New icons alway appear top right corner on top of each other.

Hi All.
When I connect to a network disc or download something to the desktop, anything that needs a new desktop icon to be created, all the newly created icons appear stacked on top of each other, like a deck of cards, in the top right hand corner. I usually have my main HD there but it refuses to stay put. I've tried the arrange and clean up options, I have also repaired permissions and run disc warrior. This is a very recent complete re install of everything, from scratch. Any other suggestions?
Regards, Nick

Hi Nick
This may work.
Open Terminal, found in Applications/Utilities.
copy and paste this text into terminal.
sudo rm .DS_Store
supply your password, it will be 'invisible' as you type, Press Return/Enter key
type
exit
Quit Terminal.
Log out and log back in again.

New icons always at top left of window

When I create a new file or folder its icon is always created at the top left corner of the enclosing Finder window, even if there's already something there. In previous versions the icon would be positioned in white space somewhere, which was much more useful for me. I don't want to keep my icons sorted or otherwise automatically arranged, I'd like this behaviour classed as a bug and fixed.
I've tried this on other machines and it seems to be the default behaviour.

Hi, ueli — and Rev. Andy and Pam, should you happen to revisit this thread —
b>(1) Apparently, you're not alone. Other have expressed problems with this issue — several posts in Will Mardis' "Icons of downloaded files overlap is an example. But I've never experienced it (I seldom use icon, or list, view), so I'll reply as if it were brand new...
b>(2) Font compatibility?Is there any chance that a font compatibility issue is involved? You can check this using /Applications/Font Book, looking for duplicate fonts demarked by a "•" beside them and using Edit »» Resolved Duplicates. File »» Validate Font may also be helpful. From within Font book, Help »» Font Book Help explains...
b>(3) View option settings?
I've just tried to replicate the behavior that I think is being described — and I can't.
I'll explain — just in case there's something helpful hidden subtly among my attempts that's helpful to you:
(a) I created a new folder named "Testing" inside ~/Documents/ with "list view" selected
(b) Since you've all mentioned icon behavior, I set its View »» View options as follows:
• Icon size: 48 x 48; text size: 12 pt.; Label position: bottom
• Show item info and Show icon preview are selected; Snap to grid and Keep arranged by: aren't.
(c) I created three very simple TextEdit documents named Testing 123, Testing 456, and Testing 789.
(d) I saved the first two directly into the "Testing" folder; the third I saved into ~/Documents/, then dragged it into "Testing."
(e) I checked the folder after each "save." After the first file — which was naturally placed in the top-left-hand corner of Testing's Finder window — the other icons were placed ("in white space") at appropriate distances to its right. None overlapped, "took over" the left-hand-side, etc.
(4) How are you doing this differently — if you are? Can you replicate what I've described — or help me to understand the problem definition more clearly?
I honestly don't understand why some folks would experience this consistently, others, intermittently, and yet others not at all — unless it's solvable. Perhaps Mac OS X Feedback or BugReporter (requires free ADC membership) would be appropriate.
HTH!
Warm regards,
Dean

Think the app will ever show the red number icon in the upper right corner? Be nice to quickly see if a new podcast is available.

Think this new app will ever show the red (new) number icon in the upper right corner? Be nice to know when a new version of a podcast is available...

Agreed. I do not want to keep opening the app to see if there is new episodes to listen to.

New Icon has appeared

I have a curve 8310 and a new icon has appeared, directly to the right of the alarm icon and to the left of the battery icon (on the far right)
It looks like a target, as in the sight of a gun - basically a cross with a circle around it
currently the keys are not working so I am trying to swap the device out, perhaps the icon is a sign of the devices status, ie dead!
anyone seen this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It is your GPS location on symbol.
It has nothing to do with the device being dead.
Your keys not working is 99% of the time an indicator of moisture problems in the keyboard, I've seen it all too often.
Even left in a bathroom during a hot steamy shower or bath will cause the keys to not respond well.
Remove the battery NOW.

How do I download tv shows on iPod? Ios7. They are there. A little cloud icon in the bottom right corner. But unlike an iPad, there is no option (cloud with a downward facing arrow) to download.

If they have 'open' next to them then that implies that they are already on your iPad - if you tap on the 'open' button does that open the app ? If it does then they are on your iPad. You've checked all your homescreens and tried a soft-reset to see if they show after the iPad has restarted : 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.

On text screen icons on the upper right corner are overlapping (i.e. contact and the upload arrows)

When on the texting screen, the icons on the upper right corner are overlapped. Example: the new text icon is underneath the upload icon. Also, when in an individual text screen, the contact icon is underneath the upload arrow icon. Seems to be a software problem to me.

and here is a second sample of the issue.

HT202190 Where is the "Settings icon in the lower right corner of the Home Sharing window."?

Where is the "Settings icon in the lower right corner of the Home Sharing window."? Anybody else doesn't find it? Is it because of I have the most updated version of iTunes? Have things changed?

What I had to do is send to my iPhone from my Mac, respond to the resulting alert, choose the action button while the destination was highlighted, and then save the address to favorites.

New windows don't open on top of each other in Firefox. How can I make that happen?

New windows don't open on top of each other in Firefox. How can I make that happen? That is, every time I open a new window, it won't open on top of the old window, and instead is positioned to the right of it. I'm on a mac. Please help.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Today

I see. I'm not aware of how to fix this in Firefox. Usually you want to tweak your Winow Manager preferences for opening new windows.
Example: sawfish preferences for Linux.
Since Mac OS X doesn't have any preferences, you have to use Applescript or another technique. I found [http://amitp.blogspot.com/2006/08/mac-os-x-window-management-spooky.html Spooky], maybe there are others. I haven't tried it, but here is the [http://www.doernte.net/spooky.html Spooky Download and Description].

When I open TWC, the site opens twice, not right on top of each other but skewed to the right. I can read it and it won't search locations.

For the last 3 days, when I open TWC it has two images of the site on top of each other, as if the site opened two times.

Try a Reset... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

On some pages the text from more than one paragraph stack up on top of each other, like writing something then writing something else on top of it.

On some pages the text from more than one paragraph stack up on top of each other, like writing something then writing something else over the top of it. Some pages will run text and pictures together, like a car rear-ending another or a train pile up. Other pages will cut an image or text short, i.e. it will display a portion of the top of the image or text but not the rest. This happens on Amazon for example, the section where it says "Customers who looked at this also looked at" will allow only a certain amount of the upper portion of the description immediately below the picture of the product but below that section everything is fine until I get to another section displaying more products and their descriptions and then it cuts the bottom portions off again. I've noticed this behavior mostly in the sections with product photos, the text sections seem okay. YouTube also displays this behavior. It's even doing it on this page right now. Below this box I can read "The more information you can provide the better chance your question will be answered " , but directly below that in the next sentence I can see the start of it with "Troublshootin" and the "Automatically Add" in a green field covering the "g". The next clear text is "A window will open in the top corner. Click Allow, and then click Install. If the automated way doesn't work, try these manual steps." I tried turning of pre-fetching, clearing history, cookies, and cache, scanning for malware with Avast and Windows Defender all to no avail. It began when I upgraded from dial up to DSL via AT&T Uverse. I have a Motorola NVG510 modem. The modem was replaced an hour ago along with new dedicated lines and DSL/Phone splitter from the box by an AT&T technician to make sure my incoming lines were up to par. He ran a connection test and verified everything is up to standards. IE does not display this behavior. I am running Firefox20.0.1 and all previous versions have acted the same way since I upgraded to DSL about 3 months ago.

If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" in case the current setting is causing problems.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced: [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not being displayed properly.

A video on any site is shown double, one on top of each other!

When ever I want to see a video, no matter what site it is, the screen, where the video is on, shows two images of the video. Basically, the video is condensed into two, one on top of each other, making them wide, but I dont know why there show two!!

This seems to have happened after the latest Adobe Flash Player update. Might be an issue of compatibility with Firefox, since in Internet Explorer the problem doesn't appear. Haven't tried any other browsers yet.
To me, it seems that the two images that appear are similar to the ones used in making 3D movies, but instead of displaying them overlapped they are displayed separately. This is just a wild guess and I have no actual proof to back this up.
PS: I am also using Firefox 3.6.13 on Windows XP.
Later edit: I have found a workaround for this issue. Right-Click on any improper displayed video and choose Settings. On one of the tabs found there is a checkbox "Enable Hardware Acceleration". It was enabled for me, after disabling it and restarting the browser the video was back to normal.

Filling color in layered objects (a few circiles on top of each other)

Hello all,
I am new to Illustrator. I want to thank you any advices from you all first.
Currently I am working on my first Logo design project. There are a number of circles on top of each other. The goal is to fill each circle with different colour.
I read some other posts, they mentioned about the different objects are in different layers, so that it is difficult to fill colour individually. Any suggestions?
I tried to make the image to Live Paint, but the option is in gray, so that I cannot change to Live Paint. And if I try to fill the colour, there are nothing happen.
The file (in .AI format) can be download from this link.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/olyyol
And one last question, after I completed the Logo, is that possible to just extract the Logo itself rather than save the whole paper? What type of format I should save with if I want to make it eventually jpg file.
Thank you very much for your help again.
Pete

You seem to be complicating this a little more than it need be.
here's video of what I did always keep it simple.
http://mysite.verizon.net/wzphoto/Paint.mov
As for what you did was possibly open another file or took an extra step.
But to do what you want is a very simple matter you should be able to figure this out yourself but i am going to try to show how you are making it comlicated rathe than easy.
First you fill one part with the color you want then
you fill the other part with the same color

Since my iPad IOS was updated to 7.0.4, when I send a Pages doc as a Word docx to my kindle the text is all scrunched up down one side as if the letters are on top of each other. It worked find before and the docx are OK when imported to Word.

Since my iPad 2 was updated to IOS 1.0.4, I cannot send a docx from Pages to my kindle. I can to my PC and open it in Word. But when I send a pages document and select Word as the format, the letters appear on my kindle screen down the left side, printed on top of each other. It worked fine before the upgrade. Any suggestions?

What version of Pages are you using? Did you upgrade to Pages 2.1 for iOS?

In FCPX can I stack clips of multiple angles on top of each other and choose what parts I want to make my movie out of?

Hi there
I'm debating whether to purchase FInal Cut Pro X or not and I'm new(ish) to video editing.
What I have done so far is produce a music video mimed to audio and shot at about 20 different angles. Each angle is the length of the ENTIRE song, not just snipets.
What I want to be able to do is have those 20 videos sitting stacked up on top of each other (completely synced to the audio) and be able to choose what parts of what video I make my final video out of.
So I want to be able to tell the system to start at angle 1, then at a specific time move to angle 6, then angle 19, then back to angle 1, then angle 16 etc etc etc.
But I dont want to cut up the parts of each camera angle first, I want to be able to select a specific part to play from each ENTIRE camera angle.
Is this possible please? And also what is the correct terminology for this process?
I apologise for not using the correct terminology here, as I dont know the correct words for what I am trying to explain.
Thanks
