, 1);
INSERT INTO TestOutput VALUES ('yadayada', SomeText, 2, 2);
INSERT INTO TestOutput VALUES ('yadayada', SomeText, 3, 3);
END;
select * from TestOutput;
drop table TestOutput;

I think that you he is executing all the commands of a time, selecting everything and click in F9 or F5.
If he will be this, this behavior is correct.
Ps.:
F5 - scripts.
F9 - alone statements (not to be that they are separate for semicolons).

Why can't I see my podcast in the iTunes store

When I click on the link provided by Apple I see my podcast in the iTunes store, but when I just try to drill down to it through the iTunes menus I can't find it. I've noticed that there seems to be a maximum of five pages of podcasts for each category. Does this mean that there are other podcasts out there that you just can't get to without doing a search or something?

Run Software update from the Apple menu or update yrou signature (it shows 10.8.2).

Have you used one of these methods to create a Sequence?
Be sure that your Sequence settings match your footage by doing this:
Or, right-click a media file and select 'New Sequence From Clip".

Audio sent out of DAW --------> Mixng Deck ------> back into Soundcard via SPDIF (digital) on inputs 9/10
I am sening al my sounds out of the computer to be summed on a mixing decks and then the 2 channles of audio from the deck is coming back into my soundcard as an digital a signle on INPUTS 9/10.
Can anyone please advise ..........!?!

Might want to read on what Low Latency mode does + why and when you should use it.
It's basically only used in realtime monitorinr when recording and/or when recording softsynths.
By reading the docs you should be able to figure out why the right side is being muted.
http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/usermanual/index.html#chapter=41%26se ction=2%26tasks=true
Be sure software monitoring is Off when recording the summed input.

Why can't Safari see updated media (pictures) from Aperture w/o having to quit/open?

To reiterate, I can't see/upload any updated Aperture Library pictures through the Safari Media>Pictures finder window when trying to select pictures for upload to a website with both apps open. I have to quit/reopen Safari for the updated chages by Aperture to show. This is counter productive. Is there a workaround or am I missign something?

Why can't I see my videos on the computer?

I connect the iPod and I can play all songs on my computer, I can also hear the sound of the video but I can't see it I just see some green colore blinking on the screen... I have iTunes 7... can some one help please?

Andy,
You will need to do roughly the following :
Install CAM on a host of your choice to manage the array.
Assign an IP address to the array using the serial management interface (or DHCP)
Register the Array's IP address with CAM.
Connect the Hosts fibre card(s) to the array host ports
Install the HBA drivers on the server you want to connect.
In CAM you will need to create initiators for the HBA ports. (Do you have a domain license or are you going to use the global domain?)
Create a host in CAM for the initiators.
Create a Virtual Disk
Create a Volume on the Virtual Disk
Map the volume to the host you defined before
You will also need multipathing software installed if you have more than one fibre connection from the host.
Take a look here on docs.sun.com for more info on CAM. http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/821-1425-10
