How do I get file paths when hovering over a file name in Mountain Lion?

In Snow Leopard I used to be able to hover over any file name and immediately get a file path in a small yellow window. What has happened to this feature in Mountain Lion?

arthur, thanks for the path bar tip. That is what I needed. Solved the problem.
I don't know what has happened to the yellow window that would appear if you hovered over any file showing the path of the file. It was simple to see the path with this window that appeared and disappeared if you moved the cursor.

How do I get additional lists in Reminder from my iOS devices to Mountain Lion?

I have on my iPhone and iPad several additional lists in Reminders beyond "Tasks." These were lists not orginally in iCloud. When I update these lists on one of the iOS devices, the other one picks it up - (whether I have iCloud on or not). On my MacBook Mountain Lion Reminders, the only list I get is just the "Tasks" list - the other ones do not show up.
How do I get ML Reminder to see these other lists? (I have iCloud turned on for all three devices)
Thanks

How can I get the refund of updating to the new OS X Mountain Lion?

I bought a macbook air in 10th July, after the release of OS X Mountain Lion, I didn't know I can update it for free untill yesterday I read the update policy of the new OS, but unfortunately I had bought the new OS on Appstore, since there wasn't any notification said on Appstore that I can update it free of charge.
Is that possible I can still get the refund of buying the new OS? How can I do? please help me!

How to stop header from displaying when hovering over mail photos

Hi
This is an annoying behaviour to say the least. In MacMail when I move my cursor over an imbedded photo in a message the full header for the photo that is a link shows up almost blocking the photo. I can understand that the cursor would turn into a hand but there must be a way to stop the full address of the photo link? from displaying.
Anyone?

As always some Screen Reader users can reconfigure the software:

So in general I think you are safe doing this, but perhaps others can weigh in here.

Thanks very much,
I saw several scripts where Javascript were used.
But your solution is very simple and it works perfectly in IE7, don't know if it works in IE 8.
Thanks again,

How do I get rid of or change that twitter alert sound in Mountain Lion?

I would love to change the twitter alert sound in 10.8 to something more pleasant, but I don't see anywhere to change it. Maybe I could replace the sound somewhere in the system files?
Might just have to disable alert sounds for it but I do want something to play......

That is the general alert sound, not seeing anywhere to change the twitter alert sound which isn't listed under the sound preferences.

Ho do I convert my Elements 5 Catalog to Elements 13 which I just purchased. I followed one of the tutorials and converted my Elements 5 Catalog to a "pse.13db" file. How do I get Elements 13 to recognize that converted file? When I open Elements 13 Catalog Manager and browse to the correct location, it doesn't show the file. Help! Thanks

Bumps a écrit:
Yes - I can run both versions on my PC. But I really would like to have all of my pictures in the same catalog.
You can't merge catalogs (even PSE13 ones) in any PSE version (only LR can do that). So, converting catalogs is not the solution to your problem.
Since you have PSE5 working on your computer and your images also, the solution is to 'write metadata to files in PSE5) and to re-import the images in the PSE13 catalog. That won't duplicate your image files and you'll lose albums/collections, stacks and version sets, but you'll recover tags, captions and ratings.
To be able to re-import the files indexed in PSE5, you may have to move them to a new master folder.
I am not sure what your problem with the conversion may be. It's quite possible that the resulting catalog.pse13db is ok and that the issue lies in the ability to open it in the PSE13 organizer.
As stated by dj_page, double clicking on that file should open the organizer with the new catalog. You could test that by creating a dummy catalog in PSE13 and importing a small batch of photos. Locate the path of the catalog with the menu Help/system info. Copy the catalog.pse13db in another folder and the 'double click' way to open the organizer with that moved catalog database.
For other users that may be interested in using PSE5 (issued in 2006) on newer OS, here is a useful link:

How do I get rid of the Not Using SoftArtisan File UP notice that is slowing down my uploads to class where I teach?

How do I get rid of the Not Using SoftArtisan File UP notice that is slowing down my uploads to class where I teach? A notice now appears every time I upload an image to class as an attachment that says, Not Using SoftArtisan File UP, and this appears to be slowing down my uploads tremendously. I want to get rid of this. I never used it before and don't need it and don't want it. I just want the uploads to work like they did before this idiotic notice started slowing things down.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Getting application path when launching a Jar

Hi,
very simple
how do you get the application path when launching a jar file?
NNiol

Unless you mean the standard application folder. That application path is an OS specific concept. On Windows systems, for example, you can get the application path by using System.getenv("ProgramFiles"); but that won't work on other systems.
If you're looking for a constant location to store data files, you'd do better to create an application-specific directory under System.getProperty("user.home");.
And if you're just looking for the place where your jar file is, you can successfully follow the previously given advice.

I use QVC online a lot. When hovering over a catagory headings at the top of the page, a drop down menu shows a list of subcategories. Is this feature available in Firefox 4 & 5? If so, how do I turn it on?

I use QVC online a lot. When hovering over a category heading in IE9 a drop down menu appears with detailed subheadings for that category. Is this feature available in Firefox versions 4 and 5? Is this something that can be turned on in Firefox 4 & 5? If so, how do I turn this feature on?

Hey Dave,
How did you get on with this?
Have you tried CSS position:fixed? I have been playign around with it on my own project (and in fact are just about to post a related question) and can confirm that it works with a plain old DIV.
SVG I can't be sure though..
Certainly give it a try.
Cheers

How do I get iWeb to open another iWeb backup file? (I accidentally saved the file iWeb is pointing to, and don't want it. I want to use a prior back-up iWeb version.)

How do I get iWeb to open another iWeb backup file? (Made a mistake and don't want current file iWeb is pointing to)

Thanks Roddy.
FYI- I downloaded the "Domain.sites2" file from your page (because I deleted mine yeterday) So now the file is sitting on my desktop in my "Download" window.
I see the good back-up file I want to use on my desktop, but when I go to drag the file from my desktop and drop it in "Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb", it does not take. I am not allowed to drop files on that iWeb page directly. (I tried to drop the the "Domain.sites2" file from the Download window, but that also does not allow me to drag and drop it directly to the iWeb folder.)
