Favorites do not appear in the sidebar save/open dialogs (El Capitan)

The question

The problem is that the sidebar first SAVE / OPEN Windows is missing from the list of favorites. Some people also report they are absent in the side bar of the Finder itself, but in my case, it was not the question.

In some cases reboot temporarily seems to "solve" the problem, only to have it come back a little later.

Some people have suggested to delete the Finder preferences plist file (~ / Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist). But people say it does not, correct or is it fixed only temporarily. Delete this file also kills all the Favorites from the Finder, which means he must recreate the list.

I can hardly believe that a serious UI bug has occurred since the 10.11.0, which was released more than a year ago.

Does anyone have a legitimate solution to this issue?


In addition to background information

This question seems to be fairly widely reported. There are many cases reported here on the Apple Forums, although I saw no meaningful discussion on the problem and permanent solutions.

It is also fairly widely reported on other sites (blogs, etc.). Various solutions are available, but many people say these don't fix, or only very temporarily fix.

As far as I know, this question was held for people in all versions of El Capitan, of 10.11.0 thanks 10.11.6 (the most common, from this announcement).

A small sample of the cases reported here on the Apple Forums:

Links in the finder sidebar missing dialogue

Missing favorite folders during recording as in all software

This issue is fairly widely reported online. I searched through the Rapporteur of bugs and no results were returned, which seems hard to believe.

Missing Finder instance handles dialogues open/save favorites.

Often the sidebar is hidden. It can be restore to see, and then the Favorites are missing. People have reported this problem on line since 10.11.0

Sometimes in the Finder itself in this case also.

Steps to reproduce:

Use registration opening of in any application.

Sidebar missing all the favourites. Only the items that have been seen are DEVICES.

Expected results:

It should be a list of FAVORITES in the sidebar of all Windows Open/Save.

Actual results:

Sidebar is missing from the list of FAVORITES.

Version:

10.11.6 (the problem is reported to occur in all versions of El Capitan)

    My Favorites bar is empty - there are sites in the folder... I just upgraded to Firefox 7. How can I get these bookmarks to display in the toolbar?
    (They appear when the sidebar is open, but I want that they upstairs as I had them.)

    The sounds that he lacked the "bookmarks toolbar items" in the bookmarks toolbar.

    I guess you did drag this point to the toolbar via the window customize.

    Open the Customize via "view > toolbars > customize" or "Firefox > Options > toolbars."

  • In Firefox updated, my new bookmarks (Favorites) do not appear in Unsorted Bookmarks... or anywhere... and are not for editing when I double-click on the star.

    Used Firefox (and Xmarks) for many years without problem.
    Since the upgrade to the latest version of Firefox, I can't create new bookmarks. When I have a Web page 'star', it does not appear in the folder of Unsorted Bookmarks OR at the bottom of my list of unsorted bookmarks. I'm unable to 1) find my bookmark ANYWHERE and 2) double click on the star to change my bookmark.
    Why am I having this problem? I spent too much time quite several times now trying to figure out what was once a task fundamental, almost blind.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

  • Sites of bookmark in the file that does not appear in the window

    I need to put several websites in a folder, I named "Accessories". He is not one of the four files in the drop down window. So, I have to save it in one of the four and then open that folder and move the site to the "Accessories" folder

    Is it possible to change the four sites in the window (two of them that I haven't used in years)? Then go straight to this folder?

    The seal shows what is happening.

    What I want to do is to click "bookmark this page" and be able to put it directly in a folder.

    I want to change the four folders listed in the drop-down list.

    What I do is put a bookmark in the 'Western Short Story' folder, and then open up the bookmark in the "Accessories" folder that does not appear in the box.

    It's not a huge deal, but I'm working on about 20 sites today and I would like to save a few steps.

  • date does not appear in the message list

    For the many emails I get from various accounts date does not appear in the list of messages, only time.
    It seems that these messages were received today, in fact they are old.

    Encountered this problem on 2 different PCs, 3 different email (gmail and own server) accounts.

    What could be the cause and how to fix it?

    IF you select Ctrl U _ on one of these messages, there is a right of the line at the top of the message
    -Killed Mar 25 10:09 2014 is a message that I received today. This is the date and time Thunderbird has calculated, he received the message

    Lower on the list

    Date is: sub form Date: Monday, March 24, 2014 23:32:50-0000

    These two are of the same email.

    E-mail uses time GMT so that the message has been sent to 24 March 2014 23:32:50 GMT.

    Thunderbird uses my locale information to know that my timezone is GMT + 09:30 by result Mar 25 10:09

    If your seeing odd times instead of dates, check that the information is correct as above.

    Note that if the sender is their computer set to 1970 date then you will get mail today from them with the date of 1970. Even if they think it's in October that is what will show their mail. This is most important when dealing with people with limited computer skills. They do not appreciate that the date and time zone information are really relevant to them at all.

    A favorite of spammers is to use a date in the future, so their junk is at the top of your e-mail list until you actually do something with it.

  • Bookmark icon does not appear on the top right corner next to the icon of the homepage

    Bookmark icon does not appear on the top right corner next to the icon of the homepage

    You see only the bookmarks Menu button if the Menu with the bookmarks menu bar is hidden (view > toolbars or Firefox > Options).

    If the bookmarks toolbar is visible, then the bookmarks Menu button appears in the bookmarks toolbar, among other items in the toolbar of bookmarks (bookmarks), but you can move it to the right side to the left side of the bookmarks toolbar if the window customize is open.

    If the bookmarks Menu button appears on the right side of the Navigation bar.

    Versions of Firefox 4 + have two buttons bookmark with a star in the window customize.

    A single star button has a marker to drop that open Bookmark menu.

    The other star button without the marker drop open bookmarks in the sidebar.

    You can drag the button customize menu bookmarks with the marker in the window in the palette of the toolbar on a toolbar (for example, the Navigation bar) or the tab bar or on the left side of the bookmarks Menu items.
