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 store files on iCloud?

Actually, I have found that this is very possible, combining several other tips from around the web, though perhaps not easy. I am using Moutain Lion. I am assuming that you have already activated and signed into iCloud previously. Here are the steps for creating a cloud storage location that you can drage any file into, and access from any of your Macs:
1) Create a new folder in the directory that is synced with iCloud. Start by opening a Finder window, and going to the ~/Library/ directory. Do this by typing Shift-Command-G while the Finder is open, and typing ~/Library in the goto window. Next, open the directory "Mobile Documents". Finally, Control-Click inside the Finder and select the "New Folder" option, naming it whatever you like -- I chose "iCloud".
2) Step two is about creating a shortcut to this iCloud folder in the Finder. You cannot directly drag the iCloud folder into the Favorites section of the Finder, but you can do this: Control-Click on your new folder, and select "Make Alias". Now, drag this alias over to your Favories panel in the finder. You will be prompted whether you really want to move the Alias out of iCloud: Say "Yes". Now, delete the Alias -- you don't need the original instance of it any more. (Alternatively, you can skip to the end of step 3 and drag the symbolic link into the Finder Favorites)
3) Step three is about being able to access this iCloud folder from the Unix command line, and from the Desktop GUI. Open a Terminal window (Launchpad => Other => Terminal). By the way, I recommend putting the Terminal into your Taskbar, if it isn't already. You should be in your home directory ... to verify, type "cd" and press Enter. Now, create a Unix symbolic link (an Alias won't work for this) to the actual location of the iCloud folder:
Type "ln -s ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/iCloud/ iCloud" and press enter. The command should be entered precisely, I recommend cut and paste. The first character is a lower case "L" and there is a space after the backslash between "Mobile" and "Documents". You should now have a symbolic link to the iCloud folder created. To view it in the Finder, go to your home directory: Shift-Command-G, and then enter "~/" into the window. You should see a folder called "iCloud" there, with a little arrow animation in the corner. You can drag this into the Taskbar to have a permanent clickable shortcut. You can also access the contents of this folder through the terminal. From your home directory, just type "cd iCloud" and press Enter. You are now in the iCloud folder (or more properly, your local version of it), and can use the usual Unix tricks ... "ls" to list contents, "mkdir ABCD" to make a new directory called "ABCD", "mv a.txt b.txt" to rename a file "a.txt" into "b.txt", etc.
4) Step four is about accessing this folder on other machines. On a second Mac, repeat all of the steps above *EXCEPT* for creating the New Folder in step 1 ... it already exists, but you can get it into your finder bar, and create sym-links in the same way from there.
The great thing about this is that when you work, you are editing a *local* copy of the file, so you can work offline if you like. Then, whenever you have internet access, the *actual remote* cloud copy of any new or modified files is uploaded. Likewise, updated files are downloaded from the cloud to get your local files into sync. You have the benefit/safety of a local hard copy, AND the portability (and extra safety) of cloud storage. It's exactly what I wanted, and it works like a dream. Plus, time machine can back up your *local* copies, to maintain version history. I'm not quite sure what happens if you try to simultaneously edit a file from two places, but don't do that.
Hope that helps you!

How can i make PO number field as a mandatery in sales order

Hi Friends,
can any one help me for the following requirement
how can i make PO number field as a mandatery in sales order
Thanks
Nitchel

Hi
You have to include the "Purchase Order" field in the Incompletion list.
Purchase order field is a Header data in the Sales order.
So you have to create an Incompletion Procedure for Sales document Header.
There include the field "Purchase order" field, assign the "Status group" to it.
You may activate the error/warning check box.
Assign the Incompletion Procedure to your Sales document type.
Go to Sales document type VOV8 and activate the "Incompletion message" field so that without entering PO number you can not proceed.
Now whenever you will create an order (using the order type where you have assigned the procedure), you have to fill up the PO field or else you can proceed.

How can you create files in iCloud

I have iDisk now with multple files and this runs out in 2012. How can i transfer all my files to iCloud? Thanks...

You can't. iCloud has no iDisk-like functionality for storing arbitrary files.
Dropbox is among the best alternatives to iDisk, and improves on it in many ways:

How can I make a playlist play on my iPod in random order?

I have made a playlist on my computer in iTunes. The songs are now in alphabetical order by song title, and when they play on my iPod they play in that same alphabetical order.
Is there a way that I can make the songs in the playlist play in some other order? Preferably, just a random order?
Or, is there a way that I can arrange them in iTunes that is not in alphabetical order and have them stay in that non-alphabetical order?
Thanks!

Just go to Settings, Shuffle, then turn it to Songs. The songs will stay in the same order in the playlist, but they'll switch it up.

How can I make sure that icloud deleted my stolen device

I got my iphone stolen about 2 weeks ago, and proceeded to send a deletion request next time the iphone was connected to wi-fi.
I forgot about the subject until yesterday when, while browsing through my pictures, I came up to a picture I didn't take... In fact, the picture was taken no where near my home town... So it must be the thief that took the picture and when the iphone conected to wi-fi, and beacuse the photo streaming option, I could see it on my new iphone.
So reading about the remote deletion option of the icloud, I read that the way to confirm that the device has been deleted is because you receive an e-mail confirming the deletion. However, I never got this e-mail... and before this, when I logged into iCloud, I used to be able to see the stolen Iphone, but now I cannot see the stolen device.
Please, can anyone tell me how to be sure of the deletion??? how long does it take to remotely delete the iphone?? Does the iphone have to be connected to wi-fi during the whole deletion process???
I'm very worried, because they obviously have access to all my information!!!
Thanks for the help!!

Look in whatever software on your computer handles your contacts and photos. Neither will be part of the backup file. This may be of help:

How can I make the edited photo appear in my folder?

Hi! This is my first post here, and I've just acquired Lightroom after having worked with ACDSee Pro (currently v6) for some years. I love taking photos and editing them later if necessary.
I understand that LR works differently to ACDSee, with the catalogue and all, and I've successfully imported my picture folders into my new LR catalogue. What I haven't yet been able to grasp is what LR does with my edited photos. When I edit (develop) a picture in ACDSee, the edited version of that photo appears in my original folder as soon as I have finished editing it.
With LR, after having done my processing all I can see in my folder is the original, unedited picture. The edits are only visible in LR, but not anywhere else. I'd like to see the edited photo in my folder so that I can use it, for example, for screen saver slide shows. I don't want to go and look for this edited picture in any place other than its original folder, and neither do I want to have two copies of it, namely the original and the edited version, in that folder. All I care for at this point is the edited version since the original can be restored at any time from within LR, or at least I think this how it should be since that's how I did it with ACDSee if I wanted to go back to the original picture.
Is there any way I can achieve what I'm looking for with LR?
Thank you very much for your assistance for a total LR beginner.

I don't think this is possible, given the normal way Lightroom works. You have the original (the image contained in this file is never modified by Lightroom) and you will have the export.
Note: you could instruct Lightroom to overwrite your original (if it was a JPG or TIF or PSD, but not a RAW), however this is extremely discouraged and your original would be gone. Your assumption "since the original can be restored at any time from within LR" is incorrect, that is not how Lightroom works if you overwrite the original JPG TIF or PSD (which of course is just one of several reasons why this approach is extremely discouraged).

How can I make the comments field appear when the operator is debugging a test?

When a test is being written the comments field is being utilized for information relating to what the test is doing and how to solve certain problems that arise. It is basically a quick place for the technician to look at when they are attempting to debug a board. However it appears when you view the sequence files these are off to the right side of the screen but when running the debug engine and the technician sets a break point then these comments are no longer visible to the user off to the right of the screen. Is there any way to have it include the comment in the data displayed when tracing through a test step by step. The technician can double click on each step but it would be alot mor
e user friendly and timly if these could be displayed just to the right of the execution flow column.

Hello John,
I assume you are talking about the sequence editor. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to view the comments associated with a step inside of the execution display window (i.e during run-time). If you are using the operator interface, then you may extract the comment associated with a step and post a custom UI message that contains this information. The operator interface can then be modified to respond to this UIMessage and update its display accordingly.
To post a UIMessage with this data, you must first obtain a PropertyObject reference to the step you are trying to extract the comment from. Then use the "Comment" property of the PropertyObject class to obtain the comment value.
Unfortunately, the Sequence Editor discards all custo
m UIMessages, and you will have no way of viewing the comment using the above method.
Hope this helps.

How can I make the status messages appear IN the status bar / add-on bar instead of floating ABOVE the status bar? (like it used to)

now that I have the status bar back, why won't it show the status messages IN the status bar?

The Status-4-Evar add-on can do this, it makes the add-ons bar behave in a similar way to the status bar in Firefox 3.6 and earlier.

How can I make Quicktime Player 7 appear in the "Open With" menu?

Well, the subject says it all, I think.
I have installed SL, and now I want Quicktime Player 7 to appear in the right-click menu "Open With".
I have tried to rebuild the launch services database like this:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
But to no avail.

I got curious and checked a couple of things with right click. Some items show QT7 as an option, some don't. One .mov file that didn't had as the default ( ! ) something called "QuickTime Player Launcher" so I went ahead and used that to see what would happen, and QT7 did indeed launch and play the movie. Yet another .mov file that showed "QT Player Launcher" and no QT7 turned out to open in QTX. The first one was made in Leopard, the second was made in Snow Leopard using QTX screen capture. Other older .mov files with the "QT Player Launcher" default open in QTX. I remain baffled by a LOT of the behavior with QT7 and QTX.

How can I make the playlist column appear on the left side of iTunes?

Help! I'm left handed nearly always set everything up to the left side of the page. I'm having trouble training my brain to navigate on the new iTunes home page. Moving playlist info. etc. to the right said of the page is uncomfortable for me and distracting. Anyone know how to move this column from the right side of the page to the left?

Well, that was easy! Thanks, Steve. Much appreciated!
