Before I upgraded to Yosemite I used to have like a sidebar where I could choose what ever I wanted to see...events, library etc. and now when I open iPhoto I see it very briefly and it goes away and I see the Events photos which I don't want. How do I get the list back?
thanks for any help.
Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)
Move the cursor to the left edge of the iPhoto window until it turns into this:
Then click and drag to the right to open the side pane.
If that fails delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
This will reset iPhoto to the "factory" settings with the side pane visible. Launch iPhoto, reset the various iPhoto preferences to what you had before deleting the file.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
You can use the keyboard shortcut option-command-S ⌥⌘S to toggle the Finder Sidebar on and off, once you got it back as described by Old Toad.
Or use the View menu in the Finder:
Missing side list.
