10.5.2 Folders in Dock fail to display as list, hierarchically.

I saw it all over the Mac web that the 10.5.2 update fixed stacks so I could use my old hierarchical dock folders. So I set display as Folder, view content as List, but the output is the same as a right click. I just get the options menu again.
Update - I just figured it out: It's no longer click & hold that activates the hierarchical display. Just click & it works.

If it did, tens of thousands of users would freak out because of the length of time permissions repairs take. And since disk repairs can't be done on a mounted volume, the best it could do for this is with something like fsck. As its manual page notes, the corrective actions of fsck can result in data loss, so it should be used as a last resort. It also wouldn't help much if preexisting file system problems resulted in corruption of a critical system file during the installation.
Much of this is related to the "bootstrap" paradox -- an OS can't be used until it is loaded & initialized, which is impossible if its files are damaged enough to require repair before it will do so. The only practical way around this is with a ROM-based kernel, something no modern OS uses, or by booting from a known-good file source, such as OS installer DVD's.

  • Can't put files into nested folders in dock

    Whenever I try to put a file into a folder I have in my dock, it will only let me put it in the first level of the folder. Ideally, I would want the folder to pop open and show the next level of folders so I can navigate through levels of nested folders to put the file in the exact place I want deep within my folder hierarchy. I know I can hold down Control on a folder in the dock to show my nested folders, but how can I drag files into those nested folders? I thought this was supposed to be automatic in Tiger. Please help.

    Yes- Easy!
    When you have your Creative Media Explorer open and your portable device connected, you will see your Zen V Series Media Explorer in the SOURCE window in the upper LH corner. Click on the "+" in front of the Zen V Series icon and it will display the list of folders on the device.
    Right click on the main folder for the category you want to put the sub folder in and you will get a drop down menu.
    Select "New folder" and you will get the "New Folder" box asking you what name you want for your new folder. It's that easy.

  • Dock fails to start at login/start

    Since yesterday when logging out/in or restarting my macBook Pro, OS X 10.6.4 the Dock fails tot start. I get an blue desktop and no Dock, everything else works. I can start the dock manualy from the Core Services folder, it runs correctly then and with the correct dektop picture. But for some reason it does not start of its own. For now I've added the Dock to lg-in items but I want to solve the problem the correct way. Any ideas...? Thanks!

    Hi macjack, yes I deleted all those prefrences. It seems however some 'list' of what should auto-start on log-in is somehow also deleted/damaged. Which plist/preference could that be...?
    I don't know. If it is a .plist you might drag your preferences out of your prefs folder to a desktop folder, log out and back in to see if Docks works correctly. Then load your prefs back a group at a time and logging out/in to check.
    Note: ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist *This is a very important file which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences. Since we know it's not your problem you should keep that one.
    You might also want to see what happens when you startup Safe Mode (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)

    If at any time you got a functioning system, take this opportunity to backup your files to a external drive (not TimeMachine) via drag and drop methods.
    It might be a more serious problem, like a failing hard drive.
    Look into the free Carbon Copy Cloner as a hold option bootable external drive clone, it helps in problems like this as you can boot the computer from the external drive and repair or recover your latest files and even reverse clone.

  • Motion 3, DVD Studio Pro 3, Compressor...fail to display interface

    Macbook Pro C2D, Leopard OS X 10.5.1. All apps were running perfectly before this happened...
    First, all the apps of Final Cut Studio 2 crashed on startup.
    I recall that the last thing I did is trashing the newly installed trail version Aperture.
    After checking the crashing log, I found the problem comes from Prokit.framework. I did a thorough search, the answer is quite clear that the Prokit.framework comes with Aperture 1.5.2 is a PPC version, it replaced the intel version that was in my OS. So the solution is replacing the PPC version back to Prokit for Intel. Finally I found some provided download links of Prokit for Intel. BUT..
    All the Prokit online are extracted with Pacifist from either Tiger OS disc or ProAppRuntime4.0.2.pkg(from apple's website). So they are either version 3.1 or version 4.0.2. After replacing my Prokit.framework with version 4.0.2, all my FCS 2 apps except Final Cut Pro (but Log and Transfer inside FCP 6) stopped crashing but failed to display any interface. But the icons are in the dock.
    So finally I cleaned up all the files related to Final Cut Studio 2 and Prokit.framework and did a fresh reinstallation of FCS 2.
    Same thing! No interface at all.
    At this point, I doubt if the Prokit.framework in Leopard OS disc is different. It's too bad that I'm traveling for a project and my Leopard DVD is not in hand. So I asked a friend using Pacifist to extract Prokit.framework and Browser.framework from his Leopard DVD and sent them over. Now I found that they are indeed different. The one from Leopard is version 4.1. I did a replace again. Now, Motion 3, DVD Studio Pro 3 and Compressor start up, but with black windows and a few images, and the menu bars are really weird. I guess I should install this two framework with Pacifist instead of replacing them with the extracted folders?
    The last resort I guess is to reinstall Leopard? My dilemma if I don't finish my project, I have no access to my OS DVD, but I need to use FCS 2 to finish the project.
    Has anyone run into the same situation? Any enlightenment will be appreciated!

    I have just installed Leopard ans having problems with DDVDSPRO crasshing, can you please expand on how i may install prokit.framework and Browerkit frame work with Pacifist. I am not an expert please bear in mind!!
    many thanks

  • Failed to save package list!

    I am trying to add DM packages for my tasks in eData --> Organize Package List menu but after adding the package group and the DM package to the group, when I try to save it, i get an error message "Failed to save the list!" and the packages disappear. I have checked my profile and I do have the required authorization etc. Has anyone else seen this kind of error on BPC 7.0NW SP5. Any idea what might be going on?
    Thanks.

    Sorin,
    thanks a ton for your efforts. I did try adding the package group and save it first before attempting to add the DM package. The problem is when you add the package group the message says that the package group is added successfully. Then when you try to add the package and save it
    eData --> Add package group in ADMIN folder --> Message "Package group has been added successfully".
    After this step I can see the package group iunder the Application folder
    Next Add Package Package type Process Chains. I select /CPMB/LEGAL_CONSOLIDATION --> Give it a name say LC, in the same folder as the one created in previous step. Check the task type User Package and Admin Package --> Select. The selected package shows up in the respective folder. So far so good.
    Next when I click Save --> "Failed to save package list!"
    When I try to look under eData --> Organize package list --> all the folders are gone! (Even one from before that was, I believe defaul Data Management).
    I check under eData --> Manager Tream User Package Access: I don't see anything.
    I have the proper security in BPC security settings (DM etc.).
    I am at wits end!

  • Windows 7 x64 Pro, desktop GUI fails to display correctly, or crashes, when High RAM load, and even after. HW changed, same issue. Please Help.

    Hi Guys,
    I have have this horror issue with my PC. I have even changed the hardware configuration and the problem still persists. My PC fails to display the desktop correctly after using highly RAM intensive applications, especially Chrome, but even after getting
    the chance to close it, or waiting for it to crash by itself, the PC is still not able to display correctly the GUI, even on other browser/applications as shown in the screenshots. 
    1st Hardware Config:
    Intel Core2Quad Q9450
    4x2GB DDR2
    MSI P43 motherboard
    Ati Radeon x550 video card
    Software used, that seemed important for me to mention:
    NOD32 v4.2
    Comodo Firewall 5.12
    Chrome
    Screenshot Captor
    SpeedFan
    Other mentions:
    Aero is disabled, because I've considered that it's one of the causes.
    So, I've considered that it's a RAM issue or a videocard issue, and I've upgraded to:
    Intel Core i7 3770k
    4x8GB DDR3
    Asus P8Z77V-LX motherboard
    Intel GPU integrated in the 3770k CPU
    The problem just happened 2 times on this rig also, and the RAM was not even coming close to  it's maximum capacity of 31.7GB. It was at ~20GB's.
    Also, this is another videocard(Intel's integrated GPU), so we can exclude the videocard from the suspects.
    My suspects:
    1) some desktop manager bugs, or other similar issue
    2)  video memory allocation - I'm still suspecting that it can be caused by the amount of RAM dedicated to the videocard, currently, I think  that it is at 256MB.
    3) some poorly designed components of Chrome/Screenshot Captor - still very questionable since there are enough resources on this system, so there should be no fight over resources. And when the system is barely used there are no issues.
    4) Adobe Shockwave Flash - maybe this one????
    I have attached a set of 20 screenshots here, these were taken on the 1st configuration of my PC, using Q9450:
    http://imgur.com/a/Mc8hI#4
    Notice how it distorts the image by duplicating it and showing it in a smaller space, or how does it displays those black rectangles. In those moments, the PC is fully functional(the apps are running the background), without being slowish or something, but
    you can hardly control it like that. For example, I've tried to remove the mouse from the USB, and then I've insterted it back, the image was not displayed correctly, but the mouse was recognised instantly and the pointer was controlable.
    Same thing still happens on the new configuration. Please advise me.
    LE: OS is Windows 7 x64 SP1 Professional and it's Geniune. There is no cracked software on this PC. No games. I've tried to maintain it as clean as possible.

    Hi,
    First, please be ensured that you have installed the latest drivers and all the updates.
    Then check whether this issue will not in
    Safe Mode. If it didn’t occurred, I suggest you narrow down the cause in
    Clean Boot mode.
    In addition, try to create a new profile to see how it works.
    Hope this helps.

  • Bug (possibly?): SelectManyShuttle fails to display selected items

    Bug (possibly?): SelectManyShuttle fails to display selected items when valuePassThru="true" in ADF 10g
    Hello all,
    When run, the example below shows a Select Many Shuttle with four choices in the leading list. When items are shuttled to the training list and the page is submitted the trailing list is rendered with no items selected. Is this a bug?
    Configuration
    This example was constructed using jDeveloper 10.1.3.5.0.
    A new application was created using the Web Application [JSF, ADF BC] template although no business components are used.
    Steps to Reproduce
    1. Create the following backing bean class.
    package com.fmcna.adf.test.view;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.util.List;
    import javax.faces.model.SelectItem;
    public class ShuttleBean {
        public ShuttleBean() {
        private List availableItems;
        private List selectedItems;
        public void setAvailableItems(List availableItems) {
            this.availableItems = availableItems;
        public List getAvailableItems() {
            //populate with a List of SelectItem instances on the inital call to this method
            if(this.availableItems==null) {
                this.availableItems=generateSelectItemsList();
            return availableItems;
        public void setSelectedItems(List selectedItems) {
            this.selectedItems = selectedItems;
        public List getSelectedItems() {
            return selectedItems;
         * Build a List of SelectItem instances to be used by an af:selectManyShuttle
         * @return A List containing SelectItems instances
        private List generateSelectItemsList() {
            List initialItems = new ArrayList();
            initialItems.add(new SelectItem(new Integer(11),"First Choice"));
            initialItems.add(new SelectItem(new Integer(22),"Second Choice"));
            initialItems.add(new SelectItem(new Integer(33),"Third Choice"));
            initialItems.add(new SelectItem(new Integer(44),"Fourth Choice"));
            return initialItems;
    }2. Configure the ShuttleBean class as a session scoped managed bean as in the following faces-config.xml file.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
    <!DOCTYPE faces-config PUBLIC
      "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JavaServer Faces Config 1.1//EN"
      "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-facesconfig_1_1.dtd">
    <faces-config xmlns="http://java.sun.com/JSF/Configuration">
      <managed-bean>
        <managed-bean-name>ShuttleBean</managed-bean-name>
        <managed-bean-class>com.fmcna.adf.test.view.ShuttleBean</managed-bean-class>
        <managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
      </managed-bean>
      <application>
        <default-render-kit-id>oracle.adf.core</default-render-kit-id>
      </application>
    </faces-config>3. Create a JSP page containing an af:selectManyShuttle with a nested f:selectItems component. Wire the values for these components to the properties in the managed bean.
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
    <%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=windows-1252"%>
    <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>
    <%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%>
    <%@ taglib uri="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces" prefix="af"%>
    <f:view>
      <html>
        <head>
          <meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
                content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"/>
          <title>testShuttle</title>
        </head>
        <body><h:form>
            <af:selectManyShuttle value="#{ShuttleBean.selectedItems}" valuePassThru="true">
                <f:selectItems value="#{ShuttleBean.availableItems}"/>
            </af:selectManyShuttle>
            <af:commandLink text="Postback"/>
        </h:form></body>
      </html>
    </f:view>4. Run the JSP. Validate that the trailing list is initially empty.
    5. Shuttle one or more items to the trailing list and click the Postback button. Validate that when the page refreshes the trailing list is again empty.
    Thanks for any input you might be able to provide.

    I'm holding my Nano in my hot little hands with ALL of the things you listed, but here's the sad, simple truth: you CAN'T use iTunes to sync everything. It works well for:
    1) Music
    2) Videos (except sometimes in Vista)
    3) Photos (as long as they're not too large)
    but is terrible for:
    1) calendar
    2) contacts
    3) To-Do lists
    For the latter use something like "iGadget" (www.ipodsoft.com). I also edit/store notes w/iGadget plus it allows you to export files, etc.
    I gave up on syncing iTunes w/Outlook long ago. Good luck.

    on windows 7 machine, safari fails to display web sites

    what happens is you type in the url and press enter then nothing.  the fix was to run "netsh winsock reset"
    If the winsock key reset helped things, that usually indicates trouble with a LSP. (That's also consistent with a 'silent" Safari page-load failure.) If you run into the problem again, perhaps try the following document:

  • Chinese characters failed to display on songs in rip from my own CDs

    My old hard disk was dead and I lost some of the songs that I had on my computer.  So I tried ripping my own CDs into iTune.  Unfortunately, all the Chinese characters failed to display properly.  The songs in my old ipod showed those characters nicely and properly so I do not even have guts to sync my old ipod now. Did some research on the net and it said that I can try convert ID3 tags.  Sadly, the new iTunes no longer provide this function.  Went to apple support site and they need me to buy apple care plan!  I have a ipad still in the warranty period but I am extremely disappointed that iTunes, a software, also needs me to pay for support.  This has cast me shadow of having my 4th apple product.  I am using the latest iTunes version 12.0.1.26.  Help on support of local language is truly appreciated. 

    You wrote "with my last ipod update". Are we talking about syncing your iTunes to the iPod function of your iPhone? Because if not you might be in the wrong forum. If so, then you need to remember that there is no "drag and drop" functionality for transferring your music onto the iPhone. You must first create a playlist within iTunes (I called mine simply iPhone) and then tell the iPhone to sync that playlist to your phone when you connect it to your computer. As you are probably familiar with creating playlists within iTunes you know that you can then drag and drop whatever you'd like into one, including both purchased and imported music.
    Hope that helps.

  • One of the folders of Robo Help Project Manager is listed twice in Windows Explorer.

    Hello Everybody,
    One of the folders of Robo Help Project Manager is listed twice in Windows Explorer. One has all the subfolders and topics of it and the other has all the subfolders but not the topics. How did I get into this kind of situation? Why do I have two folders? Can somebody please answer on this?
    Since my RH project is attached to Visual Source Safe (VSS), the same structure is mirroring in VSS.

    Hi there
    After reviewing the image I see that what you might think are two of the same folder are two different folders similar in name.
    One is named Advanced_Functionality. The other is named Advanced_Funtionality (note the missing C).
    I'm assuming this is the folder you are referring to?
