Can't view most folders in icon view, it just crashes.

When I try to do icon view in most folders, finder freezes and restarts. But the strange thing is that icon view works in most sections of my home folder.

Try another user account to see if it is only in your account.
Also, try starting in Safe Mode which will disable any third-party extensions that might be interfering.
If either of those prevent the issues, we can try to sort it out from there.

  • I already bought mac book pro last year but it can't view windows just like mac pro for education. I want to make like it. How?

    I already bought mac book pro last year but it can't view windows just like mac pro for education. I want to make like mac pro for education How?

    First, if you have a MACBOOK PRO (a laptop), you should post in that forum. MAC PRO (desktop) and Macbook Pro are different things, so when you use those terms interchangeably, it's impossible to know what you're talking about.
    Second, even guessing that you have a laptop, I still have no idea what your question means. Are you trying to load Microsoft Windows on it? Every Mac can run Windows using either Boot Camp or Parallels/Fusion/VMWare solutions. Please explain in more detail what you're trying to do, and we'll try to help. But post in the Macbook Pro forum if you're talking about a laptop.

  • I can't access most .mil sites pretty sure I just need it to let me add the security exception but it doesn't give me the option anymore.

    Ever since I got the last two updates for Firefox I can't access most .mil sites like ako or even the us army library Europe site. These sites use to come up as untrusted sites that I just accepted and continued life. However now it goes straight to server not found page. I know the site links and bookmarks are good because they are what I used to use. I've read some of the other help situations that are similar and I can see some of the old certificates in the advanced options up nothing I've done in there had changed anything.

    To try to distinguish between a change in Firefox and a problem in your settings, could you do a three-minute experiment?
    '''Create a new Firefox profile'''
    A new profile will have your system-installed plugins (e.g., Flash) and extensions (e.g., security suite toolbars), but no themes, other extensions, or other customizations. It also should have completely fresh settings databases and a fresh cache folder.
    Exit Firefox and start up in the Profile Manager using Start > search box (or Run):
    firefox.exe -P
    ''Be careful not to delete anything in this dialog.''
    Any time you want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog.
    Click the Create Profile button, assign a name like Sept9, and skip the option to change the folder location. Then start Firefox in the new profile you created.
    Do the sites work any differently?
    When returning to the Profile Manager, you might be tempted to use the Delete Profile button. But... it's a bit too easy to accidentally delete your "real" profile, so I recommend resisting the temptation. If you do want to clean up later, I suggest making a backup of all your profiles first in case something were to go wrong.

  • Folders in Icon view with overlapping icons (vertically)

    I have folders with icon view and the icons move too close together vertically, but not horizontally. This is new behavior. I am using 10.6.7 and have already tried trashing finder prefs. It doesn't seem to be related to the slider for icon size. or even the view preferences for grid spacing. Somehow the spacing from left to right is fine, but up and down is too close. I don't want to sort them by name because I documents that are in groups of 3; an original Quark XPress document, and then two versions of it saved in PDF format; one with answers and one without (these are tests and quizzes for math classes.) I am still using an old version of Quark XPress (6.5.2) because newer versions can no longer use the PICT file format, which my equation program uses. Version 6.5.2 has become increasingly unstable as system software evolves, so converting into PDF format has allowed me to keep my old files in a usable form. I really like having these files in a folder with "icon" view so I can find what I need quickly.

    I have the views set to "Arrange by" "None". This used to allow me to place the icons wherever I liked and they would stay put; I've done this for years. Recently the spacing became a problem only in the "up and down" aspect, not the "side to side" spacing. When I choose any of the other choices, I can't get the various files to appear the way I really prefer.
    For what is is worth; once I discover a folder where they spacing has gone crazy; I can select all icons below the top row and lower them a bit, then all of the icons below my new "top row" and lower them, and so on, and the folder will look fine for a few days, Then,it will suddenly exhibit this strange compacting of only the vertical spacing.

  • An event in one of my libraries no longer has the event icon next to it's name just the name only. I can't view the clips in the event or import new clips. I've tried deleting the event and nothing.

    an event in one of my libraries no longer has the event icon next to it's name in the browser just the name only. I can't view the clips in the event or import new clips. I've tried deleting the event and nothing. After control clicking the event it shows all the media that has been previously imported. But it does not allow anything to be done to the event including deleting. This showed up at the beginning of a normal import session. This is fortunately the back-up evant.

    Did you perhaps mess with the contents of the library in the Finder?
    You may try the solution suggested in this thread:

  • How can i view mail mailbox folders on my iphone

    I have created folders or mailboxes on my iMac.  When I move mail to one of these folders I would still like to be able to access it from my iphone but can't seem to do that.  From my iphone, I can only view mail in "inbox", "sent", etc. but not folders/mailboxes I created to help me organize my mail.
    Thanks,
    bj

    Thanks for looking.  My mail account is a Gmail Google IMAP account.  It is the only account I have and is working well with Apple Mail.  But I created some folders/mailboxes in Apple Mail to organize my mail with, and on the iMac this all works fine.  But when I check my Mail on my iPhone, I can not check the emails that I moved to the various folders I created on the iMac.   ???  I'm starting to think there is something simple I'm missing here but not sure.  Thanks

  • Is normal when i connect to wifi i can't view the bb icon whoever that i can browser the internet normally

    is normal when i connect to wifi i can't view the bb icon whoever that i can browser the internet normally, i have bb curve 9360

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!!
    It might be normal...I've heard (while rare) of some carriers preventing their BB users from using BB-proprietary services via WiFi. But, with a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not WiFi), I do suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
    1) Register HRT
    KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
    Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
    2) Resend Service Books
    KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
    Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
    3) Batt Pull Reboot
    With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your mobile service provider for formal support.
    Good luck!

  • Using home sharing, can I view (stream) TS folders?

    Using home sharing, can I view (stream) TS folders as I would with DVD Player? Must they be be converted to smaller H264 first (don't want to...too many, takes too long)?  Does it place more demand to stream TS folders on the WiFi that iTV is hooked up to, as opposed to the smaller file size h264?  Can it be done at all?
    It is the deciding point for me in purchasing iTV.
    Thanks!

    No, all content needs to be in Mpeg4 format and in your iTunes library.

    You can use photostream instead to snyc your pictures across your devices, but not to the internet.

  • Can't view the loop icon viewer

    I can'ty understand why I can't view the loop icon below the viewer
    Here it is in the manual
    And here it is my viewer
    What I miss?

    The 10.0.6 update changed a lot of things – including the Viewer controls.
    Either use View>Playback>Loop Playback or Command-L. Or for selected ranges, the backslash key.
    AFAIK, the only loop playback button currently available is when the Ken Burns effect is used.
    Here's is the 10.0.6 Viewer:
    Here was the 10.0.3 Viewer:
    Good luck.

  • Can't view photos and movies emailed to me on new 16GB iPhone

    I'm sure this has been asked here already, but couldn't find it. When someone emails me a photo or a movie I can't view it on the iPhone. All I see is an icon with mime-attachment under it. I'm able to view the photos and videos on my iMac and Powerbook though. The 2 most recent videos were .wmv so I'm guessing I can't view those as it is right now on the iPhone, but I have no idea why I can't view the pictures. Thanks

    whoever is emailing you the photos is sending them as a .zip file not a .jpg most likely because there is more than one photo. unfortunately iPhone does not have a .zip file reader so whoever is emailing the photos has to make sure they are not zip ing them and resend them as .jpg files. (usually gmail tries to convert several images into .zip files)

  • Can't view pictures after update to 08

    I recently updated to Ilife 08. After the holidays I downloaded pictures from my digital canon rebel camera as usual. I can see the new pictures as smaller thumbnails but if I increase the size of the thumbnail, they disappear and I get a gray dashed box. If I click the image (when I can see it) I get a black screen with a big gray exclamation point.
    All of my photos prior to the update are fine and I can view and edit them as usual. It is just since the update. I worked with an apple tech and saw that the photos were actually there and tried to import them from a copy of my photo library. But I still can't view them all. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder in the Finder.
    Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
    If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    If that fails the you may have a damaged database:
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums back.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
    Regards
    TD

  • How can I view the original unedited image in Lightroom 4.3

    I just completed working on about 30 images that started out as horrable lighting and color. 
    Most of thhem are Nikon RAW images
    I would like to compare my finished edited images with the ones I started working with.
    How can I accomplish that?
    Thanks

    In Addition to what JimHess said. You can click on the <Before / After> icon in the develop Module, lower left (just below the image). Clicking it repeatedly cycles through different <Before / After> views where Before and After are shown as two images for a direct comparison.
    See screen shot:
