MacBook Pro :: Places List Can Be Cleared Out?
Nov 19, 2010
When I select a picture to save, it brings up the 'save' box, but takes a short time to allow me to do anything while it compiles a list of files under the 'places' tab on the left. I wouldn't normally mind this, but it takes about 30 seconds or so, and as far as I can see (through searching in the finder), all of these files were deleted a long time ago. Is there any way I can clear this list, or if they are still on my Macbook, how can I find them!

OS 10.5.8 on MacBook Pro
I burnt a DVD this morning - two actually as the first copy had a 'verification' error. When I was finished, I dragged the burn folder (folder icon with the radioactive symbol on it) from the desktop to the trash. Later in the day, I emptied the trash.Same as I do about once a week. Despite emptying the trash and restarting the computer, the folder still shows up in the list of places in the left column of an open finder window.
The folder is not on my desktop and is not in my trash, just in the list of places. When I try to click on the folder in the list, I get a message "The Volume for ..... cannot be found". In the past, dragging the folder from the desktop to the trash, emptying the trash and then restarting has always removed it from the list of places (and I believe similarly when I have software updates via .dmg files). So the questions are: (1) how do I get rid of it now and (2) what could have caused it to happen.

I can't remove items from the "places" list in the sidebar in 'Finder'. When I try to drag a folder I've put in there out, it just comes back.

In my calendar I get an error message "Server Responded with an Error - Access to account "Gmail" is not permitted". This is an old account which I don;t use. I have deleted the account in the system preferences, but the error message keeps appearing in calendar and I cannot clear it. At the moment i can't use calendar or access calendar preferences to see that the account has been deleted. Yet another error which has cropped up since Yosemite.

I accidentally cleared a playlist on my iPhone 4s. When I synced with my iMac, it actually cleared my playlist in iTunes as well. I thought syncing was always from the mac to the iPhone, not the other way around.Do I have a setting on that I shouldn't?

So about a week ago, apple mail stopped sending emails from my gmail account. I figured it would work eventually so i just looked into gmail when i had to send. cause I still received gmail in apple mail. just now i decided to remove and put gmail back in. When i did this, my gmail inbox still had all the emails. when i turned apple mail off and back on, my inbox was empty!! yes they're still in the gmail page, but i want them back in apple mail! and no my outbox still isn't working. actually wait, isn't apple mail supposed to automatically load all my emails when i put a new email in?

My cache was accidentally cleared last night (I was working on cleaning my computer out, d/led Cocktail and I guess it did it automatically) and all my settings were reset. Everything has been put back to normal, except for my Photobooth-- it won't show any of the old photos taken in the app itself! It just says "No Photos", even though all the photos still remain in the user/Pictures/Photo Booth folder. When I take a new photo, it shows up in the folder right next to the old one so I don't know what the probem is.Â
Is there any way I can make the photos show back up in the application? None of the folders are locked. Stupid Cocktail.

I am still relatively a new Mac user (5 months so far). As per my sig specs I have 4g RAM in my MacBook. I use istat and I am always aware of my RAM usage.After I installed FF3, I noticed my RAM usage has gone way up. I also tried FF2 after and it still was up in usage.Even when I have FF closed I still have 1g of RAM being used. I then noticed in activity monitor that kernel_task is using 232 mB of RAM right now. What is it and what is it doing?I have installed ONYX and cleared all caches, etc It seemed to have help for a few hours, then the RAM usage has crept back up.

I've tried to troubleshoot this before. I've backed everything up on Time Machine, did an Erase/Install. Purchased MacKeeper. I restarted computer pressing shift key, then restarted computer to clear out any accumulated junk files. I've been running Virus Barrier for more than a year, and all filters are up to date. But it's getting worse! It used to happen once a day...today it happened 3 times. I thought it might be related to Chrome, but this morning, all I had open was Mail...
This is what happens: In whatever application I'm in, usually Chrome, after some action, sometimes just loading page, the rainbow time spinning wheel appears. Spotify stops playing music (though there is not window warning that I've gone offline or anything like that); I wait, wheel keeps going, I clicked on other open applications, they appear fine, go back to application with spinning wheel. I open force quit; I force quit application, it appears to quit, but then everything becomes unresponsive.
Eventually I try to force quit all other applications, they appear to close, but don't really, then Finder becomes unresponsive, I try to Relaunch Finder, until I only can stare at empty desktop. The only thing that works is pressing button at back of computer to force it to shut down and restart. From past personal experience both at work and at home (am a designer, so always use Macs)...a computer that keeps crashing this way, eventually becomes damaged and has to be brought to store for repairs. This computer is only 2yrs old.

Bit of a newbie here with my MBP. I imported my photos from my iPhone to iPhoto, but they don't show up in Places. I wasnt connected to the internet at the time. Will this matter? What am I doing wrong?

I am getting these black border boxes around my web pages, text input boxes, around some of the icons on my desktop, widgets, and small sections of different websites around the screen.Â
When I typed this message there was a box around the text input section, after I scrolled down the box stayed in the middle of my screen (this time not around a particular section). All the other stuff on the screen scrolled up and the box remained in the same place.

I was reviewing audio books on my wish list and the list just became empty. I have stopped and restarted iTunes and I have manually re-logged into my apple account but the list keeps coming up empty. I have tried both the shortcut on the top right and from the drop down on the top left but nothing. Is this a temporary issue with Apple..I'm on a Mac running OS10.9.4 and iTunes 11.3.1Â

I'm finally experiencing the first official problem with my MacBook Pro of 2.5 years. The Finder shows too many Places! Like it has double of everything: 2 Desktops, Applications, Documents, Movies, etc. There's a screen shot in here as an attachment if it helps.

I opened Finder and found a folder titled untitled DVD under the "Places" arrow. When I click on it it does nothing. Nothing appears on the right, nothing. Is it there because an application created it and the app needs it or do I have a glitch and it's going to be a pain to get rid of it if it's not needed? I have installed Toast 10 a few days ago.

It seems like macmall and other places where I would typically buy a new mac are just not budging on prices like the used to. Is anyone finding anywhere that will actually deal with you, especially if you want to buy multiple computers?

I'm also not sure right now if it shows up under devices or places, but yeah. My Windows XP laptop does automatically show up in finder when its connected to the internet, my desktop windows 7 PC however, does not. I can connect to it manually through cmd + k and the IP. All 3 things, PC, Laptop and Macbook are on the same network, but only with the Laptop it works like that, not with the PC. Is it maybe, because on the Windows 7 machine I need to use my username to connect? Is there no way to make it show up automatically in the Finder sidebar?

The new iPhoto supports Geo-tagging. Apple page says,
"This feature uses data from GPS-enabled cameras or the camera on iPhone to categorize photos by location and convert GPS location tags to common, user-friendly names."
Knowing nothing about how camera Geo-tagging works my question is if I buy a camera with a GPS built in how do I know iPhoto will read the location data. I was looking at the P6000 from Nikon but I have no clue if iPhoto will understand the lat/long data in the file. I called Apple and asked if they had a supported camera list and the two people I spoke to did not know what camera(other then the iPhone) were supported. Is the lat/long data from the iPhone pictures stored in the EXIF data or stored in some other way? Is the Geo-tagging of digital images by cameras a standard format?

is there a way to backup iPhoto's faces and places? I'm looking to transfer to a new mac and don't want to go through the long task of tagging my photos again. I don't have a time machine setup or a hard drive free to use with time machine.
