I already used the "Get Info" trick to customize all the folders that I wanted to change. The only things in the dock I wanted to change were the Applications and Utilities folders, and I used "Get Info" to change those. Finder does not honour my nice customized folders in the sidebar. It...

I have a complaint. Mac OS Sierra's Finder sidebar has monochrome icons and turns all the folders that look like folders into generic folders. I would like to have some way to stop that. Is that possible?

I changed the sidebar generic folder icon from a light grey one to an opaque blue one, and saw that the folder icons in the Finder sidebar changed to a darker shade of grey. I think what happens is that there is a setting somewhere in Mac OS that changes everything in the sidebar to greyscale...

You are right! I had changed the background colour of the location of the those icons and they appeared sepia presumably because orange plus grey gives sepia. That brings up another question, however. I changed some of those icons to full colour opaque ones (that I got from a Snow Leopard...

In Mac OS Sierra, the icons in the Finder sidebar with just the normal view are light sepia. If one saves a file, the cutdown version of the Finder window shows grey icons in the sidebar. I know exactly where the sepia ones are, but the grey ones are not in the same place. Where are the grey...

Doing that did change the Utilities folder in Applications, but did nothing to the sidebar. I did get the Downloads image to change by removing it and putting it back in, but not the Documents. The other folder items (All My Files, user account, desktop, Movies, Music, Pictures) were all...

The only dock icon that was a problem was the folder for Applications. I found that replacing that icon in the Get Info window for that folder that I got it to change. I did disable SIP first. I was unable to change the Utilities icon in the Applications window when I click the folder in the...

Using Mac OS El Capitan, I changed some system folder icons in /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources to full-colour folder images. For instance, I changed ApplicationsFolderIcon.icns to put a full-colour image on it rather than a silhouette. These images do not...

Why is it that synchronizing bookmarks is all-or-nothing? All sites do not work equally well with all browsers or all devices. Bookmarklets certainly do not work equally well with different browsers with different rendering engines. It would be much more useful if one could specify exactly what...

Is there any way to prevent HTML5 from automatically playing with SeaMonkey using a browser setting in about:config? Flashblock is not working well with YouTube, and its HTML5 videos start playing as soon as the page loads.

Is there a version of TinkerTool that works on those OSs? You can make hidden files visible with that.

You do not install iOS on a Mac. It is the operating system for iPads, iPods and iPhones.

Dropbox puts your stuff on a website? I do not think I want that. Can you select exactly what to share between devices? One example given is "Dropbox would like to access your photos." You cannot pick just one photo?

I really do not want to do that. Besides, it does not help with synching the bookmarks in my iPod to preserve them by copying them into Safari's bookmarks on the Mac. I want to control what folders I back up. Many of the bookmarks I have on Mac Safari are not suitable to use on the iPod...

Why does sync have to be all-or-nothing? Why is it not possible to synchronize some bookmark folders and not others? Why can it not be limited to going one way but not the other?

Report them to an antispam organization like sendusspam.com

Try Secure Empty Trash from the Finder menu. If that fails, it will not hurt to try repairing permissions.

If I try that link with Firefox, the only video item there is a Flash video. It is not mp4.

A combo update might fix that. I had a similar problem that was fixed by a combo update.

The App Store is used for iOS applications, not for updating Mac OS. You could allow Mac OS to update automatically, or go to the Apple update site to get the update patch files. I use these sites to get Mac OS update files: http://support.apple.com/downloads/ http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222
