Calculate all sizes not saving

I clicked View>Show View Options in Finder, and clicked "calculate all sizes"
However, when I restart, the option comes unchecked.
Any way to force it to save this?
Thanks!

The problem seems to have resolved itself.
I don't know how, or why, but it did.

"Calculate all sizes" checkbox not working in Lion

Even when I have checked "Calculate all sizes" in View options, Lion does not show the sizes of many files and folders. The size information is also missing when I do a command-I. Has anyone figured out how to make Lion show file sizes?

On my Lion install (10.7.1), I don't see that checkbox at all in the view options window. Anybody know why?
EDIT: Oops, I just realized that checkbox (and several others) are only visible in list view, not column view.

Get Info versus Calculate All Sizes

When I go to Finder > View Options and set Calculate All Sizes to "on" for all windows, the GB Free is posted under the hard drive icon (e.g. 94.04 GB, 24.45 GB free). If that value changes for any reason (download of files, whatever), it doesn't immediately update the values under the icon. If I do a Get Info, however, it has updated immediately.
Is there a way to force Get Info and Calculate to remain in synchronization?

That should do the trick.

that option does not display the HD sizes so its useless when copying between drives, no way to determing how much space is left with out loking for a new window which is backwards,
i dont see anything cool about lion, maybe if i just got my first mac and into games, nice job apple, not only forgeting pro users into graphics or film but regular day to day real life situations users who are not just at apple presentations or in a store trying out a mac, to think their is no need for this feature proves who the marketing department is actually targeting for sales,, talk about a flash in the pan presintation

View Options - Calculate All Sizes

For some reason, I am not getting any sizes for folders inside one particular folder even though I have calculate all sizes checked. It is not a speed issue. It works on other folders, but I have one folder that it just fails in.
If I create a totally new folder in another area I get sizes. If I add folders and drag items into these new folders I get sizes. If I drag folders from the non-calculating folder into the correctly working folder the newly added folder still does not calculate. But if I copy the contents of the non-calculating folders into newly created folder then it does calculate the sizes.
Also, if I copy the contents out of a non-calculating folder into a new folder and then copy them back, the folder starts calculating the size. So that is my workaround.
One note, all the folders that are not calculating were copied from a network drive (Novell network).
Just a very odd bug.
Not sure how to report this bug. Any suggestions?

The funny thing is that I have an empty folder which size is impossible to calculate, either by the "calculate all sizes" in the view option or by the Infos window for that folder.
That might be a problem with old folders created in Tiger or before. For example, no way to get the size of any Adobe CS3 folder, but each document or folder size inside each InDesign or Photoshop folder is listed adequately. Stragely, the Illustrator folder works fine !
So, I've done a little experiment. I've created a new folder named "Adobe ind" and put all the content of the "Adobe InDesign" folder. The size came intantly... Than, I've put all the document back in the old folder and everything is OK.
Tedious job, but it works,

Try this ..
On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to: Notes
Then reselect it.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.
Other than that, try Time Machine > http://pondini.org/TM/15m.html

Why is "calculate all sizes" box greyed out?

I am trying to manage THREE iPhoto libraries (want to consolidate two of them because I think there are dupications) on an external drive.
First step, I'd like to see how much space each of my folders on this disk takes up.
I was told, go to Finder screen, choose view options and click the "calculate all sizes" box.
Mine is greyed out, unavailable. Why?

That was the problem, thank you!

What happened to "calculate all sizes"?

I'd like Finder to calculate folder sizes in a list view. When I went to View/View Options menu, the "calculate all sizes" option wasn't there. Is this a change with OS 10.4.4?
iBook G4 1.42Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.4)

No change--it should be there. It should be there, down at the bottom with the Use Relative Dates option. You could try opening a Finder window, open the View Options window, then hit Command-1, Command-3 and finally Command-2 to get back to list view. If there is still no sign of Calculate Sizes you could try removing
"/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist"
and then restart. Also try logging into a test account and see it that account is working correctly.

SQL Server Configuration Manager (2012 SP1): "IP All" Setting Not Saving

I have 4 SQL Server 2012 SP1 clusters, and under Network Configuration ->
TCP/IP -> Protocol (tab), I am able to switch
Listen All from Yes to No. However, when I hit
OK (or Apply), I get the message:
Any changes made will be saved; however they will not take effect until the service is stopped and restarted.
OK, fine.
Now, if I re-open the TCP/IP properties, Listen All is back to
Yes.
This happens even after I restart the SQL Server service, and it happens on all 4 instances.
I have checked the version of Configuration Manager - 2011.0110.2100.060. I've compared this with a (non clustered) SQL Server 2012 where I can flip the
IP All field at whim, the versions are the same (as are the SQL Server versions,
11.0.3000.0 Build 7601).
I've also ensured that under IP Addresses, the one that I want to use has
Enabled = Yes, all other IPs have Enabled = No.
Neither BOL nor Google have any useful information for me.
Has anyone seen this before? Bug or WAD (and I'm doing something wrong)?

Hi,
Per
Case 4: SQL Server is installed in a clustered environment:
On cluster, you cannot configure SQL Server to listen on a specific IP addresses. You must chose IPALL. The IP addresses on which the cluster instance will be listening on is determined by cluster resources (configurable through Cluster Administrator,
by adding IP Address resources under SQL Network Name resource).
Here is a workaround:

Custom Paper sizes not saving

Hi everyone
Our IT department has just installed Acrobat X Pro on our PC and I have downloaded the instructions for printing custom paper sizes, but they don't save. I go to the printers and faxes, right click on the pdf printer, click on add under the PDF settings tab, add the name, dimensions etc ... click on modify/save ... and nada. When I go to print it isn't there. What am I doing wrong. I know it's going to be something really simple and I'm being a numpty.
It's so much simpler on the mac. lol

Hi Daniel. Thanks for that. It will let me gang up, but not repeat the page so I have a full page of the same thing. I read somewhere on here that I need a plug in for that. Is this correct? The thing is, I'm their graphic designer and they're making me redundant in a couple of months so I won't be here to keep on top of things for them. I use a mac which works perfectly, but they're wanting everything set up on the PC before I go because no-one other me uses macs and they want to put the system to bed. I expect they're going to have keep it going if they don't get the admin rights. To be fair, I really shouldn't care ... but I do. I'm such a sad sack. lol
Thanks for all your help with this.

Finder window size not saved when cmd+click

Hi. I'm not sure if anyone else is having this problem. I look through the forum but didn't find it posted.
I re-sized my finder to a certain size and have done the same to some other folder such that they are basically all different sizes. However, at some point, if I cmd+double click a folder to open it, the window size is reverted back to that of my home folder. I know this didn't happen in 10.5 and may have to do with the .DS_Store file. Anyways, it's an annoyance and any help would be appreciated. THanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you tried to repair your hard drive using Disk Utility? You will need to boot from your install disc, navigate to Disk Utility, and then select your hard drive and then "Repair Disk". Repair it until there is nothing left to repair.
Also, be sure you have adequate free space on your hard drive. 15% at least.
How old is your Mac, and does it still have the original hard drive? Hard drives typically have an average useful life of 3-5 years, and if yours is getting into this range (or even if it isn't), the hard drive could be beginning to fail.
To do a detailed check on the physical health of your hard drive, download and run this utility:

You can download the demo and run it several times for free.
Good luck!

Page Setup / Paper Size not saved

Hi,
I would like to change the default paper size for printing from US letter to A4. I change the paper size via File > Print > Page Setup > Paper Size to A4, but this setting is always lost once I close and restart Adobe Reader (paper size defaults back to US letter). I am using Adobe Reader X MUI on Windows XP at the moment, but I had the same issue with Adobe Reader 9.4.1 as well (there the menu is File > Page Setup > Paper Size).
Is there any way to make Adobe Reader remember a different default paper size (other than US letter)?
The printer has A4 as default in case anyone is wondering.
Thanks!

File Sizes Not Showing Up In Finder

Well lately spotlight has been really slow and sizes for files have not been showing up in spotlight, what could be the problem?
Here is a screenshot:
http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/1299/picture1av9.png

I don't think your picture has anything to do with Spotlight. My Applications folder shows up the exact same way. Mac OS X applications aren't usually a single item, they're "packages" with items and folders inside. To get folders and packages to show their size, you'll have to change the "View Options" from the View menu. Check the box on to "Calculate all sizes". I would probably change the dialog box to reflect the changes to "This window only". Otherwise the Finder will be re-calculating the size of everything in every window. That could slow things down a bit.

DIAdem not saving all samples from TDMS file

Hello to all,
I have several large TDMS files (1.8Gb each) containing approx. 120 million sampels. When I try to open these fiels in Diadem it previews the correct amount of samples (120 Million), but when I try to save tha data in Matlab format it saves me only half the samples, 60 Million. Also, I have a Matlab script that opens the TDMS files and does exactly the same thing, it is not saving all samples.
Can you please advise me on this issue? Is there a way to automatically fragment large TDMS files into smaller ones?
Best regards,
Ion

Hello Jean Baptiste,
It seems your TDMS file is fine since you have the correct number of data in DIAdem.
It may comes from the conversion to the MatLab format. Maybe MatLab can't accept more than 60 millions data. You should ask that to the MatLab expert on their forum.
However, if you want to fragment your TDMS file, you have to do it manually in DIAdem, when you load the file into the Data Portal, or you can automate the function by using VBScript. (Last panel in DIAdem)
An other solution would be to fragment your TDMS file directly where you write it. (In LabVIEW maybe?)

Bookmarks saved to a uniquely named bookmarks "folder" using "Bookmark All Tabs" not exporting.

I used the Bookmark All Tabs feature to save a group of bookmarks into bookmark "folders". I did that by right-clicking on one of the tabs, choosing "Bookmark All Tabs". For "Folder Name" I entered "Watches". The default entry in the "Folder" field was "Bookmarks Menu", which I did not change. When I look at my list of bookmarks there is a separate "folder" named "Watches" that contains all the bookmarks I saved. So far so good. The problem came when I used "Export Bookmarks to HTML..." When I opened the "bookmarks" folder I noticed that the name "Watches" appeared on the page, but none of the actual "Watches" bookmarks were there. I thought that maybe they were contained somewhere within the bookmarks file, but I just could not see them. However, after I imported the bookmarks into IE none of the "Watches" bookmarks were there.
Why are the "Watches" bookmarks not included within the exported "bookmarks" file? I've searched Google but haven't seen where anyone else has mentioned this problem.
Incidentally, I have other bookmarks I've saved the same way (i.e., "Bookmark All Tabs"), and none of them are being exported either. Also, doing the export with all add-ons disabled made no difference.
Thanks.

Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

Not all form's fields not saving

I have created a form from a blank PDF sheet.
I have saved the form and enabled usage rights for Adobe reader.
When I open the form in reader, it indicates I can save the form. If I fill in the form, and save it, it seems to work as intended. When I re-open the file, only 20% of the fields appear. I cannot see the previous data, even if I select the field.
If I save the form in as a text file all of the entered data is saved properly.
Basically the form is not saving ALL of the entered data.
What might be the problem?
Below is a link to the pdf I created:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/49rrmtvl1ltv5lg/License%20Information%20test.pdf

There are unnamed text fields in your table. This is the reason when you re-open the form, no data is remerged back in, because there is no field name to match with. Column cells under the headers,
Power Output:, ERP:, Antenna Height (Meters):, and Emission Designator(s):
all suffer from this problem.
The fix would be to give these table cells names.
