    Remove "Import from iPhone" from Finder?

    So I recently upgraded to Mojave and this new "Import from iPhone" and "Use Groups" options are getting annoying. Every time I right click to Clean Up or Show View Options or whatever, I'm slowed down by the fact that i now have to scroll though all of these options. What used to be a very...

    Terminal command broke Finder

    Hey folks, Finder remembers the size of every window and I created a mess with lots of different window sizes for different folders and disks. To get back to a more streamlined interface, I ran the following command to get rid of the .DS_Store files, which save the window size and position...

    Adding Shortcuts To Finder

    This is probably something simple. I hope. I have been trying to find out the answer to it since I got Mojave. Finder, in the left-hand column, gives me shortcuts to my drives and "Network." So when I want to access a folder on my desktop or Documents, or anywhere else, I have to drill down 5...

    Resolved How do I see pictures in Finder on Mojave?

    I open a new Finder window and choose the Pictures item in the sidebar. This shows one icon labeled Photos Library.photoslibrary. Double-clicking on this icon opens the Photos app. I would like to see all of my pictures in Finder and I thought choosing the Pictures sidebar item would show this...

    Mojave graphics issue/bug in Finder

    Hi there, has anybody experienced this too by any chance (see file attached)? The side bar appears completely blacked out and the folders appear highlighted in blue for no reason. I didn't highlight these folders myself. Or is this even a slight indication of an internal hardware issue? Note...

    How to get Mojave Gallery to be like Cover Flow?

    I REALLY dislike the new Mojave Gallery view and found the 'old' Cover Flow to be far more functional and useful, since it still had a list view underneath and allowed the customization of different sorting methods. Is there any way to get the gallery view in Mojave to look like the old cover...

    Finder menus not working since Mojave

    Hi - since updating to Mojave, I cannot open any of the Finder menus (nor the top left Apple icon menu when on the Finder screen). I tend to run my apps in Full screen mode, using swiping or a hot-corner to switch between them. But clicking on Menus when in Finder does nothing.. Any ideas...

    Has Finder QuickLook for JPGs improved in Mojave?

    Have been having issues with JPG QuickLook Finder previews since I got this laptop early this year (Macbook Pro 2017 15" 2.9 GHz currently on 10.13.4). Updated the OS several times from the version that came stock without any results. Was able to drastically reduce .CR2 preview load times with...

    Corruption of Finder?

    After uninstalling Skype yesterday to see if re-installing would help a glitch I've been having, I've found the Finder is not working properly. At first I couldn't click to open any Desktop files though they would open if I went through the appropriate app. Force Quit seemed to help that. But...

    Red button preferred behaviour

    I'm observing that each time a new app comes to the Mac platform, the behaviour of the red button is more like the Windows one: killing the app. This thread is on Mohave sub-forum for a reason: the last incorporated apps from Apple, like the Voice Memos app or the Home app, which come directly...
