Icons not arranged

When I start up my G4 OS 10.3.9 my Macintosh HD icons are all mixed-up even if I've checked "keep arrranged by name" in view options. How can I fix this?

Welcome To Discussions tnsteve7!
Positioning Desktop icons, too close to the edge of the screen, will cause them to reposition themselves on restart.
Positioning them too close to each other, will cause this as well.
Depending on how many you have displayed, and the size of your screen, the Size of the icons, as well as the Text size & Label position can also factor in. Experiment with these settings.
My Desktop icons do not reposition themselves, and this is how I have my Desktop View Options set.
Icon size: 32 x 32
Text size: 12 pt
Label position: Bottom
I have none of the following options selected.
Snap to grid
Show item info
Show icon preview
Keep arranged by
A different configuration may work for you. Experiment with the options until you find something suitable.
Click on an open area of your Desktop.
From the Finder's Toolbar, position your cursor over "View" and pull down to "Show View Options", and click. Or use the Command + J keys.
Good Luck!

    Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there.

  • How do I send photos as jpg icons not embedded in the email?

    Hi was wondering how I would send a photo as a jpg icon and have it show up as the same icon, not the actual photo embedded in the email?

    You can Command (right) - click  on the photo in the email and select View as Icon in the contextual menu.
    Set the format as plain text as select Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments in the Edit ➙ Attachments menu.
    It will display as an icon in the outgoing email.  However, no matter you do it will depend on how the receiving email client is configured as to how the photo will be presented at that end.

  • Over / Down Icons not in exported folder

    Over / Down Icons not in exported folder.
    I've created some action buttons, and when a user hovers over it turns blue, and when they click it turns red. The png files I used for this I put into a folder called "IMG" (configuratorname.assets/IMG/blue-50-26.png). This folder is located in the .assets directory that configurator created when I saved the .gpc file. When I export the panel, the custom png files (red & blue) aren't exported into the content folder. How do I get it to export the custom icon png files ? Also, do I have to use a custom path in the the Over Icon and Down Icon fields. Here is what is in there now "Locales/IMG/blue-50-26.png", I think somewhere I read that I need to use a ".." at the beginning so it's a relative reference, not absolute ? My goal is for this panel to work on various machines, and all the needed componets are locally resident and pointed to within the content folder.
    Thanks ahead of time for your help.
    One last question, should the png file that I'm using as a custom color for the buttons when clicked be the exact dimension of the button, or will it scale the png file ?

    In your case, the png files will not be export to content folder, these files will be exported to content/Configurator-Panel.assets/IMG/.
    You can not use ".." to set the path of icon pictures. The root directory for icon picture is configuratorname.assets/. The value for icon picture path are relative to this root directory. After exporting, the pictures will be exported to content/configuratorname.assets/.
    The png file be scale to fill the dimension of the button. We strongly suggest that you set the png file and the button in same size. If the size of png file is lager, it should be in same ratio with the size of the button.

  • ITunes library not arranging songs in order

    Hi, I was wondering, on my PC, iTunes is not arranging the songs in one particular album in the correct order. (ie. like in the track order on my actual CD.)
    I have tried adding them to the library again, I checked that all of the tracks have a number, and tried telling itunes that they are all one compilation.
    I have just run out of ways to try to fix this..
    Or is it just that iTunes isn't as good on PC?
    any help would be great!!

    I'm having the same issue.
    All of those tags you just mentioned are correct -
    artist is the correct artist for each track
    album artist is the same for all tracks
    album is the same for each track from each album
    track is correct on every track, none of them have an 'of x' set
    no disk numbers are set on any tracks
    all tracks are marked 'yes' for compilation
    yet the tracks still refuse to go into the correct order.
    I have several albums, all tagged as above, with the same 'album artist' as each other. Not only do they not sort by track number, but they won't even sort by album.
    I want them to be sorted by 'album artist', then by 'album', then by 'track number'. But if I sort by 'album artist', the next tag iTunes sorts them by is 'artist'. Which results in this ( http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l249/hengler/itunessort.jpg ) rather horrible mess of a sort-order. I've tried (repeatedly) removing and re-adding to my library, but it doesn't make a difference, and as far as I can see all of my tag data fields are correct.
    I also have one or two albums where almost everything's fine, but one or two tracks refuse to go into the right order. i.e. 'Juicebox' from First Impressions of Earth by The Strokes is the last track on the album. It doesn't matter what I do, or how many times I change track numbers, every other track will sort properly and they re-order themselves when I change the track number, apart from this one song which has to stay at the end. There's at least one other song which does that for me, also, though I can't remember which.
    Edit:
    Clicking the 'album' column to sort by 'album by artist' fixed this, for some reason. Not very intuitive at all. Although Juicebox is now insisting it's the first track on the album (I'm pretty sure it used to be the last, maybe I remember that wrongly. Either way, it's supposed to be track 2 but it refuses to accept that)

  • When i scyn photo from pc to iphone, by using cable and selecting iphone on ituens,the photo which stored in my ipone, i am unable to delete some photoand even can not arrange them according to my wish

    when I scyn photo from pc to iphone , by using cable and selecting iphone on itunes, the photo which stored in my iphone , i am unable to delete some photo from them and even can not arrange them accoring to my wish, please let me know what to do ?

    you can only delete the photos you take on the phone itself as in from camera roll
    sync mean syncronize as in make the 2 side the same if you could delete the photos syncronized to your iphone then the nature of what syncronize mean result in the logic step being deleting the photo on your computer too
    you get rid of the photo by sync with another dir/ sourse or by moving the photo out of the dir of the computer and then resync

  • Microsoft Office icons not installed after latest update

    Just updated OS X Yosemite to 10.10.1. Microsoft Office 2011 icons have not been installed on the dock and do not appear in 'applications'

    What do you mean by, they don't "appear in 'applications'?"
    Are the Office applications not in the Microsoft Office 2011 folder in Applications?
    Or, do the icons not show on those apps?

  • Install Data Services(DS) 4.0 on IPS4.0 SP2, DS icon not visible on CMC

    Hello,
    Here is the issue we are facing:          
    1. Installed IPS 4.0 SP2 on Server #1. Installed tomcat as well on the same server.
    2. Login to CMC to verify. It looks good.
    3. Installed DS 4.0 SP1 on Server #2.
    4. Use server#3 with MS SQL Server 2008 DB for creating CMC and DS Repos.
    5. Login to DS Designer successfully.
    6. Login to CMC.
    7. You should see a Data Services icon in the CMC.  BUT the Data Services (DS) icons not available
    When you install IPS4.0 and DS4.0 on the same server, it works fine. We have done this.
    I have been told that this is a IPS4.0/DS4.0 bug and that SAP is working on it. I haven't seen a solution anywhere for this yet. Has anyone faced this issue and what did was done to resolve this?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    Resolved it with SAP's help.
    We had to run DS 4.0 installer on the IPS (so that CMS is local) server
    and install the DS EIM APS + Management Console on the IPS box.
    I have attached the screen shot of the features to install.
    Thanks

  • So, I just purchased, apple TV and the latest Mountain Lion 10.8.5. I can mirror my IPad and Iphone with no problems, so why is the icon not showing up on my top bar like all the youtube tutorials?

    why is the airplay icon not appearing in the top bad like all the tutorial videos?

    I assume that you did not check before buying, if you had you would have seen that your Mac is too old for Airplay Mirroring to work:
    Supported Macs
    AirPlay Mirroring in OS X Mountain Lion takes advantage of the hardware video encoding capabilities of 2nd and 3rd Generation Intel Core processors. Hardware video encoding allows AirPlay Mirroring to efficiently deliver high frame rates while maintaining optimal system performance. The following Mac models have processors that support AirPlay Mirroring:
    iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
    Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
    MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
    And if you bought ML solely for that function you should remove it from your machine and get a refund.

  • Wirless icon not displaying, but says I am connected to network

    I am a new Iphone user, so I apologize is this a rookie questions. I believe I am connected to my house wireless connected as the name of my network is checked off when I go to settings and Wifi.
    My question is, though, why is my icon not displaying on the top left corner? It displays when I am connected at work and everywhere else I was able to connect. Is there something in my settings that I may have checked?
    And, does that mean I am not really connected wirelessly?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Thanks, all. So, I just rebooted and there was no change.
    Then, as SteveCWatkings recommended, I went into my settings page. I went into the properties page, and there isn't anything listed beside IP address, Subnet Mask, Router, DNS, etc. They are all empty...
    *UPDATE*
    Okay, something just happened. AS I WAS RESPONDING, I was clicking on each of the fields (IP address, Subnet, etc to see if I could enter information since they were empty. And,when I got to DNS, it allowed me to type something in. Not knowing what to enter, I clicked back and it took me back to the Settings page. So, I clicked on my network again and when I tapped my network, all the fields were filled in, and the icon appeared.
    So, now it appears to be connected. I don't know if it will remain connected, or if I had to tap something (DNS?) or if it was glitch, but it appears to be working now.
    Thanks a ton!
