Possible to change how folders are ordered in Cover Flow?

I have a folder containing many folders that always opens in order of last modified. Is there any way I can make this folder open in name order? Obviously once the folder is open I can sort by name, but I want it to open by default in this manner.
Other folders always seem to be sorted by name.
Any help appreciated.

Once you click the Name title in the list view section of Cover Flow, it should set that folder to always open with it sorted by Name. That is, of course, if you have write access to the folder because the setting is stored in the .DS_Store file in the folder. If you can't write to that .DS_Store file, then the setting won't be remembered.

How Can I Get My Cover Flow To Be In "Artist Order" Vs. "Its Own Order"

*I'm A VERYYYYY Organized Person. & I Like My Music To Be In A My Library A Certain Way. AND My iPod Is Putting The Cover Flow In... I Dont Know What Kind Of Order...

I Have All My Music By Artist (If There Is A Feature Artist I Put That Info after The Song Name. I Dont Like Looking At 10 Different Picz of The Same Album. My Music Looks Great In iTunes.

Yes - it does! As Meg says, the coverflow order cannot be changed (or at least, I haven't found a way) and on my Classic the albums by one artist are first and in *artist alphabetical order,* followed (at the end of the artist list) by *various artists (or compilation) albums* which are in *album title order.*
I Dont Like Looking At 10 Different Picz of The Same Album.
Almost certainly, the reason you see several pictures of the same album is because the information in the tracks is confusing the iPod. See turingtest2's links, because they should help you sort out what is wrong.

P.S. you may feel that Meg was out of order with her comments about your typing, but she is right - it is difficult to read your post and if you want help, you need to make it easy for the people reading it. It's not simply some "convention" within this forum, it's standard internet protocol. Still, you live in the free world, it's your choice.

How can I get the Cover Flow text to be in all caps

I've only had one problem with the Cover Flow application for iTunes. All of my track names, artists, and album names are in caps on my library. When I switch to the Cover Flow view some songs are displayed with all caps, while others have the song and album in caps, but the artist is in lower case.
I've gone through all of my files and all of them have been correctly entered in all caps, yet Cover Flow still does not display them correctly. I've even gone through every album, got info, and made sure everything was in all caps. Still no succcess.
Any suggestions?
How about creating an option button to control Cover Flow's functioning on the next iTunes version? That would be nice.

Thanks, jere7my.
In other words, I should always make changes to my song text with the Cover Flow view selected.
I would never have the Cover Flow view selected while importing new albums, tracks, and artwork. I switched back to it after I was done personalizing my stuff. Thats when I started to notice they were still in lower case, even though I had changed them.

How do you turn off cover flow? I HATE IT!

I just purchased an iPod nano.
But this cover flow thing on the right side of the screen is driving me nuts!
I went to settings > main menu > cover flow and unchecked "cover flow". But I still have this annoying cover flow on the right side of the display.
My iPod video does not have this terrible feature. (Good but why?)
If there's no way to shut this off I'm returning it for a refund.
There has GOT to be a way to shut cover flow off.

Thank you to all who have tried to help.
Perhaps some additional details are in order.
I also have an iPod video. It works correctly. When I go through various menus there is no artwork floating around on the right side of the display.
If I uncheck "display album artwork" in iTunes that will probably turn off the album artwork that my iPod video shows when it's _actually playing that song._ I want to keep that ability.
What I need to turn off is the annoying graphics that takes place to the right in menus.
If my iPod video does it correctly why can't the iPod nano?
Because the iPod video does not have that feature and the iPod nano does.
The new iPod nano and the new iPod classic have a new operating system that includes the moving graphics to the right of the menus. As you have been told you cannot turn it off it is what the new menus look like, get over it.
I really don't see what the problem is anyway, it does not interfere with the operation of the menu, nor is it offensive. if you don't like it then take it back and stop whining.

Are the Finder Cover Flow options as limited as I think?

Hello there,
Been a happy user of macs for about eight years now and do a lot of work in graphic design. As a result navigating folders and previewing content is very important to me and the ease of my work flow. I have to say however that while Finder provides a somewhat decent solution in 'Coverflow' I believe that it's far too limited in scope.
My main irk (if you will) is that while using cover flow the browsing option seems limited to the 'list' browsing method which, personally, I can't stand. I find it odd that there is no option to use Cover Flow with the column browser. Is this 100% the case? Or is there something I'm missing, maybe even a work around that allows me to do so (and no, not quicklook).
Honestly it doesn't strike me as something difficult to implement because both coverflow and columns already exist.
I'm sure that if such a feature existed I'd use and appreciate Cover Flow far more. Anybody else share this feeling?
Anyway back to the drawing tablet.
Jas

Yes. The icon to switch between cover flow view and multicolumn view doesn't offer both. Whether or not it is a reason why, but you get a preview of the contents of the files when you select them in the column to their right in column view. List view doesn't offer you a preview except in coverflow. So coverflow is a way of giving List view a preview without destroying the integrity of the list.

Cover Flow View: Changes in "Information" not updated in Cover Flow

Hi
When changing text in "Information" like name of the artist or the album or just using a big letter instead of a small letter it doesn't seem to be updated in Cover Flow View. For example: I changed the name of the album of "The division bell" to "The Division Bell" under Information as usual but in the Cover Flow it still appears as "The division bell".
Dont' know if this issue has been answered already before, couldn't find it.
Hope someone can help.
Thx schmidjo

Here's the fix - at least for me: I shared the entire library not just the particular songlist, then i selected the songlist in question from the client computer - well below the name of the host
(shared icon). At that point all options (List, Grid, Cover Flow) were available. In Cover Flow artwork was in synch with the current song - but clicking the forward arrow on screen or on the keyboard usually messed up the synch - better to just let the song advance at its end (done playing). This was true in or out of shuffle. Still pondering this - will post if fix determined.

How to I turn on Cover Flow in iTunes 11

I recently upgraded from iTunes 10.7 to version 11, but I cannot use it without Cover Flow. How do I turn it back on?

Apple removed Cover Flow from iTunes 11. You cannot turn it on back again.
What you can do:
Downgrade to iTunes 10.7
Leave Feedback to Apple and protest against it (so did I, too)

HT5457 How do I recover my cover flow for albums?

If I reset my Iphone to its factory setting, will this restore my album cover flow?

MacBook Airs don't run Classic. These two links should be helpful for it:
Apple Article to reset the password for 10.6.8 and earlier, and 10.7 and later.
Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to find the operating system.
If you are totally locked out of the operating system, usually when you Option boot you can find out what you are booting if the machine can boot.

Changing how attachments are attached to outgoing email?

Hello everyone, my apologies in advance if this has already been answered somewhere, but I've been scouring the discussion forums for nearly an hour and don't really have more time to keep going.
I'm new to Mac, 6 days now. I'm having a bit of a problem: when I create a new email message and want to attach a file to it, the file is being 'previewed' in my email. Maybe not a big deal for some, but one thing I often need to attach is a massive PDF, not in file size but in pixels, 20,000-30,000 in width. Because Mail is trying to preview the attachment in the message, it is taking literally four minutes to do so, during which time I can't do anything else at the computer.
If I zip the PDF file, then attach the zip file, it shows as a file icon, but that isn't a very good solution - it would mean I need to zip every file I want to send that is previewable, meaning extra steps and more disk space usage.
Is there a way to attach these files without having to zip them, whereby the file will display on my end as an icon rather than as the actual file? I hope this makes sense. It's driving me crazy. My Mac experience so far has been excellent, but this is bordering on a showstopper for me.
I've read a ton of threads about email format, etc, and it doesn't matter if I do my emails as Plain or Rich Text, if I'm creating one from scratch or replying, who the recepient is, etc, it is always previewing the PDF. There's got to be a setting somewhere which will allow me to stop seeing the file contents in my email message.
Thanks to anyone who can help with this issue .

Thanks for the clarification.
You used the term right click on it to download instead of right click on it to save the attached file outside of the message which are very different things.
RTF with Tiger Mail is HTML or I should say can be HTML but certain things must occur in order for HTML to be implemented with a sent message.
Regardless the message font and size chosen at Mail > Preferences > Fonts & Colors, you must select a font and size via the font panel when composing a message or use bold, italics, underline for selected text or changing text color, etc. If you are using a signature that was composed with RTF or HML with a different font, size and/or color than is used in the message body or contains an image or logo, etc. Forwarding a message that was composed in HTML and the same when replying to a received message that was composed in HTML if you have "Use the same message format as the original message" selected for composing preferences at Mail > Preferences > Composing.
Any or all or a combination of any of these will send a message as HTML.
Depending on the Outlook and Windows version used by a recipient, Outlook has had some problems with Mail's RTF. There is no email client that is completely bug free and Outlook has plenty of bugs for such an old/mature email client and MS also makes the arrogant assumption that the majority of people that exchange email are using Outlook or OE and should be if not.
So long story short, using Plain Text for message composition can and does make a difference.

Is it possible to change way names are arranged in login screen?

I want to put all the administrators first in the login screen regardless of the name. Is the possible?

Don't know if its possible (never wanted to try it) but maybe playing with the UID and RealName and Name values via NetInfo.app may help you.
I have previously changed my default UID from 501 to a value lower than 500 in order to stop my name appearing in the menu.
Found this on the excellent MacOSXHints website, you could try posting there as well

How do I change HOW downloads are saved

I do not want download to be saved as Firefox Adobe pdf. How do I change that?

Is it this issue:
Some users are finding that an update changed the description of "Adobe Acrobat Document" to "Firefox HTML Document". The installer was supposed to add Firefox as an ADDITIONAL viewer for PDFs, not as the DEFAULT viewer. Sorry if you were affected by this glitch and hopefully they will figure out why some systems get changed this way.
You can try this fix suggested by a user in another thread:
# Open Adobe Reader / Acrobat*
# Edit->Preferences
# In the Categories column click 'General'
# Near the bottom of the page click the button marked 'Select Default PDF Handler'
# In the dialog, select 'Adobe Reader XI' (or Adobe Acrobat, as the case may be) and click 'Apply'
# A Windows Configuration screen will appear. Allow it to do its stuff (takes a few minutes), then restart your computer when prompted.
Does that work for you?
''*'' If you do not have Adobe Reader 11, you can install it from here: http://get.adobe.com/reader/

Login Page - Change How Users are Authenticated

Hi all,
I have done a function in a package:
function checkPassword( p_username in varchar2, p_password in varchar2 ) return boolean
is
db_password number;
begin
select password into db_password
from people
where username = p_username;
if db_password = dbms_utility.get_hash_value( p_password, 37, 1000000000 ) then
return true;
else
return false;
end if;
end checkPassword;
Now, I want to use this function to authenticate the user in the application but I don't know how to do it...
I create a login page by default... what do I have to change?
Thanks in advance
Rdgs
CD

CD,
Edit the authentication scheme's Authentication Function attribute to be:
return your_package_name.checkPassword;
You might also want that logic to allow for upper/lower case variations of the entered username.

Hi,
Perhaps by changing your infoview Viewer preferences?
or check out 1575886 - No SAP Prompt Screen in InfoView when viewing a rport based off multiple SAP data source
it says:
Resolution
To display the SAP prompt screen in InfoView for reports that are based off different SAP data source, enable the option: SAP.style.prompt.enabled, in the web.xml file of the web application. To enable the option:
On your BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 server, go to the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55\webapps\PartnerPlatformService\WEB-INF
Note: The beginning of the path may be different if you have chosen to install the product on a different drive or folder.
Make a backup copy of the file: web.xml
Edit the file: web.xml and add the following code:
   <context-param>
        <param-name>SAP.style.prompt.enabled</param-name>
        <param-value>true</param-value>
    </context-param>
Note: You may already have the above code in the web.xml file. If it is present, it is by default commented out by being surrounded by the tags  If it's the case, then you simply have to remove the tags that comment out the code.
Save the change.
Restart the web application server ( Tomcat by default )

Please change how searches are handled

If I am in the Premiere Pro forum, and I search for a term, it should be understood that I only want to search in the Premiere Pro forum. I shouldn't have to do a search, click "more options," scroll down to "Premiere Pro," and then search again. It's an unnecessary waste of time. Could this be changed?
J. D.

Curt,
Earlier on, there was talk of Adobe doing just that. IIRC, those comments were made by a couple of the MOD's in a product forum. Considering the sources, I would speculate that Adobe was planning on working on that aspect, but has either not completed the task, or they have dropped that idea. Those guys are not prone to speculation, so they must have gotten the "word" from higher authorities. Of course, THAT is just speculation on my part...
Good luck to us all,
Hunt

Changing how documents are downloaded

My ipad was setup with notability the only app to receive downloads (PDFs), how can I change this? Do I have to add another app like pages?

Just bear in mind that any document that you want to download/save on the iPad, must have an app in which you can save it and the app must be compatible to work with the file type/document that you want to download/save/edit.
