Help with Finder

Recently I have had a problem with my Finder in that it does not display the Hard Drive, Applications, Music ,Movies, or Desktop or any of the other folders set to display on the left hand side of the frame. They have all dissapeared!
I can access applications I need through spotlight, but i am unable to open anything in the finder with the acception of folders I have on my desktop.
A strange thing i noticed is when i click on the empty space where my items used to be in finder, a ghost Icon of the different Items are there when i move my mouse with it, but they are not visible or accessable.
If anyone can help me fix this problem it would be greatly appreciated. If you need anymore information that i forgot to include, please let me know! Thanks in advance for your help in this matter.

"I don't have a Tiger DVD I believe i Just have a regular OSX and not OSX Tiger, does that mean i should be starting my computer with the original instalation disk?"
Your system info confirms you are using Tiger (OS 10.4.8). If this information is incorrect, please inform us of the correct OS system installed.
If correct yes, you repair permissions/disk from your Tiger installation DVD. See Testing and repairing your startup disk for detailed instructions.
I would do this before I would do the drastic Archive & Install procedure. Always try the easier troubleshooting solutions first.

  • New Mac user looking for help with Finder, Preview, Keyboard, & Dock

    So about a month ago I switched over from a lifelong Windows user to a brand new MacBook Pro, and while I am adjusting pretty well, there are still some things that I haven't quite figured out.
    First up on the list is Finder! I like my files to be arranged just like how they are in Windows Explorer--folders first alphabetically, then files alphabetically. I've managed to acquire this setting by messing around with the "clean up by" and "arrange by" functions but I don't really know the specific combination. Most of the time these preferences are saved and set as the defaults under "View Options" but every once in a while it resets and I have to tinker around with the settings all over again. Does anyone know of a way to fix this? It's only happened twice so far, but I'd rather not have it happen again. Also, occasionally when I delete an item, there is a blank space left where the icon was instead of all the files following it bumping up a space. Any quick fixes for this bug?
    Next up is Preview. Again, I like the Windows Way and I like to be able to browse between the files in a folder while using Preview/Windows Photo Viewer. I know that there is a way to browse between files if you select the whole folder and stick it in Preview, but is there a way to achieve the same result without having to do that? An app or "extension" of some sort that adds arrows in to browse between photos? I've had no luck finding anything other than the aforementioned option. Is there a good free alternative to Preview that will function similarly with the browse between photos option?
    One of my favorite things about my new Mac is the backlit keyboard function. My old laptop didn't have it and as someone who is online more often at night it is super helpful. But is there a way to turn it off during the day/in bright settings? A way to put it on a timer? In System Preferences I selected the option "Adjust keyboard brightness in low light", which I assumed to mean would have the keyboard NOT very bright when there IS light, but it continues to light up just the same. Any apps or extensions to help with this one?
    And finally, the dock! This question is more about aesthetics than functionality but help is appreciated all the same. Currently, my dock looks like this: http://i42.tinypic.com/35ktxlz.png It is rather opaque and the indicator lights can barely be seen. However, in a lot of tutorial videos I've been watching, many people have docks that look like this: http://i.i.cbsi.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim/2011/07/19/Lion_LaunchPad.png It is a darker shade of gray, the divider is dashed rather than a straight line, and the indicator lights are clearly visible. Does anybody know how to get this look for the dock? I've looked in the dock preferences but there's not really anything in there other than magnification/size/effects.
    That about sums things up! I'm sorry if any of these seem like "silly" questions but they are all things I have been unable to find answers for. Any and all tips, tricks, and help is appreciated! Thanks in advance for all your help!!

    congratulations on coming over from the dark side.
    Seems like you are interested in column view, which would show you the hierarchy of folders and files:  Column View in Mac OS X Mountain Lion - For Dummies Not sure what's going on if your finder settings don't stay put. May be a corrupted preferences file, which is easy to fix, but is perhaps a topic for another discussion.
    What I'd suggest is to have an open mind and try to see what the mac can do, rather than force it to look like your windows machine. I mean, if you just want it to look like windows, then why bother switching? If you give it a little time, you'll start to appreciate the mac way of doing things, and see how it is infinitely more awesome, powerful, creative, intuitive, and better designed (and the software way better written)  than what you left behind. But that's your call.
    There are some threads on this forum with complaints about the backlight. Keyboard backlight settings query...: Apple Support Communities  Evidently it depends on the angle of the screen and the light sensor relative to the light. Some suggest that a SMC reset may help: Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)  This is not an issue for me, I just adjust the brightness with the keyboard buttons if I want. Real men shift their own gears, drink their coffee black, and adjust their own keyboard brightness. I am not aware of any software to exert more control over this feature but a search of macupdate  Download Apple Mac Software & iPhone Software : MacUpdate may help. I mean, it's up to you what is important. I can waste a lot of time playing around with the GUI and with unnecessary software, or I can just get my work (and play) done.
    You might prefer the no-glass dock, that removes the shelf, and makes the indicator lights like more discrete orbs. You can do this with the terminal. Using the terminal is also, perhaps, a topic for another discussion.I like the 2D dock much better. If you want I'll give you some directions for how to do it. Otherwise, here's a reference: 2D Dock - MacRumors Forums

  • I need help with finding right stylus pen for lenovo yoga 2 pro!

    I did read other person's post, but I did not find my answer. I am currently using my fingers to write my notes and it drives me nuts! I do have a stylus pen that have huge round fabric tip. It does not write well. I want a stylus pen with pointy end so I can acturally take my notes on OneNote. I writes equations down so it is very hard to write small and neat with my hand. I do know that my laptop is touch sensitive so it only works with rubber or fabric tips! I could not find any stylus pen with those tip that are pointy.... I need help on finding pointy tipped stylus pen that will let me write well. I am ordering ati-glare screen protector because I can see myself on the screen like a mirror... lol Hopefully this will not keep me from finding a pen that works well! Please give me link to the pen, if you can! Thank you for reading!

    ColonelONeill is correct.
    The Yoga 2 Pro does not have a digitizer, so a capacitative stylus, which mimics a fingertip, is what you'd need.

  • Help with Find / Replace button title tag contents (text)

    Hi there,
    I designed my site with Sitegrinder (Medialab) –
    Currently all the title tags generated for buttons are the same as
    the actual html page name.
    The problem with this is that the tooltip which appears in
    browsers when you hover over the button with the mouse gives you
    the page name. Instead I want to use these tooltips to give the
    user an indication of what the function of the button is.
    An example: A zoom button above an image: Currenty the
    tootlip says “zoom imagename pagename” – Instead
    it should say “click here to zoom”.
    I need help to get the Dreamweaver Find and Replace tool to
    batch replace these tags for me for about a 100 pages.
    Here is an example of the code:
    <body>
    <div id="id1zoomimpastooilweddingbutton"><a
    href="zoomimpastooilwedding.html"
    title="zoomimpastooilwedding"></a></div>
    I only want to replace the text in the title tag - Since the
    text “zoom” appears several times in the body, I
    can’t get the Find tool to pick up and Replace the occurrence
    of “zoom” in the title only…….
    Options I’ve tried:
    Search Current document: Search for: “specific
    tag”: “title”, “containing”:
    “text” = zoom (I’ve tried this with
    “zoomimpastooilwedding” and zoom[^”]* with no
    results
    I’ve also tried: Search for: “specific
    tag”: “body”, “containing”:
    “specific tag” “title”
    “containing”: “text” = zoom
    etc……………..
    I need help with what parameters to enter in order to find
    and replace all the text within the title tag with my own text
    Thanks very much!
    Anton

    You have ~ 100 pages, each of which has images with title
    attributes (not
    tags), all of which BEGIN with the letters "zoom"?
    What do you want to replace that text with? Wouldn't it be
    different for
    each button? Or do you mean that you would do multiple
    sitewide searches,
    one for each button? This illustrates how wrong it is to not
    use DW
    Templates or server-side includes to simplify the management
    of your
    navigation elements....
    Did you ask Medialabs if it would be possible to specify this
    before
    generating the HTML?
    How did you like working with SiteGrinder? It looks like a
    nice product to
    me, although I'm not fond of the final results code-wise....

  • Need help with finding "my" camera..

    I'm having difficulty finding a camera with specific features that are important for me. I would greatly appreciate any help in finding the brand and model that fits the bill. I've googled and googled, without any luck. Help!  I'm looking for a digital camera with:
    1. GPS
    2. "small" size (gotta fit in my purse, no camera bags for me!)
    3. viewfinder
    4. takes AA batteries
    TIA

    As a GPS and AA enthusiast, I too have been waiting for a similar combination.
    nuff said about GPS models like the NIkon AW100, P510, S9300 similar models using propreitary batteries.
    DSLR with AA powered grips don't fit your portability factor
    have you considered an AA powered data logger?  I use the discontinued Sony GPS-CS1.  Not only does it provide a data file to sync with my camera clock, but it also draws a breadcrumb on where I go so I can look it up on a map afterwards.

  • Help with finding someone who actually gives a dam...

    Help with actually getting something done.
    We have had the same telephone number installed at the same address for over 14 years with various services associated including call sign, call minder etc. we also have another line terminating in a different building with Broadband.
    We initially wanted to consolidate the service and order BB provision on the original line and would have liked to have moved across to BT Business but they were unable to port my Call Sign No. so we instead ordered provision of BB and moving of the socket outlet via BT residential.
    I went to great lengths to explain exactly what was needed & why we were not switching to BT Business, it was paramount that both the original number and the call sign number stayed active as both have been extensively advertised in connection with our businesses.
    On Monday 18th the engineer arrived and duly capped off the service in the original building and extended the cabling to the new position and terminated with a new Open Reach faceplate. When he left the premises our phone was working properly and there had been minimum disruption. I understood that at some point in the next 24hrs the BB would be activated on that line - he told me he had already signed the job off as completed.
    On Tuesday the BB was still not active so I called to be told the job wasn't yet complete as tehre was a problem with our call minder service and call sign. I then tested our line and found that it was no longer working. We can hear a dial tone but outgoing calls get a message saying the number called is not recognised and incoming calls go to a standard BT messaging service that we can't access.
    I called back & explained. I asked for a divert but was told that couldn't be done until the job was signed off and that would take 24 hrs. 
    To cut a lot out it's now Friday afternoon so 100 hours have passed. Yesterday I eventualluy got call diverson in place but despite being told it would divert our call sign calls - it does not. So anyone calling that number is just gertting an unobtainablke tone.
    I have been promised call backs that haven't happened and currently I am told an engineer will call as there is a fault shoiwing near or inside the property. But I have to wait until Monday (1 week after initial visit) this has been brought forward from the original date of Weds.
    I have no confidence that this will resolve the issue as it seems there was a known problem on Tuesday that related to the exchange rather than the line.
    I am told that I am on standard care so not eligible for weekend work however I would have been business if BT could have managed the transition. Also the only reason I'm off service is due to work being incorrectly carried out by BT.
    If I make mistakes in my business I pull out all the stops to minimise the the inconvenience. In this case I have spent over 6 hours repeating information and often being talked over by people who are very willing to offer apologies but who don't actually resolve the problem.
    It's impossible to estimate exactly how much this has already cost our businesses but we are definitely talking hundreds and possibly a thousand or two. We can't afford to miss any business ever but particularly a sthings are in the world now, we sell a time related product so when the day has passed we have missed that opportunity. 
    In my opinion if BT think OpenReach need to visit then they should have escalated this to have it resolved before now and definitely not expect me to wait 3 more days as its a weekend. Somebody must have the authority and the desire to put this right but I am unable to communicate with them. 
    I was promised a call back yesterday ay 15:00 but it never came, afetr another 30 minute phone call I was promised a manager would call me back within 1 hr at 7:00 pm last night, still waiting, I called again today and was told I would be called back as soon as the manager was off the telephone - that was 2 hours ago and still no call

  • Help with finding files

    I would really appreciate any help on this! I have my itunes library on an external hard drive. The power adapter to that drive failed. I replaced it, but now when I open itunes it doesn't recognize where any of my files are. A friend told me to try to go into Edit>Preferences and find the drive of my hard drive and reset that as where the files are. That didn't work. I can go in manually and click on a song where the window pops up that itunes can't find the file, and I am able to find it and then it will play. But to do that with all files in my library would take forever. Thank you so much for any help!
    (I have itunes 8)

    Try This. Hold the shift key down, and open iTunes. Do not let up on the shift key until you get a window that asks you to choose a library, or create a new library. If iTunes opens without giving you that choice, just close it and re-open it with the shift key down. Nine times out of Ten it works on the first try. Click "choose a library". You will get another window that allows you to navigate to your hard drive and show iTunes where your music is stored. In a folder called iTunes or iTunes Music, choose "iTunes Library.itl" This should bring back your entire library the way it was when you last used it.

  • Need help with finding a workaround: the shotcut ctrl+click opens 2 tabs in my case

    Hello!
    I have several links with an onclick event, which contains some javascript handling and window.open() after it, and they have attribute href="javascript:void(0);" as well.
    When user try Ctrl+click Firefox opens him 2 tabs: the first one with "right" content and the second with javascript:void(0).
    I've tried to set href="#" and in this case Ctrl+click works as I want, but on the original tab the user is redirected by the browser to the top of the page. The empty attribute (href="") also results 2 tabs. Maybe there is some value of the href attribute with which everything will work as I want? I've fed up with this and will be appreciated a lot if you help. Thanks.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == User use Ctrl+click

    I won't be searching thru all that code to try to find something relevant to your post, but if you are using a Loader to load the images, you can get the width and height as soon as the loading is complete using the loader object (loader.width, loader.height).  You just need to wait until loading is complete, so you'll need a listener for that if you don't have one already.

  • Help with finding my site in google?

    hi all i have my site up and running and think i have it indexed?
    im after a bit of help regarding how people search for it? for example the website is for my turfing company based in essex called Unique Lawns. i need to know how i go about keywords so if someone was to type in google "turf laid in essex" my site would appear?
    my site is here if you need to look into the code etc: http://www.uniquelawns.com/
    i can find my site in google by typing unique lawns usualy in the top 6-7 on the first page which i think is pretty good as i only submitted it a few days ago, i have been reading about META keywords which im a bit confused about as some say they dont work in google?
    im just after some advice as to how i can get my site found when typing in keywords related to my site,
    also are google adwords any good as i have a free £50 voucher that came with my hosting?
    many thanks for any help

    If, as you say, some of your pages have been indexed by Google, chances are all pages have been indexed..... including the phrase:
    "turf laid in essex"
    A quick Google search returns
    About 1,440,000 results
    for that phrase...and I'll bet your's in there somwhere!
    Why even the mention of
    "turf laid in essex"
    has this Adobe post listed 4th position, first page... saying the post was added 17 minutes ago....
    so remember, in that 1,440,000 results, there are a lot of sites... all wanting to be on the first page... so why did the Adobe post make it and your site did not?
    Look at the time the Adobe Forum has been around... so you have to consider time.
    Look at the massive amount of quality content on the Adobe site... how does your site compare?
    Look at all the other inbound links that the Adobe Forum has built up over all those years? How about your site?
    Don't be discouraged, Google "SEO Princliple" and topics like that... TONS of info available.
    Just remember that pretty much everyone in those 1,440,000 results want to be first page... so competition can be stiff... review and build on sound SEO principles and don't expect it happen overnight.
    Best wishes,

  • Need help with finding prime numbers

    I have seen this question asked several times so i apologize for asking once again but I am very new to programming and could use some help. I know the way I have the extra if statements is not at all efficient but I cannot seem to figure out how to get a nested for statement with a divisor to work. The error I'm getting with this current code is that the second for statement needs to be boolean.
    package primenumbers;
    * @author Owner
    public class Main {
         * @param args the command line arguments
        public static void main(String[] args) {

            int incrementer; //increment numbers
            int sqrtInc; //square root of current increment
            int divisor;
            //set variables to 0
            primecount =0;
            incrementer=3;
            sqrtInc = (int)Math.sqrt(incrementer);
            divisor = 0;
         //print 2
            System.out.println("2");
         for(incrementer = 3; incrementer < 10000; incrementer = incrementer + 1 )

    I thought I had described it. I appreciate the help but it seems pretty clear to me what this program is supposed to do.Yes, what it's supposed to do is clear: It's supposed to find some prime numbers.
    What's not clear, and what I'm asking about, is what algorithm you're trying to use. There's more than one way to find primes, and they all start with no regard whatsoever or any programming language. Then they get implemented in a programming language. It's not clear at all from that mess of code what algorithm you're trying to implement.
    And especially in the followup posts. Nope. Nothing was clarified there.
    Program should list every prime number that is less than 10000.
    I have it to check if the modulus is not zero for the following conditions:
    -divided by 2
    -square root divided by 3
    -square root divided by 5
    -square root divided by 7
    -square root divided by 9
    -square root divided by 11Why those particular numbers?
    Then check the modulus is not zero for the following
    number divided by a second number that increases up to the first numberI think I kind of get what you're saying here, but I don't think you understand it well enough to translate it to Java.
    I am really trying to get you the information you need but I am not at all familiar with this.The point here is that programming is as much about clarity and specificity of thought and communication as it is about the mechanics of the language. If you can't clearly and precisely express what you're trying to do--without regard to any programming language--then you won't be able to program it.
    At the very least, if you can't find a way to express your algorithm clearly and precisely, then you ought to put print statements in at each step of your program so you can see exactly what's happening each step of the way, compare that to what you think should be happening, and then find out where you're going wrong.
    Also, as a point of best practice, you should alaways use braces for if, for, etc., even when they're not strictly necessary.
    // bad
    if (...)
      singleStatement();
    // good
    if (...) {
      singleStatement();
    }

    DOB, DOCKET, SENT_DATEI was able to do that with the following query. The query below is able to give me all duplicate records based on the Criteria above
    SELECT      DEF.BIRTH_DATE DOB,
               S.DOCKET DOCKET,
               S.SENT_VIO_DATE SENT_DATE, COUNT(*)
    FROM SENTENCES S,
                DEFENDANTS DEF
    WHERE      S.DEF_ID = DEF.DEF_ID
    AND       S.CASE_TYPE_CODE = 10
    GROUP BY  DEF.BIRTH_DATE, S.DOCKET, S.SENT_VIO_DATE
    HAVING COUNT(*) > 1;
    //I AM GOING TO CALL THIS QUERY 'X'Now, the information to be displayed on the report: defendants Name, DOB, District, Docket, Def Num, Sent Date, and PACTS Num if possible.
    The problem that I need help on is how to combine those queries together (what I mean is a sub query). the 'X' query returns multiple values. please have a look at the comments on the query below to see what I'm trying to achieve.
    here is the main query:
    SELECT      INITCAP(DEF.LAST_NAME) || ' ' || INITCAP(DEF.FIRST_NAME) || ' ' || INITCAP(DEF.MIDDLE_NAME) DEFENDANT_NAME,
            DEF.BIRTH_DATE DOB,
            TRIM(DIST.DISTRICT_NAME) DISTRICT_NAME,
            S.DOCKET DOCKET,
            S.DEF_NUM DEF_NUM,
            S.SENT_VIO_DATE SENT_DATE,
            DEF.PACTS_ID PACTS_NUM
    FROM      USSC_CASES.DEFENDANTS DEF,
            USSC_CASES.SENTENCES S,
            LOOKUP.DISTRICTS DIST
    WHERE      DEF.DEF_ID = S.DEF_ID
    AND      S.DIST_ID = DIST.USSC_DISTRICT_ID
    AND     S.CASE_TYPE_CODE = 10
    AND     S.USSC_ID IS NOT NULL
    AND // what i'm trying to do is: DOB, DOCKET, SENT_DATE IN ('X' QUERY), is this possible ??
    ORDER BY DEFENDANT_NAME; thanks in advance.
    I am using Oracle 11g, and sql developer.
    if my approach doesn't work, is there a better approach ?

    If I got it right, you want to join table USSC_CASES.DEFENDANTS to duplicate rows in USSC_CASES. If so:
    SELECT  INITCAP(DEF.LAST_NAME) || ' ' || INITCAP(DEF.FIRST_NAME) || ' ' || INITCAP(DEF.MIDDLE_NAME) DEFENDANT_NAME,
            DEF.BIRTH_DATE DOB,
            TRIM(DIST.DISTRICT_NAME) DISTRICT_NAME,
            S.DOCKET DOCKET,
            S.DEF_NUM DEF_NUM,
            S.SENT_VIO_DATE SENT_DATE,
            DEF.PACTS_ID PACTS_NUM
      FROM  USSC_CASES.DEFENDANTS DEF,
             SELECT  *
               FROM  (
                      SELECT  S.*,
                              COUNT(*) OVER(PARTITION BY DEF.BIRTH_DATE, S.DOCKET, S.SENT_VIO_DATE) CNT
                        FROM  USSC_CASES.SENTENCES S
               WHERE CNT > 1
            ) S,
            LOOKUP.DISTRICTS DIST
      WHERE DEF.DEF_ID = S.DEF_ID
       AND  S.DIST_ID = DIST.USSC_DISTRICT_ID
       AND  S.CASE_TYPE_CODE = 10
       AND  S.USSC_ID IS NOT NULL
      ORDER BY DEFENDANT_NAME;If you want to exclude duplicates from the query and do not care which row out of duplicate rows to choose:
    SELECT  INITCAP(DEF.LAST_NAME) || ' ' || INITCAP(DEF.FIRST_NAME) || ' ' || INITCAP(DEF.MIDDLE_NAME) DEFENDANT_NAME,
            DEF.BIRTH_DATE DOB,
            TRIM(DIST.DISTRICT_NAME) DISTRICT_NAME,
            S.DOCKET DOCKET,
            S.DEF_NUM DEF_NUM,
            S.SENT_VIO_DATE SENT_DATE,
            DEF.PACTS_ID PACTS_NUM
      FROM  USSC_CASES.DEFENDANTS DEF,
             SELECT  *
               FROM  (
                      SELECT  S.*,
                              ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY DEF.BIRTH_DATE, S.DOCKET, S.SENT_VIO_DATE ORDER BY 1) RN
                        FROM  USSC_CASES.SENTENCES S
               WHERE RN = 1
            ) S,
            LOOKUP.DISTRICTS DIST
      WHERE DEF.DEF_ID = S.DEF_ID
       AND  S.DIST_ID = DIST.USSC_DISTRICT_ID
       AND  S.CASE_TYPE_CODE = 10
       AND  S.USSC_ID IS NOT NULL
      ORDER BY DEFENDANT_NAME;SY.

  • Need Help With find and Replace

    I am a little green to this all. I am trying to find and
    replace a word inside the edit region and Dreamweaver will not
    change it, because it says its inside a locked region, but its a
    editable region?
    I have about 900 pages I need to make this change on and was
    relying on the find and replace tool to do that. I tried differn't
    advanced options, nothing seams to change it. I am using cs3.
    Thanks for any help

    Using Templates with a 900 page site is a crime against
    humanity. You reach
    the optimal size for Templates between about 50 and 100.
    The error you are getting suggests that there are coding
    errors on the page
    (perhaps even unrelated to ANY DW Template markup). We'd need
    to see the
    page to make progress with what that might be, as Alan says.

  • Help with Find Expression

    Dear All
    Can you help me to prepare the new expressions which can help me to localize all records where records contain two similar entries for example "01" or "02" or "03".
    My data model is build in standard customer repository on 7.1 platforms. I do have a Tuple. In those tuple only two columns:
    Saleorg and PL
    that tuple is added to main table customers. And some records have values for example:
    Customer number...............Selling Org/PL
    0000001.............................01,ABC; 02EDC;03,WSX
    0000002.............................01,ABC;01,QAZ;03,EDC
    0000003.............................02,RFV;03,IKO
    I need to localize all records where value "01" as for example (for customer) 0000002 is more than ones.
    Can you help me to write an expressions where we can localize all records with Selling Org containing Selling Org more than once, for my search is not important what is PL. Important is only Selling Org cannot be more than once. As for example customer 0000002 contain incorrect values because Selling Org is more than once that is as you see in bolded number: "01,ABC;01,QAZ;"
    And I need to find all that kind of records.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hej Joy
    As I can see the forum is updated and is possible to enclose the pictures, here is one with validation:
    and here is my expression:
    I checked all I find out, that this part is not working correctly for me:
    FIND(Selling Organisation.SALESORG,"01")+1)
    that part is working only when record contain Selling org as for example:
    01,edc;01,rfv
    if record is like that:
    01,edc;01,rfv;06,edc
    then is not working.
    Can you please quide how to slove the problem?
    Thank you
    BR
