While in Finder, select the file (click on its icon once) then press the Spacebar.

  • Hello, I am running Mac OS X 10.9.3. Someone has been pestering me with unwanted e-mail. There used to be a feature that allowed one to "bounce" unwanted mail back to the sender, a message saying they have reached a wrong address. How do I do that now? TY

    It is not available in Mail any longer (for quite a while, now).
    You can add a rule to have Mail mark them as junk, or you could possibly log onto your Email provider's web site and block that address.

  • Quick Look for files without extensions.

    I have many files without extensions that quick look does not recognize as text files. Bash shell scripts generally do not use an extension, for example (they are identified by their first line). Similarly I have a lot of text file notes w/o a ".txt" extensions.
    Is there any way to have quick look recognize these as text files? They currently have either text edit or textmate as their default "open with" app. I presume there is a config file of some sort for quick look that will let me default files with no extension to text files, but have not found it yet.

    Hello,
    I have paid for this service for a year and it never worked on my computer.  I just renewed and it finally converted the file but it will not let me edit it.  I join you in being bummed.  Either I get help with this or I am asking for a 2 year refund.   My intention was to be able to edit a pdf in MS Word.

  • Is there an iPad app for photos that allows you to see them organized by labeling as 1, 2, 3 etc or a, b, c etc in the order you wish instead of by date taken? Thanks.

    Is there an iPad app suitable for iPad mini that allows you to order your photos by 1,2,3, etc or a, b, b, in the title rather than ordering by date taken? This would keep them in a sequence you want instead of displaying randomly. Thanks.

    1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
    Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
    2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
    3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
    4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
    5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
    6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

  • I have just purchased an iMAC. O/S is Lion. I just cannot access the files in my Microsoft network drive which my  macpro snow leopard has no problem. Looks like it is just the Lion O/S has the problem.  The file I needed to access are my photo files.

    I have an iMAC running Lion cannot access my Microsoft Network drive.  It sees it on Finder but said connection failed.  By other Macpro Laptop which run Leopard has no problem at all. It lreads and load my photos from the RAID Drive. I am sure some asked the question before but it is new to me. That was the reason I am not upgrading my Macpro to Lion yet.  was it a bug in Lion networking area?
    Thanks for the help !

    You need to move to Windows 7, because Apple is now releasing a new OS X version annually and it's playing havoc with people's hardware and software.
    Windows 7 will get support until 2020, that's 8 years of software stability, however you do need to make System Restore disks, boot disk and another on a hard drive to self restore (like TimeMachine is for OS X)
    Apple has no plans to change their currrent behavior as all they care about is selling new hardware with a shiny new OS X verison on it.
    If you wait to move, what will happen is you'll lose that full 8 years and will have to swtich to a newer Windows sooner
    Windows 7 machines are still widely avaialble, despite Windows 8 (a failure) being pushed currently.
    Running three OS X operating systems on one machine is quite a chore reserved for only seasoned computer geeks, then it's only going to last X months as the next OS X version will be released, then the next a year after that.
    Another method would be to get a virtual machine software (virtualbox is free) and install Windows 7 into that to ease your transitition if you cant' spring for a Windows 7 machine, preferablly a tower that will last a long time.
    Here is a method to run Snow Leopard in Parallels, however it's a unapproced hack and not for the comptuer newbie.

    We have no control over Apple's OS X release cycle, nor the third party developers who make their own decisions what to support.
    Our only choice as users to stop using both products and seek software/hardware stability.

  • There was a button that allowed you to search and dowmload MP3 from the tool bar it is no longer there it wasn't a youtube plugin do you have a suggestion?

    It wasn't a youtube plugin do you have a suggestion for a replacement? It worked directly from the toolbar.

    Did you lose a bunch of add-ons? That could happen if you used Firefox's Refresh feature. This could occur when Firefox reports that it is running slowly and you can speed it up by restoring default settings. And then an Old Firefox Data folder appears on your desktop. Do you see anything like that?
    It's not very straightforward researching old add-ons in the Old Firefox Data folder, but it's possible.
    Before diving into that, if relevant, I notice you have numerous RealDownloader plugins. Can you check whether they are fully enabled? You can do that on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Plugins. For RealDownloader plugins that seem relevant to Firefox, change their permission to "Always Activate" if they are set to "Ask to Activate". For those that do NOT seem relevant to Firefox (Chrome and PepperFlash), I would set those to "Never Activate".
    These kinds of changes often do not take effect in the same window. Try opening a new window (Ctrl+n) and visiting a site where RealDownloader is supposed to activate to see whether it does.

    It's A1549 model. Yeah i knew this is US version before i buy this. What i'm confusing now do u think this iphone i bought is a brand new one and why there is a sim card already inside the simcard slot? Even its working smoothly using a network in UAE. Some of my friends bought there US version of iphone but they bought it without simcard inside the sim card slot.

  • Hi, I have Mac with Snow Leopard and was trying to purchase Lion , so I can move to I cloud, when trying to buy the app I get a message that a minimum 2gb of memory is required. I went check the hard disck info and it says available memory 20gb :-(

    Apple Logo, left hand side of the menu bar, About this Mac. It should be right there. If not then More Info, Sys Info.
    But it would seem you don't have 2GBs installed and more then likely both RAM slots are already filed. So you just need to buy more RAM in a pair. That could be 2 1GBs chips or if your Mac can have more then that then 2 2 GB chips or 2 4GB chips.
    Get your model # and go to Crucial.com and use their memory search to find out how much your Mac can have installed and the price for it. I suggest you install as much as it can take. Cost is very low on RAM these days.

  • HT204053 I had Snow Leopard and was using iWeb and Filezilla for my website (not MobileMe). Wanting to move to single-click publishing, I now find it is not supported by iCloud and Mountain Lion. I feel cheated, having bought it mainly for this purpose!

Wanting to move to single-click publishing (supported by MobileMe), I now find it is not supported by iCloud and Mountain Lion. I feel cheated, having bought it mainly for this purpose! The other thing they don't tell you is that Mountain Lion disables OfficeMac, and I am considering uninstalling it for that reason - do I get my money back?!

    You stated; "Mountain Lion disables OfficeMac"
    That is not true.
    Mountain Lion does not have Rosetta so it is not capable of executing PowerPC code. If you have MS Office 2004 that is coded in PowerPC code and will not run in Mountain Lion. What you need to do is upgrade to an Intel version of Office.

  • I have upgraded my software to OS X Snow Leopard. Now I want to update that to Lion. How do I do that? When I look at the Lion software available for download on the apple site it all seems to be update software for people already a version of Lion.

    It has to be 10.6.8 I believe, before you can upgrade to Lion. I found some more info, please check out: http://www.informationweek.com/byte/howto/personal-tech/desktop-os/231001728
    Be sure all your programms will work on Lion. Power PC programms do not work anymore (eg Nikon Scan 4 will not work from now on on Mac OS X). Some versions of Canon utilities for camera's do not work, Canon still have to upgrade. For an App Compatibility Table: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

  • Quick look D800 files

    Hi everyone, I still own a MBP running 10.6.8 and I recently used a Nikon D800. The problem I now have is that I can get a quick look of my images using the space bar. Looking at different posts on similar problems I'm not sure what I now have to do to be able to see a thumbnail image of my D800 files. I know the problem probably come from my camera raw version installed on my MBP, I tried to find the 3.11 version that was released after D800 was put on the market but I couldn't find it. The only version I can find is 3.12 and higher but these versions won't install on my computer.  A message about iPhoto and Aperture being outdated shows up when I try to install.
    What are the options to get the quicklook feature and the thumbnail image to work with my D800 files?
    Where is version 3.11 and how do I install it even if iPhoto is not up to date. I only use Photoshop CS5.
    Will I have to upgrade to Mountain Lion to get the functions back and if I do, will CS5 still work?
    Thanks Serge

    Deleting the quicklook preferences file cleared the problem.

    Under Privilege Level, uncheck Run this program as an administrator
    check box.
