Organize finder without using the Arrange symbol?

Ok, i don't use mountain lion very often, but when i do and when i use the finder, i can no longer use the finder to find things as easily as in all previous incarnations. the finder is dead set on one specific view, i can only change the arrangment by using a symbol with the word arrangment on it. this is a very disturbing multistep process and makes finding specific items on the computer a near impossibility. I must confess ignorance as to why the finder works properly for some folders, but not for others.
more importantly, i cannot describe to my wife how to find things by rearranging the view order on an icon in a different section of the computer screen than from where she is looking if she is in one of the folders lacking this basic functionality.
Is there a way to restore computer functionality by making the bar above the files clickable evrywhere for all folders?
I fail to see the logic of making the finder so difficult to operate. Am i to be encouraged to seek out some third party application to restore one of the most basic organizational resources or is this a bug specific to something wrong with the computer?

the arrangment is whatever i choose under a far separate icon in the finder window named arrange. clicking on the finder bar column itself does not allow the same accessible changes to happen. it is difficult to discertain which folders this affects, the applications folder definetly, there are several other folders which now seem hidden altogether.

  • Is it possible to force 16/32-bit stack alignment without using the optimizer?

    The compiler emits code targeted at the classic Pentium architecture for the -m32 memory model.  I'm running into problems mixing Sun Studio compiled code with code built with other compilers because the other compiler builds under the assumption that the stack is 16-byte aligned.
    The only way I've found to force Sun Studio to comply with that restriction is with -xarch={sse2a,sse3,...}, but this causes the code to pass through the optimizer.  As noted in the documentation, if you want to avoid optimizations you must remove all flags that imply optimizations -- that is to say, there's no way to disable optimizations once enabled.  This should not, however, be treated as an optimization because it's an ABI requirement.
    I've scoured the documentation, spent many hours googling, digging through forums, and asking questions.
    The best I've come up with is the -xarch option which is sub-optimal because it has side effects.  I tried -xchip=pentium4 (this is what my other compilers have set as their default target), but the generated code doesn't force 16-byte stack alignment.
    Is there a way to force the compiler to emit code conforming to a different ABI without using the optimizer?
    -Brian

    Thank you for your response.
    I hope you won't mind my asking: do you have a way to prove that it's not possible to force 16-byte alignment without using the optimizer?  I ask because your username / profile don't give the impression you work for Oracle, so while I think you're probably right it's at least possible that we're both mistaken.  I haven't been able to find any documentation on either stack alignment or altering the targeted ABI short of using the -xarch flag, and even there the details are fairly sketchy.

  • Transfer photos from one imac to another without using the cloud or photostream.

    Hi,
    I've got 4,389 photos in my iphoto library on my new imac. Most of them are personal but a few maybe 500 are from my work. I need to get the personal photos safely out of this iphoto library permanently and onto my old (now personal) computer.
    How can I do that without using the cloud or photostream? I've tried using these things in the past and I simpl can't understand them. I got into an awful mess with them and completely confused. I would prefer to just put the photos I want to transfer onto a USB stick or external hard drive and transfer them that way. The problem is I can't understand how to do that!!! I've no problem transferring other files in this manner I just can't figure out how to do it in iphoto.
    I'd really appreciate it if someone could explain this in a simple way to me.
    Thanks end Regards,
    Valerie.

    It's in the Pictures folder, what are you finding so difficult:

  • Is it possible to create a DVD in iDVD without using the themes they provide?

    Is it possible to create a DVD in iDVD without using the themes they provide?

    Hi
    No Menu DVD
    from. Mishmunken
    How to create a DVD in iDVD6 without menu (there are several options)
    1. Easy. Drop your iMovie in the auto-play box in iDVD's Map View, then set your auto-play item (your movie) to loop continuously.
    Disadvantage. The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
    2. Still easy. If you don't want your (auto-play) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the drop-zone (text needs to be black as well).
    Disadvantage. The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
    3. Still quite easy but takes more time. Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
    Disadvantage. One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
    4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software. Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn.
    Disadvantage. you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
    5. The "hard way". Post-production with myDVDedit (free-ware)
    Tools necessary. myDVDedit ( www.mydvdedit.com )
    • create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
    • Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
    • Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
    • Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
    • Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
    • Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned. If it works save and close myDVDedit.
    • Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager.

  • I have adobe acrobat 11 reader writer I want to use the pointer symbol on full screen instead of the hand, iwas able to do it on adobe 10 also when in full screen i can't open attachments unless i right click and open it then it boots me out of full scree

    I have adobe acrobat 11 reader writer I want to use the pointer symbol on full screen instead of the hand, iwas able to do it on adobe 10 also when in full screen i can't open attachments unless i right click and open it then it boots me out of full screen is there any way i can click on the attacment without going out of full screen

    I don't know why the change, but the pointer appears in the same way as it does on the main screen, not a pointer. There does not appear to be anyway to change it. You may want to submit a comment to the Features Requests: Acrobat Feature Requests. I also submitted this as a bug.
    As a clarification, your "adobe acrobat 11 reader writer" is not informative. There is Acrobat 11 and Reader 11. Writer is not a product as such. So you have referred to Acrobat in a contradictory manner. In the future, please just indicate Acrobat 11 or Adobe Acrobat 11.

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
    Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
    All of your help is much appreciated, thanks

  • Hello! I'm out of the country and all my iWeb information is on my computer at home. Now I need to make changes on the webpage... how can i do that without using the computer i made the page on? Thank you!!

    Hello! I'm out of the country and all my iWeb information is on my computer at home. Now I need to make changes on the webpage... how can i do that without using the computer i made the page on? Thank you!!

    iWeb uses the domain.sites2 files to store its assets.
    You'll find it here :
    ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/
    where ~ is your Home directory.
    If you take a computer with you, you have to store that file in the same location.
    It's not different from taking documents with you if you want to edit them.
    A solution is to remotely control your computer at home.
    TeamViewer, LogMeIn, Apple Remote Desktop or any VNC application you can use, like "Chicken of the VNC".

  • If I buy the iPad 2 with 3g, can I use it on a wireless network without using the 3g?

    If I buy the iPad 2 with 3g, can I use it on a wireless network without using the 3g?

    I leave both 3G and Wireless permanently enabled. I find that whenever I am within range of one of my chosen Wireless networks it automatically uses Wi-Fi rather than 3G. When I am not my Ipad2 uses 3G.
    So in essence Wi-Fi takes priority over 3G.

  • Being author of an Apple-approved iBook am I allowed to promote my book via email or website, without using the iBooks Badge?

    Being author of an Apple-approved iBook, am I allowed to promote my book via email and wbsite without using the iBooks Badge?

    Yes  you can use email and if you a website/FB etc,.  you can  use the iBooks badge.
    Use this link to Apples link  maker     https://linkmaker.itunes.apple.com/us/?urlDesc= 
    Then find your book(s) and create one of three link option for use on websites.
    For  emails I would suggest use the  "text only" option  but  test the  other logo options also.
