How can I force Finder to update its windows?
The two failures to update that concern me are: 1) When I have added/removed something from a window/folder and the window hasn't kept up. Tends to self-correct by closing then re-opening the folder. 2) When an image file has been revised, and the icon preview hasn't kept up. The worst examples being previews that still show 'wrong' rotations, and previews that show images only partly loaded. 3) When the choice of opening app has been changed and the window still shows the earlier app's icon. Tends to self-correct after maintenance tasks, but not always.
This is more a minor annoyance than a serious problem, but I would like Finder to actually do what it is supposed to. There was an app. called Nudge that prompted Panther's Finder to get with the program, but it seems not to work for me in Tiger. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for the tip BD, you're prompt to help as always. RefreshWindows does seem to get contents lists brought up to date when Finder's been ignoring them—does navigation windows too which is huge—but has no effect on the icon previews. Any suggestions there?
If the icons are to .jpgs, rotating and unrotating the file in GC's browser window usually works. But that fails on large files and .tifs. It's the opposite of useful to have a preview that doesn't actually resemble its file at all, but how to fix it?

How can I force a library update without re-importing songs?
I have thousands of MP3s that are already imported into iTunes (v5.0.1.4). Unfortunately my ID tags are far from complete and I use another software package to modify them on a regular basis. The problem is that iTunes does not recognize these changes (since I suppose it has already stored the info about the MP3 in its library during the initial import). I know I can remove the MP3 from the library and re-import it, but I really don't want to do so. Is there any other way of forcing a library update?
OK. I just want it to read the info from my iTunes folder
(Edit>Preferences>Advanced>iTunes Music Folder Location) and use that to update the *itl file. My current itl file is a backup from last week, but the iTunes music folder had several additions during the last few days
However, after renaming and running:
Script: C:\update.js
Line: 11
Char: 2
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method
Code: 800A01B6

How can I force a carrier update?
I used the "Restore" option in iTunes to reset my iPhone 3G to an earlier state. (Don't ask why.) Unfortunately by doing so I also reversed a carrier update and now my visual voice mail does not work. Tech support tells me that iTunes will automatically let me know an update is available and then apply it; unfortunately after several weeks and regular connections to my computer the update has still not been applied. Is anyone aware of a way to force this update?
What I have tried:
- rebooting my computer (of course)
- soft and hard rebooting of the phone
- clicking the "Reset Sync History" button in the advanced settings of iTunes
- uninstalling iTunes, attempting to remove every record of Apple from my computer, rebooting and then re-installing. Unfortunately I missed something because iTunes still had my phone's backup files.
Specific system details:
- laptop running Windows Vista 32 Bit
- iPhone 3G
Network: TELUS
Version: 4.2.1 (8C148)
Carrier: TELUS 9.0 (This was at one point TELUS 10.0, and this is the thing I need to fix)
Model: MB489C
- frustrated user at keyboard
- iTunes 10.4.1.0 (most current I can find)Alright ... thanks for the suggestions, it has taken me a few days to find a suitable time to be without my phone for a while and unfortunately these ideas had no effect.
I did a full reset again, this time I set up as a new phone. The newly set up phone still has the old carrier (TELUS 9.0), and iTunes has not yet prompted me for an update. How frequently does it check? I clicked the "Check for Update" button with no effect; I restarted iTunes and rebooted the phone but no prompt yet.
For the heck of it I put a few apps on the phone (which work faster now, nice!) and basically have left it connected for a while to see if I might get a prompt (1 hour so far, not yet).
Any further ideas? This is quite frustrating! -
How can I force pages to update images to reflect changes made in external editor?
I have added a number of (psd if that's relevant) images to a Pages '09 document (drag & drop from Finder) which have since been updated in an external editor. Pages is not reflecting these changes dynamically, even on closing and re-opening the document.
Is there a simple way to force this to occur, or am I forced to re-import the images and hence have to re-size and re-position them accordingly?
-MMike,
This won't happen automatically in Pages. You can save some of the work by setting your current versions of embedded images as Media Placeholders. Then when you drag new copies into those places the sizes and perhaps other features will be retained.
Format > Advanced > Define as Media Placeholder.

How can you force a release update in the appstore?
Recently KLM updated their app to version 3.4.2 an apparently Release 9890.
On my iPhone I still have to deal with (buggy) release 9886 even though by now I have deleted & reinstalled the app several times.
Any suggestions on how to force a release upgrade of an app??I have the latest update/version (= 3.4.2).
But it turns out that there is also a release number when you look at the app under 'Settings'. -

How can we force firefox to check its trusted certificate store on every request?
We have an application on localhost that gets installed from our page. We happen to be running over HTTPS. We wrote code in our installed application to add the certificate to firefox's trusted store. The page that provides the installer for this app then autodetects that it's installed by making HTTPS requests to it. Only, it doesn't work in Firefox since Firefox needs to be restarted so that it reads its trusted store.
Is there any way for us to make firefox read its store again and not rely on a cached result?
Thanks!
MikeHi, I asked on the #security channel about this and they said the work around for this is to add the certificate through the Firefox Certificate Menu in the Preferences/Options menu under Security.
However they are also interested in what makes it difficult for you to use a certificate from a CA that Firefox trusts by default? As this is something we are looking to improve on. I have asked them to follow this thread for your feedback.
Thank you and we are looking forward to your post! -
iPhone 4S with the latest updates 8.1.3 (12B466) installed.
When I switch back to an ongoing application, from the switcher, it reverts to its own 'homepage' rather than the stay at the state/stage I left it at.
How can I force applications to maintain the current state?
I am in the process of getting enough screenshots to demonstrate further.ios7 keeps refreshing apps after switching

An App is corrupt on my iPhone. It will not delete in the usual way (jiggle then X) and it prevents the sync from completing - how can I force its removal?
Hi, Anyone who has this problem: This is now resolved on my phone simply by the prudent timing of the phone software update to 7.1. This update cleared the corrupt map and loaded the original - all my cares went away !! It looks like a Restore would probably work as well, on this basis.

I had over 200 e-mails. I went to my webmail and deleted most of them. However, my iPhone still shows 200 e-mails. How can I force my iPhone to update from the e-mail server? Or will I have to delete each e-mail from my iPhone as well? Thanks.
You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

IPhone 5
I have an app that appeared to need to be updated. I clicked to update three days ago. It has started to update and will not finish. How can I delete the app while its in the middle of updating?Locked on an update can mean a couple of different things. So there are a number of things to try, but start with these.
If you have a "waiting" icon, try tapping on the icon and see if you can pause the update/download. Of it pauses, tap on it again and see if it will resume.
Try holding down on the icon until all of the icons on the screen wiggle. If the X to delete pops up on the waiting/stalled app - tap the X to delete the app. Tao,the home button and the apps will stop wiggling.
You can also try this and see if the downloads will resume. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -

how can i get FIND button and hotmail button to the toolbar, and how do i update firefox i dont want to update automatically
Thanx 4 your "you're welcome" cor-el. It's now 4p.m. E.S.T. in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia on Thu. 29/9/2011 and my page tells me u sent this message 21Hrs. ago. To elaborate a bit on my prev. message: I soon realized that after R clicking in the 'Downloads' screen and then on the 2nd. in the drop down menu I could click and drag and drop the icon of the wanted download into the open file or memory device as required. I would take up the offer I see in this e-mail to participate in helping like you and others do but I won't as I feel I'm not experienced enough yet. Nevertheless u keep up the good work. Yours, james1.51.
P.S. I used Google Chrome for this not Mozilla but it's still me! -
itunes can not connect to server and I can't find its proxy settings.
So I think it uses these from IE and those are blocked by company policy.
So, how can I force itunes to use the firefox settingsI fixed this issue (with help from tech support) and it involved several things.
After adding a song to iTunes, right-click on the song in iTunes and select "Update iTunes Match."
OR go to the iTunes menu-->Store-->Update iTunes Match.
Maybe that's the reason, it just hadn't updated to the cloud.
OR maybe it's not a high-enough bitrate file. This happens to me because most of my tunes are home-recorded.
Sometimes converting to .mp3 or Create AAC version might work. (You do this with a right-click in iTunes, and then you will want to remove the original file from iTunes.)
There is an iTunes Preferences setting, under General Preferences called Import Settings. Try setting it to AAC Encoder and iTunes Plus. That (I think) causes imports to be slightly better quality.
Good luck! The tech support person at Apple is requesting that a knowlege-base article be written about this.
