All folders on my iMac are in alphabetical order, however, when I save an item to a folder they are not. Why?

Thanks for helping BDAqua
No it doesn't.
If I go to that folder afterwards, it is all in alphabetical order.
If I am working in Quickbooks, Mail or QuarkXpress and go to a folder from those programs the folder is out of order and I waste a lot of time
searching through the folder looking for what I want. This never used to be a problem until the last couple of months.

Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

Just installed mountain Lion. Viewing a pdf sent to me using preview and some colors are appearing BLACK, however when I view the same PDF in Acrobat they are perfect and what they are suppose to be. WHY would PREVIEW showing a different color?

Here's what I've found on the issue:
Pantone color definitions have changed (coinciding with CS6) — they are now "Pantone+" (I think that's what they're called). The "+" apparently means they're now LAB colors. Lab colors are not properly displayed in Preview (or in Finder previews) — they display as black (as far as I can tell, in all circumstances). I'm sure it's a tad more complicated than that, but that's the gist.
Now the bad news — nobody seems to know anything about a fix or workaround (unless you convert your PDFs to process — this might be a fix for sending to clients). It causes issues for me in AI files — being able to view them in the finder (with previews) is a HUGE time saver for my workflow... when they're all black, not so much.
In my chat with a director of product dev at Adobe, they placed the responsibility to fix on Apple (assuming Apple wants to support Pantone color definitions in their OS).

If I photo just refers to the original photos in your home folder, how come that when i delete pictures in my home folder they are still in i photo?

I want to make more space and simply get rid of the pictures i don't want anymore.
I thought that I have to delete the pics in the original forlder becasue I photo is just a program that refers to the original folder, but apparently the pictures i deleted in the home folder, are still in my i photo library?
How is it possible and how can I synchronise these two libraries?

Couple of possibilities:
By default, iPhoto does not reference the photos, and so unless you made a change in the iPhoto Preferences, then photos have also been copied to the Library,a nd you've been keeping two copies all along.
To delete pic from iphoto, put it the iPhoto trash, empty it and then empty the system trash.
If you have been running a Referenced Library correctly, then you will need to delete the original file from your own folder storage as well. You chose to manage the files yourself.
There is no way to "synchronise these two Libraries". One is a database, the other is a collection of folders.

The songs I downloaded are not playing and i think I plugged in the wrong plug,however,when I try to reload them it says they are already purchased-what did I do

Please give me some advice-I plugged in the wrong end of my Ipod to the computer and the songs I purchased are not there,when I tried to repurchase them the computer said I already had them please help

How do you plug in "the wrong end of my Ipod to the computer"? The iPod only has ONE connection point, so how does it have a "wrong end"?
For the songs you purchased, can you find them in your iTunes music library (on the computer)?
If you try to re-purchase (spend more money) on a song you already purchased, the iTunes Store will kindly tell you not to waste your money buying something you already have. If you ever "lose" a song you already purchased from the iTunes Store, you can go to the iTunes Store Purchased screen and re-download the previous purchase for no cost. The link to Purchased is under QUICK LINKS on the iTunes Store Home screen.
If songs you purchased do not sync to the shuffle, it may be because the new songs are not part of the songs selected to sync to the shuffle.

I imported my favorites from ie and am unable to sort them with folders first and then individuals in alphabetical order

folders and individual are in alphabetic order but mixed together

That's the problem - when I begin to type www. all the pages that I visited in my PREVIOUS PC show up in a drop down list, whether or not I have a CURRENT bookmark for that web address. So even if I don't have a bookmark associated with one of the drop-down suggestions, it still is showing up I'm trying to figure out where that drop-down list resides - must be in some file somewhere. As I mentioned, any CURRENT webpages that I visit show up in the usual history location, and I can delete them no problem. Somewhere along the line when I imported former Internet Explorer bookmarks from my PC it came with this drop-down history list that I can't get rid of. It isn't a real big deal, but is annoying!

My Mac Mail subfolders on my MacBook Air will not sync in alphabetical order. I am assuming it is a setting that I am not finding since my iMac based at my home office is fine, so is my iPad and iPhone. The core source is Exchange.

If you have been using the mac.com Apple ID to make iTunes purchases recently, then there should be no issues continuing to use it with the new iPhone. I would abandon the new ID as you will never get Apple to merge the two IDs. I have had a mac.com ID for years and continue to use it with my iPhone 4S.
Tell us the issues that you encounter trying to set up the iPhone with the mac.com account.

WHY does the finder insist on rearranging the files in a folder in alphabetical order even when I have selected "none" in the preferences for file organization?

WHY does the finder insist on rearranging the files and/or documents in a folder in alphabetical order even when I have selected "none" in the preferences for file organization? Even after I numbered the documents/folders to keep them in my preferred order, it will still displace them occasionally. This is becoming increasingly frustrating!
Is this a "Pages" issue or "FInder"? The vast majority of documents I use are in Pages, but there are also Numbers, PDFs, jpegs and a few other applications involved. This never happened before I upgraded to Mountain Lion; in Tiger, the documents (mostly Appleworks) and files stayed where I wanted them to be.
I am visually oriented, and prefer to arrange items in a folder in an order that makes them easier for me to access, which is often NOT alphabetical.
Can anyone suggest a solution? Please??
Thank you.

nbar,
Thank you for your reply.
However, I do not understand what you mean by "user account." I am the only user, and can find no options for "user" or "guest." The parental controls have always been off, as there are no other people who have access to my computer.
Frank,
Thank you for your reply.
All my documents, files and folders are in icon view, Arranged By: none in both view and view options. This arbitrary rearranging does not happen all the time, only when I make a substantial change to one of the documents in the file or folder. I'm not sure what you mean by "column heading."
MichaelLAX,
Thank you for your reply.
I know, to my sorrow, that Appleworks does not work with Mountain Lion. I spent at least three months converting approximately 2,000 Appleworks documents to Pages, Numbers, Bento (for databases) and Touchdraw (for drawings). So this is not the problem; but as I said, I did not have this rearranging problem with Appleworks - the icons stayed where I wanted them to be. I still miss the ease and reliability of Appleworks, darn it!
Frank,
Thank you for your second reply.
I do have the Sort By: in view options as well as in view set to "none." The finder still insists on rearranging, but only when I have made a substantial change to a document in that file or folder.
Any futher thoughts?
xdab,
Thank you for your reply.
"Are you are using icon view, but for some reason the finder moves files around? is that the problem?"
YES!! This is exactly the problem.
"If this operation is successful then erase the original and rename the new one to the name originally chosen by the user."
This seems like a lot of trouble, especially as I often work on several documents at the same time.
"By the way, the finder has a "clean up by" menu that rearranges icons in one of the standard orders, there are shortcuts that produce the same effect, for example <option><cmd>1 sorts them by name. Is it possible that this shortcut was typed by mistake without you noticing?"
I do know about this "clean up by" option, and avoid it like the plague! So I doubt this is the issue, and I infrequently use keyboard shortcuts like this anyway.
Thanks all who replied. None of the suggestions seem to work, however. Any others out there?
Regards,
Sara

Greetings;
This seems to an ongoing issue (see related discussion link). We've been experiencing the same update lag since last Friday. The new additions to the Collection appear and are accessible in both the iPad and iPhone applications, but even though they additions appear in "Quick View", the material doesn't appear in the Collection itself. Apple is aware of the issue and is investigating. All the best...

My movies' audio isnt 5.1 as the description says. when I check out their info it says they are 2 channel. I have tried with two movies already and the audio description said Dolby 5.1

Actually, try this instead. On the apple tv, under settings > Audio > Dolby digital
Change it From AUTO (default) to ON
That worked for me. All my eyetv encodes have stereo and 5.1 tracks. For some reason the auto option forces stereo. Setting it to ON forces the 5.1.
Everything sounds nice again! It's just stupid that apple puts AUTO for the default and that setting results in stereo not 5.1.

When I have video clips on my timeline, they do not play in the monitor screen. I hear the sound track but can not see the image. To test if my new files are somehow the problem, I went back and used video files that I used successfully a year ago, and they no longer play in the monitor window. I hear the sound track, but do not see any video. Have I changed some setting that controls video playback in the monitor window?

Thanks for the follow up.
Missing in this equation were the version of Premiere Elements that you were using and the computer operating system on which it was running. But...
The deed is done. But.....Until now and after you went ahead and moved to version 12, we now learn what version of Premiere Elements you were using. We still do not know the computer operating system involved.
You just said Premiere Elements 10. Premiere Elements 10 is hit by a serious known display issue if the computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card. In this issue, the only remedy is to roll back the driver version to about May 2013. The description of the problem and how to do the roll back are described in one of the Announcements at the top of this forum. What video card/graphics card does your computer use?
On another front, Adobe will be releasing a new version of Premiere Elements any day now. No one but Adobe knows the feature set for the new version. That type of information is announced at the moment of release of the new version.
So the remedy to the problem that you presented in this thread could have been...
1. Rolling back the NVIDIA GeForce driver version to about May 2013 if possible (Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, may not be possible)
2. Move to another version of Premiere Elements (which you did)
I offer the above for consideration so that you can review your decisions. We are pleased to learn that Premiere Elements 12/12.1 works for you.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions and ask for clarifications, but remember that the answers are in the details.
Best wishes,

I plug my computer into my stereo and use the remote app on my iPhone to control it. How can I control my wires iPad with the remote app on my iphone when it is plugged into the stereo? they are different iTunes accounts.

I think this is probably a sign that your network could be better than it is.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

I recently lost my windows laptop due to a virus. I had backed up all files onto a drive(files only). However no itunes playlists. i have all my playlists on my iphone and pics etc however when im trying to sync to my new computer itunes deletes all data

I recently lost my windows laptop due to a virus. I had backed up all files onto a drive(files only). However no itunes playlists. i have all my playlists on my iphone and pics etc however when im trying to sync to my new computer itunes wants to deletes all data off of my iphone so i click cancel
i want to update to iOS 5 and still have itunes be able to copy my playlists from my iphone. for free. why does apple provide a recovery from iphone option?

If you have a backup, restore the ENTIRE iTunes folder to the computer. This restores the library and device association files. If for some reason you chose to only back up the media and not the entire iTunes folder, then the only option is to let iTunes wipe the drive and re-sync.

Hi,
You may open the original form in FormsCentral and toggle to “Page View” at the lower right corner. Adjust the page content to make sure no page breaks in this view.
