Just got lion and where the heck is the icon size slider in finder?

The only thing that made me upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard was the every present icon slider in thumbnail view, allowing you to instantly make the icons bigger. I was annoyed that it Leopard I could only do it for results of a search, so I had to constantly perform fake searches to be able to see my icons at a decent size.
But now in Lion (Day 2) it's definitely not there by default. I don't even see it when I search. Please told tell me Apple took a step backward and removed something useful? Please tell me that it's hidden in a setting somewhere, right? It'd be like getting a new car with no cupholders!

In the Finder's View menu select Show Status Bar. The slider should appear in the status bar as before

How do I turn off and on the icon size slider bar at the lower right status bar of a folder window.

I have been trying for days to help a friend with a new iMac to turn on the icon size slider bar that on my iMac appears at the bottom of ever folder when it is open when in the "view" > "icon" mode. I cannot find anything that discusses this slider bar. I can turn this status bar off and on on both my machine and my friends machine, but I cannot turn off or on the slider on either machine.

This did not help. I am a Mac User since 1984 and generally I am never stymied buy the Mac OS, but this one has me. I can open and close the lower status bar, as you described, and that works fine for me because I have the icon slider bar already there and it works fine; however when I open the lower status bar on my friends machine there is no icon size slider bar, and I can't seem to find out how to get it there, as it is on my machine or at all. The icon size can be controlled from the View menu, but as a photographer, it is really handy to have it at the bottom of the folder window. Thanks for trying.

Icon size slider not always working

Since the installaton of Lion, the icon size slider on the bottom right of a folder containining photos doesn't have any effect on the size of the icons. It seems to work on and off, but I can't figure out what "settings" I am missing.
Does anyone have a clue why the slider works sometimes, and sometimes doesnt?

I reported this back in February and then again last night. My call was escalated to a specialist who connected remotely to my desktop to see the behavior since none of their computers were having that issue. After seeing the slider not working on my machine, he suggested that I create a temporary partition and install a fresh copy of Lion and see if the issue persists. After installing a fresh copy of Lion, I was still having the slider issue and reported back to the specialist via e-mail. I will know more when I hear back from the person tomorrow.
Also, there is another issue with Lion that people haven't mentioned but the Quick Look feature doesn't work all the time. Files wouldn't render and bringing up Quick Look the 2nd time on the same file does render correctly but then if you use the arrow keys to move between other files, the Quick Look doesn't update with the new file that is selected. Additionally, PDF files with multiple pages also doesn't render or it will render the 1st page but the other pades remain blank with the circular loading icon on them.

Icon size slider missing in standard folders

Is there any way to enable the missing Icon size slider in all folders? This slider is present on the Path Bar in Spotlight search folders (like Today) and VERY USABLE when you work with images. You can set a LARGE Icon Preview size temporarily (much larger compared to what view options window permits), select the image you need than set it back to smaller one. But only in spotligh. Is there any solution for this problem?

Desktop icons change size when I move the cursor

Intermittently, when I move the cursor with my trackpad, the desktop icons change size—minimize going from 44 to 16 icon size. This happens with the Finder in the foreground or background.
I think there's a fix, but I cannot find it.
All help appreciated,
Bill

Press Command-Option-8. Someone apparently turned on Zoom. (See System Preferences > Universal Access and click the Options button next to Zoom for more information.)

Quick Look icon doesn't appear in Finder window?

I've just installed Leopard, and have just read in the manual about Quick Look. Quick Look shows up in the drop-down File menu if I highlight a file or document, but it doesn't show up where it's supposed to in the Finder window, as an eyeball icon. I'm sure there's some obvious fix: can anyone explain what I have to do to get the icon to show up in Finder?
Much obliged.

the easiest way to quicklook a file is select the file and hit the space bar. but if you want to call it from the toolbar the icon should be tere too. if it isn't, go to view menu->customize toolbar and drag the "eye" icon to the toolbar.

Is there a way to make the Toolbar Icons small size?

There is an option in almost every app to make the tool bar icons small size. My suppress is this is not the case with AP3.
Hard to believe.

nope.
all versions prior to a3 had it but for some reason they removed this option with aperture 3.

I can no longer view my photos through th photo icon. There is not an icon on my "slide to unlock" screen that when touched starts a slide show of my photos. How do I turn that off so I can access my photos as before?

Oroilore-
I do not see a way to disable the Picture Frame icon. I looked at Settings-Picture Frame, but none of the options turns it off. The only way I can thinik of, would be if all of your photos had been deleted. If there were no photos, you couldn't have a slide show!
One thing to try is to reset (reboot) your iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

External hard drive connected and running time machine backups but icon not showing up in finder

My external hard drive has been connected for a couple of years and is using time machine perfectly. i am trying to save my iphoto library on the external drive but the icon is not displayed in finder. Only time machine icon is displayed......thanks for your help!

Did you create a second partition for your iPhoto Library or did you just use the same single partition that TimeMachine is on?

Image Size Slider? better in iP5?

In iPhoto 5 the image size slider on the lower right of iPhoto worked really well. I could scroll from a lot of previews up to 9 in 3 columns, 4 pics in 2 colums, 2 pics in one column, and 1 fullsize pic.
The iPhoto 6 slider seems not to be that good. on my version it jumps from about 12 preview pics to 1. With nothing inbetween. Is there anyway I can change that back? Is this behaviour normal?
thanks,
stefan.

Squigles:
When you use the scroll wheel on the mighty mouse, to move up and down through your photo collection, it's not fluid it's gone all jumpy and buggy.
Go into iPhoto's preferences and turn off animated scrolling in the Appearance pane. That may be what you're seeing.
EDIT:Nope, that only affects the scrolling when you click on the scroll column at the right. I'm using a Pilotmouse Optical with a scroll wheel so may be getting different responses to the scroll wheel than you are. My scrolls are smooth.

4GB File Size Limit in Finder for Windows/Samba Shares?

I am unable to copy a 4.75GB video file from my Mac Pro to a network drive with XFS file system using the Finder. Files under 4GB can be dragged and dropped without problems. The drag and drop method produces an "unexepcted error" (code 0) message.
I went into Terminal and used the cp command to successfully copy the 4.75GB file to the NAS drive, so obviously there's a 4GB file size limit that Finder is opposing?
I was also able to use Quicktime and save a copy of the file to the network drive, so applications have no problem, either.
XFS file system supports terabyte size files, so this shouldn't be a problem on the receiving end, and it's not, as the terminal copy worked.
Why would they do that? Is there a setting I can use to override this? Google searching found some flags to use with the mount command in Linux terminal to work around this, but I'd rather just be able to use the GUI in OS X (10.5.1) - I mean, that's why we like Macs, right?

I have frequently worked with 8 to 10 gigabyte capture files in both OS9 and OS X so any limit does not seem to be in QT or in the Player. 2 GIg limits would perhaps be something left over from pre-OS 9 versions of your software, as there was a general 2 gig limit in those earlier versions of the operating system. I have also seen people refer to 2 gig limits in QT for Windows but never in OS 9 or later MacOS.
