Issues with Finder - window 'view type' not sticking, picture backgrounds

Since my upgrade from Snow Leopard, I've noticed a few minor problems with the Finder in Lion.
Can anyone confirm if these are known bugs in Lion?
1. At random, certain folders will not remember their view type anymore. Some do, some don't. Logging in as root and changing them there has fixed some, but others keep reverting back to a "default". It happens at any point while I am using the system, even without logging out or restarting. I've changed folder view types and come back 10 minutes later and they've changed on me! I used to have this problem with Tiger and Leopard, but not Snow Leopard. Seems it's back with Lion 10.7.0.
2. Under Snow Leopard I had various JPG and PNG photos used as backgrounds for various folders in icon view. Under Lion, almost all of these backgrounds now only occupy one small corner of the window. They are not being displayed at their full size. The fact that they worked in Snow Leopard indicates there are no problems with the photos themselves.
3. Various problems with grid layout in icon view. Dragging an icon to it's proper position in the grid will often not "stick". i.e. I line it up perfectly with the grid yet the icon goes flying off half way across the screen to another position. The Finder seems a lot less forgiving than Snow Leopard in this regard.
Since everything was runing perfectly for me in Snow Leopard I assume these are bugs that will hopefully be ironed out in future system updates.

  • PowerBook 17"  window views do not stick.

    For several years I've set window view from Finder > View to List view then went on to view option and chose set for all windows. It stuck. The I installed three pieces of software. Two I have since removed.
    PocketMac for a Blackberry 8330 Phone sold from Alltel
    Missing Sync for Blackberry (purchased)
    Then the latest Quicktime 7.6 update through system updater.
    Now ever time I start, restart, or Logout/Login some (but not all) folders revert to icon view, unsorted and uncleaned up.
    I've removed pocket Mac and Missing sync.
    can't revert to 7.5.x to much to deal with.
    I've reset PRAM. by option command P&R and by removing battery unplugging power, opening holding power switch down.
    To check for a bad Pram battery I've removed power, removed regular Battery and let it set for 20 minutes. then replace battery, and power. everything sticks.
    I'm at wits end.

    I think I have a bad PRAM Battery.
    Here's what I did.
    Today I had to go out of house for few hour.
    I went to date and time and checked item to set date time automatically.
    So I: removed Battery (regular Battery)
    unplugged the Power Supply.
    went out for the few hours.
    Came Back while battery still out I opened lid held down power button for 6 seconds.
    Closed lid
    Replaced Battery
    Started up computer.
    Copter said after booting up date set to time before ... Some application may not work correctly.
    I had done this before but had not unchecked automatically set date and time.
    What get me is that on my G4-500 sing OSX.3.9 when PRAM battery went dead I had to set the Location and the date style and Currency style as well.
    On this the only, date and time appears outwardly.
    I supposed the windows positions are affected by battery.
    Going to be a PIA to have the Battery Changed went FixIt site and they had 6 pages of instruction on just how to get to Battery. Believe it will be cheaper for me to have it done, although That's what I use to do for a living. Opinion?

  • I have an issue with Finder. It does not respond

    Finder does not respond if I click on the icon. I have to open Finder via a right mouse click and clicking 'Open New Finder window'

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Captivate 5.5 Question: We seem to be having an issue with the screen capture piece not recording "e

    Captivate 5.5 Question: We seem to be having an issue with the screen capture piece not recording "everything".
    We're running 5.5 as an administrator on Windows 7 and my co-worker is trying to capture a webinar (GoToMeeting) with Captivate and it is not recording anything in the GTM window, except the last slide. Anyone have this problem or know a fix? Not much is mentioned in the Adobe forums.

    Captivate simply doesn't 'hear' some screen events on certain applications and you just need to resort to doing manual captures at these points.
    I usually set up my manual capture button to be F2 so that I can hit it with my left hand while my right hand is on the mouse navigating through the task.

  • Performance issue with a Custom view

    Hi ,
    I am pretty new to performance tuning and facing a performance issue with a custom view.
    Execution time for view query is good but as soon as I append a where caluse to view query ,the execution time increases.
    Below is the view query:
    CREATE OR REPLACE XXX_INFO_VIEW AS
    SELECT csb.system_id license_id,

    I have forced an index to avoid Full table scan on OKC_K_LINES_TL and suppressed an index on CSI_item_instances.instance id to make the view query fast.
    So when i do select * from XXX_INFO_VIEWit executes in a decent time,But when I try to do
    select * from XXX_INFO_VIEW where active_supp_flag='Y' and coverage_type='1'
    it takes lot of time.

    Hi,
    You should always try using primary index fields, if not possible then secondary index fields.
    Even if you cannot do anything from either of the two then try this,
    Use Less distinct fields on the top.
    In your case , you can use bukrs ,gjahr ,werks on the top in the where condition..then followed by less distinct values..
    Even when you use secondary index if you have 4 fields in your sec index and you are using only two fields from the top then the index is useful only upto that two fields provided they are in sequence.

  • Issues with Finder - reinstalling Leopard???

    Hi,
    I'm having some issues with Finder. Sometimes, when I restart the computer, it takes a long time to start Finder. Besides that, every time I want to eject my Time Machine external HD, I need to relaunch Finder. If I don't relaunch it, it never ejects the TM HD.
    Would you recommend reinstalling Leopard, but using the feature to erase everything? When I installed it, I didn't use that feature because I wanted my files/previous programs the way they were before. With a new installation (erasing everything), I'd have to install and configure so many things again and I didn't want that. But now, because of the issues with Finder, I'm thinking about reinstalling Leopard.
    Any suggestions?
    Cheers,
    Mike

    Before you do anything drastic, repost your question in the Finder/Dock forum.
    No, I am not being sarcastic - but you might find that it's a common problem and others over in that forum have a solution or else it might simply be an "issue" that a reinstall will not fix.
    It would be annoying if you reinstalled Leopard and it didn't install properly.
    Until you are sure about the Finder "issue" leave it alone for now.
    Here's the Finder/Dock forum location:

  • Issues with Finder - reinstall Leopard???

    Hi,
    I'm having some issues with Finder. Sometimes, when I restart the computer, it takes a long time to start Finder. Besides that, every time I want to eject my Time Machine external HD, I need to relaunch Finder. If I don't relaunch it, it never ejects the TM HD.
    Would you recommend reinstalling Leopard, but using the feature to erase everything? When I installed it, I didn't use that feature because I wanted my files/previous programs the way they were before. With a new installation (erasing everything), I'd have to install and configure so many things again and I didn't want that. But now, because of the issues with Finder, I'm thinking about reinstalling Leopard.
    Any suggestions?
    Cheers,
    Mike

    Besides that, every time I want to eject my Time Machine external HD, I need to relaunch Finder.
    I haven't used Time Machine, but I wonder if you can temporarily turn it off so you can dismount your external hard drive. Note while your external hard drive that Time Machine is dependent on is not connected, anything you do will not appear on Time Machine, since it is reliant on that external hard drive for source information. The only question I would have, is if you remounted the hard drive is whether Time Machine would be able to recognize what it has backed up to it already?
    Reinstalling Leopard shouldn't be necessary. I would also try to see if you are running low on disk space. Tell us how much space you have free on both internal and external drive out of how much space total?

Recently I went to windows 7 to do a system upgrade but failed and was told to update the bootcamp drivers. I installed boot camp5 but seem to be the wrong version and change to boot camp 4 which was updated okay. However I still cannot do the updates. Can someone advice me please? Thank you!

    Please see Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support for the appropriate version of drivers related to the specific version of Windows 7.

    If there is Warranty or AppleCare make Genius reservation or set up Service and take or send to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, use virtual Lock Button, tap Settings App > General > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock Screen. This can even turn OFF iPhone. To turn ON, connect iPhone to power, charger or USB of computer.

  • How to resolve the issue with Finder: "The last time you opened finder, it unexpectedly quit when reopening Windows"

    For anyone who is struggling with this issue that simply will not go away, please try:
    1. Fist turn off the mac
    2. Turn on the mac while holding the shift key (safe mode)
    3. Once all logged in click on Finder at the bottom of your screen
    4. Click on Go 5 steps to the right of the Apple logo
    5. Hold the Alt key and click on Library
    6. Open the Preferences folder
    7. Drag 'com.apple.Finder.plist' to yourDesktop
    7. Restart the mac
    That should hopefully resolve it, if not place the plist file on your Desktop back to its original location. Thank you!

    Do a backup.
    Quit the application.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

  • Issues with finder going out of sync with file images in cover flow.

    Hi All,
    I'm having issues with files going out of sync with images in cover flow since updating to Mavericks. Typically, if I had for example 10 pictures listed as 1 to 10, if i deleted images 6&7 the images remain in coverflow but the file listings are removed, then if i click on image 7 the file listing of image 8 is highlighted, then to make matters worse, if i click on the file listing for image 9 in shows image 8 in cover flow. To stop this I have to shut down finder and restart it, then the whole thing repeats itself if i delete more images. Its a nightmare when your working with 50 plus images at a time!!! Help!!
    Thanks all.

    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Preferences/. Move the .plists to your desktop.
    Re-launch Finder by loggin out/in and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the same, return the .plist to where you got it  from, overwriting the newer ones.

    You might need to redo the View settings after an update.
    If you look at the 'More Like This' box (top right) it seems the Cover Flow view is having problems.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Finder window tab status not preserved

    OK, so Apple is going with Finder tabs.
    However, after reorganizing my desktop, and making use of tabs to "replace" the desktop with one large Finder window, I find that tabs are not preserved between sessions!!!
