Can't get Cover Flow to keep previous window settings, help?

I'm sure that there is some easy quick fix to this but I couldn't find it anywhere doing various web searches. Anyway, I'm new to Snow Leopard and I've noticed a very irritating difference/glitch/whatever between it and Leopard.
I am a graphics guy and I always used Cover Flow in Finder to search through my documents and files and heap of images. The old Cover Flow view always opened new windows to the size and proportions (image vs. text) as my previous window(s). In this new Snow Leopard that I installed, whenever I open a new Finder window in Cover Flow it gives me this huge 90% image view with just this small 10% file texts at the bottom of the window. Each time I have to click and drag the divider bar back up to the 50% line. If I click on a file, again, the view jumps to this flippin' huge image view and I have to drag the divider back up to the middle.
Is there anyway to get Finder to be like in the old Leopard where it remembers that I want Cover Flow to always be a 50/50 split between seeing the images and the file names? Its driving me crazy. I would assume there is just some little button or something that I am missing. Thanks.

I gave that a try and it "kinda" works but doesn't really solve the annoyance. If you resize it again in the slightest or shift the divider bar, the whole thing jumps back to the 90/10 view. Why!?!?! Does that not drive anyone else insane?
Thanks for the duct tape fix though Captfred. I can at least use that in the mean time. I really hope they fix that problem with the next update. It worked just fine before, but now it makes cover flow somewhat unusable.

  • How can I get cover flow to work on a fifth generation Ipod classic

    I have a fifth generation Ipod. Is there any way I can get cover flow or something similar? When I'm browsing through my music, I want to be able to see the album cover, rather than just the album title.
    Thank youl

    Not possible.

  • How can I get the store to keep my filter settings while browsing apps (with  iPad)

    While looking for apps via(and for) my iPad, often I will start with a simple one word search term, then use the category, rating, price, and product filters to narrow my search - works great.
    BUT if I select an app to go to it's details page, when I navigate back to the previous page, all of the filters have been reset, and I've lost my place in the list even if I was 6 pages in.  This also happens when I re-open the app store after I choose to install an app.
    Why, Why, Why?!? This kind of poor user experience is so 1975.
    Please help me resolve, or at the very least, come to terms with this issue.

    iBooks only syncs purchased books. Others must be synced in iTunes.

  • Have a company based itunes account, trying to share itunes on bank owned devices. can't get all devices to keep our shared password on them without requesting user to enter password (which i am not giving them)

    i am an IT manager for a bank.  we have several company owned iphones. WE have also implemented a mobile device management system to manage our iphones. 
    We setup acompany based itunes account, trying to share itunes on bank owned devices.  This way i can add bank approved apps to the devices through our itunes account and push out to the iphones, and no one can download any other non bank approved apps.
    it has been working ok. but recently i had one user who came in.  He went to enter in his itunes account on the phone and didn't work. So then came back and my staff and myself have (as much as we can see) removed his email account itunes login from all sections in settings. and entered in our itunes account information, but when you go to the app store, and hit upgrade, it still shows his email account for itunes.  I feel like i can't get all devices to keep our shared password on them without requesting user to enter password (which i am not giving them)
    How can i troubleshoot his device. i tried changing password 5 times today, rebooted device, and no change.

    i have an MDM application, and i push out the apps i want them to have with our IT apple id account. for some reason when two approved apps needed updating last week, they prompted him for our password. (which i told him to bring phone in and i would enter password).
    but somehow he went to try to enter his personal to make it work (don't know why)
    somewhere it's keeping his personal email. i went into itunes/apps and our apple id is in there.
    there is nothing in icloud b/c we do not allow icloud, so that's clear.

    Only if that capability is built into the app itself (and it isn't in the case of iOs native apps).

  • Still can't use cover flow

    okay, i still can't use cover flow. i got the itunes 7 update, 7.0.1, but it still comes up with "can't browse album covers on this computer." is it just because i use windows 2000, or do i need to change something on my computer?

    It shouldn't be related to Windows 2000, and luckily there are a few things you can try.
    First, here's Apple's reference to the problem, iTunes 7 for Windows is unable to display album covers in Cover Flow.
    The following have fixed the problem for many people...
    Make sure the graphics card has 32Mb of memory or more. If you're not sure carry on as we're going check this later
    Download and install iTunes 7.0.1 (or higher), http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Make sure that your Hardware Acceleration is set at Full. Control Panel > Display, Settings > Advanced, Troubleshoot
    Install the latest drivers for your Graphics card - this fixes most problems
    Download and install DirectX 9.0c (or higher), DirectX 9.0c
    Start > Run, type dxdiag and press enter. Go to the Video tab (or Display n) and enable DirectDraw Acceleration and Direct3D acceleration.
    Whilst on this tab check the Approx. Total Memory value to ensure your graphics card has at-least 32MB of available memory
    If iTunes still isn't working...
    Uninstall iTunes, don't re-install just yet...
    Install Quicktime 7.1.3 (or higher), http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
    Install iTunes again
    However, I can confirm that none of the above will work for the Matrox G550. Guess which card I have...
    P4 2GHz, 1GB RAM   Windows XP Pro   SP2; Matrox G550; Dual screen

  • HT201441 I can't get a hold of the previous owners iCloud how else can i erase the account

    I can't get a hold of the previous owners iCloud account or Apple ID ,how else can I erase his account so I could activate my phone

    So after hitting "Delete" for the second time (which I did not do because I did not want to delete my account) it asks for a password?
    Can't the phone just be reset back to factory?
    Settings>General>Reset>[choose your option]
    or
    Reset throught the iTunes you will be syncing with?

    If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
    iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    iOS- Understanding passcodes
    A Complete Guide to Recover Your iDevice if You Forget Your Passcode
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
             option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
             necessary to create another.
         7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
             you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
         8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
             logo while starting up:
               After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
              to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
              iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
              you see "iPhone is activated."
         9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
    If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
    Placing your device into recovery mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
         1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
             of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
         2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the
             red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
              and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
              and Home buttons.
         3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
             The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
             charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
             start with step 2 again.
         4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
             When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
         5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
         6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • I can't get iTunes to work properly on Windows 8

    I can't get iTunes to work properly on Windows 8. I tried everything and iTunes is NOT compatible with Windows 8. There is either an iTunes issue or a Microsoft issue.

    I finally got it to work right. Some files and folders (iTunes video files, etc) were referenced to my iTunes account, I copied from my backup (external) Hard Drive to my system Hard Drive. The only thing that can keep me from accessing my wish list for some time is a very heavy Internet traffic via iTunes players to iTunes Store. So everything is now NORMAL.

  • How can I quit (close) Photoshop and keep all windows so that the next time I open Photoshop the fil

    How can I quit (close) Photoshop and keep all windows so that the next time I open Photoshop all the files that I had open are there already in the same position as when I closed Photoshop?
    I've been a Fireworks user for over 10 years and just switched to Photoshop. I cannot find a setting that will enable all my file windows to reopen when I quit Photoshop. This is really a problem since I often work on several files at the same time.
    Please let me know if the feature exists or point me to where I can post a message for a new feature to be implemented. The feature is a must for any designer working on large projects.
    Thanks!

    There is no such functionality. You could perhaps create a script that stores that info in a custom text file and arranges them accordingly in the workspace, but that's as good as it gets...

    Keep powering your phone off and back on, it can take up to 2 hours for a normal service provider to finalize the activation process.  When you got your new iPhone (congrats by the way) you should have received a little bubble that appeared that told you when the phone was activated, did you see that?
