Lion Finder "Find" command window, cannot resize columns

If I use the Finder's "Find.." command under the File menu, a window appears that allows me to enter my serach criteria.
However when I do so and a list of entries is presented, there appears to be no way to resize the columns!
Als, unlike a normal Finder window, it does not present you with column headings that you can sort on (yes, you can still access this level of control by going to "Show View Options".
Try it. I know that a normal Finder window allows you to do this, but not a "Find" window.
I have no idea why they use a different design style for the "Find" results window. The standard Finder list view window at least has the proper controls on it (ability to resize, ability to slect which column to sort upon, ability to slect sort order up or down, etc.)
Any ideas as to how to fix these problems?

David.
You'll need to select View>Arrange By>None to get the ability to adjust columne width.
You can also get at it by clicking the little gear icon in the tool bar.

Cannot resize columns in Coverflow in Finder

my mid 2009 MBP using ML will not let me resize columns in Finder when in coverflow view as i can when in list view. this is sort hard to manage and i'd like to fix it.
any ideas?
TIA

hi sb.
i may be mistaken here. i am trying to start working in ML on the laptop after getting things organized and maybe i am not understanding something.
does finder in ML open to some kind of "global" Finder Window that sometimes shows all files or is somehow different than the second finder window?
or - - er (testing here), i guess when you /first/ open Finder you see this bar that won't resize but if you actively then select something in the pane on the left or if you open a /second/ Finder window i don't see this image that doesn't have the ability to resize the columns...?
THANKS

Cannot resize column or reorder in library

Using version 4.9 of iTunes. I cannot seem to resize the first column in the Library or my iPod Library. For example, when I open my iPod library the first column on the left is the track name. I can't resize it. I have tried selecting Auto size columns, it has no effect on the first column.
Anyone have any clues or seen this before?

Hi Kingfish, welcome to discussions.
Can you resize the other columns?.
P.S
I learned from you about the autosize columns. Cool.
(Right-click on column header)

Resize column width for JTable without column headers?

Hi,
I find that for me to resize columns of a JTable by using
mouse dragging, I MUST have column headers and then drag
column headers to resize them. Is my understanding correct?
Actually, I need to have a table without header columns.
How can I use mouse to resize column width by dragging?
The background for this request is that I am putting a
complex table as another table's column header and I hope to
be able to resizing the complex table by mouse dragging.
Thanks very much,
David

Hi,
I think you have mistake there. Try
<style type="text/css">
table.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA td {
white-space:nowrap !important;
td[headers="DESCR"] {
width:300px !important;
max-width:300px !important;
#apexir_DESCR {
width:10px;
max-width:300px !important;
</style>And you can try add
table.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA {
width: 100% !important;
table-layout: fixed !important;
}Regards,
Jari

Cannot resize images after CS5 and CC updates

I recently installed Photoshop CC and the CC app recently updated both my own CS6 and CC. I find that I now cannot resize images using the "image size" dialog. Any changes I try to make in dimension or resolution are ignored. Has anyone else encountered this problem, or does anyone have any info which will help me discover what I am doing wrong? Before, I simply entered the resolution and size I wanted for the image. Now I cannot .I have tried suggestion here: e.g., deleting pixels when cropping, etc., but nothing seems to work for me.

Thank you, Mylenium. Just curious... the CS5 update was done before I had
the CC app. Some CS6 updates were done before I joined the CC (the CS5 in
my problem subject-line was a type--should have been CS6), and one through
the cloud. CC, of course, was all updated through the cloud. Am I to
understand that CC would have done something to my owned, personal version
of CS5, which has the same problem?
Not an auspicious beginning with the cloud if complete
uninstalls/reinstalls are necessary right off the bat. I wonder how often
this type of problem will occur using the cloud, which obviously now
monitors my personal version of CS6, as well.

Receiving an error message when connecting to internet saying: windows cannot find "address" but it connects anyway???

The error message that appears when trying to access internet says that windows cannot find "address" and asks to make sure it was typed in correctly. It continues to connect but is a hassle to deal with the error message each time. Any suggestions?

What is the ip address you are getting on the Vista Computer..?
Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt...A black box will appear(Command Prompt)...In the Command Prompt window type ipconfig and press 'Enter'...Look for Wireless Network Connection IP Address , Subnet Mask and Default Gateway...
IP Address should be 192.168.1.x, Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0, Default Gateway : 192.168.1.1 (assuming your router is 192.168.1.1)...
If you get the above mentioned IP Address, Subnet and Gateway Address then you should ping the Gateway, type ping 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...If it gives you request timed out then disable any firewalls, security softwares on the computer...
If you get 4 replies then type ping 4.2.2.2 and press Enter, if you get request timed out, then you need to upgrade your router's firmware...If you get 4 replies then type ping yahoo.com and press Enter...If you get replies for Yahoo then you should get the Internet after adjusting the browser settings...
Adjusting Browser Settings : Open an IE, click Tools >> Internet Options, then delete all files, cookies, history, forms...Goto "Connections", make sure Never Dial a Connection is checked, click on LAN Settings and make sure all the options are unchecked...Once you are done click on O.k...Close the IE and re-open it...
If yahoo times out then provide static DNS on your LAN Connection...
Click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>>Network Connections- Right click on the icon for Wireless Network Connection and go to properties- On the 'General' tab select 'Internet Protocol TCP/IP' and click on the Properties button- Select 'Use the Following DNS Settings' Preferred DNS 4.2.2.2 Alternate DNS - 192.168.1.1>>Click on Ok button to Save and Click on "Close" on main Properties window...You should be able to go online...

Finder window sizing in column view.

Does anyone know if it is possible for the Finder to automatically expand the view to the longest file name in column view? It is very frustrating to have to drag the little lines on the lower right to the right to resize the window manually whenever I open a document folder. I hope I am not confusing anyone but it is hard for me to describe what I mean. Why do I have to manually resize it to the length of the longest file name every time?
Thanks.

I don't think the "Finder" can be configured to resize itself automatically whenever an item with a long name appears in a given window. However, double-clicking the "little lines" (the ones that look like "||" at the base of each column separator) will cause that column to self-adjust to display the longest name. Since a double-click requires less effort than a manual drag, hopefully that will save you a little bit of frustration.
If a generally wider column is preferred, try holding down the option-key while resizing the column - all columns should be resized simultaneously in that window, and the setting should be retained as the default width.

Problem extracting Acrobat XI setup.exe file - using WinRAR extractor - "Windows cannot find file...

I have downloaded Adobe Acrobat XI from my university download site (so I know it's a legit, safe copy). When I run the .exe file, even as an administrator, it begins to extract using WinRAR self-extracting archive and stops with a pop-up error:
"Windows cannot find "C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Temp\RarSFX0\Adobe Acrobat XI\setup.exe"
I scanned using Malwarebytes, AVG, Spybot, and ran a \scannow command. Nothing finds a corrupt file. Any ideas what could be causing the extractor to not work?
I am running Windows 7 on a 64-bit Dell laptop.

SOLUITION - I had to actually download a version of WinRAR extractor. Right click the downloaded AcrobatXI-Windows.exe file and choose "Open with WinRAR" (this option was not available until I downloaded the WinRAR application - apparently the extractor runs automatically but doesn't have full funtionality). Then I nagivated to the Adobe Acrobat folder in the WinRAR window and selected the setup.exe file to run. It opened and installed beautifully.

I keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get it when I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon.

I've just installed Firefox on my laptop and keep getting the message, "Windows cannot find 'c:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again." I get this message whenever I either try to open it from the Start menu or from the desktop icon. I've never gotten it to work and even uninstalled it and then redownloaded it and still cannot get it to open. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Are you installing from the official site? http://www.mozilla.com/firefox
If you use Windows Explorer (My Computer) to check that path, is the Mozilla Firefox folder there? That is the normal installation location, but I think it's worth checking.
If the folder isn't there or firefox.exe is not in it, I wonder whether some other software might be interfering. You might want to run some supplemental security scans. These two tools are highly regarded:

Hi there are various threads here for this issue
this one being the most extensive
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3191263?start=0&tstart=0
First step is re-start the finder
1. Press command-option-esc simultaneously
2. Select Finder
3. Click on re-start
Then according to the above link, several people tried different things.

"Windows cannot find the microsoft software license terms" Windows 8.1 Installation Error - Parallels

I'm trying to install Windows 8.1 via Parallels on my Macbook Pro.
I create a new VM and use the .ISO file and get the error: "Windows cannot find the microsoft software license terms. Make sure the installation sources are valid and restart the installation."
I found this question was answered here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/b1021d66-9774-4b5b-b50b-ad860c5ecc89/windows-8-enterprise-rtm-installation-error?forum=w8itproinstall
However, following the steps of the solution did not work for me. I created a blank VM and chose Windows 8.1. After this, it asks me to insert the installation disc. I cannot figure out how to use the .ISO as the source at this point. I tried copying and
pasting the path to the file and dragging the file to the VM, but no luck.
If there is a way I can install this without this error message or by somehow getting the path to the .ISO that'd be perfect.

Hi,
According to your description, I would like to confirm if you have unchecked the Express installation box.
Be sure to uncheck 'Express Installation' when installing, otherwise Windows setup will fail with an error "cannot find license terms" and get stuck in a reboot cycle.
I suggest you refer to the following link to use Parallels Desktop to install Windows 8.1.

Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4(64bit)...'

I've just installed the CS6 upgrade on my WIndows VIsta x64 bit machine.
Just now, I opened a folder of files in Bridge CS6.
I highlighted one of the files and selected Ctrl/o to host Camera Raw in Photoshop, which is what I always do.
But, I got an error message saying that Windows cannot find Photoshop CS4.
I did uninstall CS5 after installing the upgrade, if that makes any difference.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
D.

For some users an uninstall of previous version wrecks havoc with file associations.
First try edit/preferences/file type associations. Click on reset "reset to default associations". If that does not work click on individual file and set default to CS6.
If the above does not work you either have to unistall CS6, run the Adobe Script Cleaner or read registry solution in this link. http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1005273?tstart=0
