Favorites Sidebar Finder?

Hey there,

If I have a Macbook Pro running Mac OSX El Capitan - version 10.11.2 retina.

And I have a problem with my Finder...

Which is, as my 'Favorites' in the side bar of the Finder first just completely disappeared and there were still there after (re) cheking out the boxes in the settings but did not move all of a sudden? So basically I just can't sort them in the sidebar! I already deleted the Finder preferences .plist, but that has not helped and now I'm really helpless... It is not a problem of 'great', but it's boring as *...

So I hope that everyone is able to help me

Thank you aleady

Best regards

Finder > view > Sidebar

Restart if necessary.

  • I have an old drive with my favorites Mozilla Firefox on what I need, these are Bookmarks Sidebar, to which I am referring. I searched for hours, but Pascal

    I am trying to load my favorites sidebar FF on my old drive to my new computer.
    Personally, I did not backup any kind of FF, but I guess that FF automatically as a result, it can load bookmarks in the sidebar on reboot.
    I tell myself that these bookmarks sidebar must be stored somewhere which can be accessed and loaded on the new drive.
    I can find previous sessions, but they don't have that some bookmarks saved, I have had hundreds before the computer goes dead.
    I run windows 7 on the old drive to the new computer has windows 8, do not know if that makes a difference.
    Really appreciate any help.

    OK, thanks for all the help, I have all sussed.
    I looked at my other computers and you see that the 8 .json files & 9 KB have been saved on my drive are very small and have only 10 or so brand book, they should be about 200KB.
    I have no idea why they saved so small, but something did not work.
    The data have been there all the time (even when he was little) but I was not aware of the size, that they should have been.
    The links above are very good and useful.
    I hope this helps others going down this same track.
    Thanks again for all the responses, I hope that this proves to be one very informative thread for others.

  • The Favorites went in the download window Finder?

    Hello

    I do a lot of photo editing and saving the photos, etc. And I noticed that yesterday trying to save a picture and the pop than the 'Favorites' part Finder Windows is gone.

    This also happens when I'm on Safari and try to download something, too. However, if I open a window in the Finder itself, they show. It's hard to explain, so here are a few screenshots...

    The Finder of normal window (note with desktop, Applications, downloads, Favorites etc.):

    Try to browse/save or load the window (it even happened here you try to download these screenshots!):

    Anyone know what's happening offshore and how to recover? It was fine yesterday, and then last night just changed by itself. I'm puzzled!

    Thanks in advance!

    Lisa.

    Bookmarks can be hidden or shown.

    Launch the Finder in the Dock.

    Move the mouse pointer the very right of the 'favourites' and hover.

    The option 'Show' should appear.

    Finder > Preferences > sidebar

    Make sure that the items under Favorites are enabled.

  • The Finder sidebar does not shortcuts to folders

    On my MacBook Pro mid 2014 running OS X 10.11.6 El Capitan, the sidebar of the Finder displays often only "devices" and "shared". It occurs randomly, sometimes it works for a day, then all of a sudden, breaks, and it is also randomly after a reboot.

    A related issue is perhaps that, in all of my native applications Mac, the "Open recent" menu is always empty. However, the questions are not directly related, which means that "Open the recent item" may work for at the same time, the sidebar of the Finder doesn't.

    I'm a developer, so a possible cause may be that I installed a bunch of third-party software that modifies the system and something went wrong. I use homebrew and MacPorts is used in the past. I would like to avoid a clean reinstallation because it takes so much time. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction? What damaged setting could cause this behavior?

    Have you checked it in the preferences? Sidebar Finder - preferences - and you can check or uncheck the items you want to see in the sidebar

  • Nothing in the worm 29 bookmarks sidebar. How to bring back my favorites?

    I have my favorites in folders. They are always in the bookmarks drop-down menu, but not in the sidebar. Nothing does highlight or shows by mousing over the Favorites sidebar area.

    Problems with bookmarks and history does not properly can be caused by a corrupted database places.sqlite file.

    You can check for problems with the database places.sqlite file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Hide the Finder sidebar permanently

    How do permanently hide you the sidebar Finder so that it does not appear in any Finder window? I'd be happy to be able to show when I want it, but not every time I opened a window.

    Like many Mac users (and pros in particular) I constantly work with several windows open simultaneously and having several identical side bars, taking up real estate is certainly not desirable. Frankly, have to hit command-option-s, everytime I open a window is a hack.

    When I press Command + Option + S to hide the sidebar, and I open a new Finder window, the sidebar is always hidden.  He returned in a new window until I chose to display it.  As far as I know however, there is no way to remove it permanently.  You can hide only, just like you can hide the sidebar in Safari.

  • Is it possible to open display 'signet' in a new window or a new tab instead of a sidebar?

    "When you click on the ' view your bookmarks" button on the menu bar, it opens a sidebar. I would try a new window or a new tab instead of the sidebar. I have the Tab Mix Plus add-on installed but I can't find this option.
    Thank you.

    This is the address of the Favorites sidebar, you have one also enter as a normal url address bar:

  • How to automatically hide Sidebar Bookmark when cursor not on it

    Hey all, I've just updated my firefox and there is one thing that is bugging me. I have the bookmark sidebar button on my bookmark menu. Previously I click the button and the sidebar introduced themselves and then once I removed my sidebar the sidebar slider would leave.

    Once I have updated the sidebar remains unless I click the x, press ctrl + b or click the button. Overall it's pretty boring and I appreciated that once I was no wriggling on the sidebar, it would automatically close the sidebar.

    IV checked the options and I don't see what I'm looking for, unless that iv just totally missed.

    Maybe that's the problem of two-very-similar-buttons? In the Customize dialog box, you cannot tell which is the Favorites sidebar button and drop-down list of bookmarks button. However, when you drag to a toolbar, the menu button drop-down has bookmarks in Word beside him. So you may need to drag one or both to find the one you want.

    Notice that the drop-down list of bookmarks button appears only when you use the Compact (orange Firefox button) menu. If the menu bar is displayed, this button is hidden (since you have a menu equivalent of bookmarks in the menu bar).

  • applications only in sidebar & Dock, not in the folder in my home directory

    Directory / Applications folder virtually empty:

    Button anchor and Favorites Sidebar Application reveal all applications properly and as expected.

    Should I worry that they are not in the Applications folder that I expect to find?

    How he managed to do this?

    The applications are in the Applications level hard drive folder, where are the folders in the library, system and user. There are a few applications that are installed in the folder of the user, but not much.

    You seem to agree.

  • New installation of FF 38.0.5 - same PC - search results in the sidebar Bookmarks slow - fix for this?

    Recently, I had to put my new Windows 7 64 bit Home premium HP PC back to factory with a system recovery settings. All on PC works just like before with excellent efficiency. I had to download the latest version of Mozilla Firefox and install it and the importation of saved bookmarks in my external hard drive NAS saved .json file went just as described. My Firefox 38.0.5 works well in all other aspects, but when I search in the field of the Favorites sidebar there is a huge lag once I typed one of the words in the title. My previous installation of FF 38.0.5 and other versions on the same PC were instantaneous in grown up faster response I could type the letter to nest in the word of proposed results. How can it be fixed as a complete uninstall and re - install of FF 38.0.5 makes no difference.

    It is possible to fix the current bookmarks to add in maintenance of places called. This could clean it up a bit and make it faster.

  • iCloud drive not in the sidebar

    Greetings!

    I have an iMac plus old (2007) and since I upgraded to El Capitan, a number of strange things have occurred, probably due to the age of my Mac.  One of these things is that my iCloud drive has disappeared from my sidebar.  There may be no correlation because it is recent and I upgraded to OS X a couple of months.  I first it disassembled in preferences and then mount it again.  No luck.  I disconnected iCloud and then reconnected.  Once again, no luck.  Anyone have any other ideas what I might try?

    Thank you

    -Chris

    I first it disassembled in preferences and then mount it again.

    Was it in the window of the system/iCloud preferences?  If it is then go to ➙ ➙ Sidebar Finder preferences and make sure that he has checked here:
