All folders open in search mode

Running XP IT PRO. SP3 downloade and installed automatically. Now all folders open in search mode and I can't change them. I can right click on folders and scroll down to open and they open fine. Help with this..... needs to be changed asap.

Download/application folders opening in terminal mode or acting as applications

I am new to macbooks. I have read some articles but being that i'm new to macs i'm not 100% sure what it all means.
here's my issues. i somehow accidently moved my iphoto and library and could not get it moved back. i had to uninstall and reload because i had conflicts and problems opening the application. now everytime i open my downloads folder and it opens iphoto. i managed to move iphoto out of there but the applications folder now open in terminal "bash" and i can only open it using the alt menu and choosing "show package contents" but if i click on it directly it opens the terminal window. i had to create a new downloads folder on my desk top just to be able to use it like i was able to before the iphoto issues.
this is what shows in the terminal when the folders "open"

I recently purchased Adobe CC. Since then, all applications open in Trial mode asking me to basically enter a serial or 'join' when I join, it says I'm already a member. How can I fix this?

Opening all folders in a folder

In OS9 you could open and close all folders in a folder with key strokes. It's been years since I did it, now I have to do it in OS10.3.9 to show all files on disc's I'm creating. Sure could use a little help.

You mean using List view, do a Select All (Command-A) and then hit the right arrow ? Select All again if needed and right arrow again. Left arrow closes all the selected ones at once.
Or did you have another view in mind ?

My iphone 5 went into search mode and I can't place or receive calls or use the internet but my text messages work. Sprint had me do a master reset and my phone doesn't work at all now I can't get it past the activation. Will I have to pay in store?

My iphone 5 went into search mode and I can't place or receive calls or use the internet but my text messages work. Sprint had me do a master reset and my phone doesn't work at all now I can't get it past the activation. Will I have to pay for repairs in store because I didnt get the Apple care plan when I purchased it. Sprint said it may be a phone problem not sure if I should take it to Sprint or Apple...I just need my phone

I'm sorry to learn that you are not able to make/receive calls chelseabee! (ticket number removed) results indicate that there is no issues with the network or account provisioning. Since you have already done a hard reset http://vz.to/1gBkSJc (as per your post), I recommend exploring replacement options. If your phone is within the one year manufacturers' warranty we can provide a Certified Like New replacement http://vz.to/uyYF0o as long as no physical/liquid damage exist. If your phone has sustained physical/water damage and you have insurance, you can submit a claim to the insurance company online at this link http://bit.ly/07CrqPK

I have upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6 and found that all folders/files/pics have pixelated (either white or black) patterns on them. But it turns out fine when i open up the affected files/folders/pics. And this phenomenon persists after updating software.

I have upgraded from 10.5 to 10.6 and found that all folders/files/pics in my disk drive have 'dotted' (either white or black) patterns on them. But it turns out fine when I open up the affected files/folders/pics. And this phenomenon persisted even after updating to the latest software. I proceeded to upgrade to 10.8 and updated the latest software thinking that this might resolve the problem but still stays the same way as it was. Could it be the Adobe flash player that is causing this problem? Please help.

I did it and it worked.

Recursively search folders, export to excel all sub-folders. All folders containing ReadMe.txt export contents.

I have a bunch of VBScripts that I created using help from this forum and other forums. These scripts are for fixing Windows problems, installing software and setting configuration settings. Each script is in a separate folder. Some of the script folders
contain a file called ReadMe.txt that contains info about the script and what it does. I am trying to document all my fixes so I can share them with coworkers, friends and anyone who needs help. I struggle with the "recursive" feature in VBScript.
I found the Scripting Guy's article on recursive searching and found another article from another website that works really well for listing all folders and subfolders to a CSV file. I'm having trouble adapting the script. After it exports the
folder list to the CSV, I need it to go back through the list and for every folder that contains the ReadMe.txt, export it's contents to the row for the specific folder that contains the file.
I've tried several modifications of this script but all my attempts cause the script to Not export the file list. I cannot get past this problem. Until I do that I cannot even focus on the exporting the contents of the ReadMe.txt file to the CSV file.
Here is the code I have
Dim objFSO
Dim ObjOutFile
'Creating File System Object
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create an output file
Set ObjOutFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile("OutputFiles.csv")
'Writing CSV headers
ObjOutFile.WriteLine("Type,File Name,File Path")
'Call the GetFile function to get all files
GetFiles("H:\0-Fixes")
'Close the output file
ObjOutFile.Close
WScript.Echo("Completed")
Function GetFiles(FolderName)
On Error Resume Next
Dim ObjFolder
Dim ObjSubFolders
Dim ObjSubFolder
Dim ObjFiles
Dim ObjFile
Set ObjFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(FolderName)
Set ObjFiles = ObjFolder.Files
'Write all files to output files
For Each ObjFile In ObjFiles
ObjOutFile.WriteLine("File," & ObjFile.Name & "," & ObjFile.Path)
Next
'Getting all subfolders
Set ObjSubFolders = ObjFolder.SubFolders
For Each ObjFolder In ObjSubFolders
'Writing SubFolder Name and Path
ObjOutFile.WriteLine("Folder," & ObjFolder.Name & "," & ObjFolder.Path)
'Getting all Files from subfolder
GetFiles(ObjFolder.Path)
Next
End Function
Helpful nice guy

Here is a fixed version of your script. Run it and tell us what errors you are getting.
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objOutFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile("OutputFiles.csv")
'Writing CSV headers
objOutFile.WriteLine "Type,File Name,File Path"
GetFiles "H:\0-Fixes"
objOutFile.Close
WScript.Echo("Completed")
Function GetFiles(FolderName)
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(FolderName)
For Each ObjFile In ObjFolder.Files
objOutFile.WriteLine "File," & ObjFile.Name & "," & ObjFile.Path
Next
'Getting all subfolders
Set objSubFolders = ObjFolder.SubFolders
For Each ObjFolder In ObjSubFolders
'Writing SubFolder Name and Path
objOutFile.WriteLine "Folder," & ObjFolder.Name & "," & ObjFolder.Path
GetFiles ObjFolder.Path
Next
End Function

When i click on 'Show all in Finder' after searching for anything on spotlight, NOTHING happens! No Finder window opens up and the spotlight dropdown menu just shuts! Please help!

When i click on 'Show all in Finder' after searching for anything on spotlight, NOTHING happens! NO Finder window opens up and the spotlight dropdown menu just shuts! Please help!

I'm having the same problem in other places as well, for example when i downloaded Easyfind right now, clicking the small magnifying glass button on the right of the file name (shown below) would usually open up finder highlighting the file, but now nothing happens when i click on that button!
Is there a solution for this, as this was a very useful feature which i used ALL the time?

Is there a way to make InCopy open all documents in normal screen mode, always?

Is there a way to make InCopy open all documents in normal screen mode, always?
Now it opens in the screen mode the InDesign page is in when checked in. We don't want that.
Thanks,
Frederik

No, there's no way to get rid of it in InCopy. InCopy opens layouts in the mode the InDesign user saved them, including Normal vs. Preview, Frame edges showing or not, Hidden characters showing or not, and so on.
You could try asking the designers to switch to Normal view before saving the INDD file. Or you could assign a keyboard shortcut to the Normal view in InCopy and tell everyone to use that. We're on Macs so we use Control-N for Normal and Control-Shift-N for Preview.

Yosemite install, all folders missing with just folder names show, but can't open.

Hi
I've just done a clean install for a relative to Yosemite. It all went well, but I'v noticed all folders on all hard drives are missing. Just the title of the folder is
showing, but I can't open them where the folder icon would be.
Any help gratefully appreciated.
Thanks
Matt

Do you have a backup you could restore the older version from?
Do a backup, preferably 2 separate ones on 2 separate drives.
Revert to a Previous OS X - Yosemite
Revert Yosemite to Mavericks
If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience.

Cannot get Toolbar with FF4 other than by pressing Alt button, have tried all methods suggested, also cannot get it to open in Safe Mode.

Since downloading FF4 to replace 3.1.6 I cannot get the Toolbar other than by pressing the Alt button and whilst this shows the toolbar it will not stay. I have followed the Firefox instructions, other than opening in Safe Mode which it will not do either ,none of which have cured the problem. I am using Vista, with Trend Anti Virus and also have IE8 which is working OK.

Hi collizz, welcome to the forum,
if you have access to another computer I suggest you download Kaspersky Rescue Disc and create a bootable cd, below is a link to a knowledgebase article where you can download it and also find out how to use it.
http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208282173
Good luck.
p.s. moving to Security and Malware board.

Does bridge search all folders and subfolders by default?

Many documents and folders are not being found with Bridge's search feature. What do I need to do to have Bridge A) find files in specific folders and B) search newly added folders? Does bridge search every folder on my computer by default or just specific ones? If the latter, how do I let bridge know which folders it should add to its searches? THanks.

Bridge starts the search where you tell it and then moves down the dirctory tree. So if
your folder is above the start point it will not be searched.

The menu bar and task bar are missing. I tried opening in safe mode like instructed but there is no firefox button and I tried opening with shift key down but it doesn't open in safe mode.

all that is showing is bookmark tabs. I can't search or open my home page. I don't have a fire fox button at the top to click on to open in safe mode.

# Maybe you are in ''Full screen'' mode. Use the '''F11''' key to enter or exit this mode.
# Press the '''Alt''' key and while keeping it pressed, press these keys: '''V T M'''. Do you see the menu bar now?

Outlook 2013 crashes when opening Calendar search result

I have a user who uses her Outlook 2013 calendar extensively, mainly to note for herself when she has spoken to a customer, and creating appointments for when she needs to speak to them again. (This is outside of our policy to note the contact in
MS CRM.) She can have scores of such Calendar items each day.
When seraching for these appointments in her Calendar, she gets the list of results, but Oulook crashes when she tries to open any of them. Sometimes Outlook restarts on its own, sometimes she must relaunch it herself.
Related threads reference a wwlib.dll error, but she is not getting that. It is Outlook.exe itself that is crashing. There are other threads that reference other open windows, or items containing webpages or tables, but these do not apply to her, either.

On answers.microsoft.com, Girish M (Support Engineer who eventally directed me here), asked me to run Scanpst.exe. I would paste the results here, but this window does not seem to allow pasting. A summary description of what it found on her .ost file (no
.pst in use) is basically this:
**Beginning NDB recovery
**Attempting to open database
**Attempting to validate header
**Attempting to validate AMap
**Attempting to validate BBT
**Attempting to validate NBT
**Attempting to validate BBT refcounts
    ??Couldint find BBT entry in the RBT (E025CC)
**Attempting to validate header NID high-water marks
**Beginning PST/OST recovery
**Attempting to recover all top-level objects
    **Store created by biuld: 15.4517
**Attempting to walk all folders
      Failed to add row to the FLT, RowID = 719
      Failed to add row to the FLT, RowID = 6CD
      Failed to add row to the FLT, RowID = 6DE
      Failed to add row to the FLT, RowID = 6D8
and so on, and so on, with a few hundred more FLT RowID errors, finally ending with:
**Attempting to locate any orphaned folders/messages
**Performing Final HMP validation
**Attempting to check top-level objects for consistency
**Updating folder hierarchy
  **Verifying message moves
My understanding of the Scanpst.exe process is that it also disables any addons which might cause crashing, but the issue is still being experienced. Running Scanpst.exe a second time (appending the previous log, although it seemed to actually prepend the
file) only returned a few lines from the top of the result above ending with "Attempting to validate BBT."
Fixes not attempted yet that I have found performing searches include running the Office Repair tool, or checking for KB2817631 (a Word update that is apparently having adverse affects on Outlook, not attempted yet because it seems to be related to the wwlib.dll
error, which is not happening here).
Any thoughts out there? Thanks!

Mavis,
Thanks for the reply. Running Outlook using /cleansharing and
/cleanroamedprefs did not have any effect when used individually or in combination with each other.
Running the Search Index Rebuild option also did not seem to do anything, as the pop-up message indicated that it may take a long time to finish, and yet seemed to finish instantaneously, not giving any indication that the indexing took place. The option
window immediately said "Indexing complete" for 23,755 items.
As to the Outlook Forum, they are the ones who directed me to this forum (you can see the thread on the Answers support page under Office - Office 2013 - Microsoft Office Outlook - Office on Windows 7, under the title "Outlook 2013 restarts when
opening Calendar Search result item" first posted on Dec 11, 2013), as Girish M felt that it might be due to Exchange, and not Outlook. (I have no reports of any of our other users on the same Exchange server having the problem with their Outlook, but
they also do not use it the way this user has been.)
I can repost the issue there, or continue the same thread, if you think the issue lies with them. Was the "Answers" site the improper place to post, perhaps? Should it go in a different thread on Technet instead?
Thanks for your assistance!
