Problems with Folder view settings and file association in Windows 8.1

My Windows 8.1 64 bit started forgetting the view settings from a folder.So if I go in a folder and I set it to List-View for example,whenever
I close that folder and I reopen it the view is set automatically to Details view.And this applies to every folder in my computer except Desktop.It drives me crazy,especially in my pictures folders.
Also with this problem another one came.I can't set a program to open some files,so the file associations for some files is broken.For example
i can't set qTorrent to open torrent files.It just won't open them and the files apear as white documents just like I hadn't had a Torrent program installed already.I find it weird that both problems appeared together.
I previously had to reinstall windows on my machine,because of this problems.It worked normal at the begging,but today these problems appeared
again.
I tried scanning SFC
Scan with no result.
I hope I will get a fix here.
Thanks.
Update:I also just discovered that Metro apps are not working...what the heck its wrong with my windows.

Hey thanks for the reply ,but I got a fix for everything.Apparently the problem is in the registry.
So If the problem began recently, you can try this to fix it :
Press Windows Key + R to show the Run box, type RSTRUI and press enter.
Choose a recent date and time from before the problem beginning (such as the day before yesterday) and click Next.
The system will restore registry settings from that day, and restart.
If you do this however,all the programs you had installed after the restore point date will
be DELETED (same with any settings changes made before that date),so be sure to backup things.Hope this will help someone someday. .

Problem with the Labview PDA and file transfer.

I�m using PALM Tungsten T3 to run some applications. The OS environment is Windows XP. When I try to download a data.txt or data.dat file to the pc using the Hotsync, it gives me an error. There is installed datalogmgr that is the application that allows files exchange between Palm & PC.

I have installed the LVPDA_Patch_70f1.rar file (in the correct order). I tried also with another file generated by PDATempData (in the examples) and it didn�t work. I tried Also to delete datalogmgr and download it again. I tried to instal
ll Labview COnduit again. Any idea?

I know its been a long time since your post. Did you make sure to have the directory that you want the file transferred into created on your PC before the sync. If the folder isn't there you will get that error.

Problems with third party package and file access

I am using a third party package that allows me to decode
multipart forms that I use to upload files to our server.
I have been able to write my own code (JSP) that both reads and
writes to our filesystem. However, when I try to upload a file
using the third party package the method I am using fails with
the following IO exception: The error message is "access is
denied." But the files get written and are usable (even binary
files). I have checked the directories and all the dirs I am
writing to have read, write and execute permission.
I have access to the code so when I duplicate the actual
methods used for writing (FileOutputStream.write(foo)) in my
JSP, it writes fine without exceptions. In fact, I use
FileOutputStream.write() in other code and it works fine. My
question is: why would FileOutputStream work in packages we have
developed and not in a third-party package. I have added the
codebase and filePermissions to <weblogic_home>\weblogic.policy
without any changes.
I am running WLS 5.1 and NT 4.0 with SP5.
Does this problem sound familiar to anyone?
thanks for any and all help,
saulj

HI Mike,
If you have third party Document Management System, then you can post two different message, i.e. service order in transaction details of the third party tool with link to document which would be posted to third party Document management server.
If you don't have third party document management system and what to use sap infrastructure, then you don't need to maintain attachment, maintain the link between the third party tool and SAP document repository, with some login utilities.
Best Regards,
Pratik Patel.

Problem with Cisco VPN client and HP elitebook 2530p windows 7 64-bit

Hi there
I have a HP Elitebook 2530p which i upgraded to windows 7 64-bit. I installed the Cisco VPN client application (ver. 5.0.07.0290 and also 64-bit) and the HP connection manager to connect to the internet through a modem Qualcomm gobi 1000 (that is inside the laptop). When I connect to the VPN, it connects (I write the username and password) but there is no traffic inside de virtual adapter for my servers. When I connect to the internet through wire or wireless internet, I connect de VPN client and there is no problem to establish communication to my servers.
I tried everything, also change the driver and an earlier version of the HP connection manager application. I also talked to HP and they told me that there was a report with this kind of problem and it was delivered to Cisco. I don’t know where is the problem.
Could anyone help me?
Thanks to all.

I am having some huge problems with my colorspace settings. Every time I upload my raw files from my Canon 5D mark II or 6D the pics are perfect in color. That includes the back of my camera, the pic viewer on my macbook pro, and previews. They even look normal when I first open them in photoshop. I will edit, save, and then realize once i've sent it to myself to test the color is WAY off. This only happens in photoshop. I've read some forums and have tried different things, but it seems to be making it worse. PLEASE HELP! Even viewing the saved image on the mac's pic viewer is way off once i've edited in photoshop. I am having to adjust all my colors by emailing myself to test. Its just getting ridiculous.

Check the color space in camera raw, the options are in the link at the bottom of the dialog box. Then when saving make sure you save it to the srgb color space when sending to others. Not all programs understand color space and or will default to srgb. That won't necessarily mean it will be accurate, but it will put it in the ballpark. Using save for web will use the srgb color space.

I had renamed my user login name and assumed that there will be no change in the settings and files. When I login with the new profile name everything is gone. How can I get back all my files and settings?

Finder not able to view folders and files on EHD after updating to OS X 10.9.4

I can see still see 'Hitachi' in the 'Devices' Sidebar, but I am not able to view folders and files on this Hitachi XL2000 2TB FAT32 Hard Drive (EHD) that is USB connected to the iMac below.
Late 2013 Apple iMac (27-inch Display 2560 x 1440), 3.4GHz Quad-core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.8GHz, 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2X4GB, 512GB Flash Storage, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2GB GDDR5, Magic Trackpad, Apple Wireless Keyboard and OS X 10.9.4 Mavericks
All was fine until I updated from OS X 10.9.3 to 10.9.4 earlier this week, so now when I double-click on 'Hitachi' it just loads and loads with nothing happening and never displays the folder and file contents of the EHD.
Also, confirmed that Hitachi EHD has been removed from Spotlight indexing per System Preferences > Privacy > + > Hitachi and it was so this does not seem to be an indexing issue.
I have used OnyX and Apple Disk Utilities unsuccessfully to try and fix this problem.
Interestingly, Backblaze online backup still sees the EHD and connecting this EHD to a Win 8.1 PC also sees the EHD.
Further, I ran the commands below in 'Terminal' to make sure the drive was visible and got the following results which shows that the EHD is not hidden.
iMac:Applications john$ chflags nohidden /Volumes/Hitachi/
iMac:Applications john$ GetFileInfo /Volumes/Hitachi/
directory: "/Volumes/HITACHI"
attributes: avbstclinmedz
modified: 07/10/2014 23:26:44
Finally, I installed XtraFinder and am still not able to see the contents of the EHD, but when I installed OmniDiskSweeper I can navigate the EHD folder tree with no problems and can see the contents of the EHD, but when I try and open up a file it opens Finder which loads and loads and nothing happens.

Apple Support was quite helpful, but in the end I will wait to do a clean install of OS X Yosemite which is due in the Fall and not try and fix OS X 10.9.4 Mavericks.
It turns out that I run backups on my '/Users/john/Library' and the size of this folder before the 10.9.4 update was 1.07 GB and after the update it is 806.9 MB which is baffling, but in the end all of these problems should be resolved with a clean install of OS X Yosemite.
One lesson learned for the future is that I will wait on installing an update until it has been in the wild for awhile as a quick OS X Mavericks Finder Problem search and similar searches show there could be an issue.

Folder view settings not retained in Leopard

Anyone else seen this problem ?
I like to have different folders with different view settings - some icon, some list, and now some coverflow. But, it doesn't retain these settings, it just reverts to whatever view I was looking at last, and applies that to all folders.
This is intensely annoying !
Tiger didn't used to do that.
Is there a solution ?

I've done that. I have all my folders set to open in Icon view except my Music folder, which is set for List view, but I still have the problem with the settings not sticking.
I'm not sure if this is related, but when I got back a folder, the Finder doesn't always remember where I was, ie., I'll be at the bottom of my Applications folder, go to the Utilities folder and then go back to Applications at the top.)

Folder 'View' settings via PowerShell?

I have a need to copy a folder and make sure it is showing Medium Icon view. I had hoped that the Medium Icon setting was just folder metadata and would copy with the folder, but that seems not to be the case. So now I am trying to figure out where this
info is stored, and how to modify the setting with PowerShell. Given that the manual approach is not to right click on the folder, but within the folder, I am stumped in how to proceed.
Gordon

There's a tool called ShellBagsFolder which can be used to determine which registry key contains the folder view settings, but I strongly suspect this would be different for each computer. There are a series of GUIDs that are also associated with the
folder (there's no human readable string that has the folder path) which you might be able to search for and find the hook between the folder path and the registry key so you don't need the third party utility as part of your script.
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shell_bags_view.html
If you download and install it and run it, you can search through the list of folders that will be displayed, right-click on it, and select Open Slot Key in Registry to open Regedit to the parent key for the folder.
I hope this post has helped!

Global Folder View Settings

Hello,
Is there an app for Mac OS 9 that will allow me to change the global folder view settings for things like Window Size & Position, Order of Columns, and Icon or List View? It seems that I spend too much time trying to get new windows to look like I want them to. I have searched for shareware apps with no success.
Thanks,
David

Hi, David -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
I'm not aware of any 3rd-party utility that can do all of that, or even much of it.
There is a work-around that will take care of most of it.
When a folder is created via the New Folder item in the File menu, that folder is automatically granted the defined characteristics (view, order, arrangement, etc.) of the enclosing, or parent, folder. For this purpose, the desktop is considered to be a folder.
If you have a preferred group of settings, set up an empty folder with those settings. Put it in a convenient place. Then, when you want to create a folder with those same characteristics, open that folder and create the new folder within it. The new daughter folder will be given the characteriestics of the parent folder. You can then move the newly created folder wherever you want, and it will retain those settings.

Strange problem with linking to external vob-file

I have a strange problem with linking to external vob-file. I
have created a link using BudApi:
on mouseup
set OK = baOpenFile ( the pathname &
"Files\General\Video\VTS_01_1.VOB", "normal")
end
This code opens mpg-videos correctly, but nothing happens
when I try to open vob-files with the same code. The strangest
thing is that when I change the default program for vob-files to
WinDVD this code works and the file opens, but when I change the
default program to Nero Showtime this code doesn't do anything
(when I open the file 'manually' from the folder, it opens
correctly on Nero Showtime). My client uses Nero Showtime, so I
really would appreciate any help on this one.

If you open a command prompt, do you get an association
listed like this
example for .txt files:
C:\>assoc .txt
.txt=txtfile
C:\>ftype txtfile
txtfile="D:\Program Files\JGsoft\EditPadLite\EditPadLite.exe"
"%1"

Problem with creating/viewing PDF's from InDesign CS3

I have a problem with our PDF workflow and just cannot seem to resolve it.
The problem is as follows: My coworker and I (both designers running CS3 on iMac's running 10.5.6 Leopard) work daily on producing documents and graphic layouts.
Internally we can view and print PDF documents we create just fine with no troubles with the exception of our supervisor, who is running a mac with Tiger operating system. Our office environment is both Mac and PC. On may occasions he cannot print PDF's we create. Many times his prints will contain garbled characters, drop italics and formatting, replace fonts, or just print slowly.
This problem is also happening to our editor who is offsite. This is a fairly serious problem for her, considering her job relies heavily on being able to view and open PDF files we create. She was able to send a PDF file which shows the garbled mess her printer spit out when she printed. Apparently there were pages upon pages of messy garbled text. When documents do print from her, they are usually very slow in printing, taking up to a minute or more to print each page.
The sample of what she sent me is attached, and can also be found on my MobileMe iDisk at: http://public.me.com/rlcollier (document entitled Print Results.PDF)
My question really to the community is obviously what might be causing these problems. Its very frustrating not being able to determine if its something we're doing ourselves thats causing some incompatability or corruption in these files, or if its the users systems themselves. I can say that Debra our editor has can have a garbled mess of a 4 page file from us, and then turn around and print a graphic heavy 90 page PDF with ease from Boeing. Our PDF's seem to be the only ones she struggles with. That being said, my inclination is that its something on our end.
Any ideas of where to start looking? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated and welcomed. Thanks!

I currently had our editor test printing of some of our files using both Foxit and Adobe Reader (as was suggested) in order to see if either made a difference in her printing ability and here is what she came back with:
I tried to print out both these pdfs (David's is the one you reworked and Lisa's HESSM-3, both sent yesterday).
With Adobe: David's first page printed quickly, but it had errors (part of his pants didn't print, and there's an arbitrary shaded box in the text). Page 2 didn't print--every time I tried it had a different "offending command" code. Printing Lisa's HESSM made it up to page 7 before problems showed up (stock photo only partially printed), and it stopped on page 8 (with the random "offending command" code).
With Foxit: Both David's and the HESSM pdfs printed completely and without error...but it took a long time. David's 2 pages took about 3 to 4 minutes, and HESSM's 16 pages took close to 20 minutes. The time is in the transfer of data to the printer; the physical printing goes pretty quickly.
I cant say that I believe email is the problem, although I cant rule it out. I've tested emailing vs. passing through our workgroup with my supervisor, and it does not make any difference in his ability (or lack of ability) to print our files. He was able to print to a different printer (an HP 4650 as opposed to a 4100) without troubles. He refuses to believe its a printer problem however because PDF files originating from our office are the only ones he has trouble with. Never has he had any trouble with a single PDF file produced from any other source. This is also the case for our editor who only has trouble with PDF files originating from either mine, or my coworkers systems.
PS: I've attached both files that were referenced by our editor above for viewing/testing.

I'm having problems with CS2 (mainly illustrator and photoshop

I'm having problems with CS2 (mainly illustrator and photoshop ) randomly shutting down while trying to save a file. Reformatted my laptop for fear of a virus and reloaded... I have gotten nowhere.
Please Help!

CS3 still had issues with the preferences becoming corrupt, so a possible workaround would be to reset the preferences.
The file is called AIPrefs and is located under 'Documents and Settings/User/Application Data/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS3 Settings'. It is a hidden file. Delete it with Illustrator closed and when you launch the program again the file will be rebuilt.
May be it is also sounds like you need more memory for your computer. If you can navigate to your computer's memory controls, and allow your operating system to use a portion of your hard disk drive (HDD) as RAM (maybe 2Gb or so) it may solve your issue.
How is about: http://www.filerepairforum.com/forum/adobe/adobe-aa/illustrator/383-%E2%80%8Bcorrupted-fon ts-in-illustrator-file-urgent-help-need – resource has non-commercial specialty
Third party software Illustrator Repair Kit also must be good solution
It has free demo version at:- http://www.illustrator.repair/
Hope this will be helpful.
