In FINDER favorites can I reassign/edit the destination (properties) so that when I click e.g. on the "Pictures" link it takes me to my Pic folder on my external HDD instead of the default HDD in the iMac. I have twelve TB of data sitting on 2 Drobo devices and I do not intend to keep any data on the Internal 1TB HDD besides the programs. I know I can remove the current fav from the list and add a link myself but then I get an ordinary folder icon instead of the sexy camera icon. how can I change the icon on the folder.Â
I added some folders in finder sidebar a while back, and suddenly, they disappeared, such as the documents shortcut. When I try to put them back, finder removes it again.Also if I go to Finder - Preferences and try to check the documents shortcut to appear in sidebar again, the checkbox doesn't work. I'm pretty sure this happened after I synchronized my iPhone for the first time. How can I add favorites to the finder sidebar again?
In the Finder window you can create Favorites - folders you want easy access to. Now I'm ready to delete a few of these "Favorites". The Finder doesn't seem to want me to. It seems to want to trash the actual folders that these finder favorite aliases are pointing to. How do I delete a Finder Favorite?

I just setup a Seagate external drive to become my offsite backup. I am a new iMac user. I dragged and dropped my most important folders (using Finder) onto the Seagate drive (to copy them over) but probably I did something incorrectly because the Document folder which has all my important files disappeared from under Favorites in Finder and did not show up on the Seagate. I can no longer access what I need as there is no easy way to locate my files which were grouped in a multi level, nicely organized file structure under Documents, to make it easy for me to locate my work. Â
Now, Finder shows under Favorites: All My Files, Airdrop, Applications, Desktop, Downloads, Logins. Previously it also had an entry for Documents, now missing. Using All My Files I can locate the files I worked on yesterday, so they are still on the hard drive.Â
I had to restore my PowerbookPro from a back up, and my personal folder is missing favorits bar in finder. I can find my docs via the all my file option, but in previous mac OS personal folder option was easier.
I accidentally moved "My Pictures" folder from the My Favorites sidebar in Finder, and I can no longer find the folder. I've searched "all my files" for a My Pictures folder and nothing has come up, not even in the trash (that I haven't yet emptied). I am wondering if there is anyway of getting this folder back, as I had several pictures and folders organized within that My Pictures folder. All of my pictures are somewhere still on my computer but even they are hard to locate now without them being in any folder. Would be difficult to have to re-organize every single thing that was in that folder.
How can I get my "Favorites" from my PC onto my iMac. Have, migrated them successfully but cannot get at them so as to put them in my iMac "Bookmarks". I have migrated all my software and this is showing on my iMac. But I cannot get my Favorites or also all my emails and their folders to work on the iMac. Have been using Yahoo mail on the PC.
I find when opening Safari that the first screen that appears is the 'favourites' and i find this most irritating. How do I delete it or at least stick it somewhere it doesn't keep appearing and bug me.
I Do Not care for this huge box that pops up now when I do a search on Safari. I wish they would not have added this lame duck that always seems to be in the way. How to get rid of this albatross?
I will be using Time Machine to copy my iTunes and iPhoto to my new iMac (Lion) At this point I can't think of anything else at this time. My current iMac, 6.5 years old has the vertical line, monitor screen problem. Since the Mac is vintage, it's not worth the $$$ to fix. It also has some Kernal problems that I can't seem to trace to any download/program that is not SL compatible. In any event, we like Firefox!!! We like Yahoo!!! We have a lot of saved favorites on Firefox that we want to be able to put on the new iMac. How the heck can we do this? Is there a way to Time Machine a browser/bookmarks?........or any method?

I would like to add certain frequently used sites on the tool bar. I have been using Snow Leopard in the past and now I can't figure out how to do it with Mavericks.Â
I am really tired of the "Favorites" drop down pad showing up whenever I am entering a search in the URL bar on Safari. Is there any way to turn the function off? It appears that the preferences function only allow you to choose the files you want to show up, and the number. This function needs an on/off switch.
I am looking for the equivalent of the windows favorites folder in Mac. Can you tell me where all the links are stored. ( Like when I like a site I add to the favorites in Mac), where is the folder where they are stored?
We're using Mobile Me but I can't seem to get the Bookmarks to update from her iphone 3GS. Everything updates fine in Mobile Me. How can I get the favorites from out old PC onto this shiny new 27" iMac?
Am I missing something in the App Store or is there not a way to make a "favorites list"? I see so many apps I would like to use or at least read more about and not necessarily download right away. I don't see a way to add an app I like to any sort of list, perhaps an "App Wishlist". When you shop at just about any online store, you are offered the option to "Add item to Wishlist" or "Save for Later".Â
Firefox has been pissing me off lately, I wanna give Safari a go-around. How can I transfer my favorites. I saved my favorites from Firefox in the normal, .json format, but Safari doesnt not recognize that type of file.
how do I get my safari favorites from my powerbook (OSX leopard) to my new mbp (snow leopard)? Is there a folder that I go to & get them, then go to file import on safari?
