How to reset all the icon spacing etc in Finder back to default?

I have tried to set back to the default values but it's still isn't quite the same as before -- the horizontal spacing is correct but not the vertical one. Is there a way to reset the icon spacing as default?
Thank you.

Your not done... That will set the user defined defaults back to the Apple defined defaults. To get your folders to use the Apple defined defaults, open up a folder showing the wrong spacing and press Command-J to bring up the View Options window. At the bottom of the View Options window there is a button that says "Use as Defaults". Press the Option Key and the "Use as Defaults" button will change to "Restore to Defaults". Click the "Restore to Defaults" button and the folder will go back to the Apple defined default settings. You might need to Control-click on the window for the folder and select "Clean Up" to get things lined up. Good luck...

    The reset button does not work because when anything is entered in the operator field, and you press "reset", two events occur (1) a change is detected in the operator field and (2), a change in the reset is detected. Event (1) occurs first stopping the loop. The reset case is thus never reached.
    One solution would be to sense the reset state in the "operator" event. You need to keep the loop running if reset is pressed. (See attached modification.)
    Some other suggestions: Notice that I also made a data dependency between the case structure and the while loop. Without this, there is no guarantee that the case structure executes before the while loop and you might generate a race condition with unexpected results. I also re
    moved the timeout event, it doesn't seem to do anything. The three text fields should be set to "limit to single line" in this application so fields can be finished by hitting the enter key).

  • How to reset all the calendar events?!

    Hi everyone, two days ago i signed in into my iCloud account using a friend's mac computer, at tha sametime all my friend's iniformation was transfered to my iCloud account, now the problem is that i signed out and deleted my account of his computer and my iPhone still has all his information, including all his calendar events!!! and now i can't delete the events in my iPhone even if i use my iCloud account, i don't want to delete each event one by one. Please help me!!!

    Of course it transferred his data - what did you expect, it's a syncing service.
    If it has added separate calendars then you can control-click (Mac) the calendar and choose 'delete' or delete it on the iCloud website (select the calendar and click the delete button which appears).
    If there are cases where he has a calendar the same name as one of yours and the events have therefore been merged into that calendar you can only delete them one by one.
    The only other option arises if you have Time Machine and can restore iCal to a pre-mess stage. You will need to delete all the calendars off iCloud first, and when you restore them you will find the sync process promptly deletes them again, so you will need to follow the procedure outlined in this page:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/icloudtm.html
    Please follow the instructions absolutely exactly. All this will of course remove any events you've added yourself since the TM backup you are using.

    Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
    As IO said before:
    You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    I do not think it included audio books.

    Your only option at this point is to connect the device to a computer running iTunes so you can restore it.

    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

    Be aware that photos should always be synced to a computer for archiving and that relying on a restore from an icloud backup may not return all (or any) of your photos.  Once on the computer, you can sync the photos to the new device...

    Don't reset anything, just connect it to iTunes. If you don't have iTunes on a computer, then find someone who does, turn off auto sync, then connect your iphone and click 'check for updates'. iTunes will download the update, then update that software to your phone. Before you update though, I'd make a backup, just to be on the safe side.

    If you have you have reset Firefox then a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, form data) is automatically imported and the current profile folder will be moved to the desktop to an "Old Firefox Data" folder.<br />
