Folder options - how do i ... ?

When I open a folder I can sort it only three ways: by name, date modified and size. I'd like to be able to sort it by file extension, original file date and any other optional sort that is available.
Is it possible to turn those additional sort features on and if so, can it be done globally?
John

Choose Show View Options from the Finder's View menu, open a window, click on the radio button to have the settings for all windows changed, and check the boxes which control the displayed columns. Each displayed column can be used to sort the window's contents.

  • Since Apple is no longer providing MobileMe, and since my version of iWeb only has the option of publishing to mobile me (the "upgrade" eleviated the "publish to folder" option), how do I publish my web page to a remote host?

    I used to have an amazing home page that I used with my students:
    http://hansen.osd.wednet.edu/media/hansen/msamson/MrSamsonHome/Home.html
    The school district "UPGRADED" to the new operating system.  iWeb, which I have been using for years, no longer supports my ability to publish to the district server.  Apple thought it wise to force us to use MobileMe.  Furthermore, Apple decided that MoblieMe is no longer unavailable.  To add insult to injury, the new version of iWeb doesn't even have a "save to folder" option any more.  In other words, I can no longer use iWeb.
    Am I totally screwed?
    Is there another way to publish my site?
    Will Apple make me purchase yet another "upgrade"?
    Is this a total rip off?
    Mr. Samson
    ps.  As a loyal Apple customer (since 1982), I find these antics very frustrating.

    I suggest you upgrade to the latest iWeb version while copies are still availalbe: iLife '11 - Apple Store (U.S.).  That's because it's now confirmed that iWeb and iDVD have been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. HOWEVER, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken.  If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    In addition the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on.
    HOWEVER, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still currently available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those copies still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD.

  • How do I create an association in Folder Options?

    How do I create an association in Folder Options?
    I tried to start using the free version of Photoshop to organize pictures and (hopefully) set up the screen saver to view a group of pictures instead of them being randomly selected as Windows XP does it.
    However on right clicking on a picture, and then on "Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3 up comes this message: "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel".
    If someone would kindly advise me just exactly how to do this, I'd be most obliged.
    Many thanks,
    Stuartp77.

    It seems your Folder Associations got broken somehow. To restore them, you would need to do the following:
    1) Open Windows Explorer
    2) Select Folder Options from the Tools Menu
    3) In the Folder options Window, select the File Types tab
    4) In the Registered File Types list, you will see a list of all types of file name extensions.
    5) Select the extension of the file that you were trying to open
    6) Click the Open button and select Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition (Viewer) option.
    7) Click OK and it should work now.
    Let me know how it goes.

  • I am no longer able to sync multiple photo albums/folders on my iphone. I use to be able to sync many folders and now itunes only gives the option of 1 folder. How do I get back to the multiple folder option?

    first time to the discussion forum. Like I stated in the title, I use to be able to have all my photo albums sync to my iphone. I did something and now it only allows me to "sync photos from..." and it only allows me to chose from 1 of my folders and not pick multiple folders from my photo library. does anyone know how to get back to the multiple folder option? I'm sure its simple since I changed this so easily when trying to add a single folder to my library.

    Firefox now always stores the old session, and you can access it by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session"
    If you want Firefox to display the message to save the session, it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
    # Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''
    If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
    # Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
    # Go to the General panel
    # Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

  • How to set a folder option for individual folders

    This was not an issur for previous Mac OS, but for Marvericks I seem not to be able to save a folder option for individual folders.  So, when I change a view option, say, to "View as Icon" for a folder and close it, all other folders also show in the View-as-Icon mode. Is this a bug?  Or, am I missing anything?  I would want to open a particualr folder in a particular view option.  How can I do such?

  • UCM - WEBDAV - How to Disable the New Folder option in the action popup

    I am trying to implement WebDav functionality. I don't want the users to create folders in the folder mapped to a security group. As long as the user has privilege to contribute to the security group he/she can checkin documents but they should not be able to create folder under it. I did not find documentation as to how to disable the new folder option in the context action menu that pops up on mouse right click. Is there any way we can do that?
    Thanx.

    This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to networks in general. It is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe:
    If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files.
    Working across a network in general is not supported by Adobe.
    See: 
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
      Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
        Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work.  It should.
        Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
      If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.

  • Simple question:  I want to use iCloud as a back up disk for my documents folder.  How can I do this?  If I cannot do this, why am I paying for access to "the cloud?"

    Simple question:  I want to use iCloud as a back up disk for my documents folder.  How can I do this?  If I cannot do this, why am I paying for access to "the cloud?"

    iCloud does not provide general file storage or backup, so you cannot back up your Documents folder using it. You will need to find a third-party alternative - this page examines some options (some are free):

    iCloud at basic level, with 5GB is storage, is free: you only pay anything if you want to increase the storage space.

  • HT3819 Bought new iMac & moved (or thought so) music from old PC to new Mac. Now several hundred songs are orphaned on old PC; , I can "see" them with both machines turned on & iTunes open. "Missing" songs show in iMac Shared folder. How do I move & retir

    Bought new iMac & moved (or thought I had) all of my music from the old PC to the new iMac. Have discovered several hundred songs are orphaned on old PC; I can "see" them with both machines turned on & iTunes open. "Missing" songs show in iMac itunes Shared folder. How do I move them all so I can then & retire the old PC?

    From things you are saying, such as "shared folder" and having both machines on, it doesn't sound to me like you truly moved the whole iTunes collection.

    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
    If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownneship from an account with administror privileges.

  • Where is my New Folder option?

    I bought and dowloaded Lion, but I noticed that I can no longer select New Folder in the Finder File Menu.  The only option I can select is New Smart Folder.  Does anyone know why this change occurred and how I can create a New Folder that is not a Smart Folder?
    Thanks,
    Kelly Grace

    Thanks ckuan. 
    I found my 'operator error'.  I hadn't noticed that when I opened Finder it automatically opens at the top of the list which now is headed by All My Files instead of Desktop.  As soon as I selected Desktop the New Folder option became available.
    I'm not sure, but I think the change in my Favorites List is a result of Lion as I don't recall seeing All My Files or Air Drop in the list previously.
    Thanks for the shortcut.
