Download view in Finder.

Can anyone tell me the default view in Lions Finder for downloads? I have Lion pre-installed on my iMac and it changed a few of its view settings yesterday (bug maybe) I'm a bit OCD and the default views as of now suited me, so if anyone could tell me what the view for 'Downloads' is I would really appreciate it. All the rest apart from 'show all my files' seem to be icons, downloads shows as a list at the moment.

Hi,
Select downloads in the sidebar, now showing as list. Then go to the menu bar and click on 'View' select 'as icons'
You can arrange them also by clicking on the 'Arrange' button on the tool bar of the finder window.

Has anyone else been unable to click [open] a document folder while in the column view in finder?

Since I have downloaded Mavericks, I am unable to open any document folder in the column view in finder. When i go to any other view such as cover flow or list, they open. But when it is in the column view, I am unable to click any folder - or any document for that matter. Can anyone help or atleast tell me I'm not the only one?

okay i figured it out. for some reason i had to go to the settings menu and click arrange by name and it automaticaly fixed it. it was weird all of the names were gray, and the color tags were to the left of the folder titles. i hope this helps if any of you had that problem too.

I'm having problems opening various windows in Firefox. Eg. Downloads, View Source, History etc.

For quite some time I have been having some issues with Firefox 5.0.1.
I have been through all of the troubleshooting I can find but cannot fix the problem.
Most of the features that require a window to be opened in Firefox do not work. Eg. Downloads, View Source, History. I cannot see the windows.

I tried the localstore.rdf replacement from another machine running the same version of Firefox. Still didn't fix the issue.
I noticed on the machine that I was having the issue with there was a file present called localstore-safe.rdf, this file was not present on the machine where Firefox was functioning normally. I removed localstore-safe.rdf (made a copy of the profiles folder first) and it works.

I'm using ADE with a Mac and have successfully downloaded library books for a few years; suddenly today the books are downloading to the Finder but do not show up in ADE so that they can be put on my Nook.

Is anyone suddenly having trouble using Adobe Digital Editions on a Mac to download library books? I have been using this to load books on to my Nook and suddenly, out of nowhere, everything is downloading to the Finder app. ADE pops up like it always has when I download from the library website, but the book does not show up there.
Has something changed?

1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

How to add custom columns to the list view in Finder

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to view additional file details in the list view in Finder, for example audio bit rate, so I don't have to do "Get Info" for each file separately. I couldn't find a way to add columns other than the ones listed on the view options dialog.
Can anyone help me find a way to do it?
Thanks,
Tal

Have you checked the Help menu for what you want to do? I found this in Apple support - List View Options
Check the AppleScript Forums. There is probably a script that you can use.

Icon view in Finder windows do not autowrap

I am using 10.5.1 on a 17" MBP 2.16 ghz.
Since installing Leopard, Icon view in Finder windows do not autowrap and Finder windows do not always remember their display preferences.
The Trash auto-wraps (the icons spread to take up the entire window if it is enlarged) But Opening a Folder in my default list view and switching to Icon view and then enarging the window only shows icons in the original window width. EG, If it were 3 colums of icons, it stays 3 columns of icons unless I use Clean Up TWICE and then I get 10 columns of icons which will wrap.
Is this a Leopard BUG or a local problem. Any suggestions on fixing it?
TIA,
Bill

Yeh - though I use cmd-J which I have used since it appeared, 10.1?
But I just solved my problem. In my use as defaults selection, I had Snap to Grid selected in the arrange by pop-up rather than by Name.
Selecting Name and clicking on Use as Defaults makes things work as expected.
Thanks for making me look closely!
Cheers,
Bill

Strange view in Finder...

Hello everyone,
I do not know how it happen, but i've got this view in Finder.
And it was not possible to return it back by swiping the view by 2fingers swipe, and other options like changing the view didn't work until i closed the current finder window and opened new one.
Previous actions before it happened were: I was attaching the image file to my web-post.

I tried to find out how it occurs..
Actually it happens when drag and drop picture to some programs in the dock, i tried with Safari.

Thumbnail view in Finder

Is therea thumbnail/preview view in Finder. I found the column view which will preview a selected document. I'm looking for a view that will display thumbnail previews of all documents in a folder, just by viewing the folder.

If there are images such as Jpegs you can usually view them in Icon mode (right of the column view on the top nav bar). If you need them to be bigger go to the
Finder menu: --> View --> Show View options (apple + J) --> Icon Size.
Just remember that all of your icons will be enlarged. And you will have to do the reverse (also in the main finder window) to change them back.

Application Category view in Finder

I rather like the Application category view in Finder but it is not currently of much use because so many of my applications fall into the 'Other' category.
I assume this is an attribute of the file and can be found and changed somehow.
Does anyone know where this metadata is stored and how to change it?
Cheers,
Phill

Hi dB,
Thanks for this. Now just the final piece of the jigsaw to find out what reloads the Finder view to pick up the new category. If anyone can help that would be great. I have tried rebooting so it isn't that.
Cheers,

Not sure if that same Application is designed for Mac Os x, Search for Applications on App Store instead of iTunes on your Macbook Pro, as Applications available on iTunes Store on a Macbook is designed to work only on iOS Device like iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch and whatever is available on App Store on Mac is designed for Mac Os x.

Can not open download folder in Finder after update to OS X Lion

Hi there. I have recently upgraded to OS X Lion. The upgrade was smooth. But since the upgrade I am unable to open Download folder in Finder. If I select Download in Finder's sidebar nothing happens. Finder won't display content of Download folder. If I go and select Home folder in sidebar, Finder displays content of my Home folder including Download. If I double click Download folder to access it nothing happens again. Cant access it. But if expand download folder using triangle next to it, Finder will expand me Download folder and show it's content...
I tried to verify and repair my permissions with Disk Utility, but did not solve my issuel. It is very frustrating scenario, since Download folder is something I access every day multiple times.
Any ides what can I do?

I found a solution that worked for me. Seems like my firewall did not accept the afp connection permissions anymore after installing lion... Since everything worked well turning off the firewall.
So if you don't want to keep your firewall disactivated here is what worked for me:
- Leave your firewall activated.
- Turn OFF afp file sharing in the sistem prefs
- Restart your Machine
- Turn ON afp file sharing
- You should now get a message if you want to accept afp connections...
- click YES
Seems like this resets somehow the afp permissions in the firewall settings
Everything fine on my network now.

How can I set a customized view in finder set as standard for ALL folders?

As I have a large number of folders, I need a specific view in finder: symbol view, sort by program and name. I tried to use this settings as standard for ALL folders, but using the 'set as standard' button does only work for the folder I am in, but not for ALL folders. I even tried to use this settings on the hard disk level in finder, but what ever I tried, it never applies to all folders. The problem occurs on each of my devices and on Yosemite OS 10.10.1. as well as Mavericks 10.9.5. Any ideas on how I can make the 'standard' work on all folders?

As Vinod says, unique key validator would be fine.
However, In Gabriel's blog:
Performing a unique key validation for an attribute that is declared to be unique in the database requires a round trip to the database. This is quite expensive and there is a fast and easy way to work around it.Is false on several fronts:
1). it's not expensive - it's actually cheaper than the alternative
2). Unique key validator can require many trips to the DB to validate - it must check all other rows in the EO to ensure there is no duplicate, and all of those rows must be fetched into the middle tier to do the validation: this is expensive.
The "cheapest" way to do this: unique constraint in the DB
