HT4689 Why I can't I see my file names when using Mission Control?

It's not uncommon for me to have multiple Word Documents open at once and it's extremely annoying that they are no longer labeled like they used to be when I used "Hot Corners" in Snow Leopard. I missed out entirely on Lion but just bought an iPhone and figured I might as well upgrade to Moutain Lion on my computer while I was at it. Anyone else hate this particular feature of Mountain Lion or know how to solve it? I have already unchecked "Group Windows by Application" so at least they're no longer in a stack (thanks, Support Community!), but I still want to be able to differentiate between them at a glance. Any help is appreciated! I'm a longtime Mac user and not used to being so frustrated with my devices.

I was hoping that this would be fixed in the 10.8.2 upgrade but it has not. Anyone have any luck? Earlier today I was trying to write a paper and navigating between 10 pdfs was a nightmare without being able to hover my mouse for the titles like I used to.

Can't drag folders or files between apps using mission control

I've been using Lion without any incident so far, but now that I've downloaded the lastest update (10.7.2) I can't drag a file or folder using mouse click (or my wacom tablet) between apps or folders - gestures simply will not work.
Once I click on a file, the multi-touchpad stop responding - if this is for real, Mac just lost it's allure... the nimble feature of exposé and/or mission control was this sole ability to navigate through apps and draggin files.
What's the status, anyone got this issue already?

I've been encountering the exact same problem! that was my favourite multi-touch gesture of all, which improved the productivity greatly. The only workaround for me is to assign hot-corners to mission control and drag files i want to the corners, but I really hope there's an explanation for this because i would really like that feature to be back

Exporting to PDF - How Can I Get A Small File Size When Using Lots of Vector Art?

I am trying to create a small PDF file for e-book distribution purposes. My Indesign pages contain a variety of photographs, vector icons and vector maps.
A publisher in Britain who does similar books on a Mac using Creative Suite was able to create a 22-page document very similar to mine (similar icons, graphics, density, etc) that is only 2.84 mb, a small fraction of the file size that I'm getting! I've included a sample page of his below, which is a low-res jpeg, but on the original PDF all of the text and images (except the jpeg cliff background) are super sharp - they look like vectors when you zoom in. I've also included screenshots of his PDF export settings.
I don't know if he's exporting directly out of Indesign, but my best guess is that he is.
My vector-based icons, numbers and maps are bloating my PDFs considerably. When I remove them, the Indesign and exported PDF file sizes drop dramatically. For the life of me, I can't figure out how he got such small PDF files sizes using so much vector art! The PDF graphic compression settings don't seem to include any options for vector art.
My vector art graphics (numbering, icons, maps) are all saved as Illustrator AI files and then placed in Indesign as linked graphics. My best guess as to why I can't achieve smaller PDF files is I'm either doing something wrong with the vector graphics themselves or handling/exporting them improperly out of Indesign.

Can we have . inbetween the file name when we use WEB.SHOW_DOCUM

i am using froms 10 g
i have 2 buttons .on clicking those buttons i have to open a csv files.
for that i have used WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT in button Pressed.
the name of the csv files is as follows
1. ICCM_PAK_MLP_IN1CE_15092006_ReceptionSDB.csv
2. ICCM_PAK_MLP.tar.gz_ReceptionSDB.csv
the 1 st button will open the first file and the second will open the second .csv file
On pressing the button 1 it opens the first csv file ICCM_PAK_MLP_IN1CE_15092006_ReceptionSDB.csv
correctly.
but the problem is ,On pressing the button 2 is not opening the file whereas it pop ups a window asking do you want to extract the zip file if i say yes it is not doing anything.
i think the problem is with the csv file name
ICCM_PAK_MLP.tar.gz_ReceptionSDB.csv
can we have . inbetween the file name i thk it is considering the .tar which is inbetween the file name as file type
anyone please advise

"can we have . inbetween the file name i thk it is considering the .tar which is inbetween the file name as file type"
I believe you found the answer to your question. Why not try removing the . in the filename? It would be faster than asking.

Why can't I see my files in Finder, using Lion?

Hi - I'm running Lion 10.7.2 and have noticed in Finder that the contents of many folders aren't visible. This seems to be for newer files added. For example, I copied a folder from a thumb drive, into my (username) -> (Documents) folder. I see that folder name, but there are no files inside. When I "Get Info" about that folder, it tells me, as expected, there are 30 items, and almost a MB of data. Furthermore, when I back up to SuperDuper, I can actually see what I'm looking for - all files are there in that folder and for every other folder! In addition, searching in Spotlight finds any/all of the files contained within the folder.
My problem, again, is that no files, none, not one, are visible in various folders, yet they exist, and are retrievable, via Spotlight.
Should I do a disk check, or other recommended procedures?
Thanks for any help!

Why can't I see my hotmail folders when using Mail on my Mac, but I can see them when I use Mail on my iPhone, weird?

I've set up Mail on my new Mac, but the folders I have set up in my Hotmail are not visible. Funny, coz I can see the folders when using Mail on my Iphone. Have I set the connection between Hotmail and my Mac incorrectly? It was very automated so I don't know what I did incorrectly. Can anyone out there give me a tip?
Cheers, Paul

How can you keep the file name when using "Download Linked File As..."?

I'm a longtime PC user finally making the transition to Mac. Some of the tasks that seemed so simple in Windows have really stumped me! One of the tasks I do frequently is download files into specific folders. After much looking, I finally found the "Download Linked File As..." option if I right-click on the download link. The problem is, when I choose this option, I lose the file name. I get a window in which I can choose the desired folder, but the filename is always "0". If I want to keep the filename (and I usually do), I have to type it in manually. Is there anyway around this?

You can post a screen shot by clicking on the liitle Camera icon above your reply. :)
Just checked on 10.7.4+, still the same, something is borked about your install, to see if we need to re-install...
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?

Can I permanently allocate programs to different Spaces using Mission Control?

ie. Will they re-open in previously allocated spaces after shut down or quitting the program?
I have created 4 desktop spaces, and know how to put different programs/windows into different spaces, but I haven't been able to work out how to have them re-open in those spaces each time, without having to manually move them there. You used to be able to do this in Expose and Spaces, but can you do it with Mission Control?

Jose,
Click and hold the Application icon in the Dock, and you will be offered this contextual menu to make your choice:

How can I adjust the file names when using the "export layers to files" Script in photoshop?

Currently the standard set up adds "_0000s_0001_" in front of the layer names that I need the new files to use. I'm processing hundreds of images so I'd like to avoid selecting and deleting the extra characters one by one. Any way to automate this or set it correctly before exporting?

Why does photoshop automatically rename file names when using save for web?

All of a sudden when choosing Save for Web, when i type in a name for my file in the File Name: dialog box, when you click "save", it saves the selected slices as the name of the document and not what i typed.
For example: My psd file is called "website header" and i want to save the slices with the name "index". If i save slice-02 or slice-06 it will save as "index_02.jpg" but if i choose slice 01, it will save as "website-header_01"

Check your settings in the SfW output options and yopur slice names in PS itself.

I can no longer see my account name, but get a Guest user account, I can no longer see my account name, but get a Guest user account

I can no longer see my account name so I can gain access to my information, but now all I get is a Guest user account and it won't let me log into that account. All it lests me do is re-start the computer and use it in restricted mode. Can someone please help me!

Recommendation for your consideration
Hopefully your original user account was an "administrator". I have two admin accts in case one admin. acct gets "trashed.
Lets see what other forum members offer: my solution requires use of terminal and works. CLI (Command Line Interface) might be intimidating for you but we'll see what others possibly offer.
As I say the solution I have works well and will allow you to create new user(s) replacing your former users whatever type they were. I promise to check back today if no solution to you is offered...
Let 'er rip and...

Why i can't open my raw file in adobe photoshop cs6... and i use camera Canon 650D

why i can't open my raw file?

You probably need to update your Camera Raw plug-in for CS6 to something new enough to understand the 650D raw files.
The usual way you’d do this would be Help / Updates in PS.

After I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS7 I can no longer see the individual chapters when playing my audio books. Also I can't edit and copy multiple text messages.

After I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS7 I can no longer see the individual chapters when playing my audio books. Also I can no longer edit a and copy multiple text messages like before. Is there a way to do these things I am missing?

Not only can i not see the individual chaptes -- apparently like you and everyone else suffering through the "improved" iOS7 -- when my audiobook repeats a "file" within chapter, which it sometimes does, I cannot get "inside" the chapter and move forward to where I'm supposed to be.
Whatever happened to "if it ain broke.......???

I can no longer see the files stored in my 160 ipod

I had 42 gigas in files. I was trying to copy one of those files from the ipod to my laptop and suddenly it frozes. I had to restart the laptop. When i open the ipod to se the files stored, i was no longer abble to see the files, eventhoug when i see the memory ocuppied in the ipod, is still there, but i can access to them. The music still works perfect. I had a couple of smaller files, like 1Giga and they still there and I can access to them perfectly. But the problem is in the file with the 42 Gigas.

Check your iPod's hard drive for errors. Open My Computer, right-click the drive, Click Properties, Tools, Check Now..., Select Options, Start.
Some of your missing files/folders may be restored although their names may be lost. 4gb is the max. file size on FAT32 so are we talking a 42gb folder rather than a single file?
