Finder is a shame in these days

since mavericks,
finder dont show full music file tags...
rearrange his raws if move in a folder up and down and you look whats inside the folder...
dont remember his settings... for example, sorting settings...
every time i click on the finder in menu bar every time same size and centered...
in the searching area in finder maybe in deep strukture of your folder system you searching and clicking the x cross it goes automatically back to its startfolder...
i really p...ed off
and yes i made every tipps i could get these days...
apple constructors and programer freaks... make it possible so that the finder work fine.
cheers

If it's only happened the once then I wouldn't worry too much about it and just take it as one of those things. Otherwise, try keeping track of any potential triggers… like Acquisition.

Where can i find my windows product key ? am I not allowed to know this these days ?

If you bought a notebook with Windows 8, there are no product key stickers anymore.
The key is now digitally encoded in the BIOS.

I don't have a notebook that came with windows 8, so I don't know if you can see it in the BIOS or not but that would the place to look.

Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)
MB022Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (5-user family pack)

After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
The DVD should look like this
Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

My Macbook is extremely slow these days...Is There Anything I can Do?

Hi,
My Macbook is running extremely slow these days. Not sure if there is anything I can do. I would appreciate any input on this.

Thanks for your quick response...

Deleting Drop Frames these days?

In the old days you just held down Alt while dropping in your background image and one of the options was to replace drop frames (what IS the point of those anyway?) along with the background picture from the Theme (how I wish you could just start with a blank project! - sigh)
But now, (iDVD 7.1.2) that option is no longer there. I just get 'replace background' or 'make a slideshow.'
Surely there must stil be a way to delete these annoying boxes - or am I being even more of a dork than usual?
Many thanks
Tom

And while I'm here - where is the highlight colour box these days? I can find the text colour box, but I don't want text, just frames.

Is there a way to find the serial number in these files so that I can reinstall the full version?

I had to restore from backup to a new hard drive, and only have part of my Adobe Photoshop installation. Is there a way to find the serial number in these files so that I can reinstall the full version? I have only part of the documentation so this is the best way I see to get the full version back.

Hello brad,
you did purchase your product from these firms like Amazon, so you didn't get a serial number, only a code with which you can request a serial number from Adobe. Please have a look at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html. (Start here: How did you purchase your product?)
The following part, so I just see at least, ceased to exist on my Adobe website, everything takes place in the link from above. I leave it as an info yet, it might still fit for you. For this purpose, please click your way through to your Adobe Store and find the button "Get Serial Number". Fill in the form and after a while you will get the real serial number.
Additionally you should have a look at Adobe's database, to see what's stored/saved about your accounts. Here you will find general infos about your Adobe Account.
On the other hand, if necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and if "open" please use the chat, I for may part had the best experiences. I quote from Adobe's employee Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.

How Large is Too Large for a Movie These Days?

Hi, we're developing our portfolio site which will have a LOT
of images that must be very high quality. So to keep quality up I
know we have to sacrifice file size (or vice-versa).
We've divided each of the sections of images into separate
movies so there is usually less than 8 images per movie. That way
someone would only need to wait if they clicked to see a specific
movie.
- My question is: What is considered 'large' for a movie file
in these days of broadband?
We are not planning on having preloaders for the individual
movies, and would like them to come up pretty quickly (so no
sluggishness or blank screens). I'm also looking into how to have
the movies loading in the background so that there would be less or
no delay once they are called up.
As an example, one of our larger sized movie tests showed a
size of around 350k for med-high quality, and about 750k for really
good quality. We prefer to have the quality of the latter, but
don't want people to get frustrated waiting.
On our local med-fast broadband (3.0Mb/Sec DSL) the large
movie loads up pretty much instantly and looks great. But we don't
want to alienate anyone.
THANKS!

I think you simply have to judge your audience - are they
likely to have ultra fast broadband or ten year old dial up
connections ?
My rule of thumb is to work for the lowest connection likely.
In the UK most medium to large commercial organistaions (my
market) have at least a 4mb connection so I optimise everything for
that. (Always bearing in mind that it's shared by hundreds or
thousands of users at any given location).

How to find the latest transansction of a day?

Hi,
I want to find the latest transaction of a day. i wrote a query like below
Select
from(
Select item_code,document_date,cb_quantity from bin
           where trunc(document_date,'dd') = (select max(trunc(document_date,'dd'))
                                  from bin
                                  where item_code = 'xxx1'
                                   and document_date <'01-apr-2009')
          and item_code = 'xxx1'
order by document_date desc)
where rownum = 1Is there any alternative ideas?
kanish

Try this
select item_code, document_date, cd_quantity
from (
           select item_code, cd_quantity, document_date, max(document_date) over() max_document_date
            from bin
           where item_code = 'xxx1'
             and document_date < to_date('01-apr-2009','dd-mon-yyyy')
where document_date = max_document_date

Hi , I suhail khan from india and i am user of iMac system 10,1.These days i am facing the sound enabling issue with my iMac system I am not able to hear sound in my iMac system.So kindly suggest me how to enable sound in my iMac . Please no the needful.

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
1. If you've recently plugged anything into the audio-out (headphone) port, plug and unplug it a couple of times.
2. From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Sound ▹ Output
Check the settings. The internal speakers should be selected as the output device, the Mute box should not be checked, and the volume slider should be at least halfway to the right.
3. Look inside the headphone port. If a red light is coming from the port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a headphone mini-stereo jack of the proper size.Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
4. Boot in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime. It will take much longer than usual. You don't have to log in; just reboot as usual (without holding any keys) when the login screen appears. (Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.)
5. Reset the NVRAM.
6. Reset the SMC.
7. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data as a precaution. You won't need your backup unless something goes wrong.
8. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to bare metal from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.
*An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.

How do you find the difference in no. of days between 2 dates?

How do you find the difference in no. of days between 2 dates ?

There are 2 way to solve this: using java.util.GregorianCalendar or java.util.Date (like jesper1 suggested), depending what kind of solution You need:
        GregorianCalendar gc1 = new GregorianCalendar(2001, 01, 01, 23, 00, 00);
        GregorianCalendar gc2 = new GregorianCalendar(2001, 01, 03, 10, 00, 00);
        // 1st way using GregorianCalendar
        int diff1 = gc1.get(GregorianCalendar.DATE) - gc2.get(GregorianCalendar.DATE);
        System.out.println("Differnce: " + diff1);
        // 2nd way using Date
        int diff2 = (int)(gc1.getTime().getTime() - gc2.getTime().getTime()) / (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
        System.out.println("Differnce: " + diff2);Note: There are 2 days between the given dates, but exactly 1 day and 11 hours.
The first solution returns "-2", the second returns "-1".
(... and a 4th posting also won't help ...)

Is networking reliable these days?

Hi,
We have a old iMac and someone suggested using it as a server and networking our computers (another iMac and an eMac) using OS X Server. I know this will be great efficiency-wise but I'm a little concerned. Are we likely to suffer network crashes etc or are they much more stable these days?
I would be grateful for any feedback.
Many thanks!
PowerPC G3 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

One hardly needs to use OS X Server if all you want to do is share files. Here is some reading material that may be helpful:

If you want to be able to share files and share an internet connection from a cable or DSL modem:
Setting up a local Ethernet network
Equipment needed:
Cable/DSL modem: usually supplied by the ISP
Gateway/Router: at least a 4-port router, but you can get them with more ports if you need them. (Alternatively, you can get a switching hub to provide additional ports.)
CAT 5 Ethernet cables: one cable is needed for each device connected to the router plus one to connect the router to the cable/DSL modem.
1. Connect the Cable/DSL modem to the router's WAN port using an Ethernet cable (CAT 5 for 10/100.)
2. Connect each computer to the router's LAN ports using Ethernet cables. If you have network printers, etc. connect them to a LAN port on the router. If the router doesn't have enough ports, then you will need to purchase one with more ports or connect a switching hub to the router.
3. Now, for each Mac open its Network preference pane. Select the Built-in Ethernet port for configuration. In the TCP/IP configuration window set the connection/configuration to DHCP from the dropdown menu. Set your Location dropdown menu to Automatic and the Show dropdown menu to Built-in Ethernet.
4. Shut everything off. First, turn on the Cable/DSL modem and wait for the connect lights to indicate it has connected to the ISP. Next, turn on the router and wait to see if the Cable/DSL modem's communication status light starts to flicker. Also, if there is a status light on the router it should show a connection. Last, power up the computer. If all is well the TCP/IP control panel or Network pref pane should indicate an IP has been obtained from the router, usually in the 192.168.nnn.nnn range. If it's 169.xxx.xxx.xxx then you don't really have a connection.
5. If you have network printers connected each printer will have to be assigned its own unique IP address in the router's address range (usually 192.168.nnn.nnn.) Assign the printer(s) IP addresses above the number of computers that will be connected but within the router's DHCP address assignment range. Consult the router's documentation for that information. Consult the printer manual for how to assign an IP address to the printer. When you install the printer driver and/or Add the printer you will add it as an IP printer or LPR printer and use the IP address you assigned to the printer.

Finder is a shame in these days
