Currently using OSX version 10.11.3.  Prior to downloading El Capitan I had all the options that I'd see on the  Finder side bar when I wanted to save a document. see screen shot:  and I could drill into sub folders which allowed me to be very specific to where I saved documents.  I now have a very limited number of options and I cant drill into sub folders see screen shot:.   I'd love if someone had a solution.  I went into controll panel but nothing stood out to correct it.

I'm having the strangest issue since updating to OS X El Capitan. My "Open File" dialogs show the sidebar but all my main (and useful) locations are missing. Take a look at this screenshot. This screenshot shows Keychain Access but this happens in Safari when I'm trying to attach a file to Gmail for example, or uploading an image to Facebook.  What I would like is for the sidebar to show my home directories, such as Desktop, Documents, Downloads, etc.  Help?

I have upgraded to 17.10 but I am frustrated that I am unable to drag a file say, from Files to a text editor that is minimised. In older versions I was able to drag it to the sidebar, hover over the application and it would open. Is there a way to get this to work in 17.10?

I'm trying to set up a Saved Search of my Mac that will exclude files in a folder called 'XYZ' from the search results. The reason is because I'm getting a ton of false positives from that folder that are difficult to sort through.  Just to be clear, I know you can add folders to a "Privacy" list in the Spotlight preferences, but I don't want to add this folder to that list --because I don't want to exclude it from all future searches, just this specific saved search. Any idea how something like this could be done?

I installed blender for the first time, so I have the latest version, 2.78c.  I played with it for a bit.  Then I discovered I couldn't save my work.  I uninstalled it and reinstalled it.  Rebooted.  Same problem.  After a little testing, I realized I CAN save to my NAS storage drive.  I cannot save on my C: drive.  Any project.  Any folder.  C: always fails.  If I run blender as Administrator, it will save to the C: drive.  But not as my normal userid.  So it sounds like a bug of some kind.  I am running Windows 10.  Bitdefender A/V.  I use OneDrive.  I have a 2TB drive installed.  All clean and purring nicely.  Is there a better way to install it?  Or some change I can make (other than always running as administrator)?    Sounds like a bug - but hopefully there's a proper solution.  Thanks,  Jerry

I have OS X 10.8, and there is an empty list of notes on my Mac. But I have some notes on my iPhone, which are not in iCloud. Instead, they are local notes in the "On My iPhone" folder. How to move them into iCloud?

Does anyone know the shortcut key to create a new folder in Windows Explorer and in Finder?  Also, does anyone know the shortcut key to create a new folder on the desktop?  (I'm using windows vista and mac os x)

Where does OS X store your current desktop picture? I read somewhere else that it was in /Library/Caches/com.apple.Desktop. But I don't have that directory.

When I download command line applications they are located in my ~/Downloads/ directory. But I feel this is wrong place to have a command line application located. Where in the Mac OS X filesystem should I store command line applications?  /Applications/ also feels wrong, it´s more for desktop applications. And /bin/ sounds more for applications that belongs to OS X.

It seems that by default there is no way to enter a whole path in the Finder, so instead one should traverse through all the tree to get somewhere deep in the filesystem. Is there anyway to overcome this problem? If there is no GUI for it in the Finder maybe launching it from the command line with the path? Something like:     $ finder /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/

Is there a way to acquire a copy of the El Capitan upgrade without downloading it first via the App Store, for example via a USB Drive? I know you can make a USB Drive after downloading El Capitan, but I am trying to skip the download itself.

I used to be able to color code each folder in Finder.   I know I can use tags in Mavericks, but is there a way to restore the ability to actually color code folders?  Thanks.

In File Explorer, I can enter search terms in the upper-right search box to search the current folder and all subfolders. I can also navigate the folder tree of zip archives like any other folders. However, if I want my searches to include files in a zip archive I have to navigate to the specific folder in the zip archive where the file is located. My searches never include files in zip archives if I'm not in the archive, and when I am in the archive my searches don't include files within the archive's subfolders.  Is there a way for my searches to include zip archive subfolders?

I just finished the huge download of Mac OS X Lion, started the installer, and now I have a problem. The installer says that I must have the GUID-Partitions Table Scheme.  The problem is that when I go into the disk utility, I can't change the format anymore, because I have Master Boot Record as type.  Can anyone help me, please?

The search box in the bookmarks bar only searches the bookmarks themselves, yet I have arranged the bookmarks into folders and subfolders. Sometimes I can't see the folder that I know I have, so I would like to do a search for it. Even if I find a bookmark that I have, onces it comes up as a result of a bookmark search, there's no way of finding out what folder it is contained within so I can get the other bookmarks - I'd like a similar function to Open Containing Folder.  I've had a look for an add-on to do this but the problem is the terms bookmark, folder and organise are too general.

How come Dropbox gets a non-generic icon in Finder's sidebar, when other directories like Google Drive and Sites (native in OS X before Lion) all have the same generic one?    How can I customise the icons used by the folders in the sidebar? OS X used to show individual icons of all folders there — not any longer.

I've been having a problem on my El Capitan installation for a few months. At unpredictable times, the system "unlearns" the programs associated with certain file types.  For example, I double click a PDF in Finder, and it tries to open it with Microsoft Word (which of course complains it is unable to open it). To fix, I have to [right-click -> "Open With" -> "Other..." ] a PDF file, go find Preview (which by the way is not even in the "Recommended Applications") and select "Always Open With", and then the problem goes away for some time.  For a while I thought this problem was limited to PDFs, and was somehow a bug caused by Microsoft Office.  However, just now I had the same problem, but the system defaulted to iTerm for opening hyperlinks! So when I clicked on a link inside an email, it caused an empty iTerm to be opened... To fix I had to create a shortcut to a webpage, then [right-click -> "Open With" -> "Other..." ] and select Firefox.  Would be glad for any help to restore sanity, or at least to understand what is going on!
