Finder still retains "only in column view" setting from Tiger...

I know they removed this preference completely in Leopard, but every time I open a new Finder window, it is always in column view. That's because I had used that option in Tiger (Always open in column view". Now since that preference is removed it's basically stuck always opening it in column view no matter what I do to change it. Any suggestions?

thank god i'm not alone.
Leopard is loaded with bugs, a very big disappointment.
i noticed the same problems you're experiencing.
in addition, the 'Secure Empty Trash' feature hangs the system when deleting large files, causing a forced shutdown.
after restarting, the 'Secure Empty Trash' feature will sometimes complete the deletion process without hanging.
there's plenty more to talk about, and i hope apple gets on top of these issues asap

Finder - changing sort order in column view

Anyone know a way to change the sort order when using the COLUMN view in Finder? It's defaulting to alpha and I'd like to change it so when I'm viewing a particular folder the contents are displayed by Date Modified like I can when using the other views.
THANKS!

Hi VFRJOEY,
there is no way to change the sort order in column-view. This was under discussion since the very first release of MacOS X but never made it into any one of the releases.
If this answered your question please consider granting some stars: Why reward points?

Is this still the only way to view Xvid and DivX movies on ATV?

By removing the drive and ssh'ing into it to add the codec support. Has anyone come up with a simpler solution that is less techie and complicated?
Thanks

Correct. I ended up opting the other route to convert the divx movies to h.264 compressed MP4's which work natively...took about two weeks of processing time across three systems to convert the library but works without any issues now.

Can I change my apple ID and still retain the data on my iPhone from my old apple ID?

My wife and I have been sharing an apple ID for several years. As Apple now permits file sharing among family members (for songs/games/etc), we'd like her to have her own separate apple ID. Will this require her to clear off her entire iPhone and all data, or how would this work?

No, she can create her own Apple ID and then use that for whatever she wants. However, any content downloaded to the device that was associated with the previous Apple ID will remain on the device, but when updates or authorizations in the future are needed, you will need to use that Apple ID's password to do so.

Finder Column View Broken when using NAME

Hi fellow Apple nerds,
I have found a rather frustrating problem in OSX 10.8 Finder.
When I use column view in finder I want to have my columns orgainised so I can see the whole name of the files and folders in each column.
Now this is the problem, when I "arrange" by "kind" the column contents is split into its various kinds of files. THe problem is if I double click on the column to rezice it, it will only resize to the contents in the first type of files.
Read it carefully, its a little hard to explain but you can try it for yourself. You cannot get the column to show the whole file names of the other types of files until you return to the "name" arrange view.
I find this very frustrating as I like to have my file sorted into the types and also display the full file names.

I just discovered it only happens with files
on Windows network shares, so I guess it must be
something to do with that.
Ah, that makes sense. Finder is reading the metadata entries, no problem on the Mac, but they might not even exist on the Windows server. And even they are part of the file, as may be the case with, for instance, EXIF data from the camera and/or Photoshop, the pieces of the Spotlight process that Finder uses isn't reading them on the network share. Spotlight doesn't work well over a network.
Since I don't use networking, I suggest you try posting your request in the Network forum:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=733
Someone there might have a work-around or other suggestion.

Finder crashes in multi-column view when clicking file

Hello All,
This problem occurred recently after my powerbook refused to wake from sleep mode:
If Finder is open in multiple-column view and I select a file, Finder then disappears. I believe it has something to do w/ showing the file preview or in getting the file information. This happens w/ every file; I can still traverse directories or start programs/open files when I run Finder in icon view or single-column view.
I tried: rm -fr /Users/jacobc/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Finder.plist which had no effect.
*From Console.app:*

The parser will retry as in 10.2, but the problem should be corrected in the plist.

Making finder open in column view?

I really like the OS X Finder's "Column View". Unfortunately, Finder windows always seem to open in icon view, even though I've checked the "Open New Windows in Column View" option in Finder preferences. Any idea why this option might not be working (on a brand-new installation with the latest software update installed)?

Hi, Mike, this below is from the Helpviewer: Click screen bring up finder go to Help on Menu Bar , Helpviewer> Click Index "Mac Help Index" click 'f" all about Finder.
"To always use column view when you open a Finder window, choose Finder > Preferences and click General. Select "Open new windows in column view."
If you choose icon or list view, the Finder saves your view settings. The next time you open the window you will see the same view settings you chose previously.
You can also customize the items that appear in the toolbar of Finder windows, or you can change the overall look of windows."
Hope this helps.

Always open in "column view"

I would like the finder to always open in column view, but whenever I make a search using spotlight, it opens in icon view and column view is greyed out in the
finder>view menu

I believe column view is not an available feature in Search function; possibly because it already shows you the individual files (rather than folders with their contents opening in another column). I prefer column view myself, but have never been able to set it in the search function.

File History Bug - Retains Only Last Version of Each File

I've just discovered what I believe to be a serious bug in File History on Windows 8.1. Here's what's happening:
My files are backed up using File History on a 1TB external USB hard drive with 17.5GB free. Currently 9GB of selected documents, etc., is being backed up and the aforementioned free space is what is available after 9GB has been backed up. My
File History settings are pretty normal / default. It backs up every hour. However, I've set it to keep saved versions 'until space is needed'. I noticed recently that, despite having plenty of free space, File History has only been retaining
the last copy of each of my backed up files. It didn't communicate this to me, e.g., via an error. I just happened to look to see how many versions were being retained.
I've played around with it a bit to investigate. First I blew away my FileHistory folder on the external drive and also the FileHistory folder from my user profile cache then set File History up again from scratch. I then ran a completely fresh
backup and changed some files and ran File History again. This did not fix the bug. File History was still retaining only the last file version and not notifying me of why or of any problem. I checked the FileHistory-Core and FileHistory-Engine
logs and, of course, no relevant errors were logged (typical for Windows event logs by the way).
I then tried changing the retention setting from 'until space is needed' to '1 year' and tested again by changing files and running File History. It appears to be retaining earlier versions and working now.
This definitely looks like a bug to me. Have Microsoft confirmed this and are they working on a fix ?
It makes me wonder if File History keeps a large free space threshold when you specify 'until space is needed', e.g., 10GB or 1% of drive size. When free space drops below this value, only one backup copy (the last one) is retained for each file. Is
this the case ? Why doesn't it communicate this to the user ?

O/S: Windows 8.1 Pro x64 (upgraded in-place from 8.0)
HDD: Western Digital MyBook 1TB (no 3rd party software installed for this).

Hi,
Windows use this following API to determine if previous retention should be deleted:
FH_RETENTION_TYPES which specifies under what conditions previous versions of files and folders can be deleted from a backup target
The operating system deletes previous versions from a backup target only when the target is full.
According to your description, your external drive should be less than 10% free space, this is a low disk space warning in system.
Above, this is just my hypothesis, I did some test in my environment, when the disk free space is more than 10%, I can see multiple versions of file history, but when it is less than 10%, it would just keep the latest modification version.

Thanks for clarifying this Alex. I still consider this a bug / design flaw in Windows as it is pruning backups long before the drive is actually full. If there is, as you say, a large 10% low space threshold, the system should communicate to the
user that it is pruning all but one copy of backup files. Could this be logged as a bug please ?

Sort files in Finder column view for the current folder only?

Hi,
I don't really understand how finder sort settings work, even after using OS X since it first came out. Maybe someone can give me a hand.
I'm trying to sort files inside one specific folder according to their name decending. In general I have arranged them by label and sorted by file name ascending. Every time I try to use the settings in the "display options" (cmd+J), this applies also to several other folders. Even if I right-click on that particular folder to enter the settings.
Isn't it possible to apply different sort/arrange options to individual folders?
p.

For column view, there is only one arrange/sort, no matter where you are in the hierarchy. It is based on what the arrange/sort was set on the original folder opened.
In the View Options, the Brows by ??? view checkbox controls what happens when you open a folder from that view. If it is set, then the folder opens in the same view as the enclosing folder. If unchecked, and you have set a view on a folder, that folder will open in the desired view.
Again, this does not apply in column view. Column view has only one arrange/sort for the entire hierarchy.

Is there any way to set default column widths in the Finder's Column view

When my Finder windows open in column view, all the columns are always VERY wide. I have to then spend time resizing them to a managable width. Is there any way to set default column widths in the Finder's Column view?
<Re-Titled By Host>

No, because you can't set a columns view default.

How do I set the finder column view to always display the "thin" column edges?

Sometimes finder switches to display thick column edges. These screen shots were taken 5 min apart, after a restart. I would love to know to to make sure it always displays the thin version.
Side note: does anyone know how to open new columns that automatically resize to fit the largest file name.....? Having to constantly resize columns is really irritating.

it can not display what has not been downloaded, for them to be the same I assume you have chosen to leave messages on the server.
Date: is set by the sender and has nothing to do with a delivery date in Thunderbird. If Thunderbird is displaying the date the message arrived in Thunderbird, what is in the date: header?
Received: is a series of transmission points and following the instructions below will display the latest.
* Select Tools/Options from the main menu.
* Click Config Editor.
* If a warning displays, click “I’ll be careful, I promise!”.
* Locate the mailnews.customDBHeaders preference, e.g. by typing “dbh” in the Filter field. Double click it, or select and press Enter.
* If the preference was not set previously, type “Received” and click OK. If some extension has already populated the preference, add “ Received” to the end of the list of headers, separating it with space.
* Close the Config Editor and restart Thunderbird.

FINDER NOT SHOWING DIMENSIONS WIDTH OR HEIGHT....IN COLUMN VIEW OR ICONVIEW

I have noticed for the last couple of weeks that my finder no longer shows the width and Height of images or anything. Dimensions has -- on all things. I have never encountered this issue before.
I hit "show item info" It looks like it moves when I check the box in thumbnail mode, but there is nothing there.
I have google'd around and have yet to find a solution.
Would be much appreciated if someone could point me in the right direction.

These files are EPS files not image files. They have a TIF or PICT preview inside the file, I believe in the resource or data fork of the file. The file extension is EPS, and I cannot change that, just type the letters. The actual extension, the 4 digit one, that is invisible is the one that is important. In the case of EPS the actual extension is EPSF or EPSI.
Just to try the fix I changed the name and it did try to make a preview, but it came up with nothing. It was blank in column view. The OS still reads it as an EPS regardless of the change in file extension.
Anyone have some answer that involves a command line, I think that is really going to be the only thing that solves this one.

Finder does not show EPS PICT or TIF previews in column view in 10.4

It seems in the upgrade between 10.3 and 10.4 they dropped the ability to see the low res PICT or TIF image that is stored in the EPS file. In other apps, InDesign, Quark I can see it in column view open dialogue box but no such luck with Finder windows.
I have seen the question on a few other forums but there has been no satisfactory answer to this question. I can't just use AI files and make them PDF compatible either, which is what I have been hearing as a common workaround. As of now I have been using EPSwizard:
http://www.jolauterbach.com
It used to be free but now it is a pay version. If anyone wants the older free app reply to me and I can give it to you. It is a decent solution until I can find someone who knows how to tweak the finder to see these again.
My best guess that Mac didn't want to show a low res image in their pretty OS so they deep 6'ed it in the 10.4 version. I am pretty sure that it is just not reading the resource/data fork where that image is contained. It would make my life so much more enjoyable if I didn't need to load an app everytime I want to see what an EPS file looks like inside.
If anyone can clue me in on a tutorial on how to change this let me know.

Finder: Changing from thumbnail view to column view takes me back to the root folder.

Hi,
I was hoping someone could help me with this as it's getting a bit tedious having to re-navigate back to the folder I was in. This problem is only occuring when I am working from an external NAS Drive.
I need to switch between thumbnail view and column view regularly, but whenever I change from thumnails to column - finder jumps back to the root folder, meaning I have to work my way back to where I was.
I can't figure out how to stop this happening! It doesn't happen when changing from column to thumbnails, only the other way round..
Thanks for any suggestions!
Sarah.

Hi Barney,
Thanks for your reply Unfortunately though I already use AFP on the NAS drive and still have the problem, so it seems this is an issue with both AFP and CIFS..

Finder still retains "only in column view" setting from Tiger...
