Finder format changes every time - why?
Every time I open a Finder window, the format of the file structure changes. Sometimes it's icons, sometimes it's a column view, etc. Prior to Snow Leopard I never had this problem. It's irritating as all get-out. Anybody know if there's a fix for this??

Formatting changes every time I open the file?
I've been working on reformatting a slides from a previous presentation. I get one show all set, check everything and save. But when I open it again headlines are missing, text is too big for the boxes and sometimes a random image from another part of the presentation is on the master background.
Any ideas on why this is happening?
PatI don't think I can access the crash report? Excuse the ignorant questions I'm about to make am a relative tech novice.
Soo - as mentioned every time I open photoshop it crashes - it just says there's an error and the program will shut down and if there's a solution windows will notify me. Then nothing...
I've tried to look in photoshop files for the detailed crash report & the system event viewer but cannot find a file with those names. I've also looked in the windows files for files with those names but cannot find them either - so I don't know where to look.
Any guidance would be great. -
Hi, i'd like to make quite a simple website where the main text in the centre of the page changes every time the user refreshes the page in their browser. I assume i'll have to make one master, and multiple pages that are all the same except for the changes in the text, but i'm not sure how to make it so that every refresh directs to a different page and not just the home page? Is this even possible in Muse?
This is an example of what i'm going for: :: procatinator ::
Thanks!You can't do it with Muse alone. Would probably be fairly simple to do with a bit of Javascript. Check the widget directory as it is possible someone has made a widget for random content. If not, maybe I will make one this weekend. ;-)

How can you make an image change every time you refresh a page?

Like is there a certain script you can use?
Here's my website

ThanksCopy & Paste the following JavaScript code between the <head> and </head> tags in your HTML document, in Code View of course.
<script type="text/javascript">

I am trying to download a movie in iTunes and I was asked two security questions. They are different form the questions I chose and whenever I exit and try again, I see that the questions change every time. How can I reset the questions?
From a Kappy post
The Best Alternatives for Security Questions and Rescue Mail
1. Send Apple an email request at: Apple - Support - iTunes Store - Contact Us.
2. Call Apple Support in your country: Customer Service: Contact Apple support.
3. Rescue email address and how to reset Apple ID security questions.
An alternative to using the security questions is to use 2-step verification:

Desktop pic changes every time I restart the MAC since the new OIS update
Anybody can help with?
ewaller, thank you for your response and interest! at this moment i'm so happy seeing the correct hour on the screen that all that i want is enyoi it!!!
I live in Barcelona so, teorically my UTC is UTC + 2. During all this time with UTC the time has been changing every time i started the computer but without following a pattern. So one day the time was 30 min. ahead the real time, another day 2 hours before and so on... a bit crazy!
I have Windows installed on another partition, but I rarely started it.

FYI. You can prepend LC_ALL=C to a command to force English output. Example:
LC_ALL=C hwclock --debug
Could have saved you some translating
If you are happy with the clock set to localtime, great. I prefer having it set to UTC for a variety of reasons that have been discussed on these forums that I'll not repeat here.
The hardware clock is UTC
Your system assumed the clock was set to UTC
Time read from Hardware Clock: 04.22.2012 10:38:11
Hardware Time: 22/04/2012 10:38:11 = 1335091091 seconds after 1969
Sun April 22 2012 12:38:11 CEST -0.381791 seconds
The system shows your time as being two hours ahead of UTC. UTC does not have summer/winter time adjustments. I assume that you are one hour ahead of UTC, plus an extra hour of adjustment for summer.
The post I took this from was posted at 01:01:56 PDT (UTC-7). What time (your local time) did you make that post?
If it took you 20 minutes for the translation your hardware clock at the time would have been about 11:01. That is 10 hours ahead of me.
I am confused, because I expected it to be about 9. If things are working right, it should be 7.
Anyway, it would appear if the change you made fixed things then your hardware clock was not set to UTC. If you want to pursue this, I am glad to help. If not, I am sure we will be talking about clock settings this fall -
Ok when I install an app, even a free one, it always asks for my log in then takes me to the app. Never have problems with this unless my phone has an update, as soon as I install an update, my billing information get's messed up so it won't allow me to download or update apps. I've gone in to correct the billing information, which was only the security code from the back of my card, and it will not accept the changes. How do I fix this?

Every time iSync my iPad 2 with my computer it changes the port settings. Has anyone else had this issue?
When you sync the iPad, do you have mail settings configured to sync to the iPad? You could have different settings on your computer that might be affecting the email set up on the iPad when you sync.

i have a apple phone and a ipad Air, eveytime i buy anything on itunes or even something free or not free on the app store, i am forced to changed my password, as it says my old password does not work no more. if there is anything i should know of what is going it would be great.
For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,

Why does my finder display differently every time I open it
When I open Finder, it always opens it to a different size with different column widths that what I set. Can someone please help me understand how to save my settings so that I don't have to resize every time?
Thanks!
I don't want it like this
I want it like this, and I always resize but it doesn't always reopen like that the next time I open FinderDo a backup.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Re-launch Finder by restarting the computer and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

Time/date on my iPhone changes every time I sync with iTunes - any fix?
Hi All,
Every time I sync my phone with my computer, the time and date on my phone changes - it goes to one week behind, and about 10 hours earlier than it actually is. My computer calendar has the right time (NYC time zone), the calendar support settings on my iPhone are set to NYC time zone - what could be happening? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mariamsteinny,
So i went to the apple store to meet with an apple genius to ask him why my phone's time kept moving up 1 hour everytime I synced my phone. Well he said that he's never seen this problem before, and after a trying a reset and restore he let me exchange my phone. The problem is that when I went to sync my new phone the problem still persisted. They told me it was probably something to do with my computer and its time zone settings.
So I get home and click on my computers clock in the bottom right hand corner to bring up the date and time properties and sure enought my time is correct, the date is correct and the time zone is correct (Eastern Daylight Time). So I look through the different tabs (Date & Time, Time Zone, Internet Time). The first thing I tried to do was to change where my computer syncs its internet time. It was originaly set on NIST time. I then switched it to Windows time, but this didn't do anything. My clock would still change when I synced to itunes. The next thing I tried was fideling around in the Time Zone tabs. I noticed that the box that says "Automatically adjust clock for daylight savings" was unchecked, so I checked it and my computer's time jumped an hour ahead. So I left the box checked but moved my clock one hour back (to the correct time), clicked on apply and left it at that. I synced my iPhone and voila! The time didn't change! It stayed on the correct time! To to make a long story short, make sure that you computer's clock is set on "automatically adjust clock for daylight savings changes, make sure your time zone is correct, and that the time is right when that box is checked. I hope this helps you. I'm glad I got a new phone out of the deal;)

How do I keep my background from changing every time I log out an than back into my sign in?
My account is the head account for our iMac. I just added a sign-on for my brother an ever since adding him it never fails. Every time I log out and than back into my account my background goes to that ugly space swirly background as opposed to the pic of my daughter. I've never had this probably prior to adding that new account. And prior to this my husband has his own sign in and we also have a guest account. So, I don't know why this would be changing my background every time! Really frustrating! Thanks for your help!

If you log in automatically, a known bug will cause the desktop picture to revert to the default image at every startup. The only workaround is to disable automatic login in the Users & Groups preference pane.
Linc, I have seven user accounts on my machine and they all experience the same issue. What I have noticed is that if an account is the only one logged in the selected picture is retained. If any other account is logged in the next user to login sees the default desktop picture. Automatic login is not enabled. This leads me to believe the bug is not limited to automatic logins. It will be intersting to see what happens when 10.9.1 hits the street.
There also seem to be several other threads reporting this behavior. -
