Lost disclosure triangles in coveflow and list views in home folder

I ran the 'chflags nohidden ~/Library' command in terminal to reveal the user library which worked just fine. The problem is that I have lost the disclosure triangles in my Home folder view in List and Coverflow views. When I click home in the sidebar There are no triangles by the folders. Double cicking a folder to see subfolders shows the triangles okay. Problem is only at top level. All other folders in sidebar are fine. I have relaunched finder, ditched finder preferences and cache, booted into safe mode, restarted several times all to no avail. Also reran the chflags command hidden and nohidden. Would appreciate any assistance.

Please post a screenshot illustrating the problem.

  • Question re. Column View/List View in Home Folder and Root Folder?

    <Edited by Host>
    When I set either my Home folder in the Dock or the Root Folder on the Desktop to open in Column View, everything opened is retracted upon closing.
    Is this just the way Leopard is, or am I missing something obvious I should know:
    First, on Tiger, my Home Folder opens directly in the Finder. I don't have to select "Open in Finder," as I have to in Leopard.
    Second, when I select the Column option when opening the Home Folder in the Finder, it automatically sets the Column option for the Root Folder on the Desktop, as well (and vice-versa). In Tiger, they can be set independently. I prefer to have the Root Folder set to List View and the Home Folder to Column View, and have both remain like that. This is what I meant, but got a bit confused before in asking the question.
    Also, is there some way, as in Tiger, to have the Home Folder in the Dock set to open automatically in the Finder, without having to select that option each time I go to the Home Folder?
    Actually, now that I remember, perhaps this isn't such surprising behavior. To get it there, I copied the Home Folder from its position in the Root Folder to the Dock. Maybe there is some other way to get the Home Folder into the Dock? Thanks.

    Thanks. The option "Open in Finder" appears at the bottom of a small vertical menu when I click on the Home Folder in the Dock. Command clicking on the Home Folder brings up the other user account, Shared, and my user account, so it's not that useful.
    ah, you are right. well, one more option is to make an alias to the home folder, put it anywhere you want and put the alias on the dock. then clicking (no command-clicking needed) on the alias in the dock will open home in a finder window directly.
    The default in Finder Preferences was already set the way you suggested.
    Now that I know about cmd-n, that gets me directly to the Home Folder in the Finder. And now that it's set up to open in Column View, and remain that way independent of the View option for the Root folder, everything seems to be looking good. That's what I needed.

  • File system chaos; how to backup and restore one's home folder??

    My young son managed to drag the desktop icon from the hard disk to the trash. I dragged the desktop out of the trash but the file system on the hard disk seems to be whacked: iphoto, itunes were unable to find their libraries (I solved this though), and other apps seem to suffer the same problem as well. I'm guessing my best option is to reformat the disc and reinstall OS 10.4.7 but I want to make sure that I get all documents, files, etc. from my home folder. Can I simply drag that folder to an external drive, perform the reformat/reinstall and then drag the home folder from the external drive back? What is the best way to proceed?

    There are some article by Apple on Disk Utility, and you do not want to always use the Install Disk to repair your drive if the version is earlier. You'd be better off with fsck in single user mode.
    You can repair permissions from any boot drive running Tiger, as it looks in the /Receipts regardless (unlike 10.2 which had a messed up method).
    As for finding all the files to backup - I would use Disk Utility Restore, then backup the whole volume to a blank partition on your FW drive. And while at it, setup an emergency boot volume for OS X that you can use for repairs in the future.
    And maybe create separate accounts, then backup those accounts, and limit what others can or cannot do.

  • Birthday calendar and list view

    Hey, I'm loving my iPhone and have been very lucky in avoiding issues others have had. I do have a slight problem, though. I enabled birthdays in iCal and allowed them to sync over to iPhone. The only problem is that these birthdays from last year are showing up at the top of my list view, despite having the option in iTunes that prevents syncing of old items enabled. Has anyone else had this problem?

    If you have them set up as recurring appointments, they may be coming over but seeding themselves according to how they were defined, including the start date of the recurrence.

  • OS 10.4.3 and List View: Functionality has regressed since update from .2

    In the Finder, I exclusively use List View. I like it a lot and it works better for me than any of the other modes for viewing my files.
    However, since I have applied the upgrade to 10.4.3 from 10.4.2, I have seen a definite regression in the functionality in the utility of List View, particularly when it comes to cut and paste of text within file names.
    Try this example: open a new Finder window in a directory. Press command-2 to get List View (if that's not already the default). Press command-shift-n to create a new folder (should be named Untitled Folder). Press the Enter key to accept the name. Next press the Enter key again to allow entering a new name. Use the mouse to double-click on the word Untitled. Press command-x. "Untitled" won't get into the paste buffer - it just sits there and doesn't move. To make it go away, you must use the keyboard to delete it.
    While this sounds like no big deal, it is. I manage a lot of data using my Mac. I need to be able to copy or cut parts of folder names all the time. Changing the Mac interface for an improvement of the user experience is all well and good, but this is a regression and - dare I say it - the introduction of a bug in the Finder.
    By the way, this isn't specific to my computer. I've tried it on others and received the same broken behavior. Am I the only one who uses List View and cares??

    hmmm is this a variation the copy/paste problem I was having with 10.4.2, where I found it was no longer possible to copy a piece of text from one application to the clipboard and then paste it (CMD + V) into another application or indeed, as the name of a new folder or a file I wanted to rename?
    These are matters of the most fundamental functionality of the OS. Those little things we do all the time because we need to. If it's no longer possible to paste in a new folder name, or type one in, to replace "untitled folder" (whether in List view or any other view) that that is surely a bug and not a design feature.
    So: I can confirm that I am experiencing something like the "can't rename a folder in List view" except that it's worse - it's "I can't paste anything from one place to a different place, such as three paragraphs of text I created in AppleWorks, into a Word file".

  • Report Viewer - SSRS settings/parameters and List Viewer

    Hello
    I have 2 questions. Using SharePoint 2010, data are stored in SQL 2012
    1. SSRS Report Viewer - is there a way to display parameter panel with the question on the top of the web part or left side (it shows on the right side)? Can't seem to find that setting, but seen some samples of the reports that show parameters drop
    down on top of the Viewer.
    2. Using List View Web part to display the items from the external content (sql), but can't seem to find a way to select the record without going into details for this record. In other words - I'd like to display a table with few records, have an ability
    to select the record and pass the ID as a parameter to the report, but also give a user ability to view details of each record. Is there a way to add the radio button or something like that next to each record?
    Thank you!
    Alla Sanders

    Hello,
    This is the answer for 1. This is the way I did it. So, use content editor webpart. Add this script to the webpart. Script shows a label and a dropdown list and attach a javascript function to onchange event of dropdown list. Onchange event creates the dynamic
    report url and open that report url in new browser window.
    <span>Report parameter one : </span>
    <select onchange="loadreport(this.selectedIndex); id="cars">
    <option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
    <option value="saab">Saab</option>
    <option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>
    <option value="audi">Audi</option>
    </select>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function loadreport(index) {
    var ddcars = document.getElementById("cars");
    var carname = ddcars.options[index].value;
    var rpt = "http://yourserver.com/MA/SIP/_layouts/ReportServer/RSViewerPage.aspx?rv:RelativeReportUrl=/MA/SIP/SC_Reports/Location_Reports/YourReportName.rdl&DefaultItemOpen=1&rv:HeaderArea=None&rv:DocMapMode=Collapsed&rv:toolbaritemsdisplaymode=152&rp:CarName=" + carname + "&rv:ParamMode=Collapsed" ;
    window.open(rpt);
    </script>
    Hope this can help!
    Thanks!

  • How to change to Icon View for some folders but and List View for the rest

    I've had a bear of a time with View options in my folders. I'd like some folders to be in Icon view and other to be in List view. For what ever reason if I change the view option of one folder it changes the view option of EVERY folder. What can I do to make this happen?

    I was about to ask the same. I'd like to use icon view normally, but list view for folders containing lots of text documents. It looks like the solution is using View > Show View Options, change the folder to the view you want, and then tick the box at the top fo the dialogue for "Always open in __ view".

  • List view in applications folder missing arrows

    I have a 27" i7 iMac and I recently updated to 10.7.1. I have a clean install of Lion. After updating, a strange thing happened in my Applications folder. When in list view, the arrows that are usually next to the folders, allowing you to expand and collapse them, are gone. It is only one the top level of that folder. Everywhere else works fine. Also, I can't click on the headings to resort. Is anyone else experiencing this or have an idea on how to fix it?

    Found this answer over in another question. Solved my issue.

  • Printing issues when printing day, week, and list views

    I'm having problems all of a sudden with printing my iCal. Months print just fine, but when I try to print any other view, it says my paper size is incorrect, to choose another size. Well, I've been through and chosen every size listed, and it still says I have the incorrect paper size.
    Anybody have any experience with this problem?

    racjstevens,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Try changing your default paper size in System Preferences...>Print & Fax>Printing.
    Is there any reason that you are still using 10.4.1? The current system is 10.4.10.

  • Word Wrap Lost When Switching Between XML and Author Views

    I compose DITA topics in the XML view with the word wrap option selected. If I switch to the Author view to check something and then return to the XML view, my nicely formatted XML view with all the happy element-nesting tabs goes away. I wind up with an ugly chunk of flush-left code and text that's difficult to read. Is there a reason why FM can't remember the tabs and word wrap when I return to the XML view?
    I'm relatively new to using FM's structured side for DITA, so perhaps I'm missing the obvious solution to this problem. If you know the answer, I'd appreciate if you'd clue me in.
    Thanks!

    Sarah,
    When you switch from XML to Author (or WYSIWYG) view, FM does not "remember" the XML document at all. Instead, internally it creates a structured FM document with the same element structure (possibly modified by the underlying XML application). When you switch back to XML view, it creates a new XML document from the current element structure, thereby preserving any changes you made in Author View. FM is very conservative about writing white space to XML in order to avoid inserting unwanted significant space.
    If you do all your editing in XML View and want to inspect the formatted version of the document without making changes to white space, always make a copy of the XML document (with File > Save As) and use the copy in Author View.

  • List view in documents folder is weird

  • Application icon in List View - anyone to view as app and not preview?

    Hello
    I've noticed something new in Leopard that is bugging me.
    The small icons when you do a List View shows a preview of the document - not a small logo of the application it uses. So for instance, if I have a list view of a folder with a mix of Pages, Numbers, Word, TextEdit, etc. - I can't do a quick scan and find just the files associated with a certain program - say Word.
    Is there any way to change these back to the old Tiger layout?
    Thanks

    I tried the rollover trick, and it apparently only works when you rollover the attachments at the bottom on the email. It would be nice if that worked at the top of the email when I click the little black attachment triangle. Scrolling to the bottom of the email to hover over links isn't convenient.
    Also, the hover-over filename isn't quickly digestible because it gives you additional superfluous information such as downloaded status, mime type and "Control click for menu". See screenshot:
    http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/102172/additional-info.png
    The QuickLook option isn't what I want because I need to find things by filename, often from a large batch of attachments which I have never seen before, so seeing them as thumbnails doesn't really help.
    So, from those suggestions I guess the unfortunate answer is Mail.app doesn't have a simple filename view and I have to use something else.
    ...Off to the OSX Feedback page to make a suggestion...

  • Thumbnail Icons in list and Column View

    I am trying to find out how to change icons for media files (pics/movies) from generic file type icons to thumbnail previews of the file. I Know its possibel because one of my folders (photos/iphoto/origionals.....)shows up in the column and list view as thumbnails. NONE of my other folders do though. I have tried messing with the view options, and i know you can view thumbnails in the ICON view in finder but this is not what i want to do. I also know that in column view you can preview files in an extra column, also not what i want. So anyone know how to make all icons in all finder views into thumbnails?
    Thanks

    The "icons" you are seeing are QuickLook icons that show a preview of the content in the file. AFAIK, there is no way to disable it. However, you can go into Finder>Preferences>Advanced and enabled the Show all file extensions option to help distinguish between filetypes.

  • Setting in and out points in list view.

    I am in list view.  I am showing several favorited clips from one video.  Say I am playing back the third favorited range and I want to select in and out points for that favorited range.  The video is playing and I hit i.  I am immediately jumped from the favorited range I have selected to the first favorited clip in the list.  When I click back on the clip I was setting the in point for I find that it has set the in point where I wanted.  The entrire process then repeats when I try to select the out point.  Set out point.  Jumps up to first clip.  Click back on original clip to get to my out point.
    This is very frustrating and makes using favorites and list view a huge waste of time.  Can anyone help?

    That should not happen.  Before anythign else, do these two things.
    1- Go into the "Final Cut Pro" menu, "Command", and be sure "Default" is checked.   Quit out of FCP X.
    2- Open System Preferences (Apple menu), Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts.  Click the "Restore Defaults" option.  The issue here is OS shortcuts will override app shortcuts.
    3- Launch FCP X and try again.  If that doesn't fix it...
    4- Download the free app "Preference Manager" from  Digital Rebellion (dot com) and use it to delete the FCP X pref files.
    After you've done all of these, report back and let us know what's up.
