Why does the Yosemite Finder become unresponsive when moving a file within my USB Flash stick?

Why does the Yosemite Finder become unresponsive when moving a file within my USB Flash stick? I have to Relaunch the Finder to get it working again.
Background / other symptoms:
The Flash drive in question has been formatted HFS.
I get no error messages, including on the Console, and no sound indicators.
I can copy files, using the Finder, from a hard-drive to the usb flash drive with no problem.
Finder copying on this stick works just fine on my other Mac.
I can move files within another (FAT32-formatted) USB flash drive.
The quirky USB HFS Flash drive works fine on my other Mac.
Outside of the Finder, I can use mv just fine to move the files on the HFS flash drive.
If the HFS-formatted Flash drive were faulty, I would at least expect some sort of error in the Console app, but perhaps not from the Finder.

Why does the elements 13 change resolution when going into the editor -- it is huge and unusable

why does the elements 13 change resolution when going into the editor? -- it is huge and unusable

Many mysteries...
Which is your OS version ?
Your screen is 1920 by 1080 pixels.
The problem appeared after having worked normally.
When we select a picture from the organizer (album) and click on the edit button. The editor software changes the entire computer resolution from 1920 x 1080 to 640 x 480 (very unusable).
That's not clear for me: did you click on the 'Edit' button on the bottom right part of the organizer, or did you use the menu or the right click popup menu to open the editor? In the second case, you are in the editor workspace.
We tried right clicking on the Elements 13 icon, select properties and under compatibility we made sure that "run in 640 x 480 screen resolution" was de-selected, and it was. Cannot find any properties window for the editor?
The editor has its properties in the 'Edit/preferences' menu, but there is nothing about resolution there.
Just to be sure : when you are in the organizer with the left 'Folders' panel shown, you highlight one of those pictures to edit. Then you right click and choose to "go to folder". Do the images are shown as 'offline' ? If that is the case, the original are on an external drive which is not connected, and what you are seeing is a 'preview' copy on your computer with 640 x 480 resolution.

Why does the Date Created metadata change when images are exported?How do I stop it from changing?

why does the Date Created metadata change when images are exported? How do I stop it from changing? I must have a prefernce set up wrong.

I don't know what OS you are using, or what application you are using to view the data about your exported files, but on Windows and using Windows Explorer the "Date Created" field relates only to the date that the exported file was created, i.e. if viewed immediately after export it will show the date created as being the same date. In order to view "Capture Date" in something like Explorer, you first have to ensure you have included the Metadata as Conrad outlined above, then you have to adjust the display properties of Explorer to show the "Date Taken" field. Here is an example, part of a folder I exported back on March 3rd, note the difference between that last two dates:

Hi laura,
I suspect that your 2 decimal place numbers are formatted as text. Change the format of the column to currency and see it that works.

Why does the album artwork appear only when the first song is playing only?

Why does the album artwork appear only when the first song is playing only?

Hello ckuan. Thx for your reply.
The songs are not from iTunes, they are from CDs that I had copied to my itunes library.
It is worth mentioning that I wasn't facing this issue before IOS 5.

The spinning beach ball of death (SBBOD) can be caused by many things. Common causes are not enough RAM, insufficient HD space or another process using a lot of the CPU's power. You can open Activity Monitor (Applications - Utilities - Activity Monitor) for many things including the %CPU column to see if there is an app using a large %CPU. Also click the System Memory tab and see how much FREE RAM it shows. As a general rule your system should have 500MB or more available.
Finally I'd recommend reading and using the Spinning Beach Ball of Death article for additonal troubleshooting steps.

Why does the screen turn back on when the brightness is turned down?

Hi,
I bought a macbook pro (Mac OS X 10.6.8), and just recently last week when i turn the brightness down to black, after a couple minutes later the screen turns back on. Then when i touch the trackpad then it goes back to black. Is there any way where i can change this setting??? because this didn't happen before and now it just constantly occurs.

Seems that some process is calling it back.
If I shut down via the log in screen it turn's off. What gives?
Probably a process in your account and not systemwide.
Go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items, and remove them. BShutdown and test. If not go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Test.
EDIT: Also, unmount & disconnect all peripherals except Apple keyboard & mouse.

With PPT 2007 when I print my PPT file to Notes view why does the slide portion become an image

I am trying to print a ppt file using PowerPoint 2007 notes view to PDF with Distiller and create a full text searchable PDF.
Everytime I do, the slide portion becomes an image. The only textual portion of the PDF are the page numbers and the actual notes.
This was not the case with Office 2003. The slide portion was full text searchable. Does anyone know why this is.

Irma,
Show the file in Finder with the pps or ppt extension, you want Powerpoint to open.
Get info on the file, using command-I, and change the application to open all documents like this to Powerpoint.

Why does the Error: 500 SC_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR appear when multiple users access my JSPs but does not occur when only one user accesses my JSPs?

When multiple users run my JSP application, why do some users get an Error: 500 SC_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR for certain JSP pages with the error message No such file or directory. The JSP listed on the Error 500 page varies and is not always the same. When only one user runs my JSP application, the problem does not occur?
The database connection is held when the user logs in or accesses certain parts of the JSP and then is immediately released. No connections to the database are held.

It sounds like you might having some kind of thread safety issue with your code. Either that or your guess about running out of database connections.

Why does safari web browser become unresponsive?

Every once in a while the main part of the safari web browser on my iPad 2 becomes unresponsive. I can type into the address or google search area and the results will show in the window but the content seems static. Links are inactive and cannot scroll or expand/contract the page size. Any ideas on why this happens? My only solution thus far is to completely shut down the iPad and restart.

There are a myriad of reasons this can happen, including problems with content on the website you are viewing. If it seems to occur on the same sites check the site with your computer and see if it is possibly trying to download a Java applet or something similar. If there is no pattern to the websites visited you might want to Restore your iPad and see if it helps.

Why does the phone dial pad disappear when my finger gets near the screen?

Phone problem - the touch dialpad works for the primary number called, but goes blank as soon as my finger gets near the screen when I try to enter an extension number. Air Gesture, Motion, and Palm Motion are all turned off. Why does this happen? How can I correct it?

Why does the arrow pointer become a hand?

i just noticed that the arrow pointer becomes a hand when hovering over clickable links and i don't believe that it has always done so....is this supposed to happen?

That's obviously NOT what I meant. I meant, as a percentage of total "personal computing," over time, more of it will be happening on touchscreen DEVICES (such as iPad and iPhone). And more people will ONLY have a touchscreen mobile computing device, and not even own a desktop or laptop computer. And THAT is why having a "pointer" on the screen that changes shape "may become less common in the future."
Unlike Microsoft and the Windows 8 kludge, Apple is clearly intent on keeping Macs and touchscreen iOS devices distinct and separate. Macs (from 27-inch iMac to 11-inch MacBook Air) will continue to have an interface optimized for keyboard and mouse/trackpad. And iOS mobile devices will continue to evolve its touchscreen-based interface. That's a very good thing...

Why does the bar code look "chubby" when I save to PDF?

Hi, I'm designing a book cover for a client in Illustrator, and it has a bar code on the back of it. When I save the file as an .ai or a .png or .jpeg, it appears fine. But when I save the file as a .pdf (which my client will be viewing, and for print), the bar code looks like the lines have gotten bigger or run together! It's really weird...no matter which preset I use, it appears like this (I've attached a screenshot). I've also tried the "flatten transparency" and converting the numbers to outlines, but they still tend to distort when the pdf is viewed.
Any suggestions on how to fix this, or why this might be happening? It scares the client when they see it....
The lines in the picture are MUCH thicker than the actual bar code, and some appear to have blended together.

Hi Mike,
In the Preferences area of Adobe Reader, go to the Page Display tab, and
make sure that "Enhance thin lines" is unchecked. That seemed to solve
most of my problems with the type! Hope that works for you too!

Why does the "A" button go inactive when I highlight more than one name to start a group chat?

I can't consistently start a group chat! Help! Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't.

Hi,
AIM, Jabber, MSN (Windows Live), and Yahoo are the major IM services.
AIM, MSN and Yahoo operate through their own Central server where you have to Login with a Name that is valid with that server.
Jabber is a collection of Public and private servers which then are linked together via what is called Federation.
AIM issue (or allow you to register) names directly and through several agreements with ISP and other services.
Apple has one of these Agreements and Names Ending in @Mac.com and the MobileMe @Me.com names are Valid AIM Screen Names.
AIM Names themselves tend to be just plain names where as others are or look like emails.
Anyone of these three Names would be considered to be an "AIM" Buddy list in iChat as it logs in to the AIM Server.
Google run the GoogleTalk service to allow Chats through their Web Mail Page.
This is a Jabber server.
Facebook seem to run a similar type of service.
People and organisations that run Jabber servers can elect to run what are called Transports as well.
These allow links to the other major services.
An AIM transport would allow them to Add AIM buddies to their List and so on.
iChat can also log in to Jabber servers including the GoogleTalk one
The AIM App for PCs which is up to version 7.2.something can also allow people to Add their Facebook and Google Buddies (sort of Reverse Transport if you like).
I haven't downloaded the latest AIM for Mac version to see if it does the same.
The short answer then is that all the major players are beginning to allow the adding of Buddies from other services.
This is further complicated or involved, in that the major Social sites are also allowing people to link various Buddy lists in to one overall list.
This tend to mean that if you link Facebook with Google Buddies and AIM Buddies there appears to be some sort of "Feedback" that allows those names to then appear in your AIM Buddy list.
It does seem to somewhat fall down when you try and do Group Chats due to the different ways the major services conduct these chats.
