    Things which do not mix well (or at all): PowerPC edition

    Things which do not mix — either well or at all. I’ll start. :) A workbench/desk where a Mac disassembly is underway, when one gets tired for the evening and turns in without making sure all the tiny screws are properly secured away… …and a cat who, ever the opportunist, as cats are, knows...

    Behold! The Magic Sidebar!

    I always find the new Top-to-Bottom sidebar atheistically annoying since it was introduced in Big Sur. They just copied the sidebar from iPad and call it a day. What a lazy design. Now this happens: when I switch between two document tabs in a pages window, the side bar jumps between two modes...

    Finder Sidebar has document icons for most drives

    On my account upgraded from Catalina most of the drives on the sidebar show up as generic document icons. They all have custom icons on the desktop, but that was never an issue before. Another account on the same system does not show the issue. Catalina had had the issue, but it went away after...

    This would be a great option for me, if it's possible.

    Custom Bonjour Icon in Finder/Sidebar?

    Hey guys, I'm trying to get my Mac Mini to show up with a Mac Pro icon in the sidebar in both Bonjour computers and the network Finder window. It's sitting in an old G5 case as file/media server and I'd love for it to show up with the corresponding icon. I've seen some very old solutions that...

    Hiding Finder Sidebar with AppleScript

    So I'm trying to set up an AppleScript to open a single Finder window with specific view properties and it's working fine, except I can't hide the sidebar. The only instructions I've found online mention using "set sidebar width to 0" but this returns an error in Mavericks. I'm new to...

    Need iPhoto colored icons, please!

    I'm working on getting the colored sidebar icons back across my Mac and am just missing Faces/Places in iPhoto. Could anybody help? They'd be in .TIFF format inside the older versions of iPhoto (I'm not sure which) Update: Disregard ^.^ I managed to find them on an iLife '11 DVD! So many...

    App for Note in Sidebar

    I want an app in the sidebar that contains editable text. Basically, if there's five things that I want to do today, I want to add them into the sidebar and remove them when I've done them. I tried searching in the App Store, but I couldn't find such an App. Any recommendations?

    Sidebar icons appear as normal folders

    Hello, I made a clean install some weeks ago, and since then I am having an issue with the sidebar icons. They don't look as they should. Only the official folders I mean, check: Any idea how to fix this? I created a new account and everything looks normal there. That's strange.

    El Captain Sidebar in Favorites Missing

    I've got a real head scratcher (for me, anyways) with the El Captain update. I've had this update for well over a year, and have had this issue appear on multiple Macbooks so I know it's not just my machine. Ever since I have updated to El Captain, the sidebar in Finder that has your saved...

    Resolved Devices section not showing up in sidebar even after changing it in preferences

    I unchecked and re-checked whatever is in the Devices multiple times, but nothing changes. Tested it with the ones in Favourites; they get updated fine real-time. But not whatever is in Devices. I used Terminal to repair permissions. Deleted finder plist and the sidebarlists plist and...
