Imac slow to display folder content

Hi,
My Mid 2010 Imac 3.06 GHz Intel Core i3 with 4GB 1333 MHz RAM is currently having problems displaying folder content. As I am a photographer I am often opening folders of images and needing to view them and recently when I click on a folder or sub-folder the images can take upto a few minutes to display (making it look like the folder is empty). It only seems to happen intermittently.
I have already checked hard disk space and have 371 gb free space. I was also advised to look at the green coloured free memory segment in the pie chart on the Activity Monitor which was very small. Since closing lots of programs which were sat on my dashboard and also deleting some items off of my Desktop this has now improved and is running around the 475 MB mark. Despite this, the displaying of folder content has NOT improved in the slightest.
Can anyone help?
Many Thanks

Surprising that the RAM hasn't improved things. Once you've resolved the current issue I'm sure you will notice a boost in performance 12gb is ample RAM for most uses.
Before re-installing it is vital to have a backup of all your data so that you can restore in the unlikely event of a problem. Re-installing the OS will not delete you data, but backup - at any time - is essential. An up-to-date Time Machine backup or a bootable clone of your HD using an application such as Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! will do the job. Many on here keep both forms of backup.
If you do decide to re-install the OS you can do it from the Recovery HD. Restart holding down Command + R and from the screen with 4 choices select Re-install OS - you'll need an active internet connection and you might need to input your AppleID credentials to perform the install. It's a 4gb download so it might take some time, depending on your connection speed.

Content iView With out filter not displaying folder content

Hi!
I´m creating a ContentiView with out filter and pointing it to a document Folder, when the user access the iView this message appears:
http://oneworld.neoris.net:50000/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fDemaBanorte!2fDemoBanorteRol!2fHome!2fBanortePage!2fContentiViewWOFilter/documents/BanorteDocuments
The folder you are looking for has no displayable content.
You can try one of the following:
Access the folder using the Navigation user interface.
Access the folder as a Web folder. Your operating system and browser dictate whether or not this will work.
And when I click on "Access the folder using the Navigation user interface." then I can see the folder structure and its contents really nice.
is there a way to configure the iView that allways display the content this way with out the user clicking on the "Access the folder using the Navigation user interface." option. ?
Thanx in advanced!

Hi,
I resolved the problem using a KM Navigation iView, this iView has the functionality I was looking for and this displays the folders and then the content of the folders if we click on the folder. with the edit etc etc functionality.

Displaying "Folder Content"

Hi Gurus,
In a request, we need to display a list of files (word document and so on) from a folder associated with any record returned (so not in the catalog, nor in a blob).
Is it possible to do that (through some html code or any "trick") ?
Regards.
Jean-Pierre Hoedenaeken

Disclaimer: I don't have a definitive answer!
Maybe create an entry in the physical layer with type of 'stored proc' and use the PL/SQL in the procedure to interact with the file system to get what you need. You'd need to turn caching off for this 'table'.

Display the content of the folder

Hi all,
I have written a recursive method to display the entire content of the particular folder.
public void showDetails(String f) {
 try {
 x = new File(f);
 files = x.listFiles();
 for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
 System.out.println("The filename is " + files);
 if (files[i].isDirectory()) {
 System.out.println("Foldername ->" + files[i]);
 showDetails(files[i].toString());
 } else if (files[i].isFile())
 System.out.println("Files name ->" + files[i]);
 else
 showDetails(files[i].toString());
 } catch (Exception e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
method name : showDetails();
Example Input : d:\jdk1.3.1_06
Example output : bin\*.*
bin\examples\*.*
bin\training\*.*
demo\applets\*.*
demo\jfc\*.*
. and so on
Current output : bin\*.*
bin\examples\*.*
My problem : If I execute the method, it displays the content of the first folder and its first subfolder . But I need to display entire content , (i,e) just like out windows explorer.
Could any one please help me...
If you couldn't understand the above problem, Please do inform me, I will tell in more clearer way.
Thanks in advance.

You are using your method recursively. Then the variables x and files should be local in this method, e.g.
File x = new File(f);
File[] files = x.listFiles();If these variables are declared outside, they are overwritten during the recursive call and could produce the described behaviour.

How do I display the contents of a folder?

I am creating a technical resource CD including many
different kinds of media.
One such area is support files. These are several files that
customer might want to copy to a directory on there hardrive. I do
not want them to have to click on and save each file.
I have added a folder and files in the baggage file area.
How do I create a Hyperlink (or some other kind of object)
that when clicked on lauches Explorer displaying the contents of
the baggage folder? It does not matter if it is a frame or if its a
pop-up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a thought:
You want the user to see a directory -- i.e., Contents -- of
the separate volume, and you're looking for a way to open Windows
Explorer.
I would merge everything into a WebHelp package or CHM on the
CD. The main TOC functions as a substitute for the Windows
directory tree.
I guess you don't want to go to the trouble of merging all
that stuff into a WebHelp or chm package.
Rather than trying to open a directory in Windows Explorer,
open a new browser window with a single .htm file showing text
links that mirror the Windows explorer directory.
To keep it simple, you could list folder names and indent the
contents, simulating an expanded TOC.
Make it more complicated by having one htm file with all
directories closed, and another file for each directory, expanded
to show contents. A "back" link, in effect, goes up the directory
tree. For a little more trouble, if you have, say, six
sub-directories, make their surrogate TOC pages identical, with
closed directories, except the relevant one is expanded. Clicking
the base of another "folder" is, in effect, going up the tree.
How you distinguish between a CD holding the bonus material
vs. a directory on the hard drive, I'm not sure. Maybe the original
link would have an option: Go to the bonus on a CD, or go to the
bonus on the local drive.
Perhaps it's not what you're looking for, or too much
trouble. Just tossing out an idea that you could refine or reject.

Setting up to View Folder Contents in Browser

I have placed 40 jpg images in a folder on my web site. How
can I let visitors view the file names (folder contents) &
select an image by name.
I hate to have to make a page & enter all 40 image file
names with links to the files. Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks,
Dennis

You could enable directory browsing in the directory, but
then you'll
need to accept the rather ugly server default index page. If
it were me,
I'd write a short script that read the directory and
displayed a more
attractive listing. How you would go about that would depend
on what
server scripting language(s) you have available on the
server.

This layout shows a folder tree on the left, a document list on the right. When you click on a document from the list it shows the contents of the file on the bottom of the iview.

How to display the content of a file in the portal?

Hey guys, could anyone help?
I just created a page which includes two iView, one is KM Navigation iView to display a certain repository, while the other is for displaying the content of a certain file I click in the navigation iView.
And now the problem is when I click a file in the KM Navigation iView, it will pop up a new window to display it. How can I make it displayed in a fixed iView, which type of this iView should be?

CS6: How to display image contents while dragging/resizing?

CS6 Illustrator, Windows 7 64bit
Hello all,
I'm a IT tech trying to help out one of my users, so I am not proficient in Illustrator by any means. With that being said, I was wondering if there is a way to display the contents of an image while you are dragging or resizing the image?
Thanks, Shaun

It should already show the outline of all the shapes while moving or resizing. As far as I know, you can't see the full color image while doing transformations. It would be unusably slow for some images.

Problems displaying mailbox content in Lion Mail

OK I give up, and need help. I have 10.7.3 installed on a late 2011 Macbook Pro 13" with 8gb of ram, running Mail 5.2.
I have tons of mail in various mailboxes, like 38 different mailboxes, with 39 sets of rules. Some folders have 2000+ messages, but most have a couple of hundred in each with my inbox having about 200. The issue is when I launch mail, and click on a mailbox, it can take up to a minute and a half to display the content. Then I click on a different mailbox, it takes another minute or so. Finally, I click on the previous displayed mailbox, and even though the data had populated a short time ago, it takes up to another minute and a half to display anything. Originally I did an upgrade to Lion when it first came out from snow leopard, subsequently, I did a clean install on my 15" 2007 MBP with 3gb of ram, and it did not help. I have been having this issue since the upgrade when Lion came out. Then in February of 2012, my son went to basic training for the Army, and I took his 13" MBP to use. I swapped hard drives, did an erase and reformatted with my drive (Hybrid 500gb SSD/regular SATA Drive) and did a clean install on my sons MBP, used the time machine to migrate all the data back over, and the problem continued. I waited for the indexing to stop thinking that would fix the issue when done, but nope. I have been a mac user since the early 80's and had an Apple IIe, so I feel a little defeated with this, but I have no idea what to do. Some of the things I have tried:
1. Repair permissions
2. Reinstall Lion again (not clean)
3. Deleted preferences, reindexed mbox files and data.
4. Clean Install of Lion and migrate.
5. I give up...
Bill

It does not solve the problem, but may help for a future upgrade. I have been playing around with this, and note that if I select one storage folder for sent messages on my MAC, then select "classic layout" in the Mail preferences, then delete the field "From" from visualisation while leaving "To", then revert back to new layout (i.e. un-select classic layout, the messages are displayed as I'd like them to, i.e. with the "To" field.
BUT as soon as I click again on any other folder, say "Inbox" and then come back to the storage folder, the "From" field is there again and I only can see myself as the sender....

Bookmark drag down list difficulty-folder contents overlay folder list

Previous Firefox versions: Bookmark folders drag down in column list, contents of each folder appear in column to right of the folder list, similar to arrangement of an outline page with each subcategory tabbed over.
New version: Contents of folders appear as I scroll down through the folder column, preventing me from seeing the next folder in column. E.G. As I scroll down past "Business" to get to my "Travel" folder, contents of business folder open on top of the main folder column preventing me from dragging down further to Travel.

I do agree. Mine is not *perfectly* fixed neither. When the folder’s contents list is wide and contains subfolders, the cursor needs to go completely above or below those subfolder’s contents to be released from displaying it. I can readily imagine how yours is not practical.
But mine is decent enough that I am going to live with it for now, hoping that the prior functionality (which is normal behavior IMO) is restored in an upcoming release.
Trying to describe this gives me a newfound appreciation for those who practice the craft of technial writing.

Layout Set : Show Folder Content

How can i show the contents of folder in main page if i use AdminExplorer or ConsumerTreeList layout set.
What i am looking is to display the content in the main page rather than clicking on folder link which takes to next page with contents.
For e.g
Folder A                  Size   Modified Modifiedby
    Document1              30KB 1-mar-06 user1
    Document2              30KB 1-mar-06 user1
Folder B
    Document1              30KB 1-mar-06 user1
    Document2              30KB 1-mar-06 user1
I appreciate any suggestions or ideas.
Thanks

Using iMac as external display with MBP, can this be done?

I know...
This has been posted before, but I have as of yet not found a straight answer. Mostly peoples recommendation is: "Buy a display".
However, I have an older iMac, 20" and I have a newer MBP 15". The MBP has a faster graphics card, better processor and more RAM. But I still like sitting at the table using my iMac, because the comfort of working is better this way.
Now seeing that I have both, is it possible to connect the two, and use the iMac for a display? Preferably without having to buy a whole lot of expensive cables, applications or do strange hacks risking hurting myself or my computers
Thanks all
Have a nice day

but I have as of yet not found a straight answer.
I think you are getting the straight answer. You need "buy a display" because a display has a video input port. An iMac has a video output port, but NO video input port. Therefore, you cannot use it as an external display, like a regular display.
You could give the iMac a video input using a USB interface device, but the cost of such a device that would provide good quality video into the iMac would cost about the same as (or more than) a low cost LCD display. And it would probably not be ideal in terms of performance.
You could also use this clever program to use a fast network connection and VNC to display the MacBook Pro's second screen on the iMac screen.
http://www.screenrecycler.com/home.html
In your case, the program will create a virtual screen for the MacBook Pro and shares it with the iMac in much the same way as the +screen sharing+ feature. Disadvantages are relatively slow image refresh rate (because the signal is going over the network) and the need to have the iMac turned on and running separately. The speed part will not be that bad in your case, if you use a Cat-5e or better Ethernet cable to connect the two Macs, so that you will have gigabit speed. You can give it a try at no cost to see if it is an acceptable solution (in time-limited demo mode).
I use this program to give my iMac a third display. The +third display+ is an old PC laptop running Linux (Ubuntu).

Using iMac as external display on MBP (Lion)

I'm trying to use my 27" iMac as the external monitor for my MBP, both running Lion. I saw an article (support.apple.com/kb/PH4469; seems to be unavailable now) and said I just need to hit command+F2 once the computers are connected (using thunderbolt to thunderbolt cable). However, Command+F2 doesn't appear to have any effect.
Please advise.
TIA,
David

Been using Macs since classic. Using MBP, OS 10.7.5. Trying to figure out how to print/save folder contents (Name, Date Modified, Size Kind) of entire (non-visible) folder? Any apps that can do this?

Been using Macs since before classic. Using MBP, OS 10.7.5. Trying to figure out how to print/save folder contents including what's not visible on screen (Name, Date Modified, Size Kind) in entire folder?
Screen shots are getting old hat.
Tried select all, copy, paste into pages, but it didn't display date modified, size & kind, and also included images of selected files, which is too large.
Any apps/shortcuts/utilities that can do this? Thanks in advance.

Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.
