How do I collapse all uncollapsed folders

I have an issue that I have tried to tackle a couple of times as I learn to optimize my mac. Advance apologies to anyone that has helped in the past but I can't seem to get this to work.
I would like to be able to collapse all folders throughout a Finder window. By which I mean to say I wish to select a folder and uncollapse all the contents and then do this to a number - say twenty - of other folders and all their subfolder contents.
Right now I have to collapse each folder individually - which means I have to do this twenty times to get back to a fully collapsed state.
I seem to have tried CMD, OPTION, CTRL, SHIFT and a number of other keyboard commands while collapsing one of the folders but it only seems to collapse the one folder.
It doesn't seem like proper form to have to either run around and close each folder individually or alternately to close out of the Window completely and have to then find where you were at to open a new Finder window with all contents collapsed....
Thanks for any help.

Hi. Many thanks. I think this is where things broke down last time I tried to get this to happen and I got sidetracked with other issues.
While holding down the option key, press the right arrow button.
this expands all the folders.
I get this behavior.
The when you're ready to close those folders. Hold down the option key and press the left arrow.
I don't get this behavior...
Anyone have any ideas? It is actually much more important for me to get the second behavior explained here than it is to get the first.
Thanks Chop....

When accessing podcast list, how can I collapse all podcasts

HT201342 Currently I have 'on my mac' mail boxes (in MAIL) and I have folders and mail boxes in iCloud. How do I transport all the folders/mail boxes from 'on my mac' to iCloud?

Currently I have 'on my mac' mail boxes (in MAIL) and I have folders and mail boxes in iCloud. How do I transport all the folders/mail boxes from 'on my mac' to iCloud?

Are the mailboxes you are talking about belonging to other email accounts? You can't get iCloud to receive mail from other email accounts. However if you have 'On My Mac' mailboxes which contain emails you can move these (or their contents) to iCloud easily enough. For each mailbox:
1.Create a new mailbox with the same or a suitable name on iCloud.
2. Open the mailbox you want to move.
3. Hit command-a to select all the messages.
4. Click and drag on any of the messages to move it to the new mailbox in the sidebar.
5. If there are a lot of messages, take the dog for a walk because it's going to take quite a long time as they all have to be uploaded
If you have a very large number of messages don't try to do them all at once.

How do I include all photo folders in my screensaver?

Prior to upgrading to Mountain Lion, I was able to set multiple folders of photos as my screensaver. Since the upgrade, I am only able to select one folder at a time. How do I get ALL my photos to be used as my screensaver?

Drag and drop each photo folder into iPhoto. This will create a new photo collection for each folder using that folder's name.
Select the folders you want in your ScreenSaver. In the bottom toolbar in iPhoto, select Create Slideshow. Call it what you want and it will appear in the left panel under SLIDESHOWS.
Now in System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Screen Saver > Source:, choose Photo Library..., and select the name of your SLIDESHOW from the left panel.
Now, the Screen Saver will cycle through all of the pictures contained in your slideshow. Try the Ken Burns style. Also, in iPhoto, there are options available with your slideshow to enable iTunes music tracks to play simultaneously.

How can I collapse all my sub-folders when bookmarking a page?

In Safari when I go to bookmark a page all my sub-folders and their own sub-folders are shown,
Is there a way to collapse them all into just the main folders and then being able to choose the correct sub-folder from them to bookmark the page.
I have about 50 main folders but a few hundred sub-folders so when I go to bookmark a page it's very time consuming and annoying.
In Firefox just the main folders are shown, so I just choose the main folder and expand that and choose the appropriate sub-folder, Job done in seconds!
Many thanks in advance [ I hope! :-) ]

How can I synchronize all hotmail folders in Mac's "Mail"? (Not just Inbox)

I tried to synchronize my hotmail accounts in Mac's Mail but only those emails inside "Inbox" can be synchronized. No other folders under my hotmail can be synchronized. Is there any tools to solve this problem?

If you right click on a son in iTunes and click Get Info. Under the Sorting tab iyo can change how the songs is sorted in iTunes
Tips for using song and CD info to organize your music
You can edit information in the Info window to make it easier to find and sort items in your library. For example, you can:
Group individual movements on a classical CD into one work by indicating the name of the work (for example, “Piano concerto in A Minor, Op. 54”) in the Grouping field.
Group songs that are part of a compilation together in your library by clicking Details and selecting the checkbox next to “Album is a compilation of songs by various artists”.
Identify the individual artists on a tribute album in the Artist field, and type “various” in the Album Artist field.
Create your own genre category by clicking Details and typing the category in the Genre field.
Change the order in which tracks on a CD play by changing the numbers in the Track fields.
Create a Smart Playlist that includes only songs that are just the right speed for your workout by typing the number of beats per minute in the BPM field. For instructions, see Create a Smart Playlist.
Identify a movie as a music video (click the Options button, and choose Music Video from the Media Kind pop-up menu).
Identify an item that you imported from a CD as an audiobook, so it appears under Audiobooks instead of Music (click the Options button and choose Audiobook from the Media Kind pop-up menu). If you do this, iTunes also remembers your place in the audiobook.
Enter custom sorting criteria for an item. Select the item, choose File > Get Info, click Sorting, and enter the custom text.
Does the non-syncing songs play in iTunes on the computer?
is there anything different about the songs that do sync and those that do not? Like where they cam from? The format (Get Info>under the File tab).

Just so that you know for the next time, when you give us a URL, there is no need to post your code. This is by far the most preferred method for obtaining our assistance.
Having said that, place the fillowing in the HEAD section of your document, ensuring that you do have the file in that location
<script src="SpryAssets/SpryDOMUtils.js"></script>
Then, near the bottom of the page within the same SCRIPT content as your constructor(s), place the following code
Spry.$$(".AccordionPanelBot").addEventListener("click", function(){
Accordion1.closePanel();
The Spry Element Selector (Spry.$$) requires SpryDOMUtils.js. Here we place an event listener to your last tab with a class name of AccordionPanelBot, which when clicked will close the currently open panel(s).
I hope this helps.

I accidentally removed my account and all my folders underneath the account went with it. Can i undo this removal. How do i get all those folders back?

I had many folders under my main e-mail account, with all my historical e-mails. I want to remove my account to set it up again, and in doing so removed all the subfolders under that account. Is there any way to get those subfolders back?

How can i search ALL email folders at once

A mass selection or multi-conversation select would be a very nice feature to have. I, like others, receive automated text notifications from motion sensors, emails, etc. Each message comes from a unique number so it's not as simple as deleting a single conversation. PLEASE, Apple, consider what I would think would be an easy addition to the functionality of the iOS.

How can I get all bookmark folders displayed (Not just recent or most used) when I click on add bookmark?

This mandatory comment is unneeded and stupid

Hey!
Choose the bookmark that you want to displayed and transfer them to "Bookmark Toolbar". You will able to see the bookmarks that you want to displayed.
Did this fix the problem? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

How do I collapse multiple libraries into one library?

I have a couple of dozen libraries, created over multiple versions of FCP, and now I have equivalent copies of events and resources strewn across multiple library files across three drives. Plus, FCP has been automatically creating new instances of projects and storing them in files named with dates; I can't find the latest version to open it!
How do I collapse all these libraries into one? Hopefully not by moving event by event from one to another! It takes a couple of minutes per event and resource; the program keeps wanting to "reload" resources after each move.

It looks like you updated your libraries multiple times. Yes, the only way to consolidate them is to drag the events from each library into a master library.

Collapse All and Expand All functionality in Tree

Hi All,
I am using TreeByNestingTableColumn element to display the tree hierarchy .
Does anyone knows how to implement Collapse All and Expand All functionality for this tree (if someone have sample code for these functionality then it will be great for me) ?
Thanks in advance.
Ravi.

Hello Ravindra Sahu,
Code for EXPAND ALL button:
*step 1:Access node
lo_nd_tree_hierarchy = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_tree_hierarchy ).
*step2: Extract all the table entries from node which is binded to table
lo_nd_tree_hierarchy->get_static_attributes_table(
    IMPORTING
      table = lt_tree_hierarchy ).
*step3:set element attribute Expanded to abap_true
    loop at lt_tree_hierarchy ASSIGNING <ls_tree_hierarchy>.
      <ls_tree_hierarchy>-expanded = abap_true.
    endloop.
*step4: Finally the updated data needs to be binded.
lo_nd_tree_hierarchy->bind_table( lt_tree_hierarchy ).
Code for COLLAPSE ALL button:

Collapse all topics in TOC

HI,
I have several merged helpsets. How can I collapse all topics programmaticly while initializing the JavaHelp system in my application.
TIA
Mario

There's a common misconception that what is in your TOC gets published.
The TOC is used the first time you generate a printed document. Thereafter, there is no update for good reason, you may want different topics. To update to what is in the TOC you need to click the Left arrow to clear everything from the right pane, then click the right arrow to put the new version of the TOC across to the right.
If you look at the current version of the TOC you will see some books on the left are not highlighted. That indicates there are topics in that book that are not on the right.

Sync of all mail folders between iCloud, iMac, and iPad

How do I sync all the folders? My inbox sync's, but if I send an e-mail on my ipad it will not show up in the sent folder on any of my other devices.

How to collapse all folders in list view

If you search on this topic, there are many discussions about it without a real solution. The challenge is the following: you have a list view of many folders, some of which are expanded, and some are not ( to expand/collapse a folder you click on the little triangle by the name of the folder ). Lilke many users on the apple discussions I wanted to collapse all of them with one action instead of clicking on each folder individually.
I found a solution on superuser.com: first, in the list view, select all with command-A, and then press Command-(left arrow). To expand all, do Command-A followed by Command-(right arrow).
I hope that helps, and my apologies if this solution has been given before, but I didn't find it with my 5 minute search.

Thank you very much! Exactly the solution I was searching for. Aloha!
