How do I: get folders "View as Buttons"

I know that this used to be a an OS9 thing and I didn't use it often. But as OSX has this thing about ignoring the last saved settings in a window... I thought maybe theres a way to resurrect the buttons. Even if by 3rd party hack. Although I have searched the forums and not easily found anything regarding this topic.
The major nuisance is that if I open a Folder, OSX wants to use the settings from the Parent folder on all the Children. Only disks open with their own settings. All second and third folder ignore their own settings and obey the parent. I can change them, but they go back as soon as the folder is closed. Yes I tried trashing the settings for each folder, no change.
I have also found that the Launcher also be something nice to have as I may not need to enter the apps folders for any reason with the Launcher active. I do use the Doc but its already loaded and the Icons are quite small with no way to Further organize. 28 icons in all without nesting.
I did find a nice Launcher alternative. I haven't tried it yet. Hope its spiffy enough to replace the old launcher.
-Some stuff apple Took away that was originaly the hot new thing. They never really asked if we wanted to keep it. I think at the very least they could have been left as optional installs.-

Is true I could do that. But even that mode is more or less limited to a Launcher like window.
I have no desire to unload Parental controls onto my account or create a dummy account just to use buttons. There has got to be a way to make the windows as buttons. After they have this new fancy abilities wired into our folders that makes them a more or less like "active desktop"...
See while I am looking to gain the Button ability again. I am also secretly hoping there is also a way to retain the order I prefer the Icons to be arranged. Even launcher had limited abilities in arrangement but It did allow nesting with Bulleted Folders. I had fun with the Bullets, but hated that I couldn't change the background colors... lol
I just hope that things have advanced since then and something so simply described really is just so simple even to put back.

How do I get a "transfer images" button to show up in the solution center?

How do I get a "transfer images" button to show up in the solution center for my officejet 6500 709a on XP?
Scan buttons are displayed and work, as does print.

What installing the twain plug-in, you mean? Go to your applications folder. Find the Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 folder. Look in there for a folder called support files, then for a folder called optional plugins. In the Optional Plugins folder, there should be a folder called ImportModules. Just drag that from the Optional Plugins folder to the regular Plugins folder.
This will be infinitely easier to do if you put your applications folder window into list view, not the default icon view. To do that, click this button at the top of the window:

How do I get folders to appear above other documents in Finder?

Okay, I've been using PCs and MACs for years but I only recently bought my own, personal iMac G5. I know how to use OS X pretty efficiently.
Although, How do I get folders to appear above other files (ie. mp3, .doc, .psd). Meaning that folders have a higher authority then those 'lower' documents.
I'm basically saying I want to make it act like a Windows Explorer view, in a way.
It just makes sense to have folders at the top of the list.
In final, I want to be able to do this. Have everything in a Finder window alphabetical but with folders appearing at the top, in column view.
Thanks!

Column view, to the annoyance of many, is strictly alphanumeric and there is no preference in Finder to opt for anything else. There is one kludgy thing you can do: add a space to the beginning of an item name to force it to the top.
While there is no way I know to set a default width, you can have the width expand to fit the contents by double clicking the || thingies at the bottom of the separator between columns. Option double click will expand all columns to the same width as the the widest one (pretty useless actually, as it only applies to ones already visible, not new ones).

Are you talking about mail folders (boxes)?
If so, you need to make sure new mailboxes are made in your iCloud account, not in the ON MY MAC section.

How can I get Disco Viewer to remember the user's final filtered worksheet?

Hi every one:
How can I get Disco Viewer to remember the user's final filtered worksheet?
Each time the users login they have to make several operations (drillings, pivots, etc) to get their reports customized as they want. I wonder if is there a chance I could configure Disco Viewer in order to remember the last worksheet layout, and set it as the initial worksheet the next time the user login?
Thanks in Advance
Jorge

Once your users have customised the report to their requirements, they can add the URL of final data diaplay screen to their favourites menu in the browser.
Next time they want to run the same report, they can access the URL saved into favourites, they'll just need to enter their password to run the report when prompted.
I know that this works with Oracle Applications user id's, and that the URL "remembers" User Name, Oracle Apps Responsibility, Workbook Name, and Paramteters Used, Table Layout Customisations, and Page Item selections... so in theory it should record Drill information too.

You can not - Nobody else (if not a very selected few at Apple dev.group)
TimeLine was lost in iMovie'08 and 09 and a very simple one re-introduced in iMovie'11

How do I get my down volume button to work

How do I get my down volume button to work

there is a couple of options
1. have you checked that you change with bottens is on so if you go into settings and go to sounds its just under there.
2. you can slide up from the bottom of the screen and adjust there
and if they dont work ring apple and book an appiontment and they will just replace it well thats what they did with mine. and the problem was with mine was the insides of my phones where it reads the bottons were not working so they replaced with a brand new phone. becouse i had the same problem with my iphone and did the above and got annoyed doing the slide up bar to adjust all the time. hope this helps

How do I get to the Submit button on my form?

I have finished my first form but can not find how to get to the submit button on the form to add where I want the form to go - how do I get an email address attached to the form?

Hi Amy;
A FormsCentral form can be either a web form users fill out in a web browser, or a PDF form (can also be distributed both ways).
For a Web form the data is always collected by the Adobe FormsCentral servers and is available to view/analyze in your account on the View Responses tab of the form. There are also options to set up Email Reciepts (to the form filler) and Email Notifications (to you and other users you specify) that can contain the form data.
For a PDF form you have the option of the Submit button that submits the data to FormsCentral the same as the Web form, and the same Notifications and Reciept options apply here too. Alternatively you create a PDF in FormsCentral to use however you'd like and can edit in Acrobat and add your own Submit button that emails the PDF or form data back to you directly. There are a number of tutorials online for adding email "Submit" buttons to PDF and if you are going to edit a FormsCentral PDF you would want to look at this FAQ as well: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3661
I hope that helps, let me know if you still have questions.
Thanks,
Josh

How do I get folders and their content to show up in the "Administrative Console"?

We have added a few sub folders under the “webroot” folder. I did this so I could make a custom web page that generates the code need to display the video in a web page if it is one of the folders.
My question is how do I get these folders and their content to show up in the “Administrative Console”?
Also how do I get the videos to be logged?
I have looked through the Server.xml and Application.xml files and the fms.ini but do not see any place, Am I not looking for the correct setting?
Attached is a pic of the folders.
Thanks
Chip

If Apache and MS do not talk to each other then where or should I be making these folders, some other location?
Maybe under the vod folder under applications?
Where in the “Flash Media Server” pdf would this be talked about?
Would I edit the Application xml file?
I am so new it hurts!
Thank you,
Chip
