Can I automatically clean up by name on Finder?

I find that icons in folders often get disorganized when I'm moving things around and regularily have to hit cmd+ctrl+1 to clean up by name in the Finder. Is there any way I can have that set by default for all folders?

Try CMD j... in the Information Window that opens select... Arrange by Name...

Can't automatically retrieve CD track names after upgrade to 9.0.2

I can't automatically retrieve CD track names from Internet after upgrade itunes to 9.0.2. Is it a bug for this update or I did something worng. I am using macbook pro with 10.5.8. Thanks.

I have exactly the same problem. The MP4 files are valid and I'm using the same application to create them as I always did. I drag the MP4 file to itunes and nothing happens. If I use "Add File" or "Add Folder" nothing happens. If you find a fix, let me know because this is a major impact to me as well!

Can't rename file name under Finder even as an administrator.

As an adminstrator to my MacBook Pro, why can't I rename certain file name under Finder?

Have you tried running lsof from the Terminal?
Lsof will show you any files that are open, the likelihood is that your file is in use.

HT4906 I want to download the new updates I think to the 10.9 but our mac was given to us and when it comes to the last page it asks for the user name and password but this mac was wiped clean. How do I find out this info so I can get iPhoto?

I want to download the new updates I think to the 10.9 but our mac was given to us and when it comes to the last page it asks for the user name and password but this mac was wiped clean. How do I find out this info so I can get iPhoto? To be honest I'm not even sure what type of Mac I have and don't know how to find out what kind it is
I'd also like to make address labels and don't know where to find that either

You would make address lables with the Contacts app.
If you don't have the user name and password used to set up the machine then you need to purchase the apps for yourself.

How can I automatically create the files with serie-name?

Hello, Everyone,
I have a question again.
How can I automatically create the file with a serie-filename?
e.g. I have a program, it will repeat 5 times, and every time it will create a bmp-file, and I want to let this program automatically save these 5 files with a Serie-filename like File001.bmp, File002.bmp, .... File005.bmp.
How can I do it?`
Thanks a lot.
Regarts,
Johnny

Hi Deepu,

The format code should be "%04d" to get leading zeros and have filenames with same length...

Automatic clean of Recent Folders list in Finder's "Go" menu: how I did it

Hi everybody. I just would like to share with you the trick I have found to automatically clean the "Recent Folders" list in Finder's "Go" menu.
It costed me some work but eventually it worked.
I wanted it to run at shutdown. If it were executed at startup it would need an extra command (killall Finder) to work properly.
This is how I got it:
Open the terminal and do the followings:
cd /etc/
sudo nano rc.shutdown.local
insert your sudo password
into the nano editor write the following lines:
#!/bin/bash
cd /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/
defaults delete /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder FXRecentFolders
chown YourUserName:YourGroup com.apple.finder.plist
Close (ctrl+x) and save (y and return)
And now some explanations.
the first instruction (#!/bin/bash) is just needed if you have an empty or not-existing rc.shutdown.localfile otherwise it should be just there.
YourUserName is obviously the name of your user whose Finder's preference file you want to edit.
YourGroup is the group your user belongs to. Usually it is 'staff'.
the chown is needed because all this commands are executed by the script as root. So the "defaults delete" command changes the ownership of the com.apple.finder.plist to root:wheel, resulting in the loss of your Finder's preferences at reboot.
For the same reason the "defaults" command specify the exact path to the domain to be edited (without the .plist part as usual).
The rc.shutdown.local does not need to be set as executable. It works as it is created by nano but please remember to reboot twice after any change in order to see the effects.
I hope it could be clear enough and somehow useful.
Please feel free to add comment, questions or improvement suggestion.
Thanks
Bye

Alright I have windows 7 and I tried downloading the new iPhone software at least 8 times now and each time the download completes, but then promps me that the connection has timed out. I am certain that it is not my internet connection because I have used several different networks. I was wondering if anyone had any idea how to change my internet options if that is the problem. I turned off all of my firewalls since I could not find a way to allow itunes to pass through the firewall even though it seems to be allowed. Thanks to anyone that can help.

Can you automatically delete anchor points when a new image is placed on top - so that it 'replaces'

Hi all,
I know that I can delete anchor points but I was wondering if there is a shortcut to do it on a larger scale.
Can you automatically delete anchor points when a new image is placed on top - so that it 'replaces' the image, only on the parts obviously that you cover with the new one.
Thank you all

Hi,
I'm using CS6, and I have a tree vector image, and I am trying to put names on top, but when I do this to keep it clean with no anchor points (as my other software cant read it with all the points in it) I have to manually delete each one but it deletes the whole path and I then end up with a tree, names on top, and a big gappy circle around the names.
So really, I wanted to add the names on top, and have that delete all anchors underneath .
Does this make sense? :S

I have a problem with mail autofilling info email addresses. Emails sent to me the from looks like this: Holiday in the United States email address . I have no idea what this Holiday in the United States is...How can I fix/change to my name?

I have an irritating problem with mail autofilling info in email addresses. Emails sent to me the from looks like this: Holiday in the United States <my email address>. I have no idea what this Holiday in the United States is or how it got to be there...How can I fix/change to my name?
I fixed the To: autofilling incorrectly by deleting my email address from the Previous Recipients List, but is there a way to stop that from coming up on emails that I receive?

Have you checked your Mac address book? If your email is saved somewhere in your address book with the name "Holidays in the United States" it might be adding the name automatically in Mac Mail.
Alternatively, try this:
Delete an Email Address from Auto-Complete in Mac OS X Mail
To remove an email address from the auto-complete list in Mac OS X Mail:
Start typing the recipient's address or name in a new message.
Select the desired address from the auto-complete list as if you'd compose an email to them.
Click the small down arrow in the recipient.
Select Remove from Previous Recipients List from the menu.
You can also search for the unwanted address directly in the previous recipients list:
Select Window | Previous Recipients from the menu in Mac OS X Mail.
Highlight the address you want to remove.You can highlight multiple addresses by holding down the Command key.
Click Remove from List.

Can you automate actions involving pairs of images?

Hi everyone,
This is my situation:
I want to take a headshot and a name and then paste both onto a background image and then save out the result. But I want to do this with many pairs of headshots and names. The headshot and name are each in separate images, and the background image is a separate image that will be the same for every pair. Using batch commands I know I can easily insert the headshots into the same background, or the names into the same background, but is there a way to insert both the name and headshot into this background and save out the results? From what I can tell, there doesn't seem to be a way to do this without getting into scripting.
I'm using Photshop CS5.5 with Windows.
Any answers would be appreciated.
Thanks and regards

Creating data driver graphics is one way to create the kind of collage you want. If you have all the information in a database or spread sheet they can mostlikelt create the CSV files you need to go with the template you create.
As been pointed out an other way to do it is with Photoshop Scripting however you need some to design some collage process. I put togeter a set of Script to populate Collage templates that follow four simple rules. It would be very easy to create a template for two images. The images can be stamped with the files name in one of 9 positions. The Ordere in which images will be populated from a source image folder can be controlled ny adding a sequence number followed by a # as a prefix to the file name example "100#John Doe Jr..jpg" "101#Bozo The Clown.psd" "200#George Washing.CR2" 201#Marther Washington.tif" Using the BatchMultiImageCollage scripu you select the two Image protrait template point to the source folder point at the target folder check that you want name stamps select the font and position. The prefix and extention will not be part of the name stamp.

"Automatically retrieve CD track names from internet" not working

I'm about to begin re-ripping all my CDs (400+) which I haven't done since at least 14yrs ago in order to take advantage on newer/better formats. I was excited to see that iTunes can automate a lot of this process with the following two options:
- When you insert a CD: (Import CD and Eject)
- [ ] Automatically retrieve CD track names from internet
Found in the "Playback" settings of iTunes 10.1.1
However after inserting my first CD, I noticed it started to import without downloading the track names first. Obtaining track names manually is working for me because if I choose "Advanced -> Get track names" it accesses Gracenote DB and works fine.
It's just the automatic operation after inserting a CD that is not working. This causes me to have to:
1) Insert CD
2) Choose "Advanced -> Get track names"
3) Click "Import CD"
4) Eject
as opposed to the one supposedly promised step of "Insert CD" and have the other 3 things happen automatically.
I've tried deleting my iTunes plists in my ~/Library/Preferences/ folder but it still works the same.
Any suggestions?

You can seach the Gracenote site directly. I don't know if that would help you decide which option you needed to use.

Can I automate the process of printing booklet?

Can I automate the process of printing booklet?
I use a saved Print Preset named "A5 booklet"
I supply page range 1-16 then print as pdf using PDFCreater.
File Name as 01.pdf, then pages 17-32 as 02.pdf and so on.
I am aware that InDesign provides printBooklet() method through scripting, but I have no clues how to use it.
Any links or scripts are welcome.
Thanks and regards.

Thanks stephen0218 for the idimposer link.
I'm aware of Print Booklet... functionality, and I am currently using it to manually print booklets from InDesign files.
I want to automate the print booklet task itself.
I make 01.pdf with page range of 1-16, then 02.pdf with page range 17-32 and so on.
It is not that much tedious for small files of upto 160 pages, which generate 10 pdf files. But for larger projects of upto 600 pages, the manual work is very time consuming and error prone process.
I tried to call "document.printBooklet" function in JavaScript, but got stuck in supplying dynamic page ranges.
Here is the Documentation.
It will be a great help if anyone can help me here.
Thanks and regards.

How do I get it to automatically fill in my name/address/email/etc. when filling out forms?

Is there a setting that makes the computer automatically fill in my name, address, email address, etc. when I'm filling out forms, like in other browsers I've used?

You can do that with the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/4775/ Autofill Forms] add-on.

How can I safely clean my Mac of old folders etc to make it run faster?er

How can I safely clean my Mac of old folders, etc to make it run faster?

The only real and safe way to do this is to do it manually looking through each folder individually.
Many third party utilities claim to clean out a hard drive of various detritus, but some times will delete data that it shouldn't and delete any other important data that it shouldn't have.
The only "safe" way to accomplish what you need to accomplish is to do this manually.
Stay away from the OS X system folder!!!!!
Hard drive getting full?
You can download an app called OmniDiskSweeper.
This app will allow you to see where files maybe able to be delete are located.
If your Mac is running a fairly recent version of OS X, here are some general guidelines.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your iMac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto, iPhoto has its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you have images stored in iPhoto,,the only way to weed out duplicates is to do this manually.
When you delete them, they go to iPhoto's Trash. Remember to empty this when you are done.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what are duplicates and what isn't
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Other things you can do to gain space.
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.
Good Luck!

Automatic Clean-out orders

Hi,
I am trying to find a way to automatically generate clean-out orders in a certain resource. The restriction I have is that after 7 times I use that specific resource I have to clean it.
Is there a way to insert the cleaning order or some other down-time so I can plan the cleaning?
I am considering the use of production campaign planning as an option to program those cleaning orders.
thank you in advance
Fernando
Edited by: fmorenoo on May 4, 2010 5:43 PM

Hi Senthil thanks for your quick response,
The issue I am dealing with is that I don't know when I will have the downtime because my production orders don't have the same duration so if I schedule a downtime using /sapapo/res01 I will probably shorten the capacity of my resource. On the other way, if I cannot use the badi /SAPAPO/CRESDOWNTIME because once I start using my resource I cannot stop it.
So what I am thing is about getting a Heuristic or a certain optimization process where I can first plan my production orders and then insert the downtime where it corresponds after 7 times of using my resource.
Thank you,
Fernando
