I'm trying to connect to a computer via bonjour that I know the address of, but the "connect to server" command is missing from the Go menu. I have file sharing turned on. I'm not sure what is wrong. Thanks.
Yes, it does work in a new account. It still doesn't how up in my usual account. It worked in a standard account, and my usual account is an administrator account. Could it be some sort of app conflict?
could be a bad preference file although i haven't seen this kind of effect from a bad pref file. in your main account delete the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. then control-option-click on finder in the dock and choose "relaunch". this will reset finder prefs to the defaults. see if it fixes the issue.
You probably used one of those "set hidden finder features" apps/utils, didn't you... naughty person you is... If you open up ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist with Property List Editor and see an entry for "ProhibitConnectTo", then thats the problem. Set it to false and save the changes. Then Control-Option-Click on the Finder icon in the dock and select Relaunch. When the Finder comes back up, Connect To should be available again.
If you don't want to edit the plist, you can also just drag com.apple.finder.plist to the trash, control-option-click on the Finder icon in the dock and select Relaunch. When the Finder comes back up, Connect To should be available again.
Note: Property List Editor.app comes with the OS in the Developer Tools package or you can use one of any number of plist editors available online.
