Can't drag the finder title anymore

Once upon a time I could drag the title of a finder window (say /Volumes/backup) into the terminal window.
Now I get all this in the terminal window:

What is all this and how do I get it so I just get '/Volumes/Backup' again?
Thanks in advance

What you drag is the little "proxy icon" in front of the name of item in the Finder window, and I don't know why yours isn't working--mine does. It looks like what you are getting is the result of a ls -a command. Anyway, if type ls -a, a space, and then drag 'n drop the proxy icon into Terminal, I get this:
NoobiX:~ francine$ ls -a /Volumes/Time
.VolumeIcon.icns
.com.apple.timemachine.supported
.0017f20dca84
.fseventsd
.DS_Store
Backups.backupdb
.Spotlight-V100
Desktop DB
Desktop DF
.Trashes
For a mounted disk, you can also just drag its icon from the Desktop into Terminal.

    Adobe Premier Elements 13 can´t download grafics and titles anymore. Starts downloading very slowly and then PC says "is not connected with the internet" - but it is!

    Some have been finding it easier to download these older versions 9, 10, 11, or 12 versions of Premiere Elements from the following web site as tryout and then to insert the purchased serial number into them at installation.

    It is important that you read and carry out carefully the "Note: Very Important Instructions" on the web page in order to avoid an Access

    my problem is :
    when i first load the application,i can drag the divider of  HDividedBox.
    after i click the remove button,remove all children of HDividedBox.
    i click Add Button  ,add the old child, but i can't drag the divider again.
    i click AddNew Button ,sometime can drag the divider but sometime can't
    it is so strange.i cost a lot of time on it ,but can't find the reason.i need some help to resolve it,thanks!

    Try adding hbox.validateNow() after adding or removing children?

  • How can I see the entire "title" of a page (now truncated)?

    I see that Firefox is now truncating the "title" of web pages. I cannot see any good reason for this because the space to the right of the title is blank. I think it was done in the "do anything to make changes to Firefox" department but in this case it is not an improvement and provides the user with less information.
    How can I fix the browser so I can again see the entire "title" as provided by the web page designer? I don't want to take extra steps (if any) to see it. I want it to display automatically each time.

    That is on the tab. A tab has a maximum width because otherwise a long title would cover the full tab width.
    You can make the Windows title bar visible again in the open the customize window via the 3-bar Firefox menu button (Customize is at the bottom left).<br />
    There you will find the choice to have the title bar visible.

  • How do I put shortcuts to web sites in a (?) tool bar/browser bar...don't know what it is called. With IE, I can just drag the tab for the site to the area I want.

    How do I put shortcuts to web sites in a (?) tool bar/browser bar...don't know what it is called. With IE, I can just drag the tab for the site to the area I want

    Near the right-end of the address bar is a white star which can be difficult to see, but look closely. When you wish to bookmark a shortcut to the toolbar, double click the star. A window will open with the name of the webpage. Under that is the folder box which will probably read 'Unsorted Bookmarks'. Click the drop down arrow and change it to 'Bookmarks Toolbar' then click done.
    I have several folders on my toolbar such as Music, Mail, etc. in which I add multiple websites. If you wish to add a folder, click the second drop down arrow next to 'Bookmark Toolbar' and click 'New Folder' and give it a name.
    To add a bookmark to a folder, again double click the star, make sure you are in Bookmark Toolbar and click one of the two drop down arrows to find the name of the folder.
    For other bookmarks use Bookmark Menu. Whatever is added here can be accessed by Bookmarks on the Menu Bar. If your Menu Bar with Bookmark, File, View, etc. is not visible, click the Alt key and they will become visible. To keep the Menu Bar, click View, Toolbars and check Menu Bar.

  • I use aperture 3 since a long time. Using slit viewer, now the bigger image become bigger then the given space and shifted to the right, so that I can't see the complete picture anymore. And I also don't see the last few picture in the strip below. How ca

    I use aperture 3 since a long time. Using slit viewer, noe the bigger image become bigger then the given space and shifted to the right, so that I can't see the complete picture anymore. And I also don't see the last few picture in the strip below. How can I splve this problem?

    This lloks like your preferences file might have become corrupted.
    you probably have a problem with corrupted user preferences.
    Remove the Preferences: Remove the Aperture's user preferences from the User Library as described here:
    Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics   http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
    Note:Your User Library is hidden by default in 10.7.x or later - to open it in a Finder window use the "Go" menu from the Finder's main menu bar.
    Quit Aperture, if it is running. Log off and on again.
    Open the user library by using the Finder's "Go > Go to Folder" menu and hold down the options-key, until "Library" appears in the drop down menu. Select it.
    In the widow that will open, scroll down to "Preferences"
    From the "Preferences" folder  remove "com.apple.Aperture.plist".
    Then try to launch Aperture again.
    But deleting the "Preferences" file will cause Aperture to forget the preferences settings. Be prepared to have to reset all options you set using the Aperture Preferences panel.

  • My external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive. Same thing has happened with Final Cut Express.

    My new LaCie external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive.
    The same thing happened recently between Final Cut Express and my other LaCie external hard drive used as the Scratch disk. It fixed itself.
    I've run out of ideas. Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

    have you done some searches on FCPx and time machine? Is there a known issue with using a TM drive with FCPx? dunno but ...wait...I'll take 60 sec for you cause I'm just that kind of guy....   google...." fcpx time machine problem"  Frist page link

  • I would like to copy my iPhoto (9.4.1) library from my Mac Pro (10.7.5) to a Macbook Pro (10.7.5). Can I drag the iPhoto Library to Air Drop and send them to the MacBook? Will that then be a usable iPhoto library on the Macbook?

    I would like to copy my iPhoto (9.4.1) library from my Mac Pro (10.7.5) to a Macbook Pro (10.7.5). Can I drag the iPhoto Library from the Pictures folder to Air Drop and send them to the MacBook? If I then move that to the Pictures folder on the MacBook will that then be a usable iPhoto library on the Macbook?

    It would be better if you could connect the two Macs via a hard wired LAN to copy the library from the Mac Pro to the MacBook.  Wireless connections can have momentary dropouts which could affect the reliable copying of files. 
    If you do go with Air Drop be sure to open and inspect the copied library closely to confirm it was a successulf copy.

    how can i remove the page title above the File,Edit,View,History,Bookmark tab in firefox

    In Firefox 29 and Firefox 30:
    "3-bar" menu button > Customize
    In the lower left, click the Title Bar button to switch the title on and off.
    In Firefox 28, I actually can't remember!
    I would be remiss if I didn't remind you:

    * You can modify Firefox 30 to restore many of the UI features of earlier versions of Firefox using the techniques in the following article (and/or with assistance from forum volunteers): [[How to make the new Firefox look like the old Firefox]].
