Finder sorts files as Kind not correct

Please help me. I recently purchased a new MBA 13" running ML. When put Finder to view files as Kind, it separates files as movies, documents and PDF files etc. But it seems to cannot differentiate between images files and other documents. It combines all images and other documents such as zip files and word documents as the same types while this does not happen before. I tried view setting to sort by None, then sort by Kind again it still combines images with other docs.
I tried restarting, relaunch Finder and reset spotlight index it doesn't help.
Please help me.
Thank you in advance.

You are not "sorting," you are "arranging."
An arrangement is a grouping. You can sort within arrangements, or you can sort without arranging.
The menu and button displays the arrangement options when you click it. To select sort options, hold down the option key and click same button/menu item.
You can see both at same time in the View Options dialog.
If you set arrangement to "None," you can set a Sort option without any grouping.
I'm on an iPad for the moment, so I can't check how it groups, but it may just group as "Documents," not as specific types of documents.
Try just sorting by setting the Arrangement to "None," then set the Sort to "Kind."

I uninstalled whole Adobe CS5 Master Collection (Trial) & tried to reproduce the bug in Photoshop CS4, but it was not happened, it's ok on CS4.
Finally, Windows 7 is not reason, it's a bug of Photoshop CS5. Please fix, I don't want to buy a bugged software.
I really need the feature "Optimize to File Size" in my works.
P.S: I tested on 4 PCs, and the results is the same.

Finding audio files on Classic not added through iTunes?

I'm using a different podcast aggregator and digital music storage program than iTunes. And so I downloaded a podcast episode on it, and tried to add it to my iPod Classic. How do I find that file on the iPod itself?
If I can't, is it time to switch to a newer version of the iPod, despite the coolness of 160gbs of space?

You can do this if you manually sync music to your Touch, but in my opinion it would not be a good idea. Are you really that short on space on your MacBook? If so look into getting an external drive.
If you don't care about losing these books and videos by all means put them on the Touch and delete them, just realize if you have to Restore the Touch you will lose all of them.

Trying to find a file that is not showing up on Computer!!!

I am trying to delete a file that i found on cleanmymac. I am trying to find the file on my computer, but it doesnt work!!! On CleanMyMac it even says the location of where the file is, But i cant find it!!!!

If the file is in your user Library, it's hidden by default in Mountain Lion. You can reach it on the Finder's menubar, Finder > Go > Hold the Option key down > Select Library.
Make sure you know what the file is before you delete it.

IPhoto library file kind not correct

Hi, my iPhoto library works fine when opening etc., but ive noticed that for some reason it is not showing the new palm tree picture as an icon - probably because the file kind is "package" rather than "iPhoto Library". Im sure it updated to the new iphoto 11 (ver 9) format when I first opened it in the upgrade, but even though it all works fine - it worries me that it doesnt seem to be fully converted. I checked the package contents and compared to another (correctly displaying) library and they look identical bar for the fact it is missing the PkgInfo file in the contents folder. Is this significant?
Can some one suggest how to correct the file kind so it displays correctly!?
Many Thanks,
Rich.

Try one more thing: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Check to see if the library's icon has returned.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
Check the icon again.

Uploading files Mime Type not correct for Office 2007 default extensions.

hi all,
My company has recently moved over to MS Office 2007 and the default extensions for word, excel etc are now .docx, xlsx etc (ie xml based).
Unfortunately now when we upload files through APEX to the database the MIME TYPE value for these files isn't being recognised and not loadeding correctly into the APEX_APPLICATION_FILES table and subsequently any future retrieval of these files fails.
I could put some logic inthe up load procedure to look at the filename in APEX_APPLICATION_FILES and hard code in the releavnt mime types but this still causes problems when retrieving the content.
Has anyone come across this and got a workround? Is it a bug in AE?
regards
James
FYI - using APEX 3.0.2 over 11G.

I have not any response to my question and not sure if it is in Apex I need to look or the tomcat server that I need to look. I have a useful application to try to show others what Apex can do for our customers to collaborate. However, most of our customers are using office 2007 so, hoping this is possible.
I am using apex 3.2.0.00.27 if that helps someone to point me where to find more info on being able to have Word 2007 or excel 2007 fire up to open a .docx or .xlss file stored in a table blob column. Word or Excel does fire up to open .doc and .xls files.
The following is the query for a report selecting the filenames uploaded into a blob column in my table:
{ SELECT s.ID, SUBSTR(s.NAME,INSTR(s.NAME, '/',1,1)+1,length(s.NAME)) SHORT_FNAME, s.SUBJECT
FROM spp_attachments s
WHERE s.PROGRAM_ID = :P2_PROGRAMID }
Below is the stored procedure called from the link on the short_fname column in report query above.
{ create or replace PROCEDURE download_file(p_file IN number) AS
v_mime VARCHAR2(48);
v_length NUMBER;
v_file_name VARCHAR2(2000);
Lob_loc BLOB;
BEGIN
APEX_APPLICATION.G_FLOW_ID :=245;
IF NOT (wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.is_session_valid) then
owa_util.status_line(404, 'Page Not Found',true);
return;
else
SELECT MIME_TYPE, BLOB_CONTENT, name,DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(blob_content)
INTO v_mime,lob_loc,v_file_name,v_length
FROM spp_attachments
WHERE id = p_file;
-- set up HTTP header
-- use an NVL around the mime type and
-- if it is a null set it to application/octect
-- application/octect may launch a download window from windows
owa_util.mime_header( nvl(v_mime,'application/octet'),
FALSE );
-- set the size so the browser knows how much to download
htp.p('Content-length: ' || v_length);
-- the filename will be used by the browser if the users does a save as
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="'||replace(REPLACE(substr(v_file_name,instr(v_file_name,'/')+1),chr(10),NULL),chr(13),NULL)|| '"');
-- close the headers
owa_util.http_header_close;
-- download the BLOB
wpg_docload.download_file( Lob_loc );
end if;
end download_file; }
Thank you,
Mark

Render files path is not correct...

My Scratch Disk for video/audio capture and video/audio render is set (System Settings) to a special scratch disk, but FCP is >not< using this scratch disk (available space 700 GB).
Instead of using my scratch disk FCP writes everything to my boot device: MacHD/Applications/Final Cut Pro/Contents/MacOS/...
I have the same problem with the waveform/thumbnail cache/autosave vault.
I've checked the system settings several times and everything is set like I want it, but FCP writes on the wrong disk!
Any idea what's wrong here???

You may find relief in trashing your FCP preference files. This will reset everything to the default location and should allow your changes to 'take hold'.
Good luck,

Find Missing files command does not allow me to navigate to backup drive

I have just bought a MacBook Pro and am moving my catalog an images from a PC. I have read/watched many videos on how to do this. I have copied all images out to a hard drive along with the Catalog file. I downloaded Lightbook 4 to Macbook and have opened my catalog file. All my tags and folder structure are shown with ?marks. When I highlight the My Picture folder and click "find missing photos", I don't get a Navigate window to choose hard drive folder of the same name. Instead, I see it start task, scan and complete task and all the photos now show in the Missing Photos section of the Catalog. I never get a Navigate window. It just keeps starting task and then saying complete. So the images are blank with ? marks on all files.
Help! I bought the Macbook Pro to do my photography and instead I've spend a day watching videos showing the Navigate window which I never get when I do "find missing photos". What's going wrong?

Find my iPad location is not correct?

I just used MobileMe to look for my new iPad and where it says it is, is not where it really is. It is setting right next to me on the desk while I type this. Yet, https/me.com/find says that it is 6 doors down on a different street! How can I fix this?

Is it possible that a stronger (although I don't see how) wifi signal is picking up my iPad? The reason I ask is the last time I did "Find my iPad" it showed up at an address different than before. This time it was "placed" at a house across the street.

Spellcheck finds misspelled words but will not correct them on right-click

Before I upgraded to FF4, if there was a misspelled word on a field, I could right-click the underlined word and suggestions would show up in my menu. However, since the upgrade when I right click the underlined word I get the standard right-click menu without any suggestions. The standard being "Back, Forward" etc.etc.

Finder Searches for Files That Do NOT Contain Certain Words

Is it possible to do a search in the Finder for files that do NOT contain a certain word?

As far as I know you can't do that. It would be lovely to pipe the results of one search into another....
What happens is if you specify a type folder, then exclude a file system name, the command excludes folders that have the word in their name.
You may want to take a look at this:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Carbon/Conceptual/SpotlightQuery/index. html
See the section on "Query Expression Syntax" and the one on "Spotlight Metadata Attributes Reference" (click link, then click the link in the Introduction to the section). Most the other stuff is of interest mainly to programmers, but those two sections are actually useful to regular folks.

Firefox can't find javascript files on localhost

I'm running firefox 21.0 on windows 8. I've installed Apache 2.4 (64 bit) as a web server on localhost.
I'm getting sporadic unexpected results testing my web pages. When I look at the source code (Ctrl-U) and click on the link to the javaScript files, for some of the files I get the firefox warning page (with exclamation mark in yellow triangle - not the 404 message) claiming that firefox cannot find the javaScript file. The files do exist and capitalization is correct.
The links are coded like this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="/cradur/JSLib/dataGrid.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The web page is xhtml1-strict.
IMPORTANT: THIS ERROR IS ONLY OCCURRING SPORADICALLY. The web page (and JS file) will work fine for a time, then suddenly firefox will no longer be able to find the file.
Please note also that the current set up is on a new laptop, which I've only been using for a week. I've previously run firefox/ajax on windows XP for years without encountering this problem.

Do you use a port number in your localhost URLs? If so, have you noticed any changes to (or omission of) those numbers as you test the application?
Although I don't think you can do a reload bypassing cache (Ctrl+Shift+r) in the source viewer, if you do that in a page that wasn't able to load the script, does that help?

Open PDF's in new window in document library when using "Find a file" search

I need to be able to open PDF's in a new window from a document library when using the "Find a file" search built into the document library "All documents" view. I currently have the following javascript on the page:
_spBodyOnLoadFunctionNames.push("setTargetBlank()");
function setTargetBlank()
{ $("a[href$='.pdf']").removeAttr('onclick').attr("target", "_blank");
This works great when going to the document library and navigating through the folders then clicking on a link.
The problem is when someone goes to the document library then uses the "Find a file" search and then they click on a link. The "Find a file" search does not do a postback (reload) of the page, therefore my javascript to find the PDF links
and make them open in a new window does not run for the links on the page.
I have read the following article but this does not seem to offer a solution that will work in this situation for SharePoint 2013 (Office 365): http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/7ad3224c-3165-47ae-95bc-4f3928e2f9a8/opening-document-library-pdf-in-a-new-window-sharepoint-2013?forum=sharepointgeneral
I suppose the idea solution would be to somehow tap into the event that is fired when using "Find a file" search to run my javascript and update the links for the search results.
Can anyone offer any solutions to this issue?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to open PDF files in a new window from a document library when using the "Find a file" search.
As you said, the "Find a file" search does not do a postback (reload) of the page, therefore JavaScript to find the PDF links and make them open in a new window does not run for the links on the page.
I recommend to use JS link to achieve the goal. Create a JavaScript override file and upload the JavaScript file to the Master Page Gallery, and then set the JS Link property of the document library web part to point to the JavaScript file.
Here are some links about the JS link in SharePoint 2013 for you to take a look:
