Desktop folders

Everytime I open one of my desktop folders, all the other folders and documents within the folder are all jumbled and I have to reorganize them again.
This is very irritating. What can I do to 'lock' or secure the movement of items within the folders? HELP!!!

Open the window. Press COMMAND-J to open the View dialog. Set up the view as you prefer it to be using the dropdown menus and other options. Check the box to Always open in your preferred view and click on the Default button at the bottom.

  • Why do all my desktop folders appear to be empty?

    why do all my desktop folders appear to be empty?..all of  a sudden....If I do an 'open,' I see a little red circle on the upper right hand corner with an arrow. When I click it, it tells me I have  number X files in the folder. But...I cannot see them....

    You have done something which change the permissions and your user is not able to access anymore. You can play around and try to correct permissions manually by going to your home folder, right click on the Desktop folder and choose get info and when new window will be open, at the bottom of it, check if your username is listed and if has Read & Write permissions.
    Other option is to boot to recovery mode (after starting up your computer press and hold CMD+R), then from top panel click on Utilities and choose Terminal. Once terminal is open, type in it resetpassword and when new window will be open, select Macintosh HD as your system drive, select your password and click on the RESET button which is next to "Reset home folder permissions and ACL". NOTE: do not reset your password, you don't have to.
    Second options would be better in case if permissions on other folders been changed too.

  • All Desktop Folders COPY items to and from, not move

    I just installed 10.6 on one of my computers, my tricked-out Mac Pro.... but now when I go to move anything in or out of any of the desktop folders, the files COPY to the desktop and do not MOVE to the desktop.
    I have looked for some setting and can't find it. This is just really weird... do I need to re-install?

    Hey CT, I'm have the same problem which is how I found you guys tonight talking about this. I used to be annoyed enough when XP or Vista took 45 mins to "move" 3 GB of data but I fell out out of my chair when 10.6 wanted to take 8 hours to copy 80GB from one folder up one level to the top directory. I was so baffeled and ******, I put a fan on the MacBook Pro and went to the gym when it "COPIED" one level up.
    I do have a contact at Apple and would love to get to the bottom of this because this is something I can't even bring up at a party with PC people at!!

  • Desktop folders will not move

    I accidentally hit a combination of keys and now all my desktop folders and files are aligned on the right side of the screen.
    If I try to move any of them they automatically bounce back.
    I've searched the preferences and the option bar without success.
    Can someone guide me back to where I can position them anywhere on the screen.
    Thank you.

    Control (right) click on your desktop and in the little popup box select Show View Options, next change the last box from Name to Snap to Grid
    and then re-arrange your Desktop Icons.

  • Desktop Folders now restrict minimum size

    Desktop folders.
    Apple, and the world's technical press, celebrate, as they should all the great NEW features in Lion, and every OS upgrade,
    for the all the new an innovative great features.
    It is left to a small minority of people who need computers to get a day's work done, and whose voice is seldom heard by Apple,
    to encounter the endless surprises in great features that are put in the trash by Apple for no good reason. Each OS upgrade
    takes away great features, an Lion does this as well.
    The topic at this email is desktop folders.
    You could, until now, drag the folder border to encompass a single file name, whic I sometimes really like to do. NOW there is
    an arbitrary and pointless SIZE LIMITATION to how small you can make an open folder on your desktop. The minimum size
    is rather large, about the space for 10 files in list view.
    Why Apple engineers so gleefully and unapologetically trash great features while celebrating what they call new features
    is incomprehensible to me.
    Folder views in Lion are the sloppiest and most unpredicatble so far.
    For all of its celebrated innovation, Apple engineers also have a really long shadow of destruction and removal
    that is not encouraging, that is in many ways rather offensive, as it flys in the face of common sense
    and is a rotten spot in the endless posturing Apple makes about respect for their customers, in particular
    the long-standing base of users that have stayed with Apple when it was almost down the tubes. I have been
    an Apple user since OS 5 at least.

    Widen the grid spacing; however, if the name is still too long, it will display like that.
    Use List or Column view, or hover over the name and it will popup the full name.

  • Why does double clicking not open desktop folders?

    After installing OpenOffice, my Mac Mini suddenly lost the ability to open desktop folders by double clicking.
    Open Office does not have a de-installer that I can locate.
    Please advise.
    Thank you!

    You may have to log out and back into your account, or restart the computer, for the system to work correctly after a software installation; at times one could also try other things in what may be an exercise in futility just in case something comes from any frustration and accidentally helps resolve any issue that may be in hiding...
    The 'safe boot' and 'repair disk permissions' and other antics sometimes will work to scare the gremlins out of a testy Mac. Or, perhaps it really is as simple as the man says. Adjust the mouse/trackpad in system preference? Could be the settings changed and it may be trying to interpret your clicks too fast.
    I'd not tried 'open office' but some time ago did try the NeoOffice version and it was OK. Then again, so was old AppleWorks back in the day; unless you require some kind of need to parrot MS Office regularly.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • All desktop folders disappeared

    One day after I started up my ibook, I noticed all my desktop folders and info were gone. No where to be found. Luckily there wasn't a lot of important info there.
    Everything on the hard drive is still there, all my apps, etc.
    Is there anything I can do to retrieve the folders without paying someone to try to retrieve the info? The trash is empty so nothing is there.
    When I search for something that was on the desktop, the search results say
    "The alias could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found."
    Then the options are: Delete Alias, Fix Alias, OK.
    Any suggestions? Any options that don't involve painstaking code etc.?

    Hi cornelius,
    This is so odd, I just posted almost the identical reply at about the same time you did but mine is not showing up in thread for me. It does show in my posts but by no method going back to the thread is it showing for me....very strange.
    Looks like Discussions is having another prolonged delay to posting again for some reason.....I'll hop over to Feedback About Discussions to see if others are seeing this...of course by the time you see this my post will most likely be showing up....
    hope all is well with you,
    littleshoulders
    edit: Yep, there they are....strange that the posts are taking so long to post to the thread...

  • Desktop folders shift off screen and are not visible

    Every so often, my dock and all desktop folders shift to the right.  Some of the folders are now off the screen.  How do I move them back to the visible portion of the screen?  Thanks.

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select 
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Relaunch the Finder and test. If there's no change, put the item you moved back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, delete the item you moved.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Time Machine did not back up desktop folders?

    Hello, I've been backing up my mid-2010 iMac 21.5" for over a year and a half every 24 hours to my external hard drive via Time Machine.
    Recently, I just got back from a very lengthy and important trip where I was commissioned to take photos and videos. I made sure to do another time machine backup every day for a week until I needed to send the photos and videos in. I keep all of my photos and videos in separate folders on my desktop.
    In that week time period, I sold my iMac in order to buy a Macbook Pro (needed the portability). No problem, just boot the Macbook while holding CMND+R to enter rocovery, and restore from my time machine backup on my external drive.
    After booting up my Macbook, I noticed there were no folders or files on my desktop that I had originally on my iMac. Actually, there was virtually nothing the same that I had from my previous machine. There are now missing documents, applications, and many other VERY important files that I need to have.
    My question is, where are these files? These backups took ages to perform, but what exactly was it even backing up? I desperately need these photos and videos for my job's sake. And they are nowhere to be found. I've tried entering Time Capsule and dating back weeks and months prior, none of which have any traces of files or folders being on my desktop. If anybody could help me out, or fill me in on a missing step perhaps, it would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    I'm going to come accross sounding like a bitter old man . . .
    Mac user since 1990.  At the time, the whole cornerstone of the OS was "People don't want to learn how to use a computer.  They just want to do their work."  I bought it.  Every piece of software (and operating system) I used was intuitive.  You'd say "how do I . . ."  and within moments, you could figure it out.  No manual.  No help.
    To my dismay I've discovered (just bought 2 new Mac Minis for my business) that this is a thing of the past.
    Case in point is Time Machine.  I've just discovered, as did RoganLigby, that folders on the desktop are NOT backed up.  Fortunately I discovered this (quite by accident) before a drive failure occurred.
    My question:  Why?
    Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why?
    What possible purpose is there to not backup items on the desktop?  Perhaps more importantly, wouldn't it be a good idea to tell users that this is the case?  Near as I can tell, there is no option to specifically add desktop folders to the backup.
    Does anyone at Apple actually use their own creations?

  • Firewire Drives creating desktop folders

    Hi,
    I have 2 external firewire drives (one Lacie 160GB and one Maxtor 300GB). Both are partitioned in 2. The 4 volume creates an empty desktop folder. I throw them on the trash but they always come back. Well its not a serious problem but it bothers me a lot. Anyone ? thx

    Some more information: Well, inside the apparent empty desktop folders there are two invisible files: ".localized" and an empty folder "VISE temp folder".

  • All desktop folders, finder & the dock have disapeared, what can I do?

    I was downloading a widget (acorn) & all my folders disappeared, then spaces, then the dock after about 5 minutes. After a restart firefox was there but nothing else. The desktop folders are there when browse in gmail, but it freezes & quits when try to open them. I see that other people have had similar problems, but cannot find many answers.. Will I need to get another Leopard install disc, as no longer have it?? Mac ownership seems very lonely at times!

    could be failing hard drive or corrupted files, in any case as the first step
    you'd have to try to start up from another source - external hard drive with the compatible OS on it or from the OS install CD/DVD

  • Simple Question - desktop folders

    I have a simple questions about moving Desktop Folders - when I move the folder into the HD, to exactly where I want it among my many folders, there is a copy that stays on the desktop. I then start saving things to one or the other, and they do not update together. The result is two half-full folders, one of which refuses to leave the desktop when I try to move it. Why does this happen, and how can I avoid this without just deleting one and possibly loosing info?

    where is you user account? is it a network user? or local? is the HD the same as the system disk?
