IPad folder name truncated even when opened?

Normally, I know that folder names with longer names are truncated to save space on the home screen. However, after 'opening' the folder by clicking on it, the name is still truncated even though there are more than enough room to show the full name. This only happens on my iPad, but not iPhone. Here are some screenshots to show what I mean:

Is this normal? Or is there any way to change the font size or character limit? Thanks!

A few discoveries I made this morning.
One is that disabling GPGMail seems to solve the problem, or at least significantly reduce its occurrence.
Another is that with GPGMail enabled, it seems to depend on how quickly one opens an email. I can't say for sure that this is a hard and fast rule, but messages staying unread seems to be more of a problem if you've just entered the folder or just been viewing another message and suddenly change to an unread one. It's as though GPGMail causes Mail to need some time to think things through.
A third is that if you have multiple mail accounts, a workaround to reset the unread count exists. If a mail folder in Account One is having problems, you can switch to a folder in Account Two, possibly wait an interval of time (not sure what that interval would be), then switch back to your original Account One folder. That seems to force a refresh of the unread count, without needing a folder rebuild (with consequent loss of expanded threads, etc).
However, for the time being, I've just disabled GPGMail. I can re-enable it as needed, by the looks of it, and it's not as though I've really needed to use it yet.
I could wish, though, that Apple offered proper GPG support, or at least that they made enough of their API available that third parties could do a proper job instead of an ugly and somewhat broken hack. (I've also seen complaints that Apple like to change their API without telling anyone, just to keep third-party developers on their toes =P.) I suppose another problem is lack of available time. Which I also suffer from, so I don't think a "real solution" is forthcoming from this quarter, at least.

    Using 6-7 year old software that's no longer receiving updates & was never designed to run on 10.10 is asking for trouble.   That said, try re-installing PS and installing Java SE6

  • I use an iPad 3 with IOS6. When opening the calendar and strolling to march 2013, calender always shuts down.

    I use an iPad 3 with IOS6. When opening the calendar and strolling to MARCH 2013 calender shuts down...
    Anybody with same problem or having a solution?

    Try removing any all-day events from the calendar for the 1st April 2013 e.g. if you are syncing the calendar from somewhere else (e.g. Outlook on a PC or iCal/Calendar on a Mac) then change it to a timed event instead of all-day - it seems that there is a problem with all day events on that date which is when the clocks change due to daylight saving.

  • Album Folder Names Truncated

    I am importing my Sounds Of The Seventies collection from CD. My issue arises when I import albums that have names greater than 40 characters, I get folder names like
    Sounds Of The Seventies - Punk and New W
    Sounds Of The Seventies - AM Pop Classic
    Classic Rock [Creedence Clearwater Reviv
    Now, that's ok if I don't have any other albums that have the same 1st 40 characters I guess, although it's annoying that the folder doesn't have the full name.
    The big problem is when I have albums lik
    Sounds Of The Seventies - AM Pop Classics I
    Sounds Of The Seventies - AM Pop Classics II
    They both go into the same truncated folder Sounds Of The Seventies - AM Pop Classic. Renaming the folder after import and trying to add them via Add File doesn't work either.
    I wouldn't even mind if I could create a Sounds Of The Seventies as the Artist, and not mark it as a compilation, and put the shortened album titles underneath
    Any ideas?

    Check the option to Keep iTunes Media organized under Edit > Preferences > Advanced.  The Copy files to iTunes Media folder option should also be checked if you want to make sure that all media is stored under the iTunes Media folders.

  • Games won't open, keep getting message that it can't connect to Games Center even when opened thru same; reset and reboot not help; any suggestions?

    I keep getting messages that the games cannot connect to the game center.  Even when I try to open using the "play" incon in the Game Center, I get the same message.  The message refuses to do anything when I press either "cancel" or "retry,", it just sits there and the game won't open when it appears.
    I have tried resetting the IPad, turning it off/on; re-syncing, etc., and nothing seems to work.   Can any one suggest a way to get the stupid Game Center message to close or some other method to open the game?
    Thanks.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

  • Missing fonts in InDesign CS4 - even when 'open' in Suitcase Fusion 3

    Hi all, I'm running InDesign CS4 on a Intel Mac Pro (tower), about 4 years old, running OSX Snow Leopard (all updates applied).
    Using Suitcase Fusion V3 for font management.
    I have a document that previously had no font issues at all.  Now when I open it InDesign throws up a 'Missing font' error.
    I have the correct fonts installed and 'open' in Suitcase Fusion.
    The font is available in Simpletext and Pages, but not InDesign and Illustrator.
    The troublesome font was OK the other day and has been since it was installed. 
    I've not changed anything that I'm aware of... but now InDesign won't 'see' the font.
    In the 'Find Font' dialogue box the 'Path' says it's 'Unkown or missing'.
    InDesign can see the other weights in the font family (bold, italic etc) but not regular.  And yet the entire font family is in the same folder on my hard drive.
    I've tried deleting all the' Adobe.lst' files.  No Joy.
    I've run Font Doctor on the whole font family, its says it's OK.
    I've tried re-installing the font from a back-up.  Nada.
    If anyone has any suggestions..... feel free to let rip!
    As ever, I await your expertise and unstinting knowledge in these matters   And, needless to say, I'll be mighty appreciative for it!
    RP

    Hi Bob, strangely... I've put the troublesome font, Dax (T1) Regular, in the Applications/Adobe InDesign CS4/Fonts folder and it seems to be working.
    Never had to do that before.
    Would be great to get back to 'normal'.  If possible.
    Although I have many duplicates spread across back-up drives and collected artwork folders, I've also tried to eliminate any duplicate 'open' versions.  But the above solution is the only one that works at the moment.
    RP
    p.s. I also tried removing any AdobeFNT**.lst files, (where ** is a number) before the above work around.  That didn't work either.

  • Emails saved in my DRAFT folder freeze my screen when opened

    Neither the SEND nor the CANCEL button activate so the whole email system is frozen.  

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Server and mailbox name check popup when opening Outlook connecting to Exchange 2010

    Everytime our users open Outlook 2007 or 2010
    this box pops up asking to verify the Microsoft Exchange server name and mailbox name. The user's information is automatically filled in and clicking ok makes the box go away but it will eventually pop up again or when outlook is closed and re-opened. 
    When "cached mode" is disabled the problem goes away (but "cached mode" is necessary for our users).
    The problem began when we deleted an old Exchange 2003 server (we are now using only Exchange Server 2010). 
    Outlook user's profile has been recreated : does not fix.  Users having that problem with Outlook 2010 dot not experience it with the OWA interface.
    How to fix that problem ?

  • Specify author name for annotations when opening Adobe Reader

    Hi !
    I need to specify the author name (for annotations) programatically each time I open Adobe Reader from my application. Is that possible and if yes, how ?
    Here is how I open Adobe Reader in my application :
    try {
      Intent intent = new Intent();
      intent.setClassName("com.adobe.reader", "com.adobe.reader.AdobeReader");
      intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
      intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(doc), "application/pdf");
      startActivity(intent);
    catch (ActivityNotFoundException activityNotFoundException) {
      activityNotFoundException.printStackTrace();
    If not possible, where does Adobe Reader stores its parameters ? Maybe I can change them before opening it ?
    Thanks in advance for your help !
    Zab

    The application I'm developping needs to be able to allow its users to open existing pdf files and annotate them with the username they've given when logging into the application. Unfortunately, I've not found any satisfying library to edit existing pdf files on Android nor in AIR for Android. I'm thus trying to call Adobe Reader from my application (this I can do) and set the author name for annotations...
    I've found that Adobe Reader stores the author name in /data/data/com.adobe.reader/shared_prefs/com.adobe.reader.preferences.xml
    Knowing that my application will run on rooted Android tabs, do you think it would be posssible to modify this file each time before launching Adobe Reader from my application (could be a dirty workaround but still a workaround) ?

  • Prompt for user name and password when opening an application like Internet Explorer

    Hi
    I often use Internet Explorer using "Run as different user".  This is achieved by holding 'Shift' and right clicking the IE icon.  This is the main reason why I use IE as my default browser is Chrome.  Signing in as a different user
    is helpful when troubleshooting/customising certain applications such as Dynamics CRM.
    Is there away to force IE to always ask for credentials when I open it?  
    Marc Collins www.QGate.co.uk

    Hi GTS-NJ
    This was my first thought.  The problem I found is it requires a particular user.  I need to be flexible with the users I sign in with.
    I may have the answer though.  I have changed the security settings for trusted sites to always prompt for username and password.  I have added my sites to trusted sites.  Now when I browse to the site, it prompts me to sign in.
