Folders and documents on desktop

when i was in 10.3.9 the items on my desk top were neatly lined up in two columns on the right of my desk top with the icons in the columns about 4 cms apart. moving to 10.4 has made them about 8 cms apart. how can i get them close together again? any help gratefully received

Your monitor is working exactly like it is supposed to in extended desktop. Nothing will be on it unless you drag something to it. Open Displays in *System Preferences*. With the external monitor hooked up a control screen for each display will show on the displays. Use Arrangement to drag the external to whichever side you want to have it on. I use mine on the left so my mouse enters the screen in the correct side. You can also use the external in mirrored mode where everything is the same on both monitors. The easy way to switch between mirror and extended is the F7 key.

Is there a way to have Finder list folders and documents in alphabetical order?

Finder keeps changing the order of folders and documents. Is there a way to have everythning remain in alphabetical order? The way it works now makes it difficult to find a specific folder or doc from a long list.

In the Finder click the list icon and then sort by name. Is this what you mean?

Want to list Folders and Documents in Browse of Link, Attachement, etc

Dear friends,
Configured KM with 5 Query Based Taxonomies .
My requirements is that, i want to create a Link to a Document from different taxonomies or in a same taxonomy.
Let me explain you clearly.
When i try to create a Link (Not external), it gives a new window asking target. Clicking on Browse button of Target popups a new window asking the source with Favorites, Personal Documents, Recently Used, Common Folders, Public Documents, More... and the list of Documents/Folders available on where i tried to create Link.
But clicking on folders listed i.e. Favorites, Personal Documents, Recently Used, Common Folders, Public Documents, More... gives only the Folders. No documents will be listed. I want both Folders and Documents should be listed, while doing this operation.
This feature is required in Email Attachment, Moving Document, Copying Document, ... many other places.
Please any body help me
Thankx in Advance.
Regards
Lakshmikanthaiah

Hi Lakshmikantha,
As far as what ive understood from your problem, Ive tried to create a link to a document and it worked.
Would send you a document showing the same tomorrow.

Move a folder, sub-folders, and documents under that folder from one document library to another within a Workflow

Hello,
I'm building a workflow in SharePoint Designer 2010 (Unfortunately we are not on 13 yet), and in that workflow I need to move a folder (with all it's sub-folders and items) from one document library to another document library.
I tried a copy item but that kept failing, I checked content type, columns, and permission and it all looks good.
the other option I started looking into is to Create the folder in the document list and them move all the items under that folder to the new folder. However I can't figure out how to loop through each items in that folder.
Has this issue been addressed? or does someone has a solution.
I looked and searched and all I found was tutorials on moving single items into a folder, but not entire folders.
Thanks
Hani

Why to take pain in creating a workflow that copies folders, sub-folders and all of its contents from one document library to another.
Simply open your source and destination document library in Windows Explorer mode and start copying your folder, sub-folders and contents that you want to copy out of the box.
You will find "Open with Explorer" button under the Library tab on the ribbon of document library.

Why can't I open folders or documents on desktop?

I did nothing unusual. Was working on a document using Appleworks, saved it on desktop. Went to open folder where I planned to place it. Nothing happened. Went back to that document. It won't appear. Tried other items on desktop. Nothing. HELP. I need to print document by 12 hours.
Several days previously, I had trouble with iPhoto and posted a question about it. Similar in that selected picture would not come forward when I clicked on it. Wondering if problems are related. Is this a hardware or software problem?

Hi Karen,
I didn't see that you reported back if the iPhoto suggestions worked or not!? Everybody is kinda hanging on that one.
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, try dragging this file to the desktop, then reboot...

I want to be able access/edit folders and documents on both ipad and macbook pro.

I have a macbook pro (a few years old but fully updated software to the newest OS) and a brand new ipad.
I'm a wedding planner and I want to be able to access my files from both devices. I have a folder for each wedding that contains the various PDF vendor contracts sent to me as well as the word docs that I have designed/edited with my timelines and all that other important informatoin.
I want to be able to access and edit the word docs and view the PDFs on my ipad. I have purchased/installed pages on the ipad to be able to edit the word docs.
I am connected to icloud on both devices and I have checked off the documents selection where you tell icloud what to back up on both devices.
How do I find access everything on the ipad?

Pages will not read PDF files. Make sure that you have Pages setup to use iCloud in Settings>iCloud>Pages>Use iCloud>On as well as turning on Documents and Data in the iCloud settings. If you are setup correclty, your Word files will be in the Pages app on the iPad.
You need a pdf reader on the iPad like iBooks or Adober Reader, but in your case an app like GoodReader or Save2 PDF may be better suited for what you want to do.
GoodReader for iPad for iPad on the iTunes App Store
Save2PDF for iPhone for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad on the ...
Once you have an app that reads the pdf files you can save them to that app.

The way I moved from 10.3.9 to 10.5.8 was to use "ditto -rsrc" and copy the user homes and the data share to an external firewire drive. Then did the same in reverse.
I found the key to data and share permissions to make sure that the users had the same UID in Leopard that they had in Panther.
You can then use "sudo rm -rf" to remove any folder from the relocated homes that you want. Remember if you do choose to remove "~/Library" from each users relocated home, you will be removing any iCal calendars, login.keychains, browser bookmarks, custom screensavers and wallpapers, etc.
Users don't really care if they can login and do any work. But there will be much wailing, gnashing of the teeth, and anxiety, if they lose their bookmarks and wallpaper.

In Pages 5 when I try to attach a pages document to an email it gives me 2 folders and 4 files ??? How does one email a pages document.

How does one email a pages document? In pages 5 when I try to attach a pages document to a gmail email it gives me 2 folders and 4 other files to choose from.

Sounds like you are using Gmail.
Pages 5 uses a zipped package of files as its format. 3rd party servers don't understand the format and show it as the component parts.
Use Mail toenail the file or zip the .pages document before sending.

Error while checking in and storing: C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop

Hi all,
I'm getting the following Error while checking in original to Content Server
"Error while checking in and storing: C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop" Message 26253
OAC0, OACT, CSADMIN settings seems to be Ok .
Settings in DMS SPRO - in dc10, dc20(data carrier used PC)- everything fine
-Authorization issues are not there
Earlier checking in was possible with same settings, but now we are getting this error.
From my end i had test the RFC Connection (SAPFTP, SAPFTPA, SAPHTTP, SAPHTTPA) through SM59 and its test run was successful. So the possibilty of RFC Failure was ruled out.
I knew this problem was arised as there is some issue in Content Repository, but not able to trace it out.
If any one knew what to do in this case, then let me know.
Secondly, what are the things need to be checked to identify the content repository Checking in Issue.
Regards,
S Anand

Error Resolved.
I had only executed the below command
./dbmcli on SDB>db_execute SET LOG AUTO OVERWRITE ON
OK
seems like Log file was full. but now its working.
Thanks for your suggestion.

How do I keep my macbook pro from automatically rearranging my folders and PDF files on my desktop

How do I keep my macbook pro from automatically rearranging my folders and PDF files on my desktop? It seems to happen a lot after I've hooked my laptop to my Thunderbolt in my office and then I unhook my laptop to go present at a clients of taking my laptop home to work. Every once in a while if even places all of my folders and PDF files in the far upper left corner of my screen. Needless to say, having to constanly rearrange my desktop is extremly annoying and would love to know what the fix is for this problem. Thank you in advance for any help offered!

Thanks for the tip "baltwo", unfortunately my desktop settings were already set to NONE. I've had one of my IT guys here this moring helping me look through all of this and we're at a wall trying to figure out why it's doing this. This morning when I docked to the Thunderbolt all my folders and PDF files are in the upper lefthand corner stacked on top of each other almost out of view. If I go to settings, displays, and swith to mirroring, all the folders and files go right back to where they're set up on my MacBook desktop, but I lose the ability to utilize the entire screen of the Thunderbolt. Very frustrating to say the least and after searching through and reviewing several forums, Apple is very much aware of this issue and seems to be keeping silent on the issue. Hoepfully they'll launch a fix soon!
THANKS again for the tip, it's much appreciated!

I'm on the lastest software, and my computer is less then a year old.
Please help me!

If third-party software called "Air Display" or "AirParrot" is installed, remove it according to the developer's instructions, then restart the computer. Back up all data before making any changes.

Error: cannot read: C:\Documents; and Settings\JR\Desktop\logrand.java

Thats the problem.
Bug started happening all the sudden.
Double click a java file on the desktop that just two second before was built fine. Go to build it and it says that.
"error: cannot read: C:\Documents; and Settings\JR\Desktop\logrand.java"
Now note this is a file in the IDE.
copy/paste/change file name/brand new file/turn off the computer. Everything on the desktop path says that same error message. Then i noted the semicolon in the middle of the path after documents. The compilier has misspelled the path name. Its open the file in the IDE but somehow the build step gets a path with a semicolon in the middle.
What do i do?

dont bother.
it felt like some sort of corruption so i just reinstalled netbeans and that did the trick.
I was still using 3.5 any way =)

All my folders and the documents in them have gone?

I just updated to the new pages and keynote and all my folders have disappeared from both apps! I do all my note-taking for my law degree on my iPad so I REALLY need to get those documents back on here...
They were all backed up on iCloud so I should still have access to them. Has anyone found a fix for this?

Well I seem to have inadvertently fixed it! I turned off my iPad, and opened iCloud on my computer - thankfully all my folders were still there so I downloaded anything I couldn't afford to lose. Then I closed iCloud, turned my iPad back on, and when I opened pages and keynote they synced with iCloud and the folders and the files in them are all back.

File screening users desktop and documents area

can I use file screening to prevent users saving office documents and email documents on the desktop and documents folder.
these will be for their profiles that are in use on the RDS server, no folder redirection in place just standard profiles.
I have tried to create a screen path of c:\users\%username%\desktop but this doesn't work.
any help would be much appreciated.
thanks
simon

Hi Simon,
Before going further, sorry for the delayed response.
>>would mandatory profiles be the way to go at all seeing as I am using a TS ?
We can use mandatory profiles for users when they access to terminal servers.
To do this, if our domain controller is above Windows Server 2008, we can enable the following policy setting:
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Profiles\Use mandatory profiles on the RD Session Host server
or if our domain controller is Windows Server 2008 or below, the setting should be called:
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Terminal Services\Terminal Server\Profiles
When we enable above policy setting, Remote Desktop Services uses the path specified in the
Set path for TS Roaming User Profile policy setting as the root folder for the mandatory user profile. All users connecting remotely to the terminal server use the same user profile.
Regarding this policy setting, the following article can be referred to for more information.
