HT2476 How to view pictures folder in find when pictures folder goes automatically to iphoto?

Does anyone know where to select the finder program as the default for viewing photos in photos or pictures folders?

Hi dean192,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can use the method from this article to choose which application you'd like to open photos (such as .jpg files):
Viewing PDF documents in Mac OS X with Preview
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22545
Note that Finder is used to browse the files on your computer, but you can use Preview to quickly view image files.
Select the PDF file in the Finder.
From the File menu, choose Get Info.
You can also ctrl-click or right click the file and choose Get Info.
In the Info window that appears, click the disclosure triangle next to "Open with."
Set the pop-up menu to Preview.
Click the Change All button that's immediately below the pop-up menu.
Cheers,
Jeremy

How to View Folders First in Finder (a la Windows!?)

Is there a way to configure the finder view so that it is arranged alphabetically, but showing folders before files (like in Windows Explorer)? I can do it with Kind sorting, but apparently not alphabetically.
Many thanks!

PathFinder is a fantastic Finder replacement, I use it with Finder shut off right after launch. Its flawless.
There actually used to be a frameworks tweak to allow this. I've tried and it doesn't work anymore but if someone wants to have a go at seeing it it can be tweaked to work again here ya go...
For those that are curious here WAS the "tweak" (go to System: Library: Frameworks: ApplicationServices.framework: Versions: A: Frameworks: LaunchServices.framework: Versions: A: Resources. Whew. Within that folder, you’ll see the English.lproj folder. Highlight it, and then select File: Get Info. In the Ownership & Permissions area, click on the Details triangle, click on the lock icon, and then click on the Owner pop-up menu and set it to your user name (enter your password if asked). Leave this window open; you’ll be changing it back in just a minute.
Inside the English.lproj folder is a file named Localized.strings. Drag it onto TextEdit. Find the line that reads "Folder" = "Folder"; and insert a space before the F in the second Folder.)
Keep us informed,

How to view hidden folders in Finder

Sometimes, it's not just folders, it's files too. Sometimes in non-mac sources, like my SMART TV, I see files named .filename.mp4 along with filename.mp4. And these fraudulent files are really bothering. And the worst part, I can't see them in Finder. So I need help to remove the .file.mp4.
I used the term 'filename.mp4' to represent an MP4 video file. But the files that have a . before them need to be deleted.
Thanks!!

As Jeff Shenk says, they are "Apple Double" format which Mac OS X uses when storing Mac files on a non-HFS+ file system. The ._ files contains the resource fork of a file. Some applications store additional information about a file in the resource fork. This could be things like font information, custom file icons, album art, track information, information about file formatting from a word processor, etc... This is no limit to what an app might store in a resource fork.
For future reference you can easily take Mac OS X screen shots using:
Command-Shift-3
- Capture entire screen
Command-Shift-4
- Drag to select copy region
Command-Shift-4-Space   - Capture Window under cursor
If you want a menu or pop-up, then do the
Command-Shift-4-Space
after the menu or pop-up is setup as you like it.
If you want to capture the screen shot to the Clipboard, then add the "Control" key to any of the above, and you can then paste the screen shot from the Clipboard into any app that accepts picture input.

Accessing picture files in finder when using iphoto

i'm using version 7.1 of iPhoto and i can't figure out how to see my photo files in the finder. the only option i have is to look at the entire iPhoto library. this becomes especially frustrating when trying to upload individual files.
i remember with the older versions of iPhoto you could directly access the photos from the finder. must i go through iPhoto to have access to these pictures? and when uploading to the internet can i not choose the individual files i want to upload via the finder?
any and all help appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Congratulations, you've just asked the most asked question on the forum!
With iPhoto 7 the old iPhoto Library Folder has become a Unix Style Package File. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
There is never (nor ever was) a reason to go into the iPhoto Library Folder. There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS You can drag from either of these to the window of your Mail client.
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
All of these are faster and safer than surfing the iPhoto Library via the Finder.

HT2476 How do I alter which programs start when I turn my iMac on?

New to Apple Mac, how do I alter which programs automatically run at Start Up?

Forgot to say that its mainly Office 2011. I have looked at Login Items and the only one there is Itunes? So why does Word and Excel start? and my Mail?

How to make a Quicktime movie start when I want, not automatically?

Is there any way to control when a Quicktime movie starts playing? I can pause and resume it pressing the K key, but I would like the ability to start a movie inside a slide clicking a key or the mouse.
Any ideas?

Hugo, in Keynote movies automatically start whenever they appear on a slide, either because they have "built in" on a slide, or because the slide they are on has transitioned in (and the movie has no build itself).
Given this, there are two ways to control the start of a movie. One is to put the movie on a separate slide, and advance to that slide when you want the movie to start. If you like, you can do a screenshot of the first frame of the movie and put that on the prior slide, so that it looks like the movie is paused on the first frame, and when you click, it runs. If there is no transition effect used on the second slide, the audience won't be aware that you have used two slides to achieve this effect.
The other way to control the start is to assign a build to the movie, so that it builds in on a click. Again, you can have the first still from the movie already on the slide, and then, when you want to play the movie, have it build in directly on top of the still -- this will again give the appearance of a stopped movie suddenly starting up.

How do I hide my Caller ID when making out-going c...

anyone...?

ntung wrote:

On a per-call basis, I don't think there is a simple way to do that. You'd have to access your account's Caller ID settings, then disable Caller ID before making that call. You can't do this on the apps for mobile phones and other portable devices. I think you can do this on the programs that run on the computers, and definitely know you can get to Caller ID settings when you log into your account on the Skype web site (use the "Account" link at the top of this page to do that).
Even if you disable Caller ID, there may still be a number that displays on phones you call. This number won't identify you specifically, but may identify the call as coming from Skype. It may be a series of numbers that are not a phone number (for example, 0000123456 or something like that). This is something done by Skype's partner providing the connection to the telephone network, and Skype has no control over this.

How can I avoid a pop-up when I'm going from an email to the email list?

I use Mozilla firefox to go online. When I've opened an email I've received and then want to return from that email to the email list, I click "backspace." Half the time, it gets me back to the email list. The other half the time, a window pops up, saying:
"To display this page, Firefox must send information that will repeat any action (such as a search or order confirmation) that was performed earlier" and I have to choose to cancel or resend. I always click resend. I don't want this window to pop-up. When I read an email and then hit the backspace key, I just want to get back to the email list.
Can you help? Thanks, Alvin Glazerman

Don't use backspace to go back to that page. Either open the link in a new tab with a middle-click and close that tab to go back or click a link to go back to the inbox if there is such a link on that page.

How do I size the iTunes windows when the window goes below the bottom of the screen? Can't reach controls or items at bottom of list.

I can't access items at bottom, or scroll to them. Full Screen gets around the issue, but I don't like full screen.f

I can't see my pictures in teh finder using Quick look or Cover flow

I have iPhoto8 installed and it works fine, but I cannot get a look at my library of photos without opening iPhoto. I thought I was supposed to be able to use the finder and cover flow to see my pictures quickly to find the one I wanted without opening iPhoto? When I go to pictures I get the icon for the iphoto program and it says iphoto library, but I cant see pictures. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi ArshDeep,
I want to update PaymentReference field in a Document object.

oDucument.PaymentReference = MyCustomID;
int iErr = oDucument.Update();
oDocument properties matches with the required document implying the correct document is in the oDocument object.
But this returns errors.
Would please give me a Solution.

How to view MAC addresses on the network?

I can log into other non-apple routers via browser and see a list of MAC addresses of equipment connected to the network, but I don't see how to view them if using my Airport Extreme and going in through Airport Utility.
Any thoughts?

If It's the same Mac that can see the PC, it's already set up correctly. Something must be wrong somewhere.

The digitization of data has introduced a complexity to our interactions with it that we continue to struggle with. "Picture" and "Photo" now mean different things in different contexts. In this case (and in general) defining our terms clearly is the first step towards understanding what we are trying to do. Understanding is the path that allows us to do it.
All pedantic, but please stick with me here .
You record a set of instantaneous data with a camera.
That data is processed by your camera and saved to a file.
The file format is usually either RAW or JPG.
You transfer those files to your computer, and you import them into the program Aperture (often in one operation).
From each camera-file imported, Aperture creates a record in its database (called, imho unhelpfully, a Library) and an Image that you see in the Aperture Browser and Viewer.
Aperture links the Image and the imported file.
The imported file is called, within Aperture, an Original.
Every Image has an Original.
The Image is not the Original. The Image is what you see in Aperture.
The Original is a file that is stored on your computer.
You can make changes to an Image.
Aperture calls these changes Adjustments.
Adjustments are saved to another file attached to the record in the database. Let's call this file the Changes File.
Aperture uses these two files attached to the record in the database to create the Image.
Image = Original + Changes File.
The Image is not a file.
Because the Image is not a file, it cannot be shared with other programs. It exists only inside of Aperture.
In order to share an Image with another program, you must first create a file of the Image.
You do this by exporting Images ("File ▹ Export ▹ Version" is the command in Aperture; should be, imho, "File ▹ Export ▹ Image").
You may ask, "Why all the complexity? Why doesn't Aperture save Images as files?" The answer is simple: Images can require less — and in many cases very very much less — storage space than files of Images. Rather than save a full-size file for every Image, Aperture saves only instructions on how to make that full-size file. The gain in storage efficiency is huge. The trade-off is that although your Images are always available to be made into share-able files, you must create those files when needed (which you do by exporting selected Images).
Here is your question reworded with more precise terms:

No, there is not. Images exist only in Aperture, and are not accessible for use in other programs. You must create, for each Image in your Aperture Library, a new file outside of your Aperture Library in order to use it with another program.
Aperture does allow you to create and save within your Library share-able files of your Images. These files are called Previews. You specify the file parameters in Aperture Preferences on the Previews tab. These files are available to other programs via the OS X Media Browser. These files are what you get when you drag selected Images out of the Aperture program and drop them on another program or on your desktop (which is part of the Finder).

How to add a specific view to a folder in Finder?

Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if there is a possibillity to add a specific view to a specific folder in Finder.
I know this sounds abstract, let me explain:
In OS 10.5 there are now 4 views for the Finder:
- Icons
- List
- Columns
- Cover Flow
Usually I prefer icons, but for my movies and pictures folders I prefer Cover Flow.
It would be handy to preset Cover Flow as view for the movies and pictures folders while other folders remain unaffected and still view as icons, instead of constantly having to change the view.
Is there any way to accomplish what I am trying to do?
Thanks Beforehands

Lawrence,
What you want to do is possible.
Open your folder (the one you want to "customize"), then choose View>Show View Options. At the top, you will see a check-box labeled "Always open in xxx view," "xxx' being whatever view is currently set for the open window. Change the view on the window, using the icon in the Toolbar, to set your desired view, then enable the checkbox in the View Options. Close the View Options, then close the window.
Initially, changing the view on this one window will change your view globally. Not a problem; just change the global setting back to your desired view when you open the next Finder window.
Scott
