How can I arrange files manually?

how can I arrange files manually, rather than alphabetically?

Use Icon View.
Adjust the icon size and position relative to the text to your liking, then drag the icons to the exact arrangement you would like.

How can I sort files in a folder by name?

How can I sort files in a folder by name? iFS first sort files that starts with upper-case letter and then files with lower-case letter.
Like:
A_file
B_file
a_file
b_file
I want:
A-file
a_file
B_file
b_file
This doesn't help:
String[] sort_attributes = {"NAME"};
boolean [] sort_orders = {true};
SortSpecification sort = new SortSpecification(sort_attributes, sort_orders);
currentFolder.setSortSpecification(sort);
Do I have to get all items in a folder and then sort them?
/Elin

I do not think there is a way to do that without add-ons
There are a couple of workarounds I am aware of
* Add the bookmarks manually in the bookmarks library and choose the position. That is using Show all bookmarks -> open required folder -> select a position and right click -> add new bookmark <br />Rather a slow and clumsy process
* Sort a folder and copy it. If you sort the folder contents then copy and paste them they remain in that order when pasted.
There are add-ons but I have not tried them. For example
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/simplesort-bookmarks/
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/auto-sort-bookmarks/
There will be others available and take note of the advice to backup bookmarks manaully.
* [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer#w_manual-backup]]_manual-backup

How can I get files to open automatically upon download?

I would like files I download to open automatically and for the download window to be turned off. I know how to turn off the download window, but cannot get files to automatically download.

Hi JJMack. Thanks for getting back to me.
I think I've created confusion about what I want. All I want is to end up with a file that is flattened so that I can save it as a tiff without getting a warning that it contains layers. Please correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve always assumed I should always flatten a file before I save it as a tiff unless I specifically want to retain layers or transparency. I’m only talking here of files that open with a single layer: ie. Layer 1. I assume that if I don’t flatten such files the resultant files will be unnecessarily big?
The only reason I keep saying I want a Background layer is that I know that a flattened file will only have a Background layer. I don’t have any desire for a Background layer per se. I certainly don’t want to add extra layers - quite the opposite.
So perhaps the question I should have asked should have been:
How can I get files to open 'ready-flattened' by default so I can save them directly to tiff without having to manually flatten them every time?
Cheers

How can i store files from a PC on time capsule

How can i store files from a PC on Time Capsule

Actually although the format on the TC is not NTFS but Mac HFS+, that is irrelevant as far as windows is concerned. The TC offers SMB protocol to the network.. so how the TC stores the files is totally irrelevant.
1. TC is by nature not particularly SMB happy..
Change all names, TC and wireless to SMB compatible. Short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
Turn on the guest account to read write access.. assuming you don't have security issues.
Set the workgroup correctly.. don't use wins server.. no body does nowadays.
Note short no space names.. guest access and workgroup all set.
2. Download and install airport utility for windows or just bonjour for windows.. bonjour should be included with the full uitlity but that is not necessary.
3. Just doing the above when bonjour loads it should bring up TC as accessible.. if not, or you need to access it manually.. open windows explorer and type in the address bar.
\\TCName or \\TCIPaddress .. obviously replacing the generic name with the actual one used. In my case. as per the above screen shot. \\TCGen3
You will then see the main root directory of the TC.. data or whatever it is named..
Create a new directory under the root directory for your windows files.. and copy them there.
Note .. some issues can arise if you are using the TC for TM backups.. Please keep a large enough amount of free space available that TM still works.. pondini recommends using disk images.

As long as you still have plenty of free space this is not an issue but TM may have issues when it fills the drive as it is designed to do.

How can I make files in iCloud appear in folders in alphabetical order

I'm working on Yosemite 10.10.2. Files in folders on Desktop are listed in alphabetical order by file name. BUT files in folders in iCloud are listed in random order. How can I get files to be listed in alphabetical order?

Hello mary ann from palm coast,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly how you are accessing your iCloud files. If you are accessing iCloud Drive throught the Finder on your Mac, you should be able to arrange and view the files by sorting by name in List View as you would otherwise. You may find the information and steps outlined in the following article helpful:

How can i arrange that movies and picts are stored only once?, how can i arrange that movies and picts are stored only once?

how can i arrange that movies and picts are stored only once?, i find them in thumbnail, i movie, imovie thumbnails, and some times in cache.mov or as imovie proyects

The movies themselves are stored only once. The other files you're seeing are small ones that are used to reference, display and access the main file. If you check the file sizes, you'll see that only one (the movie file itself) is large.
If you don't want anything saved but the main file, stop using iMovie.

The startup disk is the internal SSD in your MBA. You may delete files by draging the file to Trash (or clicking on them and then execute COMMAND+Delete). Then empty Trash.

How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; I also have Microsoft Word installed on the Mac as well.

How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; none of the options I choose work. I also have Microsoft Office (with Word) installed on the Mac as well.

Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.

How can i copy files from one external hard disk to another using macbook pro with retina display

How can i copy files from one external hard drive to another using macbook pro with retina display?

That's odd - if you open Disk Utility (Applications->Utilities) and select the disk(s), how are they formatted? If you're only going to be used with your Mac, they should be formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".

How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus)? WD drive was improperly ejected and Finder no longer recognizes it. Tried fixing with Disk Utility but failed.

How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport 2T) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus 2T)? WD drive was improperly ejected (although we did tell it to eject) and now Finder no longer recognizes it. Using MacBook Pro and I just upgraded to Yosemite before this happened. Was told at Apple Store to use Disk Utility to repartition, but it failed. It says to backup files and restore. But how do I backup files? Or would appreciate any other suggestions to repair drive.

You may drag & drop between external hds.
Should you run into trouble.
Take the exernal drive appart. Take out the harddrive. Try reading the data via a usb adapter. Put a household finan on the hd.

How can I transfer files from my computer to my I Pad?

Try a conduit such as Dropbox.
Goodreader or Documents to Go also have helper apps that allow transfers.
Goodreader is particularly good in that it has a integal file tree and you can mount your computers harddrive and navigate directly on your ipad.
Use the open with to view/move files into other apps.

How can I transfer files from my mac to my iPad in an easier way? I'd like to put some movies on, and I can use iTunes, but is there another way? I have transferred epub books using Dropbox. Movies eat up a lot of dropbox space and the iPad has trouble getting them.

USB disk. You still have to go through iTunes.
Connect device to computer/mac
Select your device in iTunes menu.
Apps...
At thebottom of the page you will see the app.
Select it and the Add for windows and + for mac
Hope that helped.
In the long run there is no way to access or uplood data on your device without iTunes unless you JailBrake....
