Is there a way to have all folders and files line up all the time by default?

I was wondering if there was a way to get all files and folders on the desktop and within locations like Downloads and Documents to automatically align to grid by default without user intervention.
If so, how can I do this?
Thanks!

Mario's post explains, how to arrange in colums in Finder windows.
You can use the same method to arrange the items on the Desktop:
Click on the empty Desktop to select it and to bring the Finder forward, press the key combination ⌘J.
Select "Snap to Grid" and set the spacing and icon size.
Select an option how you want to sort them, e.g. by kind.

Is there a way to have bookmark folders automatically collapsed in Safari when adding bookmarks? This would be a huge convenience in navigating to the right folder w/o having to deal with an eye chart of a folder tree.

Myself as well...
I think it is a tremendous problem. Im my case it is extremelly important to manage, organize and sort favorites.
I am new to Mac and safari... and I spent a lot of time researching a solution for that thinking it was me that couldnt find this option. I like to use safari because of the "gestures". This is great. But when it comes to favorites, safari is a nightmare!!!
Also, I use to like the option in Firefox that we can have the leftside bar with the favorites and navigate to the links in the right. In safari the links are open in the full page. And then we need to come back to the favorite everytime.
I would be glad if someone could come out with good solution or suggestions how to deal with it in fafari.

no. you either have to save to all 3 places by hand or use some sort of syncing software like chronosync to sync between folders you are saving to.

Is there a way in an unstructered Frame11.0 file to change all anchored frames in the file to a specific size at the same time?

Rog,
This is perfect use case for ExtendScript. You could easily iterate over all anchored frames and resize them. You would probably want to resize the contents as well, though, which would add a few extra lines of code.

Is there a way to have parallax scrolling and a changing slideshow? (so the slideshow looks still and it looks like you scroll your content over it again)

You can apply opacity to images or define key position for slideshow so that with page scroll the opacity changes and will bring the similar effect.

Is there a way to have my folders stored on my server instead of my desktop?

My server has multiple backup options whereas my workstation desktop does not. I would like to keep my folders on the server and not on my local drive. Is this possible? If not, can I keep Thunderbird on my sever and have more than one person logged into it at one time, each with their own set of folders and account?

You can move your profile to a different machine, but you need to make it available for Thunderbird, e.g. via a network share or network mount, depending on your OS.

Is there a way to have photos apper with most recent first on the camera ios 8' iphone 6

IS there a way to set my photos in ascending order rather than decending in my camera? I want the most recent first. Ios 8 iphone 6

I just noticed this tonight! I'm kicking myself for updating iTunes! I have well over 30.000 photos and now they are all out of order.
I upgraded to 10.6.3.25 and all the photos are sorted by date now and none of the sub-folders are recognized.
This has happened before and it took them over a year to fix it. I wish they would give us a preference as to how we want our images displayed. The whole photo cache thing is so ridiculous! Mine is up to 11GB right now.

Is there a way to have a link from an external page show the top of the page on a PC?

I really appreciate the help in these forums - have solved many an issue. Am down to the last little thing.
If you test the links on : www.muohio.edu/lll/tabbed-test on a Mac, each time you chose a link it goes to the top of the page. This is the desired location.
If you test the links on a PC, either with firefox or IE it uses the tabbed panel as the top.
Is there a way to control this?
THANKS!
Berly

In your document you have got <div id="TabbedPanels1" class="TabbedPanels"> and in the link you have got <li><a href="fla.html?tab=1#TabbedPanels1">Crisis Management</a></li>
What some browsers will do when it sees the #TabbedPanels1 is take you to the spot which is down the page.
Solution: remove #TabbedPanels1 from the link and all is well.

Is there a way to have updates download and install automaticly

Hello All,
I have a network with about 300 computers, 5 of which are Macs. With the recent security issues, and frequent updates, is there a way to set things up so that updates will download and install without any user intervention? Say maybe at 1am? I dont know if this is something you could do with automator.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Chris

For 5 Mac's, likely it would be better to do it manually, you also get the benefit of waiting for the all clear first.
Apple has been known ot roll out updates that break third party software, anti-virus etc.
Take for instance 10.6.8, seemed harmless, but these boards were flooded with people who's third party Rosetta based software broke, it cost businesses a lot of money in downtime.
Another is firmware updates, three in a row that were bricking Mac's logicboards.
So automatic updates isn't quite the best course of action, and with 5 machines, it's likely better to roll out to one, then another, then the rest jsut to make sure they all don't go down at once, especially with a small number.
Usually you can get the users of those 5 Mac's to update themselves, pick a leader out of the group to coordinate with, they are pretty happy having Mac's and likely to comply when you give the all clear sign.

Is there a way toeither have 2 bookmark toolbars [BT] displayed or resize the one [BT] to show more bookmarks?

I use quite a few different boookmarks quite regularly. I would like to display more bookmarks on my bookmark toolbar instead of having to use the drop down meny to the right at the end of the toolbar.
IS there any way to do this by either resizeing the toolbar like windows taskbar does or adding multiple bookmark toolbars?

You may shorten names so that more bookmarks fit, or nest folders so that they are themselves drop downs of bookmarks or of other folders. There is an add on that doubles the bookmarks toolbar I believe.
Also if you use newer versions of Firefox there are [[what are app tabs?|app tabs]] and [[what are tab groups?|tab groups]].
You probably are not even on the latest version of 3.6 and should consider updating, preferably to the latest release which will be Firefox 8 !

Is there a way to have an iPad run only 1 app at a time?

I am a tech support person and teachers are asking me if we can have a students iPad run only one app at a time. For instance, a group of students in biology would be allowed to run only the app for their biology book.
Students have gotten so distracted during classtime with iMessage, web browsing, videos and games that it becomes virtually impossible to keep them on task in the classroom.
I am aware of adding profiles to the devices, but this profile would only be for the biology class. It would then have to be removed or deactivated upon leaving the class.

You can restrict iPads running iOS 6 to a single app via Guided Access:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5509
but that requires reconfiguration of the iPads whenever you want to set it up or deactivate or change it. There may be a mobile device management (MDM) system that would allow you to push out such changes "on the fly" but I can't say with certainty. Someone else here or in the iPad in the Enterprise forum may know.
Otherwise it may be necessary to implement an administrative solution such as banning use of iPads in class or enforcing consequences should a student be using the iPad for inappropriate functions.
Regards.
