"arrange by" option in finder is not available. help!

i recently upgraded to Leopard. now, Finder does not allow me to set "Arrange by". It is grayed out. What this means is that when I do spotlight search, I cannot list search results by type because this option is not available.
Any ideas as to what is going on? Thanks!

You are right. It works in icon mode. Thanks!
I was trying to bring back the spotlight view that Tiger had where the files were neatly separated into categories. Further search on this forum indicates that Leopard does not have that option...

  • On right mouse click, there is no "save as" or "copy image" when I want to save a pictureon line. I have to go back to IE to access this option. Is this not available? Many thanks, Joy

    On right mouse click, there is no "save as" or "copy image" when I want to save a picture on line. I have to go back to IE to use this option. Is this not available? Many thanks, Joy
    There are so many occasions on line when I want to save an image that I can't believe I can't do so using Firefox, which I find so good in all other ways. I can Bookmark, save a page or send a link, but not take a simple copy image.

    Hi, Many thanks for replying, it's much appreciated. I started Firefox in safe mode and found I had the full right click menu on a pic on my home page. However, after moving around the web, I've found that the problem still occurs in eBay and it doesn't make any difference in safe mode. still no full menu. After returning to normal mode, I find that this still stands i.e. I do get the full menu on other sites but not in eBay. As I often want to save a pic in Ebay and can do so in IE, I'm baffled as to why this one site is giving problems. As this is where I've mostly been trying to save pics, I didn't realise that it was a "one site" problem and not applicable to everywhere else. If IE didn't work in this respect, I could blame the eBay site, but it does, so that just makes it more puzzling - and very annoying! I have tried accessing Ebay direct, rather than clicking on the toolbar, but this makes no difference. Any further thoughts would be much appreciated. Joy

  • Finder is not available for standard user

    Hi,
    I recently installed OS X (10.8.2) from app store. We created "Data" folder and created few admin and non admin users. Granted access to both users to same folder. When admin logged off and standard user logged in, he could not find Finder. Repeated this with 8 standard users and Finder is not available for all 8 standard users. For 2 admin users Finder is available.
    We did not change any settings whatsoever, so not sure this behavier is by design or I am missing something.
    Please help
    Thanks in advance.

    Are you running OS X 10.8 client or Server (is Server.app installed)? If you are using OS X Server, are these local accounts or network accounts?
    What do you mean by "could not find Finder?" As in could not log in? Could not access this 'Data' folder in Finder?

    2.using sysprep to create clone
    3. created 3 copy of the file
    4.installed 3 machine from file (DC,node1,node2)
    4.on DC created domain
    5.joined node1 and node2 to domain
    6.created cluster
    When I was going to install SQL server from ISO to node1 and node2 I noticed that in media action option to attach disk is not available (it show no disk to display) on node1 and node2
    However on DC machine  I can attach ISO disk!
    Why option to attach disk is not available on other machine and how make it available?
    Currently I access disk from node1 and2  from domain using \\DC\D\setup.exe
    P.S

    Hi AlexMtl,
    Based on my knowledge , physical DVD only can be mapped to IDE controller in VM .
    "you can only assign the physical CD/DVD drive to one VM at the same time (running VM)."

    Gen2 VM can add DVD device attach to SCSI controller and insert .ISO file (this file should be used by multiple VMs ).

  • Application Gig Finder is not available

    Hi OVI,
    tried to download Gig-Finder app for my E52. It first stated that there is a version compatible to my E52 but when I received the SMS with the link to download, I found a web page stating that the app is not available in my country or whatever.
    bad, bad customer experience :-(

    Are you running OS X 10.8 client or Server (is Server.app installed)? If you are using OS X Server, are these local accounts or network accounts?
    What do you mean by "could not find Finder?" As in could not log in? Could not access this 'Data' folder in Finder?

  • Tried to update to IOS6 and now my ipad is trying to restore -- getting error "activation server not available" help!  Have I lost all my video files?

    I was trying to do a simple udate of the ios software.  I connected to ITunes and the Ipad screen popped up saying there was an update available.  I clicked on the update and it started updating and also there was a message saying it was backing up.  But then I got a message to click here to complete the update -- with a restore.  I did that and now my IPad is n ot woking at all -- I get the initial startup screen and a message that says "your ipad cannot be activated because the activation server is not available"  I've tried connecting to itunes and get the same message -- server not available.  The devices menu option is grayed out so I cant sync, backup,, restore nothing.... HELP! please!  I only wanted to do a simple update -- now I think I've lost all my pictures and video files -- is there a way to get them back??

    Try restarting everything and then try to sync or reactivate. Quit iTunes, reboot your computer, reboot your iPad and then try again.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Pro PC with Windows 7 - error mess "Adobe PDF Printer - not available" Help?

    Just loaded my old Acrobat 7.0 Professional on new PC with Windows 7 - Error message "Adobe PDF Priner not available.  Therefore do not have option of Adobe printer when using Word.
    Any ideas as to what  - if anythjing I can do?

    Hi,
    Technically acrobat 7 not not designed for windows 7 OS. You can try to install the pdf printer manually but it's not guaranteed :
    Click the Windows "Start" menu, select "Control Panel," choose "Hardware and Sound," click the "Add a Printer" link under Devices and Printers.
    Click "Next" and select "Local Printer Attached to This Computer."
    Remove the check from "Automatically Detect and Install My Plug and Play Printer" and click "Next."
    Select "My Documents\\*.pdf (Adobe PDF)" in the port selection drop-down menu and click "Next."
    Select the "Have Disk" option and click the "Browse" button to open a dialog box.
    Select the "AdobePDF.inf" file located in the AdobePDF folder in your Program Files directory under "Adobe" | "Acrobat 9.0" | "Acrobat" | "Xtras."
    Select the first item on the list of Adobe PDF Converter options and click "Next."
    Type "Adobe PDF" in the field for a printer name and click "Next."
    Wait for two minutes for the system to process the drivers and click "Finish" to close the Add a Printer wizard.
    Hope this helps.

  • CS5 Preview in Finder (Mac) not available?

    Hi all,
    I'm used to save a preview thumbnail with every ID file I make (a setting in InDesign preferences), so when I'm scanning a folder in Finder (Mac) I can almost instantly see what the contents of a certain ID file is. Well, was, until I switched to CS5.
    Somehow I cannot see the preview/thumbnail image in de ID CS5 file in the Finder, in Bridge however, the preview is very good.
    Am I missing something, or is the Finder not capable of showing InDesign CS5 previews.
    I run Mac Snow Leopard 10.6.3

    You were using a special program to see the CS4 thumbnails. It's not a native option from InDesign and/or Mac OSX.
