"Show View Options" not working

I had the background color set to a nice red in the main home window, but all of a sudden it turned white and when I go to the "View" in the top menubutton and go down to "Show View Options" I can see that red is selected but that whole section is greyed out and inoperative. I've seen this in several other windows as well but some still work. Lion 10.7.5. Any ideas?

Spoke to soon. The first item Arrange by has to be set to none to get background to change color. Thanks for reading anyway.

  • Open in Smart View option not working.

    Hey there,
    We have been having this problem for a few days now,
    We have Hyperion 11.1.1.3 on a UNIX Server,and when users try to open a planning data form using the "Open In SmartView" it never opens.
    All that it says is "Windows is trying to run some services do you want to wait?"
    The OS that's on the users systems is Windows 7 and the browser is IE8
    Please let me know if some one have a fix to this..
    Thanks

    It is likely protected mode in IE. As a work around you can disable protected mode and try it. This a know bug that will be addressed in a future release.

  • Show View Options (DEFAULT) DOES NOT work

    I'm pulling out my hair trying to get my Finder "show view options" to default. This worked fine in Leopard, but in Snow Leopard, the make "default" option doesn't seem to work. I'm using an erase and install version of Snow Leopard. I've used Cocktail and SWIPE to delete all DS_Store files and still it seems the default option won't work.
    I can choose my settings, then make default. Some folders will accept it and others won't. I've searched the web and see others with the same problem. Is there an easy solution? Switching through folders only to have different finder views is really annoying.
    Bryan

    Thanks KT-- I finally got it. After using Cocktail, DS_Store Terminator, another app, and a terminal command, then finally a restart, all seems well. I finally have all of my finder windows to my default view.
    I'll bet Cocktail and then a restart would have worked though, but I didn't restart until the last step.
    Anyway, it's good now.

  • I have a folder with 10 folders inside it, 8 of the folders will not function when I use "show view options".

    I have a Folder with 10 Folders inside it, 8 of the Folders will not function when I use "show view options", they always default back the default.  The "show view options" works on all my other Folders in my system, even on the first two of the Folder in question.  How can I correct it?  I have tried every thing I can think of, even deleting the Folders & reintalling them.  For some strange reason the "show view options" only does not work on the last 8 Folders in the Folder in question.

    Instead GarageBand recognize my keyboard and i can play normally, also, if it can help, those are the Audio and Midi Logic Preferences and the Controller Surfaces Setup with the keyboard connected :

  • "Restore last view settings when reopening documents" option not working with all documents

    Said option (found under Edit/Preferences, category Documents), which works like an automatic bookmark in that it takes you back to the same place you were at when you last closed a document, is very useful, but apparently doesn't work with *all* documents.
    - Does anyone know what determines whether a given document works with this option or not?
    - Is this by design or a bug? A matter of PDF format version?
    - Is there a way to work around the problem?
    I've compared two documents, only one of which works with the option, to determine what the relevant difference may be, and found two suspects (under File/Properties): the PDF version (1.5 in the document that works, 1.4 in the one that doesn't), and 'Fast Web View' ('yes' in the document that works, 'no' in the one that doesn't).
    Thanks,
    Michael

    This seems to be a problem with some PDF files.
    Suggested workaround: If the PDF you have allows "Save As", then try save-as to a new file. The "Restore last view settings when reopening documents" option should then work as expected (in the new file).

  • ITunes 11.0.3.42 - Show View Options Doesn't work

    I just upgraded my Windows PC to iTunes 11.0.3.42, and I am trying to enable showing the artwork in the songs view.  However, when try to open the "Show View Options" screen, it will not open.  An icon appears in my taskbar, but when I click on it to see the window, it disappears.  No matter what I try, it will not show the window.  I have tried minimizing and moving the main iTunes window to see if it is hiding behind it, but I can't seem to get it to display.  Without this window, I cannot turn on the Album Artwork in the songs view.  Tried using the CTRL-J shortcut, and I get the same behavior.
    Any ideas?  Anyone else having this issue?

    I had this problem for a long time and I finally found a fix!
    Open iTunes, and then click View -> Show View Options.  And of course, you can't get to the window no matter what you do, even though it shows up in the task bar, right?
    Leave iTunes just like it is.  Then go to your desktop, right click, and click screen resolution and change it.  Let the resolution change and then just let it automatically change back to your previous resolution and you're done! The View Options window should now be accessible.

  • Show view options/Show item info - only half working

    Used to be that all my photos in a folder showed the dimension under the name. Now, even tho I do:
    Show view options/ and check Show item info, only some of them have the dimensions. And what's really funny is that the portrait oriented pix have the dimensions, but the landscape oriented are missing the dimensions. What's going on here?

    must've recently done something to the Landscape ones...
    actually, the workflow I mentioned was applied to only one folder of pix, both port. and lands., but now, even other folders are affected, ones that I didn't run the workflow on. If I go to iPhoto, export some pix from last year to a folder (saved to anywhere), same results, port. have the dim.s below, landscapes do not.
    And now for something completely diff... So I have a folder of pix on my desktop I just imported from iPhoto. I see dim.s under the port.s, none under the land.s. I open a lands. with preview. I rotate ccl, then clockwise (back to original orientation, right?), save, close preview. There it is in the folder WITH the dim.s under it. What kinda ghost have I got here?
    Just to mention, I bought a Touch. It launches iPhoto when I attach it to my MBP (so it can sync the saved photos, only when I have some on the Touch). Don't know if that has anything to do with anything. Tx 4 th response, BD.

  • "Show view option" and "set as default" doesn't work

    Hello,
    I have my own settings in viewing finder items (like most of the users). Unfortunately those setting don't apply to iDisk folders, even after using "set as default" in "Show view option". There is any solution for this?
    Thanks in advance for help.

  • Cant open 'Show view options' under View

    Hi, I'm having a small problem with Leopard, for some reason I cant open 'Show view options' under 'View' on the menu bar. I've already tried to verify and repair the disk permissions which didn't fix it, Is there any other way I can get it to work without reinstalling everything (which is not an option cause I have too much stuff on my hard drive to backup) Please, any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Joe

    This is the solution if the problem is that you cannot see the Show View Options:
    Some kind of application that you installed, even if you don't know it did it, changed a setting in the finder preference file.
    The solution: Go to home/library/preferences and open com.apple.finder.plist, then scroll to the bottom of the file and you will see and option named: ViewOptions-inmutable, make sure the checkbox is not selected, or that the boolean value is the opposite of the one it has right now. So if it has TRUE change it to FALSE. Save the document and use the CommandOptionEscape combination to see the Force Quit Apps windows, select the finder and click the Relaunch button.

  • Drive information "Show View Options" incorrect, screen won't turn off

    1) Has anyone else had the issue when you turn on the "show view options" to make it so I can see the hard drives total space and available space below the icon, BUT it's not accurate.
    I'll be moving large files and it says say "7gb" when I know I have more after emptying my garbage can. I open finder and the total available is like "25gb". If I do an information (apple + I) it also confirms my finder saying I have way more disk space. So I can only make out that the show view options for disk space is incorrect. I believe when I turn this option off and turn it back on in a couple days after a reboot it seems to read the disk space correctly. What is the deal with this?
    2) other question is that I like to have my monitor turn off after 1 min when i'm plugged in to AC. I would say 25% of the time when I'm plugged in it won't do this and I have to reboot for this function to work. If i'm plugged into AC, i want it to go black after 1min of no activity.
    for both questions, this is a clean install of tiger to the newest build and I do disk permissions every week. But I still get this problem.
    any insight would be fantastic as these are just small problems I can't seem to figure out without a clean reboot.

    bump?

  • "Show View Options" is missing

    I had all the icons on my desktop at work set to a fairly large size because it comes in handy when I'm doing photoshop stuff to be able to see a large preview of the icon. I was working on it this morning as normal, then left work to go on a shoot, and when I came back someone else had logged into the other acct on the computer.
    I logged them out, and logged back in as me and now my desktop icons are really small, and when I go to "View" and "Show View Options" to try and change the size back, the "Show View Options" is no longer in the "View" menu. Nor is it in the "Finder" window itself when I click the little "gear" icon. It's just simply not there. I have NO idea what happened. It was working fine this morning. I don't know if someone else logged in and a new update changed everything, but when I returned, everything was different. This is REALLY annoying for what I do, because I REALLY need to be able to see pictures clearly, and having them this small makes it impossible, and I can't figure out WHY I can't change it back. Anyone????

  • If statement within a view is not working correctly ?

    Hi all,
    maybe i am wrong but i think the if statement within a view is not working correctly. See code down below.
    I would like to use the Hallo World depending on the page attribute isFrame with or without all the neccessary html tags. Therefore i have embedded the htmlb tags in an if statement. But for any reason if isframe is initial it isn't working. It would be great if anybody could help me.
    <%@page language="abap"%>
    <%@extension name="htmlb" prefix="htmlb"%>
    <% if not isframe is initial. %>
      <htmlb:content design="design2003">
         <htmlb:page title = "Top Level Navigation view">
    <% endif. %>
    hallo world
    <% if not isframe is initial. %>
         </htmlb:page>
      </htmlb:content>
    <% endif. %>
    thanks in advance and best regards
    Matthias Hlubek

    Matthias,
    The short answer: your example is <b>NOT</b> going to work. The long answer will probably 5 pages to describe. So first let me rewrite the example so that it could work, and then give a short version of the long answer. Do not be disappointed if it is not totally clear. It is rather complicated. (See the nice form of IF statements that are possible since 620.)
    <%@page language="abap"%>
    <%@extension name="htmlb" prefix="htmlb"%>
    <% if isframe is <b>NOT</b> initial. %>
    <htmlb:content design="design2003">
      <htmlb:page title = "Top Level Navigation view">
        hallo world
      </htmlb:page>
    </htmlb:content>
    <% else. %>
      hallo world
    <% endif. %>
    So why does your example not work? Let us start with a simple tag:
      <htmlb:page title = "Top Level Navigation view">
      </htmlb:page>
    Now, for each tag, we have effectively the opening part (<htmlb:page>), an optional body, and then the closing part (</htmlb:page>). We are now at the level of the BSP runtime processing one tag. What the runtime does not know, is whether the tag wants to process its body or not. Each tag can decide dynamically at runtime whether the body should be processed. So the BSP compiler generates the following code:
      DATA: tag TYPE REF TO cl_htmlb_page.
      CREATE OBJECT tag.
      tag->title = 'Top Level Navigation view'.
      IF tag->DO_AT_BEGINNING( ) = CONTINUE.
      ENDIF.
      tag->DO_AT_END( ).
    You should actually just debug your BSP code at ABAP level, and then you will immediately see all of this. Now, let us mix in your example with our code generation. First you simplified example:
    <% if isframe is NOT initial. %>
      <htmlb:page title = "Top Level Navigation view">
    <% endif. %>
    <% if isframe is NOT initial. %>
      </htmlb:page>
    <% endif. %>
    And then with our generated code. Look specifically at how the IF/ENDIF blocks suddenly match!
    if isframe is NOT initial.
      DATA: tag TYPE REF TO cl_htmlb_page.
      CREATE OBJECT tag.
      tag->title = 'Top Level Navigation view'.
      IF tag->DO_AT_BEGINNING( ) = CONTINUE.
    endif.
    if isframe is NOT initial.
      ENDIF.
      tag->DO_AT_END( ).
    endif.
    You can see that your ENDIF statements are closing IF blocks generated by the BSP compiler. Such a nesting will not work. This is a very short form of the problem, there are a number of variations, and different types of the same problem.
    The only way to solve this problem, is probably to put the body into a page fragment and include it like I did above with the duplicate HelloWorld strings. But this duplicates source code. Better is to put body onto a view, that can be processed as required.

  • IBM cognos TM1 Executive viewer is not working on direct Access

    Hi,
    We are implementing DirectAccess in our environment and testing applications in test lab. It has been observed that executive viewer is not working on Direct Access but working fine over VPN mobile checkpoint. When DA client click on open view button it
    gives error
    " Additional information:
    Unable to connect to server XYZ.com using TCP-IP port 7112. Please make sure that IBM cognos TM1 executive viewer server is started and the port is not blocked by any proxy server or firewall"
    but from client telnet is working on port 7112. All ports between DA server and application server are open 3389,7112 and 80.
    Also select database option is grayed out and user is unable to select the database. When switching to VPN its working fine.
    We are using Executive viewer 9.4. 
    Any help would be appreciated.

    It sounds like this program may not be capable of talking over IPv6, which DirectAccess uses. First make sure that when you connect it is trying to talk to a hostname and not an IPv4 address. If your program is calling for "192.168.1.100" - this is never
    going to work over DirectAccess. It must call for a name that DirectAccess can resolve to an IPv6 address for communication over DA.
    If you confirm it is talking to a name, and then if you confirm that you can do other things to that same name (can you RDP into the server for example?), then that confirms that DirectAccess traffic flow is working to that name/server.
    If RDP works but the application still doesn't work, then the application is probably incapable of IPv6. You can either ask IBM if they have a newer version that does talk IPv6, otherwise I have a utility available that can intercept packets from these kinds
    of problematic applications and flip the packets into IPv6 on the DA client. Let me know if you need any further information on that: http://www.ivonetworks.com/news/2013/05/ivo-networks-announces-app46-for-directaccess/

  • ITunes Show View Options - Display an option for all playlists in one go??

    Hi there
    Ive got about 200 playlists and need to show the same option for each (BPM).
    How can I tell iTunes to display the BPM in ALL playlists in one go?
    I can't manually select it from
    View
    Show View Options
    Tick BPM
    Close Show View Options
    on all 200 playlists, it would take far too long.
    Any help?
    Thanks

    iTunes does not provide a way to do that.  When a playlist is first created, it inherits the "View" from how the Music library is set at that point in time.  From then on, changes to its View settings are independent of all other playlists.
    There may be a script somewhere that helps.  Otherwise you have to do them one at a time. 
    It can however, be done with fewer clicks than you state.  Right-click any column header (preferably the one to the left of where you want BPM to show) and click the item "Beats Per Minute."

  • Finder -- View/Show View Options Missing

    I am going nutz trying to figure out why I don't have the "Show View Options" under the View menu in finder.
    I did a search here and found what I thought to be the problem:

    Unfortunately, I could not even find "ViewOption-immutable" in the file when opened in Property List Editor.
    So, I created a new user to see if the problem was global, and the Show View Options was there for this use. So I copied that users finder.plist into the shared folder, logged back into my user and replaced my finder.plist with the one that was correctly displaying for the new user. Relaunched finder and still nothing.
    Any ideas?

    Update: I got to the office and decided to check some of the other users in the office. Sure enough, all the other users in the office have the same issue. We use Portable Home Directories as network users. So I checked the Workgroup Manager and I'm still perplexed because none of the users have any preferences being managed. Is this a bug with PHD?
